Held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year, Venus is catching up with the Sun and next month will finally get out in front, giving your heart the first say when she returns to Aquarius before your birthday month and new solar year begins next month. For now though, while the Sun left your career sector towards the end of last month, until leaving on 1st December Venus is still trailing behind, while helping to cement the connections made to Jupiter, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your work sector and Saturn and Neptune, in their last full month together in your income sector. This is something that Mercury will also do before leaving on 12th December, something that will end all planetary activity on the career front for the year. It is then that first Venus and then Mercury will follow the Sun into your friendship sector, where for the first three weeks of December he will always have the solar spotlight on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking. They will also return to find Mars here and until leaving on 15th December, firing up your passions, competitive and team spirit. Until leaving on Christmas Day, Venus will have the laws of attraction and synchronicity working in harmony, while from 12th December Mercury is here for the rest of the year, doing what as the planet of communication he does best. Meanwhile, seven days before the Sun is due to return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 22nd December to begin the month long wind down of your old solar year, Mars' return on 15th December will begin the six week wind down of your current two year Mars cycle. This is something that over the holiday period in particular, will give you a chance to pull back and recharge your batteries, ready for Mars' return to Aquarius next month and for what will be an empowered start to your birthday month and new solar year. Meanwhile, while the last New Moon of 2025 will fall in your friendship sector on 20th December, the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in a playful and creative part of your chart on 5th December.
