Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in a playful and creative part of your chart before returning to your busy work sector on the December solstice each year, at some point in the month both sides of life’s fence are going to be fighting for your attention. While the Sun will always make that transition at the same time each year and this will see the solar spotlight shift from one side to the other, Venus and Mercury, who travel close to the Sun don’t stick to the same strict timetable, so there is always going to be an overlap.
However, this year that overlap not only starts a lot sooner, but will be a lot more marked, for the solar spotlight is more about observing, while when Mars leaves a playful and creative part of your chart and returns to your work sector on 15th December, it will be to begin what could be some of the busiest weeks of both 2025 and 2026. Whether you are working through the holiday period or not, once Mars begins his six week mission to fire up your work passions, fighting and competitive spirit, he will be looking for something to channel a need to stay busy into. Fortunately, with the Sun not leaving a playful and creative part of your chart until 22nd December, Venus until 25th December and Mercury, who will return on 12th December here for the rest of the month, this will help to keep things balanced.
Before then, as the last planet to leave your home and family sector this year, after Venus leaves on 1st December, Mercury will stay on until 12th December, as he works to keep the communication lines open and to help you make choices, decisions and plans. Meanwhile, Saturn’s direct turn in your financial sector late last month and Neptune’s direct turn on 11th December marks the start of their trek back out again, with a chance in the final weeks of the year to get serious about taking your financial power back.
