Welcome to December, Aries. During November, the transformative planet Pluto finally stationed in Aquarius, ushering in a new era. This month, your ruling planet, Mars, goes retrograde. And a full moon at the end of the month potentially brings welcome career news.
The aforementioned Mars retrograde begins early in the month, on Friday, December 6, in your pleasurable 5th House. As Mars rules sexual energy, this indicates that your libido may shift between now and the end of February, when Mars goes direct. If this happens, go easy on yourself and know that it’s okay for such things to ebb and flow. Also, on Friday, December 6, sweet Venus enters your 11th House of Friendship. This suggests that while your libido may dial back, your friendships, including those with romantic partners, will flourish. When Mars is retrograde, your also may feel a little less ambitious than usual. It’s okay to allow yourself to rest and relax the next few months.
Adding to the theme of friendship this month, the next day, on Saturday, December 7, Ceres, the asteroid of nurturance, also moves into your 11th House. In color magic, red represents firey passion, while pink represents sweet love. The next few weeks will be very pink! Also on Saturday, December 7, the dreamy planet Neptune ends its retrograde and goes direct in your 12th House of the Unconscious. This transit leaves you feeling more grounded and helps you take a rational approach to spirituality. This isn’t an oxymoron. It means that you’ve likely been considering working with tarot, honoring ancestors, or going to church and now are able to embrace any changes to your worship style.
There may be slight tension in romantic relationships on Thursday, December 12, when your ruling planet, Mars, currently in Leo, opposes Venus, currently in Aquarius. Mars rules sexual energy (think the color red), and Venus rules the softer side of love (think pink). Perhaps you’re navigating a changing libido. It’s a day for lots of self-soothing. Remember that communication is the name of the game, and it is important to deal smoothly with any changes in your relationships. If you’re single, know that this day could also bring potential disagreements in friendships, so bring patience and understanding to all of your partnerships.
