The final month of the year is following a similar pattern to most years, but with the lines starting to become blurred earlier in the year than is often the case and especially when it comes to the different sides of life's fence. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery before returning to your career sector on the December solstice, this will always see the solar spotlight shift from one side of life's fence to the other just before Christmas. Often, just as everyone else is getting into holiday mode, you are starting to think about lining up for the new professional year.
This doesn't usually get in the way of embracing the holiday spirit, for while this puts the solar spotlight on your professional game, as it will always spend the first three weeks of each year in your career sector, this is more a chance to start looking ahead. At the same time, as is often the case, while the Sun will leave your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 22nd December, Venus on Christmas Day and the asteroid Juno on 30th December Mercury, who retrograded back out last month will return on 12th December, where he will end the month. This should keep things nicely balanced, but a week before the Sun returns to your career sector, this professional year is going to catch its second wind and stay that way through to the end of January.
On 15th December, a week ahead of the Sun, Mars will return for his first visit to your career sector in two years, with the warrior planet of the cosmos ready to squeeze as much as he can from this professional year as he can and get 2026 off to an empowered start. Helping to keep things in check and especially when it comes to your work/life balance is Jupiter, who positioned on the other side of the sky in your home and family sector, will have some firm guardrails in place. The last New Moon of 2025 will fall in an adventurous part of your chart on 20th December, while the last Full Moon of 2025 will fall in your communication sector on 5th December, giving you a chance to move into the final weeks of the year with the communication lines open.
Thanks to Venus, the month not only gets off to a positive start, but with it a chance to relax and lighten up a little going into the final month of the year. By this point, every planet that will visit your romantic and relationship sectors this year has already moved through, with the Moon set to make just one more visit to each. It was just last month that as the last planet to return and the last to leave, Venus ended all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year. This was the more challenging part of the year, but in the process, this has left you with a better sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.
Meanwhile, things will take a lighter turn when on 1st December, the planet of love returns to an adventurous part of your chart to begin a mission to bring the spirit of romance and adventure together. With the Sun always spending the first three weeks of December here and Mars not wrapping up his first visit in two years until 15th December, Venus will return to find that a passion for adventure has already set in. It is before Mars leaves that the Moon will make its last visit to your romantic sector for the year from 8th December to 9th December.
A friendly aspect to the Sun, Venus and Mars as it moves through will see these romantically charged lunar vibes add even more fuel to a mix of romance, passion and adventure. This is something that Venus will continue to hold onto and nurture until she leaves on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, the Moon will make its last visit to your relationship sector for the year from 13th December to 15th December, something that will bring a chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. Helping to go into this with the communication lines open will be the Moon's return to your communication sector from 4th December to 6th December as a Full Moon.
