Energy Update: Mercury Retrograde, Nov-Dec 2024
Starting on November 25, Mercury enters its fourth and final retrograde of 2024. The retrograde runs from 22° to 06° Sagittarius and makes thrice repeating aspects with Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Pisces, and Chiron in Aries. Mercury will also conjunct the Sun (as it does every retrograde) and trine retrograde Mars in Leo.
The Basics
Mercury, our planet of communication, technology, and travel, is the fastest-moving planet in our solar system and retrogrades three to four times every year. This means that Mercury’s retrograde cycle is “business as usual” and isn’t something that should be feared but it is a change in the energy signature of one of our personal planets, so it’s worth paying attention and making adjustments where necessary.
Retrogrades don’t mean that the planet ACTUALLY is moving backward, of course. It is a perspective shift in our perception of the planetary movement through our skies. In this way, our perspectives and perceptions can get a bit twisted during these times and it is easy to miss key details or communicate ineffectively.
During Mercury’s retrograde, Mercury traces its path backward in our skies and it is considered better to go over your work rather than start something new. Mercury passes over these degrees in the sky thrice: the first time during its pre-retrograde shadow, the second time while it moves backward during its retrograde, and again a third time while it moves forward in its post-retrograde shadow. Because of this, we all get the cosmic opportunity to relearn and refocus on certain things that are going awry in our lives.
By looking at the degrees of Mercury’s retrograde and comparing it to your birth chart, you can understand how Mercury’s retrograde cycle might affect you. If you don’t want to do this yourself, you can always purchase a Mercury retrograde transit chart from me on Kofi.
Mercury retrogrades affect some people more than others. By order of significance, these people are most likely to be affected by a Mercury retrograde:
If you have Sun, Moon, Ascendant in Gemini and Virgo, or Mercury closely conjunct (within 2°) to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant
If your natal Mercury was in retrograde or out of bounds
If the current retrograde crosses over your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant (in conjunction) or makes a square or opposition
If the current retrograde crosses over your Mercury, Venus, or Mars or makes a square or opposition with them
If the current retrograde makes a trine with one of your personal planets or a sextile to your Sun, Moon, or Ascendant
If you work in a job that involves technology, communication, or travel or are currently undergoing a task that involves one of these domains during this retrograde cycle
If you live with, are in a relationship with, or closely work with a person who meets the above criteria
One can assume that the more of these factors in play, the stronger you may experience the effects of a Mercury retrograde cycle. This isn’t to say that what you experience will be bad or wrong – some people experience a lot of freedom from Mercury’s journey. The more open you are willing to give up control and stay open to the ever-changing landscape of a Mercury cycle, the easier it will be.
The Nitty Gritty
Now that we’ve reviewed the basics let’s look at the specifics of THIS Mercury retrograde cycle. Mercury will retrograde backward from 22°-06° Sagittarius. Sagittarius is our mutable fire sign. Overall, it is concerned with higher education, big thinking, luck, and travel – all aspects that fall within the domain of Jupiter, its planetary ruler. Jupiter is currently in the sign of its exile, Gemini. Interestingly, Sagittarius is also the sign of Mercury’s exile. Gemini and Sagittarius are 7-7 Sun Sing opposites, which is a fancy way of saying that they sit in opposition with one another on the horoscope wheel. This interplay between Mercury and Jupiter – both in the other’s home signs – will play out strongly during this retrograde.
Jupiter is our cosmic cheerleader; it wants to go big and never go home. The problem with its placement in Gemini is that Gemini has endless rabbit holes and diversions for Jupiter to fall into; not only can Jupiter not go home (something that it strives towards), but it can also become hopelessly lost in the labyrinthian double-mind of the twins. This is further exasperated by Jupiter’s ongoing retrograde. We are already distracted by this before Mercury even begins their regularly scheduled shenanigans. Luck isn’t on our side right now because luck isn’t on anybody’s side.
Mercury and Gemini, the sign it naturally rules (along with Virgo), rely on luck an awful lot. They need luck to access what they know out of the scattered filing system so that they speak the right things and they need luck to be believed (or at least given the benefit of the doubt) when they are speaking nonsense that might prove to be true at a later date. I do not mean to belittle Gemini here; they are just mutable air – the essence of pure thought. Not every idea is a good idea, and Gemini doesn’t discriminate. That is one of their best and worst qualities.
And the only sign that relies on luck more than Gemini is Sagittarius. They are cosmic opposites, after all, which any good astrologer can tell you means that they are actually quite similar. Sagittarius is mutable fire – pure inspiration. Sagittarius often seems to have been born to leap before they look. And trust me, the universe (or whatever you want to call it) catches them many times more than seems reasonable.
These two signs are front and center to this retrograde, and both are at a disadvantage. (roll twice, take the worse result – IYKYK)
There are a couple of ways of looking at what is about to happen between Mercury and Jupiter over the next two months (58 days if we’re being exact):
Luck will be iffy, so I should shore up some for a rainy day. Luck is out for lunch, so I should eat elsewhere too. Luck has gone haywire; I can use this.
Neither is right or wrong; a lot depends on your comfort with luck streams and how much you rely on them. Whatever you choose, this will have a particular effect on our lives. When Mercury retrograde makes our vision blurry, and we’re out of luck, we should watch for opportunities that look too easy. Both Gemini and Sagittarius are known for taking the easy road to their detriment. All that glitters is definitely not gold during this time, and you should be wary of the golden-tongued swindler. Check the fine print before you agree to anything during this time.
The days in question where Mercury will oppose retrograde Jupiter in Gemini: 11/18 during Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow, 12/04 during Mercury’s retrograde, and on 12/26 during Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow. Because Mercury and Jupiter are in each other’s native signs, this will be in effect through the next sixty days, but it will appear the strongest around these dates.
Mercury in Sagittarius will also square Saturn in Pisces three times, once when Saturn is retrograde and twice after it has stationed direct during our Taurus full moon on 11/15. Saturn can be seen as the opposite of Jupiter—where Jupiter is constantly expanding, Saturn contracts. Saturn holds fate, time, and consequence within its portfolio. I don’t mean the whimsical tit-for-tat fate of modern Western mysticism; I mean the type of fate that is unavoidable and determined by being alive in a particular place at a specific time. Saturn holds the fated consequences of aging and eventually dying – both in ourselves, our others, and in every living thing that we share breath with. This is why Saturn is often called the Greater Malefic because time is relentless and unending. On a long enough timeline, everything turns to dust. On a long enough timeline, beauty fades. On a long enough timeline, everything that ever was is undone.
In a way, we can view youth as Jupiter who says “Let’s do it all!” and Saturn as our late twenty-something who comes to the realization that choices must be made because there will never be enough time.
Its worth noting that Jupiter and Saturn will be moving ever closer to exact square with one another through this retrograde (exact on 12/24 in close t-square with retrograde Mercury). This is going to make the days on and around this event (including Christmas proper) tense and dramatic. Where Jupiter says push, Saturn grunts Pull, which will likely cause things to grind to a standstill. Don’t expect communication to be easy during this time, or to get much done with any efficiency. I would expect some major blowups between the big personalities in family systems with neither party being able to see or comprehend the other’s point of view. Since this will happen in the clean up phase (post-retrograde shadow) of Mercury’s cycle, it might be for the best if people can really get whatever is eaten them off of their chests. But tempers will have to calm down and regroup before any true reconciliation can happen.
Expect the days that Mercury squares off with Saturn (11/12, 12/06, and 12/27) to be thick and slow as molasses. Some people will undoubtedly have to face the consequences of their actions (or inactions) during this time – especially our words and the many other ways that we communicate. Travel around the holidays is going to be slow and filled with terrors (watch out for accidents and people being very reactive to delays).
Lastly, Mercury will trine Chiron in Aries three times. This is the light at the end of this tunnel, but more like the Hermit lantern than anything – perhaps the light that guides us through the tunnel is more accurate. Chiron is not a planet but rather an asteroid that astrologers have noted with extra interest. It is often called the Wounded Healer after its namesake, a centaur from Greek mythology. Like most true healers, Chiron doesn’t heal – not exactly. Rather, it shines a beacon on what is hurting so that you can face it head on and heal yourself.
Some people really enjoy this process. Others run screaming from it with every fiber of their being. You probably know where you fall on that spectrum, stay very aware of that as we move through our Mercury retrograde cycle. Although as an asteroid, Chiron doesn’t carry the heavy significant of Jupiter or Saturn, most people still feel its impacts, especially when Chiron directly aspects their natal birth chart by birth position or through a major transit like this.
The wisest advice I’ve ever seen about Chiron is that although it sometimes hurts, its wise to remember that Chiron is working for you, not against you. This is a light in our tunnel, and it can point your directly at what you need to change, evolve, reevaluate, work on, etc. in your own life. But you need to be looking and its on you to then do the work to fix what needs fixing.
Chiron has had a much bigger part in this year than most. Firstly, it has been involved in every single Mercury retrograde of the year, where its been helping us to self reflect and grow. Secondly, it played a major role in the stellium that involved our eclipsed new moon in Aries, Chiron, Mercury. and the North Node during April. If that lunation was difficult for you, the remnants of it may rise to the surface for further integration.
Chiron is a reminder that things hurt when we are hurt, or ill, or otherwise in need of healing. And that you might need to hurt more to get through the scar tissues, expel the disease, burn out the fever, or whatever healing analogy you want to get better. Chiron is also the Wounded Healer because it has a wound that can never be healed. Some things can’t be fixed, and that is a hard part of the Chironian lesson as well. Instead, we must learn and adapt to where we are; sometimes the answer is moving the marker rather than trying to walk all that way all by ourselves.
Mercury trines Chiron thrice: first on 11/19 in its pre-shadow, a second time on 12/02 in retrograde, and a third time on 12/31 in its post-retrograde shadow. The big flex is to remember these dates may be painful, but necessary.
The other component of this retrograde cycle is Mars sitting in Leo in its own pre-retrograde shadow. Mars retrogrades on 12/06 which means part of these two personal planets’ retrogrades overlap (from 12/06-12/15). Schedule less during this time. Since almost everyone will have a personal planet ruled by either Mercury OR Mars; people will just – in general – but awful to deal with during this time. Don’t sweat the small stuff and try not to take things personally because everyone is going to be in it.
Retrograde Mercury meets up in a fire trine with retrograde Mars around 12/13 which just screams “Red Flags”. Don’t let someone pull you into a fight if you don’t want to fight. Not my shit, not my monkeys (yeah, its bad enough that we are mixing our metaphors here) should be your mantra during this time. Mars in Leo is egotistic to begin with, and that is going to come to bite someone in the ass. Do the best to make sure its not you, and step out of the way of the falling rocks. Both planets are in retrograde so this is a disaster happening in slow motion – you have time to move if you keep your eyes open. Note that this trine never quite reaches exactitude, which is a deep metaphor for these two retrogrades happening simultaneously.
The full moon on 12/15 is at 23° Gemini (ruler of Mercury) and coincides with Mercury stationing direction. This is our ah-ha moment. What comes up on this day does so for a reason. See it, acknowledge it, use it to your advantage. It may be hard to take action on your insight (Mars Retrograde) so write it down so that you can at a later date when life feels a little bit easier.
Since Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow moves through the end of December and into the New Year (and Mar’s retrograde brings us into March), there isn’t an easy road in sight. Take the low road instead. Enjoy the scenic views and really dig in to what you learn along the way. This is a great time to rewrite, review, renew, revisit, and revise. It is ill advised to start a new job, a new relationship, or a new project during this time unless you are willing to follow it through deep into Wonderland and back out again. But follow the white rabbit, if you dare.

i'd like to propose an idea...
transfem draco malfoy.
He lives his entire life as a daddy's boy, his father always told him about how he was so glad draco wasn't a girl, and it just didnt sit right with him. flash forward to his later hogwarts days and someone transfigures him to female. he doesn't change it, simply because he's "curious" as to what goes on, but really he's learning that it makes him a lot happier
Soon later, her and her friends are deciding between Draya, Dricka, Dawn, December, and Dominique. She's trying out she/they pronouns. She's moved to the female dorms. She supposed nobody was playing tricks on her, and the stairs truly just folded inward on the way to the boys dormatories because she was just never a boy.
Fast forward to adulthood, she's sitting with Harry on the couch. Its a cold autumn this year. They have their respective mugs, harry with hot cocoa and the other with coffee. She's wearing a brown grandpa sweater, because she didnt like the green options. She's happy.
#she also paints the tips of her nails white guys#i love draya/dricka/dawn/december#guys what name did she choose#she stopped wearing green because shes not a slytherin anymore#the griffyndors have agreed to adopt her#she also saw regulus transition ftm sk why cant she transition mtf?#and yes reg is alive bc i said so ok#i am cringe but i am free#i am crazy but i am free#compulsive divinity#harry potter#trans draco malfoy#transfem draco malfoy#transfem draco#drarry#pride#transfem#she/they

Books of 2024: What I'd Like To Read By The End Of The Year.
I was feeling ~Whelmed~ over the weekend about all the things I still want to read, and I thought to myself, "Gee Why Is That??", so I pulled everything off my shelf and stacked it up basically in the order I'd like to read it and then went "....ah I see, carry on."
Now this stack WOULD be fine, except everything from ALWAYS COMING HOME down through HOUSE OF LEAVES is stuff I'd like to read adjacent to writing projects, namely: 1. IN BETWEEN (which I'm working on now but need to wrap up by the end of August) and then 2. NANO (which, y'know. Starts on November 1). So the sixteen (16) books between ACH and HOL are for the next three (3) months, and then I'll come back for the side-leaners during/after NaNo, I think.
(Not pictured in this stack is STARLING HOUSE, which I don't have in hand yet but will also be a NaNo Prep book!)
Basically my plan is to read down through this stack in this order and see how long it takes me! I finally got set up with my coworking space today, so hopefully I'll be writing late a couple nights a week starting. tomorrow. Which. will eat into reading time pretty significantly, hopefully.
But there's so much cool stuff I want to read! And write! And knit!! You see why I'm having A Time, huh.
#books#books of 2024#book stack#book photo#book photography#my photography#also tagging as:#in btw#nano2024#fortunately the haunted bookstore and ambergris kind of blur/fuzz my two writing projects#that's why they're in the middle--transitional#ACH through UNEXPECTED PLACES are the driscoll ones on deck by the end of the month#everything under ambergris is flagged as nano prep#can you tell i'm going to try to write a haunted house book lmao#SELF-PORTRAIT WITH NOTHING and SPIDER AND HER DEMONS are also driscoll adjacent#but i think i'm gonna have to pause those til after nano#(which is fine because it'll be nice to have some driscoll to get back into circa december/january to get back into the vibes)#and then HOW TO BE EATEN and DAWN are leftovers from my 24 in 2024 list that aren't accounted for in the rest of this stack or already read#anyway fuck the dayjob i could do all the things i wanted if i didn't burn 50+ hours a week on capitalism adjacent bullshit#(i work 40hrs and ONLY 40hrs dont worry but. the admining around the job is bullshit and we count that in our time)#(commute plus prep plus packing plus food plus outfits....ugh)#ANYWAY SIXTEEN BOOKS BETWEEN NOW AND NANO ISN'T TOO BAD RIGHT#I'M GONNA GO SHOWER AND READ ACH BYEEE

December 2024 Important Dates
AKA my notes on The Astrology Podcast's December Forecast, hosted by Chris Brennan and Austin Coppock. We're entering this month fresh off a Mercury retrograde, which is fitting for my delay in posting. I'll be skipping the events recap for now. Aside from the Planetary Alignments Calendar above, here is a graph of planetary transits:
December 1st - New Moon in Sagittarius The New Moon today sets the tone for the month. In this case the Moon moves to a square with Saturn right afterwards, bringing a somber tone, and Mercury retrograde doesn't help clear anything up. The lights also trine a slow, temperamental Mars and conjoin fiery fixed star Antares ("lesser Mars"), bringing a combative component.
December 5th - Mercury Cazimi This marks a renewal of Mercury's cycle and brings a wrapping-up energy for the remainder of the retrograde:
December 6th - Mars Retrograde
The last Mars rx in Leo was from December of 2009 to March of 2010, so events in our personal lives from 15 years ago may resurface, repeat, or rhyme. In general, Mars is closest to Earth in its orbit, making it brighter in the sky and visible for larger portions of the night. At the heart of its retrograde, Mars will rise when the Moon does. Austin describes it as "maximum Mars, but nothing is moving"--the topics are still there, but things aren't moving forward like we want them to. Pluto (♒) opposing Mars (♑) during this time (January 3rd, April 27th) brings us an impulse towards extremes: destruction, obsession, and not letting go despite the high cost to ourselves.
Not only will this hit the Leo houses of our charts, but it draws in the previous house containing Cancer as well. For example, a Scorpio rising may experience this in the 10th and 9th houses--first there is an issue of career (10th), but they realize it's actually about their philosophy and values (9th), and then return their focus to career (10th) with things making more sense. This can also play literally as a "duderang" effect where men, masculine people, and other Mars figures bounce back into our lives (especially if it's in a relationship house like the 5th/7th, or aspecting the rulers of these).
On a broader scale, historical parallels may be drawn with other Mars in Leo retrogrades: December 1945 - February 1946, and December 1977 - March 1978 (in addition to December '09 - March '10). This is a weird one because the next Mars rx is not 15 years down the road, but just a few: January - April 2027. Events now will be previews of things soon to come. Additionally, Mars normally spends around a month and a half in each sign, so the retrograde making him spend an inordinate amount of time there sets the tone for us for the next few years--how do I direct my drive and ambitions in this area of life?
December 7th - Venus enters Aquarius, Sun conjunct Jupiter, Neptune Direct This puts Venus in a rough position, as she immediately conjoins Pluto and then applies to an opposition with Mars until the 11th-12th. It'll be easy to see the worst aspects of relational dynamics between Pluto's paranoid power plays and Mars's aggression, taking Venus's chill temporarily off the table...but it's only for a week!
December 14th - Auspicious Electional Chart (not pictured)
At around 11:20AM local time, the Ascendant should be in the early degrees of Pisces rising. This is the most fortunate chart in the month for new ventures and undertakings, with a Pisces Ascendant ruled by a 4th-house Gemini Jupiter, who in turn is in mutual reception with Sagittarius Mercury about to station direct. (Generally dates after this will start to be more auspicious because of the direct Mercury.) There's also an auspicious Moon-Jupiter conjunction about about 15 Gemini, meanwhile Venus is separating from Mars difficulties and applying to boons with Jupiter (even though she's in the 12th house, a sextile from 10th-house Mercury mitigates this). This election is especially good for 4th house topics like home, family, and privacy. As an angular but invisible house, the 4th house can be likened to the director's chair: a vital and influential player who's behind the camera rather than directly visible on-screen. There is also good for more public 10th house topics.
December 15th - Full Moon in Gemini, Mercury Direct This connotes positive motion in Mercury retrograde topics, and Venus further brings in some positive energy with a sextile to Mercury now that she's free from being squeezed between Pluto & Mars. She's also applying to a trine with Jupiter.
The Full Moon (23♊) squares Neptune (27♓), so despite Mercury's direct motion we may still have issues with communication. Things are being said, but what do they mean? Where are we actually going? Luckily, Mercury will oppose retrograding Jupiter on the 26th with mutual reception.
December 19th - Venus Trine Jupiter (not pictured) With Mercury direct some of the chaos has died down, so the middle of the month is a nice reprieve from some of the difficult events earlier.
December 21st - Sun enters Capricorn
December 24th - Retrograde Jupiter Squares Saturn Mercury further activates this exact square by hitting an opposition to Jupiter (13♊) on the 26th and a square to Saturn (14♓) on the 27th. This marks the first quarter/waxing square phase of the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction cycle which began in December of 2020. Chris predicts there will be another economic issue manifesting these themes of growth vs. contraction--though it's not until we see the final hit in June that we'll know exactly what this has all been about.
December 30th - New Moon in Capricorn By now Mars has regressed back to 01-02♌, putting him in a prime position to oppose Pluto (01♒). This lunation really bakes in this signature for the next (lunar) month. There's a temptation to take things too far here. Power from behind the scenes also comes into play, like billionaires censoring media platforms they own according to personal preferences and agendas.

Sagittarius New Moon (20°) for the Rising Signs
December 12, 2023
I feel like this new lunation everyone is planning for their future. I do not recommend yet making the big leap, but I do think everyone hit a learning curve and is applying the knowledge they learned into their lives. Emotional fulfillment is at the forefront so I know everyone is thinking about what brings them happiness and what they should be doing to get there. This is a great time for manifesting the life you want for yourself!
Sagittarius Rising: Increased sense of self worth, new approach to life in general, appearance change (hair cut, hair dye, shaving brows off, etc), increased sensitivity, easier to express emotions, increase your focus on relationships with other women
Capricorn Rising: Finding solace in solitude, doing shadow work/healing in hermit mode, pay attention to your dreams they may be prophetic during this time,
Aquarius Rising: Feeling more lucky or upbeat, invested in planning goals, great time to manifest, great time to post/bring awareness (especially on social media), plan for the future, connect with friends, use protection (especially 5H placements)
Pisces Rising: travel planning, gaining wisdom or learning new things, wanting more freedom, path to discovery, gaining a lot of interest and learning about: spirituality, religion, and/or philosophy. be adventurous!
Aries Rising: travel planning, gaining wisdom or learning new things, wanting more freedom, path to discovery, gaining a lot of interest and learning about: spirituality, religion, and/or philosophy. be adventurous!
Taurus Rising: Accepting your shadow self on a deep emotional level, connecting to the occult and other taboo topics, feeling that something has figuratively died inside you but you feel the rebirth coming
Gemini Rising: Evaluating all the relationships in your life and determining if they fulfill you (especially emotionally), are the partnerships you’re in helping you grow?, who are you bringing into the future with you? How do the people in your life make you feel?
Cancer Rising: Setting a new routine or adding something new into your routine, new focus/goals when it comes to health and wellness, self-improvement on a daily or consistent basis, extra focused on organization and cleanliness
Leo Rising: New inspiration in your creative endeavors, rehashing childhood hobbies and doing things that heal your inner child, new romance (or maybe rehashing an old one), feeling better about expressing yourself, please use protection!
Virgo Rising: rearranging your room or living space, getting into your self care, getting prophetic messages from guides or ancestors, healing mother wounds, connecting with mother/mother figure
Libra Rising: New ways of thinking, learning new things, communicating more openly, being more social and asserting yourself, try not to be impulsive and think before you speak,
Scorpio Rising: thinking about what new skills you want to have, attention shifting to your finances and material possessions, learning to not derive your value from material, no impulsive spending!,

Energy Update: December 2024
December is a “2” Universal Month (12 (December) + 8 (2024) =20 = 2+0 = 2] in an “8” Universal Year. Two is a movement number – things begin to balance out from the pure creation of the energy of the “1” month prior, and decisions start to present themselves. This aligns poorly with the astrology of the month, which is dominated by two major personal planet retrogrades (Mercury and Mars). In order to seek out balance or come into alignment with what is, we may need to work backward.
The Set Up
We begin the month with the Sun and retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Capricorn, Mars deep in its pre-retrograde shadow in Leo, retrograde Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, retrograde Uranus in Taurus, and Pluto in Capricorn. This month, we will only have two planetary ingresses: our Sun will enter Capricorn, and Venus will enter Aquarius. This is due to Mercury’s retrograde, which ends on 12/15, that keeps our planet of Communication, Travel, and Technology in the sign of its exile for an exceptionally long time.
The Details
All eyes are on Mars, which will retrograde on 12/06 at 06° Leo. This retrograde will stretch into the new year; it ends in late February, but the post-retrograde shadow will continue until the beginning of May. This is the Big News Bear of the month as it will impact our entire holiday season, but it also sets the tone for 2025.
Mars
Mars gets top billing this month due to its upcoming retrograde on 12/6. This isn’t a post specifically about the retrograde (that’ll be out later – look for it in your email if you’re signed up for my mailing list), but it is significant enough to warrant a brief discussion. Mars is the slowest moving of our personal planets and tends to retrograde every 26 months or so. Because this planet dictates our modes of action and energy levels, we can expect forward motion (as a whole) and output to be lower during Mars’ retrograde periods. This is business as usual and the expected result of a Mars retrograde, but that doesn’t mean that people will be comfortable or accepting of this outcome.
Therein lies a lot of the struggles of a Mars retrograde cycle. Many of us (especially those ruled by Mars – Aries and Scorpio – or those with strong Martian placements) rely on accomplishments and consistent action to regulate our nervous systems. When thwarted, the Martian temperament can get aggressive and moody. Some types can be pushy or overtly forceful, and if one thing is for sure, it is that nothing should be forced during a Mars retrograde. Let it unfold slowly, and try to enjoy the ride.
This retrograde starts in fixed fiery Leo and ends in cardinal watery Cancer. A lot of people are going to fuck some shit up so that they can feel like they are still sitting on their throne and likely cry about it later.
It’s wise to remember that the planets aren’t here to hurt us, no matter how much our dysregulated brains might try to tell us so. Instead, if we look at planetary retrogrades as an opportunity to review, restart, realign, reassess, and rejuvenate, they can actually be valuable times of othered space. Each planet in retrograde adds a layer of the liminal to the space soup, and the more planets in retrograde at a time, the more liminal our space becomes.
It’s worth noting here that Mars’ retrograde overlaps with Mercury’s in December by five days (from 12/6-12/15). These are powerful days to slow down and assess where your life is and what you need to change to move forward. This is especially fortunate for those who celebrate the new year in January, as it is an early chance to align yourself with your goals for the year ahead.
Mars will station direct on 2/23, so this is a long-game transit – much longer than Mercury’s month-long retrogrades. Other than slowing us all down (and probably causing some significant tifts over the holidays), Mars won’t be doing much this month as – during the time when a planet stations (changes directions) they tend to hold their position in the sky for an abnormally long time. If you have a personal planet in the early degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), you might feel the strain of Mar’s lack of movement all month. Expect things to get angsty. Expect divas to be on the very biggest tears. It is what it is; I find Leo’s energy pretty easy to walk away from if it’s getting to be too much, but your experience may vary.
Iron gate boundaries might be in order, especially with that incredibly demanding family member who never figured out that they aren’t the main character in your life. You might find that you need to do less; if you do, know you are right on time.
Mars retrogrades are almost inevitably challenging. Even if you can manage your own life slowing down (some of us even like it this way), you still have to deal with the absolute temper tantrums of those who can’t stand still for whatever reason. Stay aware of the Aries, Scorpio, and Capricorn types in your life (Sun, Moon, Ascendant, and Mars placements mostly here) or anyone with Mars in Cancer or Leo. They may be seriously losing their shit (and, if so, iron-clad boundaries, as I said), but they may also just need support as to what to do when you can’t do.
This retrograde aligns well with the season of withdrawal (lovingly called Fallowtide by some) but less well with our hustle-and-bustle holiday season. It’s okay not to do anything, especially if you are prone to low energy for any number of reasons. Take care of yourself often and early.
Our Lights: The Sun and the Moon
Our big win for the month is our two new moons – the first in Sagittarius on 12/01 and the second in Capricorn on 12/30 – which bookmark our month. Our Capricorn moon is especially auspicious because – as I have mentioned elsewhere – in 2024, we had two Capricorn new moons and two full moons. If, as I suggested, you have worked the Capricorn moons this year, this is your fourth and final chance to do so. Even though it is early from a calendar perspective, I would do any magic working or intention setting for 2025 during the hour of the new moon on 12/30. Capricorn is THE sign of long-term planning. Use that to your advantage.
We begin the month on 12/1 (always significant as the 1st dictates the energy for the month ahead) with a new moon at 09° Sagittarius in a t-square with Saturn at 13° Pisces and retrograde Jupiter at 16° Gemini. It’s worth noting two things here. The first is that Sagittarius, the sign of our lunation, is ruled by the planet Jupiter, which is currently in the sign of its exile, Gemini. Luck is on the fritz right now, and all that glitters is most certainly not gold. Additionally, this square between Jupiter and Saturn is Ascendanting meaning that the two planets haven’t actually met at a 90° angle; we are working towards this square, not away from it.
This square between Jupiter and Saturn, currently in Pisces and Gemini, will be a major player in the energy of 2025. The planets meet in an exact square on the Pisces-Gemini axis and the Aries-Cancer axis. Luck may have gone awry, but this is an opportunity to glimpse what lies ahead.
So you are saying, there is a chance. On this day the answer is almost irrevocably yes.
Our Sagittarius new moon is a 9/2 new moon. 9 (Sagittarius moon) + 9 (Sagittarius Sun) = 18 = 1+8 = 9. 9 (Sagittarius new moon) + 2 (December 2024) = 11 = 1+1 = 2.
We are in the midst of some big endings, symbolized by the “9” energy, but the “2” echoes the glimpse into the future and the choices that lie ahead. This is a day well spent in divination or pathfinding of all kinds.
Our Sagittarius Sun squares Saturn on 12/04, which should not surprise anyone. Everyone is being held accountable for their actions in some way or another. This is business as usual; the Sun squares Saturn twice a year, but I’ve always noticed that it seems to show up like clockwork when the world needs it the most. Any Sun/Saturn transit adds a lot of power to magic used for justice and to hold people accountable for their actions. The sign of the archer can be especially helpful for Justice spellwork as Sag has a natural desire toward the highest good. If you work with runes, the Tiwaz rune would be especially useful during this time.
Our full moon falls on 12/15 at 23° Gemini. It is mostly unaspected besides a square to Neptune in Pisces, which carries energy similar to a major lunation anyway. This is also the day that Mercury stations direct at 06° Sagittarius. The twofold nature of switching, Mercury in direction and the Moon in purpose (wax on/wane off if you will) can be used to enact many types of magic for change. Mars is retrograde by this point, though, so be careful how you word anything focused on movement in the physical world during this time. Think Road Opener rather than a spell to force direction.
Our Gemini full moon is a 3/5 full moon. 3 (Gemini moon) + 9 (Sagittarius Sun) = 12 = 1 + 2 = 3. 3 (Gemini full moon) + 2 (December 2024) = 5.
3 is our Manifestation number (useful for all types of magic), and 5 has the go-to-itsness to break through nearly all barriers.
Once the Sun enters Capricorn, it squares the lunar nodes on 12/23. Our lunar nodes will leave the Aries-Libra axis for Pisces-Virgo at the end of January; this is the end of the line for this cycle. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, can work too hard to keep the peace at times; where are you saying “yes” when you really mean “no” in your life? This might be one less thorn in an old wound or pass less painfully. Cardinal signs are the most likely to notice this transit.
It all comes full circle to our new moon at 09° Capricorn on 12/30. This lunation is still in a wide square to our lunar nodes and is also sextile to Saturn, echoing the energy of that early Sun-Saturn square. Both Saturn and the lunar nodes rule something you could classify as fate or destiny. But in a less woo way than many would use the terms today. Some things are meant to be. You live. You die. A volcano erupts. A major plague races across the land. Because you took your first breath at this exact time in that exact place, you will live through these things. Because our Moon touches on both, but not in exactitude, I would expect all of us to be contemplating our place in the universe a bit during this lunation. Both where we have been – our place in this existence – and where we are going.
What can we can do to help? (Helping is the best way to actualize Capricorn energy)
Our Capricorn new moon is a 2/4 new moon. 10 (Capricorn Moon) + 10 (Capricorn Sun) = 20 = 2+0 = 2. 2 (Capricorn New moon) + 2 (December 2024) = 4.
I have to giggle at this because I consider Capricorns to naturally carry a lot of “4” energy around with them. “4” is a very balanced number; it is all about structure. What are Capricorns doing if not shoring up their world to protect it from the elements? (as is their nature, being born in the deep winter months) When considering the power of the Number 4, I would ask you to think of the older man-made structures still standing. Did the Egyptian pyramids come to mind? That is “4” energy; it grounds in all directions; it has longevity. Again, this 4 energy makes this a great day to do magic or set intentions for the new year ahead. You may wish to set an intention that will become manifest by the Capricorn full moon on 7/10/25.
Mercury
For the first half of December, Mercury will be moving backward in retrograde towards 06° Sagittarius, where it will station direct under the light of our Gemini full moon. This is notable because Mercury is the ruling planet of Gemini; this will be a day highly invigorated with Mercurial energy. We should all realize by now that Mercury retrograde is business as usual and simply a change in the expression of our “normal” Mercury energy. I’ve written more about this particular Mercury retrograde here.
It’s worth also remembering that Mercury is in exile in Sagittarius because Sagittarius is the opposite sign of Gemini, the sign of Mercury’s domicile. In Sagittarius, thoughts can be demanding, and people can become convinced that their way of thinking is the only right way. We all need to watch out for intellectual elitism and educational superiority, two bad behaviors of Mercury in Sagittarius. Every lived experience brings a different story and background to the table, and we need each to function together rather than separately. This is the first hit on this lesson, and it will take on a greater meaning as our North Node enters Pisces next month.
This retrograde cycle involves big hitters Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces. This circles back to what I said above about Jupiter square Saturn having a big part to play in the year ahead. We often visit troublesome aspects through Mercury first. This cosmically makes some sense because when presented with a problem, to proceed, the best course of action is usually to think something through. Keep in mind that in firecracker Sagittarius, Mercury does not seem inclined to take that kind of time.
It is an oversimplification, but Jupiter brings the Go/Expansion energy and Saturn the Stop/Retraction energy. This is interesting because Jupiter gets nothing but space to expand in formless, airy Gemini, which you would think it would like, but it really doesn’t (it is the sign of Jupiter’s exile), and amorphous watery Pisces does nothing to give Saturn the form it so desperately requires. Neither giant is at its best, making them more demanding. In this case, Saturn will always be the rock, and Jupiter is playing the role of the hard place.
Mercury has to pass through this vice three times. We’ve done this once while Mercury was in forward motion and when Jupiter and Saturn weren’t in a very tight square. The second pass happens early this month between 12/04 when Mercury opposes Jupiter (each planet in its exile, a nasty untethered opposition) and 12/06 when Mercury squares Saturn. We might want to expand during this time (or just jump out of the way of the rocks rolling downhill toward us), but there’s nowhere to go. This is the hole of Mercury’s retrograde cycle; I’d bet most people fall into it somehow.
Alternatively, you could be trying to get your ball rolling, and one thing after another keeps getting in the way. This kind of aspect works both ways, sometimes both ways in the same situation, which can be extremely uncomfortable.
That the Mercury-Saturn squares goes exact as Mars retrogrades on 12/06 tells us a lot about the character of that day. Just don’t. If it’s not Essential, emphasis on the Capital E, do it another day. Things generally grind to a halt for a reason. You can force the wheels or look for a rock in the tires. The choice is, of course, up to you.
And then, just in time for Christmas, we get our third pass-through of this rough t-square between Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn between 12/24 and 12/26, this time with Mercury in forward motion. If you need to make amends for anything you said out of line earlier in the month, this is the time to come clean about it. The more you take responsibility for your own part in this mess, the less pressure Saturn will put on you. Always placate Saturn first; Jupiter is too all-important to care about turn order.
Things will feel a bit easier after Mercury’s retrograde ends mid-month, but Mercury remains in its exile all month long as it tracks its way all through its post-retrograde shadow in Sagittarius. The benefit of Sagittarius is that most Sag will tell the absolute truth as they see it. Sometimes, that includes coming clean about things, too. It should be no surprise that this will be a holiday season full of hard conversations; we can hope that at least they include honesty and words spoken from the heart. (Sag sometimes needs to be reminded they have a heart, but they will come in strong once encouraged there)
Mars will greatly overshadow this retrograde, but keeping it in the back of your mind is still important. If that person is just talking out of their ass, maybe make a snide comment to yourself, blame Mercury, and walk the fuck away. If it takes an extra two hours and a detour to get to Gramma’s house, that’s two hours less of talking to Uncle Eddie. Make sure you are sending those nudes to Tara in Sales and not Tara, your boss, if you know what I mean. Things tend to go awry during a Mercury retrograde cycle when we are on autopilot and not paying attention.
The easy and obvious anecdote to that is to pay attention. Standard Mercury retrograde advice applies: save often, double-check before you hit Send, and expect delays. Your friendly neighborhood Geminis and Virgos will be down for the count like they are every Mercury retrograde. The energy of all things communication, technology, and travel will be slower and deeper as Mercury wanders the low road. The more you can work with Mercury’s energy rather than against it, the easier your life will be.
Mercury exits its post-retrograde shadow in early January. We will have relatively smooth sailing with our planet of communication until the end of March and early April.
Venus
Venus is almost two full signs ahead of our Sun and Mercury all month long as it begins the month in Capricorn and ends it in Aquarius. It is on its own journey, which doesn’t really include stepping in to help out with the inevitable squabbles that are bound to come up all month long as both Mercury and Mars retrograde in fire signs. Venus can be pretty far out there in the fixed air sign of Aquarius and, at times, even unattainable.
Venus makes two major appearances this month. First, Venus will conjunct Pluto at 00° Aquarius on 12/07. Pluto is our outermost planet and seems responsible for the erosion of all things through the lens of time itself. Of course, in Roman mythology, Pluto was the god of the Underworld. On a long enough timeline, all things end: nations, marriages, lives, and this world.
Pluto has never before been in the sign of Aquarius when astrologers knew of the planet’s influence, so we can only surmise what this new journey will bring to humanity. But we will taste it through a Venusian lens this month.
Then, on 12/12, Venus opposed retrograde Mars in Leo. This is pretty big break-up weather, but that shouldn’t be anything to worry about if you are in a safe and secure relationship. Leo and Aquarius aren’t that different from one another (Sun sign opposites are and should be ready as a pair), but where they differ is very stark. Where Leo is a traditionalist, Aquarius is pointed straight toward the wildest of infinite possibilities. Leo wants the world, and Aquarius wants the universe. They can become aligned but often choose not to out of ego and the inability to step off their respective daises.
Fixed signs aren’t inclined to move; that much is for sure, and this will go doubly for all Martian and Leo types during this time. If anyone is going to give an inch, it will have to be Aquarius.
Although I specified break-up weather, I want to clarify that relationships do not always involve love, sex, or romance. We are in a relationship individually with each of our family members, with our best friends and our worst enemies, and with our bosses and coworkers. American culture puts a huge emphasis on love and sex, but relationships exist of all kinds. We talk about wars between nations but rarely about wars within families or workplaces. The interplay between Venus (receiving) and Mars (giving) shows us how our relationships are flowing – even international ones between nations. Together, they give us an idea of how easy it will be to get along.
Oppositions are fidgety and difficult to read, even for the most seasoned astrologer. Sun Sign opposites can differ in specific ways but are also quite similar and desperately need each other. The conflicts that will arise during this time CAN be resolved, but it calls for somebody to step down and let the other by. Neither planet looks well poised to do so, which is generally unfortunate. We still get free choice, though; that’s the beauty of how the above is reflected below: the planets dictate that there will be conflict, but WE still get to choose what we do when it happens.
What is worth fighting for? Is it worth standing up to the one you love the most? Is it worth standing up to your family? Is it worth standing up to the world?
Many of us have to grapple with this right now, and I think many people will say resoundingly, “Yes.” I’m not here to give you the correct answers because my trials and choices will differ infinitely from yours.
What I am here to say is that there is a reason (in the skies and our lives) why people are going to choose Fight this holiday season, and we should think about both how we are making those choices for ourselves AND how we should respond when someone decides they want to fight with us. The big flex all month will be to pick your fights, but we all know that will be easier said than done.
I’m choosing to discuss conflict in the Venus section for a reason. Diplomacy plays as important a part in conflicts as Action, though culturally, we often downplay this. Venus in Aquarius can be talked into looking back at the rest of us earth landers, but only if you speak to her higher nature and propose something new and innovative. Venus in Aquarius doesn’t have time for momentary peace; it wants the whole package or nothing at all. The craziest idea might be the one that is the solution all month long.
Jupiter and Saturn
Our two intermediate planets, Jupiter and Saturn, play a major role in dictating the pace of our lives. Jupiter, the planet of Luck and Expansion, quickens everything it touches, while Saturn, the planet of Time and Consequence, slows or halts. We need both of these forces in our lives. They are moving in and out of squares for the next year.
The first square happens on 12/24 with Jupiter in Gemini and Saturn in Pisces. Neither planet is at its strongest here, but Saturn probably wins out due to Jupiter being in its exile. Expect things to be slow. But that’s also indicated by our Mars retrograde, so let’s say it’s extra slow. This first square includes Mercury in Sagittarius square to Saturn and opposed to Jupiter. This is a harsh mutable t-square, which will have everyone scrambling but few finding solid ground.
You may notice this repeating cycle of three squares (one in December and two next year). If it sounds awfully like a retrograde cycle, that’s because it is. This is happening because Jupiter (being the faster-moving sign) has caught back up to Saturn (by degree) and is now going to retrograde forward and back again thrice across Saturn’s path. Jupiter and Saturn will both change signs in 2025 in synch with one another – this will put a lot of stress on the line between Gemini-Cancer (for Jupiter) and Pisces-Aries (for Saturn). We will be in this push/pull cycle for a while; this is just the first pass.
Looking Forward
Hello January! Hello 2025!
The big deals in January will be our Mars retrograde and the changing of the guard as our lunar nodes slide onto the Pisces-Virgo axis. The big deal for the year is that Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all change signs in four months. As we move into each new sign in 2025 with our Sun, Mercury, and Venus, we are forced to confront all of our outer planets in unison. We are on the event horizon now.

Haven’t been birding a lot lately, in part due to weather but mainly because of an ongoing transit strike that makes it much harder for me to get to my usual favourite patches. I had a great day birding today though, and sounds like transit will be returning soon thankfully!!
