December 1st-3rd
Venus is Opposite Mars
Under this aspect, we feel passionate yet unsatisfied. We may experience hardships with our romantic partners. At this time, we may be tempted to be unfaithful. We are more concerned with ourselves rather than others.
Mercury is Square Neptune
Under this square, our heads are stuck in the clouds. We may feel like we have been knocked off balance. Our mental and emotional health may suffer. However, there is a positive side to this square. Because Neptune is at home in Pisces, our imagination flourishes at this time.

Neptune Stations Direct
Neptune governs our dreams, spirituality, and imagination. During a Neptunian retrograde we awaken from our fantasies and see our reality for what it really is. But now that it is stationed direct, we see our reality for what it can be. We must take all that we have learned and apply it to our lives so that we may create the world that we want. This retrograde made us confront our traumas head-on. Now we must learn how we can heal from them. This is also a time for artistic expression. You can channel your wisdom and creativity through art, performance, and the written word.
December 4th-10th
Venus is Square Neptune
Under this square, we have a great amount of love for our family and partners. However, this love is coupled with feelings of jealousy, hypersensitivity, and mutability. Our need for independence coupled with our new erotic desires may attract new lovers. However, we may lose them as quickly as we attract them.
