On December 24, Saturn will be in ideal angle to Uranus, the first of three such meetings that will not occur again until 2047. The next two rare meetings of these two planets will come on May 18 and November 11, a beautiful feature of 2017. The job of Uranus is to look for all that is outworn and no longer relevant to your future, and to sweep it away. Uranus strikes like lightning, but does work with you to build something new. Saturn’s job is always to create lasting structure, so in coming months, because these planets move very slowly, you will be making changes that you like, and that will be in place a long time.
On December 25, Venus, planet of love, affection, and beauty, will meet with Jupiter in your fifth house of romance, and with Uranus, the planet ruling surprises (this time, good ones)! Venus will also work with Saturn, so that the promises you make to the ones you love will be promises to keep, now and forever.
On the day after Christmas, December 26, Mars, by late month in Pisces, will send a missive to the Sun, giving you a great day to hear praise about your work and possible talk about a new professional role for you. If you are self-employed, you may get sensational publicity on this day. On December 30, Neptune, the ruler of your house of fame and honors, will also signal the Sun. There is no doubt that the end of December will be your time to shine professionally. Keep in mind that the days I mentioned have a plus one extra day attached to them.
The new moon of December 29, plus the ten days that follow in January, will bring an enormous emphasis on money. If anyone owes you, such as from a court settlement, insurance payout, or for venture capital, you will likely see a wire transfer for these types of funds at the very end of December. You will have a choir of support – Neptune, Pluto, and Mars will see to it that you see your cash. It will be an excellent time to do financial year-end planning. You may find ways to make legal deductions to taxes that you didn’t know about, and ways to make your savings grow bigger.
New Year’s Eve will bring the transiting moon to Aquarius, a fellow air sign like yours. This is terrific news, for you will likely be with friends to ring in the New Year. Happy New Year, dear Gemini!
Summary
December is when you’ll need to deal with a significant other who won’t always see eye-to-eye with you. Learning the give-and-take that comes with any committed partnership, in love and marriage or in regard to a business venture, is the entire message of taskmaster Saturn these days. Fortunately, you are a flexible Gemini, able to come up with alternative plans and methods when needed. You also are the zodiac’s master communicator, so if anyone can reach peaceful accord, it’s you.
Mars will help you, so it appears you may have to travel a distance either together or to see one another, and if so, that trip will be quite productive and happy.
Jupiter is standing in the wings from your house of love, helping you strongly during in the first ten days of December, so if you are in a discussion with your steady partner that does not go the way you had initially hoped, Jupiter will remind you both that you belong together. If the partner involved is your business partner, ask about details, as you have Neptune spreading fog over the situation, and facts may be obscured. Jupiter, however, will lend his gifts of creativity to the situation. A comforting fact to keep in mind is that Jupiter will remain in your fifth house of love until next year, October 2017, so you can count on an enchanting period for matters of love over a long, sustained period.
Mars will likely cause you to travel a far distance, and your trip will go well, for any purpose, especially on December 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24-25. This is true even though Mercury, which rules travel, will be exerting a weak signal as it prepares to retrograde on December 19. Mars will pick up the banner for you – trips will be successful as long as you pack and label your bags carefully, check that you have your ID before you go to the airport, keep track of your possessions, and if driving for all or part of the trip, that you have an accurate address and instructions to get to your destination – don’t rely solely on GPS.
Financially you appear to be near obsessed with tax planning, investments, and having your ledgers line up perfectly. Mars has centered you on money matters and discussion since early November. Good idea.
Mercury, your ruling planet, will go retrograde in Capricorn in your financial eighth house on December 19 until January 8, suggesting that you may find checks due to you to be late. If anyone has not yet paid you, and weeks have gone by, send another reminder statement in early December. Be careful in your record keeping, for you might make a mistake.
Once you come to the new moon in Capricorn 8 degrees later in the month, December 29, your interest in tax planning, investigating your covera
