A busy month lies ahead, Pisces, a time when you should be socializing and rubbing elbows with people who are going places. And it’s not because it’s holiday season. As December begins, you have three planets—Pluto, Venus and Mercury—all in your house of camaraderie and networking. This is an excellent time to show your face at Christmas parties in the neighborhood and the office, attend seminars and pick the brains of people in your industry.
Your career especially can get a big boost from schmoozing as both the Sun and Saturn are in your house of goals and success. They can help you with any goal really, such as losing weight or finding a lover, but there is a strong emphasis on making money this month. Erratic Uranus has been retrograde in your income sector since early summer and it’s now scheduled to resume direct motion on the 29th. So if your earnings have been gyrating, or you’ve been waffling back and forth over which direction to head in with your career, 2017 should start off with less drama.
But first it appears that you really need to get down to the nitty gritty and decide what you want out of life. Sometimes we outgrow goals or follow ambitions because that’s what our parents or society are telling us to do. The need for clarity is apparent from your chart. Mark the 10th as an important day on your calendar, as you can make some life changing decisions about which path to take. Serious Saturn meets up with the authoritative Sun, holding a power meeting about your future—what needs to stay and what has to go.
It may not be an easy day as decisions like these can be hard to make, but you’ll be glad you did. Helping matters along is energetic Mars which is in the house of your subconscious mind. This is where we house our fears and concerns (real or imagined) along with habits (good or bad). We hang on to sorrows, guilt and other unpleasant emotions here, but the fabulous thing is that we can get rid of them when this sector is activated. And with take-no-prisoners Mars in da house, you could end up being highly motivated to cleanse your mind and soul of bad memories, toxic ties and habits that don’t serve you.
This is also the house of confidentiality, so you may not want to blab about your goals or job interviews to 500 of your closest friends via social media. Keep as much as you can under wraps for now. Solid days for hush-hush career advancement and salary talks are the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th. This may seem impossible but Christmas Eve and Day are also loaded with positive aspects for better working conditions and success, so don’t assume that everyone is in Aruba and won’t take your calls.
Networking to get ahead is highly favored in December, but do so before the 19th when Mercury goes retrograde in this part of the sky. Also, if you have employees working for you, or you’re part of a team effort (a charity, volunteer group, team at the office) make sure that everyone knows what roles they play and what their responsibilities are, especially if you are taking off time over the holiday week. Double check all technology—your website, social media accounts, apps, software, systems—before the 19th as Mercury back spins in your tech sector. The last thing you need as Christmas approaches is a massive computer glitch.
The full moon on the 13th falls in your house of home and family, so something may be drawing to a close. For instance, you may finally sell your house, tell your parents to butt out of your business, or decide to move in with your lover. Be careful of spending at this time as a tense Jupiter-Uranus aspect could throw a curveball at you. Read mortgage applications carefully as well as leases, buying/selling contracts, deals that you make with a building contractor and so on. Don’t go overboard with spending on a house, furniture or even your family (“you’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch!”). Sorry, but the cosmos is urging you to save money for a rainy day than to splurge on uber extravagant gifts for the kids and family unit.
They’ll get over it. Mighty Mars rolls into your sign on the 19th, turning you into a force of nature. If you can think it, you can do it, so start planning your resolutions for 2017 now. The Sun enters your house of deep wishes and dreams two days later, a super placement for planning. Get a vision board made up of the things you’d like to buy, the places you’d like to see and the kind of life you’d like to live.
There will be a strong emphasis on friends and enjoying life when the Sun changes signs on the 19th, and there will also be a new moon on the 29th in this part of your chart. You are spectacularly favored to meet a lot of interesting people, some of whom could be more than that down the road (lovers, perhaps?). Don’t forget that Mercury is retrograde in this part of the sky though, so you may need to weed out some “friends” who are really frenemies. It’s also possible that you’ll end up hearing from people whom you haven’t spoken to in years.
Your love life gets a passionate boost at Christmas time as some seriously sexy and deep aspects could bring in a soulmate. Now that’s a nice present to have under your tree! Attached Pisceans could enjoy some steamy boudoir activity for Christmas, and in the entire week that follows.
New Year’s Eve has your name written all over it Pisces! Lusty Mars and amorous Neptune meet up in your sign, making this evening one of terrific possibilities. Singles, you’ll be the girl or guy at the party with the most charisma. Coupled up Pisces folks can enjoy the evening with friends or cuddled up at home with their lover. 2017 starts with Mars, the go-getter of the zodiac, in your sign, and that’s a terrific omen.
