Monthly Career Astro Horoscope

Aries

While there has been no planetary activity in your work sector since Venus left in October, ending some active months that had begun with Mars' return in June and none in your career sector since January, things are about to change and in a way that makes sense of Uranus' return to your income sector last month. While this has left you with no planetary activity in either of your two professional houses the South Node, not a physical object but a force that, along with its partner the North Node can keep things balanced, has been quietly keeping things on track. The South Node has been here since January, during Uranus' final months in your income sector before after six years leaving in January and throughout all the most active months of the year on the job front. When Uranus retrograded back into your income sector to spend another six months here, they were able to reunite and already this is having a positive but subtle impact on income and job matters. However, both get a major shot in the arm while helping to contribute to what is destined to be an empowered end to your 2025 and start to your 2026 professional year. While the Sun's return to your career sector on 22nd December is the point in each year when on the December solstice the solar spotlight will always shift onto your career and professional situation, matters and options, things will not only kick off 10 days earlier but in a more dramatic way. It begins on 15th December, when Mars returns to your career sector for the first time in two years. For the next six weeks, Mars is going to fire up your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit while declaring war on roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. While the Sun will end and begin each year in your career sector, this year with the warrior planet of the cosmos on board along with Venus, who will return to bring the laws of attraction into play on 25th December and the asteroid Juno, with the queen of commitment returning for the first time in four years on 30th December. Meanwhile, helping to bring this professional year home will be the Moon's return to your work sector from 10th December to 12th December and to your career sector from 20th December to 23rd December.

Taurus

While December is set to be a quiet month professionally or at least a case of business as usual, it is the calm between some of the busiest months of the year which only ran their course last month and what is destined to be an even busier start to 2026. This is a chance to catch your breath and while this doesn't mean that life or the normal demands of the job won't keep you busy, what you don't have is the stars adding to this. Instead, after Venus not only left your work sector last month but ended continuous planetary activity on the job front that had begun with Mars' return in early August, there is a chance to take your foot off the gas and let things play out. With no more planetary activity in your work sector until the second half of 2026, as is normally the case, it is the Moon's monthly visits that will help to keep things on track. This makes it important to have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground when the Moon makes its last visit to your work sector for the year from 13th December to 15th December. As the Moon moves through, it will move into a friendly aspect to Pluto, who is just now coming to the end of a 20 year transit through your career sector, something it will continue to do every four weeks until the planet of change and transformation leaves in 2044. Meanwhile, while Pluto turned direct in October and this has taken the brakes off career matters, as a slower outer planet, he is taking his time when it comes to getting moving and is in no hurry. Instead, with the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus all returning to your career sector next month to get your 2026 professional year off to an empowered start, Pluto is keeping his foot off the brake, allowing you to bring this professional year home before starting on the next chapter. It is in the lead up to Christmas that the Moon will make its last visit to your career sector for the year and the last before Venus returns in January to get the ball rolling. This makes it important to once more have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground when it moves through from 23rd December to 25th December.

Gemini

While the Sun left your work sector last month and by then Mars and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment had already moved through, it is not until Mercury leaves on 12th December that all planetary activity on the job front for the year will run its course. Mercury had left at the end of October and normally it would be another year before he returned. This was always going to leave you with everything needed to keep your head in the game but three weeks later, a retrograde turns saw Mercury return for a double dip visit. By this point Venus, held back by a retrograde phase, was still at the back of the pack and only returned last month, with Mercury going back to help her out. This was a chance to put heart and mind on the same page and as the last planet to spend time in your work sector this year, work together to start bringing things home. Venus will leave on 1st December, leaving Mercury, the planet who has spent time with every planet that has moved through this year, the perfect planet to help you work smarter and get the most out of the final days of all planetary activity on the job front for the year. Like every planet that has moved through this year, Mercury is doing to spend his final days at a friendly aspect to lucky Jupiter, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your income sector and to Saturn and Neptune, as they prepare to leave your career sector. Both had left earlier in the year, only like Mercury has done on the job front, turn retrograde and come back to tie up loose ends. Saturn turned direct last month and Neptune will turn direct on 11th December. With Neptune leaving in January and Saturn in February, this is the beginning of the end of a journey that had begun even before Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams returned in 2012. The Moon will make its last visit for the year from 25th December to 27th December, leaving on the same day that Neptune moves into his final month in your career sector for another 150 years.

Cancer

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your work sector, the solar spotlight is always on your situation, matters and options at this time of year. This year is likely to be busier than most years and especially in the first half of the month, with Mars' last visit for another two years not ending until 15th December. Until leaving, Mars will have his foot on the gas, bringing you to the final weeks of what he will be working to make the busiest six weeks of the year. However, you also have the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment making her first visit in four years and as she had returned a month ahead of Mars, she is giving you a better sense of where to channel this. They will be joined by Venus, who held back by a retrograde phase earlier in the year will finally return on 1st December. Where Mars prefers to fight to make things happen, Venus prefers to use the laws of attraction to attract both opportunities and the money. While Mars will leave on 15th December, the Sun is here until 22nd December, Venus until 25th December, Juno until 30th December and Mercury, who after retrograding back out last month will return on 12th December, here until leaving in the New Year. This is giving you a dream team to bring things home on the job front, while when the Moon moves through from 18th December to 20th December it will be as a New Moon, giving everything the green light. While when Mercury leaves on 2nd January, this will bring all planetary activity on the job front to an end, waiting in the wings is planetary activity on the career front to take over. While there are three minor planets keeping the seat warm for when Neptune returns in January and Saturn in February, this gives you time to first bring things home on the job front. Helping to bring the two together will be starting the month with the Moon in your career sector, something that until leaving on 2nd December will ensure your professional instincts are sharp from the start, before coming full circle again from 27th December to 30th December.

Leo

While there will be a relatively quiet start to the month it won't stay that way, making it important to ease into the month, keeping your foot off the gas for as long as possible. While the Sun's return to your work sector on 22nd December is something that on the December solstice each year will always turn the solar spotlight onto your work situation, job matters and options, this is more about observing and while at any point Venus and Mercury can return with a chance to get heart and mind in the game and on the same page. The difference this year is Mars, with his return on 15th December a game changer. Mars isn't here to observe, with this first visit in two years all about making things happen, with his six week visit likely to make the final weeks of 2025 and the early weeks of 2026 the busiest in both years. Because Mars will be the first planet to return since the Sun and Mercury left in January, he will set the scene for the coming months. While for the last six years it has been a given to end the year with Uranus in your career sector, that nearly didn't happen when in July, having been here since 2019 he left. However, Uranus retrograded back in last month and while ending the year in retrograde motion, he has returned to provide a steady professional course. Because Uranus has retrograded back in and will remain in the final degrees of your career sector before leaving in April, it is not until just before the planets returning to your work sector this month leave that they will connect directly, something that will happen next month. This includes Venus, who will return on Christmas Day to give your heart a voice and bring the laws of attraction into play and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment, who will return for her first visit to your work sector in four years on 30th December. Meanwhile, the most important points in the month for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground will be when the Moon moves through your career sector from 2nd December to 4th December, when it returns again on 30th December and when it moves through your work sector from 20th December to 23rd December.

Virgo

While on the whole this will be a relatively steady month and something that will give you a chance to bring the year to an end on your terms, there will be one point in the month when it might feel like you are a passenger rather than in the driver's seat. That point will be when the Moon not only moves through your career sector from 4th December to 6th December, but with the last Full Moon of 2025 here on 5th December. A Full Moon can always be a wildcard and halfway between the Sun's last visit and the next, can be a catalyst for everything that has been building over the previous six months, bringing things to fruition and to a head, turning and/or tipping point. The difference this year is that it hasn't been six months since the last planet left your career sector. Instead, it will have been less than four weeks since Uranus not only left but ended nearly 18 months of near continuous planetary activity, including the first four months he had spent here in eight decades and Jupiter's 12 month quest for professional growth and expansion, which ended in June. There is a lot more for this Full Moon to act as a trigger for and the results of seeds that you may have dropped out on the way, that you aren't even aware have been quietly germinating. This is also a visit that will begin with a friendly aspect to Pluto, who in his last full month on his own in your work sector is quietly keeping things on track ahead of a busy start to 2026. The Moon will make its last visit to your work sector for the year from 23rd December to 25th December, giving you a chance to tie up any last minute loose ends and move through the days leading up to Christmas with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. This is also the Moon's last visit before a parade of planets starts returning to your work sector next month including Mars, who returning for the first time in two years is going to get 2026 off to a busy start.

Libra

While three of the most powerful planets in the solar system are in your two professional houses, all three end the year barely moving and seemingly in no hurry, but with a little more urgency on one front than the other. It is halfway through the month that Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion will reach the halfway point of his 12 month transit through your career sector and of what he is working to make your biggest year for professional growth and expansion in over a decade. This is also Jupiter's first full month in retrograde motion and having had to come to a standstill in order to turn retrograde, he will end the year barely moving. With Jupiter in retrograde motion until March and not leaving until June 2026, on the career front there is little if any urgency and instead, time to retrace your steps. At the same time, after turning direct in your work sector last month Saturn is barely moving while ahead of his direct turn here on 11th December Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams has come to a complete stop and even Mercury, who only turned direct in your income sector on 30th November, begins the month at a standstill. However, on the income and job fronts there is more urgency, though not when it comes to speed or any need to rush things and more when it comes to paying attention. For back in direct motion Saturn and Neptune are preparing to leave again, with Neptune leaving in January and then not returning for another 150 years, Saturn in February, not to return for another three decades, while Mercury's departure on 12th December will end all planetary activity on the income front for the year. This makes the Moon's transit through your career sector from 6th December to 8th December and through your work sector from 25th December to 27th December, some of the most important days of the month for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground.

Scorpio

With all planetary activity on the career front for the year having ended in September and the three planets in your work sector place holders for the major return of Saturn and Neptune, who retrograded back out over recent months, the professional year is coming to a fairly quiet and measured end. While the dwarf planet Ceres turned direct in your work sector last month and she is starting to both look to the future and move forward, she is not interested in making things happen or in bringing the year to a busy close. Instead, aware of the major developments on the job front in 2026, her focus is more on understanding your needs and priorities on the job front and especially when it comes to job satisfaction and a sense of purpose. Chiron, the planet of healing and the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior planet of the cosmos will remain in retrograde motion here for the rest of the year while along with Ceres, acting as support for the planets moving through your income sector. While a host of planets have come together to bring the year to a lucrative end and this is making this a positive month on the income and job fronts, it is the planets on the income front that are driving things. On the job front, the planets are focused more on getting things in order for next year, for they are the pit crew preparing for Neptune's return in January and Saturn's return in February. Once he returns in January Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams will be here for the next 13 years and Saturn, until April 2028, something that they laid the seeds for when they spent the middle months of 2025 here. Meanwhile, starting the month with the Moon in your work sector until 2nd December and then returning again from 27th December to 30th December, will make the early and the latter days of the month the most important for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. Meanwhile, there will be a chance to gain an overall sense of professional perspective when the Moon makes its last visit to your career sector for the year from 8th December to 10th December.

Sagittarius

While Uranus is spending his first full month back in your career sector and the South Node is keeping work and job matters on track, both will be happy to take things slowly and if anything, play support for the planets returning to make the final weeks of 2025 and the early weeks of 2026 the most lucrative of both years. Since the last planet left your career sector in September, the South Node, the force behind a series of eclipses this year, has quietly kept things on track by having guardrails in place that have alerted you when you have started to veer off course. At the same time, having left your work sector in July after six years here Uranus retrograded back in last month, where he will remain in retrograde motion for the rest of the year and not leaving until April, will spend six months tying up loose ends before leaving again, this time to not return for another eight decades. While this is providing a steady and stable foundation on the job and career fronts, with no pressure or urgency and instead. The most important points in the month and especially when it comes to having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, is when the Moon returns for its final visits to your two professional houses for the year. This will be especially so when the Moon moves through your work sector from 2nd December to 4th December, through your career sector from 10th December to 13th December and then returns to your work sector again on 30th December, where it will end the month. Meanwhile, the real value of having the South Node and Uranus there, providing that stable background on the job and career fronts will be when the planets start returning to your income sector, starting with Mars' return on 15th December.

Capricorn

While you will move into the final month of the year with no planets in either of your two professional houses, not only is that normally the case, but only recently. The most active months of any professional year centre around the Sun's month long visits to your work and career sectors, with the planets that travel with him keeping things active for a few weeks at most either side. For that reason, this usually makes May and June the most active months of any year on the job front and September and October the most active months on the career front. However, by the time you move into December, it has been just over three weeks since the last planet left both. It was only on 7th November that late to return to your career sector this year and Venus finally left, ending what Mars had gotten off to an early start in August while it was a day later that Uranus left your work sector, ending 18 months of near continuous planetary activity, including his first months here in eight decades and the 12 months Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion had spent here. Even if the Moon's return to your career sector from 4th December to 6th December was an ordinary monthly visit, there would be a lot for this to act as a trigger for but instead, as a Full Moon that will bring Pluto, still in your income sector into the mix, this could act as a catalyst or wildcard across the income, work and career fronts. The Moon was here when Uranus left your career sector and Venus your work sector last month, so it carries with it everything they left in its safekeeping. It is five days after leaving your work sector that the Moon will return for its last visit to your career sector for the year, something that in the heart of the month will sharpen your professional instincts and bring a chance to regroup professionally. Until Uranus returns in April to spend the next six years in your work sector, it is the Moon's monthly visits that will keep things on track and as you line up for what is destined to be a lucrative start to 2026.

Aquarius

It is in the early part of the month that the dynamics of the professional year not only shift but bring you to a point where you have everything needed to bring things home. Venus, the last planet to return to your career sector this year leaves on 1st December, something that should bring all planetary activity on the career front for the year to a close. The Sun, Mercury, Mars and the asteroid Juno, who all returned before Venus have all left, so there should be no more planets here. Instead, while Mercury did leave at the end of October, a retrograde turn saw him circle back and three weeks after leaving, return last month to both tie up loose ends and ensure Venus wasn't on her own. This was a chance to put heart and mind on the same page and with Mercury in retrograde motion, go back over old ground while still looking to the future. This put both at a friendly aspect to Jupiter, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your work sector and to Saturn and Neptune, who are in the process of turning direct and getting ready to leave your income sector. Mercury only turned direct on 30th November, so like Jupiter begins the month at a near standstill. However, unlike Jupiter, who will remain in retrograde motion until March and will end the month at a crawl, Mercury will leave on 12th December, the point when all planetary activity on the career front for the year will come to an end and there will be a chance to take your foot off the gas. This puts a lot more importance on the Moon's final visit to your two professional houses for the year, in both cases making it important to have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground as it brings things together and into focus across the income, work and career fronts. The first will be the Moon's return to your work sector from 6th December to 8th December, while Mercury is still in your career sector. The second will be during the Moon's return to your career sector from 15th December to 18th December, returning three days after Mercury leaves but connecting with the planets on the income and job fronts as it moves through.

Pisces

Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December in your career sector, it is a given that the solar spotlight will always be on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year. However, with some additional factors that could make December the defining month of this professional year, the month that brings home and together all the different threads from across the income, work and career fronts. While the last planet left your work sector in September, instead of ending what can be the busy middle months of the year, this brought home what began with Mars' return in November 2024. This began Mars' longest visit in decades and while usually moving swiftly through in six weeks, which he is doing now in your career sector, between November 2024 and June 2025, Mars had spent five out of seven months here, with other planets taking up the baton after he left. Now, it is Mars who is leading a parade of planets through your career sector and until leaving on 15th December, he will be focused on bringing home what he began over a year earlier. As always, no planet can move through your career sector without forming a friendly aspect to the planets in your income sector, something the Moon will do as well when it makes its last visit to your two professional houses for the year. While Mars will leave on 15th December, the Sun on 22nd December, Venus on 25th December and the asteroid Juno on 30th December Mercury, who had retrograded back out last month will return to your career sector on 12th December, where he will end the year. Meanwhile, the most important points in the month for having your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground and for being emotionally and intuitively engaged and aware will be when the Moon makes its last visit to your work sector for the year from 8th December to 10th December and its last to your career sector for the year from 18th December, the latter with a New Moon in its final hours giving everything the green light.
