Money's been burning a hole in your pocket since Mars entered Capricorn on December 15th. Moreover challenging aspects involving Saturn and Neptune only showed expenses snowballing. Yet this is more about bad timing than it is mismanagement. Either you're still waiting on a promised payment to come through or you got hit with a bunch of bills all at the same time. Thankfully Venus enters the sign of the goat on December 24th. It won't take the sting out of what you owe, but it will help to wrap things up quickly so that you're no longer doling out cash like a stoker feeding the furnace.
