It looks like you and the other party will be sitting back down at the negotiating table after all on January 15th. The past few weeks haven't been easy, as you repeatedly locked horns, fired off ultimatums, and retreated to your separate corners in a huff. In truth, neither of you was being particularly cooperative. You were both equally demanding and equally stubborn about not giving an inch. Thankfully, changes in planetary dispositions will allow you to reassess what's at stake. The main takeaway is that you're better off together than you are apart, and it's only by joining forces that you'll achieve your goals.

“Cazimi” is the word astrologers use to describe a planet when it is in the heart of the Sun. A cazimi intensifies the power of the planet and that's exactly what will happen to your ruler Venus on January 6th. This is the perfect time to cozy up to someone you've been courting romantically or professionally. Not only will this person give you what you want, they may even deliver more than you asked for or increase their offer – as long as you let them do the talking. Follow their lead and you're good; get out ahead and push for more and you break the spell.

You'll be surprised when a rival, opponent, or in-law who's always had it in for you decides to do you a good turn instead. You'd love to believe that they've gotten into the spirit of the Season, but you already know how unlikely that is. So is it all right to accept this goodwill gesture? Or is it a setup like when Lucy promises to hold the football for Charlie Brown? In truth you have the Moon/Venus sextile on December 24th to thank for this unexpected favor. Be grateful for it and move on because chances are you'll never find out why they did it.

We all draw from a variety of resources in life – be they financial, emotional, or spiritual. These are the reserves we cultivate and nurture with care. Right now your Ruling Planet Venus is traveling through that part of your solar chart that pertains to human resources and a challenging aspect to Saturn on December 21st asks if you have shown the same kind of attention to this area of your life as you have to the others? This would be a good day to repay favors, honor pledges, and even make a lunch date to touch base. It’s worth the investment of time and energy.

Pick a side because trying to have it both ways is driving you crazy. On one hand you want to stay put because of financial security. It's nice to sleep soundly at night knowing where your next paycheck is coming from yet continuing in a situation that's draining you dry won't deliver the pay-off you desire. It's like spending money on something you don't really want but think you should have. There are no easy answers when Mercury opposes Uranus on December 10th, but that doesn't mean the answers aren't there. Choose the solution you think is the most improbable because it's probably the right one.

December 2d, 6th, and 7th are potentially lucrative days for you. In fact these could wind up being the most profitable days of 2025. If you don’t have an enterprise to launch or a high stakes deal to seal then it would be a good idea to go out and find one because your moneymaking energies are operating at an all-time high. Just about anything you touch will turn to gold. You may not see the results right away because of Saturn playing such a pivotal role in the grand water trine, but that’s OK. Whatever you purchase or invest in will eventually yield enormous returns.

You'll be sorely tempted to say “I told you so” when Venus conjoins retrograde Mercury on November 24th, but don't. This person is already humbled – as their retreat with tail tucked between their legs attests. What they need is comfort and reassurance. Virgos tend to reprimand at times like these and Capricorns lecture, which means that of all the earth signs yours is the only one that understands how support – when someone's feeling down – earns their gratitude and with that gratitude comes a willingness to do things your way. It takes a little time for people to get it but it's time well spent.

Retrograde Uranus back in Taurus sextile retrograde Neptune back in Pisces on November 20th gets you to revisit a decision you made in August. Months ago you were all about jettisoning things from your life that you felt were unnecessary. These could have been people, things, or even a favorite pastime. There was probably good reason for it at the time but recently you've begun to really miss this in your life – and may even feel incomplete without it. You'll probably have to swallow your pride and apologize or even pay a hefty fee, but it's a small price for retrieving something of great value.

You’re a lover not a fighter even if you sometimes come across as gruff and blustery. Actually the only thing that makes you see red is when people try to horn in on your turf. This is when you will charge forward to defend your territory. Thankfully ameliorating sextiles involving the Moon, Venus, Sun, and Jupiter on November 13th and 14th show certain aggressive types rethinking their approach and making the switch from red flags to white ones. This is more a truce than a surrender so don't expect them to give up their claims, however they are open to discussing arrangements for a peaceful coexistence.

What you see is rarely what you get when Venus is in Scorpio (November 6th – 30th). There's no doubt that the love interests you attract will be compelling. They'll probably be well put together, wickedly sexy, and make good money. It's what they bring to the table that could prove to be the problem. Maybe it's a crazy Ex, boomerang kids who boomerang in but don't boomerang out, or a heavy family obligation. It's fair to say that everyone comes with some amount of emotional baggage, but you need to decide if theirs is carry-on or if it should be checked at the gate.
