Aquarius, December 2024 is set to be a month of introspection, revision, and personal growth. With Mars going retrograde in Leo, your opposite seventh house, on December 7, you’ll be reviewing your one-on-one connections—be they intimate, business, or even open enemies. This transit is a chance to reassess your approach to relationships and make necessary changes. Be prepared to confront and manage any pent-up frustration or anger. Remember, it’s about constructive action, not destructive reaction. Keep a look out for my blog on this transit coming out early December.
During this retrograde period, view any conflicts in your primary relationships as opportunities for growth and healing. Instead of reacting to frustrations or miscommunications, choose to respond proactively. Address old wounds and past disagreements with a collaborative spirit, rather than taking things personally. This is your chance to smooth out rough patches and mend bruised egos.
By meeting issues head-on and making conscious decisions about the next steps, you’ll be ready to move forward together when Mars turns direct in Febuary. Remember, it’s your response that shapes the outcome. So, embrace this time as a positive turning point, where you can strengthen your connections and set a new, more harmonious course for your relationships.

Use this time to review your relationships, both personal and professional, and identify areas where you can improve communication and understanding. Set aside dedicated time each day for self-reflection. This could be through journaling, meditation, or simply taking a quiet walk.
Reflect on your social circle and consider whether it aligns with your authentic self. Make a list of the people and groups you spend time with and assess whether they support your personal growth and values. Be open to making adjustments if necessary.
Simultaneously, Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, your eleventh house, from November 26 to December 16. This period will have you reevaluating your social circle, friendships, work networks, and community involvement. You may find that your personal truth and perspective need some readjustment. It’s a time to reflect on whether your social life aligns with your authentic self. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion.
The dynamic interplay of these cosmic influences, will merge to create a unique opportunity for personal growth and relationship recalibration for you Aquarius. Together, these transits facilitate a comprehensive review of your relationships, both intimate and platonic, helping you to ensure that your social life as a whole is aligned with your authentic self and life direction. This merged influence allows you to address any underlying frustrations or misalignments in your connections with others, fostering a more cohesive and true-to-you social environment.
On the bright side, Venus moves into your sign, also on December 7, giving you a cosmic boost. Expect to feel more attractive, beautiful, and appealing. People will be drawn to you, wanting to know you and be around you. The charisma that comes with this transit is an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing bonds and forge new connections.
The overlapping retrogrades of Mars and Mercury signal a personal overhaul as you head into the new year. However, this is just the beginning of a six-month internal decluttering and makeover process.
Looking ahead, Mars will complete its retrograde in Cancer on February 24, 2025, and soon after, on March 2, Venus will move retrograde in Aries, overlapping with another Mercury retrograde in the same sign. The transformative journey you’re embarking on this December will set the stage for the personal evolution that will unfold over the next six months and is preparing you for a progressive year next year. This is all happening in preparation for significant cycle changes in 2025, with Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter all changing signs. Our lives will be very different by the end of next year.
To create meaningful, positive change in your external world, you must first make meaningful, positive changes to your inner reality. To live a different life, you must first become the person who embodies that life internally. Embrace the deep, introspective work offered by the four upcoming retrogrades between now and April’s end. The more intentional you are about this internal growth, the more profound and beneficial the outcomes will be, especially in light of the significant transits slated for later in 2025.
For now, remember Aquarius, this month is about reviewing, reassessing, and realigning. Embrace the opportunities for growth and change. You’re not just preparing for a new year but also for a new chapter in your life. Stay true to yourself and keep your eyes on the horizon.
Happy Holidays!
I am becoming the person who embodies the life I desire, and I surround myself with like-minded people.
