ARIES December 2024
Buckle up, Aries, because December 2024 is a month of profound introspection and transformation! With your ruling planet Mars is going retrograde in Leo on December 7, and Mercury is already retrograde in Sagittarius, you’re in for a personal overhaul as you prepare to close out the year.
Mars Retrograde in your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression is an opportune time to reconnect with your deepest passions and the emotions of joy and pleasure. This transit is a cosmic invitation to reassess your heart’s true desires and the pursuits that ignite your soul. As Mars retrogrades in the fiery sign of Leo, expect to be reviewing your enthusiasm towards creative expression and social activities that resonate with your authentic self. Look out for my blog on this transit being released in early December.
During this period, you may experience intensified frustrations and ego-driven impulses, but remember to channel this energy into productive pursuits and creative transformations. Instead of feeling stifled by potential obstacles, embrace this time as an opportunity for reflection and refinement. Pause and reassess your approach to creative endeavours, romantic pursuits, social connections and even your children. By focusing on what truly brings you joy and pleasure, you can conserve your energy and eliminate obligations that no longer serve you.
This transit is your chance to align with your soul purpose and let your unique voice shine. Engage in thoughtful planning and introspection, and consider the social activities and creative expressions that truly resonate with your heart. As you realign with your authentic self, you’ll find that your relationships and creative ventures will become more meaningful and fulfilling. Use this period to fine-tune your artistic vision and prepare for the road ahead.

Spend time reflecting on what truly brings you joy and pleasure. Make a list of activities, hobbies, or creative pursuits that you’ve always loved but may have neglected. Set aside dedicated time each week to engage in these activities, even if it’s just for a short period.
Take a step back from your creative projects and reassess your approach. Consider what truly resonates with your heart and soul. Engage in thoughtful planning and introspection. Visualize the end result of your creative endeavors and how they make you feel.
Review your social connections and romantic pursuits. Focus on the relationships that bring you genuine joy and fulfillment. Eliminate obligations that no longer serve you. Spend quality time with people who uplift and inspire you.
Inner child work will be important over the next few months. Heal your heart, release old wounds, and reconnect with the joy and playfulness of your younger self.
When Mars turns direct in February, you’ll be ready to move forward with renewed clarity, energy, and the full support of the cosmos behind you. The emotions of joy and pleasure are your compass during this transit, guiding you towards the passions and pursuits that truly ignite your soul. By embracing this period of introspection and refinement, you’ll emerge with a deeper understanding of your heart’s genuine desires and the creative expression that sets your spirit ablaze.
At the same time, Mercury is retrograde in your ninth house (Nov. 26 – Dec 16) and is encouraging you to reflect on your beliefs, philosophies, worldviews and personal truth. This transit has you embarking on a quest for truth, questioning your existing beliefs and seeking deeper wisdom. This is an opportunity to re-evaluate your perspective and ensure it aligns with your true self and your true soul desires that are being highlighted by Mars. Be open to readjusting your views and embracing new ideas, as this time is about finding your personal truth and integrating it into your life. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion.
The merger between these two retrogrades invites you to explore how your core values and philosophies intersect with your deepest desires and forms of self-expression this month. It’s a time to question whether your actions and passions align with your beliefs, and vice versa. You may find that your evolving worldviews influence your approach to creativity and romance, or that your rekindled passions challenge and reshape your personal philosophies. By embracing this period of introspection and adjustment, you can achieve a greater sense of authenticity and harmony between your beliefs and your actions, allowing your true self to shine through in both your personal pursuits and your worldview.
The overlapping retrogrades of Mars and Mercury are setting the stage for a significant internal decluttering and makeover. This process will continue well into 2025, with Mars remaining retrograde until February 24 and Venus going retrograde in your very own sign and first house, Aries, on March 2, overlapping with another Mercury retrograde in Aries also. This will be a very personal overhaul for you and it is preparing you for a year of major new life cycles as Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter change signs 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.
December 2024 is a pivotal month for you, Aries. Embrace the journey of self-discovery and transformation, and prepare for an exciting new chapter ahead!
Happy Holidays!
I allow my true passions and authentic self to guide me towards a fulfilling and meaningful life. I am open to new perspectives and ready to align my actions with my deepest desires and beliefs.
