Scorpio, brace yourself for a month of introspection and transformation! December 2024 is set to be a significant period for you, with Mars, your ruling planet, turning retrograde in Leo on December 7. This event, which occurs only every 18 months, will ignite a personal overhaul as you prepare for the new year. Keep a look out for my blog on this transit coming out early December.
With Mars retrograde in your tenth house, you’ll be reviewing your career, life blueprint, and reputation. This is a time to reassess your approach to goals and authority. You may feel frustrated or angry about past decisions, but remember, this is an opportunity to change old ways and redirect your course of action. Ask yourself: Are you pursuing your true passions? Is your current path aligned with your authentic self?
Any challenges you face in your career are an opportunity for growth and realignment. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or reacting to conflicts, proactively use this time to reflect and strategize. Focus on the bare minimum in tasks, but maximize your efforts in research and planning. If you encounter difficulties asserting your authority or feel the urge to withdraw, redirect that energy into introspection.
This is a chance to reassess your career path and ensure it aligns with your true aspirations. Once Mars moves direct in February, your proactive responses will pay off. Confidently showcase your self-assurance, and you’ll attract significant opportunities. Embrace this period as a positive turning point, setting you up for success in the new year.
Dive into my comprehensive guide on the co-creative power of Mercury Retrogrades to learn how to navigate this energy deliberately and constructively.
Engage in my guided practice to co-create with the Mercury Retrograde.
Journal about your career goals, past decisions, and any frustrations you may have. Write down your true passions and aspirations, and reflect on whether your current path aligns with your authentic self.
Assess your spending habits, savings, and investments to ensure they align with your values and future goals. Create a detailed financial plan, including a budget, savings goals, and investment strategies.
Make a list of your professional goals and compare them to your current situation. Identify any gaps and brainstorm ways to bridge them. This could involve seeking new opportunities, acquiring new skills, or changing your approach to work.
Simultaneously, Mercury will be retrograde in Sagittarius, activating your second house. This retrograde is demanding a thorough review of your finances, income, and assets. Explore your thoughts and habits around wealth, worth, and values. It’s time to readjust your personal truth and perspective on these matters. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion.
This dual retrograde review invites you to examine how your professional goals and public image intersect with your financial stability and value systems. You might find that your current career path isn’t aligning with your financial needs or personal values, leading to feelings of frustration. However, this is a prime opportunity to revise your approach to both areas.
Consider whether your career is fulfilling your passions and if your income supports the life you truly desire. By reflecting on these interconnected aspects, you can make necessary adjustments to ensure that your professional pursuits and financial habits better align with your authentic self and core values.
This process is part of a larger internal decluttering and makeover that will unfold over the next six months. Looking ahead, Mars will complete its retrograde in Cancer on February 24, 2025, and soon after (on March 2), Venus will go retrograde in Aries. You’ll be preparing for significant cycle changes in 2025, with Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter all changing signs. Our lives will not be the same 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, focus on the tasks at hand. Reassess your career path and make necessary changes. Review your financial situation and adjust your mindset around value and worth. Reflect on any repressed anger or frustration and find healthy ways to express and release them.
Remember, Scorpio, you’re a master of transformation. Embrace this process, and you’ll enter 2025 with a renewed sense of purpose and power.
Happy Holidays!
I allow myself to reassess and realign my career and financial goals with my authentic self.
