Taurus December 2024
December 2024 is shaping up to be a pivotal month, dear Taurus. With Mars going retrograde in Leo on December 7, and Mercury already retrograde in Sagittarius from November 26 to December 16, you’re in for a significant period of introspection and transformation. This dual retrograde energy is a rare occurrence, with a Mars Retrograde happening only every 18 months, and it’s set to bring about a personal overhaul as you head into the new year.
Mars retrograde in Leo, which falls in your fourth house of home, family, and emotional security, is a time for reviewing your course of action and making necessary changes to old ways of doing things. This retrograde period will encourage you to revisit and reassess your emotional foundations and general state of being. It’s a time to address any childhood wounds, particularly those related to frustration and anger. Look out for my blog on this transit being release early December.
During this Mars retrograde period, you have a unique opportunity to build a stronger, more secure emotional base. By recognizing resistance as a lack of alignment between your emotions, thoughts, and desires, you can use any negative emotions as guidance to make proactive choices. Look out for my blog on this transit being release early December.
Manifestation Tips this month:
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.
Set aside dedicated time each day for quiet reflection and journaling. Use this time to explore your emotions, thoughts, and desires. Write down any recurring themes or patterns that emerge during this period. Create a cozy, comfortable space in your home specifically for this introspective work. Light a candle, play soft music, and make it a sacred ritual.
Identify any unresolved emotional issues from your past, particularly those related to family and childhood. Acknowledge these wounds and commit to healing them.
- Engage in activities that bring you joy and remind you of your childhood. This could be anything from painting to playing a favorite game. Set aside a “playtime” each week where you do something purely for fun and enjoyment, without any expectations or goals.
Focus on understanding your priorities and the reasons behind your goals—this will empower you to push through obstacles and excuses. Embrace the chance to heal past traumas, whether from childhood or recent events, and address any issues with your parents or events that challenge your security. By proactively working on healing old wounds, making peace with the past, and nurturing your inner child, you can create more fulfilling and satisfying connections and relationships. Plan your course of action thoughtfully, and you will be rewarded with personal growth and deeper emotional well-being.
At the same time, Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius, which affects your eighth house of deep-seated fears, vulnerabilities, and intimacies. This will prompt a deep dive quest for truth and wisdom. This period is about confronting your fears and reevaluating your perspectives on intimacy and vulnerability, possibly stemming from childhood programming that is being highlighted by Mars. Your own personal truth and perspective may need a readjustment, and this retrograde will provide the clarity and insight necessary for this transformation. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion.
These two transits are merging to create a powerful synergy, where the emotional reassessment triggered by the Mars retrograde dovetails with the quest for truth and wisdom initiated by the Mercury retrograde. This combined influence encourages you to address and heal past emotional injuries, while also gaining clarity and insight into your fears and intimacy issues. By addressing these interconnected aspects, you can transform your emotional foundations and cultivate a more secure and authentic sense of self. What better time to do this work than the holiday season, hey Taurus?!
Looking ahead, as Mars moves back into Cancer on January 6 and remains retrograde until February 24, you will continue to address emotional and familial matters. Shortly after, on March 2, Venus will move retrograde in Aries, overlapping with a Mercury retrograde in Aries as well. This will further deepen your introspective journey.
The overlapping retrogrades of Mars and Mercury are just the beginning of a larger cycle of internal decluttering and makeover. Over the next six months, you will undergo a total internal transformation to prepare for the significant astrological shifts happening in 2025. Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter will all be changing signs next year, marking the end of old cycles and the beginning of new ones. This preparation phase is crucial for aligning yourself with the upcoming changes.
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.
Embrace this period of introspection and transformation, Taurus. It’s a unique opportunity to lay a strong foundation for the new cycles and changes ahead.
Happy Holidays!
With each breath, I cultivate a stronger emotional foundation, aligning my thoughts, emotions, and desires. I am worthy of deep emotional wellbeing and fulfilling connections.
