Virgo December 2024
Virgo, December 2024 is set to be a month of introspection, reassessment, and personal growth. With Mars going retrograde in Leo, your twelfth house, on December 7, and your ruling planet Mercury already in retrograde in Sagittarius, your fourth house, since November 26, you’re in for a personal overhaul as you prepare to enter the new year.
The Mars Retrograde in Leo (Dec 7, 2024 – Jan 6, 2025) is encouraging you to turn inward and review your spiritual practices, creative pursuits, and private life. You may feel a strong urge to retreat and recharge, so don’t hesitate to take some time for yourself. This is an excellent period to reevaluate your approach to spirituality and inner growth, address any lingering frustrations or anger in your subconscious, explore your inner programming and revise your creative endeavours to find new inspiration. Keep a look out for my blog on this transit coming out early December.
During the Mars retrograde, instead of feeling scattered, consider it an opportunity for profound personal growth and channel your energy into introspection. Welcome any surfacing emotions, such as anger or frustration, as chances for healing. By acknowledging and processing these feelings, you’re actively transforming and resolving past issues. To combat sleep disturbances, establish a calming bedtime routine and keep a dream journal to interpret subconscious messages.

Use this energy to turn inward and review your spiritual practices and creative pursuits. Take time for yourself to recharge and reflect on your inner growth. Set aside a specific time each day for meditation or journaling to explore your inner programming and address any lingering frustrations or anger.
Pay attention to what surfaces and ‘be with’ your emotions – feel, validate and bless each one.
Tackle self-doubt by setting clear boundaries and standards for yourself and others. Create a plan to boost your confidence, such as daily affirmations, seeking support from mentors, or engaging in activities that reinforce your strengths.
- Reflect on childhood patterns and gain a new perspective on your personal truths. Have open and honest conversations with family members to create more emotional security and understanding.
There is a good chance that self-doubt may arise during this time. Tackle this, by setting clear boundaries and standards for yourself and others. Be proactive by creating a plan to boost your confidence and achieve your goals. This could involve daily affirmations, seeking support from mentors, or engaging in activities that reinforce your strengths.
With Mercury retrograde in your fourth house, you’re currently reviewing your home life, family dynamics, and emotional security. This transit may be dredging up childhood patterns, offering you a chance to reflect on your personal truths and gain a new perspective. You can read more about this transit in my blog: Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius: A Journey of Truth and Expansion.
This is an ideal time to examine your emotional foundations and sense of belonging. Address any lingering misunderstandings or unresolved issues within your family or household. Consider conversations with family members that can create more emotional security or revamping your living space to better nurture your emotional well-being. Embrace this opportunity to reassess and reorganize, turning your home into a sanctuary that truly supports you.
These two retrogrades collaborate to create a potent environment for healing and exploring your inner realm. Mars retrograde encourages introspection and addressing subconscious frustrations, while Mercury retrograde brings up childhood patterns and emotional security issues. Together, these transits offer a unique opportunity to reconcile past emotions and experiences that have shaped your sense of self and belonging. By tending to both your inner spiritual and emotional landscapes, you can effectively process and release long-held feelings, reevaluate your personal truths, and rebuild your emotional foundations. This merged influence supports you in transforming your home and inner world into sanctuaries of growth, understanding, and healing.
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 is an ideal time to retreat, recharge, and prepare for the major astrological shifts happening in 2025, with Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter all changing signs.
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.
Remember, Virgo, that retrogrades offer an opportunity for reflection, reassessment, and realignment. Embrace this time to review and revise your approach to life, so you can move forward with renewed clarity and purpose.
Happy Holidays!
With each breath, I release past emotions and rebuild my emotional foundations, creating a sanctuary of growth, understanding, and healing within myself.
