General for Week Commencing: Monday 08 December 2025

	Aries	Monday 08 December 2025	Mar 21 - Apr 19
While moving into the new working week, you might find it hard to keep your work hat on, not starting to get into the groove until midweek and even then half heartedly, this is something that even the professional gods will be urging you to lean into. Helping to power up the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence is the Moon’s return for its last visit to a playful and creative part of your chart for the year on Monday, just as Mars moves into his final seven days in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery for another two years. As Mars will also begin the week aligned with the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in Aries, just as this is already adding fuel to a passion for adventure. However, while the adventurous side of life’s fence will remain pumped up when the Moon returns for its last visit to your work sector for the year, by this stage, Mars will be five days away from his return to your career sector next Monday and the beginning of what will be a busy end to 2025 and start to 2026. This gives you time to put guardrails in place.

	Taurus	Monday 08 December 2025	Apr 20 - May 20
It is just as Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos moves into his final seven days in your financial sector that his friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart peaks. This is just the first of four times that planets on both fronts will come together this week, with even the Moon getting involved in the early part of the week. Knowing that when he leaves next Monday it will be another two years before he returns, Mars will be using this to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit. At the same time, as Mercury, the planet of communication not only prepares to leave your relationship sector on Friday but end all planetary activity on the relationship front for the year, he has just as much support. While the Moon will leave and wrap up its last visit to your communication sector for the year on Monday, not before spending its final hours aligned with Jupiter here and at a friendly aspect to Mercury, just as they are separating from a friendly aspect that just peaked on Sunday. With Jupiter staying on, this is a chance to ensure your relationships remain in the s

	Gemini	Monday 08 December 2025	May 21 - Jun 21
On two different sides of life’s fence, the week is getting off to an empowered start, and the Moon is helping with both. While the Moon will leave your income sector on Monday, as well as a chance to start the week with your nose for money sharp from the start, before leaving it will spend its final hours aligned with lucky Jupiter here, at a friendly aspect to Mercury in your work sector and to both planets in your career sector. With Mercury leaving on Friday and wrapping up all planetary activity on the job front for the year, but Neptune’s direct turn on Thursday taking the brakes off career matters, this will help you navigate some pivotal days on the income, work and career fronts with your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground. Meanwhile, the Moon will not only return for its last visit to your communication sector for the year on Monday, but just as Mars moves into his last full week in your relationship sector for another two years.

	Cancer	Monday 08 December 2025	Jun 22 - Jul 22
It is not just at the start of the week that the stars will be sending mixed messages, with both sides of the financial fence powering up at the same time, but with the Moon helping to energise both sides and help you juggle the two. Before leaving Cancer and wrapping up its last visit to your sign for the year, the Moon will spend its final hours at a friendly aspect to Mercury in a playful and creative part of your chart and to Neptune and Saturn in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery. With Mercury leaving and ending all planetary activity on the playful and creative side of life’s fence on Friday, a day before Neptune ends his final days in retrograde motion in an adventurous part of your chart for another 150 years, this is giving you everything needed to embrace both. It is then that the Moon will not only return for its last visit to your income sector for the year, but just as on Monday, there is a major powering up on the job and career fronts that will continue all week.

	Leo	Monday 08 December 2025	Jul 23 - Aug 22
If before returning to your work sector next Monday to begin what will be some of the busiest weeks of both 2025 and 2026, Mars is intending to make his last week in a playful and creative part of your chart his last hurrah, then he is succeeding with flying colours. At the same time that Mars moves into his final seven days here on Monday, his friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris, the warrior princess of the cosmos in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery will peak. This is the first of four times that planets on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence will team up this week, but it is the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos that will get the ball rolling. While things will take a busier turn next week and that will be good news on the income, work and career fronts, though with less gusto, there will be planets staying on to keep the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence active. It is while you have Mars’ drive and motivation that this is the ideal week to put work/life balance guardrails in place.

	Virgo	Monday 08 December 2025	Aug 23 - Sep 22
For the third time in just six weeks, as Mercury, the planet of communication moves into his final days in your communication sector, he is separating from a friendly aspect to Jupiter in your financial sector while starting the week at a friendly aspect to Saturn in your relationship sector. This is the third time for both and with Mercury not only leaving your communication sector on Friday but all ending planetary activity for the year, the timing couldn’t be better. However, what won’t be a repeat is Mercury’s friendly aspect to Neptune just before leaving, for when he turned around and retrograded back out last month, it was before they could connect. With Neptune turning direct on Thursday, this will be in time to offer a chance to give your relationships, the past and unsaid words a voice. Meanwhile, as Mars moves into his final seven days in your home and family sector on Monday, he is fired up and ready to make things happen and get things done.

	Libra	Monday 08 December 2025	Sep 23 - Oct 23
By the time you move into the new week it has been a month to the day since Uranus retrograded back into your financial sector, ending the honeymoon for the planets on the other side of the financial fence, who were enjoying their first transit through your income sector in six years without competition from the income side of the financial fence. While Mars had already moved through your income sector by the time Uranus returned and didn’t have to compete, both the Sun and Venus clashed before leaving your income sector last month and Mercury will do the same before leaving on Friday, ending all planetary activity on the income side of the financial fence for the year. Fortunately, before then, Mercury has some serious support from the planets on the job and career fronts, who will continue to keep income potential alive, something that will be a win/win for both sides of the financial fence.

	Scorpio	Monday 08 December 2025	Oct 24 - Nov 21
The Moon’s last visit to your career sector for the year was always going to be an important chance to check in and get your professional bearings, however, its return on Monday is more than just a chance to move into the new working week with your professional instincts sharp, finger on the pulse and ear to the ground from the start. Instead, this will not only see the Moon return just as Mars moves into his final seven days in your income sector, but just as his friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris in your work sector is already getting the week off to an empowered start on the income and job fronts. This is just the first of four times this week that planets on the income and job fronts will team up, but it is the warrior prince and princess of the cosmos that not only kick things off, but just as the Moon is sharpening your professional instincts. Meanwhile, there is some serious competition from the planets on the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence that is helping to keep things balanced.

	Sagittarius	Monday 08 December 2025	Nov 22 - Dec 21
Knowing that when he leaves Sagittarius next Monday it will be another two years before he returns Mars, the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos was always going to be looking for something to channel his passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit into. While Mars will leave next Monday, by then your birthday month will still have another week to run, Venus is here until Christmas day and Mercury, who will return on Friday with a chance to get your head in the game and the communication lines open, will be here for the rest of the year. This frees you from having to worry too much about the follow through or the when, where and how and instead, throwing yourself into the things that you are passionate about without too much thought to where this might lead. In the first half of the week in particular, there will be a heavy lean towards the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence. This might conflict with the demands of the working week, but with a chance to work on your bucket list for the year ahead.

	Capricorn	Monday 08 December 2025	Dec 22 - Jan 19
At the same time that you are moving into the new working week, you are also moving into the final seven days of your current two year Mars cycle and at the halfway point in the month long wind down of your old solar year, you might have little gas in your tank or wind in your sails, something that is encouraging you to cruise in the slow lane when you can. Rather than something to fight, this is something to lean into, for the tanks that Mars filled when he last moved through Capricorn in 2023 have all but run dry. However, with Mars returning to Capricorn next Monday to spend the next six weeks filling them up again, that is getting ready to change, with little time then to rest on your laurels. While you can, make the most of this week’s slower pace, for it won’t last. At the same time, by opting out of the rat race, you will have more time to embrace what is an important week on the communication, social and relationship fronts.

	Aquarius	Monday 08 December 2025	Jan 20 - Feb 18
The week gets off to a powerful start on two different fronts and while they are not in competition with each other, having the right work/life balance will give you a better chance to take advantage of both. While it is the Moon’s return for its last visit to your relationship sector for the year on Monday that is partly responsible for getting the week off to a powerful and positive start on the communication, social and relationship fronts, it comes just as the planets in your communication and friendship sectors are already coming together. Over the course of the week, they will team up four times, but with the Moon only in your relationship sector until Wednesday. In the meantime, before returning to your relationship sector on Monday, the Moon will not only start the week in your work sector but will spend its final hours connected to every planet on the income, work and career fronts including Mercury, whose departure from your career sector on Friday will end all planetary activity on the career front for the year. Until then, he will continue to work with the planets on the income and job fronts.

	Pisces	Monday 08 December 2025	Feb 19 - Mar 20
There are not only some mixed messages from the stars this week, but the Moon is both amplifying this and helping you to navigate both sides of life’s fence and juggle the two. Before leaving and wrapping up its last visit to a playful and creative part of your chart for the year, it will not only spend its final hours aligned with Jupiter here but a friendly aspect to Mercury, whose departure from an adventurous part of your chart on Friday will end all planetary activity here for the year. With Jupiter and Mercury still separating from a friendly aspect over the weekend, even when the Moon leaves the playful, creative and adventurous side of life’s fence will continue to power up. At the same time, this will not only see the Moon return for its last visit to your work sector for the year, but as moving into his final seven days in your career sector on Monday, Mars’ friendly aspect to the dwarf planet Eris in your income sector peaks. This is the first of four times this week that planets on the income and career fronts will team up, with the Moon connecting with every one of them before leaving your work sector on Wednesday.
