or another requires extra work and long
hours, so even if a day job is part of that,

When MERCURY is retrograde
in motion, messages and other com–
munications can be delayed, and travel
plans often need to be altered on short
notice, causing no end of frustration.
It’s all right to make such plans during
Mercury retrograde, but you should be

Month by Month
November—In the Mars section above,
we weren’t just kidding when we said you
need to start this forecast year by knowing
where you are going, and to underline that
we point to the busy and forward-looking
nature of this month as the Sun and planets
shift positions among the signs. You will

in order to move forward, Mercury direct
and Venus in your solar 3rd are sharpening
your communication skills , and even
fuzzy old Neptune is going direct at just
the right time to give you powerful ideas

life.
December—Take a good look at what
is going on in your solar 3rd, which is
graced by Jupiter right on the second day,
followed later in the month by the Sun and
then Mercury. Though this house can be
related to simple things like day trips or a
continuing education class or two, it helps

life, Jupiter here sets the scene for you to
present those thoughts to others in order to
solicit their support.

Venus enters what might facetiously be

As with Jupiter, Mars can give you the
personal strength to meet with others to
promote your ideas and plans, but the two
of these together can make you impatient
when people don’t just fall into line with
what you want to do. If you can avoid the
notion that you have all the answers, then
you can answer all the questions that come
your way
