This is such a busy time of year for you—especially in your career and your public life, Pisces—but complicating things is Mercury retrograde, which reenters fellow water sign Scorpio on December 1. This will be especially annoying if you’re in school, traveling, or trying to publish something, due to miscommunications and delays. Don’t fret too long, though: Mercury ends its retrograde on December 6, and when it reenters Sagittarius on December 12, you'll find yourself receiving plenty of news about your public and professional life, and things will feel like they're moving again.

On December 2, sweet Venus reenters sexy Scorpio after a long autumn of retrogrades, bringing up some deep, philosophical conversations in your partnerships—but remember that Mercury will still be retrograde at this time, so we need extra time to think things through. Retrograde or not, you’re ready to move, especially on December 2, when the sun squares off with action planet Mars, which is currently in your sign. You’re feeling eager to tackle your goals—but even though you might get a lot accomplished (or even though you're able to exert your dominance in a situation), remember that timing is a bit funky right now. Especially with the sun squaring off with your ruling planet Neptune on December 5. If you can take off from work that day, you should, because you're going to feel especially lazy. Your head is in the clouds, and you might even run into some very confusing situations. Your energy is better spent resting up than trying to make things happen in this haze.The new moon in visionary fire sign Sagittarius arrives on December 7, starting a new cycle around career and popularity in your life, Pisces! Your imagination is one of your strongest assets, and this new moon is a hugely powerful time for manifestation. Again, you might feel really frustrated that things aren’t happening at the pace you want them to, but please remember that new moons are indeed new! The seeds you’re planting now need time to grow. You’re usually not so impatient, but between Mercury retrograde and Mars occupying your sign and lighting a fire under your butt, you’re feeling antsy. You would be wise not to race anywhere, especially with foggy Neptune’s influence clouding the view.
