December 2-8, 2024 promises to be a difficult period for many signs of the Zodiac, as Mercury retrograde continues to operate in the sky, and from December 5 to February 25, Mars retrograde will begin. These astrological phenomena can lead to delays, misunderstandings and even conflicts, so astrologers advise to be careful in making decisions and in personal relationships.
"This week we have a difficult period ahead of us.
We remember that Mercury is currently retrograde, which will last until December 15. At this time, the processes of communication, learning and movement slow down. From December 4 to 6, retrograde Mercury will connect with the Sun, creating an opposition to Jupiter and a square to Saturn. Such a state of the planets will increase ambition and arrogance, making mutual understanding difficult. In conflict situations, we will see only our point of view. Quadrature with Saturn will add inattention and difficulty with concentration," the astrologer said.
But the main astrological event of the week will be the retrograde of Mars, which happens once every two and a half years. It will begin on December 5 and last until February 25 — a whole three months.
"Retrograde Mars provokes impulsiveness, irascibility, excessive aggression and intolerance. The desire to get everything at once can lead to stress and nervous disorders. People inclined to power will become especially unbearable. This provision can also exacerbate military conflicts by increasing the number of aggressive actions, explosions, fires and technical malfunctions.
During the retrograde period of Mars, it is important to be as attentive as possible to your actions, decisions and the way they are implemented. It is necessary to show responsibility, accuracy and prudence", explained Ksenia Bazilenko.
According to the astrologer, the combined influence of retrograde Mercury and Mars will cause increased irritability, aggression and slowing down of important matters, which can throw off balance. Now more than ever it is important to stay calm and postpone difficult tasks.
This week it is better to avoid:
- purchases of equipment and cars;
- start of repairs;
- large acquisitions;
- making important decisions;
- conducting planned surgical operations.
The most difficult day of the week is December 5.
At the same time, in the first half of the week, Venus will form a harmonious aspect (sextile) to Neptune and Uranus, creating excellent opportunities for creative people. This is a time of inspiration and original ideas. And on December 7-8, Venus will connect with Pluto, igniting strong passions. Passionate and karmic relationships that may begin during this period will later turn out to be difficult," the astrologer believes.
Important this week:
- avoid bustle;
- be calm and attentive, especially on the roads;
- be careful with yourself, your feelings and actions;
- show more love and care for loved ones.
