The month begins with friendly Venus sextiling expansive Jupiter in your Natural 10th House of career and reputation, which could mean something as exciting as a bonus or windfall of some sort, or even a promotion and raise.  Another possibility, since Venus is in your Natural 8th House of intimate relationships, transformations and other people's resources, is the escalation of a relationship to a more intimate level, or a significant improvement in your career, status, or reputation.  With Saturn in your Natural 7th House of relationships squaring the Sun, shining away in your 10th along with Jupiter, more responsibility may be required within a relationship, though this may not necessarily involve a significant other.  It could simply relate to some other one-on-one relationship that involves a close friend, relative, coworker, or boss.  This, of course, could easily tie into either of the previous events as well.  If your birthday falls within a few days, one way or the other, of February 28, you're even more likely to see something happen in one of these areas.  At the end of the month and into the first few days of January, the Sun will throw a favorable trine to Saturn, at which time any previous issues should be resolved, if not before.

As someone who frequently looks for ways to escape the mundane, if your career doesn't bring you any satisfaction or enjoyment, you'll be giving this some heavy thought throughout December and well into January.  Jupiter and Pluto have been converging into a bear hug for several weeks now, also in your 10th House.  Pluto's usual role is as the cosmic Roto-Rooter who unearths all sorts of hidden crap for your perusal.  If there's anything questionable in your past that constitutes some serious baggage with respect to your career or reputation, it's likely to come spewing out in a rather forceful manner.  Jupiter influences our core beliefs, which are likely to come under close scrutiny as well.  Pluto may make a rather unpleasant mess while he's doing his work, but when all is said and done, things are generally cleaned up quite nicely, allowing things to proceed better than before.  A transformation in your view of the world is the likely result when all is said and done.  Between December 19 - 29 the Sun will be shedding even more light on this particular subject, so it's not something that you're likely to either miss or be able to ignore. 

The second week of December, something is likely to occur that either creates a disturbance or an unexpected event of some sort thanks to the Sun squaring Uranus in your Natural 1st House.  If your birthday is on or within a few days, one way or the other, of March 6, this is likely to be even more noticeable.  During about this same time, busybody Mercury may deliver some news, again related to your career or reputation, that affects your children, or possibly a creative endeavor of some sort, and causes some restlessness or necessitates an adjustment or some sort.  The New Moon on December 9th is likely to have some influence here as well since, you guessed it, that will also occur in Sagittarius, your now-infamous 10th House.  Slightly after that, the Sun will sextile your Sign Ruler, Neptune, who's currently camping out in your Natural 12th House.  The zodiacal 12th house is ruled by Pisces, so this is home ground for you and with your friend, Neptune in residence there, this spotlight from the Sun between December 9 - 15 should bring some inspiration your way that could create an opportunity of some sort. 

The male - female thing was a little tense in November, but there will be a good opportunity to get things sorted out between December 10 - 14 when Venus, who will be in Scorpio by then, trines retrograde (RX) Mars.  Venus in Scorpio could tend to be a bit self-serving, and with Mars RX, the guys may be a bit passive-aggressive, so any truce that may be put in place at this time may be short-lived, but enjoy it while it lasts.  This aspect could have a bearing on your children or creative efforts as well, and tie into 9th house issues such as higher education, legal matters, religion, or foreign travel.  Mars RX can also bring anger that has been suppressed for a while to the surface, though this could happen at almost any time.  This is most likely to happen right around Christmas when the Sun opposes Mars, so if your family get-togethers tend to turn into brawls, this will probably not help keep the peace, especially with the Full Moon in Cancer just up the road a bit from Mars on the 23rd.

Saturn goes retrograde on the 19th in your Natural 7th House of relationships, which will persist until the first part of May.  If any of your relationships are in need of repair, your subconscious will be processing all related data over the next several months.  Then, sometime after he goes direct next spring, you'll have all the information you need to make the needed repairs. 

If you plan on going out New Years eve, make sure if you need a babysitter that you get one lined up well in advance, or you may have to make some adjustments in your plans.  This is particularly true if you're counting on an ex-spouse to do so.  The more important it is for you to get out on the town, the more important it is for you to make sure all your ducks are in a row to avoid last minute frustrations.

Needless to say this is a heavy month, particularly as it relates to your career.  Children and lovers are also likely to be on the agenda.  Pay attention to what's going on around you, listen to your instincts, and be ready to put some plans together for some changes in 2008 if there's anything currently going on that you'd like to change.
