Many of the trends that we wrote of last month are still in effect now. Venus, your love and financial planet, is still retrograde–so finances and love are in a period of review and study. Some 90 per cent, and sometimes 100 per cent, of the planets are still in the upper half of the horoscope–ambitions are strong and much career progress is being made. You can continue to de-emphasize emotional and family issues and focus more on outer success. Saturn is still in your house of marriage, testing and reorganizing your love life, marriage and friendships. Proceed slowly in love. Allow time–whether you are planning a marriage or divorce.
Like last month, your 8th house is powerful until the 22nd. Review our discussion of last month.
This month your 9th house is powerful, too. It started to get strong on the 28th of last month and will get even stronger this month. Thus foreign lands are calling to you and there will be happy opportunities for foreign travel, too. Your travel planet, Jupiter, will start to move forward on the 18th, so try to schedule your travel after that. There are also many other happy things going on. There are happy educational opportunities. Students, on the university or graduate school level, seem successful. Applicants likewise. Those of you involved in legal issues should see improvement in the month ahead. There are religious and philosophical breakthroughs for those who want them–and when these things happen there is great joy. The mental horizons get expanded. The Hindu religion considers the 9th house to be the most fortunate of all the houses–so this is a happy month.
Health is much improved this month–especially after the 22nd. Still, with Saturn having an impact on you, pay due attention–especially to your heart (all month), your colon, bladder and sexual organs (until the 9th), and your liver and thighs (from the 9th onwards). Detox is still powerful until the 9th. Regular thigh massage is powerful after the 9th.
Job-seekers should look in foreign lands or with foreign companies. There are also opportunities at universities, religious institutions, travel agencies and publishers.

The planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward this month. Some 90 per cent are moving forward, and from the 6th to the 10th (and from the 30th onwards) 100 per cent are forward. So this is a month of rapid forward motion–just the way you like things.
Your 10th house of career becomes powerful after the 8th. On the 21st, as the Sun crosses the Midheaven, you enter a yearly career peak. Keep in mind that 90 per cent (and sometimes 100 per cent) of the planets are still in the upper half of the horoscope. So this is a banner career month. You are on top–elevated–respected–honoured and appreciated. There are pay rises and promotions. You are honoured for your professional achievements but also for who you are. Push forward boldly to your goals. Reach for the Sun, Moon and stars.
Health becomes more delicate after the 21st–probably due to the focus on your career and the demands of success. As always, try to rest and relax more. Pay more attention to your heart (all month), your liver and thighs (on the 1st and from the 19th to the 31st), and your spine, knees, teeth, bones, gallbladder and skeletal alignment (from the 2nd to the 19th).
Mercury goes retrograde right in the heart of the Christmas shopping season–from the 10th to the 30th. Probably a good idea to do your shopping early.
With your financial planet (Venus) now moving forward, the financial picture is more clear. Your financial judgement is sound. If you have done your review in the past few months, your goals are clear and you are ready to implement your improvements. Venus is receiving wonderful aspects from Jupiter, so this is a prosperous month. But, as mentioned earlier, you need to be aware of the financial interests of others and put them first. Good to pay off debt. Your spouse or partner seems very generous and is prospering. There are opportunities with troubled properties or troubled companies. You need to keep taxes in mind when making important financial decisions. Inheritance can happen for many of you. Others are planning their estates now.
Love is still delicate. You still need to make your marriage or relationship your number-one priority (a rival to your career). Singles seem most interested in the sexual chemistry. There are many opportunities this month. Marriage seems unlikely, though. A happy sex life will cover many sins in a troubled marriage–but your relationship needs more than that.
