Astrological Influences of December 2024 and How Counselling and Coaching Can Support You Through this Crazy Time


As December arrives, the pace slows down significantly, and the energy of the month is influenced by key astrological events, most notably Mercury Retrograde. This transit often brings delays, miscommunications, and technology glitches. Especially around travel and scheduling, it’s wise to have a Plan B ready, as things may not go exactly as planned. With Mercury retrograde in Sagittarius, the urge for straightforwardness will be strong, but be mindful of how you communicate. While Sagittarians are known for blunt honesty, it’s important to temper your words with a bit of tact to avoid misunderstandings. This is a great time to practice balancing truth with kindness in your conversations.


Mercury retrograde can cause frustration and uncertainty, especially when things aren’t moving as quickly as expected. Therapy, energy healing or coaching can help you manage these delays with patience, focus on realistic expectations, and find ways to communicate effectively during this period. You can also use this time to reflect on your goals and reassess how they align with your values.


New Moon in Sagittarius

The New Moon in Sagittarius brings a fresh energy, perfect for new beginnings. However, with Mercury still in retrograde, it’s best to use this New Moon to review and refine your plans rather than launch something entirely new.


Ask yourself: Are my current goals still aligned with my larger vision? If you feel something isn’t quite right, now is the time to adjust your approach. This New Moon is a great opportunity for self-reflection. A coaching session can guide you in evaluating your personal or professional goals and help you pinpoint areas that may need revision to ensure that your next steps align with your deeper desires.


Mars Retrograde

When Mars stations retrograde, its effects can be quite noticeable. This is a period of slowing down action and, potentially, a rise in frustration. Mars retrograde can stir up suppressed anger or a feeling of being “stuck,” especially around issues related to power or control. It’s essential to keep your temper in check during this transit and to think twice before taking impulsive action. Mars retrograde encourages reflection on past actions and motivations.


If you’re feeling frustrated or unsure about how to proceed, a counselling session can help you work through these emotions, offering techniques for managing anger or impatience. They can also help you explore deeper patterns in your behavior, fostering a better understanding of your inner motivations.


Venus in Aquarius

Venus in Aquarius encourages socializing and connecting with friends, making it an ideal time for holiday festivities and gatherings. If you’re hosting a celebration, this energy will support a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere. You might find that your circle of friends expands, as Venus in Aquarius favors unconventional connections and open-mindedness.

As social dynamics intensify during the holiday season, a coach or therapist can help you navigate any interpersonal challenges, setting healthy boundaries with family or friends. They can also guide you in strengthening relationships and maintaining a sense of community while staying true to your own needs and values.


Full Moon in Gemini

The Full Moon in Gemini on December 15th highlights communication and adaptability. It’s the perfect moment to finalize decisions, clear the air with unresolved conversations, and close out any lingering contracts or commitments. With Mercury going direct just before this Full Moon, you may feel that things are finally starting to move forward after the retrograde haze.


The Full Moon in Gemini is a great time to release old communication patterns and mental clutter. A session can help you identify any unresolved emotional issues or misunderstandings that need clearing and assist in setting clear, actionable goals for the rest of the month, helping you to move forward with confidence and clarity.


Sun in Capricorn (December 21st - January 19th, 2025)

The silly season officially begins with the Sun entering Capricorn on December 21st, bringing a focus on discipline, organization, and planning. Capricorn’s energy will urge you to get practical, especially around holiday logistics. It’s the perfect time to wrap up any last-minute tasks and prepare for the new year with a solid, structured plan.


Capricorn energy encourages goal-setting and strategic thinking. If you’ve been struggling with procrastination or feeling overwhelmed by tasks, booking a session can support you break down your to-do list into manageable steps. A therapist can help you manage any stress or feelings of burnout as you work toward achieving your goals.


Jupiter-Saturn Square (December 24th, 2024)

On Christmas Eve, Jupiter and Saturn form a challenging aspect. This marks the second part of a three-part square that began in August and will conclude in February. Jupiter wants expansion and freedom, while Saturn insists on responsibility and structure. This can create tension, especially during the busy holiday season. It’s important to manage your commitments and avoid overcommitting yourself.


The Jupiter-Saturn square invites you to balance your ambitions with your responsibilities. A session can help you set boundaries and prioritize your time, and assist you in managing any stress or anxiety that arises from feeling pulled in too many directions. By recognizing the need for balance, you’ll be better equipped to enjoy the holidays without burning out.


Getting the Support you deserve:

December is a month of reflection, preparation, and strategic planning. Whether you’re navigating the delays of Mercury retrograde, managing the intensity of Mars retrograde, or getting ready to set New Year’s resolutions under the Capricorn New Moon, counselling, energy healing and coaching can provide the support you need.


Together, we can work on managing stress, improving communication, setting achievable goals, and fostering healthier relationships—ensuring that you finish 2024 feeling empowered and prepared for the year ahead.
