You begin the month somewhat frustrated that you cannot reach people for business. You are trying to drum up business while they are celebrating and preparing for holidays. Mars is retrograde all month in your house of money, budget, values and self esteem. The New Moon on the 9th occurs in the same house as the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction on the 11th. There will be significant happenings with personal and business relationships this month. Others may need freedom or commitment – no gray area. The 17th, 19th and 20th are great idea days for you. Don’t get into an argument on the 22nd. Saturn turns retrograde in the residence area of your chart requiring some repair or reorganization there. The Full Moon on the 24th occurs in the same area as Mars retrograde. You may not be willing to spend the time and/or money which family or friends expect in order to travel to see them, buy food or purchase gifts.
