The upper (day) side of your Horoscope is not only strong quantitatively – at least 80 per cent of the planets are there – but qualitatively as well. The Sun and Mars, two of the three most important planets in your chart, spend all month here. And there are periods where even the Moon (the other most important planet) will also be here (from the 1st to the 7th and from the 22nd to the end of the month). Your 10th house of career, strong all year, becomes even stronger on the 26th as Venus, enters. Your 4th house of home and family, by contrast, is basically empty. Only the Moon moves through there on the 16th and 17th. So the power and might of the cosmos is in your career and outer goals. Pursue them actively. You have a lot of help.
Your 8th house of regeneration became powerful on October 23 and is still strong this month. Thus the libido is stronger than usual and, as long as you don’t overdo it, things will be OK. The spouse, partner or current love is having a banner financial month. You seem very involved here – especially from the 19th onwards. A strong 8th house favours detox regimes of all kinds – and not only physical detoxing. It favours the detoxing of the mind and emotions, too – the purging of negative habits of thought and feeling – as well as the detoxing of possessions. There is a need to de-clutter your environment, to get rid of possessions that you don’t need or use. Sell them or give them to charity. A strong 8th house is also good for weight-loss regimes, if you need them. Good physical health is often a matter of getting rid of things in the body that don’t belong there (and not so much about adding things to the body). The same is true for mental and emotional health. This is a good month for tax and estate planning (if you are of appropriate age). Good for paying down debt or refinancing existing debt.
The month ahead is prosperous. Venus spends almost all month – until the 26th – in Sagittarius, your 9th house. This is a fortunate place. Earnings are increasing. There is boundless financial optimism. Foreigners might be playing an important role in the financial life. There is business-related foreign travel.
Venus will go ‘out of bounds’ from the 15th to the 30th. This signals that you’re more adventurous in both love and finance. The solutions you seek are not in your normal spheres and you must go outside them to find what you want. And it seems you’re successful. Venus travels with Jupiter from the 22nd to the 24th, indicating a nice payday. For singles this indicates an important romantic meeting as well.
On the 26th Venus crosses your Mid-heaven for the second time this year. On the terrestrial level, the Mid-heaven is the most powerful position for any planet. This is another good signal for prosperity. It should bring a nice payday.
Health is much improved compared to last month. Continue to enhance the health through detox regimes, through more care of the colon and bladder and by sexual moderation.

Your career is the main headline this month. And, what a headline it is! You’ve been working hard and diligently for the past two years. You progressed inch by inch, slowly and methodically. Now, the payoff happens. Jupiter moves into your career house on the 3rd and suddenly you are the hottest ticket in town. But this is not all. Your 10th house has been strong all year, but this month at least 60 per cent, and at times 70 per cent, of the planets are in or moving through your 10th house. Mighty cosmic geniuses are supporting your rise and success. If you can manage to keep your health (a challenge from the 22nd onwards) you’re on top of the world. Many people in your life are also succeeding this month and they seem helpful to your own career.
On the 22nd you begin a yearly career peak. For many of you it will be a lifetime career peak. The message of the Horoscope is: do your duty, achieve what you came here to achieve, get your outer goals right and everything else in life will sort itself out. You will have prosperity, creativity, love and even health.
Keep in mind our health discussions of the past few months. You won’t be able to avoid working hard or avoid the demands of your career, but you can pace yourself better. Rest when tired. Drop the inessentials from your life or delegate them to others. Get more massages or health treatments. Spend more spare time at a health spa. Until the 9th continue with detox regimes. From the 9th to the 24th enhance your health through thigh massage and more care of the liver. Prayer is potent medicine too. After the 24th, back and knee massage will be powerful. It will also be useful to review the yearly report on health.
A solar eclipse on the 26th occurs in your career house, the third eclipse of the year in this house. It seems to me that, though the eclipse is disruptive, it is positive. (Good things can be just as disruptive as bad things.) It takes time to adjust to the disruption, and you should definitely reduce your schedule over this period. The good news is that the eclipse happens just after Christmas, so many will not be working that day. Travelling, though, wouldn’t be advisable then. Instead, spend some quiet time at home. The same advice goes for children, children figures, parents and parent figures in your life. This eclipse occurs very near Jupiter, so college-level (or college-bound) students are affected. They could change schools, courses or other educational plans.
Venus, your love and financial planet, is still ‘out of bounds’ until the 13th. This indicates, as was mentioned last month, that you feel a need to go outside your normal haunts in order to fulfil your financial and love goals.
