December is the happy time of year for the Pisces career. If you’re going to get good news, this would be the month you would get it. Try not to take too much time off before Christmas, except maybe a day during the first week. Do, however, accept all opportunities to socialize with the boss or with important colleagues.

You’ll need to work for your career rewards, no doubt about that, as go-go Mars is still burrowed into the part of your chart that deals with your job. And Mars in Leo does require that you be very organized in your work. It’s just that Venus in Sagittarius can help you really stand out from the crowd. The week of the 13th is most fortuitous for this; after that, things may decelerate a bit.

After Christmas, Venus moves into your sociable 11th house, essentially making yours the popular sign. Expect calls from friends or make them yourself; this is not the time to hang out by yourself.

At the very end of December, there’s a lunar eclipse in your solar 5th house. Lunar eclipses, when they affect a person, usually require the person to let go of something they have–a relationship, a project, a hobby or activity that drains energy. Not always easy to do, but beneficial in the long run.
