Mars retrograde is fairly rare so if you feel the need for some closure on  a past relationship, re-connecting is possible. Likewise, a parade of old partners may be "stopping by to say hello" in one form or another.

Depending on your sign, the reappearance or reappraisal happens here:

ARIES—old lovers return, or a past project gets re-ignited

TAURUS—your mom may be extra belligerent or there may be a dramatic situation percolating at home

GEMINI—the friend/lover makes an entrance, you are motivated to get your writing out in  a more forceful way

CANCER—potential financial opportunities that had previously been offered are on offer again

LEO—you're feeling the need to be more assertive or aggressive in certain situations

VIRGO—you'll be looking over your shoulder, try not to be paranoid, or a karmic love connection from the past

LIBRA—more competition in your social arena, the alpha female makes her appearance

SCORPIO—you feel the need to clean house at work or take on a new project that inspires you

SAGITTARIUS—you may be feeling rather energized by spiritual matters or a foreign attraction

CAPRICORN—the old lover returns, renewed connections with business asssociates

AQUARIUS—there may be a tendency to feel as if others are rather pushy, try to cut them some slack as they are feeling under-appreciated

PISCES—some healthy competition at work, younger male energy in your daily life

Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius:
While the early part of the month is rather volatile (but ultimately really good), the end of December concludes with a lovely aspect of gentleness, compassion and healing. On December 21, the last pass of the year-long Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius transit is concluding, proferring a gift of grace and acceptance. Miracles can happen in the area this appears, more in the form of letting go of an old story, emotional pain, suffering and/or disillusionment. Faith, on some level, will be restored.

The lovely blessing can occur in this area of life:

ARIES—healthy, supportive friendships

TAURUS—inspired career direction

GEMINI—renewed faith in the goodness of the universe

CANCER—a comforting, loving sexual union

LEO—ability to see the soul in your partner

VIRGO—self-love and healing, particularly around your body and health

LIBRA—a true romance

SCORPIO—healing around a family situation, letting go of past resentments

SAGITTARIUS—a more compassionate way of communicating

CAPRICORN—release of financial worry, surrender

AQUARIUS—a sense of feeling more whole and connected

PISCES—spiritual brownie points, dissolving of old fears

This year has been a rather tumultuous affair and while the future is still unfolding, may we find some peace and acceptance of our changing circumstances, confident in the knowledge that we are getting closer to who we are meant to be. I can't wait for 2010!
