December Horoscopes

Aries
21st March – 20th April
Your feisty ruling planet Mars moves into your career and status zone on the 8th, so you’re looking longterm and feeling driven to reach toward plans. What happens around the 14th connected to this can be intense; Mars meets transformational Pluto, so it could be a change of direction, it could be some kind of turning point, but it’s going to feel significant. Romance is deepening nicely around that time too. Then there’s a stormy full moon eclipse on the 21st; the mood is unpredictable and high energy, but unshaken you are keeping your focus firmly on those future plans.

Taurus
21st April – 21st May
There’s a perspective shift regarding income and resources this month; you’re changing your view big time through a series of events that works like a truth quest. See it like any relationship that you learn and evolve as a result of your interaction with. All your relationships are important this month too, as your ruler Venus is moving through this area of your chart. New moon on the 5th is nice for new love, and attached Taureans notice partners are also going through their own process; give them a break if they’re showing signs of the stress of it, especially midmonth.


Gemini
22nd May – 21st June
There’s a lovely new moon (new feeling) influencing relationships on the 5th, then Mercury, your ruler, retrogrades from the 10th (appears to move backwards). No it’s not about things going downhill, it’s about reconnecting with the past or reviewing the present in some way. This merges well with the intense flavour of events this month, which have a theme of change and surrendering to the change: the 14th around friendship, the 21st around love, and the 26th around communication. Mercury ends its retro phase on the 31st, which is the perfect way to begin a New Year: freshly looking forward in a new direction.


Cancer
22nd June – 22nd July
Wow, it’s all about relationships in such a big way for Cancer this month. So much happening, so much to trust yourself about and surrender worry about. Every relationship is a reflection of your relationship with yourself, so that is where you are going to have to keep coming back to in order to make sense of certain situations, or to get the most out of what’s happening. Most busy and intense midmonth, and most emotionally impacting around the 21st, under a full moon eclipse, along with plenty of inspiration for end of year positive reflection.


Leo
23rd July – 23rd August
An adventurous new moon on the 5th spices up matters of the heart, and on the 6th your relationship ruler ends a retrograde phase ongoing since July. It means a turning point for any situation that has felt stuck in the past, or which has reached a sticking point. As the month goes on moving forward and looking forward is what it’s all about. There’s a line-up of planets influencing health and wellbeing, so there’s no room for soldiering on or for tolerating stress and ignoring pressure; the planets want you in tip top condition for 2011 so be good to yourself.


Virgo
24th August – 22nd September
Early December has an unpredictable, edgy feel at times when Mars/Uranus presses all your comfort zone buttons, but from the 6th there’s some kind of turning point in relationship issues and you are getting a feel for freedom and independence within all connections. Your ruler Mercury retrogrades from the 10th (appears to move backwards) till the 31st, amidst a heavy line-up of planets; it can mean mixed messages, especially midmonth; and complex dynamics in communications. There’s fun to be had too though, but always with Pluto’s characteristic intensity.


Libra
23rd September – 23rd October
The new moon on the 5th brings a new emotional dimension to all communications, and there’s a growing emphasis on finances and resources and the way they link to your domestic bliss at the moment. It’s a stable and structured time till around the 10th, then a heavy line-up of planets in the comfort zone angle of your chart tests your emotional mettle towards change. It’s a fabulous planet presence for literal restructuring of your home, but more so metaphorically there’s something of the phoenix rising within you to greet your new year.


Scorpio
24th October – 22nd November
There’s a sparkly new moon for Scorpio on the 5th, as magnetic Venus is still in your sign and linking up creatively and happily to your ruling planet Pluto. Expect scintillating conversation and the upper hand in all relationship scenarios. Even midmonth onward, when the rest of the zodiac buckles under the strain of some formidable planet aspects, you seem to be in your element with what’s on offer and continually find yourself rising to the challenge of any occasion. It can’t hurt to watch finances closely though; Mercury’s in trickster mode, so careful it’s not your soul you’re signing away.


Sagittarius
23rd November – 21st December
New moon in your sign on the 5th means a new you in so many ways. There’s also a feeling of the tide turning in some way, especially at home, where there’s been a certain current you’ve had to ride since July. Relationships need careful handling for much of the month, especially those with financial attachments. Love might be calling for a change of direction or approach, and new love might have links to the past in some way. There’s a powerful and intense flavour to much of December’s events, but that has positive connotations indeed for a spice hungry sign like Sadge.


Capricorn
22nd December – 20th January
So much planet activity in your sign means lots happening this month, and because transformational Pluto is at the heart of it, your experiences might feel profound and probably intense at times. It’s possible you’re the catalyst for others transformation and change too, especially midmonth when there’s a particular hotspot of planets that speak of changing patterns, changing perspective and trusting the unknown territory all that brings. Pluto means light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to look for it, and the sun moving into your sign from the 21st is a good solid symbol of exactly that.


Aquarius
21st January – 18th February
Since early July your ruler, the unconventional Uranus has been retrograde (appearing to move backwards). Rather than regression, it tends to mean introspection, alternative approaches, or certain situations put on hold for a later date. From the 6th, Uranus moves forward again; slowly, but the turning point is there, and as the month goes on you might be seeing signs of this and maybe the time begins to feel right for movement or a change of mind on a subject or project. There’s a lot that feels out of your hands this month, but that doesn’t mean circumstances aren’t on your side.

Pisces
19th February – 20th March
There’s a supportive new moon on the 5th, in the career and status section of your chart. It indicates a new feeling or a new sense of purpose about aims and ambitions, which answers and settles recent restlessness. You might not know all the details yet, but the feeling is in you that things are moving forward and it’s enough to see you through December’s choppy planetary waters. Keep the faith that alternatives and options are now on their way, as it’s easy to buy into others lack of vision, they don’t mean harm, they just don’t have your insight.
