Sagittarius
An important turning point comes this month, after a long run of outstanding luck. You have reconnected with yourself and feel much more like the typical bright, breezy Sagittarian you always knew you were at heart. Setbacks come and go, but you keep your optimistic spirit and don’t let anything get you down. Even if you don’t see life has changed for the better, you still feel good inside your skin and there are important things to look forward to. The New Moon in your sign on the 9th December is a great starting point for anything that you want to grow and flourish in the future. Think big and use the lessons you have learned over the last many months. Jupiter, your ruling star, has been in your sign for the whole year so far and you understand now that a positive attitude is a definite force in your favour. It pays you to imagine the best possible outcome and to believe it absolutely will happen. Jupiter moves on by Wednesday 19th and after this point, you need to concentrate on more practical, money-making matters. Now you are in the right spirit, focus on material affairs and make a healthy profit.
Capricorn
Your greatest good fortune starts here and it is time to think big. As a Capricorn, you are worldly and practical and always take the steps necessary to see any plan through. You are not the type to begin in a flush of enthusiasm and then let your target slip away for lack of attention or willpower. Au contraire. On the 19th December, Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, enters your sign and expands your vision of the possible. If you despaired of ever finding the right job, relationship, or crowd, then Jupiter brings all this closer. Fantastic fortune doesn’t come overnight and it is not like a magic wand is waved – your luck is often subtle. But you discover many goals and dreams starting to be fulfilled and you are reborn as one of life’s optimists. Your warm, generous attitude helps out in your love affairs, where you are going back to the roots of your relationship. Someone you were involved with recently comes back into your world, or you re-explore your attraction to a long-term partner. Don’t take any hasty decisions – always allow yourself room to return to a previous situation.
Aquarius
You are still in a dreamy and escapist frame of mind and need a place where you can indulge your imagination. If you are taking the first practical steps to establish yourself, in work or studying hard, you find people critical of your faraway nature and bosses are telling you to concentrate. You have special gifts and outstanding talent, but you need a job or career where you can express your idealism and not be held back. Neptune, planet of dreams, is going through your sign and will be with you for the foreseeable. This is an important and transforming phase, where you get in touch with things closest to your heart. Friday 14th is your peak moment of the month, where it pays to go out and ask for more than you usually expect. You can look great under this influence, with a special image that people try to copy but never quite emulate. By the 19th, you may wish to withdraw a little and spend time in the bliss of your own company. Using the gift of your imagination is a powerful tool to picture how you want things to work out in the future. You don’t need to discuss your plans with anyone else, just let them brew in the potent creative stage.
Pisces
If you have been a little bit quiet or timid in stepping out and doing your own thing, then now you make up for lost time. You have kept to the rules and regulations everyone else has put on you, but now is your moment to stand out. Uranus, planet of rebellion, moves forwards through your sign at last. You realise that taking risks and introducing change on your own terms is not always a mad, bad or dangerous thing. If you have kept with a job, course of study, or relationship just for security, then you can’t stand to be constrained any longer. It is either your way, or no way. You may be hemmed in with your relationship, and there are still big lessons to learn. Bringing in an element of change does not always mean breaking up – you can relate to the same person on a different level. You may find you try somebody new, only for the same situations to keep cropping up. Your appearance takes on a refreshing new angle – you like bright colours and an image that confounds the status quo. Anything that sets you apart from the crowd, especially if you get a big reaction from people around you. Saturday 15th is your best night for fun and forgetting.
Aries
You need to take things more slowly and carefully, being more thorough with everything you do. Usually, you are first in line for any new experience, halfway towards finishing before anyone else has even got their shoes on. Yet as Mars, your ruler, moves backwards, you must analyse where you have missed out recently and maybe start again in certain areas. Decoration and home-building come into this bracket and if you have chosen the wrong colour paint, cushions or curtains, then it’s time to re-think and go back to the shop. Frustrating, as you always want the quickest route, but be patient if you can, and you learn lots. Your career is about to become much more important. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, hits the top of your chart by the 19th and inspires your ambition. It is more important to find satisfying work that appeals to your imagination, and fires up your idealism. Though you are not chasing the material rewards necessarily, money comes more easily from a job that is closer to your heart. Keep this in mind and over the next few months you get big rewards for maintaining your faith.
Taurus
Patient and thorough are your watchwords and this attitude gets you far this month. You are stepping into a mini golden-era and very soon start receiving fantastic rewards. Saturn, planet of ambition and success, sits sweetly and if you keep knocking at the door of achievement, it inevitably swings open. This does not happen immediately. You will not go out in a rainstorm and have money fall on you. But every effort you make is logged in a little book somewhere and no positive step is ever wasted. Jupiter, the planet of faith and good fortune, enlivens your travel and study zone by the 19th and gives you a sense of rich possibilities. If there are places you have always dreamed of visiting, then start scanning the brochures. Your education becomes fun in itself, and not just marking time. Venus, your ruling planet, sparks in your relationship zone from the 6th onwards, so you are in the mood for company. People are attracted to your warm and generous nature, but jealousy can also arise in crowds. If anyone makes comments about you, it is because you look so amazing and they don’t understand how you do it.
Gemini
Impulsiveness with your spending this month brings equal opportunities and challenges. There is an element of pride wrapped up in your purchasing power, as you want to show off what you can afford. Good to be successful, but make sure you really want and need these items, and they are not just trinkets on your shelf. Mars, the planet of dynamism, goes backwards through your money zone and you might have to take things back to the shop, bought in the spur of the moment. Again, be careful of wasting your cash, and always buy the best available. Still, you may use your impatient attitude to secure a bargain that wouldn’t be available any other time. While other people weigh up the options and discuss it with their bank manager, you have your money out ready and walk off with the goods. There is also a chance to capture a deal that evaded you the first time around. If you couldn’t afford something before, or were reluctant to spend the necessary, now you jump in when the opportunity comes again. The 9th sees a new start in love and a well-chosen gift makes the right romantic impact.
Cancer
You are enjoying a rush of energy that lets you show a different side to your nature. People know you can be pushy and a leader, but mostly you show a sweet, sympathetic side, shy about revealing your feelings. Mars, the planet of dynamism, is now centre-stage and you are much more open and up-front. Impatience is certain and if anyone stands in your way, you are the first to let them know. This applies everywhere in your world, especially when you are out and flirting, you just want people to get on with it and make their feelings plain. You haven’t got time to wait while they weigh their options up and find the courage! It is tempting in these situations to make the first move, but don’t be too hasty. Being forward is not your usual style and there is always the chance of leaping in too quickly. You don’t want to spend time extricating yourself from a sticky romantic scenario, where you have given too many rash promises. Still, there are great relationship options after the 19th, when your confidence and optimism take a fantastic lift. The Full Moon on the 24th is a high-point in the year, like your second birthday and the occasion demands to be celebrated.
Leo
Money is on your mind, how much of it you need and what lengths you are prepared to go to get it. You like having the best of everything and to make extravagant gestures for your friends and family, and all this requires a budget. If you are concerned about your financial situation, bear in mind that you can have money if you want it. Sometimes the things you have to do and the hours you have to work make you wonder whether it is worth it. If you are happy just hanging out with your friends and making do, this is sometimes a better bet. Saturn, the planet of success, asks these questions of you and you must decide how much is enough – you must find the right balance. If you are dead-set on a champagne lifestyle, then embark on a long-term career strategy that brings it to you. By the 19th December, your material interests grow sharper, though your clever business skills keep pace. Whatever your desires, always buy the best: clothes, accessories, everything – this conditions you to expect the finest quality. Aim high and over time, you should find your dreams gradually coming to life.
Virgo
A lot is expected of you and people are looking up to you do all the things you say you will. Your ambitions are high and you have to build your world from the ground upwards. Career goals appear far away, but it’s important not to expect anything to happen overnight. Readjust your sights and work steadily for the long term, and this is where your ultimate triumph lies. Saturn, planet of success, is in your sign and turns backwards after the 19th. A goal or ambition you thought could be achieved quickly takes longer than you think, but the rewards are also greater. No matter how urgent your desires, pace yourself and take it easy. For sure, you feel very tired and you should factor some rest and relaxation into your day. Take a gym subscription and make sure you get plenty of sunlight. You can’t do everything at once. Help also comes on the 19th, when Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, moves into a wonderful alignment. As daunting as it seems to tackle your biggest career challenges, you have a quiet optimism that keeps your inner flame burning. You will look back on amazing achievements and feel proud that you did everything you could.
Libra
A career plan that you started recently has to fit in with the demands of the time. Maybe you were in too much of a hurry to take the right choices and now you have to rethink and re-plan where you are going. This means your grand scheme takes longer than you imagined at the start, but it is worth getting it absolutely right. Mars, the planet of action, is in the topmost part of your horoscope and points you the way. Sometimes it feels like you are going backwards and you have to re-do everything again that you thought was solid and complete. Take your time and look forward to how wonderful your world will be once you are finished. A concentration of planets in your domestic zone by December 22nd means you can have the home you always wanted. This is the time to start putting down roots and making your base exactly how you dreamt it. As a Libran, you have a great eye for design and decoration, and you can exploit this to the maximum. The Full Moon on the 24th lights up your ambitions, but you get the most from your career by having somewhere private and luxurious to call your own.
Scorpio
You are looking good and feeling great this month, and nothing is too much trouble. Venus, planet of love and looks, goes through your sign, creating a great finale to the year. You dress up with the greatest of ease and get excellent value for your glam efforts. Stand by to grab attention even without trying – people are intrigued by how you look and stop to take an interest. Clearly, this is a great time to kick-start your love life and to find new people to flirt with. You feel warm, generous, and in the mood for the perfect company. It’s also an outstanding time to patch up a friendship that has gone astray, maybe make a peace offering to an old friend. Old, blocked feelings melt under Venus’s beams. Plans for a holiday need re-thinking, or else you end up going somewhere totally different to your original plan. This applies to academic projects too, where you suddenly grasp an idea you have wrestled with for a long time. The Full Moon on the 24th illuminates your thinking and you know exactly what you have to do and what avenue to study. There’s romantic potential here too, and you might find somebody fascinating alongside you.
