ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
You're making a fresh start now that your planetary ruler, Mars, has moved into the sign of Aries: the sign of new beginnings. Ambition, fearlessness and a higher energy level is forecasted at this time, but your fiery temper could flair up and get you into trouble as well, especially if children or the sign Leo are on your last nerve. Love relationships, social opportunities and financial enhancements are indicated after December 23, especially if the signs Libra and Taurus are involved. Benefits from your female friends are also shown. This Christmas looks like a very good one!
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Business trips, responsibilities dealing with your in-laws and going back to school for a better career are all possible manifestations as your planetary ruler, Venus, moves through the last few degrees of the sign Capricorn. Focus changes to career aspirations and public activities with friends when Venus moves into the sign of Aquarius around December 22. Your energy level and libido should become increasingly elevated, but watch out for a flaring temper as well. Secret activities and undercover associations with the signs Aries and Scorpio are indicated around December 24. Christmas Day should be fast-paced and filled with enthusiasm, with the possibility of some sex on the side.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Cosmic vibrations are not in your favor. You planetary ruler, Mercury, is in a seemingly backward motion, making life temporarily challenging. You may feel stuck in a bad situation and be unable to make a change at this time, or maybe you just aren't getting the physical love that you so desire. Stay organized and try to look on the bright side. Negative influences reach their peak around December 21 when blockages from Saturn cause financial decreases, very hard work and extreme depression. Although your sign is having difficulties, this is the time of year to appreciate all that you have, not to focus on what you don't.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
You should be feeling things more deeply as the Moon moves through the sign of Scorpio and your 5th house. You should also be in the mood for love. Watch out for secret sexual encounters on December 19, especially if the signs Sagittarius or Pisces are involved. When the Moon moves into the sign of Sagittarius on December 21, your mood will lighten and you'll feel more optimistic, but on December 22 look out for overreacting to something and talking too much. The new Moon in Capricorn begins on December 23, making this the perfect time to renew close relationships and career aspirations. Christmas Day could be idealistic. Music is highlighted.
LEO
(July 23-August 23)
Love and romance are still in the stars for you as your ruler, the Sun, moves through the sign of Sagittarius and your 5th house, especially if the signs Aries or Scorpio are involved. Unexpected love affairs with friends and the signs Aquarius or Capricorn are indicated close to December 21, but these sudden relationships may not last for very long. Cosmic vibrations shift when the Sun moves into the sign of Capricorn around December 23. Work, health, pets and new clothing will all be part of your new agenda. Look out for cuts, burns and angry episodes after December 24. Your in-laws could play a part.
VIRGO
(August 24-September 22)
Celestial conditions are currently in bad shape as your planetary ruler, Mercury, regresses through the sign of Capricorn and your 5th house. Signs point to difficulties with lovers, parents, bosses, children and artistic projects. Cancellations and misunderstandings are also likely, or maybe a bad mood will prompt you to say the wrong thing. Negative energies reach their peak close to December 22 when Saturn temporarily blocks you off completely, bringing possibilities of illness and extreme sadness. If anything goes well, be surprised and appreciative. As for Christmas, keep it low-key. Avoid pressing issues or trying to make things happen. Be easygoing.
LIBRA
(September 23-October 23)
Your planetary ruler, Venus, has been in the sign of Capricorn and your 4th house. You've been hard at work lately with your career, domestic duties, parental responsibilities or your home-based business, but you may have also been slightly depressed due to energies from Saturn. Harmony will be restored when Venus moves into the sign of Aquarius around December 22 bringing romance, creativity, recreation and situations involving children. Love affairs and artistic collaborations are indicted after December 23, especially with the signs Aries and Scorpio. This Christmas will probably be an intimate one spent with the one you love, or at least the one you're dating.
SCORPIO
(October 24-November 22)
Cosmic influences have shifted now that your co-ruler, Mars, has moved into the sign of Aries and your 6th house. Out with the old and in with the new could be your motto this week as you cut away the bad things in your life and put your health and true career ambitions as your first priority. Christmas is only a few days away and vibrations from Jupiter could make you totally overspend, although generous financial gifts are also possible. Love relationships, social opportunities and financial enhancements are all forecasted after December 23, especially if the signs Taurus or Libra are involved. Venus could bring love, money and good fortune on Christmas Day!
SAGITTARIUS
(November23-December 20)
Celestial vibrations are not favorable as your planetary ruler, Jupiter, moves through the sign of Virgo and your 10th house. Communication difficulties, cancellations and general chaos could be taking place at work, and you may even suffer late bills and delayed paychecks. Car problems and hefty repair and telephone bills are also likely. Direct contacts with the planet Pluto could make you more emotional and liable to be controlling. Difficulties with the signs Aries and Scorpio are also possible. Adaptation and internal change are your best defenses during these crazy cosmic influences. Focus on yourself and let everything else go.
CAPRICORN
(December 21-January 20)
Challenging conditions could surface within close relationships as your planetary ruler, Saturn, moves through the sign of Cancer and your 7th house. Confusing vibrations from Mercury may cause misunderstandings, cancellations, tardiness and transportation problems that will climax close to December 21. Difficulties with siblings, neighbors and the signs Gemini and Virgo are also likely at this time, especially if you were born close to January 2. Love, romance and recreational opportunities come into play around December 22. The signs Leo, Libra and Taurus could play a part.
AQUARIUS
(January 21-February 18)
Leave early or you're going to be late for work. Vibrations from Mercury are wreaking havoc on your co-ruler, Saturn, causing tardiness, cancellations, transportation challenges and numerous misunderstandings. Health problems may also surface due to extreme worry and loss of sleep. Difficulties with siblings, neighbors and the signs Gemini and Virgo are also indicated at this time. Luckily, light rays from the Sun move in, bringing opportunities for romance and recreational activities, especially if the sign Leo is involved. Don't be surprised if good and bad fortune both hit you at the same time around December 22. Celestial influences are soon to improve!
PISCES
(February 19-March 20)
You're still at odds with yourself as your planetary ruler, Neptune, moves through the sign of Aquarius and your 12th house. Vibrations from Saturn are trying to take you out of your chosen isolation through demanding lovers, heavy work schedules and hefty parental responsibilities. Intense influences from Pluto could cause power struggles within your career or relationships, especially if the signs Aries or Scorpio are involved. Romances are indicated at work, with an older partner or with the signs Capricorn or Aquarius. A love from the past may also resurface at this time.
