ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Cosmic vibrations have been in your favor as your planetary ruler, Mars, moves through the sign of Aries and your 1st house. New beginnings, increased energy levels and the ambition to succeed in all endeavors have been indicted along with general good fortune. Love, social events with friends, financial enhancements and positive associations with the signs Libra and Taurus are indicated around December 26. But difficult influences from Saturn and the Sun will begin after December 29, bringing parental problems, excessive work, general blockages and clashes with bosses, children and the signs Leo, Capricorn and Aquarius. New Year's may be disappointing.
TAURUS
(April 21-May 21)
Your planetary ruler, Venus, is moving through the sign of Aquarius and your 10th house, making career aspirations your first priority. Vibrations from Mars could bring subtle changes, secret motivations and hidden situations with an Aries or Scorpio around December 26. By December 29, your daily schedule could begin to wear you down physically and emotionally. But by December 31, secret affairs at work, beneficial career contacts, idealistic situations and strong bonds with the signs Pisces and Sagittarius are all forecasted. Love relationships will also be greatly enhanced at this time.
GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
Planetary influences are improving only slightly as situations go from bad to unpredictable. You were really taking a beating from Saturn just a few days ago, but Mercury is seemingly moving backwards, taking you further away from harm. Social activities with in-laws, financial gifts and pleasure travels are indicated close to December 28, especially if women or the signs Taurus and Libra are involved. But don't expect things to go smoothly. Vibrations from Uranus could bring an unexpected romance with the signs Aquarius or Capricorn, but it may not last. Current relationships will be more spontaneous and exciting.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
Cosmic conditions have been unpredictable lately for your sign due to influences from Uranus. Communication with loved ones may be temporarily confusing, especially if the signs Gemini or Virgo are involved. Powerful emotions and intense situations caused by the signs Scorpio or Aries are forecasted for December 28. New Year's plans may be delayed or replaced by spontaneity, new friends and sudden plans with the signs Aquarius and Capricorn. Delay your resolutions to January 21 for better results. New projects on January 1 will not flourish.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 23)
You really deserve better that what the planets have in store for you this week. After December 27, energies from Mars could make you angry or even injure yourself at work. Problems traveling, headaches, teeth and knee difficulties may surface as your ruling Sun moves through your 6th house. By December 31, you might be ready to call it quits when Saturn abruptly moves into the picture. Overwork, high stress and problems with bosses and the signs Capricorn and Aquarius are all forecasted. Stay home and take care of yourself. Put off New Year's resolutions until January 9.
VIRGO
(Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Your planetary ruler, Mercury, has recently had a rough time of it due to abusive energies from Saturn. But celestial conditions are getting confusingly better with misunderstandings and cancellations involving romantic partners or your children. Good fortune from Venus comes into play around December 28 with love affairs, improved health and financial gifts, especially if women or the signs Libra or Taurus are involved. Unexpected occurrences are indicated around December 30 having to do with new romances, work, your home or pet. Electricity, electrical things and the signs Aquarius or Capricorn could play a part.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Aren't you the lucky one? Your planetary ruler, Venus, is harmoniously moving through the sign of Aquarius and your 5th house. Love and romance with the signs Aries and Scorpio have been indicated around December 26, along with sexual inspirations and leisure activities. Minor adjustments will need to be made close to December 29 due to energies from Saturn. Your work schedule and personal plans may clash around this time, or maybe you'll feel a little depressed. But by December 31, concerts, movies and love affairs with a Pisces or Sagittarius could come into play. Music, photography, colors, isolation and your dreams are highlighted.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
How could something so good go so wrong? You've had it great lately, Scorpio—financial gifts, love affairs and fortunate associations with the signs Libra and Taurus. You're living a new life in some way because of recent changes. Vibrations from Jupiter want you to focus on big dreams of glorious magnitude, but when Mars moves closer to Saturn and the Sun on December 30 and 31, life may seem less glamorous. Hard work, constant opposition, parental difficulties and problems with bosses and the signs Capricorn or Aquarius could try to ruin your day. Lessen your expectations and situations will seem better. If you have someone to kiss at midnight on New Year's Eve, you'll be one of the lucky ones.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23-Dec. 20)
You are temporarily out of balance. There is a struggle between your business and personal life. Inner change and raw willpower are your strengths, but the trick is you have to focus only on yourself. Problematic situations with the signs Aries and Scorpio are also likely at this time. Planetary influences improve slightly on December 29, and then more dramatically when Venus brings good news, financial enhancements and fortunate associations with women and the signs Taurus and Libra on December 31. Focus on what needs to be changed now, rather than later.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 21-Jan. 20)
Planetary energies have been confusing as a retrograde Mercury moves through your own sign, but some clarity can be regained after December 28. Suppressed anger could surface close to December 29, especially if the signs Scorpio or Aries are involved. Unfortunately, these vibrations will intensify along with clashes with the Sun climaxing on New Year's Eve. Problems with romance, children and the sign Leo are indicated along with canceled plans, overwork and a tendency to be argumentative. Put off your resolutions until January 9 or 21 for best results.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21-Feb. 18)
Of all the signs, yours is the one that will experience the most significant change after the New Year. December 30 may not go as planned due to intimate contacts with Mercury bringing cancellations and misunderstandings, but possible plans with the signs Gemini or Virgo. As of December 31, your planetary ruler, Uranus, will be in the sign of Pisces and your 2nd house. New and unique forms of income are indicated along with short-term employment and humanitarian activity. A friend could even help you out financially. New Year's Eve may be disappointing, but you can bet that you will experience significant changes in the near future.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
A struggle between your career aspirations and love life is now in effect as your co-ruler, Jupiter, moves through your 7th house. Bosses, parents and the signs Scorpio and Aries could put a damper on your love life. Situations get better when workloads lessen and romances get better after December 29. But cosmic conditions really improve when Venus delivers secret lovers, creativity in the bedroom and behind-the-scenes associations with the signs Taurus and Libra on December 31. Sex in public may even be in store, but I didn't tell you to do it!
