December 2015 – Astrological Forecasts

This December heralding the close of 2015 will be a wondrous time, one filled with all kinds of surprises, not always expected ones mind you – but definitely ones that are vivid and dynamic. In terms of the general astral background, it will definitely stabilize itself towards December and we will no longer have the quite frenzied planetary influences which have been evident the last few months.

We should note Saturn as one among the more active celestial bodies – we also call this planet The Ruler of the Rivers of Time and his positive influence will bring an exclusively positive mood to all of the zodiac signs, which for some, may prove a “defining moment” in 2015 . In addition to Saturn, Mars our strong celestial warrior, will side with Humanity, strutting his stuff out in the Heavens to bring a powerful whiplash to the most problematic conflicts as we complete the year. In simple terms the planetary configuration provides us with the best possible means to resolve conflict both personally and globally…the rest is up to us…

CANCER

Your 6th house of health and work became very influential on the 22nd of last month and becomes even stronger in December. This is a very appealing aspect for job seekers and for those who employ others. Job opportunities (and job applicants) seem plentiful. It will also be very beneficial to concentrate take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. Invitations, work presentations and stepping out of your comfort zone to elevate your status will prove successful.

Romance is good this month, and the workplace could prove to be a positive venue for discreet romance, because Saturn is getting much positive planetary energy. The best days for love and social links are shown below, when romantic meetings and opportunities are most likely. On the 22nd as the Sun enters your 7th house and you begin a yearly love and social peak that carries you right into 2016.

Finances also look good. Until the 22nd, the financial planet is in Sagittarius, which generates an expansive energy – earnings should increase. There is financial optimism and faith in aspects located abroad. You spend freely (especially from the 13th to the 15th), but you earn more too. Money seems to come from the old-fashioned way – from work. Many of you may be considering a second jobs or second streams of income on the side – these seem plentiful. After the 22nd, as the Sun enters Capricorn, you become more cautious about money. You are less the free-spender. You want value for your cash. This is a good time to have a financial audit and to get a long-range view of finance and financial planning. Social connections become very important financially after the 22nd. You spend some time with rich people and they seem supportive. Your financial good (as well as other benefit) depends on the good graces of others – so your social skills are ultra-important now.

Parents or parent figures in your life should be a little cautious when doing any activity which involves risk from the 5th to the 12th. Mars is associated with dynamic aspects with Pluto and Uranus. Health matters become more delicate after the 22nd. The important thing is to have enough rest. Keep energy levels high and pace yourself through this hectic Season.

On the 22nd, the planetary power begins to shift yet again. This time it moves from the lower half of the horoscope to the upper half. This shift will become much stronger next month, but you start to feel the pull of your ambitions. Career gradually becomes more prominent again and progress will be made swiftly as you enter 2016.
The Festive Season will be busy, involved and somewhat hectic but overall a very happy and special time if you plan ahead and relax…Enjoy your self!

Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 25, 26

AQUARIUS

Venus, your family planet, crosses the Mid-heaven and enters your 10th career House on the 5th. You have excellent family support for your career goals. You might even be doing more work from home. The family as a whole seems more elevated now. A parent or parent figure is very supportive this month in helping your career. He or she seems financially supportive from the 10th to the 12th. A foreign, business-related trip is discussed and planned

Last month, as we mentioned, the planetary power began to shift to the east. This shift gets stronger after the 5th and next month will be even stronger. So it is now time to be more self-reliant and to focus on your personal interests. Your interest is as important as anyone else’s. It is time to assume personal responsibility for your own happiness. Day by day your personal power and independence grows. If conditions irk you, change them to your liking. There is less need to adapt or show as much flexibility to situations. Your way is the best these days and those around you agree. Co-operation and collaboration achieves a good break-through.

Health and energy are good this month. There is just one short-term planet in a stressful aspect to you. You have all the energy you need in order to achieve whatever you set your mind to. If you’re scheduling appointments or exams/tests, this is a great month for them (from the 11th to the 25th is best). If you’re involved in detox or weight-loss regimes, the 1st to the 11th and from the 25th onwards are the best thing days. Until the 22nd, you are in Aquarian heaven. Your 11th house of friends is powerful, and the cosmos impels you to do the things you most love to do and what you’re best at. Friends, groups and group activities are always enjoyable, but this month (until the 22nd) they are also the source of romance and romantic opportunity. This is a huge period to increase your knowledge of computers and technology, and to upgrade your equipment if necessary. It is also fantastic for increasing your knowledge of astrology, astronomy, mathematics and science or any esoteric subject.

After the 22nd, you enter a more spiritual kind of period. If you find yourself craving more solitude this period, there’s nothing wrong with you. This is just natural when your psychic 12th house is this strong. This is a great period to involve your self in charities or good causes, to go on spiritual retreats, attend meditation seminars or lectures and to grow spiritually. These kinds of settings become the venue for romance after the 22nd.

Be more careful driving vehicles from the 5th to the 12th. Siblings or sibling figures should avoid any risky hobbies or activities also during that period. They are also required to watch the temper and avoid confrontations.

Christmas Season fulfills your child-like desire for it to be light, fun, exciting and surprising all rolled into a happy and full day…You are greatly relieved. Happy Days!

ARIES

Career has been booming of late. On November, 24–26 Sun travelled with your career planet, boosting the career, bringing success and opportunity. But this was only a harbinger of things to come. On December 22 the Sun will cross your Mid-heaven and enter your 10th house and you will enter a yearly career peak. This is where you make real progress. Generally people achieve the clarity within career goals under good aspects. Generally career aspirations are a long-term project that requires much time. However, you will see excellent progress towards your goals during this auspicious phase.

Health and energy are steady until the 22nd but after that you will be required to maintain higher energy levels. Health becomes more delicate towards the end of the month. This month, from the 10th onwards, you can enhance the health by paying greater attention to the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment. A visit to a chiropractor or osteopath might be a good idea. A good back and/or knee massage will also be good.

Mars, the ruler of your horoscope, makes some dynamic aspects connected to Pluto and Uranus from the 5th to the 12th. Take it nice and easy during this period. Avoid risk taking and confrontations. If you look at the newspapers at this time, you’ll understand why.

Your financial planet moves speedily this month. This shows quick financial development. Things move swiftly. Until the 5th your social skills and connecting with other people are very important to you financially: attending or hosting parties and gatherings will help the bottom line. From the 5th to the 30th, it will be advantageous to use excess cash to pay down debt. However, if you need to borrow it will seem easily do so. There is respectable fortune indicated with estates, property and insurance claims. This will also be a suitable period to improve the finances, to eliminate waste and redundancies. Get rid of possessions that you no longer need and make room for the new. There will be opportunities to spend/invest in company shares and/or overlooked properties – you have a good sense of the value of these things.

Love is expressed during most of the month – from the 5th to the 30th. For singles, sexual magnetism seems the most important factor. However, most of our readers know you can’t base a valid, lasting relationship just on that.

Planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward this month. In fact, by the 26th all the planets will be moving forwards, which is very unusual. Your world and surrounding events move quickly these days. Normally this would be a critical period for starting new projects – especially after the 21st. However, for you it is better to wait until the Spring, making sure of your planning and strategy.
Christmas time will be relaxed, fun and very happy for all those concerned, little stress and much activity, which brings warmth and satisfaction all round. Super!

Best Days Overall: 1, 10, 11, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29

CAPRICORN

Mars is making dynamic aspects to Pluto and Uranus from the 5th to the 12th. Parents and parent figures may make unexpected demands, but try to avoid confrontations. There is a little short-term financial disturbance from the 9th to the 12th – perhaps some unexpected expense in the home or with the family. You and a parent or parent figure are not in monetary agreement, but with discretion it will be resolved quickly and satisfactorily. In spite of this short-term bump, finances will be a good thing and a financial surprise is possible as the Sun makes very nice aspects of Uranus from the 7th to the 10th. You will find the money to handle any extra unexpected expense. Your financial planet will start to move forward on the 26th and thus deals that previously seemed stuck now move forward. They should be more financially transparent then and much easier to achieve and close then before.

The planets are in their maximum eastern position this month and next, and so you are at the maximum extent of your personal power and independence. You are having your way in life. And you so should – you deserve it. Make those changes that need to be done, whatever they are, adjustments to routines, better health regimes, a clear-out of unnecessary goods and items, making way for the New Year that heralds a strong leap into your planned goals

Mars will be in your 10th house of career all month, signalling that you are putting in long hours, fending off the competition, and being more aggressive in career matters, your family members understand and show their support. Social connections are always important for you career wise, but after the 5th even more so. It will be advantageous to be involved with groups and professional or trade organizations as this helps the career and boosts your status. This is also a very good time to update on the latest technology as well, as this knowledge will be needed in the new year.

Many of you are having your personal new year this month, and the re-energised planets carry positivity for most of the 1st half of 2016 Your 12th house is very strong (as it has been since November 22) it is a good time to review the past year, assess your achievements or failures, correct mistakes and set goals for the year ahead, which will begin on your birthday. From the astrological perspective, your new year is your birthday, not January 1. Use this time wisely

Health and energy are effective this month, and get even better after the 21st. The liver and thighs are still a little weaker then usual until the 10th. After the 10th, pay greater attention to the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment. These areas are always essential for you but especially in this period. This is a very nice month for detox regimes (after the 21st) and weight loss. You enter a yearly personal pleasure peak from the 21st onwards, but you don’t seem likely to over do it.
A happy job opportunity comes after the 10th.
Christmas time seems to allow you to relax and enjoy yourself without stress or guilt and you are pleasantly surprised by just how much you enjoy the whole experience this year. Marvellous!

Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 21, 22, 30, 31

GEMINI

Health and energy became more delicate on November 22, and it still needs attention until the 22nd of this month. When energy is a bit lower then normal activities that normally can be done easily could become major labours. And if the activity involves danger – such as climbing ladders or handling knives or sharp objects – injury can result so please be careful. Your health will improve after the 22nd. Those of you who participate in athletics will probably not perform up to your usual standards. It’s no reflection on your inherent skills, just a lack of your normal energy. This will happily return to normal just after the 29th

Mars makes dynamic aspects with Uranus and Pluto from the 5th to the 12th. So avoid risky kinds of activities, arguments or confrontations during this period. People can overreact under these aspects. Surgery or a surgical procedures are recommended at this time if necessary, but, as always, get a second opinion.

These aspects of Mars affect computers and high-tech equipment. Make sure your files are backed up and your anti-virus software is up to date. Friends can have dramatic kinds of experiences – and require additional support from you especially if these experiences are quite unexpected and unsettling.

You are still in the midst of a yearly love and social peak until the 22nd, but, like last month, it is not a smooth ride. There are challenges and glitches in love, usually of little irritations, so try to be less over-reactive. Love should improve after the 10th as the mercury starts to make better aspects to your love planet. There is a happy romantic meeting or experience between the 24th and the 26th. There is more harmony with the beloved during that period too. Christmas will be a wonderful time.

Home and family life still seems happy. Family support is right and you are socializing more with family members and friends. Nonetheless, until the 21st your focus still needs to be on the career. Career progress will be useful all month, but especially after the 10th and up until the 21st .

Your 8th house of transformation and renewal is compelling from the 22nd onwards and you will want to take advantage of this feeling of wanting to improve mind body and spirit.. This is fantastic for detox and weight-loss regimes, and also for dealing with tax, insurance and estate issues. The spouse, partner or current love is also prospering this month. If you get some good ideas, this is a good period to attract outside investors to your projects.

It will be beneficial to do a serious house cleaning after the 22nd. The house cleaning should be physical, but also mental and emotional. Do away with possessions that you don’t use or need. Do away with ideas, thoughts and emotions that don’t serve your interests. These just clog up the works and prevent further development, 2016 could be the year to really achieve the break through you have been working for all year.
Your Christmas time is upbeat, light-hearted and thoroughly enjoyable, without angst or stress, you can sit back and enjoy the Season knowing all is going well in your world…Happy Days!

Best Days Overall: 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24

LEO

Job seekers had wonderful opportunities last month and there are more good opportunities in the month ahead – especially after the 21st. After the 21st, the party period is about over and you take a more thoughtful approach to life (seriously in Leo terms). You are placed in the mood for work and employers pick up on this.

Leos dislike details, but during this period you can deal very much better with labour-intensive tasks. So if you have detail-oriented tasks to do – arranging files, cleaning the hard drive, doing accounts or bookkeeping – this is a critical period to do them in.

Many of you are travelling this month – it is the holiday season after all. Nonetheless, refrain from making unnecessary trips between the 5th and the 12th, if at all possible. If not, then make sure reservations are confirmed and you have a clear itinerary.

Health and energy are strong now. After the 21st your attention seems to shift to improving what you already have. It would be good to initiate health regimes and diets during this period – focus on prevention and healthy lifestyles.

Overall you are in a prosperous cycle that will continue well into next year. Nevertheless, until the 20th there could be a few bumps along the way this month. The main danger is over-spending. Mercury will conjunct Pluto from the 18th to the 20th. This shows spending on the home and family. Perhaps there are some financial disagreements with a partner, spouse, parent or parent figure. However, this planetary aspect is good for short-term borrowing if you need to, and suitable for paying down debt, but Mercury will square Uranus from the 20th to the 21st, indicating some financial upheaval or disturbance so make sure your finances are right before-hand.

Perhaps an unexpected expense is incurred that forces a re-think, but if you are prepared then the impact is less. Also be careful as you also seem to have a small financial disagreement with the spouse, partner or current love now too. However, this is a short-term problem. Overall prosperity is not the subject. As Mercury moves away from his square to Uranus, he will start making valuable aspects to Jupiter after the 21st. This brings prosperity and financial increase. You will not lack for any material things this month.

Love has been fantastic all year and is excellent until the 21st. After that more compromise is needed with the beloved. You seem in disagreement over petty things.
Your love planet, Uranus, has been retrograde for numerous months. However, on the 26th it makes progress again, bringing more clarity in love. The love life will get much smoother next month and Christmas proves enjoyable and pleasantly surprising.

Best Days Overall: 1, 10, 11, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29

LIBRA

Mars, the love planet, makes dynamic aspects with Pluto and Uranus from the 5th to the 12th. Be more patient with the beloved during that time, as he or she could be having personal issues and upset. Be relaxed around any short-temperedness and patient with your understanding. Confrontations, temper tantrums and risky activities should be avoided where possible. But love still seems good and the beloved still seems devoted to you. After the 15th they seem to settle down and relax into the Season and the pressure is easing.

The month ahead looks prosperous. On the 5th Venus enters your money house and stays there until the 30th. This shows a particular focus on finance. You give the impression of status and success. You dress more expensively. A very nice job opportunity occurs between the 10th and the 12th. Your financial planet Pluto will start receiving positive aspects from the 22nd onwards. Next month will be even better and your financial planets continue to improve all aspects of you monetary world.

Your 3rd house of communication and intellectual interests became influential on November 22 and remains so until the 22nd of this month. Time to give your mind the stimulus it needs. It is nice to catch up on your reading and/or take a short course, seminars or workshops on subjects that interest you. This is a nice aspect for students above and below the University/College level. School students have struggled with homework this year, but throughout this month things go much easier.
Health needs a bit attention after the 22nd. As always, ensure that you get enough rest.

Many people report a sense of low mood around the holidays. There are various reasons for this – much depends on their astrological sign and what is happening in the heavens – but aside from that, the holidays tend to rake up old, unresolved memories. Old family baggage gets an airing. This could happen to your experience too. Sun moves into your 4th house of home and family on the 22nd. Rather than getting depressed, this resurfacing of the family baggage can be done to help you. Watch the memories that come up. Observe your opinions and judgements about them. Be an impartial observer. If the emotions are too strong and you find you lose your objectivity, write out your feelings (without censoring yourself) and then toss the paper away. You will feel much better and the niggly memories will lose their power.
Even this will not dampen your Christmas Spirit and you will be excited and upbeat during the Festivities. You are surrounded by love and comfort of friends and family and will hear from some-one who touched your life in the past, a very welcome re-connect. You enjoy the whole experience much more then in the past…Surprisingly!

Best Days Overall: 5, 6, 14, 15, 16, 23, 24

PISCES

You are particularly ambitious this month which is good, but beware of overworking too much. Pursue the career calmly. Delegate tasks wherever possible. Continue to pace yourself and watch any over-indulgence closely. Until the 10th social connections and your social skills are very important to your advancement professionally. But so is hard work and personal merit. The past year did not live up to all your expectations or recognition, but this month (and late last month) you achieved than usual and enjoyed some well-deserved support. As you take quite a lot of stress to the shoulders, and spine, regular massage will be good. A visit to a chiropractor or osteopath will make a huge difference. And it might be a good idea to schedule a visit to the dentist or dental hygienist. Health and energy will improve after the 22nd.

This has not been a year for instant, overnight success. But it is a time of continual, methodical, step-by-step career growth. And this is happening now. Not, all your career goals have been met, but you will see solid progress made and consolidated early in 2016. The long-term overview is required now with careful and strategic planning, so you are ready when the opportunity pops up as it will in the near future.

Finances are excellent this month, but you will need to carefully manage cash flow and overcome a small financial obstacle after the 22nd. Your financial planet Mars spends the month in your 8th house of transformation and regeneration. Thus you seem very involved in the finances of others, advising your spouse, partner or current love. He or she seems to have an influence on mutual finances. This is a nice month to sort out the monetary life. It is not more money that you need; but you will want to get rid of the waste and redundancies in your financial life. This is an ideal time to switch providers, streamline outgoings and make your money go further. Are you paying needless interest on your credit cards? Any financial instruments could be strengthened, reducing payments and interest charges. Do you have overlapping cable, phone and internet bills?

Perhaps these too can be consolidated and the payments reduced. Is your house cluttered with items you don’t use or need? Get rid of them. Sell them or give them to charity. This is a month for clearing out the material clutter. Extra cash should be used to pay down debt. Often loans or mortgages can be referenced in more favourable terms – this is a fine month to explore this.

You may also be called on to advice others about money matters and as a result you will receive an expected gift.

Christmas is a very happy and settled time as you enjoy the Festivities without stress or pressure. The overall Season proves a joyful, relaxed and fulfilled experience…What a surprise! Enjoy the Happy days!

Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 25, 26

SAGITTARIUS

A happy and prosperous month ahead. Enjoy!

The planetary power is at its maximum eastern position. You are at the peak of personal independence and personal power. Your personal goals appear to have seen a lot of cosmic support. You are having things your way these days and this is as it should be.

You are still in a yearly personal pleasure peak until the 21st. After that you enter a yearly financial peak – a period of peak earnings.

Though you have three long-term planets in stressful alignment with you, health and energy are good. Short-term planets are easing the stress. Until the 5th, you can enhance the health by paying more attention to the kidneys and hips. Regular hip massage/exercise would be good. From the 5th onwards give greater attention to the colon, bladder and lower organs. Herbal colonics might be a good idea before the Season starts properly. Detox regimes are more beneficial than usual. Appropriate attention to your health during this period, is about doing away with things that don’t belong in the body, so during the party-season be moderate in your habits. Spiritual healing or alternative therapy techniques will be a big help, if you feel a bit under the weather.

Love becomes more relaxed and welcome after the 10th. Wealth also attracts you. You show love in material and financial ways and this is how you enjoy expressing your generosity. Love and romantic opportunities happen as you pursue your normal financial goals and with people involved in your finances. There is a possibility for business partnerships or joint ventures that could develop out of these synchronistic events

Children and children figures in your life should be advised to avoid risky activities or hobbies just now, especially from the 5th to the 12th. Close loved ones should also avoid confrontations, watch the temper and drive vehicles more carefully. A nice, easy, relaxed schedule is required through December.

After your birthday, your personal solar cycle enters a waxing phase. Planetary power is mostly forward this month and the universal solar cycle will start to wax after the Winter Solstice. Thus (from the 21st onwards) you are in a very good period for starting new activities or releasing new products into the world.

Remember to switch off during the Festivities and concentrate on your home, family, friends and allow yourself to settle into the holidays by being open to receive the love, warmth and generosity that is coming your way…Have Fun !

Best Days Overall: 1, 10, 11, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29

SCORPIO

Many of the trends of last month are still very much in effect. The planetary power is currently in the eastern sector and Pluto is moving forward. You have power to create conditions as you desire them to be, to have your own way in life, to take charge of your own happiness. There’s no need to seek the approval of others. They will adjust and will probably support you. This is a time of having a life on your own terms. Even love is on your terms this month.

You are still in a yearly financial peak until the 22nd. Wealth and prosperity are happening, but you work hard for it. The good news is that you are prepared to put in the extra work, inclined to overcome any challenge – and this tends to achieve even greater success now. Fiscal goals will be achieved (or satisfactory progress will be achieved in them) and you end the year feeling very satisfied indeed.

Health and energy are super right now. More energy for all kinds of undreamt of possibilities arises – things, you never imagined you would want to do or even attempt. You can improve the overall status even further through spiritual therapies and through spiritual healers.

Avoid confrontations at work or with fellow workers from the 5th to the 12th. They can overreact to things during this period. Uncles and aunts (or those who play this role in your life) should avoid risky activities too during this time. They should arrange nice, easy schedules. Watch your temper then as well, as you could feel exasperated with those around you.

In the previous month the planetary power shifted to the lower half of your horoscope. Career goals have been more or less achieved, or effective advance towards them has been made. Now is the time to build up your energy for the next career push, which will begin in five or six months’ time. It is time now to deal with your inner needs, – the emotional and family needs. You are not abandoning your career but approaching things in a different way – through internalised methods such as meditation, visualization and controlled dreaming. Imagine that you have already attained your goal and stay in that state as much as possible.

Venus crosses your Ascendant and enters your sign on the 5th. This is fantastic for love. First off, it gets you to feel more attractive to the opposite sex. Males are attracting beautiful women into the life. Females are becoming more glamorous and beautiful. Love seeks you out and there’s nothing much you have to be do. You will enjoy a sense of balance and flow that seems to wash over you and support your everyday activities and there is a contentment which is achieved. The Festive period is both satisfying and exciting, with a real sense of pleasure and love expressed toward you and a huge dollop of gratitude from all those around you…Wonderful times!

Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 9, 17, 18, 25, 26

TAURUS

Health and energy are much improved now. Optimism is high. You are catching the lucky breaks in life. A happy and successful month ahead.

The shift of planetary power to the upper half of the horoscope becomes even stronger this month as Venus moves over the horizon on the 5th. At least 70 per cent of the planets are above the horizon this month. As a bonus, your career planet Uranus will start making progress on the 26th. Clarity in the career is clearly evident this month. Much progress will be achieved in coming months when you remain attentive to the plan and the focus.

Though technically your yearly love and social peak are over with, there is still good news in the love department. Venus, the ruler of the Horoscope, spends most of the month in your 7th house. You are looking out for others very much these days (which is as it should be). You are putting others first and you are more popular in general. You are not sitting around there waiting for the phone to ring but are proactive in all areas of your personal life. If you like someone, they know it. You can go out to get what you want. Pluto, your love planet, receives very subtle aspects from the 22nd onwards. Romance is happening or developing as it should, so settle in and allow the events to happen organically.

Your 8th house of transformation and regeneration has been prevailing since November 22. This indicates the prosperity of the spouse, partner or current love. He or she is in a yearly financial peak and is more generous with you. They are in need of financial reorganization and have been feeling squeezed money wise, but this is one of their better financial periods and it will show during the Festive season when their generosity flows toward you.

There are current issues which need to be re-visited before the end of the year – perhaps a project, a friendship, a family member or a health matter. This is the right time to work on these things. There is a strong sense of renewal and regeneration as you close the year and prepare for the new, this adds to your deep sense of wanting to put all your efforts in the early new year to things that you know have been neglected or unfinished. Many of you are involved in projects involving personal transformation and renovation. These projects go especially well too.

Mars makes dynamic aspects with Pluto and Uranus from the 5th to the 12th. This impacts more on the spouse or partner than on you. Let him or her go easy during this period. Advise them that they should drive vehicles more defensively and avoid confrontations and stressful activities until after the 28th. Christmas festivities are excellent and unexpected calls, cards or visitors make for a super and enjoyable time. What fun!

Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, 21, 22, 30, 31

VIRGO

Your 4th house of home and family became very powerful on November 22 and remains powerful until December 22. This signals the importance of family and emotional well-being. These should be right on the centre of your radar. Planetary power reaches its low point in your chart and, symbolically, it is midnight in your year. Outer activity is lessened. Inner activity is more prominent. The victories in life are won in the midnight hour; this is the place where they actually occur – they only become visible, manifest, during the day, which means the effort and hard work you are putting in pay dividends early in the New Year, keep up the good work.

When there is power in the 4th house we have an opportunity for emotional healing and cleansing. It is the time when we can be reconciled with the past. The traumas and pains of the past need not shape our future. In many cases, the so-called trauma was just a child’s interpretation of an event. When it is examined from the present, adult consciousness, the trauma loses its power. This is why the cosmos has arranged things so that the past can be thought about – reviewed – in natural ways and every year this happens. Even if you’re not overly concerned about the past, old memory will arise spontaneously this month, but at the same time be easily dealt with and surrendered…healing is evident bringing much relief to past hurts.

There is method to this apparent madness. This time of year especially with the planetary configuration allows to smooth release and empowerment from whatever you may feel has been holding you back or challenging you. The regeneration of your attitude leads to motivation and optimism that carries all the way into the New Year. Ride the wave with confidence and assertiveness. Great break through’s are possible during this time.
Health still needs watching month – a bit more than last month. But if you ensure that you get enough rest, and schedule in some massages or other natural treatments, you should get through with little affect. Health and energy will improve dramatically after the 22nd.

On the 22nd, as the ruler of the solar system, the Sun, enters the 5th house it is important to consider your house of fun and enjoyment, you begin another one of your yearly personal pleasure peaks. It’s party time in your year, so plan, pace and above all enjoy yourself, you’ve earned it!.

Personal relationships may be tested – this shows up a bit more in December, but it gets much easier after the 22nd. The holidays and New Year should be socially happy, affectionate, pleasing and pleasantly relaxed and comforting.

Venus, your financial planet, spends most of the month in Scorpio and the ruler of your 8th house of regeneration. Mars, passes through the month in your money house. This is a very clear message. Reduce waste and redundancy. Dispose of old possessions that you no longer need or use. Rid yourself of material that obstructs the flow of abundance into your life. Pay down debt. (However, if you do need to borrow, this is a good time to – your line of credit will probably be increased this month.) Keep fiscal interests of others foremost in your mind, especially related to business.
