We head into the last weekend of the year on an intense note, with a Full Moon inhypersensitive Cancer early on Friday morning. A tendency to take everything personally could provoke defensive attitudes, so do your best to make yourself and others comfortable to create a sense of safety. Familiar people, places and activities provide a security blanket that is likely to reduce tension and increase trust.

There are no significant planetary events on Saturday before the Moon shifts into bold and expressive Leo in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Night owls may be ready to howl with excitement with a serious dose of manic energy as the Sun approaches a conjunction with potent Pluto that tends to push us to extremes.

Some people may be staying out of sight, settling in for a quiet time to keep nerves calm. Others, though, could be in a mood to push buttons that stir strong reactions. Just understand that there’s a theatrical side to the proud Leo Moon, which adds drama to our emotions. Maintaining a sense of humor allows us to watch the show, or even play a central role in it, without taking it or ourselves too seriously.
