Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, December 22

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

The Sun is transiting your career and reputation sector, dear Aries, where it will stay until January 20th, putting the spotlight on your professional goals and standing. What you have done – or haven’t done – is in focus now, and you’re ready to take care of business. You are more aware of the impression you are making on others and of your responsibilities. You tend to achieve your goals through personal effort, and rarely through favors, being somewhat of a loner when it comes to the pursuit of professional goals, and this trait may be emphasized now. There can be a business peak in the coming weeks for many of you. Today brings easy energy for work, but not especially high energy levels.

Taurus

Taurus

The Sun is currently transiting your adventure sector, dear Taurus, where it will influence until January 20th. This brings your needs for life experience, learning, and excitement to the fore. You may be exposed to many new ideas and schools of thought, and your tolerance for others and their viewpoints is likely to expand greatly. You might often think in terms of how you can add to your life experience through travel or other forms of adventure-seeking, learning, and connecting. The routine elements of your life may blur in your mind’s eye now, so be sure not to skip over important basics. Today is strong for feeling in tune with others and with life itself. You are expressive and creative.

Gemini

Gemini

The Sun has just begun its transit of your intimacy sector, dear Gemini, and will continue to influence this area of your solar chart until January 20th. Your focus of attention is likely to be directed towards life’s mysteries or hidden elements during this cycle. You can be less spontaneous and more strategic now, so take advantage by doing more observing and planning. Dealing with intimacy matters and sharing or support can be in focus, and this can be material or emotional support, or both. Avoid the tendency to look so deeply into matters that you forget to come up for air! Today’s energies are especially strong for private matters and intimate relationships, including family. There is a retiring quality to your personality until tonight, when the Moon enters your sign and you crave an emotional connection with the world around you.

Cancer

Cancer

With the Sun now in your partnership sector until January 20th, dear Cancer, you’re in a good position to tap into relationship needs that you may never knew you had, or that you have put on the back burner in your life. Your powers of negotiation are enhanced, as you’re more inclined to see others’ perspectives and points of view. During this cycle, how you relate to others on a one-to-one basis will be in high focus. It’s a time for honoring your need for others, and for temporarily putting your personal agenda aside. This may not be the most energetic cycle of the year, but it’s a good one for bringing more balance to your life. Today is particularly strong for communications, especially with friends and networks.

Leo

This is a time for taking charge of your daily affairs, work, and health. It’s a strong cycle for improving your self-care habits, as you are taking more pride in these things. Work is likely to be busy, but you are in control, so work it your way. Taking steps to improve your health, work relationships, and daily routines through better organization and focused attention is important now. Focus should be on tidying up and becoming more efficient. There is evenness to today that can be very pleasing, as well as an easy, pleasant focus on practical affairs.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

The Sun is now transiting your solar fifth house, dear Virgo, and this is the sector of your solar chart that rules romance, entertainment, and pleasure. This cycle runs until January 20th and can be a time when your pursuit of pleasure is ardent, and your desire to express yourself creatively is strong. Romance can be in strong focus for some of you. You’re inclined to want to put a creative spin or personal stamp on most of what you do. Games, friendly competition, and creative outlets are all more important to you now, and your powers of attraction are enhanced. The child within can be released, for attention and play. Today, the Moon is in harmony with Jupiter in your sign, and this stimulates your love of fair play, as well as your desire to enjoy life more fully. A trip or small adventure may be in order.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

The Sun is now transiting the sector of home and family in your solar chart, dear Libra, putting a strong emphasis on your personal life.

You have the chance to strengthen ties and to build your inner well. Family traditions hold more meaning for you during this cycle.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

The Sun is now transiting your communications sector, dear Scorpio, and will influence this area of your solar chart until January 20th. During this cycle, you may spend more time socializing or moving from one activity to the next than making serious headway in any one particular subject or project. However, it’s a great time for making contact and expressing yourself, as well as for learning a variety of new things. Your interests are especially varied right now, your attention is often divided, and your curiosity is piqued. It’s a great time for considering new ideas and finding new mental interests. If there are ways to improve your communications systems, you’re more likely to find them during this cycle. Today is particularly good for connecting with friends or a partner, and finding common ground.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

The Sun is now transiting your solar second house, dear Sagittarius, until January 20th. This is a building phase – a time when your energy and possibly self-worth is more heavily invested in practical matters, stability, and money-making capacity. Your ability to provide for yourself is highlighted now, and you can be quite motivated to build your resources and to provide for yourself and dependents if applicable. Security is a driving force for you right now. Pour extra energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. You are spirited and positive today, willing to invest time and energy into putting things into order. You’re likely to feel more sociable by tonight, when the Moon moves into your partnership sector.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph

It’s your personal new year and the desire to turn over a new leaf is as strong as the opportunities to do so. You are especially noticeable and your personal presence is big. You are likely to feel in charge of your life, more so than usual. It’s time to strengthen your drive, build your confidence, and improve the impression you make on others. This is a power period for you. Start the new year with a positive attitude. Today, with the Moon connecting to Jupiter, both in complementary signs and expressive sectors of your chart, you are particularly vibrant and creative.

Aquarius

Aquarius

You are in a yearly cycle of relative rest and reflection, dear Aquarius, with the Sun now in your solar twelfth house until January 20th. It’s time to heal, renew, and refresh your spirit, as well as to consider the elements of your past and present that you may want to leave behind in order to begin your personal new year fresh and strong. It’s a time of year for gathering your strength for busier times to come, and also for closing up projects, attitudes, or circumstances that have run their natural course. You are likely to take more time than usual to arrive at a decision, and this is quite natural now, as you need to get into deeper touch with yourself before jumping ahead. Today, some level of privacy and intimacy is especially rewarding.

Pisces

Pisces

The Sun is now transiting your solar eleventh house, dear Pisces, where it will stay until January 20th. This cycle is happy and goal-oriented. A lively agenda is promised, you’re attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others increases. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle, and you may find that your best work or thinking is done with a group or in a team. You are stimulated by all that is unconventional at this time, and your plans are especially original and progressive now. You may be coming up with new ideas, hopes, and wishes that you will later act upon. You may be especially interested in contributing to a worthy cause. Today, you are cooperative and communicative. One-on-one conversations can be rewarding and possibly inspiring.

Magickal Activity for December 21st, The Day of Yule

The yule Candle Traditionally, the Yule Candle was a very large ornamental tal candle, usually blue, green, or red in color. The candle should be large enough to last the entire Yule (Christmas) season. The candle should only be lit and extinguished by the head of the household. It is best placed on the mantle over the hearth or on the sill of the window in the front of the house. The candle must be extinguished with a candle-snuffer or pair of tongs; to blow it out will bring bad luck. Each night, all the members of the household gather as a family prayer is read and the candle is lit. Before retiring for the night, the prayer is again read and the candle extinguished.

Sample Prayer
Let hope and peace come with this light,
To illuminate and cheer the way.
For from the darkness of the night,
Will come a better, brighter day.
So Mote It Be.

JOY TO THE WORLD

And wake the sleeping earth, etc.

Our Light! Our Life! Our King!
Let every voice be lifted to sing his holy praises,
As Heaven and Nature sing, etc.

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, Solstice Night
All is calm, all is bright
Nature slumbers in forest and glen
Till in Springtime She wakens again
Sleeping spirits grow strong!
Sleeping spirits grow strong!

Silent night, Solstice night
Silver moon shining bright
Snowfall blankets the slumbering Earth
Yule fires welcome the Sun’s rebirth
Hark, the Light is reborn!
Hark, the Light is reborn!

Silent night, Solstice night
Quiet rest till the Light
Turning ever the rolling Wheel
Brings the winter to comfort and heal
Rest your spirit in peace!
Rest your spirit in peace!

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Monday Is A Day of Witchery, Magick and Enchantment

Think for a moment on all of the witchery, magick and enchantments that you have discovered. Don’t be afraid to adjust spells to suit your own specific needs. Any gentle, illusory, and dreamy charms and spells can be enhanced when you work on the day of the week that is dedicated to the moon. Mondays are a fantastic day to boost your psychic abilities and to tune in to your intuition and empathy. It also gives you the opportunity to work with a different lunar phase each and every Monday, which means in one month you could work four different types of moon magicks on Mondays. How’s that for adding to your repertoire? You are going to have mad skills in no time at all.

So light up those lunar scented candles and add a little mystique to your outfit by wearing an enchanting lunar color. Wear your sparkling silver jewelry and maybe add a pair of dangling silver earrings or a pendant shaped like a crescent moon. Create lunar potions and philters; make a dream catcher and give it as a gift to someone you love. Burn some sandalwood or jasmine-scented incense today to inspire the glamour and magick of the moon. Slice up a favorite variety of fruit that is in season for a snack or share it with your love and enjoy his or her lunar and romantic qualities. Brew up a cup of chamomile tea, enchant it with a little moon magick, and relax and get a good night’s sleep.

Most importantly, get outside tonight and watch the moon for a while. What phase is she in? What color was the moon as she rose? Why not start a journal and write down at what location the moon rises and sets for a few seasons? This is a great way to teach you to tune in and to become more aware of the moon and the influence that she pulls into our lives. Try calling on Selene for her magickal assistance, and call Thoth for wisdom and strength. Get to know the Norse Mani and the Latvian Meness. These gods of the moon have plenty to teach, and if you allow their influence to cycle through your life, you’ll receive many blessings. Be imaginative, and create your own personal lunar magick and witchery. Go on….the moonlight becomes you.

Monday

Monday

In the word Monday, we can see part of the word Moon. In the romance languages such as Italian or Spanish, this day of the week is called Lunes and clearly relates to the word lunar. On Mondays, a variety of magick may be worked. Because Monday centers on the energies of the Moon, things like psychism, dreams, feminine energy, health, success in spiritual pursuits, domestic matters, and things of family origin are especially important this day.

Mondays are best for love magick and anything concerning home or family, thus old saying, Mondays child is fair of face, which seems clearly to relate to the themes of love and health.

Angels of Monday are Gabriel, Arcan, Missabu, and Abuzaha. Arcan is known as the king of the angels of air and the “ruler” of Monday. Abuzaha (Abuzohar) serves Monday, and is very responsive to invocations and ritual magick. Missabu is a ministering angel of Arcan.

Check whether the moon is waning or waxing to determine what your spell will be. During waning moons, do spells to rid yourself of obstacles or for wisdom and protection. During waxing moons do magic for increase of any kind or to draw something into your life.

On Mondays, the best hour to work is moonrise. Get this information from your local newspaper, astrological calendar, or almanac.
