The first workday of December 2012 is a rather upbeat and opportunistic 24-hour time-span. Look for breakthroughs in higher consciousness — courtesy of a Moon-Uranus trine of 120-degrees from Leo to Aries (3:08AM PST). If you are awake and active at this time, explore high-tech subjects or learn more about advances on the cutting edge of science and metaphysics.  There is reinforcement of this expansive, mental state of affairs later on as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Jupiter (3:51PM PST). Everything seems to be coming up roses as the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Sagittarius proceed with a pleasant wave of cosmic goodness by their forming a harmonious trine in fire signs (6:05PM PST).  It probably won’t surprise you too much if the bloom comes off the rose shortly after the solar-lunar positive partnership takes place. Venus becomes the catalyst for change as it makes an abrasive, 135-degree tie with Ceres (8:32PM PST) while also forming a square to the Moon (11:39PM PST).  Whenever Venus shifts toward being more mischief-maker than uplifting benefactor, emotions and feelings are in shake-up mode and love bonds may become frayed temporarily. Hang in there as Monday evening morphs into Tuesday morning.
