Stop, look and listen intently as a New Year dawns. Even though the Moon is in assertive, dynamic and fiery Aries, last night’s Mercury-Mars face-off as well as the First Quarter Sun-Moon Phase may be making you see double this morning. While caution was definitely a key watchword in the previous 24 hours, a thaw seems to be in the cards as the Sun forms an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with beautiful, ringed Saturn (12:19AM PST) while the Moon forms a supportive, 60-degree tie to love-enhancing Venus (7:04AM PST) and the Moon also chimes in by making a mind-expanding parallel to giant Jupiter (10:23AM PST). Literary and educational pursuits look promising tonight – courtesy of a flowing trine of 120-degrees between the Moon and Mercury in fire signs (8:57PM PST). If you are feeling a sense of constraint and limitation and don’t know why, you may want to chalk it up to a close Jupiter-Saturn polarity – from early Taurus to late Libra – that will never reach an exact opposition. For the next two weeks, these two largest planets in our solar system will appear to be approaching a 180-degree connection, but they will fail to do so because Jupiter’s forward speed will start increasing more than Saturn’s pace as the latter slows down and gets ready for a retrograde station on February 7. Nevertheless, Jupiter and Saturn already opposed one another twice in 2010 and once in March 2011. Therefore, the near-miss they are experiencing now is welcome news for all of us.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Dec. 30th
Learn to roll with the psychic punches as the Moon parallels Uranus (12:05AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces squares Mercury in Sagittarius (1:41AM PST) and the Moon opposes Mars (5:39AM PST). These three aspects may not be the most important ones in the astrological deck, but as a trio, they can shake up the status-quo this morning. In addition, the Moon-Mars polarity starts a fairly long void lunar cycle that lasts until 1:49AM PST tomorrow when the Moon will enter fiery Aries. Therefore, most of today’s activities take place with a Moon in uncertain terrain and meandering in the last sign of the zodiac. This can be helpful if you want to retreat from the maddening crowd and restore your soul-personality alliance via meditation and reflection. Productivity across the board can still rise – thanks to the monthly Moon-Ceres union at 2:31PM PST. This lunar rapport with the largest asteroid doubles as a support for changing your diet along better nutritional lines. Be more nurturing to maternal figures, children and pets in your family circle. Get extra rest tonight as the last day of 2011 appears to be a humdinger and not of the most exalted kind.
Your Daily Horoscopes for December 29th

It’s difficult to relax now because you’re likely to push up against deep resistance to change. Although you’re quick to blame others for your frustration, it originates within you. You might bury your head in the sand and pretend that you cannot understand what’s happening, but denial won’t solve anything. Instead, confront your fears so you can get to the source of your own psychological melodrama. Awareness is the first step in making positive change.

Your fantasies may take you for an intense trip through your fears today, yet you could come out the other side with a much more positive perspective. Still, this isn’t a light and easy journey, because there aren’t any guarantees that your current transformation will succeed. However, it’s not important to overcome all the negativity at once. Take time to assess your strengths and weaknesses so you can prepare for the future with a realistic outlook.

You’re more eager than usual to explore what’s beneath the surface in your attempt to understand your feelings now. The most meaningful emotional treasures are hidden deep under the veneer of social etiquette. However, you may become so fixated on the potential rewards that you push too hard. Unfortunately, your obsessive behavior today could upset a relationship. Take time to moderate your need for change with sufficient patience to allow the current situation to transform at a natural pace.

You may feel as if you’re giving birth to a whole new way of relating to others now, but this change comes with its own share of stress. In order to reinvent yourself you must confront someone’s control issues, especially if you are growing in ways that appear to threaten the status quo. On the other hand, you might be the one who is stuck, and you don’t appreciate anyone meddling in your affairs. However, there’s no need to hold on to the past now; it’s slipping away from you whether you like it or not.

You’re ready to go ahead with your plans now, even if you’re receiving mixed signals from everyone else involved. However, it isn’t a good strategy to push your agenda onto anyone else. Instead of progressing toward your goals, you could inadvertently agitate unnecessary emotional conflict. Just keep in mind that you may need to proceed on your own if your friends and acquaintances don’t understand your current passion.

You’re so concerned with making everything perfect now that you tend to plan more than is necessary. Unfortunately, placing too much attention on the details can spoil the fun by taking the spontaneity out of the day. Avoid getting swept into an unnecessary power struggle just because you believe that your way is the only way. Lessen the pressure on the current circumstances by consciously choosing acceptance over fear.

Someone’s unspoken feelings can mess things up today, even if it seems safer in order to avoid conflict. Unfortunately, the hidden cost of peace may be higher than you realize since jealousy or possessiveness can stir anger and resentment. The potentially negative energy is tricky to control because sharing can be as problematic as keeping everything to yourself. It’s healthy to talk about what’s happening, but don’t get so intense that you push others away.

You may be feeling overwhelmed with how many things you have to do now, but your intensity level is high and you’re committed to do whatever it takes to cross some tasks off your list. Unfortunately, you might disagree with someone who has a different idea of how you should spend your day. Actually, a willful Sun-Pluto conjunction can turn every interaction into a major drama today. Processing your emotions before you react enables you to control the flow of events.

You are determined to get what you want today, but it’s wise to recognize that acting in harmony with your core values is more important than material satisfaction. You might reconsider a recent decision and want to modify your course of action, but this can be complicated if you’re already in motion. There’s no need to panic, so allow sufficient time to alter your plans. Keep in mind that you didn’t get to this point overnight, and you won’t be able to change direction in a moment’s notice.

You are susceptible to the emotional intensity of today’s Sun-Pluto hook-up because it occurs in your sign. Even the most minor issues can be quickly blown out of proportion as tempers flare and passions erupt. You might become obsessed about having your way now, and you’re not willing to take no for an answer. Unfortunately, you could invite stronger resistance if you are too assertive. Being gentle and persistent is more effective than forcing your point of view on anyone else.

You might think that you’ll accomplish more today by sticking to your schedule, but it’s very important to remain flexible with your time. Your enthusiasm may be dampened if unforeseen events in the morning require you to abandon your previous plans. Making commitments in advance is a smart strategy as long as you know when to let go of control. Don’t struggle trying to hold your agenda together; instead, let it fall apart so you can put the pieces back together tomorrow.

Your dreams about the future are quite intense now, bringing excitement one minute and worry the next. You’re beginning to realize that your plans are not unfolding as expected. But rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, try to see this as an opportunity to reinvent yourself according to your vision and not someone else’s. Let go of past goals that are no longer meaningful. Instead, get ready to step into the year ahead by setting new priorities for your life.

A REQUEST TO THE LADY FOR STRONGER POWER
Lady Moon has spread her fingers of night over my patch of reality,
And she watches me as I stand beneath her encompassing gaze
Away from those who would cloud my vision.
Her sister stars glitter through the sky and sing for the night.
Mother, please fill me with your beauty and reveal to me the mysteries of your silent domain.
My heart holds naught but love for you,
My soul wishes to sing in harmony with its sisters within your embrace.
In love and respect I come before you
And I ask to be blessed with the power of Lady Moon.
Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 28th

It might seem as if you keep saying the wrong things today, even if your intentions are pure. You might try so hard that you lose your rhythm, yet you may not be aware that you’re out of step. Instead of spending too much time clarifying what you meant, rely on your actions, rather than your words, to get your message across. You can always revisit the issue tomorrow and explain yourself when you’re back in sync.

Your notion that everything will go your way at work is not just a wish, since your assumptions are based on facts and your conclusions are the result of sound thinking. Nevertheless, you can still dream up a perfect fantasy based on how you want things to unfold, so pay careful attention to how you embellish the truth. Luckily, you needn’t mislead anyone if you can catch yourself in the process before it’s too late.

Your ruling planet Mercury runs into an anxious alignment with exaggerating Jupiter, provoking you to stretch the truth. You might even believe that you’re clever enough to get away with bending the facts. But you’ll still have to deal with the consequences of what you say if others see through your story. Ultimately, you would be wiser to present your position as methodically as possible, without trying to step around any annoying facts. Being clear about your intentions right from the start prevents problems in the future.

Although your super-sensitivity can occasionally get the best of you, it’s possible to adjust your attitude as needed instead of blindly sticking to a rigid agenda. It helps to check in with your friends and co-workers to learn what they think before jumping to any premature conclusions. Once you incorporate valid feedback into your strategy, you’ll be better equipped to go ahead with your plans for the day.

You are aware of the hard work ahead, but you’re not all that eager to jump in yet. Part of the problem is that you don’t have a manageable plan because it feels as if the current situation isn’t very stable. It’s not necessary to make long-term decisions now; instead, focus on the immediate activities and do anything you can to positively impact the present circumstances.

Your confidence returns today as your key planet Mercury aligns with optimistic Jupiter. Nevertheless, you’re still acting cautiously because you don’t want to be disappointed later on. You have faith in your analytical capabilities, but you may not know how to balance a realistic outlook with unrealistic dreams. Don’t look to others for cues; instead, pay attention to your thoughts and avoid overreacting in either direction.

You like the idea of demonstrating the power of positive thinking, but you could take your enthusiasm to an extreme. Unfortunately, you could set yourself up for discouragement today if you try to reach too far. Letting go of unattainable goals is your first step toward restoring balance. Establishing a line between humility and self-confidence can be tricky business. Re-evaluating your strengths and weaknesses helps you be more realistic about manifesting your dreams.

You’re not overly thrilled with your plans for the future, but you’re capable of balancing your fantasies with the reality of your current situation. Even if you’re tempted to escape into your own illusions, you don’t have to lose track of where you’re standing now and where you want to go. Ironically, staying connected with the bigger picture will ultimately make navigation in the present moment easier to handle.

You are being lured into a dreamy world of illusions today, but the strength of your convictions is strong enough to keep you grounded. You may suddenly realize that you don’t have as many answers as you once thought you had, but this epiphany can work to your benefit. Don’t let go of your core beliefs; instead, use them as a moral compass to help you to find your way through these confusing times.

This season is a time of renewal for you, symbolized by the return of the Sun’s light. There’s no need to fear that setting your goals too high will set you up for failure, because you have to be challenged in order to shine your brightest. Nevertheless, your judgment might not be as infallible now as it usually is, so make sure you’re heading in the right direction before you go too far.

You could get caught up in a complex web of emotions today that feels more urgent than it actually is. Unfortunately, it may be impossible to walk away from the intensity and difficult to de-emphasize it. Thankfully, there is a simple solution; just avoid making significant decisions at this time. The drama will subside in a couple of days, allowing everything to resume its normal place in your life. Wait and see how you feel before making any major moves.

Your long-term goals may be totally unrealistic now, making it exceptionally difficult to turn your strategy into a concrete plan. You’re able to be hold on to your dreams as long as you don’t commit to a single path. But once you start focusing on what to do next, you’re confronted by the impracticality of your desires. Rather than losing yourself in an illusory world, use some common sense along the way. Paying attention to reality prevents an unexpected crash landing later on.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 28th
Mercury forming a supportive, 60-degree tie to Pallas (3:29AM PST) keeps those exalted, innovative Pallas vibes going full blast in the early hours. You can be a problem-solver extraordinaire. However, Mercury moves on to make a more abrasive, 135-degree tie to giant Jupiter (5:29AM PST). This challenging alignment – along with a Sun-Juno 45-degree clash (4:13AM PST) and Moon-Saturn parallel (6:18AM PST) – indicates that some psychic thunderstorms concerning communications, travel plans and educational interests may interfere with your forward progress this morning. Later on, inspirations abound during the monthly Moon-Neptune union in Aquarius (1:32PM PST). Any lunar conjunction with far-out Neptune can result in your receiving mind-blowing realizations that can literally change your consciousness forever. On the other hand, this Moon-Neptune merger also begins a void lunar uncertainty zone that lasts until 3:46PM PST when the Moon dives into the mysterious waters of Pisces. Once the alchemical shift of the Moon from air to water takes place, the Moon makes its monthly communion with healing-maestro Chiron (7:06PM PST) just a few hours before the Moon joins forces with soul-sister Vesta (10:48PM PST) and the Sun makes its annual union with underworld-ruling Pluto in Capricorn (11:44PM PST). This is quite an evening – with spiritual, investment and willpower vibrations at white-hot intensity. The lunar links to Chiron and Vesta are much more tender and sensitive than the single-minded, intense Sun-Pluto contact. Stay on alert throughout the night and into early Thursday to make sure loved ones are protected and that your words and deeds are of the highest caliber.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, Dec. 26th

You think that being more practical is a good idea today, but eventually you’re likely to give up and follow your dreams. It isn’t that you’re incapable of acting sensibly; it’s just your radical side comes out when the Moon enters unconventional Aquarius. Be careful; it’s not a smart time to burn bridges by alienating those who support you. Instead, find ways to speak your truth without starting a fight.

You may feel out of the loop today if others don’t notice your contribution. Thankfully, you’re patient enough to wait for the recognition you deserve, even if you do grow a bit frustrated in the process. However, losing your temper might be the best thing you can do now because it helps to clear the air. If you keep your annoyance to yourself, the tension could continue to grow. Just remember to express your feelings without blaming anyone else.

You’re quite focused on getting your chores done today, but you might have too much to do. You could reach a breaking point when you’re tempted to throw up your hands and walk away from your responsibilities. However, you won’t be able to escape from your commitments that easily. Instead of avoiding reality, demonstrate your persistence by sticking with your agenda. Checking a few things off your list is a good start toward alleviating the stress.

You are less likely to behave nicely just to get others to like you today. You are clear about your needs and are willing to take responsibility to achieve satisfaction. You typically might not be this assertive, but it feels natural now. Even if you’re confident that you’ll reach your goals, don’t be disrespectful of your friends and colleagues. Let the day unfold and wait until later to make the appropriate changes if things aren’t going your way.

You’re taking your work very seriously today and are committed to delivering on your promises. If repetitive tasks are on your plate, you’re ready to concentrate on them until they are done. But you’re as equally enthusiastic to jump into something totally new. Either way, it’s tempting to push the energy too far. A bit of sensible self-restraint is useful to maximize your progress no matter what projects are in front of you.

In an ideal world, you might want to schedule your day backwards by having fun first and then doing your chores later. It may be frustrating if you try to narrow your focus in the morning while the Moon is still visiting your 5th House of Fun and Games. But when she enters your 6th House of Employment this afternoon, you won’t likely be so eager to partake in any distracting activities. Grab the opportunity for enjoyment while you can and start your day with some playtime before heading off to work.

Personal or professional obligations may hold your attention during the morning, but later on you’re eager to shift gears so you can enjoy yourself. Scheming about your escape can be more fun than you expect, especially if you attack it as if it were a competitive game. Don’t rush ahead impulsively; wait until you feel the time is right before doing your disappearing act and following the plan you devised earlier in the day.

You might sense an unpleasant wave of energy way out on the horizon of your awareness, making it difficult to enjoy the day. Although intense emotions continue to build throughout the day, it’s not wise to push them away. Avoiding uncomfortable feelings isn’t smart because they’ll just gain strength if you do. Instead, express what’s in your heart, even if it isn’t what others want to hear. It’s healthier for them to learn your truth now than receive a watered-down version of it at some later time.

Although you may have to head back to work today or do chores that have piled up in your absence, the day should end on a positive note. Ironically, establishing sensible limits actually grants you additional freedom now. But, if you’re not attentive to setting healthy boundaries, you might have to take a defensive posture. Don’t delay the inevitable, even if it feels uncomfortable; clearly draw your line in the sand and prepare to hold your ground if you must.

The beginning of your day should go along smoothly enough, but someone may ask you to explain your values later. You could be resistant to talking about your beliefs because you’re still developing your position. It doesn’t feel right to climb out on a limb in order to defend an opinion that’s still unformed. Although you may have a good reason to stay quiet, your silence can be misinterpreted. Hiding is not the best strategy now, for it encourages others to misread your intentions.

The mood-setting Moon’s shift into your intellectual sign today is a reminder that your emotions are more important than you think. However, there’s nothing you need to change at this time. Just be thankful that you have an opportunity to experience your life to the fullest, even if you must engage in a passionate debate to defend your position. Sometimes your feelings can be quite confusing, but now you have something useful to learn from them.

You may be feeling stress that arises from your unrealistic desire to avoid your current responsibilities. Although you might dream of escaping to an exotic place, you could become upset when you realize that it’s impossible to take time off now. Don’t ignore your frustration or it can turn into anger and erupt again in a few days. Instead, find a way to slip away for a while, even if it’s only with an intriguing movie or a good book.
Your Horoscopes for Saturday, December 24th

Bossing people around isn’t the most effective way to demonstrate your authority. Being a successful leader comes from power that you earn when you are in harmony with the truth. All you need to do now is take responsibility for your own actions. Pay careful attention to what you say and how you say it because you are more forceful than you realize. You can have the impact you desire today if you take a gentler approach.

You might think that you know how your day will unfold, however, an unexpected event may require you to modify your plans. But don’t just change everything all at once; overreacting will only make things worse. Minor adjustments that are well aimed are more useful, even if you don’t see immediate results from your actions. Nevertheless, you still should be able to reach your goals if you step back and broaden your perspective.

You may experience self-doubt today if your day deviates from your ideal schedule. You might even wonder if all your efforts over these last few weeks have moved you closer to your goals or have been an exercise in futility. Your key word now is patience; don’t do anything recklessly just because you’re frustrated with the apparent lack of progress. You’ll begin to feel more productive as you start to see results from your recent hard work.

You are very sensitive to the reserved Capricorn New Moon because it lands in your 7th House of Partnerships. You may be feeling stressed out by a relationship with a friend or lover, especially if you each have different ways of approaching conflict. Thankfully, persistence is rewarded now, and your willingness to face a difficult issue could actually bring the two of you closer together. Even if interactions seem strained today, sticking with the process can result in feelings of accomplishment.

Your usual weekend routine may be turned inside out today as the New Moon activates your 6th House of Habits. You don’t like the idea of doing things differently now, so a change of pace might be upsetting at first. However, shaking up old traditions can reveal details that alter your perspective on the holiday season. Don’t waste too much time looking back; it’s useless to judge your past harshly. Instead, look ahead and change the way you respond in the present moment.

Today’s calculating Capricorn New Moon occurs in your 5th House of Self-Expression. If you have been waiting for the best time to share something dear to your heart with someone special, this is your moment. Finally, after much careful deliberation you’re ready to show your cards. Remember, keeping secrets now prevents you from having a shot at success, so be honest and give yourself the chance you deserve.

It may appear as if your personal life isn’t going exactly as you had hoped today, but you’ll eventually get what you want with the ambitious Capricorn New Moon visiting your 4th House of Foundations. However, satisfaction could still take a while because now you are building a solid base for future operations. Keep in mind anything that is truly meaningful is probably well worth the wait.

Today’s stabilizing Capricorn New Moon activates your 3rd House of Communication, encouraging you to establish a reliable framework for interactions with close friends and family. It may be time to put difficult conversations on the table, especially if your relationships have been strained by uncomfortable discussions that you have been avoiding. However, don’t push for closure now; allowing the intensity to soften will help you reach a more palatable resolution.

If your path has recently been blocked by obstacles, the resistance is finally beginning to dissipate. It may appear as if your luck is improving, but it’s probably the result of all the hard work you’ve been doing over the past couple of months. Thankfully, now you should be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor. But don’t expect too much too fast as you continue to build on your accomplishments.

Today’s pragmatic Capricorn New Moon might lead you to believe that you’re in charge, but events of the day suggest otherwise. You may have recently given up significant control over your life, but it only gets crazier if you think that you can put everything back in order now. Don’t waste time getting excited about what’s ahead or being sad for what you’ve left behind. Instead, maintain a positive attitude in the present moment where your thoughts are busy creating your future.

The conservative Capricorn New Moon’s visit to your 12th House of Karma could stir up issues from your past. Unfortunately, you might not recollect events as they really occurred since your imagination is bending the truth out of shape. Everything may seem overly important now, as if this present moment is more significant than all others. It’s healthier to take the current truth with a grain of salt, for your perspective will return to normal in the days ahead.

Your world may seem a bit surreal now because you’re able to see further into your future as the Capricorn New Moon stirs your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams. Fortunately, you can use your imagination to create the next phase of your life. Although you might be tempted to lose yourself to fantasies, you can improve your chances for success by being practical while developing your vision of tomorrow.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 24th
Dreams can stir your soul this morning – thanks to a Moon-Neptune 60-degree liaison (3:37AM PST). At the same time, the Moon enters a short void cycle that lasts until 5:48AM PST when the lunar orb enters earthy Capricorn. The good news is that less than one hour later, the Moon trines Jupiter in Taurus (6:25AM PST) – invigorating your self-confidence and power of positive thinking. Nevertheless, the extreme dark-of-the-moon vibrations are in control for the next 3+ hours – signifying a need to complete odds and ends before the New Moon arrives at 10:08AM PST – activating 3 degrees of Capricorn. Once the New Moon is a rock-solid reality, it is fine to push forward with bold plans across the board. You have terrific success vibes encircling you – as long you know how to wield spiritual willpower and mental concentration that come from the monthly Moon-Pluto union (5:44PM PST). The evening carries a fantastic glow – especially in romance, the creative arts and social activities – as the Moon parallels Venus at 11:59PM PST. If you need to be concerned about one thing, make it the fact that Jupiter is still officially in retrograde motion until the clock strikes 2:09PM PST tomorrow. This upcoming Jupiter shift will help you make a great leap ahead over the coming weeks.
New Moon Report for December 24 – New Moon in Capricorn

New Moon in Capricorn
Saturday, December 24, 10:06 am PST, 1:06 pm EST
The New Moon in orderly Capricorn is usually good for establishing long-term plans and making the commitment to stick to them. Yet this lunation’s union with transformational Pluto and square with revolutionary Uranus doesn’t fit the conservative profile associated with this sign. Breaking down barriers by tapping into the depths of desire and acting with originality is possible now. Generous Jupiter in Taurus’ harmonious trine to this Sun-Moon conjunction adds a strong dose of common sense and optimism needed to radically change the world in constructive ways.
The Capricorn New Moon symbolizes our New Year resolutions as we aim to reach toward higher levels of success. This gathering of force from the depths of darkness motivates us to greater heights of achievement to come. Yet this year we are building new ladders to climb and inventing goals to pursue as we wed the indomitable sense of purpose of this sign with the innovative and transformational forces of Uranus and Pluto. The hope inspired by the direct turn of Jupiter, the cosmic Santa Claus, reminds us to count our blessings.
Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 23rd
Every so often the universe quiets down and goes on hiatus. This is happening today as the cosmos reveals a Sun-Vesta 60-degree rapport (4:32AM PST) followed 5+ hours later by a Sun-Chiron 60-degree rapport (9:49AM PST). Then – to reinforce these two 60-degree aspects – Vesta unites with Chiron at 2 degrees of Pisces (6:16PM PST). Fundamentally, you have a pretty open track to do your thing in this 24-hour time-period. The Moon transiting in Sagittarius continues to strengthen your optimistic mind-set and a happy-go-lucky temperament. Meanwhile, the Sun-Vesta and Sun-Chiron aspects help you work with soul-sisters and holistic healers who can nurture your mind-heart-body connections. In addition, you can make gains on the investment and business horizons. The Vesta-Chiron conjunction is fairly rare and suggests that soul-searching and in-depth studies are advised tonight. Don’t be surprised if visions and intuitive flashes inundate your consciousness. Learning more about Zen Buddhism, oracles, sacred dance, mantras, talismans, ETs, UFOs and esoteric brotherhoods and sisterhoods makes sense. Gear up for a potent weekend as the Capricorn New Moon of Saturday will lead to Jupiter’s shift from retrograde to direct motion on Sunday.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 22nd
There’s no sense dashing out of the starting gate too early as the Moon in Scorpio starts a void cycle at 1:50AM PST by squaring dreamy Neptune. This lunar uncertainty zone lasts until 4:04AM PST when the Moon enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius. The Moon in the ninth zodiacal sign signifies a boost for fun, games and sports. Outdoor adventures and explorations are back in vogue. If erotic impulses shock your nervous system this morning, it is probably related to the Moon parallel to love-goddess Venus (4:39AM PST). This stellar contact is also a boost for your creative artistic expression across the board. More good news arrives this morning as the Sun forms a flowing trine to giant Jupiter in earth signs (6:34AM PST) while the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree alliance with Venus (7:54AM PST). Golden opportunities are ripe for the picking. Love birds may experience some ruffled feathers due to a frictional, 135-degree contact from Venus to Mars (12:31PM PST). While you may be nursing any minor wounds from emotional upsets, the Sun squares revolutionary Uranus (2:15PM PST). Shock waves and surprises are always par for the course when the Sun and Uranus face off in a 90-degree aspect. Expecting the unexpected is one way to stay prepared. Advanced studies in almost any field of knowledge will send you to the head of the class. Immerse yourself in a biography or literary classic as the Moon makes its monthly union with Mercury (7:11PM PST).

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 20
Following a short void lunar cycle in Libra – stretching from 1:50AM PST to 2:34AM PST (when the Moon enters Scorpio) — the universe goes on the offensive as a large number of alignments energize the rest of the morning, afternoon and evening. With the lunar Scorpio backdrop of tuning into secrets and mysteries via your detective skills, you can also widen your circle of friends and become more involved in global causes close to your heart as Venus enters Aquarius (10:27AM PST) until January 13. Open the gates to your enhanced psychic abilities and creative imaginative prowess as the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with far-out Neptune (12:47PM PST) while Ceres also makes a parallel to Neptune (3:37PM PST). Explore your talents in photography, film and video work, music, art, poetry, calligraphy and dance. Over-optimism can land you in hot water when Venus squares Jupiter (6:20PM PST). Don’t let these two traditional beneficial planets rain on your parade. Better news will arrive at the tail end of the evening when Vesta makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Jupiter (11:17PM PST) a little before Venus makes a similar contact with surprise-bringer Uranus (11:58PM PST). These two aspects toward the end of this 24-hour time-period are tremendous catalysts that can pad your bank account and help you increase the value of your assets. Start gearing up for the shift by giant Jupiter from retrograde to direct motion in Taurus on Sunday December 25.
Daily Horoscopes for Monday, December 19th

You may believe that someone’s blocking your path to happiness today, but this point of view could be your way to avoid taking responsibility. Don’t place blame on others; instead, look within to gain understanding about your causal role in the present situation. Ironically, altering your own attitude might be the most sensible way to improve your current circumstances.

You might think that you don’t have many options today. Fortunately, your willingness to work within the restraints of the current situation makes your life easier until you can figure out how to make some changes. You may be patient, but you won’t be able to continue holding out for too long. There’s no need to give up your power now and just accept the status quo; instead, take a risk if you are sure that you know what you want.

You may be tempted to play today, but you won’t likely be able to take time off for fun. You are driven to keep your guard up now as you’re pulled from one unstable demanding situation to the next, without much time in between. Thankfully, you still can have a stabilizing impact on others if you set your personal desires aside so you can focus on the common good.

Your personal concerns take center stage today and dealing with them could distract you from your job. You might try to overcompensate by showing others how willing you are to cooperate with them, but they could misinterpret your flexibility as a sign of disinterest. It’s not wise to keep to yourself while taking the course of least resistance. Explain your position as succinctly as possible before you relinquish control.

You might feel as if you’re not in a position to get exactly what you want, but you still could feel satisfied. It’s not likely that you’ll be able to leverage your position to come out on top, but, fortunately, you probably won’t go down in defeat either. Whatever happens now, remember that there will be time in the next few days to reclaim any ground you’ve lost.

Your ruling planet Mercury is up to his trickster games today as he aspects confident Jupiter. You might think that things are looking good, only to discover that you inadvertently glossed over an important detail. Even if you know what’s happening, more is going on than meets the eye. If possible, delay important decisions now, because a renewed sense of clarity will return by the weekend.

You may be known for your indecisiveness, but today you are sure of what you need. Don’t hold back now; let others know your preferences, even if they might want something else. Conflict clashes with your diplomatic style, but at least you have the tools to stand up for yourself. Think about what you are going to say before starting to talk. You could be happily surprised when your wish comes true.

Today can be an important day for your finances, but you must be willing to stand up and state your needs clearly. If you don’t let others know about your goals, they are free to make incorrect assumptions. But don’t let the rules of social etiquette get in your way; speak your truth as directly as you can. Others will appreciate your honesty if you take a risk and share your point of view without editing it for political correctness. You may upset someone by stirring things up, but that is exactly what is needed now.

If you’re uncomfortable with the high level of concentration that your current work assignment requires, consider the source of your uneasiness. You might not appreciate how you’re being managed, or, perhaps, you’re just bored with your job. Your restlessness is heightened by your inventive ideas now, especially if you have no easy way to share them. Instead of climbing too far out on a limb and telling the whole story, write it down and save it for another day when your message can have positive impact.

You take your work very seriously and prefer to know that you are correct before you share your opinions. You want others to believe that you’re reliable, but now your thoughts are a bit erratic and you may not trust your instincts. Actually, you’re able to think outside the box today, making your current ideas very original. Unfortunately, they may also be a bit spacey. Keep your visions to yourself for a few more days to see how they stand up to the test of time.

Someone is not playing fairly today and there isn’t a lot that you can do about it yet. A co-worker may have hidden motives for whatever scheme he or she is plotting. Don’t try to force the issue even if you believe that something important is being kept from you. Stop struggling; instead, let the events play out on their own. Everything you need to know will become obvious in time.

You may be the rebel in your group today, but you might not be aware of your role yet. If you’re working with a team, everyone else may seem more conservative than you are. You don’t intend to create trouble, but something you say could inadvertently let the truth slip out. Remember, once you speak your mind, you cannot take it back. But don’t worry; you will feel better after everything is out in the open.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, December 16th
It’s difficult to exercise caution today because optimistic Jupiter tempts us to take unnecessary risks when it forms an uneasy sesquisquare with energetic Mars. Nevertheless, we’re a bit skittish as Mars in critical Virgo motivates us to refine our plans rather than pursuing our goals. Meanwhile, the Moon’s visit to Virgo encourages us to limit our options. We may think that we’re playing it smart, but inaction only increases our frustration.

If you have been thinking about purchasing something special for yourself, you might impulsively decide to buy it today. However, your standards are rigid now, so it’s necessary to convince yourself that your current acquisition is not frivolous. It’s better to spend your money on tools for work than on something you don’t really need. Ultimately, it’s wiser to conserve your resources, so don’t be afraid to buck the tide and say no.

Although you want to put your life back in order, you probably can’t regain control over everything today. Your pragmatic common sense tells you to be cautious, but friends are encouraging you to make commitments without worrying about fulfilling them until later on. You might be able to improve your production pace by squeezing out a little more effort every day; however the possible negative impact on your life isn’t worth the tradeoff. Once you choose your priorities, establish clear boundaries so that everyone knows exactly what to expect.

You may believe that staying in motion keeps you relatively safe, as if instant karma can’t hit you while you’re moving. Even if you are enthused about living in such a dynamic time, you can grow tired of having to always be on the run. You might notice today that you’re longing for more relaxing times. Fortunately, you have the power to make the choice to wean yourself from high-adrenaline situations so you are able to live a longer and happier life. Be proactive and start now.

You might be tempted to jump into a project at work today if you have already created a detailed plan to ensure your success. You can manage your resources well, even if your friends pull you in several directions. It’s extremely difficult to pass by an opportunity that looks too good to ignore. However, following your instincts could lead to trouble if you wander too far off track. Avoid the disappointment that comes from overindulging your fantasies by buckling down and following your agenda, instead.

You may be able to visualize the finished results on a big project today, yet any attempts to take a shortcut could be met with swift retribution. It’s a smart strategy to move past the flush of excitement about a new career direction so you can get down to serious business now. Don’t dilly-dally; it’s time to build a solid foundation in order to reach your impressive goals.

You’re rejuvenated by the Moon’s return to practical Virgo and can now create a strategy for living defensively. Although green lights seem to appear at every intersection today, you are wise to tap the brakes and look each way before continuing on. Don’t be distracted by good news; even if your future is looking fantastic, stop to check your map before blindly driving forward.

Your extravagant behavior today may be an overreaction to hide your fears about what’s ahead. Fortunately, you could realize the extraordinary effect that your thoughts have on the future, leading you to choose fun and games over doom and gloom. Nevertheless, your attention is also required on matters of deeper concern, so don’t go off and bury your head in the sand. Balance optimism with realism for optimum results.

You may think that you would be better off training for the marathon of your life that you believe is just ahead. But you might also conclude that it’s a good idea to enjoy yourself while you can, for you don’t really know what’s around the next corner. While considering these opposite perspectives, remember that your point of view continues to change, too, so every decision needs to stand on its own merits.

Your optimistic outlook is encouraged by eager Mars’ aspect to your key planet Jupiter. Although you want more facts today, you might not have time to properly integrate them into your plan. However, you also want to establish new priorities to reduce the stress of having too much data. Instead of reaching out even further, limit your field of possibilities and take steps to utilize what you already know.

You may believe that you’re regaining your stability now, just as a wave of big ideas washes in to sweep you off your feet. Ironically, you’re optimistic about your future, even if the current circumstances feel unsettling. Be careful about what you believe, for you could be influenced by those who seek blind support for the party line. Instead of following the herd, think for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Although your future is looking better all the time, it’s wise to tread carefully since you could be building your strategy on incomplete data. Receiving praise from a powerful person is wonderful, but others may have their own reasons for giving you positive feedback now. Maintain a healthy attitude about your work, but don’t allow your strong desire for success to cast a rosy glow over reality. A practical approach will serve you much better than running from the truth.

Your friend or co-worker may be overly critical of your actions today, but you might disregard other people’s negative comments because you think they’re being unrealistic or judgmental. Instead of learning from constructive feedback, you’re tempted to discredit anyone who doesn’t support your efforts. Keep in mind that your apparent adversaries could be much more helpful than you realize, so listen to the advice you receive and use it to make your position even stronger.
Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 16th
From last night’s Moon-Jupiter trine from Virgo to Taurus to this morning’s Moon-Pluto trine from Virgo to Capricorn (7:56AM PST), there is a grand triangle hovering in the sky and offering you success and achievements in the business and professional realms. However, Mercury is only now beginning to gain much in the way of daily speed and three potential drawbacks occurs as Mars makes a frictional, 135-degree connection to Jupiter (8:02AM PST) while Vesta makes a rare union with Neptune in Aquarius (8:18AM PST) and the Moon unites with Mars in Virgo toward the end of the day (11:35PM PST). Trying to push your own agenda too far too fast can backfire. The Vesta-Neptune rapport suggests that by using your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity golden opportunities for forward progress can be made on the investment front. However, dashing ahead without a coherent game-plan or letting impatience take control won’t bring you deserved rewards. It is also wise to stop worrying about a wide variety of problems. Under Virgo Moon, this worry factor can doom almost any otherwise sensible enterprise. While you are wiping out worry, make sure you also eliminate criticism of self or others. This shadow side of the Virgo realm is another area of life that acts as a destroyer for our daily hopes. Reflection and contemplation during this lunar dispensation can remind you of the simple joys that make life worth living.
Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 15th

The bold Leo Moon’s presence in your 5th House of Love and Creativity empowers you to make time for an artistic project or to pursue a romantic interest. Either way, you’re eager to express what’s in your heart today. However, your plan may run into problems if you don’t clearly define what you want. If you are specific when describing your needs now, your chances for fulfillment are much better.

A complicated relationship may turn sour for a short while today, but this is no cause for worry because things will probably improve pretty quickly. You might feel as if you are trying to adjust to the current instability of a partnership, but your anxiety won’t go away until you gain more security. It’s difficult to know how much to talk about and how much you should keep to yourself. Begin slowly; you can always take the conversation to the next level later on.

Even if you are normally easygoing, you’re more irritated today if others don’t realize that you are taking on more responsibilities. Although you wish that you could leave work early, you may need to pitch in to cover for someone’s lack of productivity. But don’t blame anyone else; just keep doing what makes the most sense for the good of everyone involved. Set aside your personal preferences now to demonstrate your willingness to be a team player.

You may feel good about what’s happening at work today, but you still must deal with a personal financial issue or you won’t be able to relax. Others might not be too sympathetic to your current plight at first because they only see your positive side and the productive results of your efforts. Nevertheless, it isn’t helpful to cover up your fiscal concerns. Sharing your worries can deepen a relationship, but you still must take care of the practical issues on your own.

You’re able to charm your way through an awkward situation today, provided that you don’t act as if everything is all about you. Although it may be challenging to widen your perspective to include other people’s points of view, you still must try if you want to be successful now. Your chances of overcoming adversity increase if you are also sensitive to the needs of those closest to you.

You may feel as if you’re at the end of your rope now, but you’re not ready to let go yet. Nevertheless, you might be required to eliminate an outmoded emotional habit to alleviate your stress today. You could believe that making a few minor adjustments will allow you to move on, but more drastic measures will probably be necessary. Don’t wait; address the big picture while you still have time.

You may be thrilled with the possibility of negotiating a manageable truce in your life as you stand between opposing factions. This could be as simple as settling a family argument or as complex as working out the details to an international treaty. Either way, it becomes more apparent as you get further into the process that establishing common ground isn’t all that easy today. Don’t get too discouraged now if it takes longer than you expect to broker a solution.

Your workmates may be pressuring you to participate in a group activity today, but you don’t want to be distracted from taking care of unfinished personal business. Fortunately, you’re able to maintain the status quo, even if you must speak a few harsh words to make yourself clear. Thankfully, others should back off enough to give you the room you need once you express what’s on your mind.

You are pretty clear about what you want to do next, but you may also need to acknowledge the possibility that you’re overstepping your limits or someone else’s boundaries today. Overextending yourself isn’t helpful on your quest; you won’t reach your goals any faster. It’s smarter to demonstrate a bit of self-restraint now, rather than waiting for reality to stop you in your tracks.

You can grow anxious when someone’s expecting you to put on a show. Whether you’re supposed to give a professional presentation or just casually entertain at a party, you’re not that interested in being in the public spotlight now. However, hiding in the shadows isn’t in your best interest today. Change your attitude and stay open to any recognition that you receive, because a little fame can bring good fortune down the road.

It may appear that others are encouraging you now, but as you start to put your plan into motion, they might decide to not show up. This is tricky territory because you can’t just go chasing after the approval you want today, for the more you pursue it, the faster it recedes. Remember that the urgency is only within your mind; you have more time than you think.

You may be getting tired of showing up with a smile at work and still being told that you’re the negative one. You believe that others might be projecting their fears onto you and you don’t want to take it any longer. But it doesn’t matter who is in the right; everyone involved needs to step back from the current situation to get some breathing room. Let the dust settle for a couple of days before jumping back into the fray.
Cosmic Calendar for December 15th
Last night’s Mars-Saturn contra-parallel has some staying power and can give you the creeps, so-to-speak. Any time the two traditional malefic planets combine their influence, the urge to be rash and to control may form a diabolical configuration. However, coming to a partial rescue is a Moon-Jupiter parallel (1:07AM PST). Similar to a zodiacal union between the lunar orb and the largest planet, this Moon-Jupiter rapport gives you feelings of self-confidence and enthusiasm. Adding to the morning upbeat vibrations is a Sun-Moon trine in fire signs as the two lights form their 120-degree connection from Sagittarius to Leo at 8:07AM PST. Unleash your creative skills in an unusual artistic medium or play a favorite musical instrument with flair. Watch out for rising volatility around the time of a Moon-Mars parallel (12:46PM PST). Later on, confusion may be engulfing a key partnership as the Moon in Leo makes its monthly opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (5:21PM PST). Haziness on your part won’t help the situation. Fortunately, this Moon-Neptune polarity – which starts a void lunar cycle lasting until 8:00PM PST – won’t remain influential for more than a couple of hours. By the time the Moon enters industrious and meticulous Virgo at 8:00PM PST, you can now focus attention on the small details in life that either sustain your prodigious efforts or send you off on wild-goose chases for answers to subtle problems. Stock up on cereals, grains, tea, herbs, vitamins, supplements, nuts, seeds and seasonings as the Moon in Virgo trines Jupiter in Taurus (8:56PM PST). Literary and educational pursuits are reinforced. Be prepared for some new cosmic shenanigans on Friday as Mars locks horns with Jupiter while Vesta finds comfort in Neptune’s embrace.
Howdy Ya’ll! Have A Very Happy Thursday!

How’s my dear friends doing today? I hope fine. I have the sun is shining and your spirit is soaring. And I hope you are excited about our Blessed Sabbat that is coming, Yule. I know this year I am very excited about Yule. Or perhaps, I just forget how excited I was last. So I think I am more excited the next year. But I will be so glad when Yule gets here. I was going to mention this when Samhain was on the way but I didn’t. I think it is time to let the magick flow on this blog. Now I know you are wondering what I am talking about. I think everyone knows that we have the chatbox down on the right-hand side. I was thinking on the night of Yule, doing a simple ritual or blessing. It wouldn’t be anything complicated nor would it be anything to make you uncomfortable. All you would have to do is answer every now and then with a “So Mote It Be” or a “Blessed Be.”
We had an online ritual in the old group. You could feel the ower moving through the computer screen. It was an unbelievable experience. Since then, I have always wanted to do another one. If there is enough people interested, I will get a regular chatroom somewhere. That chatbox on the box you can harder read, I might do it anyway. Well there something to chew over! Think about it and let me hear from you. I would love to do another online ritual.
