Bear represents a time of reflection and stillness—a time of entering the inner cave of Self to contemplate life’s challenges. Bear often appears during times of confusion and unrest—those unsettling moments when you turn to everyone you know for answers—everyone except yourself. Go within, ask the hard questions—then listen.
We may be eager to celebrate the New Year with fun and frivolity now that the Moon is visiting playful Leo. But expressing our holiday spirit at a party won’t tell the whole story today because rational Mercury enters serious Capricorn this morning. Meanwhile, assertive Mars forms an anxious alignment with sensual Venus, encouraging us to ask for what we want. However, we’re interested now in meaningful discussions about issues of substance.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Although you want everyone to see that you are doing the right thing these days, demonstrating your good intentions can be quite challenging at times. Part of the problem is that you would rather be enjoying yourself than fulfilling previous obligations. Accepting your current place in the world isn’t easy if it involves hard work; nevertheless, it’s what you must do now. Playtime might just have to wait until after you prove yourself worthy.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
You know what it takes to be practical today, but you don’t really feel like doing it. Ultimately, your most workable strategy now starts with being aware of the divergent forces that are pulling you in different directions. Your natural desire to simplify your life could win out over an unnecessary emotional display, even if you want everyone to know what’s on your mind. Remember, acting with maturity and patience will bring you more happiness than expecting others to cater to your needs.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
It seems like you are dramatically running from one task to the next, but you may not be as busy as you appear. Your hectic pace is part of a strategy that lets others know they shouldn’t ask more from you now. Unfortunately, they might not understand and make additional demands on your time, anyhow. Try a direct approach and just say you cannot take on anything else. Your true friends will appreciate your honesty and respect your limits.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Even if you are usually fiscally cautious, it’s all too easy to forget budgetary restraints during the holiday season. Nevertheless, you might want to demonstrate that you are responsible with your money today, especially if someone has recently criticized your spending habits. Keep in mind that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to feel good about yourself. Bringing in the New Year with friends or family could be all you need to lift your spirits.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may be quite moody now that the sensitive Moon is in your sign. You could even swing from being very upbeat to down and out in just a few minutes today. But don’t take decisive action based upon your emotions, for they will continue to shift throughout the day. Enjoy the buoyant feelings while they last, but give them time to come to rest before making any choices that have permanent consequences.
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You might choose to downplay your confidence now because you believe it’s out of place in the current situation. Although compensating for your hidden optimism by acting with cool restraint is one tactic, consider the positive impact you might have on others by offering them a ray of hope, instead. There’s no need to go over the top, but, at least, take a risk by spreading light instead of fear.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Your kindness might win over a previous enemy, yet you could make matters worse if you are insincere. Friendly Venus, your ruling planet, is currently caught in a web of words and the more you say, the farther away from the truth you get. Although a magnanimous gesture may have a positive effect if you are well intended, don’t attempt to explain your behavior. Verbalizing your feelings now only detracts from the clarity of your actions.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Coming to the aid of those who look up to you sounds like a good idea, but your actions may not be fully appreciated now. Instead of expecting to be admired in the spotlight, try helping someone today without even being noticed. It’s not about recognition, even if it’s well deserved; it’s about touching the hearts of those who need it most.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
It’s party time for you today, but at least you have the good sense to realize that the fun times won’t last forever. You’re eager to create a memorable event, whether on your own or in collaboration with others. But don’t be disappointed if everything doesn’t play out according to your best-case fantasy since there could be some unexpected last minute changes. There’s no need to exert too much control because the new scenario could be even better than your imagined one.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You have probably experienced your share of intense drama this holiday season with the willful Sun’s connection to shadowy Pluto. Thankfully, the energy begins to lighten up today, indicating that the tide is changing in your favor. But instead of looking back and analyzing what has happened, shift your attention toward the future. Utilize your current creativity to visualize the year ahead. Paint in broad strokes and fill in the rest of the details later.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The fiery Leo Moon is traveling through your 7th House of Others, tugging on your relationship axis today. You may be lured into discussions about what you want, but your desires might not fit into someone else’s expectations. Luckily, you know how to detach yourself from an overly emotional conversation. Don’t waste energy trying to justify your actions; convoluted rationalizations will only further complicate your life. Let your actions speak for your heart.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Trust your instincts when it comes to doing what makes the most sense today, even if it’s counter to your logical analysis. You’re receiving instructions directly from your subconscious now and it isn’t necessary to understand the reasons for your current decisions. Your intuition is your greatest ally; just follow your hunches and don’t forget to enjoy the journey along the way.
The New Year’s Eve Leo Moon is shining in your 5th House of Romance to cast you in the bright spotlight. You can put on a fabulous show while sassy and sexy Mars are busy flirting with beautiful Venus. Sharing becomes more important this weekend with the gracious Libra Moon pulling creative people into your orbit. Being willing to compromise over small issues rather than fighting to prove a point, makes you so much more attractive in the eyes of someone special.
Saturday could be your best chance to connect in a gentle way as the lovely Libra Moon aligns favorably with your romantic ruling planet Venus. Sunday looks to be intense because you may be attracted by forbidden fruit. Exposing needs that make you feel vulnerable is a brave thing to do. Desiring someone dangerous or pushing buttons with your current partner may be risky, but makes your heart beat faster than sitting on the sidelines playing it safe. Just don’t let your adrenaline rush tempt you to cross lines you might later regret.
Your love life should be yummy from Thursday evening until late Saturday night with the inviting Libra Moon hanging out in your 5th House of Romance. Macho Mars is urging you to be extra adventurous on Friday when going too far might sound just about right. And even if you come on too strong, sweet Venus helps you smooth out any rough spots on Saturday when an enthusiastic partner shows up to please you. Discovering common interests together could turn out to be a lot of fun.
Making it through the noise of New Year’s Eve can be a chore unless you leave responsibility behind and let foolishness rule. If you’re not into games and parties, look for a quiet way to celebrate, instead. Late Saturday night is when your emotions deepen with desire. The passionate Scorpio Moon traveling through your 5th House of Romance is like a mysterious song that can’t fail to stir your soul. The power of your feelings helps you attract who and what you want if you are brave enough to express your heart.
You can roar in the New Year with the Moon’s presence in your bold and colorful sign on Monday night. Being loud and proud will be fun but toning it down is recommended over the weekend. The attentive Libra Moon in your conversational 3rd House makes listening to others the real key to intimacy. Opinionated people can push your buttons but staying cool is more inviting to romance than battling over beliefs. Seek common ground to make a loving connection last.
Giving up a little control can bring you a lot of enjoyment on Friday. Breaking rules at work or experimenting by shaking up your daily routine is a wonderful way to warm up for some unexpected pleasure. If you can keep your sense of humor and let go of doing things by the book, you’ll have fun with a rambunctious individual. Save the serious tone for Sunday when it’s time to discuss an intense issue that could shape the future of a significant relationship.
Warm feelings and weird ideas make your personal life more interesting on Thursday when the Moon moves into your gracious sign, bringing your feelings to the surface. Trying to smooth out problems is admirable but your time is better spent making yourself happy and seeking new ways to have fun. Use your imagination to invent a character for you to play who might take risks and say outrageous things you wouldn’t dare to try any other time.
Maybe New Year’s Eve seems silly to you but it’s better to be foolish and have fun than to judge other people. If you sit it out, you’ll have plenty of chances to rock the world starting late Saturday night with the Moon’s entry into your intense sign. Exposing your intimate secrets might shock some people, but will let them know exactly where you stand. Your blunt honesty cuts to the core of relationships, making the truth a very powerful instrument to be handled with love.
Your adventurous planet Jupiter is fired up by energetic Mars in Friday. There may be no limits to what you will do to have fun, which is fine as long as you’re with people who you trust. It’s wiser to show your wild side privately than to go too far in a public place. Your heart wants to say yes to anything this weekend, but use your head to avoid overestimating someone. Demonstrating some healthy self-restraint makes you more desirable in the long run.
You might as well wear a silly party hat on New Year’s Eve because it reminds you to take life less seriously. Just cutting loose without worrying about what others think is a great gift to yourself. The responsible role you often play returns this weekend, probably making you the social director of the group. But getting people to pitch in, instead of carrying the load alone, gives you the space to actually celebrate what you’ve created.
The cool thinking that tends to keep you from acting emotionally could be overheated this week. The fiery Leo Moon kicks up passion in your 7th House of Relationships on New Year’s Eve. On Friday, aggressive Mars in your sign is supercharged by a trine from gigantic Jupiter that can push you to risk more than you are willing to lose. Taking chances does widen the road to love, but if you’ve overstepped any limits, expect some serious discussion on Sunday. Start off with an apology first and then talk it out until you both feel better.
Saturday night’s cosmic energy brings a unique combination of emotional intensity and mental clarity to express your relationship needs more effectively. If you have a partner, he or she needs to pay attention to what you say in order to keep your trust. If you’re single and looking, having the courage to speak from your heart may scare off some people but will make you more attractive to a person who has the depth to fulfill your desires.
The last day of 2012 seems to begin with flair as the creative, loving presence of the Moon in Leo provides an undercurrent of sustenance. Venus forges an inspirational, 72-degree rapport with its higher-guardian planet Neptune (2:28AM PST) — giving the fine and graphic arts plenty of energy. Mercury leaves fiery Sagittarius for earthy Capricorn (6:04AM PST). This significant shift by the Messenger of the Gods lasts until January 18 and places an emphasis on cogent professional plans. Challenging alignments begin a cat-and-mouse game with favorable alignments — starting with a frictional, 45-degree link from Venus to Mars (11:47AM PST). Any discordant Venus-Mars contact can equate with rising stress between lovers and dear ones. Fortunately, the Moon in Leo forms a harmonious trine to Venus in Sagittarius (1:53PM PST). The hour or so before this link-up is exact offers the best boost for creative artistic expression and solidifying social affairs. However, this Moon-Venus connection also starts a long void uncertainty cycle that lasts until 9:36AM PST when the Moon shifts from Leo to Virgo. Meanwhile, highly-stimulating Uranus decides to take center stage for several hours when it forms a supportive and vitalizing, 60-degree alliance with Mars (6:33PM PST). Nevertheless, Uranus leaves that happy arrangement to formulate an ill-advised square with Juno (8:12PM PST). Yikes! Just when it seemed the universe was rallying to give human souls an extra measure of solace and contentment, boom — a lightning-like strike from the ancient titan Uranus to the empowering, peace-loving Juno may wind up creating a very tense, destabilizing psychic atmosphere. Yet the last word — belonging to the old year — goes to a nifty, 60-degree alliance from Mercury in Capricorn to Neptune in Pisces (10:51PM PST). Thus, it is wise and sensible to send out your healing thoughts and prayers for a year ahead filled with emotional serenity, peace of mind, and an enhancement of humanity’s capacity for empathy and psychic sensitivity for the deep needs of loved ones.
A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.
One of the things that most of us have in common–whether we call ourselves Pagans, Witches or Wiccans–is a belief in the female divine. Many of us also acknowledge the existence of a male divine, albeit one that bears little resemblance to the God we may have grown up with, but it is Goddess worship which sets us apart from other religions and brings us together in this one.
But which Goddess? There are so many names by which we call her, it can be hard to decide which of the Lady’s incarnations is best suited to our own practice and personality. Yet for many of us, the search for our personal Goddess is part of the path we walk as Pagans. How can we know which Goddess to call on in our prayers?
The first question to ask, really, is does she need a specific name at all? Some Pagans are happy to simply refer to their female deity as “Goddess” in the abstract, without attaching any particular name or tradition to her. (I often do that myself, although I have one Goddess who I worship primarily, and often call on others for specific tasks or holidays.)
There are a few benefits to this approach: it is simple and easy, you can be sure that your prayer will get to Goddess in one form or another, and you don’t have to worry that you are addressing the wrong deity for your magickal work.
There is certainly nothing wrong with calling on a general all-purpose Goddess. After all, most people who talk to “God” don’t call him by any particular name. If you are just starting out, or haven’t figured out a specific Goddess who seems right to you, then it is absolutely appropriate to address your prayers and spells to “Great Goddess,” “Mother of Us All,” “Lady of the Moon,” or any other generic term for the feminine one.

Monday belongs to the Moon. Monday’s energy best aligns itself with efforts that deal with women, home and hearth, the family, the garden, travel, and medicine. It also boosts rituals involving psychic development and prophetic dreaming.
*Monday (Moon): Peace, sleep healing, compassion, friends, psychic awareness, purification and fertility.
Moon Sign: *Leo
*Leo: Draws emphasis to the self, central ideas, or institutions, away from connections with other and other emotional needs. People tend to be melodramatic
*Waning Moon

Consecrate your dream journal to the elements. Inscribe inside it any personal symbols you wish and also this short incantation:
I will that this book serve to harmonize my spirit and mind. May my spirit flow freely through the pages. I shall discover myself here. I will find my balance and healing. I will experience joy and laughter. May love and light surround me. Blessed are the journeys. Blessed is this book. Blessed am I. By babbling brook, By flame and soil, By breath and soul, The dreams I have Are remembered whole.So Mote It Be!
You may anoint your journal with rosemary oil.
Air magick pertains to all things that travel through the air. This includes death, music, thoughts, spirits, dreams and invisibility. Other specialty areas include travel magick and twilight studies. The word twilight is used here to describe the state of mind when we are not quite asleep and not quite awake. It is a shift in consciousness that allows for the more surreal parts of life to come into sharper focus.
Like dirt and water, each type of wind contains its own primary properties. The magickal properties and purposes corresponding to the different types of winds are as follows:
Whirlwind: Whirlwinds run the gamut from gentle “dust devils” to full-blown tornadoes. This is a powerful aspect of wind to use; however, it is best to only use the violent form on the astral plane. This is the best wind to use to banish or destroy. Be careful with whirlwinds, even if only on the astral plane, because they tend to confuse.
South wind: The south wind is the warm wind of fire. It can work as an all-purpose magickal booster; however, it can easily cloud a situation. The South wind brings blessings of friendship. Singing into the south wind can facilitate contact with loved ones. It is the wind of celebration.
North wind: The north wind is the proverbial wind of change. It is the icy col wind of death and works well in spells of destruction or banishment. It is connected to the element of earth, and can be used as a healing wind. The north wind moves things forward in time.
East wind: The east wind relates to air. It symbolizes new beginnings and fresh starts. This is a good wind to use for matters involving intellect and self-improvement. It ushers in clarity and clears the mind.
West wind: The west wind is the wind of love and emotion. It relates to the element of water. Cleansing and divination are favored when the west wind is blowing. The voices of the dead are heard on the west wind.
We want to demonstrate our love today because the Moon enters heartfelt Leo at 2:45 am EST, but positive intentions only take us so far. Fortunately, exploring hidden feelings reveals buried treasure as the radiant Sun aligns with transformational Pluto and realistic Saturn. If we avoid our fears, we’ll shadowbox with an unknown enemy. But shining the light of awareness into the dark can prevent us from being swept up in the current turmoil.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You’re driven to set personal goals for the year ahead, without worrying about helping anyone else. You may incorrectly believe that the possibility of your success could be jeopardized if others also have a chance of succeeding. However, this faulty assumption comes from your outdated belief in a competitive model where there are winners and losers. Thankfully, reaching your destination is easier now when everyone works together for the common good.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
Your drive for adventure could become irrepressible as the Sun conjuncts unrelenting Pluto in your 9th House of Big Ideas. Your current sense of urgency won’t likely disappear even if you try to relax. Consider how to satisfy your needs without upsetting your life instead of denying your current wanderlust. Fortunately, enrolling in a course of study expands your mind without distracting you with unrealistic dreams.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
Steer clear of discussions about risky investments of time or money today while the Sun-Pluto conjunction rattles your 8th House of Shared Resources. You might believe that you will come out on top if you simply do your research. But flimsy schemes that promise fast fortunes should be avoided. Improving your position through a clever venture sounds eCancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
Today’s magnetic Sun-Pluto conjunction attracts intense people into your life and they could be significant to your personal growth. Friends or associates may reflect a part of yourself that you don’t want to acknowledge. Even if you want to hold on to the status quo now, dynamic changes are afoot. Relinquishing control enables you to flow with the strong currents, wherever they are taking you next.
nticing now, but greed could end up costing more than it’s worth.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You might begin a new diet today, even if much of the world is happily indulging in holiday feasts. However, you’re not in your usual party spirit now because you’re thinking about cleaning up your act. It’s not that you want to have less fun; you just know that you need to improve your health and you’re highly motivated to do something about it. Relax; enjoying the magic of the season won’t make you forget your long-term goals.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The intense Sun-Pluto conjunction in your 4th House of Emotional Security distracts you from your career-related goals. However, you must manage the complexity of the current situation to realize your fullest potential. Sidestepping an interpersonal issue isn’t a viable choice today because your frustration could lead to a crisis. Bringing secrets out into the open might be just the preventative measure you need.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re accustomed to high levels of intensity in your relationships, but occasionally avoidance is smarter than direct confrontation. Unfortunately, you can’t dance around your wounded feelings today, even if you are not comfortable talking about them. Luckily, your prospects for real healing improve once your old hurts are acknowledged and shared with someone you trust.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may be upset today if someone just assumes that your possessions are for communal property. You could overreact and even grow hostile if what you own feels like an extension of your identity. However, your current attachment to your toys isn’t very sensible. If you can’t share what you have now, then you probably shouldn’t be playing with others. Setting clear boundaries is one thing, but there’s no reason to be unkind to those around you.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A passionate Sun-Pluto conjunction occurs in your 1st House of Self, giving you an apparently endless supply of energy. But feeling all that power is a double-edged sword today, for you may be driven by psychological forces that you don’t understand. One strategy for handling your current intensity is to channel your intentions in a constructive manner. For example, writing down your goals and then stating them aloud is the first step to fulfilling your dreams.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You want to care for someone special today, but it might not be such a good idea if you haven’t been asked to help. An emotionally awkward situation could develop if you assist others who do not want your interference. If anyone refuses your aid now, just be gracious and politely wish them well. Don’t hold on to feelings of rejection or all your good intentions will be for naught.

If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.
This is a little complicated to describe but is well worth it.
You need a piece of recycled paper (recycled notebook paper works fine).
On the paper, write a short poem or chant to the Goddess and God that states your wish.
It is alright if you aren’t the best poet on earth! But it is very important that you say exactly how you feel and what exactly you need. Do your best and say it from the heart.
Close the poem with thanks to the Goddess and God.
Fold it in half with the words inside it.
Draw a triple goddess sign on the outside.
Now fold it in half again with the symbol on the inside.
Now draw a pentacle on the paper.
Finally, flip it over and write your name and birthdate on the other side.
Put this aside in a safe place and your wish will come true in due time.
If you change your mind before it comes true, burn the paper and put the ashes to the earth.

More Winter Comments
It’s difficult to make up our minds today because intense emotions are pulling us in different directions. On one hand, the nurturing Cancer Moon motivates us to draw our energy inward to focus on home and family. On the other hand, an exuberant Sun-Jupiter quincunx encourages us to question old assumptions that limit our expression. Meanwhile, we can feel the powerful rumblings of tomorrow’s Sun-Pluto conjunction. Love, not fear, will lead us to success.
Aries Horoscope
(Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Although you might try to convince yourself that you’re free from emotional attachments, there’s a problem with this approach today. Little events throughout the day remind you of how much you love your friends and family. Ultimately, it’s your choice; you could easily avoid upsetting your security by reining in your unrestrained behavior. However, you may alienate others if you hide your feelings. Sharing your uncertainty before you become annoyed can relieve the building tension.
Taurus Horoscope
(Apr 20 – May 20)
A clash with a good friend could be circumvented today, but it will take some serious restraint on your part. You might feel as if someone is baiting you, but it’s actually your own worries that create the biggest problems now. Rather than blaming anyone else for your lack of confidence, consider what you can do to boost your self-esteem. Remember, change won’t happen overnight but you have to start somewhere.
Gemini Horoscope
(May 21 – Jun 20)
You might have a challenging time explaining your feelings today because it’s easier to just keep them to yourself. Even if you know what you want to say, the words just don’t come out the way that you think them. Try not to jump around from one subject to another now or you will leave others in a state of confusion. However, telling your story succinctly and then following through with direct action gives the positive impression you wish to project.
Cancer Horoscope
(Jun 21 – Jul 22)
You may be hypersensitive today with the evocative Moon back in your sign. But being around too many people can be overwhelming now and you’re tempted to retreat in order to honor your own need for boundaries. Unfortunately, you might not be able to get out of a social obligation. Instead of focusing on your annoyance, just postpone your quiet time until things settle down. You could be pleasantly surprised at how good you end up feeling by the end of the day.
Leo Horoscope
(Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You realize the necessity of making changes to your daily routine, but you might not understand just yet how big this shift will be. Don’t expect everything to happen right away, since there are circumstances beyond your control that must play out before you can take your next step. Thankfully, you’re willing to do whatever needs to be done in order to get through this transition. Be patient; there’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Virgo Horoscope
(Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You want to break free at any cost, especially if you feel as if you’re stuck in an unchangeable situation. You are ready for action since you’ve already spent enough time contemplating all your options. Unfortunately, forcing progress today is not recommended because the security-conscious Cancer Moon is visiting your 11th House of Long-Term Goals. Be wise and maintain the status quo for a little while longer. Trust your intuition; you’ll know when the time is right to make your move.
Libra Horoscope
(Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You could be feeling a bit uneasy today without knowing why you can’t settle down. Your free-floating anxiety may not be connected to any one event; it might be related to a more complex set of emotions. Don’t look for a quick fix because that will only put off the inevitable for a few days. Instead, take your time to find healthy ways to relax even in times of stress. Practicing meditation, laughing with your friends, or just dancing around when no one is watching can help lighten your heart.
Scorpio Horoscope
(Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re tempted to dig in your heels and hold out for exactly what you want, but the end game of your current strategy isn’t dependent on your stubbornness. In fact, your lack of flexibility complicates things and moves you even farther away from your ultimate destination. Rather than being so sure of yourself, remain open to compromise now. Flowing with the give-and-take helps you feel good about the situation and increases your chances for success.
Sagittarius Horoscope
(Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Although you could be eager to embark on your next great journey, it may be discouraging to admit you haven’t even bought a ticket yet. Unfortunately, there are too many demands on your time now for you to think that you can leave on the spur of the moment. Be patient and don’t let go of your dreams; there’s still time to work out all the details before you have to choose your destination.
Capricorn Horoscope
(Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Your current uncertainty could put you in a more conservative frame of mind, prompting you to question your ability to reach your long-term goals. But don’t give up too soon because you might not have all the facts at your disposal. Although you may feel the pressure to make a serious career decision today, it’s smarter to delay your final choice until after the New Year, if possible.
Aquarius Horoscope
(Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You are thrilled about the possibilities ahead, but too much optimism may inspire you to act impulsively. This is no time for foolish obstinacy because it only amplifies the stress. It’s wiser to acknowledge your enthusiasm while practicing self-restraint. Instead of thinking you can simply overpower the obstacles you face, try to learn what valuable lessons they have to teach you now.
Pisces Horoscope
(Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You’re still processing a lot of information that recently came into your awareness, but it’s not easy to integrate so much data all at once. Nevertheless, you might feel as if a deadline is quickly approaching. Unfortunately, if you try to move too fast, you could end up hitting a wall. Ask a trusted friend for help today, so you have someone else to listen to your story. Any feedback you receive at this time can move you closer to your desired destination.
Jeff Jawer on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology
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.
A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.
Personal will can also be thought of as motivation, temptation, or persuasion. In order to establish enough power to accomplish your goal, you must be sufficiently moved to perform a work of magick. If you do not focus fully on the results, or if you invest only a small amount of energy in your desire, you are unlikely to realize any true results. The stronger your need or desire is the more likely it is that you will raise the amount of energy required to manifest what you seek. However, desire or need is not enough by itself. Bear in mind that desire must be controlled, and the will must be focused only upon a detached view of the desired outcome of your spell or magickal rite. Enflame your mind in the intent while at the same time separating yourself from the desired result. In other words, run the race mindful of the finish line but totally focused on the pace.
