Daily Horoscopes for Friday, December 28th

Our dreams can overflow their boundaries like the sea at high tide because today’s Full Moon in emotional Cancer at 5:21 am EST activates the power of our subconscious minds. Our inner fears are pitted against our outer responsibilities as the ambitious Capricorn Sun drives us to overachieve without regard for the needs of others. The Moon’s anxious aspects to radical Uranus and relentless Pluto push deeply rooted tensions up to the surface.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today’s Cancer Full Moon may stress your life with career issues that motivate you to rethink your overall life path. One of your important considerations is the sacrifice of emotional safety you need to make to reach your goals. Asking important questions now can propel you into action. Although others might see you as acting too aggressively, do whatever you must to get yourself back on track.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

If you are insecure about your communication abilities, today may be a great day to push through these self-limiting thoughts now that the Cancer Full Moon shines in your 3rd House of Information. It’s not important what others are saying; how you feel about yourself is more crucial. If you start from a place of low self-esteem, then nothing on the outside will make you feel OK. Fortunately, doing the necessary inner work gives you a confidence boost and a much-needed attitude adjustment.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your thoughts might be moving so fast today that you cannot even tell what you are thinking. You may have very sensible ideas, yet you can still ruin your chances of realizing a goal if you scatter your energy. The Cancer Full Moon in your 2nd House of Values is a reminder to focus on what is most important and allow the other activities to fall away. Don’t talk about anything until you are ready. Then, discuss your plan with passion so that others will take you seriously.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

The Full Moon in your sensitive sign might have you worrying that you are misunderstood. You want others to acknowledge and respect your desire for safety. Consider, however, that your needs may be based upon old insecurities — and no one can fix this if you fear rejection or change. You might not be able to solve this dilemma overnight, but sharing your concerns with someone you trust helps you feel better about what’s currently happening in your life.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You really want to hold up your end of the deal but the Cancer Full Moon in your 12th House of Secrets may have you struggling in ways that no one notices. You realize that there are things you can do to help others, but you’re already busy trying to fulfill your previous commitments. You can’t do everything, yet your high ideals make it difficult for you to let go. Nevertheless, everyone will appreciate it if you don’t promise more than you can deliver.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The nurturing Cancer Full Moon in your social 11th House encourages you to be a supportive part of a team. But this group orientation conflicts with your desire to take care of yourself first today. You intend to accomplish your goals in a very practical way until you realize that you might hurt someone else in the process of being selfish. Others will figure out what you are feeling because actions really do speak louder than words. Demonstrating your generosity of spirit is a good place to start.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s a real challenge to know what’s best, even if today’s issues seem vaguely familiar. You might not want to put up with the same level of job-related stress now that the evocative Full Moon is flooding your 10th House of Career. If you have been withholding your feelings, take a deep breath and release them out into the open. Just remember to be kind in your delivery process, even if you become engaged in a power struggle. Ultimately, others will appreciate you going out on a limb to clear the air.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The emotionally powerful Cancer Full Moon makes it difficult to walk away from a disagreement because it stimulates an internal frustration that just won’t go away. Just remember that endless fighting doesn’t lead to peace of mind. Instead, take your old wounds out of the picture and examine the situation from a fresh perspective. If you can find meaning in the midst of the current chaos, then everyone emerges as a winner.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might not run from your feelings as fast as usual today, even if you wish an unpleasant situation would just go away. However, your current intensity prevents you from just dropping an issue that’s important to you. Although rational Saturn helps you create realistic expectations now, the protective Cancer Full Moon floods your 8th House of Deep Sharing, cautioning you to hold back. Practicing patience and proceeding with determination prevents encountering disappointment in the days ahead.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your sense of reality may be tested now as you confront one of your most basic fears. The needy Cancer Full Moon stimulates your 7th House of Others, raising concerns that a relationship will pull you into unknown emotional territory. More than anything today, you don’t want to fall victim to troublesome irrationality as you attempt to stay on the safe path of logic. However, it’s crucial to balance the objective and subjective realms in order to have a healthy perspective.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may not be so self-assured today because the moody Cancer Full Moon lands in your 6th House of Employment, filling you with uncertainty about your job. Keeping your emotions to yourself could leave others wondering why you are more distant now. You might not want to tell them what’s going on, even if they ask. Temporarily shifting your attention away from your feelings is a good idea, for it will be easier to express them in a day or two. Focus on the needs of those you love as you wait for your heart to sort itself out.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The nurturing Cancer Full Moon lights up your 5th House of Romance and Creativity today, helping you feel more positive even if you are a bit overwhelmed. You may grow concerned if the uncontrollable swirl of complex emotions is moving too quickly. However, these are well-traveled waters for you Fish and it helps to remind yourself that you are totally safe. The sooner you recognize your own feelings, the sooner you can re-establish your center.

We head into the last weekend of the year on an intense note, with a Full Moon in hypersensitive 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.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 28th

Put low-level desires on the back burner and give selfish urges the old heave-ho. It’s time for the solar and lunar orbs to reach their monthly crescendo. This Full Moon energizes 8 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer (2:22AM PST). Individual and group meditations are recommended. Think more about what you can do for relatives, friends and associates rather than your own personal needs. Enlightening forces are attempting to illuminate the entire landscape of the human species while also bearing gifts of the spirit to the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms.  You may want to get busy with other key tasks and plans in the early hours before the Moon trines Saturn in water signs (6:44AM PST) — a 120-degree link that also starts a long void uncertainty zone that lasts until 11:46PM PST tomorrow night. If you add up those hours, it means that this void-of-course lunar experience goes on for 41+ hours. You are advised to drop old worries like a hot potato and enjoy going with the cosmic flow for a change of pace. Strive to finish projects that relate to familial or residential matters.  If parental themes and memories bombard your waking consciousness, it is due to a frictional, 135-degree tie from Ceres to Saturn (8:45PM PST). Whenever Ceres and Saturn connect in the heavens, the earthly reflection has something to do with maternal and paternal issues.  Emulate the tortoise over the hare overnight since the Sun makes an off-kilter, 150-degree link-up with Jupiter (12:28AM PST on Saturday). By slowing your pace, it is easier to adjust yourself to the fact that giant Jupiter remains retrograde until January 30, 2013.
