Your Daily Horoscopes for December 11th

We tend to see what’s possible rather than what stands in the way of success now that the Moon is moving through energetic Aries. Our take-charge attitude is reinforced by a dynamic lunar square to exuberant Jupiter. Fortunately, our optimism pays off because the fiery Aries Moon forms a propitious trine with the Sun in inspirational Sagittarius. If we heed a midday reality check and fine-tune our plans, we can be successful in our endeavors.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your refusal to take no for an answer now motivates you to find an original solution to an ongoing problem. Thankfully, you’re able to sustain a high level of energy today, turning you into a hero at work. However, you must stay fully focused on your goals or you could be tempted to set aside meeting responsibilities in favor of having fun. Don’t give up; the satisfaction you gain by creating something lasting is much more fulfilling than the memory of fleeting pleasure.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

Conforming to your regular routine can be a real challenge today because your emotions seem to have a life of their own. Your reactions aren’t necessarily rational, especially if friends or coworkers expect you to join them on a social outing. You may think that you don’t have the time for such frivolity, but it might be wise to go ahead and participate anyway. Thankfully, you won’t need to run away from your obligations; they will still be waiting for you when you return. A little joy in your heart serves you well.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Talking yourself into going along with the group sounds like a good idea, but you still may modify your plans during the day and end up doing something on your own. Although you could blame your change of mind on the current situation, it’s better to take full responsibility for your decision instead. It’s okay to acknowledge that you’re feeling stifled now and need some immediate action. Fortunately, you don’t have to hold yourself back today, since your spontaneous behavior will likely lead you in the right direction.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You may be provoked to initiate action at work today by someone who goads you into stepping beyond your normal limits. Even if an outrageous plan sounds enticing, the very idea of doing anything so unconventional might make you feel anxious. Thankfully, you could receive support from the most unlikely sources now. Go ahead and spread your wings and fly; you’ll never know how far you can get if you don’t at least try.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your optimistic attitude might tempt you to express previously hidden feelings, but saying too much could turn into something you later regret. Take your time and carefully consider your words and actions today before following an impulsive whim. Thankfully, there are many shades of gray, so you won’t have to make an all-or-nothing decision. Don’t go overboard with your disclosure; exercising a bit of caution now is your best strategy to keep the energy moving in a positive direction.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re more restless today than anyone realizes, but you’re doing a good job of hiding your excitement. You may appear to be much more serious than you actually feel. Be careful; if someone close to you is ready for action, you might just cut loose and join in. However, as long as you stay conscious of your obligations, you should be able to slip away for some fun and get back before anyone even notices that you’re gone. A little change can shake things up just enough to be interesting.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You could work yourself up into a state of anxiety today as you compare your ideal fantasies with the realities of the day. You really don’t want to repeat an old routine in the exact same way you did it before. You’re intrigued by doing things differently now, and anything or anyone unconventional is appealing to you. However, just because you can imagine it, doesn’t mean that you should make it real. Using your common sense enables you to enjoy your daydreams without having to experience disappointment later on.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although your day flows pretty smoothly, you may still want more freedom than you have today. Thankfully, your workday could allow you more opportunity for independence, so trying something new makes a lot of sense. Don’t close yourself off to unrealized possibilities before you even explore your options. Muster up an extra bit of courage, take a risk and let others know what you need; you might be happily surprised with the support you receive.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You enjoy having fun and playing games, but the excitement level could end up being a bit too much today, even for you adventurous Archers. Your feelings are inconsistent now, and it might seem as if your attention should be elsewhere no matter what you do. Nevertheless, the lack of stability increases your attraction to the thrill of the uncertainty. Enjoy the buzz while it lasts, for things will begin to settle back down in a couple of days.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might be uncomfortable with the current emotional turmoil, yet nothing you do seems to calm your inner turbulence. You’re better off now to let go and ride the rough waves instead of attempting to resist them and change your direction. Thankfully, your anxiety begins to dissipate once you concentrate on maintaining balance, rather than trying to manage all the variables in your environment at once. Paradoxically, loosening your grip on the future ultimately puts you back in control where you belong.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Nothing is as simple as it could be if only you were willing to share your feelings today. Although you may know exactly what you want and where you are going, you might not wish to involve others in your process yet. Your impatience tempts you to jump the gun and impulsively do something foolish now before you have the support of your allies. Move carefully and think twice prior to doing anything rash. Rest assured you have more time than you realize.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re so eager to try something that’s outside your comfort zone today that your sudden actions can take others by surprise. Unfortunately, they may judge you unkindly because of your erratic behavior; they might even accuse you of being immature or irresponsible. Nevertheless, act with confidence and express who you are and what you want. This is your moment of truth, regardless of anyone else’s expectations. The only person you need to please is yourself.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 2nd

The dark-of-the-moon monthly phase always takes place as the lunar orb seeks to rejoin the Sun in their every 29.5-day cyclic dance through the heavens. Thus, we are currently in the extreme waning time-period of the solar-lunar cycle and then at 4:23PM the Sun and Moon will merge at 11 degrees of Sagittarius.  In the hours before that official New Moon moment, your main goals should be to finish odds and ends from the past four weeks in order to wipe the slate clean for upcoming, exciting plans that can manifest during the month ahead. Creating some commotion — particularly on the social front and in the area of primary partnerships — are a Mars-Uranus parallel (6:28AM) and a Sun-Jupiter contra-parallel (3:26PM). As a reminder — for those of you who may be newcomers to this cosmic calendar — parallel and contra-parallel aspects are calculated using the Celestial Equator as a great circle surrounding the Earth, rather than the Ecliptic which contains or marks out the twelve signs of the zodiac and their total of 360-degrees of space. Nevertheless, the parallel and contra-parallel alignments carry equal billing as star attractions — just as though they might be conjunctions and/or oppositions in the zodiac.  Mars combining vibrations with Uranus definitely has shocking and explosive potentials while the Sun linking up with Jupiter indicates that very large forces are on the march and capable of scuttling even the best-arranged plans for the day. Fortunately, these aspects both take place in the dark-of-the-moon phase and prior to the actual New Moon which still has the capacity to send you on great adventures of the mind, heart and spirit. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]

Current Moon Phase for December 2nd – New Moon

New Moon

(waxing/0% of Full)

The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.

Happy Birthday, Sagittarius!

Happy Birthday, Sagittarius!

Let’s hear it for the zodiac’s adventurous Archer

Maria DeSimone   Maria DeSimone on the topics of sagittarius, birthdays, astrology

It’s your birthday and you’re ready to shout it from the rooftops! It’s not that you’re looking for adoration or a bunch of gifts — nah, that’s not your style. You, Sagittarius, are simply so darned happy and grateful to be on this planet and you want to celebrate the fact that you have another year of adventures to look forward to. For you, life is, has and always will be about the journey. With each birthday comes the opportunity to make that journey even more phenomenal.

A progressive party

Exploring your intellectual, physical and spiritual horizons are what make life worth living in your eyes. As a result, you’re always seeking a new way to grow whether through travel, study or a pie in the sky adventure. In addition, you tend to eagerly pursue insight the way other signs go after fame or riches. On your birthday you will most appreciate words of wisdom from a mentor you respect.

You’re zealous, optimistic and brutally honest.  You may be short on tact however — especially when someone asks your opinion … or gets you a birthday gift you don’t like. You’re not one to sugarcoat the truth, and for some, that pill is hard to swallow! You might also have a self-righteous streak if you believe unflinchingly in one of your ideologies. Remember that everyone is allowed to have an opinion, and if it’s not in line with yours, it doesn’t automatically mean it’s wrong. On the bright side, you’re filled with faith and a happy go lucky attitude. You know things will always work out and that no matter what life throws at you, you’ll always land on your feet.

Sagittarian Dreams – Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Sagittarian Dreams

Bright possibilities emerge with the Sun in Sagittarius

Jeff Jawer   Jeff Jawer on the topics of sun, sagittarius, astrology

The Sun shifts from deep-feeling Scorpio to farseeing Sagittarius on November 21, marking a turn away from the reflective side of emotions and toward a dynamic expression of our aspirations.

Scorpio is a glass-half-empty zodiac sign that tends to combine concerns from the past and pressures of the present to interpret life as a struggle. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is able to ignore yesterday — and in some cases even the present — to project hope forward to a more desirable future.

The likelihood for fulfillment grows

Transforming Scorpio-style fears into Sagittarian dreams doesn’t happen automatically, though. Even if the shifting cosmic tides start flowing in an optimistic direction, we’re as likely to get lost in them as we are to find the happiness that we seek. Yet when we do Scorpio’s work of diving into our desires, assessing our resources and establishing priorities, the likelihood of achieving fulfillment grows.

This is not a process of denying doubts and fears, but one of examining them, determining which, if any, are useful, and letting go of those that have outlived their usefulness. Eliminating these negatives seems like it should be easy, yet we often are so identified with our wounds that we resist releasing them and turning our lives in a new direction. So much of who we think we are is enmeshed in a sense of limits where even the most consciously desirable freedoms are often resisted.

Do your dreams have a chance of coming true?

Refusing to look forward and dive into the future is only one way we hold back the tides of change. Another way to ensure our lives stay the same is to invest in dreams that have little likelihood of turning into reality. The potential to get lost in clouds of illusion is common with the Sun in Sagittarius, especially this week, when it squares nebulous Neptune on Sunday. This is an indirect and usually unconscious way to undermine progress, because the reward for failing to advance is getting to stay where we are.

A secret to bringing Sagittarian visions down from the clouds is to use the concentrated powers of Scorpio. The focus and determination of the latter cuts through the promises of the former, tapping into the essence of our aspirations. Scorpio is not about what we like; it’s about what we absolutely need. When a dream goes from being a vague hope to a detailed picture of desire, it finds the soil in which it can take root. The obstacles that stand in the way of achieving our goals are broken down by the intense commitment and drive that’s at the heart of Scorpio.

Look back with courage and forward with faith

When we think about the future, we usually don’t want to look back. Yet when we use the model of the zodiac sign preceding the one that we’re in, we will often determine whether we advance, stay stuck or regress. The promises of Sagittarius grow from the depths of Scorpio, and it will draw sustenance from the hunger or struggle it represents.

This reminds us that there’s little value in drawing a line between positive and negative, as they are essential parts of one another. The alchemy of achievement is created when both the faith to look forward and the courage to look back are a stirred together in the pot of possibility.
