Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 27th

The cosmic buzz quiets down today, but it may be the calm between storms as we move toward tomorrow morning’s tumultuous Full Moon. Although restlessness can still be a problem with the changeable Gemini Moon, her shift into moody Cancer at 3:06 pm EST tempts us to withdraw from social engagements. Meanwhile, a mentally suppressive alignment between chatty Mercury and austere Saturn requires us to look carefully before we leap into a new project.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might start the day optimistically, but sink into the cool waters of contemplation as the day wears on. However, between moments of doubt, your energy level may be so high that you’re ready to take on the world. Make the most of your confidence while you are feeling the positive vibrations. Find a healthy way to balance your need for emotional security with your desire to express yourself without restraint.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may worry others today by jumping into a wild sea of bold actions. However, you might have slipped on a life jacket when no one was looking. Accordingly, you’re prepared for nearly anything that might come your way. You won’t drown or be pulled off course, but you could get soaked now by the storms of experience. Use your common sense to help you keep your head above water.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

You can easily set the world afire today with your clever thoughts and easy charm, yet you may grow more subdued as the day progresses. Sometimes your flexibility works well for you and sometimes it doesn’t. Now, however, you must stay conscious of your exuberance or you could overdo it. Thankfully, it requires less effort to exert a bit of self-control early in the game than to try to stop the ball once it’s rolling.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

You might have an emotional encounter that stirs up uncomfortable feelings when the evocative Moon moves into your sign this afternoon. Nevertheless, you’re not inclined to sit in a corner, withdrawn from interpersonal involvements today; instead, you have things to do and people to see. Your day may not go according to plan, so don’t try to stick to your old schedule. You can maintain stability and increase your sense of security if you are sincerely willing to change with the outer dynamics.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You might try to tread lightly today, yet anything you do will probably still be quite noticeable. Unconscious patterns can overtake your day while circumstances grow out of control pretty quickly. Unwrap your buried feelings now, for they could bring you sorrow if they stay hidden within much longer. Paradoxically, being cautious is wise, but at the same time you must be prepared to act with courage. Listen to your heart and the rest will follow.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your day may start as if it’s going to conform to your expectations, but unfortunately, life won’t be that simple now. There is too much energy floating around and the intensity must go somewhere. But somehow, it probably won’t seem too disruptive even with a surprising twist or turn along the way. In fact, if you welcome the unknown with open arms, you’ll feel more alive than ever.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Brilliant ideas have propelled you into the realms of big schemes and grandiose proportions. Now, your energy level is running high and you are psyched for whatever comes your way. Considering how wired you are these days, it’s amazing that you can still be so rational. Oddly enough, the more grounded you are today, the easier it becomes to express yourself in new and exciting ways. The right mix of creativity and practicality will lead you down the road to success.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might not feel like a rock of stability today, yet there is peace in knowing that you are free enough from tradition to embrace your vision of the future. It may seem like you are balancing on a tightrope between the new and the old, but you can make it look so easy now that others will respect the path you choose to travel. Take a few deep breaths, don’t look down and just keep moving forward.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Real world obligations require you to downplay your craziest ideas while still acknowledging that the wild dreams are not going away. You may talk about your fantasies as you imagine your life unfolding, but don’t place too much stock in any thoughts that lack foundation. If you do, you will look back at this opportune moment, regretting the energy that you wasted. Establishing a practical perspective now prevents major disappointment later on.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Strong feelings may arise through relationship dynamics today and you’ll be better off if you can share what’s on your mind. If you are experiencing tension with your friends, roll with the punches now instead of fighting back. Something big is about to change, and it could alter the way others see you. Although it might be difficult, try not to anticipate what’s going to happen. Just allow the situation to unfold naturally without attempting to control the outcome.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

There’s plenty of activity going on at work now and all the stress can be distracting. Nevertheless, you might find that your creativity is rekindled by being in the midst of such colorful action. If life becomes overwhelming, keep in mind the intensity won’t last more than a few days. You have the potential for great originality as long as you remember that chaos is the mother of invention.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Even if you want to fly below the radar today, you still may be noticed and admired because everyone sees you as more exciting and upbeat than you really feel. Although you’re running on intuitive energy, you still must show up and do the work in order to be successful. Ironically, you might be happier now if you pay less attention to the rules of the road and more attention to the signs of your heart.

Invocation to Frey and Freya

Holy sister and brother,
Lady and Lord of the Vanir,
Golden of hair as the fields of wheat
Who bring riches of heart and hearth
To noble and common folk alike
You are the security wealth can buy
And the happiness it cannot.
Lord Frey, Corn God
Warrior without a weapon
Who gave his sword for love,
You who make the grain spring forth,
Show us faith in every harvest.
Bless the bonds of those whose love
Binds them to land, to hearth,
To commitment of permanence,
O God whose wedding was cursed and blessed.
Lady Freya, warrior woman,
Chooser of the slain warriors,
Teacher of magic and mysteries,
Mistress of Seidhr and mother of jewels,
Love Goddess and Lady of Springtime,
Flowers scattered in your footsteps,
Unashamed of love and pleasure,
Help us to remember
That there are many kinds of wealth.
Bless us, Frey and Freya,
Most precious gems of Vanaheim,
With the gold of next year’s grain and sun.

Song: Golden One

(The mead is poured out as a libation for Freya, and the beer for Frey.)

Honoring Horus

Wiccans honor the divine infant Horus, and his mother, Isis, at this time of year, for Horus represents the newborn Sun (Interestingly depictions of Isis nursing Horus inspired the Madonna-and-child iconography of Christianity.) According to ancient Egyptian myth after Osiris was murdered and dismembered by his evil brother Set, Isis search out and magickally reassembled her dead husband’s body parts, she then revived him long enough to conceive their son, Horus. Thereafter, Osiris become Lord of the Underworld, and Horus grew up to avenge Osiris’s death and rule the skies.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 26th

You’ve got the world on a string, but don’t lose your balance. Safety first could be your motto when the Moon in Gemini forms its monthly union with Vesta (2:33AM PST). Take some time to review your current investment plans. Just 26 minutes later, Pallas forms an inspirational, 72-degree tie with Jupiter (2:59AM PST). Favorable Pallas-Jupiter links like this are great mind-expanders — assisting you in harnessing the power of your ability to see into the future.  Vesta is once again a top priority during a Venus-Vesta polarity (12:33PM PST). While not as positive as the earlier Moon-Vesta union, this Venus-Vesta connection on either side of the Earth can help you increase your business assets — especially if you heed the sagacious advice of soul-sisters who know the financial score.  As mentioned in this calendar on December 23, a mysterious Yod or Finger of God triangle has been under development during this last week of 2012. With today’s supportive, 60-degree alliance between Saturn and Pluto (5:42PM PST), this cosmic configuration gains a stable base in the heavens. If you have excellent research skills, this can be a terrific time to uncover esoteric secrets that have been waiting to be revealed for many centuries.  Healing forces are back with authority — thanks to a constructive, 60-degree rapport between the Sun and Chiron (8:52PM PST). During the monthly Moon-Mercury polarity (10:51PM PST), the Moon enters another fairly lengthy void cycle that lasts until 12:08PM PST tomorrow. Be a minimalist when it comes to decision-making overnight — although it is fine to start preparing for the potent Full Moon that arrives on Friday December 28.
