Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today is full of contradictions. In one way, you’re in a practical, logical frame of mind and ready to act on solid decisions. Nevertheless, your idealism is confused about something, perhaps related to the media, foreign countries or higher education? Tread carefully.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you can do logical research into a subject. In fact, someone older or more experienced might help you. However, at the same time, some kind of confusion about financial or practical support is evident. Make sure you know what you’re doing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Someone older or more experienced might have good advice for you today. Or possibly, you are the sage dispensing advice to someone else? Nevertheless, be aware that some kind of misunderstanding or confusion exists with a partner or close friend. Take nothing at face value.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Parents and bosses see you as conscientious and reliable today. You might impress them and vice versa, they impress you. However, you are also dealing with some kind of confusion and misunderstanding related to your health, your job or a pet. Be aware of this.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Although you might be focused on issues in the news, the media or something to do with foreign countries and travel, be aware that some kind of confusion related to your kids might take place today. Don’t ignore this. This confusion could extend to sports or social activities. Stay steady.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Even though you have a clear idea about how to handle assets, debt or the help from someone else, nevertheless, today there is a genuine misunderstanding or confusion going on at home, perhaps with a parent or an older family member. You have to deal with this.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although it appears that conversations with others are solid, practical and logical today – and indeed, they might be; nevertheless, you might not have all the facts. Or you might be misinformed. Or your ideas might be unrealistic? Wishing does not always make it so.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful with financial decisions today because an element of confusion and possibly even deceive exists. Make sure you know what you’re doing, especially if you’re spending money. You may have practical expectations related to your health but don’t let this cloud your good judgment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today it’s hard to get behind what you really believe or think because you’re filled with some self-doubt. Worse yet, you might be idealistic about something and not even realize that it’s an unrealistic position? Don’t kid yourself today. Listen to the advice of someone younger, perhaps one of your kids.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today it’s easy to second-guess things because you don’t feel sure about something. You have doubts. Meanwhile, serious, practical discussion about future plans at home seems to be solid. It’s hard to know what to do. If this is the case – do nothing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It’s ironic because today, you are mentally clear and keen to make plans or study something and learn something new. Nevertheless, a discussion with a friend or a member of a group might throw you off your game. It might even cause you to change your goals? Don’t be quick to make changes.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Parents, bosses and the police might create some kind of confusion in your life today. You’re not sure what to do next or who to believe. Fortunately, you have a pretty solid grasp about your finances so you won’t go too far wrong.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Bill Nighy (1949) shares your birthday today. You are intuitive, intelligent and confident. You are a perfectionist; and know exactly how to dress and create an impression. You are a natural and sympathetic counsellor to others, which makes you a valued friend. This year has been a quieter year for you with a strong focus on your closest relationships. Next year will be happy, creative and dazzling!

Let’s Have Some Fun – Southern Hemisphere Litha/Summer Solstice

Magickal Activity for December 21, The Summer Solstice

Floating Candles

Midsummer is a celebration of light and life, symbolized by the flame of a candle and the movement of water. A large glass bowl filled with an assortment of floating candles makes a wonderful point of focus for ritual. Choose bright yellow sunflowers, white lilies, and red tulip-shaped candles. Have each person participating in the ritual inscribe his or her desire, with a pin, on a candle. Have each person come forward, place his or her candle in the bowl and light it as he makes his wish. Following the ritual, the bowl is placed outdoors, and the candles are left to burn out.

The Sun Wheel

One of the most popular symbols of Midsummer is the Sun Wheel, the turning of which suggests the turning, or progression, of the seasons. The Wheel is decorated with flowers, fresh herbs, and brightly colored ribbons.

The simplest method for making a Sun Wheel is to buy an already-prepared natural-branch wreath from an arts and crafts store. Affix small branches of rowan to form the spokes of the wheel (four spokes to represent the elements and cross-quarter days or eight to symbolize the eight Wiccan Sabbats). Use floral wire to attach fresh flowers and herbs to the wreath. Embellish with brightly colored ribbons. The wheel can be used as the focal point for your Midsummer rites or hung on the front door of your home for decoration.

DECEMBER 6 birthday horoscope predicts that as a Sagittarius who is sociable, you exhibit a cheerful attitude and are a pleasure to have around. You are always lively and ready to have a good time.

The December 6th birthday personality has a magnetic charm. People are often drawn to you without their even knowing it. These Sagittarians are the ones who are the advice lord among the group. You’re charming and your persuasive talents provide valuable insights to others. You love a good challenge.

However, as a negative birthday characteristic, you have the patience of a raging bull and could be impulsive as well. You could be someone who is described as being impatient, forward yet flexible. Naturally, you are an honest person who can be hurtful with that sharp tongue of yours. You, for this reason, are often the peacemaker.

The December 6 horoscope predicts that you are usually on the go all the time. You are optimistic about life, and normally, you surround yourself with like-minded individuals. You stay positive but feel that anyone’s environment has its part in how we look at and approach situations. Mostly, this Sagittarius birthday person is searching for peace and understanding.

Let’s talk about your finances and your career. As the December 6 zodiac sign is Sagittarius, you are in an awesome position to teach. Your aggressive nature makes you a stern administrator suited for upper management or business development. If the entertainment industry interests you, then maybe you should look at some areas that would be beneficial to you. The future of person who born on 6 December depends on the amount of effort they are ready to put in.

The December 6th zodiac shows that you are the kindest, most understanding person. You have a cheerful can-do attitude that people love. People ask for your advice and opinions. You find it humbling to be honored and trusted in this way. Socially, you are sought after to attend the A List of events and happenings around town.

In love, this December 6 birthday person generally wants to be married. Your search for a companion who is perhaps a mirror image of yourself although opposites attract. Your perfect mate is waiting for you somewhere in the midst of all those admirers. As the head of the household, you will hold up to traditional values and principles. This parenting Sagittarian is usually an understanding and sympathetic one.

The December 6 astrology shows that you have a positive and upbeat attitude. You may feel that the mind, body, and soul work together. The only thing you may have to worry about is your weight when you reach that age of around 40 or 50. We tend not to be so active in these years as we have been so, the weight has a way of hanging around and most of the time, in the wrong places.

Nowadays, some programs will teach you how to eat those foods that we love so much. A study has proven that we can still eat the foods we love, but when they are consumed at different times and with other foods, they can be beneficial in weight stability or weight loss.

As a December 6 birthday personality born today, you typically will not walk away from conflict, but rather you are the one to find a solution. Occasionally, you are thrown off guard and lack patience to deal with petty and childish things. Although we live where we live, we don’t have to be a negative result of our surroundings.

All Signs

This is a busy week. Unfortunately, everyone’s energy might be scattered in different directions. There’s a strong chance that by midweek, things will spin out of control but it’s nothing we can’t handle. (One hopes.) Be on the lookout for squabbles, which might erupt because of the confusion. Please remember: When the world gets wobbly, do not let anyone place blame, especially on you. Likewise, do not place blame on others. This is life, and caca happens. Look at your world like the kitchen sink. If there’s dirty dishes in the sink, roll up your sleeves and begin. You gotta start somewhere. (Of course, when the going gets tough – the tough hire help.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

On Monday, you feel pumped with new ideas, future travel plans and meeting people who are different. Interesting! By Tuesday, the situation might start to look a bit shaky. “Is this even doable?” By Wednesday, someone might be angry, possibly about shared property, debt, or who is responsible for what. By Thursday, someone is sulking. (Doubtful that it’s you, you don’t waste time sulking. You speak up!) On Friday, tread carefully. Don’t believe everything you hear, especially if someone is throwing shade on someone else. Get the facts before you leap to conclusions. By Saturday, a sigh of relief! A rainbow! Things are lighthearted and social. Fun occasions beckon to you. “I’m on it!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

At the beginning of the week, you feel confident and encouraged, especially about financial matters. Furthermore, travel for pleasure looks promising! However, by Tuesday, there seems to be doubt about some of your plans. (Certainly, doubt about something going on around you.) Double check details about inheritances, shared property, taxes, debt and insurance matters because things are fuzzy. (“Whaaat?”) By Wednesday and Thursday, the gloves are off. Conflict with partners, spouses or close friends is something you might have to face. Caution against the blame game or gas lighting someone. In turn, don’t let anyone do this to you. Hang in there because by Saturday, things turn completely around. You’re happy, in fact, you’ve got big ideas!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The Sun is still directly opposite your sign along with Mercury, which means you have a strong focus on partners, spouses and close friends at this time. (This happens for four weeks only once a year.) Although this week begins on a nice high note, things begin to get out of hand on Tuesday; and by Wednesday, conflict with coworkers or someone who might have something to do with your health could be an aggravation. This conflict might also focus on your pet. On Thursday, someone will play the guilt game. “Hey, I wasn’t even there.” Fortunately, by the weekend, all of this is history. That’s why it’s wise to keep your eye on the future – after all, you’re going to spend the rest of your life there.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

For starters, no matter what happens this week (and this week is a roller coaster ride), the strong theme throughout is that you’re ready to work and get stuff done. Oh yeah. You will be productive and you will get results. Factoid. Monday is a solid day. You’re happy. By Tuesday, some distinct confusion (can confusion be distinct?) enters the picture. You might be misled by someone either innocently or on purpose. Be careful. Keep your eyes open. By midweek, conflict with kids, romantic partners and people in the entertainment world and the hospitality industry will be an aggravation for you. Cope as best you can. Hang in there because by the weekend everything is much happier! (Whew! What a relief!)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This week is a party hard, work hard week. Or to put a finer point on it, it’s more like a love/hate week. (Or a happy/angry week?) Actually, the week starts off great! However, some kind of confusion with a romantic partner might disappoint you. (Remember: Unexpressed expectations almost always bring disappointment.) Or there might be some confusion, even deception, dealing with your kids? By midweek, family arguments or tension with a family member is likely. This might even relate to the fact that you’re very passionate about something with your work (perhaps a coworker?) Just cope as best you can with patience and grace — after all, you are royalty. By Saturday, everything is back to normal and feelings are good. They are also passionate! Possibly, you have ambitious ideas about work?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week your focus on home, family and home repairs continues. Fortunately, it begins in a beautiful way on Monday; but by Tuesday, something confusing might be going on at home. Perhaps a misunderstanding with a family member. “You called me just to tell me that?” By midweek, Wednesday/Thursday, because fiery Mars is in your House of Communications, you might be a tad aggressive when talking to others. Be careful about coming on too strong, which will defeat your purpose if you want to have a two-way conversation. Patience will help. Romance is very passionate this week. Likewise, you might feel equally as passionate about sports or something to do with the entertainment world. By Saturday, everything is copacetic. Thank goodness. A wild and crazy week.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your fast pace and busy schedule continue with errands, short trips and appointments. Plus, you’re eager to talk to many people. (You always welcome opportunities for lively conversations.) More than any other sign, your surroundings are important to you because you are affected by your immediate environment – colour, smells, layout and design etc. This week you might have strong feelings about a redecorating project or about how your home looks or how you want to entertain. What might seem to be a casual thing to someone else, is important to you. Perhaps this is why you have some squabbles midweek, especially about finances or the cost of an entertaining event? Be clear in all your communications with others because confusion is rampant.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Okay –this is a tricky week. You continue to have a strong focus on money, cash flow and earnings. Mars in your sign, will make you aggressive and ready to go after whatever you want. Mars is your ancient ruler, which is why you are a forceful and direct sign. (Read: In your face.) To begin with, Monday is a smooth day but by midweek, confusion and deception might anger you or make you feel disappointed. The confusion might be about the ownership of something, or how to spend an allotted amount of money. Fortunately, Venus in your House of Communications, will soften your words and make you diplomatic. Venus will also help you to see the beauty of your daily surroundings. (Bonus.) By Saturday, life is easier!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This week has challenges for everyone. Fortunately, you have the advantage of having both the Sun and Mercury in your sign, which means things will tend to go your way. Monday looks great! However, on Tuesday, confused communications with a parent or a family member might make things go sideways. This might even trigger conflict that arises midweek, especially about a hidden secret or something going on behind the scenes. You have strong feelings when it comes to money and your possessions this week. There is something you want to do. Hopefully, it will be resolved by Saturday because you’re definitely smiling by then. That’s good.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This week has mixed messages and different influences for you. In one way, you’ll be strong and aggressive, and willing to fight for your rights, especially with groups. But in another way, you will prefer to retire and play things low-key. This will be particularly evident on Wednesday/ Thursday, when tension with others will be apparent. Possibly, you’re upset because of a deception? Or a hidden secret? Whatever happens, with Venus in your sign now, you’ll be graceful and diplomatic, regardless of how you feel. This is still a good week to buy wardrobe items for yourself. Just do it!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your popularity continues! In particular, you will enjoy the company of younger people. However, on Tuesday, some kind of confusion or deception might disappoint you. This could be related to a hidden love or a hidden love affair? Because Mars is at the top of your chart, your ambition is aroused. This also means if someone stands in your way, or you feel thwarted by the efforts of others, you will defend yourself! This could put you in conflict with someone around Wednesday/Thursday. Don’t get your belly in a rash because eventually, all of this subsides and by Saturday, you’re laughing!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The Sun is still at high noon in your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. Monday is a lovely day. By Tuesday, you will encounter confusion. By Wednesday and Thursday, arguments about social issues, racism, politics and religion might grip you. These arguments might resolve nothing. Issues like these need a logical, calm mind to make any headway. Fortunately, a passionate friendship is important to you this week, and it will be a comfort to you. (For some, this passion will be so strong that possibly, a friend will become a lover.) In either case, your ideals are strong. (All of this brouhaha will be settled by Saturday.)

From whats-your-sign.com

The archangel Michael is in charge of this day.  In the Hebrew language, Michael’s name means: ‘One who is as God’. Sunday and Michael are both associated with the Sun. This makes a lot of sense.  Consider, Sunday in earlier eras was commonly established as the day of Sabbath, or day of worship.  The symbolic meaning of the Sun is akin to the spirit, the light that shines bright within us, the fire within the soul.  Archangel Michael and the Sun are mighty partners to enhance our virtues, devotionals, prayers and meditations on Sunday.
