New Moon Report for Dec. 21 – Sun in Capricorn

New Moon Report

By Jeff Jawer

 

Sun in Capricorn

Wednesday, December 21, 9:30 pm PST, Thursday, December 22, 12:30 am EST

There’s seriousness to the season when the Sun enters earthy Capricorn, marking the Winter Solstice here and the Summer Solstice south of the equator. The desire to put our lives in order leads to New Year’s resolutions and renewed commitment to be more effective during the next twelve months. Discipline and a strong sense of purpose can do wonders, but tense solar transits to electrifying Uranus on December 22 and merciless Pluto on the 29th can flip the energy from chaos to total control in the course of a week. This is an intense holiday period that can scatter good cheer and taint good will toward all with feelings of resentment. The key message is to take responsibility for your own actions instead of trying to tell other people what to do.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 20

Following a short void lunar cycle in Libra – stretching from 1:50AM PST to 2:34AM PST (when the Moon enters Scorpio) — the universe goes on the offensive as a large number of alignments energize the rest of the morning, afternoon and evening. With the lunar Scorpio backdrop of tuning into secrets and mysteries via your detective skills, you can also widen your circle of friends and become more involved in global causes close to your heart as Venus enters Aquarius (10:27AM PST) until January 13. Open the gates to your enhanced psychic abilities and creative imaginative prowess as the Sun forms a supportive, 60-degree alliance with far-out Neptune (12:47PM PST) while Ceres also makes a parallel to Neptune (3:37PM PST). Explore your talents in photography, film and video work, music, art, poetry, calligraphy and dance. Over-optimism can land you in hot water when Venus squares Jupiter (6:20PM PST). Don’t let these two traditional beneficial planets rain on your parade. Better news will arrive at the tail end of the evening when Vesta makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Jupiter (11:17PM PST) a little before Venus makes a similar contact with surprise-bringer Uranus (11:58PM PST). These two aspects toward the end of this 24-hour time-period are tremendous catalysts that can pad your bank account and help you increase the value of your assets. Start gearing up for the shift by giant Jupiter from retrograde to direct motion in Taurus on Sunday December 25.

Weekly Love Horoscopes for Monday, December 19th

Amorous Venus’ move into cool but friendly Aquarius on Tuesday takes some of the heat out of romance this week. Enjoying new people and experiences without commitment or expectations makes sense while most of us are busy with the holidays — that usually entail putting family first. The Capricorn New Moon on Saturday morning reminds us to consider our ambitions for the future.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Amicable Venus in Aquarius bumps into a stressful aspect with your ruling planet Mars on Thursday that can put your social life on edge. Too much analysis will make any plan sound questionable and undermine the potential for cooperation. Earning respect by taking care of responsibilities may not sound sexy, but is probably the best way for you to operate during the busy holiday season.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Traditions may be broken this year, which might not be the way you want to celebrate the holidays. However, your loving ruling planet Venus’ entry into innovative Aquarius on Tuesday tempts you with unconventional relationships and unusual experiences. Rebellious Uranus rattles Saturday’s traditional Capricorn New Moon, so trying to play by the old rules is not likely to earn you favor. Yet being flexible in your thinking is an open invitation to pleasure.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Traveling somewhere different or connecting with people from faraway places could be your ticket to romance this week. Artistic Venus leaps into liberating Aquarius and your 9th House of Long Journeys on Tuesday to bring an exotic touch to your personal life. Yet being adaptable to unexpected changes is essential this weekend when the ambitious Capricorn New Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy tangles with volatile Uranus and formidable Pluto. Keep on your toes so you don’t miss a moment of the action.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Saturday’s earthy Capricorn New Moon sprouts seeds of social possibility in your 7th House of Relationships. But fresh experiences with your current partner or meeting someone for the first time can be filled with complications. Provocative Pluto and chaotic Uranus make stressful contacts to this Sun-Moon conjunction, prompting power struggles and irrational behavior. It’s best to avoid taking anyone too seriously now, including yourself.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Although you are more captivating when flirty Venus slips into your 7th House of Partners on Tuesday, this weekend is more about being helpful to others than fulfilling your romantic dreams. Saturday’s serious Capricorn New Moon lands in your 6th House of Service, putting greater emphasis on taking care of business than having fun. Nevertheless, working alongside an attractive individual could combine the best of both worlds.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Saturday’s earthy Capricorn New Moon falls in your 5th House of Romance, which is usually a major plus for personal pleasure. Yet complicated connections from manipulative Pluto and restless Uranus can make it difficult to find the comfortable company you desire. Quickly adapting to unexpected changes of plans and moods is a good way to overcome these challenges and find delight in the midst of unusual circumstances.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your magnetic planet Venus dances into unconventional Aquarius and your 5th House of Romance on Tuesday to put more spice in your social life. You may be rewarded with unexpected pleasure when you experiment with different kinds of people or out-of-the-ordinary activities. Pushing the limits of playfulness is fine since you have the necessary charm to smooth any ruffled feathers. The key to happiness now is to enjoy each moment without looking too far down the road.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Life is easier when you let go of some control this week. Sweet Venus enters freedom-loving Aquarius and your 4th House of Home and Family on Tuesday, signaling a need to lighten up and let go of rigid rules and expectations. An intense Capricorn New Moon on Saturday triggers control issues that can dampen the holiday mood. Yet if you’re willing to take the high road and adjust your plans, you should receive a few pleasant surprises.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your sense of self-esteem may take off on a wild ride this weekend due to the industrious Capricorn New Moon spotlighting your 2nd House of Resources. Normally, you would just have to work harder and show more commitment to upgrade your image, but tense connections with the Sun and Moon create surprising complications. Pluto provokes change and unpredictable Uranus spurs uncertainty, alerting you to make some quick adjustments when necessary. Don’t forget to bring out your sassy sense of humor when you need it most.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Get ready for a highly unusual holiday weekend that can pull you between your strong sense of duty and a desire to get away from it all. The New Moon in your ambitious sign on Saturday is agitated by potent Pluto and revolutionary Uranus, triggering rebellious feelings and sudden surprises. Keep your options open and your obligations limited so you have some freedom to alter your plans as your mood or circumstances dictate.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Alluring Venus enters your sign on Tuesday, casting you in a more desirable light and opening the door to new forms of fun. This transit continues through Jan. 13, giving you plenty of time to cash in some romantic chips. However, this weekend is complicated by a serious Capricorn New Moon roiled by stressful aspects with Uranus and Pluto. Power struggles and control issues may lead you to seek a quiet, private place away from all the noise.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Trying to maintain order among friends and relatives may be especially challenging this weekend. It’s hard to focus on personal pleasure if you’re surrounded by an unruly group. It may be wiser to step away now than to wade into a chaotic situation. Taking care of yourself is your first priority. When you’re able to stay calm and centered, you’ll be better equipped to handle people’s inappropriate behavior and whatever other surprises life throws your way.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, Dec. 18th

The arrival of Libra Moon (12:07AM PST) each month usually signals a golden opportunity to smooth over relationship troubles and to explore your gifts as a creative artist. The challenge right now is that Venus in Capricorn forms a square to Saturn in Libra (6:19AM PST). This is known in the astrological terminology as a mutual reception because Venus is located in a Saturn-ruled sign (Capricorn) while Saturn is located in a Venus-ruled sign (Libra). This can be helpful and supportive if the mathematical connection between the two celestial bodies is harmonious. However, the square of 90-degrees is usually more frictional and abrasive in its nature. The bottom line is that you can still make a couple of great leaps forward in strengthening the bonds of a primary partnership and tapping into your artistic treasure-trove of skills is do-able. Whether or not, you will feel totally happy and confident during the process is questionable. And some rough edges – on the emotional plane in particular – are likely to arise. Cautionary and conservative vibes coming from the beautiful ringed planet are also strong around 5:00PM PST as the Moon parallels Saturn. By tomorrow, a Sun-Saturn 60-degree tie will combine with the monthly Moon-Saturn zodiacal union to really ramp up the serious and profound energy-field associated with this planet that has much to do with focus, hard work, structure, form, responsibility and climbing up the ladder of worldly success.

Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 18th

Although we seek harmony today, we may feel as if our lives are out of balance. The Moon shifts into Libra the Scales at 3:06 am EST, but tense aspects with wild Uranus and intense Pluto push us to the limits of extreme emotions. Meanwhile, loving Venus is more restrained now as she forms a square to restrictive Saturn, setting obstacles on the path to pleasure. We’re tempted to retreat, wondering if relationships are worth so much effort.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You might prefer to be a hermit today, but obligations that involve others may get in your way. You don’t mind being with someone you like, but it seems as if even your best friends are making too many demands on you now. Although you are socially oriented by nature, it’s healthier to get in touch with your own needs than to be distracted by trying to meet another person’s expectations. Spend some time by yourself so you can feel better about interpersonal relationships later on.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may acknowledge that slowing down is healthy, but you resent the limitations that your current commitments are placing on you. Instead of stubbornly fighting the resistance you face today, just let go of your personal agenda for a while. The path ahead will open for you when you aren’t pressuring everyone to follow your plan. Relax and go with the flow.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t seem to be very interested in listening to other people’s criticism today. It isn’t that your beliefs are based upon idealistic fantasies; it’s just that you can see the flaws in a current relationship as well as anyone else. But you know that your feelings come and go, like the rising and falling of the tides, so it’s pointless to struggle against strong currents. It may be wiser to wait for the tide to change before announcing your intentions.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Although others seem to go out of their way to be nice to you now, you can intuitively sense if they’re being shallow and just saying positive things to get attention. However, they may genuinely want to be your friend. Moving past your fears and expressing your concerns will force the issue, enabling you to see if your initial resistance was well founded. Be honest; it’s more important to maintain your integrity than to keep up appearances.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There may be noticeable forward movement concerning your finances today, but things still aren’t progressing as fast as you wish. Everything is taking more time than it should, so nothing you do seems to have the desired effect. But rather than being too self-critical or getting frustrated, a smarter strategy now might be to retreat. Stop chasing your tail for no reason; instead, be kind to yourself and replenish your energy reserves.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Self-doubt leads you to reconsider a decision made recently, especially if you weren’t being realistic about your abilities. Your assumptions may be irrational and your expectations exaggerated, since you were looking at your life through rose-colored glasses. However, now you’re beginning to see things in their proper light again. Don’t give up prematurely; you might be discouraged today, yet the situation will likely work out beneficially in the long run.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

These days may not flow easily, but even with the holiday distractions you are more concerned with your work and family issues. Paradoxically, you could look back on this time with great appreciation for everything you had to endure. Nevertheless, circumstances are forcing you to make much-needed constructive changes. Don’t waste energy fighting the inevitable. Letting go of control helps makes room for whatever comes next.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If you are a harsh judge of yourself or others, you could inadvertently push someone away. But no matter what you do today, fate will ultimately play a deciding role in the outcome of events. It’s futile to limit your options, even if you cannot see the positive potential in the current situation. Instead of placing so much attention on what could happen, just go along for the ride. Most minor problems seem bigger now than they really are and will resolve naturally in just a few days.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You could be having a tough time now keeping up with everyone in your life. Some of your peers seem to be moving faster than you are today, yet you aren’t overly motivated to catch up. You finally realize that everyone has a different role to play, so you really don’t need to maintain the hectic pace unless it’s warranted. It’s difficult acknowledging that you can’t do everything you wanted to do. However, letting go of dreams that have not panned out will make you happier in the long run.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your pragmatic outlook on life enables you to be less emotional about cutting your losses and moving on. However, it’s not wise to act too quickly because your key planet Saturn squares delicious Venus, subduing your pleasures and delaying real gratification. You may sell yourself short now, so wait a few days before making a significant agreement. Although the odds don’t appear to be in your favor today, the energy will shift in a few days.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

It’s not wise to pin your hopes for personal satisfaction on a romantic relationship now because you would be better off to aim for a higher expression of love. Sensual enjoyment isn’t out of the question, but a deeper and more spiritual connection can bring you greater happiness. Even if the fulfillment of a wonderful fantasy seems out of reach, don’t let that stop you from aspiring toward becoming a more compassionate person.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s hard to get into the holiday spirit today, even though the season is drawing near. Unfortunately, you might feel as if you missed the rocket ship that was scheduled to carry you into next year. But you’re not ready to let go of old dreams, even if you’re feeling disappointed. Your vision is being tested; don’t take the easy way out by just discarding what’s important to you. Keep the faith, no matter what.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 17th

Organizational themes are a number one concern with the Moon continuing its monthly transit through Virgo. Eliminate non-essentials from cupboards, drawers and closets. Be the efficiency master in the residential and business realms. Out with clutter; in with order. Antique hunters and collectible aficionados are in their glory when the Moon illuminates this sixth sign of the zodiac – associated very strongly with valuable items from the past that have particular or unusual markings, engravings, signatures and historical meaning. Clean-up campaigns are also reinforced to make sure everything shines again with its original essence. When the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase arrives (energizing 26 degrees of Sagittarius and Virgo at 4:49PM PST), cut through obstacles on your mental and even spiritual path. Tap into your creative artistry or come from the heart with a primary partner shortly thereafter as a Moon-Venus flowing trine in earth signs provides a loving boost (6:30PM PST). Nevertheless, this Moon-Venus connection also begins a 5+ hour void cycle that lasts until 12:07AM PST on Sunday when the Moon enters affable, airy Libra. It is wise to simmer down emotionally during this void lunar twilight zone. Finish odd jobs and projects with finesse while waiting until the lunar orb enters Libra before launching new, bold initiatives.

Cosmic Calendar for December 15th

Last night’s Mars-Saturn contra-parallel has some staying power and can give you the creeps, so-to-speak. Any time the two traditional malefic planets combine their influence, the urge to be rash and to control may form a diabolical configuration. However, coming to a partial rescue is a Moon-Jupiter parallel (1:07AM PST). Similar to a zodiacal union between the lunar orb and the largest planet, this Moon-Jupiter rapport gives you feelings of self-confidence and enthusiasm. Adding to the morning upbeat vibrations is a Sun-Moon trine in fire signs as the two lights form their 120-degree connection from Sagittarius to Leo at 8:07AM PST. Unleash your creative skills in an unusual artistic medium or play a favorite musical instrument with flair. Watch out for rising volatility around the time of a Moon-Mars parallel (12:46PM PST). Later on, confusion may be engulfing a key partnership as the Moon in Leo makes its monthly opposition to Neptune in Aquarius (5:21PM PST). Haziness on your part won’t help the situation. Fortunately, this Moon-Neptune polarity – which starts a void lunar cycle lasting until 8:00PM PST – won’t remain influential for more than a couple of hours. By the time the Moon enters industrious and meticulous Virgo at 8:00PM PST, you can now focus attention on the small details in life that either sustain your prodigious efforts or send you off on wild-goose chases for answers to subtle problems. Stock up on cereals, grains, tea, herbs, vitamins, supplements, nuts, seeds and seasonings as the Moon in Virgo trines Jupiter in Taurus (8:56PM PST). Literary and educational pursuits are reinforced. Be prepared for some new cosmic shenanigans on Friday as Mars locks horns with Jupiter while Vesta finds comfort in Neptune’s embrace.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Monday, December 12th

If some of your pep and dynamism have been restricted as of late, it might be due to the recent Mercury reversal in Sagittarius that has been in effect since November 23. This doesn’t mean Mercury has been a bad or negative celestial influence – only that it hasn’t been moving in the same direction as the Sun and Moon (the two luminaries in the sky). Once Mercury makes its station tomorrow and returns to direct motion, it is easier for your mental interests and communication skills to line up creatively with your overall character (Sun) and personality expression (Moon). Meanwhile, as Mercury slows down in its retrograde cycle today, you want to strive to maintain productivity across the board as the Sun squares Ceres (3:32AM PST). This largest asteroid – Ceres – has much to do with productivity via its affiliations with Mother Nature, agriculture, gardening, food, diet and nutrition. Fortunately, 7 hours after the Sun moves 90-degrees to Ceres, Venus makes a constructive, 60-degree link to Ceres (10:46AM PST) – helping you stay busy and active with favorite arts, crafts and hobbies. Hit the scientific, metaphysical and astrological books this evening – courtesy of a subtle and yet still supportive, 30-degree tie from Jupiter in Taurus to Uranus in Aries (9:24PM PST). Once Jupiter shifts its retrograde energy-field to direct motion on Christmas Day, it will eventually play catch up with Uranus to form another one of these 30-degree links on January 17, 2012. While the 30-degree aspect is considered minor by most astrologers, it still has the power to give you a lift or breakthrough that can change your life for the better.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 11th

We may retreat to reconnect with our feelings when the Moon shifts into reflective Cancer at 8:25 am EST. But the Moon’s square to wild Uranus and opposition to intense Pluto suggest that our inner journey won’t be an easy one if we reconsider old insecurities that resurface now. We must think before we speak, since a stressful Mercury-Venus semisquare encourages us to ask for what we want without being concerned about other people’s feelings.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may have a familiar sinking feeling today as you realize that your actions are not supporting your desires. It’s no fun to encounter this same dilemma again, yet you’re still tempted to take the path of denial by ignoring the message of your heart. Keep in mind that you will be happier once you stop long enough to listen to your emotions. Unfortunately, intuition isn’t useful if you keep overriding it with rational thoughts and empty justifications.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You could feel stuck behind a wall of worry as you hold on to old beliefs that aren’t relevant to your current situation. Nevertheless, you may still create convincing stories to justify your fears today. But self-doubt isn’t helpful and only increases your sense of isolation. Rather than looking back to the past, envision the future just as you wish to see it. Focusing on positive affirmations is smarter now than playing into a more negative outlook.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t have to stay in constant motion today, even if you’re accustomed to running around. Although you may not be accomplishing much while moving at high speed, you could be pleasantly surprised with all you can get done just by slowing down. However, you might need to make other changes, too. Instead of trying to demonstrate your cleverness to everyone, listening more attentively will probably impress others more.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The Moon returns to your introspective sign today, increasing your sensitivity and making you more aware of your inner process. You’re finally able to find the right words to describe how you feel. However, being clear about your needs is complicated because your moods change often now. You may be happy one moment and sad the next, so it’s crucial to inform others that your disclosures are true, but your thinking is still in flux.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Events may take a turn for the better today, yet you’re reminded that everything still takes longer than you expect. You might end up feeling disappointed if you think that you can push the river faster than it’s already flowing. However, you should be able to relax a bit once you remember that all water reaches the sea in time. Be smart and allow current events to follow their own natural course without any unnecessary pressure.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your mental gymnastics could be a way to maintain your illusion of control today. However, there’s nothing to be gained now by struggling with your analysis of a crucial issue. Sticking to the facts isn’t helpful because important information can come to you through the symbols in your imagination. Obstacles will be easier to overcome once you acknowledge the significance of your dreams even if they don’t make sense.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not normally like to play the role of a mother hen, but the nurturing Cancer Moon is visiting your 10th House of Public Responsibility, encouraging you to stick your nose in everyone else’s business. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to distinguish between your need to be in control and your well-intentioned desire to help someone. Still, you can derive benefit from your intervention if you’re willing to stop to re-examine your motives prior to offering assistance.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You can feel the rejuvenating effect from the Moon’s presence in fellow Water sign Cancer. Unfortunately, you might have been so busy recently that you forgot to check in with your feelings. Thankfully, it’s time to reconnect with your own center today. Once you move through your initial resistance, fears will dissipate and your reluctance will morph into the anticipation of what comes next.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

A difficult emotional encounter isn’t usually enough to adversely affect your naturally upbeat attitude, yet you still might forget to count your blessings today. Although you’re quite able to sidestep the oncoming negativity, you could feel like a deer trapped by its own fear as it stares into the oncoming headlights. Nevertheless, you are in control of your own destiny and a passionate exchange could put you in touch with an important spiritual truth that leads you out of danger.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may grow annoyed if a close friend or partner seems overly needy today. You might even misinterpret someone’s emotional behavior as an apparent sign of weakness, especially if you don’t want your own feelings to stand in the way of your ambitions. Be careful; suppressing your more vulnerable side creates the wrong impression. Ironically, being open about your discomfort with someone else’s problems can actually lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be worried about how your close friends and family perceive you today, but don’t waste any time or energy on brooding. Thankfully, you should receive sufficient support so you can move through your fears pretty quickly. Shifting your focus away from your inner world and onto external events helps you maintain a positive attitude so you can make the most of the day.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

An unspoken attraction could turn into an obsession today if you are trying to ignore the strong feelings you have for someone special. Avoiding your desires by pretending they don’t exist is not a healthy strategy because your secret feelings gain power if they remain in the dark. Just remember that you can acknowledge what you want without necessarily acting on it.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, December 11th

Yesterday’s Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse may seem like ancient history, but their vibrations remain potent. The 48-hour time-period after any solar-lunar polarity represents an opportunity to distribute the illuminating energy-field that has just activated the Earth and humanity. How do you sign up to be an erstwhile distributor? There is no group to join – only the awareness of what is happening in the sky just before, during and after every Full Moon. Helping you send out revelations to dear ones and colleagues is a Moon-Neptune flowing trine in air signs (2:25AM PST) followed by a Sun-Chiron 72-degree link (4:35AM PST) and Venus-Uranus 72-degree connection (5:45AM PST). Both 72-degree aspects – based on dividing the 360-degree zodiacal circle by 5 – are high-level, empowering sky patterns. The only challenge partially holding back your efforts this morning is a 3-hour void lunar cycle happening from 2:25AM PST to 5:27AM PST (when the Moon enters its natural abode of watery Cancer). However, once the Moon is swimming happily in the fourth sign of the zodiac, home and family interests rise to the top of the totem pole. Nurturing loved ones is reinforced as the Moon makes a supportive, 60-degree rapport with expansive Jupiter (6:50AM PST) while also forming a harmonious trine of 120-degrees with shaman-like Chiron (7:35AM PST). While communications are somewhat constrained when Mercury forms a frictional, 45-degree tie with Venus (4:57PM PST), Vesta in Aquarius is helping you increase the value of your investments and assets by making a fairly rare trine to Saturn in Libra (11:57PM PST). Learn more about how stock, bond, precious-metal, currency and commodity markets work.

Your Daily Horoscopes for December 10th

The tension between our most immediate needs and our future goals is amplified today when the unsettled Gemini Full Moon Eclipse is illuminated by the Sun in far-reaching Sagittarius at 9:36 am EST. Unexpected events can suddenly relieve the stress because erratic Uranus ends its retrograde period. Additional weirdness abounds as the Sun forms otherworldly septiles with conservative Saturn and rebellious Uranus, turning this busy day upside down.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s challenging to find your groove today because the Gemini Lunar Eclipse rattles your 3rd House of Immediate Environment. However, you may finally establish a sustainable rhythm later in the day once your frustration peaks. It’s pointless wasting energy worrying about what you could have done if only you were able to focus sooner. Instead, just do what you can, knowing that your concentration will improve over the days ahead.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you probably won’t want to deal with financial concerns today, it’s wise to attend to money matters with the Gemini Lunar Eclipse stressing your 2nd House of Personal Resources. At least make sure your bills are paid before you purchase a luxury item. It’s smart to know exactly how much you have to spend, especially with the holidays rapidly approaching. Keep in mind that the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart and not just the wallet.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel anxious today with the Full Moon Eclipse in your restless sign, especially if you recently made commitments that you’re now reconsidering. Your vulnerability leaves you feeling uncomfortable, tempting you to escape by withdrawing socially or running away from an unsatisfactory romantic involvement. Nevertheless, don’t make any impulsive moves that could adversely affect a meaningful relationship because your emotions are still in a state of flux.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s challenging to understand your own feelings today as the Gemini Lunar Eclipse polarizes your 12th House of Fantasy. Although your emotions may be quite intense, frustration is high because words can’t express what you want. Don’t try so hard to get your message across now. It will be much easier to say what you want tomorrow after the Moon enters your sign and you can speak from your heart.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

This could be a very social day as the Gemini Full Moon Eclipse energizes your 11th House of Friends. But the stress level may be amplified because you wish you could have quality time with a special companion instead of being one of the group. However, losing yourself in a crowd isn’t all bad, for it allows you to maintain some anonymity. But it’s a good idea to wait until you’re ready before talking about a topic that you’re not ready to share.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Today’s Full Moon Eclipse in adaptable Gemini stimulates your 10th House of Career, revealing your ambiguity about work these days. You’re being pulled in two directions, making it tough to choose a single course of action. Meanwhile, personal activities or projects at home could distract you from professional responsibilities. Postpone major decisions for a few days until you have had more time to think things through.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your desire to go somewhere far away accentuates your restless feelings today as the Gemini Lunar Eclipse activates your 9th House of Adventure. However, the Moon is offset by the Sun in your 3rd House of Immediate Environment, giving you good reasons to stay close to home. Don’t worry if you can’t resolve your current travel dilemma right away. Daydreaming about an incredible journey from the comfort of your couch may be better now than actually taking one at this time.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might believe that you have chosen the easier path, only to realize that the Gemini Lunar Eclipse in your 8th House of Deep Sharing has drawn you into a complicated emotional situation. Thankfully, you’re quick to establish a healthy perspective; your communication skills come to your aid today as you extricate yourself as gracefully as possible from any unnecessary drama. Remember, it’s your choice; only you can decide where you want to direct your energy now.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re focusing on the distance now as you dream and scheme your way into the future. You might wish that nothing was standing in your way, but you still may need to stop and consider someone else’s point of view, too. Today’s Gemini Full Moon Eclipse shakes your 7th House of Partners, suggesting the presence of an unseen aspect of a relationship that complicates your current plans. Don’t make any major decisions until you share your thoughts with those you trust.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have so many chores to do today that you feel pushed and pulled in a variety of directions. The Gemini Full Moon Eclipse in your 6th House of Daily Routine scatters your energy, making it difficult to follow through on any single task. However, you can use your imagination to help create your future. Keep your dreams alive at any cost, even if you’re feeling frustrated because of your lack of progress. Don’t worry; you will soon regain your focus and continue on your path.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Today’s interactive Gemini Lunar Eclipse stimulates your 5th House of Love and Creativity. Actions usually speak louder than words, but communicating your feelings now is the most direct way to connect with others. But don’t get distracted by witty phrases and clever comebacks. Hold on to your vision of what you want to say and keep bringing yourself back to the essential point so that your message is well-received.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may have community responsibilities today, but the Gemini Full Moon Eclipse in your 4th House of Home and Family encourages you to remember the importance of your personal life, too. Naturally, you must keep up with your worldly obligations, but don’t use them as an excuse to evade domestic issues. Balancing your public life with your private affairs helps to minimize problems in the future.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 10th

Stop, look and listen! Not only is Uranus still motionless in early Aries, but a potent New Moon (energizing 19 degrees of Sagittarius and Gemini) clocks in at 6:37AM PST – just 4 minutes after a Total Lunar Eclipse occurs at 6:33AM PST. Individual and group meditations are encouraged. Send out your healing thoughts and prayers to friends, family, associates, and the kingdoms of nature. Open the gates of knowledge and see yourself evolving as a wisdom-keeper. Realize that the simultaneous station of Uranus is adding an enormous dynamism to today’s potential achievements across the board. New ideas, containing enormous power to change the consciousness of the masses, are streaming into the Earth – just waiting for your eager mind to seize the day and turn your life around for the ultimate good. While everything that is serious and profound is accentuated – thanks to both the presence of the Full Moon as well as a flowing trine from the Moon in Gemini to Saturn in Libra (11:06PM PST) – word, board or card games can top the charts. Put more oomph into beloved hobbies and favorite arts and crafts. Weather permitting – fly a kite, kick a soccer ball around or toss the Frisbee to a pal or well-trained pet canine. Watch out for the shadow side of the Sagittarius and Gemini energy-field which sometimes create split-personality vibrations and dualistic thinking that sustain unnecessary worries and self-doubts. Focus more on helping and nurturing dear ones than pushing your own agenda.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscopes for Dec. 9 – 11

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Edgy Energy

December 9 – 11

Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride with a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in jittery Gemini this weekend. The Moon flies into chatty Gemini on Thursday night, stimulating conversations but undercutting concentration. Maintaining focus isn’t easy with this lunar placement as the tumultuous emotions aroused by Saturday’s Full Moon can make you dizzy with diverse thoughts and feelings. This is definitely not the time to make major decisions unless they’ve been carefully considered and now you’re ready to pull the trigger. The atmosphere is highly charged, which can spark impulsive reactions at any moment.

Pushy Mars in orderly Virgo could bring frustration to the surface with its stressful 90-degree square to the Full Moon. Putting edgy energy into constructive projects is one way to apply this force positively. Rebellious Uranus also turns forward this weekend, waking the slumbering forces of radical change. This energetic shift adds another stick of dynamite waiting to be lit on this explosive weekend.

A lunar shift into cuddly Cancer on Sunday morning awakens feelings of vulnerability, yet this caring sign can also inspire you to help someone in need when compassion for others overcomes a sense of personal victimhood.

Uranus Direct for December 9th

Uranus Direct for December 9th

by Jeff Jawer

 

Uranus Direct

Friday, December 9

The coming chill of winter will not cool deep-seated desires for change when revolutionary Uranus turns direct. This planet has been retrograde since July 9, inhibiting the expression of original thoughts. Breakthroughs that have been bubbling under the surface are likely to appear more frequently during the next eight months. Some of them may be brilliantly exciting but many will be disturbing. However, transformation on personal and collective levels, no matter how destabilizing and frightening it can be now, is needed to revitalize and redirect humanity.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Friday, December 9th

The two days before any Full Moon are a 48-hour time-period of preparation for the enlightenment that can descend into humanity and every soul who is seeking spiritual illumination. We are well within that 48-hour window of potential inspiration since the Full Moon – combined with a Total Lunar Eclipse – will happen tomorrow morning. However, there is an added dose of higher vibrations waiting to come through the cosmic pipeline and into the human kingdom on Earth as Uranus in Aries is poised to make its official station – turning from reverse to direct – tonight at 11:05PM PST. Today’s combination of curious, eager and adaptable Gemini Moon with a stationary Uranus – a key agent of revolutionary changes, flashes of genius, shock waves, surprises, and breakthroughs or breakdowns in consciousness – can be quite a handful. Think more about your exalted destiny in this lifetime and how you can exert your leadership qualities to enhance the flow of goodwill around our beleaguered home planet in the solar system. Be aware that Uranus is also stopping at the first degree of Aries – the same place it was located in back in March 2011 when the zodiacal year began with an exceedingly rare Sun-Uranus union at the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The forces of personal liberation and freedom from tyrannical forms of authoritarian control are spreading like wildfires across nations and continents – part of a larger cycle of Uranus entering Aries every 84 years and synchronizing with tumultuous shifts on terra firma.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, December 8th

The clock is ticking louder as we near both the official turnaround of Uranus – from reverse to direct in Aries – tomorrow night while the potent Full Moon (also a Total Lunar Eclipse) will occur the following morning on Saturday December 10. Wow! While last weekend was filled with martial intensity and void lunar uncertainty, there is an extraordinary vibration of high-level genius that is ready to descend on humanity and awakened individuals from December 9 to 11. Meanwhile, the two largest celestial bodies – the Sun and Jupiter – play cat-and-mouse games early today as they make a dicey, 135-degree link (12:44AM PST). Overdoing a good thing and being too self-centered will boomerang. A touch of humility is the right celestial seasoning to start this day. Fashion, style, elegance and beauty are themes some 11 hours later when Venus makes a supportive, 60-degree tie to Juno (11:48AM PST). Check out the latest designs on the apparel, jewelry and art fronts. Your creative imagination and psychic sensitivity can be clicking on all cylinders – thanks to an inspirational, 72-degree tie from the Sun to Neptune (12:03PM PST). Where you may need to slow your tempo in pragmatic business matters is during the void lunar cycle in Taurus that starts at 3:40PM PST and continues until 6:53PM PDT. Complete odds and ends during this 3+ hour uncertainty zone, and then move forward with key communications and literary pursuits once the Moon enters airy Gemini (6:53PM PST). Light-hearted discussions, arts, crafts and beloved hobbies are in the spotlight for the rest of the evening

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, December 7th

We can hold the lid on reality today with help from the stubborn Taurus Moon, even as sensuous Venus’ semisquare to dreamy Neptune stimulates our imaginations. Nevertheless, we can maintain our focus on whatever’s happening if we follow the wisdom of the Taurus Moon and keep things as simple as possible. Meanwhile, an otherworldly septile between steady Saturn and wild Uranus can catch us off guard with a surprise if our concentration wanders.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Sometimes you cannot be patient, but fortunately you have the good sense to wait today. You know there are good times to be had, but you’re not prepared to face the stiff consequences of unfinished responsibilities. An intelligent strategy involves setting a pace that won’t wear you out. Working steadily enables you to accomplish your goals, so you can then go out and have a wonderful time without any lingering guilt.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You have an unflappable determination, making it possible to accomplish nearly anything that you set your mind to now. Nevertheless, stating your intention is pointless unless you’re willing to follow through by executing your plan. Your certainty may be unshakeable, but you still might need some help getting motivated today. Don’t try to handle everything on your own; ask your associates to work with you until you gain sufficient momentum.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be picking up strange messages from the cosmos today and this could mess with your sense of reality. At first everything seems copasetic, but then something happens to remind you of how much you don’t understand. But rather than wondering about unsolvable mysteries, it’s smarter to concentrate your attention on the tasks immediately in front of you. The simple act of finishing a job now will bring more satisfaction than anything else.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Being around other people stimulates your fantasies today, but an active imagination doesn’t mean that you want to share your thoughts. Your daydreams may be quite vivid, but you could feel unsure of yourself as you also remember a prior experience when your plan didn’t quite make the grade. You might be a little wobbly as you overcome lost confidence. However, there’s no need to act any tougher than you are; leaning on your friends reveals them to be the steady pillars that you need.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Don’t waste any energy doubting yourself today because your intuition is right on track. Unfortunately, your uncertainty could lead you into an argument as you attempt to justify your point of view without the necessary facts at hand. But it doesn’t matter whether anyone understands why you have chosen your current path. Just give your presentation your very best and your friends will eventually see the wisdom in what you do.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

There’s no reason to set your goals very high today, because it’s more important that you reach your destination than it is to tire yourself out attempting to go too far. Your wisdom comes from your practicality, which could mean working less and enjoying yourself more. Don’t worry if your current productivity is less than what you promised; there is more going on now than meets the eye and you’ll make up for lost time in the next few days.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are motivated today by your strong desire for pleasure, especially within the safe boundaries of an intimate relationship. Although someone might believe that you’re being lazy now, you’re eager to work extra hard if you can see a reward for your efforts. Unfortunately, your attitude may be so out of character that others perceive you as being selfish. Remember, taking care of your own needs is sometimes the best way to replenish your vitality, leaving you with even more to give to those you love.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A partner or close friend might tell you exactly what he or she thinks you need to know today. You might feel as if everyone’s attention on you is turning a simple problem into a more complex one. Few will doubt your ability to overcome an obstacle, but it’s still difficult to keep everything in perspective now. Don’t become self-righteous or your pompous indignation will only make matters worse. Keep your mind open, even if you don’t like what you hear.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

The Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Well-Being has you thinking about making improvements to your health regimen, diet or exercise program. However, little incremental steps are more efficient now than setting larger changes into motion. Don’t set yourself up for failure by taking on too much at once. For now, thinking small is better than falsely believing that you’re capable of fixing everything at once.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Jolly Jupiter and the Moon meandering through your 5th House of Fun and Games might distract you from firming up your plans today. Your smartest strategy may not be apparent because this is likely to be a counter-intuitive day. If you feel too good, you could grow lazy while justifying your lack of initiative. But this approach isn’t helpful in the long run, even if you can get by without a lot of effort. The real work at hand is to map out your future while your creativity is running high.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be reflecting on your life now and remembering a plan that went wrong or all the times you failed to meet someone’s expectations. Thankfully, the memories can also make you smile because you can’t help but think about the good times, too. This nostalgic journey could be quite therapeutic and allows you to return to the present moment with an improved attitude and a lighter heart.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s visit to your 3rd House of Immediate Surroundings indicates that your siblings or closest friends might play a very active role in your life today. Allies could easily step in and give you the support you need to feel safe and secure. But don’t take your desire to establish connections too far. If you try too hard, you could inadvertently create a gulf between you and someone special.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 7th

Two days ago, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Virgo linked up via a harmonious, trine pattern of 120-degrees. This creative association of the two main cosmic symbols of the feminine and masculine principles doesn’t occur that frequently. This morning – at 7:03AM PST and then at 10:48AM PST – the Moon in Taurus forms flowing trines, first to Mars and then to Venus. This actually makes a grand triangle in earth signs in the zodiac – an auspicious, geometric talisman that can signify your own success and achievements manifesting in the real world. A Mercury-Pluto parallel (2:53PM PST) adds an exclamation point to the foregoing by simultaneously activating your spiritual willpower and mental concentration. Whether you can pull this off and be eminently fortunate in money matters, business negotiations and career pursuits is not necessarily 100% in the cards because you also need to be in the right place, at the right time, and in the right state of consciousness. In addition, every individual has his or her own horoscope of many celestial bodies that is being impacted daily by what are called transits and progressions (ongoing cycles of the heavenly orbs) that provide the kinds of events that fill our lives in every 24-hour time-period. Remember – as pointed out in this calendar two days ago – that the first of the outer planets (Uranus) is virtually stationary this entire week, but will officially shift from retrograde to direct in Aries on Friday evening December 9. You may be tuning into the Uranian signals of radical change and intuitional awareness even now before the actual station of Uranus in the sky. This is not that unusual as our human minds and nervous systems are much more advanced than we understand at this stage of evolution.
