Horoscopes: December 2015
Happy birthday, Sagittarius!
Nov. 22–Dec. 21
This month’s spotlight shines on travel and relationships, no surprise in a busy holiday season. The surprise is in how you relate to your travel and your relationships. You’re looking for people to share your life at the deepest possible level, with intensity as a key component, but you simultaneously need to feel free in your environment while this happens. Interesting dichotomy, is it not?
Your month: Here’s an unusual piece of advice: Make decisions based on what you think in your head, not what you feel in your heart. This month, forget everything you’ve read about following your passion; your wisest counselor is your mind. You possess the ability to collect apparently disparate bits of information and come up with the big picture, then paint it so others can see it too. It’s a gift, and not one to be taken lightly. Use it for yourself right now. Look around you. Examine each bit of collected information concerning what you wanted to be when you grew up. Now you have your answer.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 20): Here are a few questions to ask yourself this month: What can you invent to showcase your unique talents to the max? What can you pursue that’s out of the ordinary and utilizes your current state of individuality? What contribution can you make and what legacy can you leave to the world? How can you channel your tremendous and intense energy into something positive, exciting and challenging? How can you capture the exhilaration of battle without actually fighting and control that energy so it’s not a danger to yourself or others? The answers to these questions hold the answers to your universe.
Aquarius (Jan. 21–Feb. 19): You’ve always known one of your major lessons is to serve others, but it’s easier to dream about a way to benefit humanity than to actually do it. Right now, your spirit is more than willing, but your flesh is just a little weak. Let’s begin with something simpler than saving the whole world, shall we? How about saving a few close friends, co-workers or relatives? You give great advice as long as your feelings aren’t too deeply involved, so tap into your masterful ability to almost psychically ferret out the root of a problem and help a few folks closest to you.
Pisces (Feb. 20–March 20): It’s one of those good news/bad news months. The good news: You’re experiencing so much career activity, you almost don’t have time for holidays. Somehow, you’ve become hard working and respectable. Philanthropy and communication are the keys to your current success, so believe in yourself because you’ve been right all along. Now for the bad news: Communications with your partner? Not so much. Your intentions are good but you have so many ideas and plans, you aren’t sure which ones are right, so you make promises you can’t keep. Expect this whole personal relationship head of steam to blow on Christmas Day. Sorry.
Aries (March 21–April 20): We know it seems like an oxymoron to tell you, “Expect the unexpected,” but this December, opportunities for adventure are all around you. Your search for higher knowledge, interesting travel, foreign cultures, exotic religions, broad philosophies and even formal education provide you with the keys. It’s all about self-learning and, my dear, boredom is not your friend. Don’t hide away waiting for something to happen; meet your challenges head-on. That’s your style. Be public, choose variety and your own ideas, your ability to communicate and your sales and marketing skills. If you can’t do that where you are, move.
Taurus (April 21–May 21): This month is a cozy, squishy, snuggle-in-the-family-bed-and-watch-{Elf} kind of month. You should be getting along with your partner very well, thank you, and your kids too. Everyone looks beautiful to you now, and people bask in that kind of appreciation; it encourages good behavior. So you get the job of peacemaker, for the most part. But to maintain this peace, you need a physical outlet too, or you may fight with co-workers or trip over your own shoelaces. Here’s a suggestion: Pick up a non-team-related sport or join a gym. Workout a lot in December.
Gemini (May 22–June 20): It’s all fun and games this month and no one’s getting hurt, except a few random friends who didn’t get invited to one of your parties. But a heads up from you, and they’re over it. It’s even fun at work, where everyone loves you and feels like family. It may make you a little stressed, fitting all those happy people into your house at the same time. So, as much fun as this all is, it can also be a bit too much of a good thing, if you know what we mean. Don’t worry; you can handle a month of this, right?
Cancer (June 21–July 22): Native Americans called this full moon, in Cancer on the 25th, the cold moon, and it is. It’s also the most powerful moon of the year for you, and it happens to be on Christmas Day, to boot. You can get almost anything done if your intention is to clean out closets, either literally a la Marie Kondo, or psychologically a la Carl Jung. You love holidays with home and family, but December won’t be relaxing for you, as there’s too much to do. Organize each day, pare down your errands to essentials and don’t get stressed out and crazy. That’s when accidents happen.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 23): Some things just seem meant to be, like when you and your loved ones are taking time off, having fun, traveling around and not really thinking about work. Then—wham!—you get the phone call, the letter, the email, the big thumbs-up for your work. This time of year is always lucky for you where work is concerned. While everyone else is kicking their shoes off and kicking back from work, work seeks you out. When it’s offered this month, take it. The opportunity may not seem like much right now, but don’t pass on it. It’s a gift in disguise.
Virgo (Aug. 24–Sept. 22): Your house is full of people and your car is full of gifts, but your work brain doesn’t stop. A wise Virgo shared with me what he calls the “monkey mind,” that obsessive mental loop Virgos (and others) get into when they can’t stop going over and over and over something. And now, while the social norm is to stay wired and connected at all times, your monkey mind can communicate with colleagues throughout the world at all times of the day and night, and never leave your house. It’s all part of your current (secret) partnership agreement with the masses. They need you, holidays or not.
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): Here’s your exercise regimen for December: Hold your words in your mouth and count to 10. Now, swallow them. Repeat. Let’s try that same exercise with an email or text: Write what comes pouring out, everything you feel like saying and count slowly to 10. Now, erase. You feel uncharacteristically impulsive and aggressive this month, so it’s important to hold on to your words, written or verbal, before unleashing them on an unsuspecting public. Be especially careful of colleagues and romantic partners. No need to watch in awe and horror as words you never meant to say fly from your mouth and fingertips.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): There currently exists a warm and intense attraction between you and the rest of the world. Don’t you feel it? It’s that legendary Scorpio magnetism on maximum power and aimed outward in all points of the compass. Whatever you find fascinating and turn your attention to, whether it’s art, travel, nature or design, becomes charming and in demand by association. It’s the image you present, but also your keen interest in other people’s lives. It’s charming, not intrusive because you’re truly interested. This month, you will find lots of things to be fascinated by, and lots of people to charm.
