Monthly
Horoscope:
MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
It's time for some good old-fashioned
revelry, Leo. You're a ball of energy and light for the first three weeks
of December. Dance, feast and flirt with abandon. With the Sun and Venus
in fellow Fire-sign Sagittarius and energetic Mars in Leo, holiday cheer
is abundant. On December 2nd, the Gemini full moon lights your 11th house
of networking and social activity. Hit a charity event or an industry party—the
people you meet around this date could be key players in 2010.
After the 20th, the pace slows down. Mars takes a three-month retrograde (backward) spin, giving you a chance to catch your breath. This fiery red planet has been in Leo since mid-October, packing your life with action and spicy encounters. Now, it's time to rest and regroup, sift through all the nascent ideas, and narrow your focus. You may have less energy during this cycle, but this helps you avoid spreading yourself too thin. Exercise will also boost your vitality, especially when the Sun enters your fitness sector on the 21st.
The year ends with a big psychic release. On December 31st, a lunar eclipse lights your 12th house of endings and closure. It's the healing finish to events that started in July. You may need to mourn a loss or end the year with a good cleansing cry. On the other hand, you may be delighted to leave behind painful events of this year. Spend at least a few healing moments of silence before the calendar turns.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
On December 2nd, Venus enters Sagittarius, your flirty fifth house. Carry
a sprig of mistletoe in your pocket—it will come in handy. On December
16th, the Sagittarius new moon brings a fresh romantic chapter and a
lineup of admirers. Don't stay in unless you have someone to cuddle by
the fire with you.
If you meet someone new, take it slow. Your tendency is to get swept away, but don't start naming babies after the first passionate kiss. Your imagination is running high around this new moon, and you're likely to construct an elaborate fantasy. You love to bond over soul-baring talks, but this month you should reveal personal details at a very slow clip—even if you “feel like you’ve known each other forever.” Getting to know someone doesn't require showing your emotional scar tissue or comparing dysfunctional tales. Bond over the positive, healthy aspects of your lives.
MONEY & CAREER:
Your financial picture is already brighter since strict Saturn left your money sector on October 29th. From September 2007 until this October, you faced challenges and setbacks at work, or felt a restricted flow of financial opportunity. Saturn's obstacles were designed to make you streamline your goals, value your talents, and mature around money management. You may now be in a new line of work, or well aware of the worth you bring to a company. With ambitious Mars in Leo until next June, it's time to raise your rates. Summon that Lion's courage and name your price.
On December 1st, unpredictable Uranus goes direct (forward) in your wealth sector. A surprise bonus or offer could come your way. On the other hand, you may leave a job or a payment could come due, perhaps unexpectedly. An unexpected home repair, like burst pipes or electrical rewiring, could eat into your rainy-day funds. At the December 31st eclipse, you may realize that you're ready to make a clean break and start something entirely new. Do some creative visualization, or make a collage of how your life could look with the job of your dreams. Read the book Ask and It Is Given for ideas on manifesting with the Law of Attraction. Ring up old contacts after December 27th. With Mercury retrograde in your work sector until January 14th, a promising lead awaits within your current network.
HEALTH & FITNESS:
Eat, drink and be merry until December 21st. On that day, the Sun
enters Capricorn, your health-conscious 6th house. Gear up for a 2010 fitness
plan and add more produce to your plate. On December 31st, beautifying Venus
and transformational Pluto are both in Capricorn, pushing you to love yourself
unconditionally. Yes, you have a shadow side, room for improvement and shortcomings
aplenty. Does that mean you have to beat yourself up or feel unworthy of
happiness? Absolutely not.
That same day, the lunar eclipse in your healing 12th house helps you release any old addictions and patterns. If you've fallen off the wagon, resolve to get back on—and this time, fasten your seatbelt. Deal with the old demons of perfectionism that drive you into self-destructive patterns. There are some things you can control, and others that you can't. As the old Serenity Prayer says, find the wisdom to know the difference.
