MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Hang your stocking early this month:
Santa's starry helpers slip in to stuff it with gold. The Sun is in Sagittarius,
your work and money sector, until December 21st. While others party, this
is high season for making business contacts, meeting milestones, even getting
a new job. On December 2nd, the Gemini full moon beams into your eighth
house of wealth and windfalls. You may be one of the proud few to receive
a year-end bonus—and it's much deserved.
On the 21st, the Sun moves into Capricorn, your social third house. Dial down the workaholic frenzy and get into party mode. Expect to meet some fascinating new friends and inspiring thinkers, especially in your community. Volunteer for local events like a food drive or serving Christmas dinner at a homeless shelter. On New Year's Eve, a lunar eclipse in your inspiring ninth house opens a huge energy portal for 2010. New opportunities for travel, education or entrepreneurship could emerge shortly after the new year.
LOVE & ROMANCE:
You crave stability, but in order to achieve that, you need freedom from your past. Easier said than done. Scorpio is the sign of intense attachment and soul-level bonding. Once you let someone into your heart, it's for lifetimes. Unstable Uranus has been retrograde (backward) in your romance sector for five months, making it even harder to let go of an ex-lover's hold. On December 1st, Uranus goes direct (forward), helping you move on.
Remember: you never have to stop loving anyone, even if you're not involved in a partnership anymore. At the Gemini full moon on December 2nd, release your earthbound ties to divine helpers. Picture the relationship being transmuted into white light and coming back to you as healing, angelic love. Keep that love with you at all times and allow it to comfort you.
The clearing energy of this full moon expands the love channels for all Scorpios. Some may get engaged or pregnant. Others may finalize a divorce or division of assets. Intense emotions will surface either way, as this moon completes a six-month life cycle that began in June 2009. Don't deny your feelings. Often, the only way out of something is to go through it. Trust that abundant love awaits on the other side.
MONEY & CAREER:
Financial opportunity flows freely during the first three weeks
of December, while Sun and attractor Venus are in Sagittarius, your money
sector. On top of that, ambitious Mars is in Leo, your career house, helping
you hobnob with influential colleagues. One of them could be a wealthy investor
or patron, especially near the December 2nd Gemini full moon. You could receive
an unexpected bonus or gift. For some Scorpios, a large payment may come
due. If it does, you'll be able to gather the funds quickly.
On December 16th, the Sagittarius new moon could bring an opportunity or a job offer at a secure company. Is it a chance of a lifetime or a gilded cage? Tough call. Although you enjoy security, you hate being told what to do. In some cases, a higher degree of autonomy is worth a few less dollars in your check. Weigh the pros and cons between responsibility and freedom carefully.
On the 20th, Mars goes retrograde for three months, which could lead to frustrating delays. You want overnight action, but alas Scorpio, you'll need to be patient and follow protocol—what a drag. Of course, the Cancer lunar eclipse on New Year's Eve could convince you to go solo. This eclipse falls in your independent, entrepreneurial ninth house. You may decide to go back to school, teach or blaze your own trail. You may become involved in a metaphysical project, or one benefitting a global cause or cross-cultural awareness.
HEALTH & FITNESS:
December is the last full month of expansive Jupiter in Aquarius,
your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. It's been
a rather internal year for many Scorpios, and you've grown emotionally.
Jupiter has been here since January 2009, awakening both your maternal
instincts and your "inner child." Your focus has been putting
down roots, buying a home or creating a stronger sense of self. You may
have had to play caretaker to a female friend or relative, or been unofficially
adopted by an older woman mentor.
Now, you're ready to drill down to yet another layer of self-care. Saturn has settled into Libra, your twelfth house of healing and spirituality. This disciplined planet began its three-year tour of Libra on October 29th. Between now and 2012, learn how to ask for help. This is a scary prospect for many Scorpios—you harbor deep illusions that needing support is akin to weakness. As a sign that likes to feel in control, showing your vulnerable side isn't easy. However, it will bring amazing benefits.
When stressful Mars goes retrograde in Leo on December 20th, old family tensions could resurface. You may uncover buried anger toward your father or a male relative, or you may be worried about this person's well-being. Staging a confrontation won't be helpful. Keep a supportive friend on speed dial in case you need to vent any turbulent emotions.
