You get to experience a lovely boost to your energy now, Aries. You can expect increased feelings of optimism as your sense of adventure is activated. For many, this can translate into physical expressions such as increased stamina, movement and creative projects. Sports and recreation are top of the list. You might also be keen to explore some interesting subjects, or do some extra reading or research. The Full Moon on December 7th may cause you to feel pulled between honouring social commitments and needing time to explore your own needs. Try to strike a balance by carving out time for yourself first. If your own cup is full, you’re more likely to share your generous spirit with others. Meanwhile, Mars continues its retrograde — and this can pose some snafus and delays in your communications with others, especially siblings, neighbours and colleagues. Be patient with others and steer clear of disagreements that aren’t worth the time to get involved in. If others come to you to solve their issues, you can offer comfort and guidance but don’t get involved. The New Moon occurring on December 23 gives you an opportunity to consciously direct your attention to your career and your life path. Consider your current set of goals and how you might expand or improve upon them. What do you want to make space for in your life?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)If possible, carve out some time for self-reflection, Taurus. You’ve been working hard on a number of fronts, and you could use a little downtime for yourself. As you reflect on the last year, consider what’s most important to you and the precious life you’re creating — especially the people you’re most intimately connected to. You’re cutting back on superfluous spending, people, and activities that are a drain to you. Good! You will be more likely to invest a great deal of time and personal resources in what you want for yourself. Important projects and plans are coming together that take time and effort. Fortunately, personal relationships are growing deeper now. This also includes the sacred relationship you have with yourself. You’re building more security in your life, and that includes your emotional well-being, too. You can expect to see things more clearly after the Full Moon on December 7th, so steady as she goes. The New Moon on December 23 activates your desire for adventure and higher learning. Give some thought to what kind of study or education interest you. Perhaps a class or a research project will be more appealing now. It’s all about opening yourself to the possibilities that are out there.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)Relationships are a key focus at this time, Gemini, romantic relations and platonic alike. (Romantic connections can experience some extra sizzle!) However, unresolved tensions that lie below the surface can have a way of emerging now, especially around the Full Moon in your sign on December 7th. That’s the only Full Moon in your sign all year, which makes it a likely time for intense situations – so tread carefully. Channel this energy into something positive, and make it a time for triumphant breakthroughs. By taking responsibility for your part in situations, you might be surprised how much smoother things run. With Mars retrograde in your sign, (until mid-January), you’ll find your energy is up and down. Listen to your body and be sure to take some time out if you need it. When your energy is up, you’re like a dog with a bone ready to throw yourself wholeheartedly into every task. When the New Moon occurs on December 23, you’re in for a treat. Close ties and connections with others will improve. Consider how you want to grow and improve the commitments in your life. You may also find your sense of worth and self-confidence increases now as well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)Solutions to issues regarding joint responsibilities and shared assets are on the horizon, Cancer. Improvements to your day-to-day workflow can also be successfully implemented now. It will be easier to plough through tasks and get the job done, no matter how big or how small! You will see better uses for your precious time and energy, yeah! You’re clearing the decks of old tasks and projects so that you can make space for new initiates. The Full Moon on December 7th activates areas related to memories, dreams and visions, which includes old visions that you experienced in the past that are still calling your name. For some, you’ll calmly conclude it isn’t the time for them to flourish. Put them to rest. While others might realize that some are still very important to you, and you needed this nudge to remind you. Make the space for those aspirations to flourish again. The New Moon on December 23 can make you feel more warm and cozy about life, not only for yourself and your personal surroundings, but also for your family and those closest to you. Key relationships can grow closer as bonds deepen now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Social excursions and exciting adventures are calling your name, Leo! It’s a wonderful time to go back to places that give you fond memories or kick-start your old hobbies and pastimes that give you a sense of pleasure and joy. Friendships and festive occasions with family can be deeply satisfying now. The Full Moon on December 7 might create tension — so tread softly with others and yourself. It’s easy to overcommit and find yourself pulled in too many directions. Be patient with yourself and be careful when doing last-minute activities or acting too hasty, as this can be an accident-prone time. So steady as she goes. Meanwhile, Mars retrograde continues to activate your visions for the future and your humanitarian nature. You might be able to envision fixes to existing problems, or effective strategies that help you and your loved ones in the long term. Avoid hasty actions, however, as new information may be revealed in the new year. It’s a good time to gather knowledge and consider your options. The New Moon on December 23 offers you an opportunity to think about your personal health and well-being, and how you might improve upon it. It’s a good time to revisit old regimes of diet, exercise and health-related efforts that work for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)The Sun, Mercury (your ruler) and Venus are pushing you to focus on improving your living space and your relationships with your closest family members, especially the people you live with. It’s a good time to get your house in order literally and metaphorically. At the Full Moon on December 7th, you might feel pulled between the demands of your job and career vs your personal life and the needs at home. Slow down and listen to your instincts now. Be careful about putting the needs of others before your own, especially if that means making decisions that will over-extend yourself into the future. While Mars continues its travels through your House of Career, you might find that tensions with higher-ups and colleagues can be a bit unnerving. You don’t have to fix everyone and everything. It’s okay to make suggestions and offer assistance (to a degree); but sometimes it’s best to stand back and let others figure things out for themselves. The New Moon on December 23 brings a great deal of warmth and comfort your way. You’re feeling more optimistic and generous of heart. Romantic opportunities are possible, and you’re eager to express how you’re really feeling about things. Give some thought as to how you might grow your talents and boost your creative abilities.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Social gatherings and connecting with friends and relatives are on the menu this month, Libra. Three planets including the Sun are activating your house of spontaneous outings, curiosity, study, teaching and learning. Listen to the pull to connect with others and share knowledge — and see where it takes you. Reconnecting with past colleagues and buddies can be especially rewarding now. Maybe it’s time to host an event or throw a party? The Full Moon on December 7th can bring to light issues with neighbours, work or academic collogues, and social connections. As someone who craves harmony in all your relations, you may have said, “Yes” too often and feel strapped for time for your own pursuits. It’s okay to politely decline the overtures that you’re not really that into so that you make time for what you really want to do.  You’ll find your way back to your equilibrium the more you trust in yourself and your decision-making abilities. You might find yourself more curious about certain subjects, or going back over old ground and rediscovering a passion for something. The New Moon on December 23 offers you an opportunity to consider your needs at home and how you might create a more comfortable situation for yourself and those you share your home with. Personal relationships can prosper under this influence. Enjoy this time!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Remember the routines and lifestyle habits that serve you best, Scorpio. You’re settling into a good groove to get you through the winter months. The Sun, Venus and Mercury are activating your House of Finances, investments and what you value. Give some careful thought to what’s important to you, and how best to look after yourself and your interests. It’s a good time to grow what’s already working. The Full Moon on Dec. 7th might cast some light on financial issues that you previously overlooked. Get in touch with your bank account and do some budget cuts and rearranging. It’s time to boost your earnings. Be sure to invest wisely. Don’t waste your time dwelling on past mistakes. Instead, take the lessons from those experiences and carry on. As you let go of the past, you’re preparing yourself for a brighter future. Trust in your ability to take good care of yourself. The New Moon that occurs on December 23 will bring feelings of warmth and connectedness, Scorpio. You might find that you’re reconnecting with relatives, friends and neighbours, and this makes you really appreciate the community around you. It’s a good time to consider ways in which you can contribute to your immediate community and make a difference. We gotta ‘give to get’ after all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Well, Happy Birthday dear, Sagittarius! It’s your time of year to shine! Enjoy the next month as the Sun moves through your sign and reboots your batteries. Friends and family are excited to come out and play, so get your dancing shoes on and start moving to the beat! Festivities, social events and excursions will keep you busy. The Full Moon on December 7th will bring some extra fireworks, because it’s the only one opposite your sign all year. This is a good time to grab the bull by the horns and take responsibility for your part in things. (If you pass the buck, it might come back to bite you.) Be careful when out in traffic driving or bike riding as this can be a more accident-prone time. Definitely slow down on adrenaline-seeking activities and keep your wits about you. Nonetheless, enjoy this time, as Venus and Mercury also move through your sign blessing your friendships and romantic connections alike. The New Moon on December 23 offers you an opportunity to think about what you really value, and how you can improve upon that. In particular, how to improve your earnings or create more financial security for yourself? You might feel compelled to save up for something important or invest your energy in a key project now.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)The Sun, Venus and Mercury are moving through your 12th House of Dreams, subconscious feelings and personal mythology, Capricorn. This is a potent time to listen to your deeper needs, and maybe do some important soul-searching and healing. You can benefit from getting time on your own to reflect on how you can honour yourself and improve your sense of well-being. Build some time into your schedule for a little self-care — you deserve it. The Full Moon on December 7^th will activate your subconscious and unresolved issues might come to light. Be gentle with yourself as you listen to what your deeper self has to say. It’s a good time for healing and letting go. You could use some downtime to replenish your soul. Don’t let social annoyances get under your skin. As one of the hardest working signs there is, you’re probably much more in control than you may realize. Go team! The New Moon on December 23 is in your sign making this your Birthday New Moon, Capricorn! This is a blessed time to think about your personal year ahead, and what you would like to accomplish in the coming year. It’s good to be a little selfish here, and consider actions or investments that will benefit your good health and your sense of pleasure in life. Personal relationships can also benefit from this influence now, as well. Share your dreams with those you love!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You’re getting some extra sizzle this next month as the Sun lights up your eleventh house (that’s the house your sign governs). This means your visionary abilities are sharp, and you can see clearly what path you want to take. It’s a good time for research and strategizing. Matters related to wealth and finance are good to consider. You have been in, and continue to be in, a window of boosting your money-making abilities. This also includes investments. No doubt you’ll be taking some actions you’ll be proud of later. The Full Moon on December 7th will bring some social issues to light. Be careful not to engage in political or religious arguments or say something you can’t take back later. (People are feeling tense.) Channel that energy into something productive, like a creative project or something you really care about. Don’t let the opinion of others throw you off your game. You’re a visionary, and it’s important to take in the big picture now. The New Moon occurring on December 23 will bring out your tender nature — so carve out some time to be with those you love. You might also want to steal some time away from others for personal reflection. It’s a good time for letting go and forgiving, be that of yourself, others and situations that can no longer be sustained. Go gently with your heart.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)The Sun makes its way through Sagittarius over the next month and this energizes your midheaven, Pisces. This means that higher-ups, authorities and the public at large are more receptive to your overtures. Not only that, you might catch the eye of some people that you want to impress! This can be connected to your career; it can also impact your personal life as well. Jupiter is also still in your sign and that brings some blessings with it as well. Enjoy interacting with friends (old and new) and sharing your dreams and wishes for the future. The Full Moon on December 7th might make you feel pulled between the demands of family and your professional career. Now is not the time for hasty decisions, so slow down and take your time. It’s a good time to tackle home improvement tasks. While it may feel overwhelming, you’ll be much happier when your house is in order, literally and metaphorically. By the New Moon on December 23, you’re feeling warm and generous with those you love. Spontaneous parties and get togethers might arise making you feel more connected with others. Your humanitarian nature might also be stronger, and you may want to give back to those around you or lend a helping hand. Give some thought to the equality of social support in your life because you might build on that. It’s good to have friends.

Much warmth and well wishes!
