Horoscopes
Aries

With Mars in opposition to Uranus today, dear Aries, the more impulsive and reckless traits of your nature may be stimulated. Someone might get you irritated, particularly if you feel restricted or antagonized, and impatience doesn’t help. Your energy, though stop and go, might be harnessed to do something creative or productive, and if you manage, you could move mountains right now. However, it’s important to avoid dramatic actions until the dust settles. The Moon is Balsamic today, so that this is a day best suited to putting something to rest than for starting new projects. Later today, you’re better able to reach a centered, calm frame of mind, and this is helped by a Venus-Neptune trine which can, in fact, lead to understanding. There can be imaginative exchanges, and your intuition is heightened once you find some peace. There is a real opportunity to connect with deeper emotions in a pleasant way.
Taurus

With a Mars-Uranus opposition today, dear Taurus, you could find yourself fixated on an unresolved, frustrating matter from the past, and feeling the pressure to put it behind you. People can be a little temperamental today, and it’s probably better if you remain flexible when it comes to schedules and plans, as they may not be running smoothly. You could be tempted to take shortcuts with your work, but instead of saving time, they might cost you in the long run. Take a breath and don’t let impatience rule the day. Avoid beginning all-new endeavors today. Tomorrow, new interests, information, and direction are likely with a New Moon. For now, new endeavors should wait. Tonight, a Venus-Neptune aspect smooths over your emotions and, in fact, promotes compassionate understanding. Take the time to understand yourself.
Gemini

There is a tendency for people to be on a short fuse today, dear Gemini, particularly if they’re feeling tied down, blocked, or restricted. While you should definitely watch for impatience or impulsiveness today, you may be able to put a negative situation behind you. Keep your wits about you, and be assertive but not rebellious. Avoid short-sighted decision making. It’s important today that you focus on tying up loose ends rather than taking on new projects, as the New Moon tomorrow is likely to steer you in a new direction altogether. Tonight, ruffled feathers tend to smooth as we approach a Venus-Neptune aspect that promotes acceptance for who we are, compassion, and imagination. Occurring in practical sectors of your solar chart, this is a good time for understanding your work and goals or direction more intuitively, as well as for business-related interactions. There may be unusual circumstances that connect you with the right people or the right projects.
Cancer

There is a tendency to take quick action today, dear Cancer, but it’s important to avoid reacting from a place of rebellion. There can be conflict involving family or the work-family balance, and rebelliousness can be a gut reaction. Responsibilities are strong on you and you may be vying for more freedom. Tensions may seem to be coming from all sorts of directions in your life. It’s important to know yourself and what anger or resentment is brewing inside you, as these things can be triggered today. Good energy is with you now, however, for letting go of a matter that has been challenging. A New Moon occurs tomorrow, and new interests are likely to emerge as you turn over a new leaf. There is a stronger tendency towards peace-making and acceptance tonight as Venus and Neptune move closer and closer to a harmonious trine aspect. Sharing different viewpoints with others can be especially rewarding now, and your charm is in top form. Creatively, you are tuned in. It’s a good time for letting go of negative energy.
Leo

Frustrations and perhaps resentment can be building today, dear Leo, and triggered by something someone says. You might get all fired up over a matter, but your outlets for expressing your anger can seem limited. Differences of opinion can seem like blocks right now, but you’ll be much better off if you find ways to work through frustration before making a stand. Be cautious while driving, working machinery, and so forth. Impatience can invite troubles. With a Mars-Uranus face-off, short-sightedness can be a problem. However, it can also stimulate a strong desire to put something behind you, and this is a good time to do so with a New Moon occurring tomorrow. However, do so mindfully for best results. It will be considerably easier to center yourself tonight, when interactions tend to be more imaginative, accepting, and gently stimulating. Forgiveness and compassion are themes.
Virgo

There is some challenging, rebellious energy with us today, dear Virgo, as Mars moves into opposition with Uranus. For you, there can be conflicts revolving around matters of give and take, and you could be put into the position to defend your values or worth. If someone hasn’t been showing respect, you may want to make a stand now. A conflict over financial or ownership issues can emerge now, or you could be driven to reveal a secret and release tension that has been building. Matters may reach a head, but keep your cool now, even if provoked. Sharing ideas with others later today can be pleasing. There is a real chance of coming to an understanding tonight. The expression “tomorrow is a new day” is especially appropriate now, as tomorrow’s New Moon brings a feeling of a fresh start to your life. Concentrate on letting go of negativity today – it’s an excellent time to do so.
Libra

With Mars in your sign moving into opposition with Uranus today, dear Libra, you may be in reaction mode, especially if someone is trying to tell you what to do. However, it’s better to keep your head rather than impulsively act, or act out of anger. You’re certainly asserting your independence these days with Mars in your sign, and you may feel the need to make a stand. However, it’s always best to act from your heart rather than reacting to what seems to be offense. Others may seem unreliable today, or they could bring surprises that can feel unsettling at first. You could be quite ambitious about cutting out difficult situations from your life, and wanting to put them behind you. There is a more accepting and less volatile atmosphere as the day progresses. Imagination is stirred, and you’re appreciating the finer things in life. A New Moon occurs tomorrow, making today strong for tying up loose ends.
Scorpio

With Mars in opposition to Uranus today, dear Scorpio, something could trigger buried anger or resentment. This can very well be a change of or overloaded schedule. There can be frustration over the sheer number of things that you need to do, and a lot brewing under the surface. Tensions can be highly stimulating, in fact, leading to somewhere productive, but if you are impatient with others instead of direct, then you could quickly become stressed out. The temptation to take costly shortcuts is real. If you can manage it, try to work independently or in a setting in which you can set your own pace, as slowness of others can frustrate you now. Romance can be exciting but tumultuous as well today – a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Later tonight, moods even out and you’re in fact in excellent shape for personal appeal and charm. Aim to let go of negativity – it’s an excellent time to do so.
Sagittarius

Restlessness and discontent are real possibilities today, dear Sagittarius, with Mars opposite Uranus stirring up buried desires. However, if impatience and impulsiveness are resisted, it can be a good time for discovering, likely through relationships with others, what you can no longer tolerate and need to put behind you. Avoid taking unnecessary risks. Passions can run high, but keep in mind that sudden urges and desires may be more about inner unrest rather than inner truth. Listen to your heart rather than to others who may not be expressing themselves clearly. Tonight, a Venus-Neptune connection helps soothe and bring the light of understanding to your heart. You are set to forgive. This is very helpful at any time of year, but with a New Moon set to occur tomorrow morning in your own sign, this is an especially opportune moment to let go of negative emotions and attitudes in order to start fresh and new.
Capricorn

Try not to depend on schedules or plans going smoothly today, dear Capricorn. Crankiness tends to come from inner restlessness and a desire to break free from restrictive circumstances, so give everyone the space they need. Family or personal matters might seem to be standing in the way of your responsibilities elsewhere. Watch also for rebelling against yourself – a real possibility if part of you is not totally on board with the goals you’re currently pursuing. Frustrations today can in fact alert you to the need to understand yourself and your desires better. If you’ve been hotly pursuing something but aren’t truly sure in your heart that you want it, then you’re likely to feel a little off kilter now. Watch for impulsive or hot-headed moves and short-sighted decisions, and listen to your heart instead. Tonight, a Venus-Neptune aspect truly helps soothe you. A friend could also be integral to getting everything into perspective. Forgiveness comes more easily, just in time for a New Moon that occurs tomorrow and brings a chance to start fresh.
Aquarius

A Mars-Uranus opposition occurring today can pull up buried desires or resentments, dear Aquarius. Watch for impatience in speech and movement. You could be feeling unacknowledged and some level of inner discontent – wanting to branch out but finding it difficult to get where you want to go, possibly due to disorganization in your daily life or upset schedules. Watch for the temptation to sound off if something that’s communicated frustrates you. Employ caution with transportation, trips, and errands. Try to avoid big shortcuts that can cost you, be careful to pay attention to all the steps in your work, and aim to stay within your limits. However, if you need a push to make a change, and you’re sure it’s coming from the heart and not from a whim of the moment or pride, then this can be a time to break free. Tonight, there is good energy for letting go of stress. It’s especially appropriate to let go of tension and clear your head with a New Moon occurring tomorrow.
Pisces

As we’re approaching a New Moon, this is a time for putting something behind you, dear Pisces. With a challenging Mars-Uranus opposition today, the temptation may be to take quick action, and this can be great if you’re in touch with your heart, but may not be wise if you haven’t given something enough thought. There can be some impulsiveness today, particularly related to personal finances or an intimate relationship. If you’ve been harboring resentments towards someone who you feel has been taking advantage of your kindness, this might reach a boiling point now. There could be a scurry to get your financial affairs into order, and disorganization may be a deterrent. Listen to any buried desires that emerge now, but try not to act on sudden impulses that seem to come out of nowhere. Tonight is strong not only for entertaining wonderful ideas and expressing yourself, but for understanding and forgiveness.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 10th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
