Horoscopes
Aries
You can be feeling some pressure in the first half of the day, dear Aries, and a sense that you don’t have the time or energy to accomplish your larger goals. Avoid skipping important steps in order to reach an ambition, and consider pacing yourself instead. Becoming overwhelmed by things to do will not help you to achieve more, and right now, the desire for some freedom from restrictions and routines is strong. Avoid taking on more tasks as they will only add to your pile of worries. The day progresses in a far smoother fashion, and while it continues to stimulate your imagination, it does so in a less pressured way. You can gain nice insight into professional or life path goals and projects by letting your mind wander and your imagination free.
Taurus
With Jupiter encouraging you to take a risk socially or with your heart, dear Taurus, you’re certainly finding ways to express your playfulness these days. However, at the moment the Sun is stimulating a desire for deeper bonds and connections, and this mini struggle can come to a head now. People in your life may be feeling left out or confused about your attitude, perhaps desiring a show of seriousness to balance things out. Uncertainty about how to proceed in a relationship or about someone’s feelings for you can be an issue for some of you. Watch that you don’t take over the top risks today, particularly with money. The energies of the second half of the day tend to smooth over the rough edges, and a soothing or inspiring conversation may be part of this. This is a good time for dreaming up plans and ideas.
Gemini
Any discontent with things as they are can be stirred this morning, dear Gemini, with a Sun-Jupiter square that energizes your sectors of home, family, and partnerships. Restlessness is a possibility if you feel overwhelmed with things you want to do or if you are caught up in a dilemma that leaves you wondering what your next step should be. You have a stronger need for security and a sense of belongingness now, but it’s important to take independent steps to achieve these rather than wait for others to fill these needs. As the day progresses, you are likely to feel especially comfortable in your own skin, and this encourages your imagination. Patience is the key now. There may be an absorbing mystery to solve or a revealing conversation to enjoy.
Cancer
With a Sun-Jupiter square this morning, dear Cancer, you may be reassessing some of your plans and questioning just how happy you are with your life as it’s progressing. This can of course stir up some restlessness or discontent, but it’s important to avoid adding more to your plate. Aim to do some trimming rather than adding if you’ve been overextending yourself. This is especially true for your daily affairs, communications, studies, and other forms of busy work. If you’ve been putting too much pressure on yourself to do it all, it’s time to focus more on priorities. It can be very challenging to concentrate on any one particular task, especially one requiring attention to detail. The tendency to move forward on an idea while neglecting important details runs high today. It’s better to be safe than sorry today and save important decision making for a more auspicious time. As the day advances, there is good energy for gaining perspective. It’s an interesting time for day for making connections and imaginative conversations.
Leo
You can be feeling especially optimistic today, dear Leo, but if you’re investing yourself into the wrong things, moodiness can ensue. The desire to impress can be strong, but could also lead to misfires in the areas of finances, romance, or creative pursuits. Risks and gambles can seem attractive, but may not be wise at the moment. Unrest can spur you to do something different or exciting. A situation with a friend or lover likely has a lot more to it than meets the eye. With a Sun-Jupiter square this morning, you could be seeing plans that are not making the grade in your personal report card. Instead of taking on more or pushing yourself too hard, consider ways to simplify. The day advances with good energy for relaxing the mind. This may involve keeping yourself busy but doing something soothing that you truly enjoy.
Virgo
You can experience a conflict between nurturing your strong need for security and safety and your similarly big desire for personal experiences and expansion or freedom today, dear Virgo. The Sun in your sector of home and family is in challenging aspect to Jupiter in your sign, and while you can imagine all sorts of things you’d like to accomplish, part of you is holding back, or for some of you, the demands of home and family are keeping you from enjoying a new challenge. Avoid exaggeration or dramatic displays of independence and instead consider ways to manage your expectations and find a better balance. This theme will recur in the coming months in different ways, so you’ll have some time to work through this conflict. The second half of the day promises more ease and acceptance of your current circumstances. You might have a mind-opening experience now as you are exposed to unusual and different perspectives.
Libra
While the energy of a Sun-Jupiter square this morning can stir up restlessness and perhaps a desire to do or take on more, dear Libra, it’s a better time to take a breath and open your eyes to flaws in your plans that need some polishing. Aim to look at the big picture and consider whether you’re headed in the right direction. Get all the facts before you jump into something, and before you jump to conclusions, as not all is as it appears. What seems to be optimism may actually be overshooting or wishful thinking. Exuberance felt now may lead you to overlook important details. Be careful not to take on more, especially when it comes to making sacrifices of your own personal care so that you can take care of others, which is a strong, good-hearted tendency of yours lately, but you could be overdoing it. Consider your own needs as well and balance things out as much as possible. The day advances with good energy for wrapping your mind around a mystery or other mental activity that is both enjoyable and absorbing.
Scorpio
You may be discovering some flaws in a plan, project, or dream now, dear Scorpio, and areas where you may have been overshooting or overdoing. Find ways to pare down a little in order to keep things real, but also to stay positive and open to possibilities. The desire to expand on projects, to socialize, and to make connections is strong these days, but today, you could be feeling overwhelmed as you also are looking for security and comfort. There is a general feeling that we can do more than we actually can, and while there are generally good intentions involved, it’s better not to bank on promises made now. Wait for a day when you’re seeing things more clearly to make a big purchase. As the day progresses, there is strongly creative – and patient – energy that can help you to unwind and enjoy yourself. It’s also powerful for imagination and conversations that inspire.
Sagittarius
You can be feeling especially enthusiastic this morning, dear Sagittarius, as the Sun in your sign magnifies your ambitions through a square aspect to Jupiter at the top of your chart. Even so, this is not the most stable energy, as you can invest perhaps too much of yourself or your hopes into ideas and feelings that may not be realistic. It’s wonderful to dream and to aspire, but if you overdo things now, you’ll exhaust yourself for better times to move forward, when true opportunities present themselves. Be especially conscious of being fair and using common sense today. Enjoy yourself and celebrate, but keep things real and avoid going over the top. As the day advances, you’re more inclined to enjoy your imagination. Pleasing conversations can be part of the day, particularly with or about family. Money-making ideas can be golden now.
Capricorn
Be especially sensitive about others’ opinions and beliefs today, dear Capricorn, and avoid investing too much into your own ideas for best results today. Plans for the future are strong in your mind, but part of you may be clinging to the past or finding excuses to not go after what you want. For some, responsibilities are getting in the way of your plans to venture out and experience more from your life. It can be difficult to intuit your next step now, and you could be feeling quite distracted or uncertain about what you can realistically accomplish. You’ll in fact figure out exactly where you’re headed, but don’t push this realization – it will become clear in the coming days and weeks. Decisions should not be rushed now. As the day progresses, imagination continues to be in strong focus, but you tend to feel more content. Conversations can be inspiring and ideas should be noted.
Aquarius
There can be difficulties balancing your intimate life and your social life coming to a head now, dear Aquarius. There may be ego clashes with a partner or a sense that someone is going over the top, or exaggerating, and it can be difficult to center yourself. In the first half of the day, avoid overdoing or overcommitting as a quick fix to a problem. Consider ways to divide your attention in a more balanced way. As the day progresses, you’re more inclined to let go of tension, and conversations can help to inspire you and stimulate your objectivity. This is certainly not the best day for making solid commitments or for work and tasks that require concentrated focus, but it’s good for examining dreams and ideas. The trick is to avoid investing too much into these things so that you can truly enjoy yourself. The Moon moves into your sign this morning, and this brings you out of your shell and more in tune with your feelings.
Pisces
The energies of the first half of the day can stir up restlessness, dear Pisces, as you can feel that you want to do more than is possible, and you’re getting conflicting messages from your own ambitions and from what others seem to want you to do. Try not to be swayed by promises made now, as they may be hard to keep, and avoid skipping steps or important details in your haste to accomplish something. Recognize that pushing too hard towards a goal can wear you down or overwhelm you, so aim to pace yourself, but do keep your mind open to new ideas and possibilities. As the day progresses, you have easy energy with you for communicating and interacting. Your own words can inspire, and you can find inspiration in what others are saying as well. The calm and gentle theme is right up your alley, and you can find yourself generally on the same page with a significant other.

LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 14th:
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).
