Horoscopes
Aries
This is a time when you notice all of the little things that are not working up to par, dear Aries, with the Moon moving into your solar sixth house this morning. You are suddenly more aware of the flaws and inconsistencies in your daily life. While this can lead to unnecessary worry or frustration, you can take advantage of this state of mind by actively working on fixing problems. Take the time to reorganize, tidy, and handle nagging problems that will help to free your mind for more interesting experiences. However, later today it can be a little difficult keeping centered. You can’t seem to escape the fact that life goes on no matter where your head is, and little tasks that you’ve neglected still need doing. A slight emotional low can make everyday tasks more difficult to perform. Do what you can to fix the root of productivity problems now by getting yourself into the spirit of things. Partnering up may be helpful now.
Taurus
While there can be some excellent energy for smoothing over relations with a co-worker or someone in your daily life today, dear Taurus, energy is a little tense now. You are desiring a little positive feedback, validation, or admiration from the people around you, but they could be too self-absorbed or busy dealing with other issues to take that time. Avoid emotional displays and try to rise above it by not taking things too personally. Work on things that make you happy or get the less satisfying work you need to do out of the way so that you can make room for personal enjoyment. Keep in mind that your perceptions of others are a little fuzzy so that you don’t get in line for a disappointment. Seeing what you wish to see in a friend or lover can feel like a temporary fix to your mood, but the reality of the situation is likely to present itself in time. Aim to increase your powers of empathy and compassion in place of over-idealizing someone.
Gemini
You may not be seeing a professional or reputation matter clearly today, dear Gemini, possibly because you are fantasizing about what you wish to happen and not paying attention to the reality of the matter. Watch for a solitary, moody, and self-protective attitude with others that effectively pushes them away. A conflict is possible revolving around partnerships and previously made agreements, and it can be difficult to find a compromise, or to see things clearly enough to reach a satisfying one if an agreement is arrived at. However, you have a true advantage, as you can easily dig deeper to the heart of a matter. You are not interested in quick fixes to problems, and your willingness and courage to start from the root and work your way up helps you to truly resolve a long-standing problem. Creative power is in fact very strong today.
Cancer
Your ability to empathize is very much a gift, dear Cancer, and today, using that gift wisely will help you to overcome some of the tensions around you. You could have a strong sense that someone is trying to force their opinions or ideas on you, and this doesn’t sit well. Show your understanding, but don’t let others think you’re their doormat. Life seems to demand you turn your attention to many different matters today, and you can easily find that you’re distracted. Day-dreaming is one tendency that keeps you from your best performance, and worry about not doing your best is another. Restlessness can be the result, so it may be wise to shuffle your tasks so that you don’t feel stifled, or settle on something that’s a priority and put yourself in an environment that encourages focus and concentration.
Leo
The Moon leaves your sign this morning, dear Leo, and while this generally has the effect of steadying your emotions, today there can be some tension. A question of whether you have the extra funds for something could arise, or a difference in values with a love interest can crop up now. Regarding money matters, you may have some disappointments or worries as dependencies on others make you feel a little insecure, and there’s pressure to push forward a creative project or even a relationship. Previously trustworthy sources of support may let you down, and this requires you to take charge of the more stable sources of money in your life. Worries are fine up until the point that they motivate you to make important changes. Beyond that, they only serve to burden you and interfere with productivity and practicality. Take steps, even small ones, to get more control over your finances. Look for opportunities to collaborate with someone or to partner up on a communications project.
Virgo
The focus now is on you – your needs, your personal projects, and the things that boost your spirits, dear Virgo. The desire for action is strong today. Conflicts with others or kinks in your plans can certainly occur now, but you can effectively extract from them just the right motivation to set things right. If you find that you are attracting confusing situations into your life, consider whether you have an unfulfilled need that craves something more than the mundane from your relationships with others and that draws you to people who seem to need help or who are not very consistent. Sometimes we want something so much that we think we see it in people, and our discriminating skills take a bit of a hit due to wishful thinking. Tend to matters on the home front that seem to need attention before they become bigger problems. This is a good day for motivation to sort out money matters or valuables.
Libra
It’s time to take a breather, in whatever way you can and that relaxes you the most, dear Libra. Avoiding situations that are highly competitive or stressful today is simply strategic and possibly necessary, not escapism. You need some time to regroup and recharge your emotional batteries. It can be difficult to avoid tension with the Moon in stressful aspect and approaching its Last Quarter that has everyone feeling a little edgy. However, it’s a good time to tie up loose ends. Try to clear up a few things in your environment that tend to distract you. Sorting out things in your physical environment can help clear your mind, and you definitely need the clarity. Venus and Juno are reaching an alignment in your sign, and this can turn your attention to equality and harmony in close relationships. Your personal appeal is boosted.
Scorpio
While there can be some tension today, dear Scorpio, you’re feeling less pressured by responsibilities. You can also discover something fascinating or new information on a situation that offers you more personal power and a sense of accomplishment. Even so, socially there can be some ups and downs. There may be deceptions or misunderstandings, and this can stem from a deeper yearning for a beautiful, wonderful connection to a friend or lover. The yearning itself is not negative. However, you might find that you sometimes project these desires onto friends, hoping to see something that you want to see, but that is not necessarily there. A friend can also be susceptible to the same type of thing – projecting their desires onto you. It can be an uncomfortable position for you, as you don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, but you don’t want to pretend you’re something you’re not either.
Sagittarius
Your career goals and life direction are coming into larger focus today, dear Sagittarius. A new attitude towards your career inspires you to make some changes. However, public and personal lives are both vying for your attention now, and you are required to do a balancing act. You’ll find that confusions surrounding your living conditions or family can spill out into other areas of life, including your personal plans. Building a solid foundation attacks problems from the root up. Avoid, if you can, situations that you know are frustrating, as your patience may be thin later today. It’s probably best to take the path of least resistance, or you could be prone to stress or even some minor mishaps. You might feel that others are unfairly criticizing you or examining what you have or haven’t done. However, friendships can bring in support and enjoyment. You are in a conciliatory mood with someone who’s proven themselves to you in the past.
Capricorn
You can be in the mood for something non-routine or a little adventurous today, dear Capricorn, although it can be a little difficult to find ways to satisfy your wanderlust just for now. Scheduling anything can feel restrictive to you right now, as today you thrive more in a state of freeform. As well, it might seem that when you do decide on what and when to do something, you discover you can’t. Crossed wires can cause some minor problems today, whether it’s about missing an appointment, forgetting a plan with a friend, or simple misunderstandings due to poor communication. It can be especially difficult concentrating on mundane tasks today, as your mind tends to drift, and your heart is somewhere else altogether! Even so, there can be some progress with a matter related to career, a boss, or manager. Some deeper insights into a partnership can also emerge today if you tune in.
Aquarius
There can be some concerns about how committed a friend or partner is today, dear Aquarius, and you may be questioning motivations. However, from this minor conflict comes more insight into an important matter. Love matters can be intense but revealing now. This can also be a tricky day when things may not be as they appear. Worries about money or support can trouble you if you let your imagination rule the day, but you’re inclined to be seeing things either too negatively or too positively, and perhaps both extremes at different times today, but rarely as they truly are, so wait out important decision making. You can have some difficulty getting motivated to work independently or to do things for yourself. However, you can use this energy to help out others. Dreams can be rich and revealing. Sharing opinions and long-term goals with someone can be strengthening. Finding mutual interests may be an excellent way to smooth relationships over.
Pisces
With the Moon moving your work sector and entering your partnership zone this morning, dear Pisces, your personal agenda can move to the back burner just for the time being as you focus on compromising and allowing others to shine. Helping out a partner, or simply listening more intently to their wishes and needs, is one key to success and fulfillment today. Your focus has been on outer success in recent weeks, and now is the time to give due attention to those who support you and who are dear to your heart. Even so, there can be some feelings of being pushed to the side. Recognize that you’re especially sensitive to the moods of people and the atmosphere around you, but consider that your understanding of these things may be quite off! In other words, you might be imagining that a partner or friend is feeling off-center when it’s actually you who is insecure right now. While there is definitely some hypersensitivity now, you also stand to learn a lot and bond closer to someone on an intimate level.

Date & Time: 2 Dec 2015 3:58 am
Event: Tr-Tr Ven Pll Ves
Description: Transiting Venus Parallel Transiting Vesta
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
LIBRA STRONG
Even-handed, harmonious, artistic, diplomatic, balancing, strong sense of fairness. Can be over- compromising, appeasing, judgmental.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 2nd:
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).
