Horoscopes
Aries
A Full Moon occurs today, dear Aries, and with any Full Moon, there can be the illumination of a matter, epiphany, or culmination. This lunation occurs in your communications and immediate environment sector, and it can stimulate quite a bit of flux and activity. There can be a lot of information to take in right now. There can be errands to run, deadlines to meet, a culmination of a project or study, or news of a travel or educational matter. With the Sun in your adventure sector in recent weeks, you’ve been chasing new experiences and knowledge, but now you may need to buckle down and get things done. Do what needs doing so that you can free yourself up for more adventurous and fulfilling activities.
Taurus
Today’s Full Moon occurs in your finance, personal resources, and values sector, dear Taurus, and this can bring an important breakthrough, new information, or the fruition of a matter surrounding business, possessions, or finances. This lunation falls along an axis that also has to do with talents and resources, as well as sexual and intimate relationships, so new feelings or discoveries may revolve around these things. A financial or ownership matter may come to light, or strong emotions about a relationship bubble up to the surface and demand your attention. There can be a settlement of money for some of you. It’s an important time of year for balancing the give and take in a relationship or the giving and receiving of pleasure. Try not to get too hyped until all the facts are in, but pay close attention to what your emotions and intuition are telling you now.
Gemini
The Full Moon today is in your sign, dear Gemini, bringing increased activity and attention your way, and sudden emotions or epiphanies to your life. An epiphany can happen now that renews your spirit and changes your focus. If you’ve been focusing a lot on others and ignoring your needs in the process, you can experience a burst of independence and self-interest now. Pay close attention to what emerges today – listen to your heart! A relationship matter might suddenly reveal itself. Emotions that surface now can point you to areas of your life that need more tender loving care. Take things in rather than acting upon emotions just yet, however.
Cancer
A Full Moon occurs in your solar twelfth house today, dear Cancer, and you’re likely to make some valuable discoveries. Your intuition has strong messages for you now. The Full Moon can also bring a secret or private matter to light, a work project to fruition, or a health issue to your attention. It’s a time for learning about some of your deeper, buried feelings, as the pipeline to them is open right now. You are reminded of the need for extra rest and attention to mental and emotional health, especially since you’ve been going hard in other areas of life. This stimulates a sudden and important desire to heal, rest, replenish, and self-nurture. It’s an excellent time to get in touch with what’s been brewing beneath the surface.
Leo
The Full Moon today favors being around people, socializing, and expressing feelings, dear Leo. This can be a time of illumination about a friendship or romantic matter, and epiphanies are entirely possible. There may be a sudden demand for your company, a romantic revelation, or an announcement can be made by a friend or lover. A pleasant feeling of being needed and needing others can be experienced now. Circumstances now remind you of the role you play in others’ lives (as a spouse, parent, friend) and how this affects your overall sense of fulfillment and happiness.
Virgo
The Moon is Full today, dear Virgo, and can bring you into the spotlight or increase your visibility as it occurs at the top of your solar chart. Paying closer attention to the rules is important now, and the Full Moon’s energies can be a reminder to manage your time and attention more effectively. This involves keeping your personal and professional or public lives separate and neither one left neglected or overdone. Something comes to light now, and it’s likely to revolve around your career, reputation, or responsibilities. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture.
Libra
With a Full Moon occurring in your solar ninth house today, dear Libra, you are reminded of your need for increased freedom, spontaneity, and fresh experiences. Some of you could be publishing or completing a major project now or in the coming week. Others may have a strong urge to take off somewhere or to depart your usual routine or way of thinking in a significant manner. This Full Moon can bring illumination to, or the culmination of, learning matters or projects. An idea that you’ve been working on might blossom now. Advertising or promotional efforts can be particularly successful.
Scorpio
A Full Moon occurs in your intimacy sector today, dear Scorpio, and tends to bring matters to fruition or illuminate issues, likely related to finances, shared resources, and personal power. While there could be some drama with regards to money, it might be a time for settling debts or collecting money owed. There can be new insight into a relationship or a personal matter. You might experience a moment of truth that motivates you to kick a bad habit and live a freer, more joyful life as a result. Emotions are the star of the day and important now but can cloud over logic, so feel and honor them but take your time before making significant decisions.
Sagittarius
A Full Moon today occurs in your opposite sign and partnership sector, dear Sagittarius. This can bring relationship matters to light, or it might point to an important epiphany or turning point. Full Moons can bring sudden awareness of a pre-existing situation that you’ve overlooked or left unacknowledged, but they sometimes lead to new information coming in that’s a game changer. With the Sun in your sign, personal interests are in focus, and this is helpful and necessary. However, if you’ve neglected relationship needs, then you’re likely to recognize them now. There can be a test of a partnership but also an opportunity to connect more fully to your feelings and/or a special someone.
Capricorn
Emotions get top billing with a Full Moon occurring today, dear Capricorn. For you, this can bring a service-related, work, health, or private matter to light. This might point to a reveal of problems or flaws in a project, but for most, it means there’s a new development, fruition of a project, or turning point that stirs up activity. It’s a wake-up call, of sorts. Events might occur that push or prod you to make a lifestyle change. You’ve been spending more time than usual on taking care of your mental and emotional health that you may have let some of your daily affairs and routines slide, and this is a time for recognizing the imbalance and then doing something about it.
Aquarius
The Full Moon occurring today can bring color and perhaps some drama to the day, dear Aquarius. It occurs in your entertainment sector and brings emotions to the surface. It can also serve to illuminate and clarify a social or romantic matter for you. This can be a time of epiphanies, breakthroughs, turning points, and sudden awareness of feelings that have been present and building, but left unrecognized or unexpressed. You might become artistically inspired by something that happens now, or there could be romantic feelings that come on suddenly. This is a time for listening to your heart, definitely, but it’s also important to take things in before making critical decisions. Your need for special attention, feedback, and entertainment is strong now.
Pisces
The Full Moon occurring today forms a challenging square to your sign, dear Pisces, and serves to remind you of imbalances in your life as it stands at the moment. It may very well prompt you to pay better attention to your priorities or to move them around. This is especially the case if the Sun at the top of your solar chart in recent weeks has led to a heavy focus on work and outside responsibilities. Home, family, or a personal matter can grab your attention now. Give special attention not only to your home and family but also to your personal needs and “inner child.” Avoid the traps of overextending yourself and ignoring your personal needs. This Full Moon can serve as a reminder to pay more attention to the emotional, supportive elements of your life.

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

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 13th:
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 lifetime).
