Horoscopes
Aries
While this is not a good day for staying within a budget or for work productivity, dear Aries, if your load is light, it can certainly be a pleasant, if lazy, time. A tendency to slack on the job may have consequences, however. Other forms of indulgences might also get people’s attention. More than usual, you need and seek out happy company, and you can be very generous, but not especially practical.
Taurus
This is not the best time for productivity, yet you may be called to do more work than usual. Indulgence tends to have its price right now. However, do what you can, and avoid getting too wound up if you don’t quite reach the mark today. Focus on reducing stress and improving your life with healthier routines. Another way to keep tension minimal is to avoid making big promises on optimistic-feeling days, mainly because they can lead to a feeling that you’ve disappointed people on a later date.
Gemini
You can be a little too susceptible to distractions today, dear Gemini, and productivity can suffer as a result. However, your mood is generally quite positive, and creative or recreational pursuits may fare well. Do watch for pleasing and appeasing. While this is just fine in moderation, it can lead to frustrating situations later on. The main problem with today is that we can be tempted to employ bandaid fixes to problem areas, but of course this leads to future pressure. Essentially, it’s borrowing from the future. As tempting as it may be, try not to gloss over difficulties today.
Cancer
Watch for a tendency today to focus on everything but the most important thing on your agenda. It can be difficult knowing where to start if you feel overwhelmed, so you might consider tackling the most daunting task or obligation first. Procrastination simply increases stress levels, now and in the future. You can be indulgent with a partner or significant other, but others can be hard to please, and perhaps not as grateful as you’d like. Resolve to do only what you truly want to do, and stop there.
Leo
This is not a strong day for productivity, dear Leo, and you may in fact feel tired, worn out, or simply lazy if you think about all that you want to accomplish. It’s better to approach things one step at a time, because feeling overwhelmed is quite possible now, and can lead to either stretching yourself too thin, or avoidance and procrastination. Either way, you won’t feel especially better off by the end of the day. Mercury entering your work and health zone tonight can help get you back on track.
Virgo
Promises made today can be hard to keep later, as people in general are not seeing their capabilities clearly, dear Virgo. Others may be stepping over boundaries today. You could be receiving mixed messages, and your social life may be more distracting than it is supportive. If you need to get important things done, try to tune out as much of it as you can. Mercury’s move to a fellow Earth sign tonight is a friendly one – you’ll have an easier time expressing yourself and getting your ideas across.
Libra
The Moon is in your sign all day, and your emotions tend to have the upper hand. You are also more noticeable. You can feel energized and motivated to chase your desires, but there can be a tendency to indulge or even enable others. This can be an effort to smooth over problems or simply to give yourself a break. If you really feel that you’re not equipped right now to deal with problems, resolve to come back to them on a less emotional and more logical day.
Scorpio
News you hear today can be exaggerated or misleading, dear Scorpio, and even your own perceptions can lead you astray. You may be seeing more than what actually is, whether it’s a positive or negative perception. Avoid putting too much into what is promised or appears to be promised. It’s unlikely that people are intentionally trying to mislead, but our judgment can be askew right now. As well, your own offhand remarks may be misinterpreted. Grab any chance for extra rest.
Sagittarius
You could have many different ideas in play right now, but with a challenging aspect between Venus and Jupiter, you may not be in any mood to focus. With Venus in your second house of values, money, and possessions, Jupiter’s influence can exaggerate your desires for things that might not have true value in the long term. Try to treat these as whims and fancies of the moment. There might also be a conflict of values that gets under your skin – other people’s beliefs or ideas could get you quite riled up. Try to unwind and avoid holding on to expectations.
Capricorn
This is not the ideal time for tasks that require strong focus and concentration or acute perceptions. There may be poorly researched advice received, or false leads, although good intentions behind these are more likely than not. Use your common sense, of which you have plenty, and allow yourself to loosen up and relax. This way, you can enjoy the connections you make and attention you’re receiving. Your appetite for pleasure is generally bigger these days with Venus in your sign, and with Jupiter exaggerating things, perhaps even more so today.
Aquarius
There may be times today when you’re focusing more on the big picture than the details at hand, dear Aquarius, and missing important things in the process. Part of you doesn’t feel up to dealing with anything difficult or tricky right now – it’s a day when we are looking for the easy way out, and you may be in a self-indulgent mood. You are softer and perhaps lazier now, and especially lenient with others. For the most part, this shouldn’t cause serious problems, but do watch for making promises that you’ll regret later on.
Pisces
Today, small issues can assume bigger proportions in your mind, dear Pisces. However, there is also an escapist or avoidant tendency with you now, as you are unlikely to be in any mood to focus on the more difficult, demanding, or factual elements of your daily existence! Restlessness with anything routine or dull is likely. Even so, you may not be up for drama or demanding situations, either. Do what you can to lighten your load just for now. It’s a better alternative to making promises that you won’t want to keep later.

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.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
Scores: Fire 7; Earth 3; Air 5; Water 2
FIRE STRONG
You are a highly-motivated person with many goals and aspirations for the future. You are vital and spontaneous, often enjoying the challenge of travelling down new and adventurous roads in your life. Your enthusiasm is irrepressible. Your weakness lies in your tendency to exaggerate and your inability to cope with the more mundane activities in life.
WATER WEAK
You are out of kilter with your emotions. Crying or losing your cool in front of other people would be a horrifying thought, let alone action, for you. You often lack compassion for others in your human relationships, and need to learn to honor both your own and other people’s feelings.
BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 7; Fixed 4; Mutable 6
The modes are balanced in this chart.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 16th:
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 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.
