Horoscopes
Aries
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Aries, until its return for a few months starting June. Recent pressures in your intimate relationships and financial life are easing. Nevertheless, you will be entering a period in which you might begin to question some of your long-held beliefs. The Moon’s presence in your solar eighth house today points to the need to dig a little more deeply. Don’t skim the surface of things right now. A little self-honesty will go a long way.
Taurus
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Taurus, until its return for a few months starting June. This week is good for bringing closure to a relationship matter. Spend time on regrets only if they are turned into a strategy for a better future. New issues you may be dealing with can center around power dynamics and finances. Adjustments to how you attempt to control yourself and your life will be necessary. Today, others’ plans and needs tend to take priority, as you find yourself in a supportive role.
Gemini
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Gemini, until its return for a few months starting next June. While work may have been burdensome recently, going forward, it’s likely to become less stressful. This week, there may be some closure involved with a health or work matter. Pay special attention to commitments made and go out of your way to honor them – you’ll feel much more comfortable with yourself if you do. Soon, you will be learning a lot about yourself and your needs from partnership. Today’s energies favor attention to details.
Cancer
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Cancer, until its return for a few months starting next June. Love relationships can have a heavy energy surrounding them, commitments could be made or broken, or closure can come to an important matter this week. Whatever the case is, there is very little mystery to these matters now. Even so, there can be a return to decisions made now next summer. You will be turning your attention to structuring your work and habits with Saturn’s move to Sagittarius. Today’s energies are good for playful, creative, and amusing activities.
Leo
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Leo, until its return for a few months starting next June. Today and tomorrow, you are emotionally tied up in the endings and general heaviness of family and home life and the weight of responsibilities surrounding them. This week, you may be putting some of this behind you. Take extra time to get your bearings and recharge emotionally. Saturn’s move to Sagittarius in less than a week puts Saturn in favorable position to your sign, and this can help bring more discipline to your life. You can also get the feeling that discipline is something you choose rather than something that’s being forced upon you.
Virgo
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Virgo, until its return for a few months starting June. Home life will be bringing some new responsibilities and can require more serious thought in the coming Saturn cycle. Today and this week, you may be closing a project or working on important edits and refinements. Even so, today you may not have the opportunity to focus on any one particular thing, but if you’re flexible, you can nevertheless get a lot done.
Libra
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Libra, until its return for a few months starting next June. This can take some of the pressure off personal finances, at least until next summer when you will be closing these matters. The upcoming Saturn cycle can stimulate more self-discipline. You’ll be learning to communicate with more authority. Today, you’re in an especially practical frame of mind. Take care of business now an aim to tie up loose ends.
Scorpio
Saturn is spending its last few days in your sign, dear Scorpio, until its return for a few months starting next June. There can be important decisions made this week. Although closure on some matters may not come until the summer of 2015, there can be a feeling that you’re headed in the right direction now – a feeling of being on track. You have been maturing in many ways in the past two years with wise and practical Saturn in your sign. Distractions can be strong early today with a Moon-Mars square, and you may be dealing with pushy or interfering people. Later is good for finding something lost or for discovering information that was previously hidden.
Sagittarius
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Sagittarius, until its return for a few months starting June. On the 23rd, Saturn will enter your sign. Spiritual regeneration and extra time to yourself will be important this week. Closing up projects or dealing with endings is appropriate now, although some things may be returned to next summer. You are tying up loose ends from the past, and today you could be withdrawn as you handle these matters. Letting go is difficult, but you know that you are clearing the path for future growth.
Capricorn
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Capricorn, until its return for a few months in the summer of 2015. You can feel some pressure to make a decision about a friendship or long-term goal today and this week. However, decisions shouldn’t be rushed. Focusing on one thing – a priority – will serve you best right now. Relationships today may be on the heavy side, but also seem to be filled with meaning today, and this can be satisfying.
Aquarius
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Aquarius, until its return for a few months starting next June. This will mark the beginning a long-term cycle that strengthens you. Your goals are metamorphosing, and your ability to handle stress improves. Today and in the next few days, you can feel some pressure to make a life-plan or career decision, but should avoid rushing things. Today is not the best time for speculation, but it’s good for serious thinking and meditation on important matters.
Pisces
Saturn is spending its last few days in the sign of Scorpio, dear Pisces, until its return for a few months next summer. The Saturn cycle ahead of you demands some serious thought about your career and life direction. You are reaching a career peak of sorts over the next couple of years. Today and this week, try not to succumb to pressure to come to a final decision, particularly on a legal or educational matter. Channel stress into something energetic and positive.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 18th:
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.
