Horoscopes
Aries
Uranus in your sign is about to turn direct, dear Aries, and this week you can feel more in charge of making positive changes in your approach to life. For some of you, making friends or renewing existing friendships can be in focus now. Coming days are likely to be busy, but to avoid allowing your life to become scattered, focus on centering yourself today and tomorrow. Remind yourself of your priorities. Later today, you could enjoy helpful conversations and stronger intuition about business or life-path moves. Reflect and consider resolutions you want to make for the new beginnings to come, particularly along career lines.
Taurus
Uranus is about to turn direct in your privacy and soul sector, dear Taurus, awakening undiscovered feelings and urges. This week and in coming weeks, you’ll be increasingly confident about making changes, letting go of restrictive or negative attitudes and situations, and trusting in your own intuition. Patterns of behavior that are ineffective, limiting, or stale can be shed more easily now. Even if a feeling that your reputation is on somewhat shaky ground, you’re more confident that you can deal with it. Rest and reflection are more appropriate than innovation and enterprise right now.
Gemini
With Uranus turning direct this week, dear Gemini, your spirit for making friends and developing friendship is renewed, although the next few days can bring unusual revelations in your social circle. Travel or education plans might begin to move forward. The Moon is in its Balsamic phase, and this is a natural time for closing projects and for reflection rather than action on new endeavors. Reflect, rest, and revise. New beginnings should be saved for later – after the New Moon that occurs on Sunday night. Self-expression tonight and early tomorrow is easy, open, and imaginative.
Cancer
With Uranus about to move forward, dear Cancer, the next few days can bring some surprising revelations about your career, life path, or reputation. The search for your own unique path is renewed – you’re looking to express your talents and individuality in the work that you do. Your ability to take personal and professional risks increases. Uranus direct in your career zone empowers you with a stronger sense that you’re in charge of making changes, rather than a feeling that changes are being forced upon you. Tonight is good for sensitive, healing conversations. If you need to end a significant project (or even attitude), it’s a good time to do that. However, all-new projects or resolutions are best saved for later.
Leo
Today and in the coming weeks, you are likely to feel more inspired to practice your spiritual beliefs and to seek out new knowledge, meaning, and truth, dear Leo. Close partnerships might also show signs of moving forward after a possibly stagnant time. There can be more clarity to your relationships and plans, even if there are unstable qualities to these. With the Moon Balsamic today and tomorrow, rest, relax, and reflect as much as possible. Regain your center – something that is likely to come more easily tonight.
Virgo
You are likely to learn something important about the past or revolving around information that was hidden, buried, or lost in the shuffle, dear Virgo, with Uranus reaching its yearly direct station. You might open your eyes to something very important today, particularly about a love relationship. While in recent months you may not have felt you had the necessary tools to deal with changeability and unreliability with finances or your intimate life, you’ll now feel more in charge, courageous, and ready to make changes, rather than feeling at the mercy of outside forces. Tonight, you’re more inclined to enjoy talking about personal plans, even if you are not very clear on details.
Libra
With Uranus set to turn direct, you could learn surprising new things, or have a revelation, about close relationships, especially love and partnership connections, dear Libra. In the coming weeks, you can feel that a relationship or your attitude towards partnership begins to move forward. You’re also feeling more in charge of your life rather than at the mercy of changes others are making. A New Moon will occur on Sunday night, bringing fresh energy and new interests/directions in your life. For now, work on letting go, learning your heart, and reflecting upon recent events.
Scorpio
There could be changes or revelations about work or health matters today and this week, dear Scorpio. In the coming weeks, you’re more inclined to feel strong or courageous about making changes that pave the way to progress and improvement, rather than feeling overwhelmed or at the mercy of outside forces. Tonight and early tomorrow, you can be feeling quite relaxed and easygoing, and you’re received well. The Moon is Balsamic today and tomorrow, so that relaxing and drawing upon your intuition are favored rather than new beginnings. A busy few weeks are ahead.
Sagittarius
Uranus is set to turn direct after many months of retrograde or apparent backward motion, and this yearly change of direction stimulates changes in romantic and creative pursuits. More importantly, it empowers you with the feeling that you are in charge of changes, rather than at the mercy of them. You are feeling freer to express yourself with spirit. Unpredictability in your romantic life is certainly a theme now, and it’s not likely to go away anytime soon, but you are more willing to take action when it comes to freeing yourself from stale patterns of relating. Creative and learning pursuits, as well as personal interests and projects, begin to move forward. With a Balsamic Moon today and tomorrow, reflect on the things you might want to change in order to make full use of an upcoming cycle.
Capricorn
Uranus, the awakener, turning direct in your family sector this week can bring revelations and surprises to your home and family life, dear Capricorn. Increasingly, you’ll be feeling more in charge or confident that you’re making important progress and changes that free you from negative or limiting situations or patterns of relating. Courage is building after a period of some self-doubt. Financial affairs could also move forward – a business deal or idea might be renewed. Tonight, there is wisdom in your words, and smoothing over differences comes naturally. A New Moon will energize your sign on Sunday night, bringing a new beginning. For now, consider resolutions you might want to make.
Aquarius
For some time, you’ve been learning to express yourself and your ideas more spontaneously and openly, dear Aquarius, and you might often experiment with new ways of thinking, learning, and communicating. This process serves to open up new worlds to you – and possibly new opportunities – as Uranus spends time (years) in your communications sector. Uranus is set to turn direct, and this move can increase your confidence. There is more clarity in your life, direction, studies, and communications. There can be renewed interest in projects and some of you could be reconnecting with friends this week.
Pisces
Now and in coming weeks, your spirit for making changes in your approach to business or making money is renewed. You’re also more courageous when it comes to defending yourself and what you believe you’re worth. With a waning Moon, today and the next few are best for letting things go. Pressure can build this afternoon, especially if you feel a decision needs to be made, but then releases a little this evening when you can feel above petty concerns. Avoid beginning an entirely new project today – wait until after the New Moon Sunday night, when new information and interests come to light.

We might feel destiny plays a large part in our lives, and may have some gifts in prophecy and leadership.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 19th:
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.
