- The Moon is in its Balsamic phase, and is waning.
- Uranus is moving to a station direct.
Horoscopes
Aries
Your desire for a change of pace is strong today, dear Aries, but you may not be in touch with what it is you truly want so that impulsive desires can lead you astray. For some, a career or reputation development might disrupt plans, and you could find that you’re fixated on something negative. You may need to face some truths that stimulate your fears, whether about finances or relationships. Listen to your own need for change, but avoid jumping into something that you’re not quite ready or prepared for. If you can avoid obsessive thinking, you might take advantage of positive energy available for networking, working with a team, and connecting with friends. Your progressive, tolerant, forward-looking spirit will help you to achieve your goals. Think about where you’d like to go/be, but avoid entirely new initiatives until after the New Moon.
Taurus
You may not know exactly what you want today, particularly in relationships, and could be giving off mixed signals as a result, dear Taurus. If you do know what you want, once you get it, you may feel a little trapped. There could be some restlessness. Connections can be exciting and intense, but also difficult to understand. Sharing a personal belief or opinion can help cement a bond, but if you become obsessed with an idea and try to force feed it in any way, this can invite friction. Do your best to avoid power games. Later today, you can be in happy spirits, and possibly quite satisfied with the idea that issues from the past seem to be settling. This is a time for letting go.
Gemini
There can be a strong desire to bond and share, or to reach a deeper level with someone, dear Gemini, but there can be a simultaneous fear of the same thing, and resulting hesitation. Disruptions regarding a friendship or confusion about boundaries can occur now. Affections towards you can be intense one minute and then they cool down the next. The drama of intimacy attracts you, and you may very well get it. However, if you don’t, try not to create it unless it’s a productive, positive thing. It’s a day for digging for truths, but if you dig too far, you’ll end up in a negative state of mind. Tonight is good for any kind of team or group work. Non-traditional methods and attitudes work best for you now. Share knowledge or simply your time with others.
Cancer
Relationships can be confusing right now, dear Cancer, and you might be taken aback by the power of emotions that others are stimulating in you. There can be hot and cold energy experienced today, with someone totally on one moment and disinterested the next. Try not to play into this energy, keeping in mind that we are not necessarily self-aware when it comes to our feelings at this time. It would be wise not to mix business with pleasure/love today. Later today, you can be in a progressive frame of mind. Others might seek you out for your opinions. Even so, this is a day for letting go rather than beginning anew. Tomorrow evening’s New Moon can bring new energy to close relationships.
Leo
Interactions can be on the intense side today, dear Leo. You may be able to gain a better understanding of people you work or spend time with, in terms of agendas and desires. There can be some obsessing over your duties and responsibilities, but if you feel that you have to manipulate or push in order to get the desired response from others, try to get out of that mindset – even if it “works”, it won’t satisfy in the long term. Tensions can arise from deep within, and if you don’t recognize they come from unresolved resentments or frustrations, then you might find yourself acting in ways that don’t make you entirely proud! Instead, try to learn and then work on the source of your discomfort. Later today, strong energy is with you for enhancing a partnership, particularly with your sense of adventure and moving forward. This is a theme that will stay with you on some level until mid-January.
Virgo
You may be drawing upon deep emotions today, and if applied to something creative, or inner “work”, this can be a day of important revelations. There may be an uncomfortable truth that emerges, particularly if you press for it, but you may want to avoid pushing too hard. You like to understand things and people in a logical manner, but today, it there can be very little that is rational about the feelings that emerge. Face things, feel them, and move forward. Relationship moves right now can be sudden and disruptive, so it may be better to hold off on important decisions. Later today is good for coming up with truly ingenious ideas – even breakthroughs.
Libra
Revealing interactions with family members or those very close to you can occur today, dear Libra, and while there is a possibility of power plays involved, if you can sidestep them you can learn a lot about yourself and the people closest to you. However, keep in mind that you may be pushing to get close to someone, but when you do, it can stir up feelings of restlessness. Try not to give off mixed signals. Later today, you’re likely to feel considerably freer and more sociable, particularly if you make a conscious effort to let go of a tendency to obsess. With a New Moon occurring tomorrow, set to bring new energy to your domestic life, it’s appropriate to let go of excess baggage today.
Scorpio
There is a tendency today to harp on a particular idea or train of thought in such a way that it brings you down rather than builds you up, dear Scorpio. Your own inner restlessness might tempt you to look for greener pastures, but this is unlikely to last very long. Physically, there can be some vague complaints, but these are likely to come from stress. Others can try your patience, as they can be hot one minute, and noncommittal the next. Later today, and especially after letting go of spiralling thoughts, you can be feeling quite positive and hopeful. You’re more interested in progress than pushing an idea. Go into tomorrow’s New Moon stronger and empowered, free of willfulness.
Sagittarius
You can be very zealous about an idea or cause now, dear Sagittarius, and you can go to great lengths to defend yourself or someone you love. Keep in mind that you could be pushing too hard, and at your own expense as well. Obsessive behavior is too easy to adopt right now, and can lead to frustration, stress, and discomfort. Whims can take hold today, but you may be better off not following them. It’s better to try to get to the reason underlying your restlessness and tension. Later today, conversations can be stimulating, creative, and flirtatious. Share your thoughts and listen generously. Tomorrow’s New Moon is likely to redirect your thoughts and goals.
Capricorn
Venus is in your sign, Capricorn, and this can be a blessing. However, its alignment with Pluto and clash with Uranus today can stimulate some form of conflict. You may be overreaching or acting on a whim that later has you questioning why. While your desires come on strongly, they may not be an accurate reflection of what’s in your heart. In fact, on some level, your desires may be leading you in an opposite path as a form of rebellion or avoidance of what really matters to you. Do something different or shake up the routine a little, but leave the very important decision making for later. Avoid trying to maneuver situations to work in a particular way, and try to be more flexible. This comes more easily later today, when you see the value of thinking ahead and letting go of the negative. Tomorrow’s New Moon is in your sign, and it’s best to go into this new cycle with a clean (or cleaner) slate.
Aquarius
Today can be tricky, but also inspiring, dear Aquarius. When it comes to close relationships, you might easily find yourself at cross purposes with someone. You may have a difficult time knowing what you want, possibly baffling those close to you. While you are inclined to express your unusual or sudden desires and feelings impulsively, it might be better to wait it out to see if you change your mind later. Matters from the past have a way of creeping up on you and then flooding your consciousness. However, if you can get past the drama of your feelings, there is very good energy with you today for communications, friendship, and attention to a project you’ve been nurturing. With the Moon Balsamic, avoid new beginnings. Tomorrow’s New Moon can redirect your interests and energies.
Pisces
Your desire for variety in your social life is stimulated strongly today, dear Pisces, but there may be some doubts or concerns that prevent you from interacting naturally with friends or associates. Someone could be playing hard to get, or they may not be playing at all – they might simply be out of touch with what they truly want. Watch for impulsive spending that comes from inner restlessness rather than true need or desire. You might elect to observe rather than get yourself in the middle of something sticky. You might learn something that is unsettling at first, but that leads to a better understanding of a relationship. If your mind is going in circles, try to find a path out, but do spend time on reflection on this day before a New Moon.

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.
AIR WEAK
You lack objectivity – the ability to stand back and view aspects of life from a detached and rational perspective. You have difficulty making decisions and in the process of weighing up the pros and cons in a logical manner.
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.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 20th:
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.
