Horoscopes
Aries
Mercury, Venus, and Pluto are visiting your sector of career, responsibilities, and reputation, dear Aries, and today brings the Sun and the Moon to this area of your solar chart. The New Moon today can help bring (or even necessitate) a new beginning or fresh start when it comes to these things. Your ambition is stimulated, and your need to produce and accomplish is great now and in the weeks to come. This is a time for visualizing where you’d like to go professionally. Your powers of influence are strong. You may be able to see, more clearly, those situations and attitudes that you need to put behind you in order to take better charge of your life. Focus on improving your professional image or status, as well as your attitude towards taking on responsibilities. Work on cultivating more self-discipline – it’s a powerful time to do so.
Taurus
Take in and draw upon your intuition today, dear Taurus, which will serve you much more appropriately than logic alone. There can be an intimate matter that comes to a conclusion, as well as a feeling that you’re healing and moving forward. A New Moon occurs tonights that prompts you to add more life experiences and adventures to your world. The desire to feed your spirit with new experiences, perspectives, and knowledge is strong now. The coming weeks can be a successful period for renewing your attitude towards life with new activities that expand your mind, and a commitment to moving beyond your ordinary routines and schedules.
Gemini
Until tonight, energies are that of an end of a cycle – a time for reflection and review rather than for pushing ahead with new endeavors, dear Gemini. The New Moon brings fresh energy to your intimacy sector tonight, and this is a very strong time for empowerment. It’s a powerful cycle for connecting more deeply to a partner or to your deeper desires and needs. On a material level, it’s a time for dealing with debt, and on an emotional level, it’s about your dependencies on others or substances. Aim to get in better touch with your deeper feelings, even, and possibly especially, those emotions that aren’t very pretty or flattering. The closer you get to yourself, the less likely you’ll stir up unnecessary drama around you. It’s also a strong time for breaking bad habits.
Cancer
As a Moon-ruled Cancer, any New Moon can stimulate heightened sensitivity. Because today’s New Moon occurs in your opposite sign, it has more impact on you and possibly a significant other in your life. Changes are in the works, but much of the day, it’s better to reflect and intuit. In the coming days and weeks, negotiations and one-to-one relationships are in strong focus, and a new start may occur regarding a close relationship. This is a time for redefining or putting new effort into your relationships. Try not to project your own fantasies onto someone else. Depending on someone else to make you happy is a gamble at best. Instead, consider your contribution and put as much effort as you can into doing your part to your own satisfaction.
Leo
A New Moon occurs tonight, dear Leo. Because you are ruled by the Sun, New Moons tend to affect you more than most, and taking a lighter schedule, if possible, can help. Occurring in your work and health sector, the coming weeks are powerful for bringing new energy to your daily routines. New plans or projects are on the horizon, and for many, renewed interest in existing ones. Initiating new or improved work schedules and healthier routines can be especially successful. The focus is on increasing efficiency, feeling productive and useful, and rediscovering the joys of being of service. During this cycle, you might solve a complex problem, reorganize something from top to bottom, or perhaps even find a new way to approach an old health problem. This is a good time for making a resolution along these lines, but today, watch for misinformation or gossip circulating.
Virgo
The New Moon occurring tonight activates your creativity and romantic sector, dear Virgo, bringing wonderfully fresh energy to these life departments. This lunation can spark creative urges, as well as your need for more expression through play, amusement, and hobbies. You want to make an impact with what you create or for who you are, and your desire for attention is strong. Now and in coming weeks, investing yourself in your romantic life, children, hobbies, and creative work is favored. It’s a time for rediscovering your zest for life. It’s an especially strong period for bringing more creativity and individuality to your work or business. Today, be careful of what you communicate, as you could speak too soon about something that leads to regrets later. Try to wait things out.
Libra
The New Moon today launches a cycle of re-organization and shift of energy when it comes to your home life, roots, and support systems, dear Libra. What, and who, supports you, as well as how you support others comes into strong focus now. and if improvements can be made, the coming weeks are ideal for making them. You could become more clearly aware of your deepest feelings, desires, and needs. Reorganizing the home environment can help boost your feelings of security, and activities with family can bond you closer to the people you love. Recognize that fixation on problems won’t solve them unless your attitude is forward-looking. Channel your energies into a project around the home that will truly make life easier, more beautiful, or more comfortable.
Scorpio
A New Moon occurs this evening, bringing shifts of activity and reorganization of priorities, dear Scorpio, particularly surrounding how you conduct your daily activities, how you communicate with others, and how you feed your need to learn. In the next few weeks, good energy is with you for taking charge of the details of daily life, and for improving and developing mental rapport with people around you. This is in fact a good day for making resolutions. However, try not to put too much into something promised to you today. You don’t have all the facts before you, and neither do others. Wait until a few days after the New Moon before making solid decisions and plans, if possible, but do take the time to consider ways to improve your life through your communications, particularly in practical, responsible ways.
Sagittarius
While you are an on-the-go person by nature, dear Sagittarius, the New Moon today brings good energy for staying put and enjoying the world of the five senses. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus. Good energy is with you for starting anew, especially in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Setting financial goals and drawing up budgets are favored. You may be thinking up new ways to boost your income or earning potential. Especially with Saturn about to enter your sign (officially on the 23rd), you will benefit from tending to the important structures in your life in the coming weeks. Today, be a little more vigilant about what you say, and especially what you promise.
Capricorn
The New Moon that occurs today launches a cycle in which you can successfully reinvent yourself in personal ways, dear Capricorn. Changes you are making these days can be permanent ones, so do what you can to make them as positive as possible. It’s time to take more control of your life, and this can most effectively be done by controlling your attitudes towards going after what you want. A new way of expressing yourself might be appropriate now, and re-energizing. The weeks ahead can be a period of enjoying new experiences, more personal bravery, and a time to boost and enhance a partnership. You are more sensitive to, and in tune with, your immediate environment. You have more personal impact, but you are also quite self-motivated now.
Aquarius
The New Moon that occurs today gives you a fresh start when it comes to your spiritual life. The weeks ahead favor a recharge of sorts as you wind down and consider ways to improve your emotional/mental health. Outworn attitudes have to go, and circumstances now make you especially aware of this fact. You might decide to take action on recent revelations, although for the most part, you are in a stage of mulling things over with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in your soul sector. This cycle emphasizes taking time for rest and reflection, and a break from pursuits that are excessively materialistic or competitive. It’s a time for identifying those situations and attitudes that need to be put behind you. While this may sound a little stark or reclusive, Uranus’ direct motion will shake things up sufficiently that life doesn’t seem even a little dull.
Pisces
The New Moon that occurs today launches a cycle that brings strong awareness of your need for others, dear Pisces. Making contacts is in focus, and reaching out to others can be on social and professional levels. This is a time for de-emphasizing focus on the self. You become more aware of problems that need fixing when it comes to your connection to friends or groups, as well as long-term happiness goals. More community or group involvement can satisfy. You can be motivated to come up with ideas for new projects – to plant some seeds, so to speak. Others might be especially motivated to fix or strengthen a friendship or possibly even to cut one out of their life. While emotions are so strong today that your perceptions are exaggerated, over the coming days and weeks, carefully consider ways to improve your connections, to your friends, networks, and community.

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 21st:
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.
