Horoscopes

Aries

Inner restlessness can lead to overindulgence today, dear Aries. Pay attention to inner stirrings, as they may be pointing you in the right direction. You can become rather quickly agitated by circumstances or people that/who seem to be restricting you from growing and changing today, and possibly impatient with routines and methods that you’ve been using for so long that you’ve become bored. You can use this energy positively and mindfully by looking for ways to improve or update your methods and the ways you’re interacting with others instead of sticking with the same patterns of relating. You may be feeling caged in and desirous of change. While this is a time for looking forward and feeling confident about your “new” life, taking quick action may not have desirable outcomes. Listen to your urges, but judge whether you may be temporarily blowing things out of proportion. You tend to want to handle problems right away rather than let them fester or grow, and as the day advances, you’re more likely to do so patiently. This evening is excellent for regaining perspective and for enjoying a new vision of where you’re heading.

Taurus

Avoid too-quick decisions today that would be better made while in a more reasonable frame of mind, dear Taurus, but do pay attention to sudden urges, as they’re telling you something important about your deeper needs. You may need to deal with areas of your life, particularly related to work and service, which have become too restrictive. You can be quite preoccupied with people and situations from the past, and you might surprise yourself by opening up and sharing something that you have kept quiet. Avoid piling up new work than you can reasonably handle, as life can be very chaotic now. You are likely to find new ways of thinking about old problems, or new methods altogether, that allow you to keep the best of the old but also enable opening yourself up to the new. This is a time for revitalizing projects instead of discarding them outright. However, if something has truly outlived its purpose, you’re ready to put it behind you. There is an urgent and restless energy to the first half of the day, although as the day moves forward, you feel more in your element.

Gemini

You are enthusiastic today, dear Gemini, but you have a tendency to go to excess. It’s important that you avoid overreaching and taking on more than you can reasonably handle. Focus on long-range plans, and take some extra time for yourself, if possible, to recoup. Even so, pay extra attention to your interactions today, as you may gain a new understanding of your relationship situation. The fight to be freer is coming from a real place, but you might be going to extremes to achieve more independence when a more thoughtful approach would serve your purposes better. You may feel pushed into making a decision or rushed in some way now. A surprising connection might develop, or you could confront sudden urges to break away from a restrictive situation. While you’re itching to change your position, risky moves are not advised for the moment. Have faith in your ability to better manage your life, but avoid the traps of too-optimistic, unrealistic thinking, as there can be a tendency to do things too abruptly now. Later today, your enthusiasm remains, but you find it easier to be realistic about expectations.

Cancer

You are not always happy to rock the boat, but today, dear Cancer, you may be feeling too strongly about an issue to care very much if you make waves. While a relationship can have you feeling a little caged in, there is nevertheless good energy for bonding with someone special with openness and willingness to listen, learn, and improve. You can make important changes in your home life and career now and in the coming year as you identify the elements of your life that have become too restricting or outdated. The catalyst may be a conflict arising that somehow pits family matters against career, long-term goals, or outside responsibilities. A compromise should be sought. Stifling situations that you may have tolerated for some time suddenly seem pressing. As long as you keep at least one foot on the ground, this can be an inspiring time. Keep a positive frame of mind, but also peace of mind by using common sense in any new venture that is birthing now. As well, be cautious if you’re thinking of throwing out an in-progress project, as the feeling can pass. Distinguish between making changes for the sake of change, and making changes that will truly move you forward. Later today, you remain motivated but you are less likely to go into overdrive, and this helps you tremendously.

Leo

There can be an air of rebellion, impatience, or restlessness today, dear Leo. Regardless of your motivation to get things done, there may be plenty of distractions so that prioritizing makes the most sense. Later today, you’re more ready and willing to embrace a greater sense of peace. Tonight brings warm energy for learning from someone, and for putting faith in a relationship or direction you’re heading. Until then, consider that your expectations may be beyond what the world can supply you right now. There can be a strong desire to enforce change, and while it’s a compelling urge, think about how to do so to your advantage rather than jumping to action too quickly. Changes are brewing, and today you may not know exactly what they are, but you feel that something has to happen. Actions today can be impulsive, however, if you don’t tame them. There is no quick fix at the moment. Be honest with others, and especially with yourself. Tonight, dreams may be prophetic. You remain enthusiastic, but you’re less abrupt or impatient, and this helps you get the results you want.

Virgo

You might experience frustration today, dear Virgo, as you can feel as if some plans are not coming together as you expected. Aim to be as patient as possible, because your perceptions of the matter may be skewed by a feeling that things should be completed more quickly than they actually need to. Some of you could be in conflict with a partner or significant person, likely over money, possessions, or intimacy. There can be a sudden urge to break free from a situation wherein you’ve felt overly dependent. Watch today for impatience with others and impulsive purchases. However, if you’ve been feeling constrained or restricted, this can be a good time to recognize the need for change. As the day moves forward, opening your heart can help to strengthen a bond. Insecurities expressed now can be worked through. There can be advances in the areas of creativity, romance, or hobbies. Connections could be made that advance your personal interests, and especially the more heartfelt ones. You are inclined to make quick decisions just for now, partly because you are not in the mood to think things through.

Libra

Close relationships or partnerships demand attention today, dear Libra, but there can be conflicts afoot before you recognize exactly what needs to change. You are unlikely to feel content with the same old patterns of relating and living. You may be meeting challenges with others in order to realize your own potential. Your desire for freedom is strong, and this can upset the apple cart with those who are accustomed to a more content “you.” Your approach to life is visionary and confident right now. While challenging, there is also good energy today for repairing relationships as long as we’re open to making changes rather than making dramatic shows of independence. It’s better to think in terms of building solid foundations rather than seeking out immediate returns, even if the day’s energies are on the impulsive side. You are less dependent on others’ approval today, a little bolder and more outgoing, and possibly a little self-centered, which is, in fact, a good thing if not overdone or done too often. You are inclined to strike out on your own in some manner today, and it can feel good to do so.

Scorpio

Underlying tension and discomfort with the status quo can lead to making rash decisions, dear Scorpio. The need for freedom from restrictions is strong. There are some reservations, guilty feelings, or past matters that need handling in order for you to truly feel good about pursuing your new interests. Tension stimulated now is, in fact, based on a very real need for change — it’s only our approach to making changes that may be a little drastic or abrupt. Detach yourself enough to observe and learn from your interactions today, but don’t go so far that you miss the message. You may need to put your personal issues aside in order to make the most of the day, at least until you feel that you have everything under control. Distractions seem abundant now, but if you attempt to take care of one thing at a time, you’ll be better off for it. Taking short breaks to center yourself can help combat a chaotic atmosphere. When it comes to work or health and self-care efforts, you could be filled with ambition and ideas now, possibly to the point of overwhelm. Try to pace yourself. As the day advances, tempers tend to even out. Pleasing energy connects communications and learning with creativity, and the urge to get something done is with you.

Sagittarius

The desire to take action is strong today, dear Sagittarius, but if it’s not paired with a viable plan, you could simply feel frustrated or restless. An important player in your life could be similarly tense, demanding, or otherwise on edge. If you team up and aim to direct excess energy into constructive channels, you can go far. Keep yourself busy today. You may, in fact, need some extra time to regroup today. Center yourself so that you can come back at problems from a fresher perspective another day. When it comes to long-term plans and goals, you have a strong tendency right now to go overboard. Avoid taking on too much. Some of you could be dealing with tensions surrounding a romance or child right now. There may be a need to draw the line if expectations of you are far too high. You can experience a real impulsive streak now, and from time to time in the coming year as this aspect peaks again in the year ahead. If you have been suppressing yourself, impatience with this situation can come on quite suddenly now. Unexpected events can occur now that force you along a different path. As the day advances, you are in a better position to remain enthusiastic but more realistically so. You may need the courage to make certain decisions or to take action on matters that you’ve let slide or ignored. Home life can be pleasingly animated. There can be a strong urge to handle problem areas in and around the home, or with family.

Capricorn

Watch for impulsiveness with speech and judgment today, dear Capricorn, with Jupiter and Uranus in opposition. If you’ve felt restrained or limited and you’ve been suppressing things, today you might have a burst of temper as urges emerge abruptly. While some of your plans seem slow to manifest right now, remind yourself that good things take time. Avoid taking on too much, particularly in your career, but work on ways to improve your efficiency. People around you, in addition to yourself, may be craving more freedom, and overturned schedules and routines can certainly produce some waves in your life right now. Even so, little changes can satisfy you. You might decide to rearrange your living setup or reorganize your work or work environment, for example. You might come to an enlightening realization now that the changes are something that you need to grow. Freeing yourself from the role of the passive bystander in your own life is what this is all about, but it’s a process that takes time. Today’s energies are temperamental for all, but you have special charm right now, and others turn to you for help and healing as the day advances. Whether you’re learning or teaching, receiving or giving, you stand to gain. The truth is important now, but how you word the truth is as well, in equal measure.

Aquarius

Tap into what you truly want today, dear Aquarius, as impatience or restlessness can lead you to make decisions that you may regret later on. Your ruler, Uranus, forms a confrontational aspect with Jupiter, pointing to sudden illumination or something you’ve been tolerating and suppressing emerging in a seemingly disruptive way. Use the extra energy that is available to you now for something reasonable and productive. An epiphany of sorts along social lines is likely to come to you. Letting go of something that you’ve been using as a crutch or breaking out of a situation that has kept you from growing is really the best thing that could have happened to you, but attempts to do so mindfully will help. Adapting to a changeful daily environment can be stressful at times, but quite rewarding when you realize you can meet the challenges. Avoid jumping into something prematurely, however. Resolve to make improvements to your life in the areas that are frustrating you, but avoid taking on too much at once. Later today, your business instincts are excellent. A positive attitude tends to have the effect of moving obstacles out of your way.

Pisces

There can be a lot on your mind and on your plate today, dear Pisces. You may need to stretch yourself to accomplish everything you need and want to do. There can be some level of disorder in your personal life that distracts you from the tasks at hand. There is a need to rise above fears so that growth happens, and today’s energies tend to give you that courage, although they can be a little raw or disruptive initially. Finances and possessions are tricky areas, and if you’ve been feeling too dependent on others or if you have been putting up with situations in which you feel taken for granted, you can suddenly feel that you’ve had enough. Even so, new insights come in happy, empowering flashes for some of you, while some changes happening now can be upsetting or jarring as you make adjustments. The regular, usual routine is likely to change, and underlying this is your inner need for excitement and freedom from restrictions. Avoid an abrupt, impatient, or defensive manner for best results today. By later today, you recognize that camaraderie is more important to you than being right, and this is, in fact, a good time for building faith in a relationship through acceptance and appreciation. There can be healing powers to your words. Decisions made with, or about, friends and groups can be in focus and made quickly. There is impulsiveness now, but if you are listening to gut instincts rather than simply reacting to people around you, then you’re in good shape.

BALANCE OF MODES

FIXED WEAK

LUNAR PHASE: BALSAMIC

Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.

Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 26th:

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 involving inner planets 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. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
