Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
Your emotional world is in good shape today, dear Aries, as you pay it special attention. You can get into applying yourself to personal projects, and sharing your feelings with others enhances bonds. Your increased sensitivity to the personal atmosphere around you and others’ moods doesn’t seem to get in your way–in fact, you’re drawing strength from it. You tend to push aside practical considerations in favor of visions and dreams today. Today is more about catching some inspiration than locking something down. You can feel a psychic connection with someone or experience powerful dreams that stick with you throughout the day and perhaps motivate you. Tapping into your intuition is easy now.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
The day can stir up interesting ideas and desires, dear Taurus. Transits are also brilliant for your social life. It’s easy to rally support if you need it, and friends or partners are willing to talk things through and come up with solutions to problems. It’s a strong time to look at the people and projects in your life in a new way. You can feel as if you’re on the verge of a significant change, and the uncertainty involved with this particular situation is more exciting than destabilizing. You can be inspired by news. It’s a brilliant time for intuition, connections or increased understanding (that may border on psychic) with a friend, ideas, designs, and plans for the future.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Some things are up in the air, dear Gemini, but transits now help you feel good about the mystery. If there’s something complicated you want to address, now would be a good time to give it a go since there’s a spirit of openness and willingness to listen. Your appetite for knowledge is also strong today. You may come to excellent ideas or conclusions about business, career, or financial matters. Brainstorm about these things for the best results now. Connecting with your inner wisdom comes especially easy when you relax and center yourself.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
Transits today help you fully use your unique intelligence, insight, and creativity, dear Cancer, as you get the chance to apply these things. Or, you might gain some appreciation and recognition for these assets. It’s a powerful time for personal appeal. You draw upon your powers of observation and intuition to make things work and solve problems today. It feels great to tune into a higher mission, connection, or opportunity. If you find your emotional center today, it can be an excellent time for exploring a subject of great interest to you.

Leo
Leo
Leo
You’re well-positioned to calm down and unwind today, dear Leo, primarily through attention to special projects or a special person! It’s a fabulous time to negotiate, compromise, and brainstorm with others, particularly with loved ones. People are notably fair, straightforward, and open–far more so than usual. It can be a good time to iron out differences or tackle projects that would benefit from a cooperative effort, primarily around the home, in your personal life, and on an emotional level. Even if you’re getting definite answers to your questions now, there is so much activity, interest, and intrigue going on that you can’t help but enjoy yourself. It’s even the case that some uncertainty is appealing today and tomorrow.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Today’s energies are powerful for your relationships, dear Virgo, as conversations are two-way, and you appreciate this beautiful energy. Your social life can get a boost, and transits today stir your imagination. Advice can be golden now. It’s a time when a partner is more reasonable and willing to meet you halfway. In turn, you enjoy giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Transits support sorting out problems, but the process is unlikely to be especially straightforward or logical. Imagination seems to dominate, and it’s working for you! You’re sure to enjoy a stronger connection to your intuition today.

Libra
Libra
Libra
Practical intelligence heightens, and imagination gets a boost, dear Libra, helping to round things out. Problem-solving abilities are excellent today and tomorrow, even if they’re not always linear or straightforward. Others may seek your advice, and you’re happy to oblige them in return. Bringing imagination to your practical affairs, work, or communications can be in focus. If you need to look at a problem from a different perspective, you’ll find it an excellent time to do so. Conversations can be easy and even dreamy if your connection with someone is strong and perhaps on the confusing side with someone with whom you don’t have that kind of understanding. You might thoroughly enjoy making budgets, plans, and strategies. With research and intuition, you find just what you need. Work or health matters can thrive now.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
Today’s energies are especially supportive of self-expression, even if clarity or precision isn’t always involved, dear Scorpio. Your creative qualities dominate now, and your dedication is also in good form. Today is excellent for tapping into your intuition and making it work for you, but it’s not something you can push, and you may need a leisurely, natural pace to get in touch. Positive educational, promotional, publishing, work, or travel news may be forthcoming. Or, vibing with someone can motivate and energize you in other life departments. A psychic connection with someone can be notable, and relationships can thrive.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Today’s transits especially support your emotional world, dear Sagittarius. You’re focusing on fun ideas and creative musings in addition to your personal needs. You might come up with a beautiful idea or receive news that lifts you. Others seem especially fair, cooperative, and generous, and you could feel a stronger commitment to a relationship. Family or a partner may be on the same page with you, or they could have your back. Harmony between your needs for personal and interactive time can get you into a wonderful frame of mind.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
Today’s energies boost for your relationships, happiness goals, communications, and social life, dear Capricorn. Communications flow well, and others cooperate with you more than usual, leaving you more time and energy to do your thing. It comes naturally to understand, hear, and validate one another. It’s also easy to give someone the benefit of the doubt, and putting trust in them feels good. While the mood is primarily playful and easygoing, it’s a good time to pull back, let go, and process recent events.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
You’re well-positioned to assess the practical value of things today and tomorrow, dear Aquarius, and your business sense is sharp. Even so, you are considerably more intuitive, and psychic impressions are notable. Money, family, and security matters can thrive, as problems seem to straighten out, and your intuition is easy to access and on point regarding these issues. At the same time, cooperation comes more readily and naturally than usual, and it feels good to feel the freedom to do your own thing. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and even though emotional needs are stronger than usual, you’re in a reasonable, moderate mood.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
Today’s transits are powerful for igniting your imagination, dear Pisces. It’s a good time for generating creative ideas and gaining some appreciation for your unique, standout qualities. Bonding with others comes naturally, and you tend to know what you want and go after it. If you need to reach an understanding or fair agreement, you might choose today or tomorrow to do so. Don’t be surprised if something you say today catches on, perhaps inspiring others. You’re in great shape for expressing yourself today; it’s more about your compassion and perceptiveness than your words that seem to work best for you now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

 

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

 

CAPRICORN STRONG

Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.

AQUARIUS STRONG

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.

 

Today’s Elemental Balance

 

FIRE WEAK

We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.

EARTH STRONG

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.

WATER WEAK

There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.

 

Today’s Modal Balance

 

CARDINAL STRONG

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.

 

Today’s Lunar Phase

 

LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT

Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun. 

This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

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 the Moon 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).
