Summary:
This is a good day for consciously slowing ourselves down, if it doesn’t happen naturally, in order to appreciate what we already have and know. It makes sense to aim for simple, earthy activities, and with Vesta entering Capricorn, find ways to add more structure and order to our lives, which can in fact improve motivation levels.

Horoscopes
Aries
Mars has been keeping you busy with career or responsibilities, dear Aries, but is set to move out of your professional sector tomorrow. Today, however, Vesta enters this same sector, and this can have the effect of extending this ambitious, powerful phase. This time, however, persistence and patience tend to replace pressure, and you are more able to enjoy your work and duties. It’s very important to bring more structure and order to your endeavors, as this will really help to achieve more success. You may be in the position of manager, leader, or organizer during this cycle.
Taurus
Today and tomorrow are strong for you, dear Taurus, with the Moon in your sign, and tomorrow, your ruler, Venus, in especially good form. You are magnanimous, more trusting and trustworthy, and also quite ready to forgive and forget – and move forward! There may be a significant issue from your past that reaches resolution or that you quite suddenly feel ready to move forward from. You are also entering a cycle today that improves your focus and concentration levels. You are seeking out more meaning in your life, and with a stronger sense of purpose, you thrive.
Gemini
You are entering a cycle in which there can be a lot going on under the surface of things, dear Gemini. You can work tirelessly during this period, and you may feel that you’re making many concessions for others or that you need to put your own plans on hold. Healing can come through intimacy or through counseling/therapy. You could be quite obsessed with finding more balance in your life. Research can bring rewards, but avoid digging so deeply that you end up exposing things you’re not ready to see. The Moon is now in your privacy sector. Today and tomorrow, you’re naturally a little withdrawn. Recharge, relax, and renew yourself. Avoid excess.
Cancer
You are entering a cycle today that reminds you that you can get a whole lot more done if you are paired up with someone special, dear Cancer. This is not always the case, but at the moment, you tend to need someone to jump start or motivate your own efforts. You will have to watch for putting so much effort into your relationships or into others’ needs that you ignore your own. You might also find that your close relationships can become tense without a project to put your energy into, or without active focus and purpose. Today is strong for friendships and networking, and tomorrow is likely to be even more so.
Leo
If health or work have been troublesome in any way recently, dear Leo, a new cycle that begins today will help set things right. Adding a little more order or structure to your routines can be the key to healing. You can also feel a building need to tend to your natural need for exercise and good nutrition. In the coming weeks, more and more emphasis on work, service, and health is likely, and you’ll have all the tools you need to take charge. However, there can be times when you need to make some personal sacrifices or when you may feel that you’re under the radar during this cycle. Today and tomorrow are strong for connecting with a partner, creative pursuits, and optimism.
Virgo
You are approaching a very creative, inspired period, dear Virgo. You could begin to feel the sparks of excitement about a hobby, project, or other interest building. In the coming weeks, really getting somewhere with a hobby or pastime is possible, whether it’s something already in place, a rekindling of an old interest, or an entirely new source of inspiration. In fact, this can all be very healing for you, so tap in to your creative muse and find ways to let loose your imagination. Let go of a need to be perfect, and just have fun.
Libra
You are entering a cycle in which self-healing efforts can be powerful, dear Libra. Tending to your home base, matters of security and comfort, to the needs of your loved ones, and to your own safety and care are empowering and even healing activities now and even more so in the coming weeks. Bringing more structure and order to the home can be an important part of this, but also focusing on the feeling side is vital. You might find ways to work from or on the home, and this builds a sense of comfort.
Scorpio
You can find that your interest is building in learning projects and communications that serve a strong purpose, such as writing or speaking for business, dear Scorpio. In fact, the next several weeks are quite excellent for getting a word out. People are taking you seriously, and they’re drawn to your advice or ideas, possibly even for healing. This is also an excellent time for counselling and talking through problems. It’s also a good period for gathering truly useful, helpful information.
Sagittarius
You are entering a period in which you can do much for yourself through natural, simple, and earthy activities and healing approaches, dear Sagittarius. You need to feel more connected with nature in order to feel alive and well. There is more patience and persistence available to you now, and even more so in coming weeks. You are at your best right now if you develop self-sufficiency, with few expectations of others. Today is strong for emphasizing the practical and material side of your life.
Capricorn
Even though Mars will be leaving your sign tomorrow, dear Capricorn, enthusiasm is likely to remain quite high with Vesta entering Capricorn today and staying with you into the New Year. Furthermore, as December advances, you’ll be hosting more and more planets. This is putting you in the spotlight, and is also helping to fuel your inspiration and motivation. You are braver, with a very healthy focus on your own needs and desires. There is wisdom in focusing on the self, within moderation of course, as it can be healing. Others can see you as especially competent, although a little withdrawn or hard to reach. Be dedicated and persistent, but watch for obsessiveness.
Aquarius
Really take advantage of the Moon entering your home and family sector shortly into the day, dear Aquarius, for some form of emotional retreat. With Mars entering your sign tomorrow evening, effectively emerging in your chart, you’re on the verge of a high-energy cycle that is strong for going after what you want. Of course, it would be wise to know what it is you desire! Learning what’s in your heart is, in fact, made easier with today and tomorrow’s energies. Even so, there is a sense that things are changing. The support of an important player in your life seems to be in place right now.
Pisces
You might get the opportunity to come to some level of peace about a problem or disappointment from your past today, dear Pisces. There is good energy for both physical/material comfort and mental ease. It’s important that you let others know that you need some time to recharge, just so that they don’t take it personally when you feel the need to be on your own, as there can be more of that kind of energy in the period ahead of you. At the same time, when you are present, you are more than present, due to your dedication. You simply are a person who needs to recoup and regroup, as you tend to absorb a lot from your environment and it can be draining.

Your weakness lies in your tendency to exaggerate and your inability to cope with the more mundane activities in life.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 3rd:
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.
