Horoscopes
Aries
Today, you are quite content to stay put, dear Aries, and to surround yourself with familiar people and things. Even so, there can be some impatience, or a building sense that you want to do something different, more exciting, and more fulfilling. This may very well build to a recognition that you need others, perhaps a team, in order to maximize success. You’ll end this year and begin the next in good form. You are ready to take care of business. The year ahead brings wonderful opportunities for both work and play. Romantic attention will be forthcoming in 2015, and work should pick up speed as well.
Taurus
Today, you end the year on an especially high note. The Moon is in your sign and you could very well be the life of the party, dear Taurus. Others are supportive and a whole lot of fun. While you should definitely watch for impatience today, this is a good time for getting noticed. You are excitable and perhaps a little easy on the trigger today, but you’re also more than willing to end this year, and start the next, feeling fresh. The year ahead continues to bring good fortune when it comes to family and your personal life, and will introduce plenty of positive energy for romance and recreation.
Gemini
The Moon is in your privacy sector all day, and you may prefer to keep any end of the year celebrations light, dear Gemini. You’re likely to be in a more introspective mood than usual today, as you require a little more personal space and time to relax. Even so, this puts you in a superb position for letting go of the past in order to make way for the future. Tie up loose ends, consider those things that no longer serve you well, and let go of behaviors and attitudes that are weighing you down and preventing you from starting fresh. The year ahead will continue to stimulate you when it comes to learning, education, and making contacts, and will introduce especially good energy for family and home life.
Cancer
The year ahead of you should bring much to celebrate, dear Cancer, particularly when it comes to finances, business, developing talents, learning, and communications. Take the time to make a note of what you’ve achieved in 2014 – you may very well discover that more has been accomplished than you were aware of. Conditions are good today for any celebrations you may have planned. You are in an especially sociable mood. You can be a social butterfly with the Moon in your social sector all day. Still, watch carefully for a tendency to want to do too much, too fast.
Leo
Wherever you go today, you’re sure to get noticed. This is because the Moon is transiting the most visible and notable area of your chart, dear Leo. Your responsibilities to others are highlighted. You may be sensitive to offhand remarks today, but keep in mind that it’s all too easy to speak before thinking right now. In 2015, Jupiter will continue to transit your sign – a lucky transit indeed, if you “keep it real”. Take advantage of opportunities, when others are looking upon you favorably and showing their support. 2015 will also introduce fortunate energy for establishing yourself and getting comfortable.
Virgo
You end the year with much get up and go – ready for adventure, however big or small. Share your good humor, dear Virgo, and enjoy the positive feedback. Take extra care driving and communicating, as there can be a tendency to be impatient and short with others, without intending to offend. There can be quite a bit of pressure to get things done, so sitting idly may only serve to frustrate. You can feel especially passionate about your beliefs and opinions, and can be quite sensitive about them as well. Playing a supportive role to others will continue to be a theme in your life in the New Year, and 2015 will introduce strong, fortunate energy for self-expression.
Libra
You end the year feeling quite strengthened by your friendships and connections, dear Libra, and this will continue for many months into 2015. Today, you’d probably prefer to observe others than to actively socialize, but you’re certainly not unfriendly. The day’s energies are upbeat, although perhaps a little too competitive or impulsive for your liking at times. Nevertheless, conversations today can stimulate some wonderful ideas, particularly business-oriented. Tension is building, especially if you’re feeling restricted or without direction. In the coming week, you’ll better understand what it is you want to do to make improvements all around.
Scorpio
The year ahead holds much promise for you, dear Scorpio, especially when it comes to career and social affairs. Today, you’re particularly concerned with close relationships and you tend to want to take someone with you in practically everything you do. While there can be a tendency today to become easily offended or frustrated, consider that tension building within you has to do with a desire to grow and improve. In the coming days, it will be especially important that you reach out and make contact, and be as professional as you can in the process.
Sagittarius
With the Moon in your solar sixth house as you say goodbye to 2014, dear Sagittarius, you’re more inclined to observe than fully participate. You may not be feeling as spirited as many people around you, but positive in a quiet way. It’s a good day for original ideas and problem solving. You need, however, to watch for impatience and hastiness with your ruler, Jupiter, moving into hard aspect with assertive Mars. You have much to celebrate (in advance!) for the year to come. You are able to meet daily stresses and inconveniences with a positive attitude, and your career is set for a boost in the second half of 2015.
Capricorn
You end the year in a generally positive frame of mind, dear Capricorn. Conversations are stimulating, creative, and flirtatious. Personal magnetism runs high. Share your thoughts and listen generously. The Moon is in your recreation sector all day, and this brings out a need to share your affection with others, to play and enjoy, and to celebrate. The year ahead continues to bring strong energy for your intimate relationships, and will introduce fortunate energy for travel, education, and other mind-expanding endeavors.
Aquarius
Today, the Moon is in a rather homebody, withdrawn part of your chart, dear Aquarius, and you may want to either stick close to home, or surround yourself with familiar sights and people as you end the year. You are likely in good spirits, particularly happy with matters of the past that seem to be settling. Generally speaking, you are not quite ready to make resolutions at the beginning of January – for you, January is often a time for reviewing the past. This is true again this year, but you are also building a strong sense of self and independence as you greet the New Year. Today, there can be some tension building in a close relationship. Consider that this is really about the need to grow and improve, and think of ways you can do so while preserving your independence on some level.
Pisces
Today brings positive energy to your life, dear Pisces, and is strong for year end/year beginning celebrations. You are chatty, communicative, and curious. You’ll find that others are cooperative and looking forward rather than getting stuck in a groove, although a little prone to debate and sensitivity when it comes to their opinions and beliefs with Mars and Jupiter moving to an opposition. Try not to get carried away, and instead focus on what Mars-Jupiter is really about, and that is a deep need to expand, improve, and grow. The year ahead will continue to bring improvements to your work and health, and will also introduce strong energy for partnering.

We are less inclined to consider the consequences of over-eating, over-drinking, or overdoing in general. This is a time to show some restraint. Grandiosity is not appreciated right now, and excess doesn’t go over well either. With a little self-control we can learn about what truly makes us happy.

CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
Scores: Fire 3; Earth 11; Air 2; Water 1
EARTH STRONG
You are a practical and efficient, hands-on person. You can be relied on to take a common-sense approach to most matters. Your down-to-earth manner stands you in good stead for the daily chores of life. Your weakness lies in your sometimes stubborn refusal to make changes in your life. You tend to stifle both your own and other people’s enthusiasm.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
Scores: Cardinal 9; Fixed 6; Mutable 2
CARDINAL STRONG
You enjoy challenge and action, and become frustrated when you have no recourse for change. You expect others to also rise to a challenge.

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are action oriented with managerial capabilities and the ability to get results. We may sometimes push too hard for our ideals.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 31st:
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. (This is the case for daily astrology influences, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
