Horoscopes
Aries
Duties or obligations to others can be filled now quite willingly, dear Aries. Commitments tend to come easily today. Good advice is exchanged, and there is renewed or increased respect with a love interest or partner. You enjoy being responsible for or with others right now. When it comes to love, you are optimistic but realistic, which is a beautiful place to be! The Moon continues to transit your sector of friendships and community most of the day, stimulating your desire to be involved. However, you’re moving into a brief phase in which some seclusion or withdrawal is natural and even healing.
Taurus
You enjoy keeping busy right now, dear Taurus, and can feel good about getting work done, whether it’s for your career or around the home. You’re active and involved, and that’s how you like it today. You’re dedicated and enthusiastic, and the key is the ability to pace yourself. There is a lot of energy with you these days and going forward for enjoying what you do and doing what you enjoy. This can also be a strong day for dedicating extra time to domestic matters, although you’re likely to be quite preoccupied with long-term goals and outside responsibilities today.
Gemini
You can feel pleasantly busy, engaged, and committed to something you truly enjoy today, dear Gemini. It’s a fine day to make a commitment or to take steps towards an important goal. You’re likely to benefit from planning or mapping out a long-term goal now, and you can feel that making plans is enjoyable. Learning or creating are keys to this – you can be very excited about your pursuits and willing to put in extra effort to get somewhere with them. You can be particularly resourceful and industrious when it comes to a project you love. Your judgment is very sound today. New ideas and progressive thought are appealing to you, and you could get involved in a stimulating conversation now, but your heart is in your own projects and relationships for the time being.
Cancer
This is another good day for research and investigation, dear Cancer. You’re seeing the layers of any given situation and can very quickly solve problems and discover motivations that you missed in the past. While this is an inventive week in general, today’s energies favor dedication and commitment, as well as a middle of the road approach, particularly with finances and home matters. You’re willing to put in the extra work to make your life more secure and comfortable. Strategies for long-range success are attractive and clever now. You can feel quite satisfied and happy as you take care of your practical concerns today.
Leo
This is a generally commitment-friendly period for you, dear Leo, and this trait is emphasized today. In fact, you’re thoroughly enjoying your ability to take responsibility and content about putting extra effort into your relationships and/or projects now. The benefits of self-discipline are clear to you right now. You’re also inclined to enjoy planning and mapping out long-term strategies for success. You’re coming to the right balance between keeping things simple and traditional, and allowing for future growth and expansion. In a general way, this applies to the coming year.
Virgo
This is a great time to commit to a program for improving your lifestyle and health, dear Virgo. You are ready to commit and you can feel particularly excited about getting healthier and following a plan, as you’re able to envision the future benefits of doing so. This is also a good time for feeling confident about financial planning. You are open to a variety of approaches now, but tend to choose ones that support conservative growth. You’re both practical and optimistic, and this benefits you tremendously. Decisions about money, work, and health are sound today.
Libra
Today is strong for feeling connected and responsible, dear Libra, and you love the idea! You’re willing to put in added effort for friends or a cherished dream or plan. Planning ahead is satisfying right now. Working with people in an organized or structured capacity can be very rewarding and can yield results. You’re both confident and realistic today, and you’re entertaining dreams and goals that are truly realizable. You’d rather work on improving or upgrading a project than to start something entirely new, and this “recycling” experience can work well for you right now. Realistic confidence is with you now, helping you to make the right choices.
Scorpio
This is an important time to learn and observe, dear Scorpio, in a step-by-step fashion. This theme extends through much of 2017 while Jupiter moves through the sign just behind yours as you prepare for Jupiter’s transit of your sign that will begin in November 2017. Make this a period for learning as much as you can as you head to bigger and better things. Cooperation and successful collaboration with people you work with can be helpful right now. It’s easier to resolve problems and disagreements today, and it’s a time for working towards getting a leg up on your competition. You’re more interested in steady growth than immediate results or instant gratification, and this is a major key to your success.
Sagittarius
It’s difficult to faze you or get you down for very long right now, dear Sagittarius. It’s a strong time for collaborations and supportive friendships or satisfying networking. You can feel pleasantly devoted to your studies and personal interests. Your instincts are excellent right now. You are entertaining possibilities but staying grounded in reality such that decisions made now are sound and work for you in the long-term. You experience a healthy amount of faith in others but not so much that you’re acting naively. In fact, you can benefit from keeping some of your ambitions and plans to yourself for the time being.
Capricorn
This is a good time for slow but steady progress in your work as well as attention to your inner world, dear Capricorn. You can be exceptionally focused on your hidden self or personal psychology these days, and this theme is pronounced today. Attitudes towards success can impact performance, and this relationship is easier to see clearly at the moment. Finding ways to make peace with your past can help you in small but significant ways, as this process frees you to pursue your goals more heartedly. There is great wisdom in a step-by-step approach to your work, responsibilities, and long-term goals. More clarity is with you than usual, and this benefits long-range decisions in addition to solving problems in the present. Planning and strategy are favored and quite enjoyable now. In fact, it makes you a little more satisfied with success this way, simply because it feels less random.
Aquarius
This is a good time for serious thought and putting time into decision making, dear Aquarius. You have positive but also realistic expectations, and this helps you to choose wisely. Outlets for your enthusiasm may be found in your relationships, personal interests, education and learning, and projects. Educational or travel matters can benefit in small but measurable ways today. You may be considering a personal adventure that excites you, but that is also practical or useful to your career. Combining pleasure and business can be successful now. You feel good about filling your responsibilities and personal obligations to others, and you’re willing to make some sacrifices to do so. However, people are giving you extra leeway and showing their appreciation for you now.
Pisces
This is a good time for a realistic assessment of your work, goals, and lifestyle, dear Pisces. You are seeing things a little more clearly right now, so take advantage and do some serious thinking concerning which parts of your life deserve the most attention. You may find it relieving to let go of goals that you’ve been obsessive about or that have not been serving your best interests. This way, you can turn your attention to the most meaningful or profitable ones. You are ready to make commitments, and you’re showing a lot of dedication to certain goals, particularly related to work and health.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.

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

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
Current 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.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 5th:
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).
