Horoscopes
Aries
This is a potentially excellent day for personal initiatives, working with a team, connecting with friends, and for career matters, dear Aries. Even though you are a little retiring on an emotional level today, it’s an excellent opportunity period for making valuable connections and for standing out from the crowd in a very good way. You need to “own” the path you take, and the best way to do that is to get in touch with where you truly want to go, without the distractions of other people’s agendas and opinions. Energy and confidence are with you today, and you can be a particularly valuable member of a team or group, or you can work independently just as easily. You are cooperative yet also quite willing to take the lead.
Taurus
This is a potentially excellent day for both your personal life and career or reputation matters, dear Taurus. Something you’ve done in the past can be rewarded or recognized now. A progressive, tolerant, forward-looking spirit will help you to achieve your goals more efficiently right now. You want to do something out of the ordinary, and by thinking outside the box, and looking out, you gain benefits. It’s a time of opportunity, and you possess special enterprise that allows you to capitalize on an opportunity. A strong day for moving your career forward is in store. You’re also likely to find that others are supportive or, at the very least, cooperative. It’s a good time to stick your neck out and do something a little differently.
Gemini
Your desire to be free and independent comes to the surface today, dear Gemini. Your inventive side is also highlighted. You’re cooperative with others, but you’d prefer not to have anyone slow you down – you need to follow your own internal rhythm. However, it’s a better time for group initiatives than it is for personal efforts, so do whatever you can to share your knowledge, expertise, or simply your time with others. Your unique vision or opinions help you to stand out from the crowd right now. There can be excellent opportunities to share and connect with others now, and this can also be a great time for new initiatives or plans for publishing a work, teaching, or learning. A chance to catch up with an old friend is possible now.
Cancer
If you need some backing, you’re likely to get it today, dear Cancer. Not only are you attracting positive attention, but you’re also inspiring trust. It’s an excellent day for being productive. Wiling away the day won’t leave you feeling satisfied, so apply yourself to a special project or make plans for something that you haven’t had time for in the past.
The day has an analytical and detached feel, so it may not be best for getting across a compassionate vibe, but it’s strong for getting work done, taking charge, and new ideas or methods. Non-traditional methods and attitudes work best for you now. This is a strong day for garnering support, particularly when it comes to financial and professional matters, especially if you’re showing a spirit for advancement and excitement about the future.
Leo
This is an excellent day for any kind of partner or group work, dear Leo. You’ll find that others are unusually cooperative and looking forward rather than getting stuck in a groove. Common goals and philosophies are apparent now and act to cement your bond. There is a strong sense of adventure experienced now, and activities shared with a partner can be particularly exciting and perhaps a little daring. The desire to stand out as unique or to do something a little different and innovative can overcome you now. The more brave and adventurous side of your nature emerges. It’s an excellent time for interesting and inspired conversations.
Virgo
There’s a general atmosphere around you that might be interpreted as tense and impatient today, dear Virgo, but when you look at it another way, it can also be stimulating. You can be driven by a high level of idealism. You will not put up with narrow-mindedness or intolerance. You may have a strong desire to move forward with a project on the job and could reach a nice breakthrough moment. You want to do something out of the ordinary, new, and unique with what you have. There can be advances in work or health matters now. When inspired and knowing that you’re doing something different and exciting, you can get a lot more done. There may be a major discovery about an old financial matter or intimate relationship made now.
Libra
Your energy levels are high and your power of attraction super right now, dear Libra. You’re ready to take a few personal risks in order to be involved in a project or relationship that excites you. Good energy is with your for creative tasks and for inspired ways of interacting with others. You are willing to take the lead in a relationship right now, without stepping on anyone’s toes or coming across as pushy. Ask for what you want from a relationship, and you may very well get it. Being direct works wonders today. This makes it a good day for asking for what you want, or for more effectively pursuing your desires – others tend to support you or at the very least stand out of your way without question. Express yourself creatively without inhibition for fabulous results now.
Scorpio
You have added energy for work around the home today, dear Scorpio, as well as the ability to take the lead in a family matter. Others are putting their faith in you. This is a great time to work on letting go of grudges, which can be toxic to you not only now but the longer you keep them. Today’s energies invite forward movement, change, and liberation, making it ideal for putting something negative behind you. A forward-looking, positive mood suits you well. You can work with extraordinary energy if you are inspired. Opportunities to approach things a little differently should be capitalized upon. This can be a good time for technological improvements around the home or office. You can turn unglamorous tasks into something creative and exciting today.
Sagittarius
You are in the mood for taking a personal risk or gamble today, dear Sagittarius. This is a potentially excellent day for moving forward with communications and learning projects. Others are putting their faith in your powers of reasoning today, and for good reason. You are willing to take some creative risks when it comes to writing and speaking, and the results are super. Somebody might challenge you to think in new ways or to consider an entirely different perspective. If allowed some spontaneity and leeway, you can come up with something quite fabulous today. You’re standing out as especially creative and unique. This is an excellent time for energy, initiative, creativity, and romantic attraction. It’s a good time for taking personal risks when it comes to expressing your feelings or your art/craft.
Capricorn
The day promises to be quite stimulating and interesting, dear Capricorn. You can entertain some truly fabulous new creative ideas about money or domestic matters. You are in a very positive mood, and others are likely to enjoy your company today. There may be a new approach to an old problem around the home or regarding living conditions and arrangements. Upgrading and improving are in focus and favorable now. You’re bolder in business or with money, and you’re ready to take action on a matter that has been lingering. Positiveness about your situation fuels you with the energy to get things done. You may be motivating others with your enthusiasm now, particularly family members or those closest to you. You’re interested in building something particularly creative now.
Aquarius
You’re likely to find that if you throw yourself into personal or mental projects – even games – your mood lifts these days, dear Aquarius. Opportunities to express and enjoy yourself are emerging. This is a time for feeling that you can take on anything, particularly on a mental level. You are expressing yourself more assertively and spontaneously. You can quickly become inspired by your projects, interests, or even news you hear now. If you are not already totally into something, it’s a great time to explore new ideas and make new connections. A new perspective on an old problem can lead you to action. Important changes can be made now. This is also a magnificent time for getting what you want, pitching an idea, or receiving a green light for a project.
Pisces
Today should be busy and stimulating, dear Pisces. A low boredom threshold now can actually work in your favor, leading you to fun or even breakthrough discoveries. There can be a feeling of wanting to make your good luck. You are feeling in the groove – moving along without many hitches, and others tend to be giving you the freedom to do so. This is an excellent time for uplifting, forward-looking, and inspired connections and methods. Even so, this is a time when you are not quite as willing to share your thoughts and plans, that is, until you come more in touch with them yourself. Intuition runs high right now, making it a good time for original methods and taking actions that free you from hindrances and problems.

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 6th:
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).
