Horoscopes
Aries
Early today, you may be seeing differences more than similarities in your relationships, dear Aries, which can put you in a somewhat cranky mood. People can rub you the wrong way, but you can also be a little more sensitive than usual as well. However, as the day advances, your thoughts turn to bigger and more significant concerns. This can be a day for defending someone or an idea, and feeling good about doing so. You might choose to work on building rapport with friends or a group connection today, or you may take the lead in a matter, going your own creative way but considering others’ input as well. In any group situation, you are a leader now.
Taurus
This morning, it can be difficult to truly know what you want, dear Taurus, and you can feel some discontent. People around you may seem hard to please, but it may also simply be a reflection of your own unrest. The tendency to overindulge is with you now until you recognize this. Consider your feelings, but try not to let them distract you from your goals, unless, of course, you need to –and can — take a break right now. As the day advances, you may have a meaningful discussion about a partnership matter or agreement. There is also strong energy available for new creative approaches to a work project.
Gemini
The first half of the day may involve some misjudgments about people, dear Gemini. You could crave company but then itch for some freedom, or vice versa. Feelings are contradictory for now, and it’s just fine to try to make sense of them, but avoid making impactful decisions based on the perceptions of the moment. As the day advances, good energy is with you for creative problem solving. You may be excited about helping people understand your point of view today. However, try not to push this too hard. You’re ready for a healthy debate now, and you’re likely to make some fabulous points.
Cancer
This morning, as much as you’d like to be productive, there can be problems sticking to any particular idea or path, dear Cancer. This is likely the result of competing tastes and interests that are difficult to manage. It may be that you need to take a short breather from a current project so that you come back at it with fresh ideas. Business strategy can thrive later today. You may be drawing up effective plans and solving problems quickly and expertly. If there has been inequality in a relationship, you are more likely to address this issue now. Intimate matters can also benefit from further thought, attention, or discussion.
Leo
While this is a good time generally speaking for connecting with others, dear Leo, this morning’s energies can play around with your feelings. There is a tendency to want things to come easily now, and it can be a challenge getting going on any one particular endeavor just for now. You might also question whether you’re appreciated or valued by others. However, it may be that you’re concentrating too much on differences and problem areas and overlooking the good things in the process. Consciously looking for the silver linings may help. As the day advances, there’s very strong energy for problem-solving that gets results in a partnership. You are eager to deal with inequalities or to explore an exciting activity. You might thoroughly enjoy drawing up plans and coming up with new ideas with a special someone.
Virgo
The Sun and Venus in minor challenging aspect with one another this morning can point to small problems surfacing in our interactions, dear Virgo. The problems creeping up may be those that you thought were behind you but that have been operating in a hidden way. Explore your feelings now, but try not to let discrepancies or socially awkward moments impact your big decisions. As the day advances, you can find yourself in an excellent position vis a vis a work project or plan. You are confident about a direction to take or a plan coming to mind now. You are thinking in slightly bolder terms when it comes to your work, and you’re feeling keen and eager when it comes to taking better care of your health. The second half of the day brings freer interactions with others and powerful energy for problem-solving in the areas of work and health.
Libra
With your ruler, Venus, in a challenging aspect with the Sun this morning, dear Libra, you may be feeling a little out of step with others or perhaps overlooked. You are more likely than usual to feel uncertain or to doubt others’ feelings for you now. Keep in mind that being out of step or experiencing timing that is a little off is not necessarily a sign of a larger problem – it’s only when a pattern persists that you should pay close attention. As the day advances, you’re likely to feel more independent and ready to express yourself openly and directly. Excellent energy is with you for creative pursuits of all kinds. Your sense of harmony and balance is powerful. It’s a great time to draw up a design or try a new hobby or form of entertainment.
Scorpio
The first half of the day is less likely to be productive than the second half, which promises to be quite excellent for solving problems and moving on, dear Scorpio. If hidden problems or other tensions surface with people close to you this morning, try not to make too much of it. In fact, it can be helpful to know about problems before they grow further. Watch for a tendency to want to spend away your troubles, but if you could use a little break or some pampering, then you might decide to treat yourself now. Later today is good for problem-solving around the home and with family or personal matters, and it’s also strong for bringing more beauty and balance to your domestic world. Decisions come far more easily now, and they’re likely to be very reasonable ones.
Sagittarius
This morning, it can be difficult getting yourself going on any one thing wholeheartedly, dear Sagittarius, mainly due to distractions and emotional states. There may be misunderstandings experienced relating with the people around you due to problems understanding exactly what we want and need. However, as the day advances, your confidence, particularly about your ideas and personal interests or studies, increases tremendously. There is great energy for solving problems, especially mechanical and learning or schooling ones. You may be recognized for your wise words or intelligence now. This is an industrious time when you approach problems courageously and directly and get results!
Capricorn
Earlier today, you may be seeking out extra comfort, dear Capricorn, perhaps from the wrong places — you can be feeling a little restless or discontented but have a difficult time knowing what it is that you are craving. It’s not the best time for making purchases, mainly because it’s hard to know what’s valuable to you with your desires fluctuating. Wait for making significant investments and decisions until you are in better touch with your needs. As the day advances, you’re less likely to allow these issues to distract you. There is excellent energy with you for problem-solving with business, financial, and practical affairs. You are ready to take on a challenge and to take action on matters, particularly if you have been feeling short-changed. Your resourcefulness is in full force now.
Aquarius
Do your best to avoid letting your ego rule your actions this morning, dear Aquarius, as you are especially sensitive to being left out or not appreciated in the first half of the day. Your judgment is a little off now, as it can be difficult to understand, temporarily, what it is you truly value. Your emotions can be up and down in the morning if you pay too much attention to how others are (or are not) responding to you. As the day advances, however, wonderful energy is with you for self-confident action. This is your time to shine! You may be turned to for advice now. Your reasoning skills are excellent, particularly for new ventures. Making plans and designs can figure strongly now and can excite and motivate you.
Pisces
If you are on the fence about a matter this morning, dear Pisces, consider keeping it that way and deferring decisions to a later date. You may need to put something out of your mind temporarily so that you can come back to it at a later time with fresh energy. It can be difficult to get started on new projects, so work on those already in progress, or, better yet, take some downtime if it’s possible. In order to send out a positive message that receives positive attention, get in touch with your needs and desires, as you may not know exactly what it is you are striving towards. As the day advances, you can feel compelled to deal with a nagging problem and finally take care of it. There is strong healing energy accessible. You’re unlikely to accept poor conditions for yourself now, and you are ready to take decisive action.

Current Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 14th:
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).
