Sagittarius The Archer (Nov. 22 – Dec. 20)
Take every opportunity this week to give of yourself emotionally. One or more people are in your life because you have something to teach them. This is a great time to make positive changes in your appearance.
For All Signs The planet Mars, ancient god of war, turns direct on the 9th after a retrograde period that began on Oct. 1. During this time we are often detoured from taking significant external action. Though often frustrating, this time allows us to struggle with inner boundaries before expanding or claiming new outer territory. As Mars turns direct, we may find resolve to roadblocks experienced in recent months. Or we will realize we didn’t really need to take the proposed path in the first place.
Aries The activities of Mars particularly relate to you because this planet is your ruler. Over the past two months Mars has been backtracking in the area of self and financial worth. This suggests a reworking of your finances may be necessary.
Taurus Mars has been in your sign since the end of July. Since that time you have intuitively sensed that it was not quite the right time to take action. Things may move slowly until early February, and then you will make a leap in forward motion.
Gemini Over the weekend you have favorable aspects for love and social life. From midweek forward there is a good opportunity to heal a wound with your significant other or another family member. Your partner needs TLC. He/she has misunderstood something that occurred between you.
Cancer A conflict of heart versus mind has plagued you since the last week of November. After Dec. 8 you should be able to find a resolution inside yourself that will materialize soon. This holiday season will be a little tighter than usual. You are creative. Invent your gifts.
Leo You have a mix of energies this week. On one hand this is a great time to share yourself with others, to enjoy artistic pursuits and to improve your appearance. On the other, you may be pursued by the inner critic, making it hard for you to relax. The critic lies. Send it packing.
Virgo This continues to be a favorable period to express your creativity. Following the 12th, your attention is drawn to home and family. Do not let the inner critic press negative attitudes upon you. Worry over things that might never happen make us old before our time.
Libra The financial picture is looking up. Love, social life and creativity have favorable aspects now. Your mind is focused on the beautiful. Small gifts and/or favors may come your way. People are particularly listening to your opinions. Think before you speak.
Scorpio You are drawn to healing/helping activities at this time. It doesn’t matter whether you are the healer or the recipient. Either activity ultimately has a soothing effect. It is also probable that your sense of life’s meaning is finally being revived after a long sleepy spell.
Capricorn You have lots of opportunities for a lively social and love life. Things of beauty particularly attract your attention now. This is a good time to make changes in your appearance. Use self-discipline with nagging worries. Don’t let them spoil the mood or your attitude.
Aquarius This is a time when it is important to share yourself with others. That means both give and take. Companions are a source of comfort and healing if you need it. You may also be in the right place at the right time to assist others. Your awareness of the spiritual is heightened.
Pisces Follow your dreams and your intuition at this time. Messages are coming to you from everywhere, so if you forget a dream, it will return in another form later. Over recent years your natural sense of the mystical has waned. Aspects now coalesce to call you back toward awe, reverence.
