Horoscopes for the Week of December 3-9, 2012

We greet this energetic week eager to start new projects now that the evocative Moon is in extroverted Leo. The Moon's Grand Fire Trine with the inspirational Sagittarius Sun and irrepressible Uranus in pioneering Aries makes this a propitious time to initiate action. We are willing to set our goals a little higher and stretch a bit further to reach them. Even if we run into obstacles, we still feel joy from the upward movement of our spirit. December 3 is not a typical day because this magical transit is ideal if you've ever had a great idea you'd like to try out for real. It's perfect for planning a trip somewhere exotic, or even for taking a small day trip. 
The only thing that might slow you down on December 3 is Jupiter's tendency toward complacency and laziness ... but perhaps this simply means that you sit around and dream up grand schemes, or watch documentaries on far-flung places.
But any way this day works out for you, you'll end it feeling happy and content!

There's no better time for a little self-improvement than when you're already feeling good about yourself. After all, things can only get better, right?

On December 7: Mercury conjuncts the north node
The communication planet's contact to the Scorpio north node brings ideas and information that can change the way you think -- and even affect your decisions for the future. Listen to what people have to tell you, pay attention to interesting articles you read and take note of your dreams. There's a message in there for you, but you have to keep your ears and eyes open to benefit from what the universe is whispering in your ear. Take advantage of this opportunity to bring good things into your life and, with it, a greater sense of purpose. Perhaps most importantly, trust your intuition, pay attention to your feelings and listen to your gut instincts!

And if you want to know more and in detail how your life could shape up if you only knew what/how to do...you may want to book an appointment with me for a private consultation on skype, the phone or in person. Check availability by emailing me at [email protected]

Here are my insights on what is in store for each sign this week.




ARIES

Mars and Venus form a charmed angle to each other, blessing you with top star (Hollywood star!) magnetism. What’s going on behind your mysterious smile? Keep the world guessing, Aries, as your mystique makes people rapidly curious about you. Drop enticing hints. Whisper. Suggest. Start telling a story, then dash off like Cinderella before the stroke of midnight. Just a taste of the Aries magic will have people clamoring for more. Pumped up with this much power and sex appeal, you’ll want to use the gifts of this Mars-Venus angle selectively. While you’ll easily magnetize people into your orbit, it’s the quality of relationships—not the quantity of them–that separates the wheat from the chaff. Aim high…and a little higher still. 


TAURUS


You’re a regular philosopher of love this week, Taurus, thanks to two pairs of planets—Venus and Mars, and Saturn and Pluto–forming friendly angles to each other and broadening your outlook on what makes an ideal partnership. Last week, your trademark stubbornness was in full swing. This week, those sore subjects and sticking points pave the way for deeper love and understanding. You’ll feel willing to discuss, listen with an open mind, and try on another perspective. IT WAS ABOUT TIME! Let go of your need to have all the answers; you don’t have to come prepared this time. Instead, co-create a solution through a dialogue (tip: don’t just talk at people, listen too!). 


GEMINI

Self-care is sexy, Gemini, so what will it take to restore your inner glow? This week, two pairs of planets—Mars and Venus, and Saturn and Pluto—form life-affirming angles to each other, prodding you to prioritize your own well-being. While seductive Mars and Venus might send you on a spa day, Saturn and Pluto bring more of an Extreme Makeover vibe to the mix. No more putting off trips to the doctor or ignoring everything you know about exercise and nutrition. Suffering is optional, Gemini, and a check-up will be far less painful than dealing with nagging aches and mood swings. Get your blood levels checked. If you’re feeling low-energy, it’s possible that low iron is verging on anemia or that spending more time indoors has translated into a thyroid-slowing Vitamin D deficiency. You might even have a food allergy,...you won't know until you check...that was my point, you do not have to obsess that something is terribly wrong:)


 
CANCER

You’re a wizard in the realm of love this week, as Mars and Venus form a charmed angle to each other in the most amorous parts of your chart, your fifth house of romance. Dynamic duo anyone? Structured Saturn and transformational Pluto, forming the exact same angle. Venus and Saturn are in scintillating Scorpio while Mars and Pluto traverse the "playing-for-keeps" Capricorn. Wooh! Your love light is turned on high beam bright allowing you to create the soulful structures you need for a lasting union. What do you desire from a partner, Cancer? It wouldn’t hurt to break out your journal and write down about it, or even make a refresher list of qualities that turn you on--and off. Not that you should wield this list like a weapon. It’s just that you’re such a giver that you easily lose sight of your own needs when you’re trying to perfect a partnership. Seeing those needs of yours in writing can prompt overdue conversations that bring back the balance—and the love

LEO


 Two pairs of planets—Mars and Venus plus Saturn and Pluto—are forming easy-breezy angles between your fourth house of kin and your sixth house of service. Don’t forget, however, that the road to family harmony is a two-way street. If you’ve been neglecting your nearest and dearest (or straight-up avoiding them since that aggravating Mercury retrograde blowout), the coast is clear to make contact again. As the holiday spirit sweeps over you, remember that charity begins in the home. Sure, go ahead and organize the community toy drive. Just don’t forget that offering babysitting services to your burnt-out brother or making a donation to your cousin’s college fund qualifies as an equally beneficent contribution as one you make to a non-profit…more so, perhaps, since you’ll get to see, firsthand, the rewards of your generous act.  Saturn and Pluto bring a weightier energy to the mix, forcing you to dig into some issues that are brewing below the surface. A scary situation with a relative, insecurity about home and finances, frustration with the current circumstances under your roof: look there first. Yjis is the fabric emotional eating is made of...enough said.
 


VIRGO


 The world’s your stage this week, Virgo, and you’ll deliver your lines to perfection. Two planetary pairs—Venus and Mars plus Saturn and Pluto—form charmed angles to each other, helping you make a splash in the public eye. This is a week where you could truly put your name on the map, announcing your arrival as a player in the game. The magic behind this planetary combination? Venus and Saturn are touring seductive Scorpio and your third house of communication. To say you have the gift of THE word is an understatement. Your words create worlds, so speak and write as if you were the architect of a grand plan (you are). Shyness and modesty, begone! Be your own promoter, promoting your offerings with confidence and verve. Lusty Mars and Pluto are both holding court in Capricorn and your fifth house of fame, romance, and creativity. This gives you added allure, not to mention a strong presence. 



LIBRA


"It is better to give this week than to receive", at least when it comes to evoking a feeling-good buzz. Two pairs of planets—Mars and Venus, plus Saturn and Pluto—nestle in a friendly configuration, calling forth your nurturing nature. You’re a little bit of a Mother figure this week, particularly protective of the ones you love. Go to war and defend someone in your inner circle if necessary, Libra, and be prepared to pitch in your arguments with the speed of light. You will make sure justice (and fairness) has been restored. Anyone would benefit from having you as an advocate. Remarkably, you manage to defend people’s honour without losing your cool…the picture of grace and diplomacy that you always are! Of course, it’s fine to give to yourself as well. Mars and Venus sound the call for TLC. Slowwww down, Libra. Decreasing your manic pace means you’ll enjoy the moment more. And your sleeping patterns might come back to normality...you have been burning the candle at both ends lately.


SCORPIO


If you can’t be with the one you love, should you love the one you’re with? Not a bad solution, Scorpio, especially if the current object of your affections is more of a tortured obsession than a clear candidate for a healthy relationship. Oh how you love the highs and lows, but what you label as amore might just be an addictive adrenaline rush. There are immense rewards (emotionally, spiritually ) and well being spreading throughout the realm when you are in a deep (and constructive) relationship. So…pay attention to the sweet soul who’s been hovering right under your nose. There’s a chance you’ve been overlooking the obvious in affairs of the heart. This week, a friendly angle between Mars and Venus could snap you out of your haze. Doh! Someone you pushed into the friend zone could be the one you kiss under clouds of confetti this NYE.  


SAGITTARIUS


You’re poetry in motion this week, Sagittarius as two pairs of planet—Mars and Venus plus Saturn and Pluto—lock into a harmonious configuration. Your friends count on you to deliver the perfect sarcastic answer on the spot or a silly impersonation. But all jokes aside, you’re more of a compassionate mushball than a comedian this week; the empathic soul who can truly say, “I feel you” and mean it. Your loved ones will be happy to see the softer side of Sag. Don’t be embarrassed if you well up during the most basic of conversations or while flipping through your mom's old pictures. Mars and Venus are the zodiac’s power couple and this week they’re pushing for TLC and sweet, sentimental gestures. Pick-up the phone and that loved one who has been quietly on your corner for ages smile...for once.


CAPRICORN

 A leadership role will land in your lap…nothing new for you. What’s different this time is the approach you’ll take. Rather than ordering the troops around like a five-star general, you’ll be able to get in the trenches and play too. You’re more of a facilitator and organizer, which gives you a greater sense of belonging. You can also lead by example, modeling the can-do spirit for people rather than barking commands. When it comes to your social life, the circumference of your social circle may burst at the seams from so much expansion. But rather than gravitating towards people in your social wheelhouse, you’re interested in bonding with the avant-garde, freethinking set. Let yourself be a misfit among the misfits. The “fish out of water” phase will pass soon and you’ll enjoy being part of such a unique circle of people. Embrace your secret rebel streak.



AQUARIUS

You’re both business and partying this week, Aquarius, a heady combination indeed. That’s because two pairs of planets—Venus and Mars plus Saturn and Pluto—are forming friendly angles between your ambitious tenth house and your twelfth house of escapism. Fantasy and reality come together in a beguiling mix making you feel almost crazy at times. Half of you is the results-oriented, take-no-prisoners taskmaster; the other half is rounding everyone up for Happy Hour and many, many pre-Christmas parties. You’ll have tons of creative energy at your disposal thanks to this cosmic quartet. Bring some imaginative force into your work. An inspired idea could launch you to new levels of success, even getting some Aquarians noticed by a well-heeled “head-hunter” type. Make sure you keep a respectable professional boundary in place if you’re going to socialize with your co-workers. 
 

PISCES

Mars and Venus, the cosmic power couple, are forming a lighthearted angle to each other making it easier for you to stretch outside the confines of convention. Venus is touring your broad-minded and adventurous ninth house while Mars keeps pace in your offbeat, anything-goes eleventh house. You’ll be attracted to people (and attract them in return) who fall outside the realm of your usual line-up. Keep your ears peeled for sexy accents and if you have any travel planned, slip a cocktail dress and heels into your rollerboard. You’ll be fascinated by “foreigners,” or anyone who hails from another provenance. The week’s dalliances might not lead to a happily-ever-after, so focus on enjoying an enriching experience with someone who makes you think and feel anew. If nothing else, you’ll have a steamy and exotic chapter to add to your future memoirs—well worth the experience
