Lunar Notes: Your Monthly Horoscope

Aries: When temptation crosses your path this month, trod the straight and narrow. Be the designated driver. This is a period of great opportunity for you and you need to be on your toes to take advantage of those seemingly chance encounters. Keep a cool head when confronted with someone’s anger. An insurance or tax rebate falls into your lap unexpectedly. Full Moon brings more of the unexpected.

Taurus: An encounter with someone or an introduction to a new acquaintance seems like a blast from the past even though you have never met this person before. There’s a Karmic or spiritual connection. Be on the alert, but let things play out as they may. You are digging deep into your psyche, eliminating old habits and ways. This person could point the way, but remember to listen to your gut reaction.

Gemini: Allies arrive from unexpected quarters. There is lots of conversation and discussion going on within personal relationships. Cooperation and agreement may be difficult. Romance arrives from unforeseen quarters as well. A platonic relationship heats up as it moves into romance territory. A surprising friendship develops with an unlikely candidate.

Cancer: This month is a mixed bag of smooth running relationships along with some discordant notes coming from folks you encounter on a daily basis. The neighbors get rambunctious; coworkers talk your ear off while authority figures throw you off balance with some outlandish proposals. Full Moon time is revelation time as someone you thought was an ally shows their true colors.

Leo: It’s not all fun and games, though you might wish it so. While you are out enjoying yourself, be aware of expenditures. Don’t let this month’s festivities bite you in the ass when next month’s bills are due. Be sure to get together with friends around the Full Moon for a pre-holiday celebration. Here you might encounter someone with power and position who will be helpful in the months to come.

Virgo: Handle all those details that you do so well this month at work and at home. Some folks are not cooperative while others appear to be in a fog. Work/Home, public/private life requires juggling skills. Your ruler, Mercury, will help you with that. Take the time to celebrate with congenial friends as a connection made now proves to be beneficial financially or romantically. Nice if it were both.

Libra: Everyone’s busy around the holidays, but you are busy with a capital B. Be careful what you say and with what you sign. There is a strong possibility that you will be misunderstood. Be very clear about what you want and what you mean. The time is ripe for entertaining at home. You relish decorating and remodeling a bit before Santa slides down the chimney.  

Scorpio: The chickens have come home to roost, Scorpio, and you are going to have to put your back into it if you want to paddle your way out of this particular canal you’ve gotten yourself into. This is a long-term issue that involves you finding out what is important to you and what isn’t. What isn’t gets dropped by the wayside. In the short term, fun and pleasant get-togethers with friends, siblings and neighbors make the holiday bright.

Sagittarius: The New Moon in your sign signals a time for some personal changes. A new hairdo, a new wardrobe or a new exercise routine are all possibilities, but the big changes that are going on are interior changes. You know what I am talking about. You’re cleaning out the dustbin of your mind, body and spirit, dumping anything that no longer serves you. Your personal value system is being overhauled.    

Capricorn: Back in 2008, Pluto entered the sign of Capricorn and he has been doing the rumba in your life ever since. Some of this has not been easy for you (an understatement). Take the time for some quiet reflection this month. You will come out of this intact as you are going to reinvent yourself. Also, take the time for some socializing with friends, coworkers and loved ones. You need it.

Aquarius: You are a real social butterfly this month, although at times you would prefer to be home, alone, reading a book. New friends, new lovers and new goals in life move to the forefront during this holiday period. You’ve got some brilliant ideas that are off the wall, even for eccentric Aquarius. Go with it no matter how bizarre it may seem. You are visualizing the future and where you want to be.

Pisces: You’re thinking about taking your life in a new direction. Your values are changing and you are opening to your spiritual side. This opening brings forth a burst of creativity. You use your unique talents in a grand and original manner; this is equally as true whether you are an artist or a plumber. People take notice and some monetary reward is apt to come your way.
