All Signs
"Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." There must be since Mercury retrograde is over by the 20th, and the entire week is fine for shopping. Dec 24th is a delightful day. The Moon is void of course on Christmas Day, which means shortages and delays along with fun, goofy times. There's a Full Moon on Boxing Day, which creates a little tension with everyone the day before. (But it's minor stuff.) We shall survive the holidays! Of course, there's too much month left at the end of the money. Especially this month when -- Veni, vidi, Visa: we came, we saw, we went shopping. And what of eggnog and stuffed turkey? According to Covert Bailey, no diet can remove all the fat because the brain is entirely fat; and without a brain, all you can do is run for public office. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Unexpected opportunities to travel, plus surprises connected with publishing, the media, and the law keep you on your toes now. Fortunately, you have the patience and willingness to take care of a lot of red tape details connected with insurance matters, debt, estates, shared property and taxes. Good for you! You're prepared to keep plugging along until you get the job done. (This is admirable.) Bosses, VIPs and parents are impressed with you this month (and next.) Because of this you can expect praise and possibly even a raise. All eyes are on you now. If asked to accept extra responsibilities -- do so. You will shine! (Trust me.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Others are willing to help you do physical work that requires attention to detail. There might be some initial resistance, but in the end, they'll deliver the goods. In fact, you might be surprised at gifts and goodies that come your way now. In the bigger picture, during the next 4-6 weeks, you want to expand your horizons. Life takes on an exciting tone because travel, people from other cultures, and educational opportunities bring added stimulation to your daily routine. Something in the media might intrigue you. Surprise wins and losses to shared property are also likely now. (Hey, you can't throw that away. I'm collecting those.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're definitely in work mode. (The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.) Nevertheless, you're approaching your job in a nice, steady, productive pace. It's the only thing to do without being overwhelmed by it all. One day at a time and all that. Task by task. You might be involved with other people's property, as well as sorting out shared possessions. This also involves patience and diligence to tackle the work at hand. And you're doing it! (Very impressive.) Relations with partners, clients and the public in general hold a few surprises for you now. But nothing you can't handle. You understand what Churchill meant, "When you're going through hell, keep going."
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're involved with partnerships and one to one relationships for the next six weeks. Basically, it's a good thing because you can learn a lot about yourself now just by watching how you deal with others, and how you react to what they say and do. Your creative efforts, as well as work related to children, demand a lot from you. But you're up to this. You're also working hard to prepare for festivities and entertaining functions. You're making lists and keeping track of minor details so that nothing is missed. Some pleasant surprises will catch you off guard. But we're not talking the Spanish Inquisition or anything. You're in the groove!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You're working very hard at home right now to pull a tremendous amount together. Chaos and increased activity at home, and perhaps some tension among family members combine to present you with a few challenges. But you can do it! Suddenly, despite opportunities for fun, flirtations and romance -- you're in the mood to get things done. "Pull once more my lads!" Your work ethic, your energy, and your ability to keep plugging away will save the day. What makes you particularly productive this year is your positive attitude. Your belief that you can achieve a lot will make it so. "Beam me down, Scotty. I left my credit card back there."
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You have the patience and willingness to do steady, exacting, detailed work right now. You're crossing things off your list. Your ability to work at a controlled, regular pace allows you to accomplish a lot. Plus you have the concentration necessary to do intricate, involved work. Of course, you always have this ability, but this week you have it in spades! Surprise gifts and goodies from partners might delight you now. New technology for your home is exciting. Work hard now because in a matter of days, a lovely shifts takes place that promote holidays, fun times, romance, playful activities with children, and enjoyment of the arts. (There's no time like the pleasant.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You feel like you're hemorrhaging money! And you probably are. But you're also able to work very steadily at your job right now. In fact, even you are amazed at how much you can accomplish. In large measure, this is because your focus on home, family, and your private life has spurred you into action. You love a beautiful, inviting home; and you're determined to create a welcome ambience for guests and family alike. (Remember: if you put out fresh flowers you don't have to dust.) New acquaintances in your life are stimulating. New faces, new places, and cutting-edge ideas excite you now. You finally realize the ultimate choice in life is: work or daytime television.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're an indomitable force right now! Mars is in your sign, and Mars rules the muscles and assertive energy. This week, stern, steady Saturn stabilizes and bolsters this energy. The upshot of this is that you have tremendous perseverance right now. You can build bridges and move mountains! (You'll at least do the laundry and get the dishes done.) You're happy to chip away at any job at hand so that you make some decent headway. You want results, and you're willing and patient enough to do whatever it takes to finish the task. Lucky you. This is the perfect frame of mind to have when there's lots to do. With increased demands from siblings, plus mucho errands and shopping - your hair's on fire!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You're working steadily behind the scenes at some personal project. You can clear up loose details about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances, taxes and debt. It's a relief that Mercury is no longer retrograde because it was retrograde in your sign. Now the level of silly errors and delays returns to normal. However, you can expect a few surprises related to family members or your home. Power outages and appliance breakdowns are possible. Something a bit bizarre and unpredictable might briefly take place this week. Aside from that, your focus continues to be on money: in other words, how can you make a fortune overnight? Your proverbial question.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This week the Sun moves into your sign giving you an opportunity to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. You're willing to work with others to accomplish things. You don't need star billing. You're happy to give your input wherever it is needed. This is a good time for you now. In the next few weeks, opportunities and influential people are attracted to you. Something that held you back seems to be removed now. You feel liberated and freer to pursue whatever you want. Since career opportunities abound (important people think you're the cat's meow), despite the holiday distractions, think how to promote your good name!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Bosses, VIPs and parents are impressed with your hard work. Right now, your ambition is aroused. This week you will work steadily and assiduously to complete detailed, mundane tasks. (Somebody's got to do it.) Because of this gargantuan effort, you'll welcome opportunities to crawl away by yourself and have some solitude where you can munch serious junk food and play videogames, watch TV or read. You see now that you can't be all things to all people. Not all the time. Your fellow Aquarian Abe Lincoln knew this. (But this is my favourite quote of his: "If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee."
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You social butterfly! In the next 4-6 weeks, your phone will ring off the hook. E-mails will increase, and friends will be knocking on your door. Everyone wants to see your face! Unexpected kudos might thrust you temporarily in the limelight. This could mean a raise and some praise. People are impressed with your efforts to coordinate travel plans, matters connected with publishing, and educational events. You're everywhere doing everything. You might be in position to help people from other cultures and different countries. Your efforts could favourably impact someone far away. It's time to round up the troops and set your armies marching!
