ARIES This week you will be tempted to work extra hard, as a matter of fact, work will be a comfortable place for you to escape to, especially if you are experiencing relationship problems. Be careful though, it’s not worth it to cause long term damage when you build a wall of silence between you and a partner. You’ve got tough lessons to learn about love for the rest of this year, but these lessons will help you understand that love takes work; you got to tend the garden in order to get flowers. Patience, fair play, and perseverance will help you make the best of everything. Office affairs are troublesome deals, especially at this time, do your best to avoid getting entangled in a situation that you will later regret.
TAURUS
Great ambitions come to you, you are ready to move forward and construct a new future for yourself during this New Year. You’ve got a lot of determination to make things happen, don’t ignore that push to make things better in the long run. This is your chance to change the world. Write out a list of things that you would like to accomplish. Clarity is the key...so make plans. However, don’t ignore your health, you need to work on balance, so take a rest here and there between your great spurts of energy, breathe, and find inner equilibrium.
GEMINI
Your intuition is as sharp as a knife, Gemini. Don’t ignore those signals. You will meet intense and interesting types who will bring out inner truth. Power struggles occur, but they give birth to integrity and positive change within. Your patience will be tested, because some people like to impose their methodology on you. Listen to what they have to say, and take what you need, that will work best for you. You can cut through nonsense easily and see the truth. React calmly; wait until you get all the facts before you make a move.
CANCER
Love is rough and intense and doesn’t always work out when it comes to family. Don’t wage war with your in-laws this holiday season; it’s just not worth it. Wounds occurred around this time will have a tendency to turn into full blown resentment if you’re not careful. Proceed with caution. Work on family issues and come to some kind of compromise that helps you find inner security. This is an excellent time to think about home repairs and renovation, especially if it involves help from a partner.
LEO
Take care of the small stuff, Leo. Forget about the big ideas, slow down and develop a strong sense of order that will allow you to see clearly. Sometimes peace isn’t the answer, you don’t like to get involved in verbal battles, but you will need to take a stand. Write out a priority list that will allow you to focus on what still needs to be accomplished. Work is good for your soul, but much like your Aries brothers and sisters, you’ll need to be careful that you don’t overdo things.
VIRGO
Creatively, you’re in a powerful place, Virgo. You could build something that could turn into a business. Write out some of those great ideas that come to you. If you’ve been feeling lost, this is your chance to find your way out of the maze. Planning is everything. Romantically, you could end up dancing with the devil so to speak, it will be fun, but don’t expect it to last. Financially, you’re going to be tightening that belt for the next few months, but it’s all about finding a sense of balance, once you do that, you’ll be fine for years to come.
LIBRA
The universe reminds you that this isn’t a good time to flake out, Libra. If you’ve made a promise, you better keep it. If you’ve committed to something, don’t give your friends a cheap excuse. The combination of Pluto and Venus in your fourth house reminds you that you need structure and order- that’s your bottom line. Weirdly enough, you’ve been taking yourself too seriously lately, stop that. If you have done something wrong, fix what’s broken, but don’t spend time beating yourself up over past mistakes.
SCORPIO
You are a powerful orator, Scorpio. When you whisper, people stop and listen to what you have to say. You are literally walking softly and carrying a big stick. The other side of the coin, however, causes you to wound others deeply with the words that you speak. So avoid giving someone the “sting” it’s not worth it in the long run. Old lessons from the past come back to haunt you. Around now, the universe encourages you to deal with the past, and then find the strength to move past it.
SAGITTARIUS
Financially, you’re in a very powerful place. You have the chance to really make a lot of money. You’ll have to tear down some old ideas and reconstruct your plans. This will take a lot of work on your part. Be prepared to start from scratch. Friendships are practically troublesome right now. Avoid getting involved in a co-dependent situation. It’s best to remain passive and diplomatic. Old friends show up however and challenge you to re-evaluate yourself; are you the same person you used to be? Is this a good or bad thing?
CAPRICORN
You are the dark horse in the race, the Vampire in the dance hall, the siren compelling sailors to sail towards a rocky shore. You have that magnetic power of attraction, and people are drawn to you. You could cast a spell on a lover, and win them over, but are you really getting the love that you need? Use this planetary power carefully. At work, however, this won’t wash, so lay low and play it fair. Your dark Jedi powers won’t work there.
AQUARIUS
I worry when Venus and Pluto get together. It’s like the setting for a horror movie. Someone dark and beautiful overpowers the victim who’s vulnerable enough to sail towards their own destruction. This planetary energy plays out in such a way, that you are mostly unaware of it. It’s much like the Titanic sailing towards the iceberg. My advice to you, Aquarius, is that you should never assume or underestimate, and don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Your ambitions are overpowering, but you must not abuse others in order to get to the top.
PISCES You bump into powerful and motivating people. I would say, if you are looking to move up in the world, get out there and socialize. Share your story with others, and you will find supporters who are in the right place to really make a difference. Believe in your cause, because flakey behaviour will only get you into trouble. It will be very hard for you to take sides, so I would advise you to play the part of the diplomat. You will need to work hard however, don’t rest until you are sure the job is done.
