Your horoscope from December 18 to 24, 2014

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Although a new moon usually produces a quieter go, we’re heading into a full-on weekend. Saturday is stacked with aspects involving Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Pluto. The Sagittarius moon makes a busy yet good-mileage day. Casual and/or spontaneous hits the mark for your evening’s entertainment.

      Retrograde since mid July, Uranus stations direct just 15 minutes before the winter solstice happens on Sunday (3:03 p.m.); the new moon occurs two hours later. Marking the sun’s entrance into Capricorn, the winter solstice represents the sun’s rebirth and renewal. The sun in Capricorn, a manifesting archetype, infuses greater life force into the building potentials. As such, it’s an auspicious time to set conscious intention.

      Astrologers use the winter solstice as an indicator of what to expect out of this next quarter. Receiving a boost from the new moon and Uranus, it seems we’ll cover significant fresh ground. Expect an active, industrious, full-tilt, fast-paced few months ahead.

      On Tuesday morning, Saturn exits Scorpio for Sagittarius. Wherever Saturn goes, it puts pressure on us to face the reality that’s defined by the sign it visits. Saturn in Sagittarius puts a more urgent priority on the future. The taskmaster urges us to face necessity and to accomplish something of tangible significance. When it comes to the shape of things to come, history dictates whether we’ll meet with reward or consequence.

      Aries
      March 20- April 19

      Saturday is an especially full and happening day. You’ll have no trouble figuring it out. Mars/Uranus keeps you at your creative and social best. They also loan you an intuitive sense of timing. Careerwise and personally, you have something of significance to accomplish through winter and spring. The Saturn-in-Sagittarius years will set your future solidly on its long-term course.

      Taurus
      April 19 - May 20

      One way or another, Saturday/Sunday gets you moving; it could get you spending, too. Venus loans you good timing and think-through. Mars/Uranus keeps you hitting it just right. Saturn in Sagittarius, starting Tuesday, will put more pressure on you to do better for yourself on all levels—materially, healthwise, personally, and relationshipwise. Next Wednesday, the stars can push buttons; breathe.

      Gemini
      May 20 - June 21

      Despite the crowds and traffic, Saturday can get you to your destination or move you through your checklist faster than anticipated. Sunday’s good too. Next Monday and Wednesday, the stars require more push-through. As of Tuesday, Saturn relieves the extra pressure on your work, work-it-out, and health sector. This next Saturn chapter asks you to take a bigger leap of faith.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      You’ll make good use of your time and money this weekend. Saturday/Sunday can spring you free or get you feeling your way along new lines. Monday comes with added pressure, but there’s little choice but to keep going. Wednesday is crunchy too. Saturn in Sagittarius puts a priority on making necessary improvements. It’ll force you to get more committed and take bigger steps.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 22

      You’re good to go Friday through Sunday, with Saturday edging out as the best day to travel, shop, or socialize. Venus and Uranus keep it brisk and entertaining. Monday’s one thing after another can be taxing, but by the day’s end you should feel pleased at how well you’ve done. The Saturn-in-Sagittarius years can see you reap a long-awaited heart’s desire.

      Virgo
      August 22 - September 22

      Friday/Saturday, welcome or entertain guests, spend time with family, or get on a plane to go see them. Monday and Wednesday could throw extras at you, but five planets in Capricorn hold you steady throughout. Saturn in Sagittarius will spend the next two years helping or forcing you to build a better, more secure foundation for the future, especially regarding home, family, and material bottom lines.

      Libra
      September 22 - October 22

      On Friday, it’s easy to lose track or fritter it away. Saturday is a full-tilt boogie. Venus, Mars, and Uranus keep socializing, travel, romance, and entertainment at their best. Although both dish up a different kind of pressure, Monday and Wednesday pile it on. The good news is that Saturn now exits your financial sector. You’re heading into the next growth curve.

      Scorpio
      October 22 - November 21

      The “gotta haves” could get the better of you. Even so, you know a good deal when you see it. Friday and Saturday are great date or social nights. On Sunday, you’ll get a better handle on it all. Monday is for knocking it down; Wednesday is for rolling with it. The agenda is already set as Saturn leaves Scorpio and enters Sagittarius. Call it phase next.

      Sagittarius
      November 21 - December 21

      Making your spirit shine brighter, the moon moves into Sagittarius just in time for the weekend. While Friday night is best for kicking back, Saturday puts everything on full throttle. Saturn has been hanging out in the background, but as of Tuesday it hits the Sagittarius dial. There’s no need to fear. While well aligned with Jupiter and Uranus, Saturn does you great justice.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 19

      It’s a get-your-jollies, get-your-sexy-on kind of weekend. Due to Venus/Pluto, you’re especially charismatic. Mars and Uranus can make you spunky, outspoken, and up for anything. Monday is a marathon. You’ll knock it down, one thing after another. As Saturn makes its way through Sagittarius, something long anticipated or hoped for becomes reality.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      Friday’s finish-off can’t come soon enough. On Saturday, you’re back to full swing. Travel or being out with the crowds should run smoothly, all things considered. Sunday’s Uranus brings a good jolt of clarity and inspiration. Tuesday/Wednesday, you call the shots. Professionally speaking, Saturn in Sagittarius can put you out there more. An increase in business travel is likely too.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 19

      Friday takes you as far as you can go. Start to finish, Saturday is an up and at ’em, wheels in motion, fully loaded day. Uranus direct, the winter solstice, and Saturn’s trek into Sagittarius will bring significant new goals to aim for. Tuesday can be an all-over-the-map day. Take things one at a time.
