My Stars:
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): There are many days at the start of December, where you are feeling like a freshly popped bottle of champagne, effervescent and delighting those surrounding you. But this, like the open bottle, can go flat quickly. Sometimes you’re so wrapped up in your own joy that it’s difficult to read the room correctly; sometimes it’s better to not let others know of your good fortune.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): Not that one would usually think of Saturn as being a wolf stalking any particular sign. This winter its position in the skies takes on an inhibiting quality for your sign. Perhaps we should consider it a treacherous slushy path that you need to navigate while attending day-to-day needs. This need for caution should not dissuade you from any particular thing. Just don’t bury your face in your phone, and take out the earbuds.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Saturn, as your ruling planet, has a different effect in your chart than it does in anyone else’s. It can invigorate you in ways that it inhibits others. As we move on toward Christmas, be assured that a new brace of affections should manifest for you. It’s the small appreciations in life that add up to being one big present for being you. Don’t be afraid to share your good fortune with others.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Madame Z would like to promise you a cozy cabin in the woods (or the equivalent) with a pet beside you and a delightful fireplace. You get the idea. Better yet, let me occupy that place first to make sure it’s safe for you. Unlike other signs, this season fortune smiles upon you. Hopefully you can relax enough to appreciate these small comforts. This local lucky stroke should extend through January.
Pisces (February 19-March 20): This is going to be an exhausting period of time according to the astrological aspects currently governing your sign. Hopefully you’ve been eating your Wheaties or working out recently. Venus, the Sun, and Mars are pushing all your buttons; there’s no way to turn off the switch that governs your responsibilities and your pursuit of your desires. Effectively you’re driving with one foot on the brake and one on the gas. As you are probably aware, this can burn out your system. You might just want to pull off the road.
Aries (March 21-April 20): It might be best for you to realize that we are all sometimes over it all, and this has been a burden for us all, but you appear more weighted down by it (do we really need to discuss what the it is that is weighing us all down?). Best for you to listen to that inner voice and not be coerced into donning a festive façade, which you would struggle to maintain.
Taurus (April 21-May 20): While you have been held back by cold feet, it’s time to get moving, not only to get the circulation going, but for you to be in circulation again. While your financial concerns are reasonable and to be endorsed as a course of action, Saturn and Uranus are setting a new tone for you, and should allow a good measure of frivolity to be your portion. May your good example bring us all hope on New Year’s Day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): All of the seasonal gaiety can often feel like scraps of shredded confetti, swirling around your head, as though we’re trapped in a pocket universe, like the classic snow globe as seen at the end of St. Elsewhere. While you perceive, better than most, its artificiality, at least you’re gifted with the ability to be a good sport about it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): The run-up to the holidays will provide a few stumbling blocks. Sometimes it might seem as though it’s better to just cast your financial resources into the street, to provide a pleasant surprise to a vagabond. Friends and families make demands on your resources that are prone to becoming excessive. Rather than telling them to pull up their boot straps, send them to the corner where you are, and cast your spare change.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Unfortunately, you are not exempt from the various sorts of chastisement that the heavens are offering to most of us this season. It’s wonderful that your outlook is bright, and hold onto that. By no fault of your own, you may find yourself laboring at getting out from under an astrological deadweight which can be physically debilitating. Make your progress through the season at your own comfortable pace.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): The stars do offer this promise, that you will still remain fabulous, while choosing a more carefully edited presentation of yourself while passing through this darker season. If you attract less attention to yourself, you may find it easier to achieve your goals unnoticed. Marie Antoinette and her husband almost got away, except they decided to drag along the kitchen sink and every other admin they could lay their hands on.
Libra (September 23-October 22): This might be a good season for you to focus on handiwork, or at least to concentrate on highlighting your particular talents and contributions to the lives of those surrounding you. While you might not be seeking acknowledgment or the approval of anyone, it is the steady dependable you that is being sought for, particularly for those of us who are not capable of manifesting this quality.
