Horoscope

December 29, 2011 - January 4, 2012

Heavenly Roundup: You may already be a contender. You may not recognize the battle in which you’re engaged, but it exists nonetheless. Can you make your victory other than Pyrrhic? It will take planning and clever counsel to get you to your optimal outcome. Don’t rush in where angels fear to tread unless you have a Plan B in your back pocket. Just before the revelries get underway, you’ll have a flash of insight allowing you to solve an old personal mystery. Are you brave enough to act?

Aries: Time and tide are on your side. You have the odds with you and the Force as well. Will you use your ascendency for good? Is it possible to bring peace to both sides with honor still intact? Avoid the hassle, increase the options and stay in motion through Sunday.

Taurus: You’re one of a kind, and the kind is good. You’re the pick of the bunch and the bunch is healthy. You’re on top of the world, and you’ve got your balance as you walk the rolling globe toward your desired outcome. Allow your dreams to manifest freely.

Gemini: This is definitely the end of much you held dear and cherished long. This is necessarily the beginning of a great adventure. You’ll have to step out of your comfort zone to get to where the air is clear enough to give you a view of your full potential. Walk.

Cancer: Are you a person or a mouse? There are advantages to both. But you’ll go farther and achieve more if you stand on your two legs and let yourself be counted. Compassion is an unusual way to win conflict, but it’s worked for folks in the past, and it can work for you.

Leo: Is it time to do more with what you already have? Is it time to wrap up what doesn’t work and focus on what has verifiable success written all over it in fat marker? Is it time to shape the future to meet your needs rather than the other way around? You betcha!

Virgo: Simplicity has its virtues. You could do a lot with a modicum of desire to make your life less complex and more comfy. Have you got the juice to hold still long enough to take a personal inventory before proceeding? You’ll learn surprising things.

Libra: You never expected it would be easy. But you didn’t know how hard a road you might have chosen to travel when you set out. You’re farther than you know, but you’ll need perspective and quiet to recognize your progress. Put some time aside for you.

Scorpio: Filling in the blanks is easy. Righting what’s wrong is easy. Telling others their business is easy. Cleaning out your own emotional closets is so far down your list of chosen activities the barometer doesn’t function well down there. Can you change?

Sagittarius: You may already be a winner. But you’ll need to identify what game you’ve been playing if you want to figure out what you’ve won. You may even have to stop playing the game to collect the prize. Can you control yourself? Is it worth it to you?

Capricorn: Your prayers are answered. Your heart is filled. Your life is stretching rich and colorful before you, like the proverbial red carpet. Can you accept success? Can you walk the carpet like you own it? Sometimes dreams do come true. Enjoy your cup running over.

Aquarius: First, last and always comes the truth. You love the truth as you love to breathe — almost unknowingly. Can you see that even ”truth” comes in different flavors, and some depend upon the eye of the beholder? Cut your partner some slack Monday.

Pisces: You like the talk. You know the vocabulary. You’re in a groove with the underlying sentiment. Are you ready to take up your burden and walk the walk? If so, you’ll want a supportive pair of shoes and circle of cronies alike. Call in all your favors to get what you need.

Horoscope

December 15-21, 2011

Heavenly Round-Up: You can’t help it: You’re looking ahead even as the past tugs at your shirttails. You’re focused on the yet-to-be – though that which has already passed demands your full attention, and a string of time you haven’t got anymore. How can you mediate between where you’ve been and where you want to go? How can you develop that which you hope to become in light of the baggage behind you, yet part of you? How can you not understand that the present is the key? Reflect steadily.

Aries: In the once upon a time of your own life, there’s a story you’ve told yourself again and again. Is it time to give the story a new ending? Does it need a fresh middle? Could it do with a different beginning? You’re in a position to choose. Don’t delay, make your change.

Taurus: What if you had the power to control how you earned, what you liked, where you lived and whether you were happy? What if you’re getting to be the last one to know that you have those capabilities? What if you gave up on struggling and went with determination?

Gemini: You still can, if you really want to. It’s a thing onto which you have been holding for so long, you may not remember clearly what it looks like, or what it can really do, or why you collected it in the first place. Are you brave enough to look? Can you change your mind?

Cancer: You don’t so much walk on the wild side as scuttle along the sidelines avidly observing. Can you let go of your binky long enough to find out what it would be like to shed your security and let life lead you by the hand? Dine out with an old crony on Friday to find out more.

Leo: Lift up your eyes to the hills. You will find solace in their majesty. Stare into the depths of the desert. There you will see peace in the struggle for existence. Drift into reverie as you gaze into the ocean. The message there is the timelessness of all passion and action.

Virgo: If it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth your consideration. If it were simple, you wouldn’t find yourself engaged in the process. If it were quick, it would be over before you had begun to internalize the meaning of the cycle. You demand more; you receive more. Rejoice.

Libra: You can’t let it go. You can’t put it behind you. You can’t say you won’t. Now that you’ve got your ultimate out of the way, are you ready to see what can be done? Are you ready to find out how you can grow? Are you ready to allow yourself to get out of whack to become real?

Scorpio: You’re so busy not compromising that you may be leaving the good things out with the less than perfect. Is this really what you want? Is this the best you can do for yourself? You have the capability to do and become so much more. Revisit your objectives Monday.

Sagittarius: Well, there’s the devil over there. And that way lays the deep blue sea. You’re riding toward them, bouncing around between the disagreeable horns of a wild, half-broken dilemma. Couldn’t you find yourself a more pleasant mode of transportation? Release obligation.

Capricorn: You’re as good as it gets when the chips fall where they may. Don’t let anyone tell you differently – it would be an insult to their understanding and your comprehension. You may have to restring the entirety of the project at hand, but you have the vision to do it.

Aquarius: You would if you could, but you’re not sure you ought to allow yourself to go as far as all that. This is more laudable than it is sensible. Plug your brain back in, you won’t get far without it operating at full capacity. Ask a Scorpio for the hard, cold truth.

Pisces: Whether it was what you intended or not, you’re on a kind of a roll. In fact, you’re gathering momentum, though it seems to be carrying you faster and faster up hill. Is this a miracle? Is this the power of individuation? You have more juice than you’d imagined.

Horoscope

December 8-14, 2011

Heavenly Round-Up: Are you on a tightrope or in free fall? Is this a rerun or an original version of your life? Could anyone find their way through the maze you’ve built for yourself? Your heart of glass is refracting a fun house full of angles and distortions on the emotional front, but you’ve still got more energy than you’re used to and a more proactive view of the future than you can remember having ever had. Balance your desire for progress with respect for self-maintenance priorities.

Aries: You’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel and are tempted to turn around and start making hand-shadows. You’re more whimsically motivated than usual, though you’re still devoted to bringing your fantasy into functional reality. You can’t go wrong with grey.

Taurus: You don’t have to look over your shoulder anymore. You’re finally ready to disentangle the little snarl that has been tying unexpectedly large chunks of your life in knots. You have a clarity of purpose and a fresh determination to set the truth into record.

Gemini: If it weren’t for the wild wobble of your luck lately, you might be further along. But you would also have missed out on a number of opportunities that only travel by crooked and backtracking paths. You’re moving with a newfound grace toward a profound change.

Cancer: Looking around, you find you’re the only one wearing a mask at the party. Nope, that’s just the dream. But you’ve been toying with getting a whole new you for a while, and you’ve been learning all you can to make yourself over in your own true image.

Leo: Spinning toward the dark of the year like a ballet dancer in his prime, you find you love the shifting view even as you deplore the necessity of instability. It’s a conundrum, like real life usually is. You won’t have to be in so much motion for much longer. Hold on.

Virgo: What you believe in and what you do have everything to do with your choice of where and how you work. Now more than ever, you want to evaluate how to link your paycheck to building the community you would most like to enjoy as your own. Refine.

Libra: Like a virgin? Some things are surprisingly new in this upcoming cycle. There’s the clumsiness of beginner’s enthusiasm, but there’s also the curiosity of the newbie. You’ve got both, and you need someone against whom you can bounce your ideas for soundness.

Scorpio: It’s a new and different way to manage your conduct. It’s a demand to see reality served with utter wholeheartedness. It’s a call to bring what lurked in the depths up into the light to be purified and made useful. Don’t forget to work in holiday shopping — on budget.

Sagittarius: Peace in your time? Peace with honor? Watch it. You really aren’t buying anything you want with that currency. Appeasement never works. You need to renegotiate and reframe your objectives if you’re really open to getting what you want without conceding.

Capricorn: You’re warm with the joy of a chance to give fully and freely. You’re ready to put your resources where your heart is. You’re lit with the drive to make your life into the place you want to live for the rest of your life. Experiment with taupe and celadon.

Aquarius: Sing as you go, under your breath. Sing out loud whenever you’re alone. Sing to stir up the limbic juices. So much the better if you can add some dance moves to the singing. Build your immune system using these techniques as your personal yoga.

Pisces: You didn’t walk on water; you skated on thin ice. You didn’t look where you were leaping, though you landed on your feet. You didn’t handle the flow of time well, but you can still go the distance. So pick yourself up and get going. Wear silver for serenity.
