Aquarius
Jan 20—Feb 18
(Jan 20—Feb 18)
A Jupiter-Pluto opposition turns Aquarians into the stars of their own Law and Order series. The truth will be hard to come by until May 2014, until then don’t hesitate to question anything (or anyone) that seems suspicious.
Aries
March 21—April 19
(March 21—April 19)
Some consider Uranus’ seven-year reign to be a curse, but Aries needs this harbinger of change. Trusting rams are awful at saying no—but let that bleat be heard on the 18th when a friend tries to place blame on an innocent flock.
Cancer
June 21—July 22
(June 21—July 22)
The sappy moon turned Cancers into walking Hallmark cards in 2013, and things get extra emotional in December. Confronting difficult feelings head-on is tough, but the incredible clarity that comes afterwards is well worth it.
Capricorn
Dec 22—Jan 19
(December 22—January 19)
On the 24th, Mercury serves up the platter of clarity that scatterbrained Capricorns have hungered for. This newfound focus ushers in a better work/life balance and kicks a looming meltdown to the curb.
Gemini
May 21—June 20
(May 21—June 20)
Blessed with an ability to see both sides of a story, the twin sign can often spot a two-faced person. The exception? When temptress Venus clouds that perfect vision. Flirtations in December and January are not as innocent as they appear.
Leo
July 23—Aug 22
(July 23—Aug 22)
Retrograde Venus (December 21st-January 31st) is when relationships flourish. Single? Get that majestic mane out there! Attached? Rekindle that flame! Just avoid big spending during these blissed-out weeks, financial undertakings can go awry.
Libra
Sept 23—Oct 22
(Sep 23—Oct 22)
Mars turns most signs into astrological maracas and it really gets a kick out of rattling security-minded Libras on the 7th. Keep those scales balanced while everyone else topples under pressure. That stoicism will be duly noted…and rewarded.
Pices
Feb 19—March 20
(Feb 19—March 20)
December won’t afford much time for socializing, but January 16th’s “Wolf” moon reminds Pisces to rejoin their packs. The selfless fish sign can have a tendency to take on the crushing burdens of the entire family, allow friends to lighten that weight.
Sagittarius
Nov 22—Dec 21
(Nov 22—Dec 21)
The new moon on the 2nd is like the Facebook of the cosmos; always delivering a mix of news whether it’s been requested or not. Archers crave escape in troubled times, but must stay present when given unexpected news about a friend.
Scorpio
Oct 23—Nov 21
(Oct 23—Nov 21)
Though December’s full “Cold” moon sounds ominous, it helps judgmental Scorpios warm to a new presence on the 17th. This emotional thaw is necessary, don’t fight the moonlight (or a LeAnn Rimes song reference).
Taurus
April 20—May 20
(April 20—May 20)
Jupiter, the planet of luck, took a liking to bulls in 2013. That astrological jackpot can continue, should Taurans choose to accept the trade-off: Paying it forward. If squandered, fortune will vanish entirely…if that happens, good luck buying anything in the china shop.
Virgo
Aug 23—Sept 22
(Aug 23—Sep 22)
Nights are longest in December—all the better to see the full “Cold” moon on the 17th. Critical Virgos should look to the sky and then drop a long-held grudge, lest they grow similarly frigid. The New Year has much to offer. Greet it with a warm heart.
