For most of Sunday, the Cancer Moon shifts our senses into an especially temperamental state of being. It may be difficult to stop worrisome, redundant or unproductive moodiness. Guarded or territorial feelings are likely to put a damper on our ability to let go of the things we cling to due to insecurity or a lack of respect.
Waning Leo Moon (Monday and Tuesday) is a good time to work on letting go of personal fears and on showing bravery and courage to fight our own individual battles. This is an especially important time to work things out with personal needs. Carl Jung, the famous Swiss psychiatrist, wrote: "Wholeness is not achieved by cutting off a portion of one’s being, but by integration of the contraries." Sometimes the Leo Moon brings out our beastly side, and Dr. Jung made a very good point about the need to accept what’s there as a whole, and to integrate it in a way that balances out that nasty part of our character.
The Last Quarter Moon in Virgo on Thursday calls for the release of doubt. These are the days of Sun in Sagittarius projecting selfhood in an outward fashion in order to envision the demands of an expanding spirit. That same Sagittarian awareness is just as capable of traveling inward and perceiving the needs of the inner self. Let the doubts and fears of your life be flushed away at this time so that, through clarity, you may achieve the benefits of your visionary picture of health, wealth and wellbeing.

Free Weekly Horoscope for your Sign
Aries (19 March – 19 April) Element: Fire Planet: Mars Symbol: Ram Stone: Ruby
Aries: Don’t underestimate your power to get things done as Mars and Pluto continue their journey over the top of your chart. This basically inclines you toward success in your endeavors and the ability to emerge victorious from all your challenges. And when you’re not busy putting the world to rights, you might find your thoughts wandering to the question of why you are here and where you belong. Deep thoughts and philosophical musings are likely to be the order of the day, but instead of becoming too introspective which is very possible, cultivate an adventurous spirit, as you’re more likely to find your answers to life’s big questions while on a journey rather than in your armchair. Whether you’re going on a trip or simply taking the opportunity to have a day out or a meal at a restaurant that is new to you, the key is to push out of your comfort zone so that you can see things in a new way.
Taurus: There may be times this week when it feels as though the light has gone out of your world. As the Sun journeys through your deep, dark psychological basement, you’re likely to find your thoughts taking on a darker or more intense hue. This isn’t to be feared or resisted, since it’s only by digging deep within ourselves that we find our buried treasure. With a little bit of self-discipline and consistent effort, you will push through this week’s challenges and back out into the light. Remind yourself that if you wish to be a master of something, you must demand and expect the best from yourself.
Gemini (20 May – 20 June) Element: Air Ruling Planet: Mercury Symbol: Twins Stone: Aquamarine
Gemini: What deep, dark emotional states are you experiencing right now? As Mars and Pluto burrow deeper into your psychological zone, they seem to be unearthing some uncomfortable feelings that you’d probably prefer to ignore or get rid of. However, this would be a loss, since if you are prepared to face up to that which is most uncomfortable you will emerge transformed. There is a strong relationship theme right now, so it could be that other people are the apparent cause of your anger. Then there is your work and your health, both of which seem to be pulling on your thoughts. Perhaps a change is needed and with that change will come a lightening of the load. Don’t be afraid to confront your demons this week and to make any changes that will help you to move on.
Cancer (20 June – 22 July) Element: Water Planet: Moon Symbol: Crab Stone: Moonstone
Cancer: Compromise, forgiveness, tolerance and understanding are often necessary to help resolve difficulties with another person. Sometimes, though, there can be a positive side to engaging in a power struggle; the warriors in us are brought out as we refuse to be walked over or manipulated anymore. Power struggles can encourage us to be assertive – to stand up and fight for what we believe in. With Mars and Pluto in your zone of partnerships, it is highly likely that someone doesn’t see eye to eye with you right now. From domestic disputes to full scale legal battles and everything in between, this looks like a time of conflict, but you can learn from it. Be courageous if you need to stand up for yourself and your courage will be rewarded. If things don’t go your way, perhaps there is some karmic justice involved, so try to see the bigger picture. Be prepared for a fight, but also be prepared to concede if you are in the wrong.
Leo (22 July – 22 August) Element: Fire Planet: Sun Symbol: Lion Stone: Peridot
Leo: As the Sun glides through your house of fun, you are in a good position to enjoy the festive season. From parties and social gatherings to getting creative with the kids and decking the halls, joy, happiness and frivolity are all there if you don’t let yourself get sidetracked by more serious issues. There’s nothing you need to worry about that your inner voice can’t advise you on. You may be concerned about your health or a matter involving work, but if you pay attention to your inner voice, it will point the way forward. You may get a feeling that you need to focus on cleansing and clearing out, or your inner voice may tell you to change what you can and accept what you can’t. Trust your gut feelings and you won’t go far wrong.
Virgo: How much happier and more peaceful would you be if you could empty the contents of your mind, if you could let go of the constant stream of thoughts, worries, concerns, pressures and your internal list of things to do? Saturn’s recent arrival in your mental zone is asking you to become a master of your mind so the first thing to do is to make time each day for a meditation. You only need five minutes, but five minutes of quieting your mind will work wonders for the rest of your day. Secondly, you need to ask whether you want to entertain a negative thought when it pops up. If you don’t just thank it for its presence, tell it that you don’t need it and let it go. Our state of mind is the key to everything, from our happiness to the circumstances we create in our lives, so the more you can master what goes on in your head, the more your life will begin to reflect your inner peace and positivity.
Libra (22 September – 22 October) Element: Air Planet: Venus Symbol: Scales Stone: Opal
Libra: Having opinions or judgments about everything can be exhausting and quite often we’re not aware of the full picture anyway, making many of our judgments rather shaky to say the least. Be careful this week when it comes to being right. It may be tempting to cast judgment on a person or situation or to take the moral high ground, but this will only lead to an inner state of rigidity. Give your mind a break from all that thinking, weighing up and judging and go do something fun or creative instead. Or, since there’s a cluster of planets in your money zone, use your mental energy to visualize, plan and manifest more of what you need. There’s so much that you could do with constructive thought; don’t waste it on idle chatter, gossip and negative opinions.
Scorpio (22 October – 21 November) Element: Water Planet: Pluto Symbol: Scorpion Stone: Topaz
Scorpio: All good things come to those who wait. Remind yourself of this should you start to feel a sense of urgency. It might seem that things can’t happen fast enough, or you may feel driven by a need to get things done, but any frustrations and hold-ups could be a sign that now –for whatever reason –is not quite the right time. Switch your focus and go do something enjoyable to take your mind off things. Saturn will be in your sign for two and a half years, and over that time not only will he help you to make the necessary changes gradually and with lasting results, but he’ll also show you the benefits of a patient and persistent approach. You’ll be amazed in three years’ time by how much you’ve done and how much your life has changed, so there really is no need to rush, as you actually have much more time than you think you need.
Sagittarius (21 November – 21 December) Element: Fire Planet: Jupiter Symbol: Archer Stone: Turquoise
Sagittarius: Are you tired? Run down? In need of a rest? And do you feel like you’ve got to keep going because there’s so much to do? The planets can’t re-jiggle themselves so it’s up to you to try to make some time for yourself. At the very least, examine your diary for nonessential obligations that you can put off and try to be more organized with your shopping. Instead of flaking out in front of the TV, get an extra hour’s sleep that your body will thank you for. Try to incorporate five minutes of meditation into your day to calm your mind and give you a feeling of space. And if you’re lucky enough to have a decent amount of free time, the best use of it aside from resting would be devoting it to spiritual and creative pursuits. Engaging in creative activities that lift your soul is a sure fire way to raise your energy and enthusiasm.
Capricorn: With the powerhouse planets Mars and Pluto in your sign at the moment, there is very little you can’t do if you put your mind to it, so while all the other signs are running on empty trying to organize Christmas on top of their normal workloads, you will find that you have the energy and motivation to do everything you need and more. However, be selective in what you chose to take on; otherwise, you could end up feeling like you’re carrying too many burdens and while you’ll be able to deal with it all, it probably won’t feel like much fun. Use the powerful energies of Mars and Pluto to do what feels important to you, and remember to incorporate some light heartedness and social fun into your days. Balance is your keyword right now, so try to make this a feature of your days. Otherwise, life could start to feel very lopsided.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) Element: Air Planet: Uranus Symbol: Water Bearer Stone: Amethyst
Aquarius: Your key to a stress free month ahead is to adopt a playful attitude. Whether there are too many pressures on you or you are at the mercy of fear and anxiety or despondency, your current difficulties can be eased by becoming a little more carefree. So what if you don’t meet the deadline? It’s not the end of the world. Does it really matter if you don’t get what you were hoping for? Was it what you really wanted anyway? If you’re feeling upset, angry or irritable, perhaps a dose of comedy would help put things into perspective. It’s likely that someone or something will be rattling your cage this week, but you don’t have to rise to the bait. You could choose instead to be very conscious of every thought and feeling that arises and ask yourself whether you want to entertain these thoughts and feelings or if there’s a better use of your energy.
Pisces (18 February – 19 March) Element: Water Planet: Neptune Symbol: Fish Stone: Bloodstone
Pisces: Here we are in the month of December as the Sun in Sagittarius highlights your 10th room of work/job/career assisting you in seeing such more clearly. This is a time for you to see your place in the world without hesitation. Mercury moves direct in your 9th room of the mind and travel, providing you mental clarity about your life and direction. Watch out for deceit or treachery from other people, which could result in power struggles. People you thought were friends could prove to be anything but, although you may need to give someone the benefit of the doubt if it seems that he or she wasn’t acting with deliberate intent to harm. Sometimes we have to admit that other people will let us down and, instead of getting too upset about it, try to see it all as an opportunity for transformation, either within the relationship or within yourself.
