As the Moon enters Scorpio Sunday afternoon, inspiration and clarity of purpose allows for a smoother time of transactions between people. Scorpio Moon brings the need for warmth, acceptance and mental relaxation and spiritual healing will be especially effective with the Scorpio Moon trine Neptune in Pisces.
The New Moon in Sagittarius on Thursday inspires us to look at life in a whole new way. New Moon in Sag encourages us to start exercise programs, look into original philosophies, and to explore new territory in our lives. Sagittarius says, "I see," so vision and insight are the primary incentives to explore fresh ground. Look optimistically ahead and get in touch with an innovative vision for the coming year as we continue to navigate our hopes and dreams through this challenging close of the year 2012.
Since July 13, Uranus, known for stirring up calamity, has been retrograde, but as of Thursday, the planet of chaos and rebellion moves steadily forward awakening the pioneering spirit of humanity, perhaps even inspiring breakthroughs in courageousness, leadership and self motivation. The work of radical and revolutionary forces resumes course as Uranus moves direct until July 2013. As Uranus moves forward, the volatile quality of its work demands the utmost intelligence and knowledge as each level of urgency is unveiled. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius and teaches us to seek higher levels of intelligence through unusual, brilliant and open minded measures.
On Saturday, Venus enters Sagittarius until January 8. The planet of love and the expression of affection are enhanced by the inspired character of Sagittarius. Venus in Sagittarius brings out an inspired and optimistic spirit of camaraderie among people in general and the effort to take affections beyond the usual bounds is certainly present. The transits of Venus will put everyone in touch with the most powerful law in the universe –attraction, a gift to all of us for the coming holiday season.

Free Weekly Horoscope for your Sign
Aries (19 March – 19 April) Element: Fire Planet: Mars Symbol: Ram Stone: Ruby
Aries: It is hardly surprising if during the run up to Xmas you feel like you want to get away from it all. Perhaps you feel like you need a rest and some peace and quiet. Or you may be gripped by a desire for adventure or a need to do things differently this year –to experience a change of scene. This desire to escape may be increased if you feel unsure about a decision you need to make or a change that you know needs to happen, but here’s a little reminder – real changes start within. The New Moon is the beginning of that inner change.
Taurus: This week’s New Moon offers you an opportunity for change and transformation. It may feel as though a part of you is dying. If so, let it go. Grieve if you feel you need to, but remind yourself that out of the loss new life will emerge. Do not rush the process; instead, take things one step at a time and be willing to embrace the change that’s presenting itself to you. This process of transformation does not need to be as intense as presented here. It is just that Taureans have a natural tendency to resist change, preferring instead to stick with what they know. If you can greet your changes with enthusiasm, knowing that you’re moving into an exciting new phase of life, then events this week do not need to be difficult.
Gemini (20 May – 20 June) Element: Air Ruling Planet: Mercury Symbol: Twins Stone: Aquamarine
Gemini: Do you need to compromise or do you need to be more of a rebel? This is the question for this week as the New Moon highlights the relationship area of your chart, bringing into focus difficult areas and the opportunity for change and new beginnings. If you feel that you’re being taken for a ride, then now is the time to assert yourself and demand more of what you want. If there’s a relationship that would benefit from a little bit of compromise, then this is a good time to try to meet the other party halfway. We can’t change others; we can only change ourselves, so instead of trying to get people to be how you want them to be, try allowing them to just be themselves and loving them for who they are. Whatever the current state of your relationships, they can all benefit from this week’s refreshing energies of the New Moon. Maybe it is time to turn over a new leaf.
Cancer (20 June – 22 July) Element: Water Planet: Moon Symbol: Crab Stone: Moonstone
Cancer: This week’s New Moon in your daily life zone suggests you have an opportunity to get your affairs in order. It could be time to turn over a new leaf in terms of how you operate, from making changes with your diet and lifestyle to adopting a new approach with your work. It looks like you’re ready for productive changes, so try to put any grievances behind you and don’t ruminate over any lost battles. It looks as though whatever challenges you faced recently are going to enable you to start afresh, so don’t look back, but focus on what you would like to manifest in your life. There is a creative feel to your chart right now, and by remembering that you are the creator of your life, you can begin to become more empowered.
Leo (22 July – 22 August) Element: Fire Planet: Sun Symbol: Lion Stone: Peridot
Leo: As the New Moon highlights the fun and games area of your chart, it is time to think how you can be more creative and share that creativity with the world at large. Of course, creativity isn’t just about painting pictures, writing stories and making music; it’s also about creating a business or having ideas and acting on them. You can be creative while cooking, gardening, decorating, wrapping presents or packing a child’s lunch box. There are endless ways to be creative, and this is the rather pleasant challenge that the planets are offering you now. They are also urging you to connect more with others, ideally by finding your kindred spirits. This may mean making one or two changes –perhaps joining a club or enrolling in a course, as you never know who you might meet and where that connection might lead you.
Virgo: The focus this week is on your home and family and the possibilities that the New Moon brings to this area of your life. Perhaps you have cause for celebration. At the very least, this New Moon bodes well for positive developments and new beginnings where your home life is concerned, so whether there’s a new addition, a move, or some other happy development, look for the possibility that any change brings and celebrate it. At a deeper level, this New Moon speaks of deep inner changes that will enable you to build better foundations, leading to greater success in the outside world.
Libra (22 September – 22 October) Element: Air Planet: Venus Symbol: Scales Stone: Opal
Libra: Do you really need to be this busy? Is everything you have to do really that essential? Isn’t Christmas supposed to be a magical experience full of warmth, good cheer and generosity? Maybe you just need to alter your perceptions a little and then the stress will dissolve. The New Moon on Thursday is your opportunity to see things differently and wake yourself up from an illusion. If you think you’re stuck, maybe it’s your thinking that’s stuck. If you’re in a restrictive situation, maybe you need to switch mental gears and look for a positive solution. When life gives you lemons, you can either complain or start making some lemonade. By looking for creative solutions to challenges, your problems magically turn into opportunities, so question what you’re doing and see if a different approach might work. December 13 is a good day to set yourself the challenge of thinking only positive or constructive thoughts. It’s also the perfect day to visualize what you want, as your mental powers will be much stronger than normal. Be careful what you wish for –you just might get it!
Scorpio (22 October – 21 November) Element: Water Planet: Pluto Symbol: Scorpion Stone: Topaz
Scorpio: This week’s New Moon on Thursday is a good omen as far as your finances are concerned. Whether you need an extra boost or to turn over a new leaf with financial matters, your material life is ripe for positive development. Also included in your material life is your work and your physical health, so these are areas that will also benefit from a little positive thought under the New Moon. Perhaps you have neglected your body in recent times; it’s easy to take it for granted while it’s working efficiently, so now is a good time to remind yourself that it’s better to prevent than cure. Adequate rest, good nutrition, enjoyable exercise and a little care and attention will go a long way to keeping you fit and well.
Sagittarius (21 November – 21 December) Element: Fire Planet: Jupiter Symbol: Archer Stone: Turquoise
Sagittarius: Despite the New Moon and Mercury in your sign that will help to increase your energy, it still appears as though you’re in need of a rest. Perhaps you’re fed up with being so busy all the time. Maybe there are just too many demands on your time. Perhaps you’re harboring fantasies of running away from it all. Many Sagittarians may currently be suffering from insomnia or a need to have more or better sleep. If you can’t find the time to reconnect with your soul and engage in meaningful pursuits, you may enter a dark night of the soul in which life loses its meaning. If any of this applies to you, you can restore your sanity and improve your quality of sleep by spending a little time in nature. The natural world has a very soothing, grounding effect on us, so instead of spending all your time rushing about, take an hour to go for a walk. Make time to be alone where you can converse with higher beings or the wise part of yourself. Look to December 13, the New Moon, as your own personal new beginning and use the energies of this day to help you focus on what you want. While you may currently be under pressure to work, earn, buy, wrap, and organize, your soul is calling you toward more meaningful activities which may mean writing in a journal, observing your dreams, spending time with people you love or engaging in fun activities that you really enjoy.
Capricorn: The New Moon on Thursday is your cue to touch base with your soul and rediscover some hidden joys and nourishing comforts. Maybe you would benefit from some solitude or quiet contemplation. Perhaps now would be a good time to communicate with higher beings or to deepen your connection to the divine. This is especially important if you are experiencing an ending of some sort. Perhaps it’s time to walk away from a situation that feels dead, or perhaps something has reached a natural end. Although you still have the power and the strength to cope with just about anything –courtesy of Mars and Pluto –there are some areas in which no matter how hard we try or how much force we apply, the situation is out of our hands and we are powerless to effect the outcome we would like. This New Moon in your house of closure may be about letting go and surrendering. Accept that which you cannot change and reassure yourself that new beginnings will soon emerge from the ashes of whatever is ending.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) Element: Air Planet: Uranus Symbol: Water Bearer Stone: Amethyst
Aquarius: This week’s New Moon is good news if you’re hoping to manifest a new vision or to move forward in your life. It could be related to your vocation or it could simply be a sense of forward movement on a wider scale as life begins to open up and possibilities emerge. Use the positive energy of this New Moon to focus on the new vision that you wish to create. Be clear in your mind about where you are going and what you would like your life to look like six to twelve months down the line. All things are open to you. In fact, you’re in a position now where you can manifest anything that feels important to you. Try writing down your desires in the form of a "new moon wish list" or get creative and express them through imagery. Have fun with it and enjoy the feeling of being an artist of your life.
Pisces (18 February – 19 March) Element: Water Planet: Neptune Symbol: Fish Stone: Bloodstone
Pisces: This week’s New Moon brings good news for your vocational aspirations and any projects that you want to get going. Take a moment on December 13 to focus on how you would like to move forward, particularly with your aims and ambitions. Visualize them coming to fruition. This New Moon has the potential for change so long as you can challenge your normal way of thinking. Perhaps it’s time to think outside the box or to not be afraid to do things differently. Challenge any negative thoughts or beliefs that say you can’t or shouldn’t because once you believe that anything is possible, any stuck situations will begin to change.
