Horoscopes
Aries
Your vision is much broader right now, dear Aries, and by extension, there is more joy in your life. While there are more small problems in your life than usual, you remain positive and optimistic. Today is strong for thinking outside the box, communications, travel, projects revolving around technology and new thought topics, and for work. Surprises are pleasant. While you can have some great ideas today, your emotional fuse can be a little short. You can swing from confidence to doubt quickly in the first half of the day, and then regain your mental footing as the day advances. Today and the next four days are powerful for new ideas or methods.
Taurus
You may be feeling a push towards letting go of the past, dear Taurus, as there can be some personal regrets about how you have handled certain past situations. The possibility that secrets might come to light can feel uncomfortable, but if they do, meeting the issue with confidence will help you and others realize that life is indeed moving forward. A partner or love interest’s behavior can be confusing today. There can be mixed signals, in general, in the first half of the day, after which you see the positive side of a situation, most notably a financial or intimate one.
Gemini
You could be dealing with some guilt today, dear Gemini, and if you can’t pinpoint it, it could undermine your decisions or leave you on a fence about a relationship, reputation, or career matter. It’s probably better to stay on the fence until your head clears and you feel more confident in yourself. While good ideas are likely, you could be questioning yourself about them shortly after you make them! Don’t ignore the ideas, however, as they are likely to have merit. Focus on freeing yourself from unnecessary burdens, especially since good energy is with you for doing so today. The second half of the day plays very much in your favor. Conversations are lighter and freer.
Cancer
The first half of the day requires adjustments. Decisions about work or health can be challenging to make these days, dear Cancer, and the ups and downs of decision-making seem to be peaking this morning. The temptation to veer away from a path on the level of diet or health can also be strong if you don’t deal with the real problem behind your restlessness. Besides this, however, your mood is forward-looking, and if you can manage to focus your energies on something fun rather than routine, you can enjoy yourself. You are bringing fresh ideas to your work and your daily life, and overthinking things will only serve to bring you down. There can be light, happy conversations occurring later today, or a seriously improved mood.
Leo
While your ideas are especially progressive and very good right now, dear Leo, wait for a better day to put a plan into action, as the mood can change quickly from confident and eager to doubting and indecisive. These ups and downs on a mental plane may eventually get you to a better position of understanding. The first half of the day lacks clarity, but as the day advances, you find it easier to focus on those things that fill you with joy and optimism. A conversation can be inspiring. The next few days are powerful for new interests and insights.
Virgo
You can swing between feeling utterly indecisive to acting upon impulse today, dear Virgo. Sometimes we need to swing from one extreme to the other to arrive at a good place. Aim to reach that point of moderation today and watch for taking on too many new projects, especially around the home, as you’re likely to feel their weight sooner than later. It’s a fine day for letting petty matters go and focusing instead on more spiritual or emotional issues. Your capacity for compassion is enhanced right now, and your intuition heightens. Allow yourself extra time for rest and don’t fret too much over deadlines or schedules. As the day advances, your head is clearer, or you’re determined to think about things that make you feel confident and happy. Get in touch with others and share your peaceful mood.
Libra
You may feel eager to share your ideas with others now, and you’re having a harder time with monotonous tasks and tedium than usual, dear Libra. As a result, you may be pushing boundaries just a little in your conversations. Watch for going a little too far with this. Choose your words carefully, but avoid explaining yourself to people who are being narrow-minded. The second half of the day is less emotionally clogged. You attract others who bring change to your life right now. The Moon remains in our privacy sector all day and will enter your sign first thing tomorrow. Think about ways to start the new lunar month off right.
Scorpio
This can be a time for learning more to earn more, dear Scorpio, and the information you receive can be beneficial. Unexpected developments at or with work can figure strongly now, and your intuition is excellent regarding work methods, health matters, and finances. Even so, you may very well swing from confident about your ideas and conversations to second-guessing things. If you feel a little bored with current circumstances, you might end up saying something provocative to get things going. The second half of the day rolls out more smoothly. The tendency now and this week is to review recent decisions and past relationships and arrive at new and improved ways of looking at them.
Sagittarius
There can be some indecision in the first half of the day, dear Sagittarius. You may be feeling unsupported or, perhaps more so, unacknowledged. Part of you feels freer and more courageous about expressing yourself in unique and spirited ways, but part of you feels regretful shortly after pouring your heart out! While you could be feeling strong with a friend or partner, something might plant some seeds of doubt later on. Avoid jumping to conclusions. As the day advances, you’re far less inclined to second-guess things or allow insecurities to mess with your head. In fact, this is a time for pleasant thoughts, ideas, and connections.
Capricorn
You’re inclined to want to try something new on a mental plane today, dear Capricorn, and coming up with new ideas seems easier and more organic than usual. Part of you is quick to reject them now, but take notes, as you are likely to return to them later — quite successfully, at that! As the day advances, you’re freer of insecurities, and your focus is forward-looking. Today and the coming few days are keen for a sense that you are making significant changes in your attitude. You’re making sense of situations that previously baffled you or even had the power to weigh you down.
Aquarius
You are magnetic today, particularly in your communications, dear Aquarius. Good ideas are flowing freely around you, and primarily through friends and associates. There can be an excellent feeling of being in sync with friends and a love interest. However, you may be dealing with an issue of trust early today, and even if it’s a small one, which is likely, it can be disconcerting. The chances are high that misunderstandings and over-sensitivity are behind this, so give it time before taking it to heart.
Pisces
Your tastes are unusual and exotic today, dear Pisces, and you can find yourself impulsively following your desires. One-on-one relations can be a little tricky early today. Just when you think you’re moving forward, something happens (likely due to insecurity) that sets you back. However, these stops and starts can eventually get you somewhere good, so be patient. The day rounds out nicely as it advances. Today and the next few days are quite excellent for thinking related to long-term goals, life path directions, and career. Be open to new ideas as well as new ways of looking at old problems.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 10th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).

THE MOON IN VIRGO
We have an emotional need for order with the Moon in Virgo. Diet, nutrition, health matters, work, and routines are in stronger focus. If we’re feeling out of sorts emotionally, we might also experience symptoms on a physical level now.
