Horoscopes
Aries
The pace of the day can be a little chaotic, dear Aries. You have a stronger need for strategy in your life, but there is a tendency to rush things anyhow. If rushing makes you skip steps, try to slow down. Even so, tonight and tomorrow, you’re in a good position for smoothing over differences through small yet significant gestures. You can be quite eager to share an idea, ideal, or personal belief. There can be discussions about cooperation in relationships, and also about long-term plans, travel, education, beliefs, expansion, and love of knowledge. Looking at past subjects, relationships, or viewpoints in new ways can be stimulating.
Taurus
As much as you might want to bring up a specific topic today, dear Taurus, it may be premature to do so. Your powers of negotiation are good with the Moon in your partnership sector all day and your ruler, Venus, aligning with Mercury. There can be some disagreements to navigate today, however, but you’re in an excellent position to smooth over differences. In fact, you’re inclined to do a lot of analyzing, thinking, and talking about a personal or intimate matter later today, with this theme carrying over into tomorrow. If jealousies emerge today, use the experience as a lesson in self-awareness. Think things through if you are not getting your way and if your thoughts go into tricky territory.
Gemini
At times today, you can be too impatient for your own good, dear Gemini, and this can be particularly apparent in a partnership or with people on the job. You might rub people the wrong way with the appearance that you know better than everyone else, even if you don’t intend it (and even if you DO know better right now!). Later today and into tomorrow, however, you have all the tools you need to make sense of feelings and ideas and to reach agreements or at least get to a place of understanding. Resolutions are likely to be found for long-standing problems in relationships, and negotiations figure strongly. It’s a time for showing how fair you can be!
Cancer
There can be some tensions or conflicts today, dear Cancer, particularly if you’re juggling work and relationships or your work and social life are spilling over into each other. As well, you could have a hard time making a decision, possibly about a romance or creative pursuit. This is likely very temporary, and you can be entirely moved to sort out any conflicts or impatience experienced today as soon as tonight. Tonight and tomorrow, excellent energy is with you for making sense of your feelings, and perhaps also of a past problem as you see things in a new light. You can resolve many issues through brainstorming and analysis. People from your past can be on your brain, and in some cases, re-appearing in your life now.
Leo
There can be some disagreements, likely due to rushing and impatience, dear Leo, and you may be in the position of mediator. Others will be knocking at your door if you are demonstrating independence, but don’t expect to completely please them at the moment. By tonight and into tomorrow you have all the right tools for figuring things out and coming to a mutually beneficial agreement. You might also get to solve a mystery about a relationship that previously bothered you. Talks and thoughts tend to revolve around past romance, projects, and events, or an overdue conversation happens now. There can be nostalgia about past good times, exciting feelings, and other happy milestones. The monthly Moon-Jupiter conjunction occurs today and helps boost positivity, particularly in your home and personal life.
Virgo
Watch your temper today, dear Virgo. Frustrations may only be about small problems, and you’ve had more than your share of these recently, so things have been building up. Avoid pushing something that you can’t change, and allow for unexpected changes that are out of your control. Pressure releases as the day progresses, and you get into a favorable position to satisfy your needs for conversation, learning experiences, and personal contact, but you may want to keep things informal and avoid jumping to conclusions, as some facts can be missing or difficult to see. Do enjoy a new and fresh take on an old matter that’s likely to boost your spirits.
Libra
There can be some tense moments today, dear Libra, especially if you’re in a rush. In fact, you may feel that you’re in a hurry even if there isn’t an actual rush, so check in with yourself. Sometimes, you put pressure on yourself when it isn’t warranted. The desire to fill your needs for comfort can be strong but watch for excesses. Later today, sound energy is with you for making sense of a matter. This can be about discovering some missing puzzle pieces. While the complete picture is yet to come, it can still be satisfying. Be on the lookout for opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills set, as an opportunity that was missed or passed over in the past can re-emerge and it may be worth a closer look.
Scorpio
Anger or resentment that you have buried or brushed to the side can emerge now in unexpected ways, dear Scorpio, especially if you’re rushing or encountering one small problem after another. While the feelings can be confusing at first and you should deal with them, do not let them control you either. Avoid rushing things, particularly business and finance-related endeavors. As the day progresses, you get into an excellent frame of mind for hashing things out. Backtracking in thought and conversation can figure strongly now, and is likely to involve going over matters from the past that you’ve recently dug up, particularly surrounding love relationships and money. The Moon and Jupiter join in your sign today, helping boost you up and encouraging you to look at the bright side.
Sagittarius
The tendency for something to burn out nearly as quickly as it’s started runs very high right now, dear Sagittarius. Avoid over-exerting yourself today, and keep in mind that this applies to both physical and mental planes! Overdoing something now can prevent you from continuing it tomorrow, so take it easy. As well, be careful that you don’t attempt to force an issue or talk ahead of yourself — both strong possibilities with Mercury in your sign and Mars in the sign behind yours, forming a problematic aspect with one another. Speaking prematurely about your plans may not be wise right now! However, as the day progresses, we get closer to a Mercury-Venus alignment in Sagittarius, putting you in an excellent position to strike up an agreement or get into a fabulous frame of mind.
Capricorn
Today can be tricky if you fall prey to the idea that you need to rush a decision, dear Capricorn. Even if your feelings of being under pressure are happening because for legitimate reasons, you won’t do yourself or anyone favors if you push so hard that you can’t hear yourself think. Watch for speaking too quickly or too soon about a matter. Later today, further information surfaces about a private or past topic that gives you a refreshing new perspective. It’s true that you may not know the whole story just yet, but it feels good to fill in a few blanks.
Aquarius
Somebody, or people in general, can grate on your nerves today, dear Aquarius, perhaps due to impatience, brusqueness, or aggressiveness, or simply because you’re seeing the more unflattering side of people right now. Even so, differences of viewpoint aside, you are in a great position to smooth things out as the day advances. In fact, you can thoroughly enjoy the process with Mercury and Venus coming together. This energy continues into tomorrow and encourages you to see a frustrating problem in a brand new light. Conversations become quite lighthearted.
Pisces
Desires can come on suddenly today but are either not likely to last or don’t need to be filled as quickly as you imagine, dear Pisces. There is a sense that you have to rush, be first, or get something done right away, when this may not actually be necessary. Keep this in mind if something takes hold of you and you demand immediate results! Some uncertainty or unpredictability in others is likely to be experienced now, but don’t let their behavior faze you or prevent you from having a good day. While you may be taking things quite personally at times now, the day advances in a much smoother way, and you’re likely to thoroughly enjoy pleasant thoughts or conversations.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

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.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
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: BALSAMIC
Moon less than 45 degrees behind the Sun.
Time to tie up loose ends, review, reflect, let go, and edit.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on December 14th:
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).
