December 2013 Horoscope

Monthly Horoscope December:

January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18

The fertility that The Empress brings to us is unmatched. She is the Queen of Mother Earth - Nature herself, able to create life and nurture it. She'll hold court over your love affairs for the month, so it's easy to see that you'll be very, very happy. All your current relationships will grow and prosper, and even the tiniest spark of attraction could turn into something lovely and long-lasting. Smile, and enjoy every moment together.

The Hanged Man in this position indicates that you've been feeling stuck, delayed, and overdue for the praise you deserve due to the quality of the job you've been doing. The good news is that you'll only have to deal with this for a month. Afterward, your superiors will see just how hard you've been working at your task. Basically, this card is asking you to have just a little more patience.

You've done nothing but listen to the advice of others for a very long time, but that's all about to come to an end. The Chariot absolutely demands that you find your own path to your destiny, and that you find the quickest and most direct route by your own means. You'll be guided along the way by signs and subtle messages from the events that happen around you. Pay attention to them.

February: Pisces February 19 - March 19

For the longest time, you seem to have been learning a lesson that's been not at all pleasant: you've been learning not to trust. Now, however, someone is due to enter your life who'll teach you not just to trust, but also to trust yourself again - to trust your intuition, even though you've tried, recently, to do just that, and it hasn't worked out too well. Give it another shot.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

We've all seen people we love pull back from us to spend time alone - to think things through and rely on their own counsel and instincts, rather than on that of anyone else's. It's time for you to do just that. Don't worry about losing your friends or those closest to you. After you've come up with your own answers to pressing questions, you'll be back, renewed and revitalized.

March: Aries March 20 - April 20

The words "If you loved me, you would," are quite powerful - even if you know they're being recited by someone who only wants you to buckle to their will. It's not just you, though. When any of us cares for someone, we want to make them happy. If we're involved with someone who's willing to play on our generosity and kindness, they'll see those traits as weaknesses, not strengths. Resist being exploited.

When The High Priestess appears, it's time to do the right thing in all areas of life. Keep your promises, obey the rules you've agreed to, and respect your elders, especially if they're in charge of your paycheck! You'll get exactly what you give out - and maybe even a bit more, really, with this powerful Lady on your side for the entire month. Just cross your t's and dot your i's.

The good news - no, the absolute best news you could possibly hear now - is that after all this time of searching for who you really are, you're about to "find yourself." Now, that may sound silly to others, but you know what it means. You've been trying over several months, if not longer, to find out who you really are, but recent events have proven to you that you already know!

April: Taurus April 21 - May 21

Whether you're single or attached, The Star's mission is to help you find someone with whom you'll be deliciously happy. More importantly, you'll also be able to trust this person or persons, which will make your life richer and happier. No matter what you've gone through in the past, or how many times you've been betrayed, look to the future. The Star is with you, so it's going to be a wonderful month.

When The World appears, you've received a very important indication that you've done the right thing, been in the right place at the right time, and chosen the right occupation. Of course, you'll already know all that, by the feelings you have, but also by the happiness and contentment you're already experiencing within your current occupation. If you're not satisfied, don't despair. Something you never expected will come along, when you least expect it.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

May: Gemini May 22 - June 21

Ready for a surprise? You'd better be! You'll soon find yourself attracted to someone you'd never, ever pictured yourself with. Does that mean it will last forever? When The Fool is in the picture, that really doesn't matter. What's important is that you take the new experiences that life tosses your way and have some fun with them! After all, isn't it time for you to let go and laugh?

The Magician represents skill, wisdom, and the ability to use those qualities to get what you want. This month, then, go after whatever it is that you know you deserve. You have a knack for something, and you love to do it. If you're already working in that field, you can expect all good things to come your way now - recognition, for starters. If you're still searching, don't be shy about it.

Lately, you've had the urge to get to know the person on the inside. With The Empress currently influencing your month, everything you've been craving can absolutely come to fruition. That's if you can keep up your energy level by taking care of yourself as you care for others. Simply put, eat well, tone down on excess, and rest whenever you can. Listen to your body and your spirit will grow stronger.

June: Cancer June 22 - July 22

Emotions are a funny thing. They can aid us, acting like "antennae" when we're uncertain about the outcome of a situation (in the intellectual sense), and end up guiding us toward the most positive outcome. On the other hand, they can sway us, that is, if we let our hearts rule our minds when we really know they shouldn't. The appearance of The Moon, however, means that it's your heart you should heed. Trust it above all else.

The appearance of the card of Judgement means that you're in the midst of making some very serious decisions, at least one which will involve what you want to do with the rest of your life. If you already have a career, then you'll likely spend the rest of the month tending to it carefully, much as a gardener tends to their garden. If you're still looking for your life's path, be prepared! It's about to be offered to you!

This card asks that you spend the next month working on one particular inner task: you must cut away anything in your life that makes you feel unsure about yourself, whether it's a personal relationship, a job that makes you unhappy or a lifestyle that no longer suits you. If a health issue has been nagging at you, seek out medical advice and solve this problem.

July: Leo: July 23 - August 23

Ever notice that the quality we most admire in movies - especially in the leading man or leading lady - is always perseverance? Well, that's another word for Strength, so when this card arrives in the department of love, you're being asked - no, actually, told - to hang in there, to never give up, and to let the person you care for know that you'll always be there for them.

When The World appears at this moment in time, you can righteously spend many a happy moment enjoying the fruits of your success - whether or not they've actually arrived. You know that what you've done is about to bring you rewards, so why wait? Plan the parties, send out the invitations, and be sure to stay in contact with the influential people who've already agreed to help you announce your name.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

August: Virgo August 24 - September 23

When the card of Death arrives, something is definitely coming to an end. The good news is that while most folks see this and fear that their life, or someone else's, is what's coming to an end, that's not at all what this card signifies. Contrary to popular opinion, what Death truly indicates is simply change. Granted, it will be a tremendous change - but change, after all, is what life is all about. Don't be scared. Be invigorated.

It's time for you to receive an offer than can bode nothing for you but the best - so why hesitate? Well, if you have a trusted friend who can look over the "fine print" for you, so much the better. If you're not quite sure, make sure - then enter into the enterprise with all good faith, positive that the end result will make you into a "star" yourself!

Remember having nightmares when you were little, and only being reassured by climbing into your parents' bed? Well, when this card turns up in this position, no matter what age you are, it indicates that you're feeling the same thing - but in "grown-up terms." Your mission now is to find someone or something that makes you feel safe. The thing is, it will only come from within. Dig deep!

September: Libra September 24 - October 23

Up until now, you may have thought that you've allowed yourself to be led along by whatever - or whomever - seemed to be "in charge" of you, and of the most important aspects of your love-life. A recent event, however, will prove to you that you aren't just a spectator - you're in charge of how it all turns out, and the result pertains most especially to how you deal with your partner.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

The Emperor doesn't take kindly to anyone who slacks off, becomes lazy or decides not to take responsibility for their own actions. If you do any of that now, this card's influence will bring the heavy hand of reality down upon you - there's no doubt about that. If you want to feel good about yourself this month, take care of what needs to be done, and don't procrastinate.

October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22

It's all too easy to talk someone into doing exactly what you want them to do when this card appears. It's a given that you'll get exactly what you want from them - you're quite powerful now. The question, however, is this: Do you want what you want so much that you're willing to lose your principles to have it? Think that over before you begin manipulating someone whose respect you really cherish.

No matter what you're assigned to do at work this month, when The Sun shows up in this position, there's no doubt that you'll enjoy it. You may enjoy it so much, in fact, that your self-confidence grows as much as your reputation for being able to do not just your own job, but that of at least two others. Your one warning: don't spoil your superiors, who'll come to expect nothing less than what you've been providing.

Every time the card of Temperance is mentioned, the word "moderation" is also referred to. They represent the same thing: a state of equilibrium and balance, a condition of harmony with all the people and events in your life. You have no wish to go overboard in any department, anyway. In fact, you're perfectly happy to cut back on anything at all that's not making you feel peaceful and calm.

November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21

It's all too easy to talk someone into doing exactly what you want them to do when this card appears. It's a given that you'll get exactly what you want from them - you're quite powerful now. The question, however, is this: Do you want what you want so much that you're willing to lose your principles to have it? Think that over before you begin manipulating someone whose respect you really cherish.

For the first time in a long while, it's suddenly become clear to you: what you really want to "do" with the rest of your life. So from now on, even if you need to clear away some things, and perhaps even some relationships that are dear to you, thanks to Justice, you'll now understand that it's time, and that whatever needs to be done is what you'll have the strength and courage to do.

The High Priestess bodes a time of inner consciousness, of looking inside ourselves to find the answers we seek, possibly by asking questions of others - and there's no reason to be ashamed of that. Listen to the advice that dear ones offer, but also pay attention to yourself - to your dreams, your feelings of déjà vu, and to the voice of your intuition. You have spirit guides and angels guiding you. Pay heed.

December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19

You'll soon find yourself attracted to someone you'd never, ever pictured yourself with. Does that mean it will last forever? When The Fool is in the picture that really doesn't matter. What's important is that you take the new experiences that life tosses your way and have some fun with them! After all, isn't it time for you to let go and laugh?

Your one warning: don't spoil your superiors, who'll come to expect nothing less than what you've been providing.

You've heard the expression, "It's All Good." Well, that's exactly what's on the agenda for you now, regardless of who you contact, what you ask for, or however you act. It just can't get any better, as long as you take the time to actually ask the Universe for what you want, and be specific. Then there's absolutely no way for you to fail. Put your aims forward with nothing but success in mind!
