Following is a general overview of how the
planetary trends for December/January 2012 apply to each sun sign.
If you know your rising
sign (Ascendant), read that, too,
for additional insights.
Aries (March
20—April 19)
December promises to be particularly busy, as you
find yourself in the midst of one of the most stimulating and expansive
periods you’ve experienced for quite some time. You may have more
work on your plate than you care to handle, not that you’re
complaining though, as you may be glad of some extra money with the
Holidays approaching. Indeed, your finances are poised to improve
considerably before this forecast period is over, as lucky Jupiter
turns direct on Christmas Day (25th) in your solar second house of
personal income, where it will remain till mid June. New career
possibilities could materialize during January that may completely
transform your prospects for the future, prompting you to set lofty new
goals for yourself. Just make sure that your ambitions are practical,
and that you do not dissipate any financial gains you may have already
made unnecessarily in pursuit of your latest quest.
Taurus (April
19—May 20)
You’re ready to get your life back on track
and moving forward, after a protracted period of change and
instability. While the process of personal transformation will continue
for quite some time, during which your outlook on life and your
philosophies are considerably broadened, you feel more in control of
your destiny than at any time you can recall, and keen to make bold new
plans for the future. You’re keen to make the Holidays a happy
and joyful time for your family, and yet there may be a sense of
tension in the background that may leave something more to be desired,
despite the festivities. However, this feeling will quickly pass, with
lucky Jupiter turning direct on Christmas Day (25th), conjunct your
solar ascendant. As 2012 arrives and gathers momentum, you’re
filled with hope and optimism, and ready to take on whatever challenges
may lie before you.
Gemini (May
20—June 21)
Your home base is a hive of activity these days,
and a likely focal point for many of your current ventures. Those you
regularly interact with seem to be many and varied these days. The
diversity of input you receive may be both stimulating and, at times,
overwhelming. And yet it is your colleagues, associates, and the
significant others in your life from whom you receive the most
inspiration and thoughtful feedback these days. Your emotional world is
also highly active now, with Mars holding court in your solar fourth
house through early July, stirring up feelings about your family, your
past, and your own deepest needs with what appears like alarming
frequency. The rhyme and reason behind this process is that it is time
to release whatever burdensome baggage you still carry that now serves
only to hinder your progress in life. It’s time to lighten your
load!
Cancer (June
21—July 22)
The challenges you’ve been experiencing in
regard to home and family matters have brought opportunities to closely
examine and to heal some old wounds from the past that continue to
haunt you even now. You are forming new philosophies about what your
freedom and self determination mean to you, particularly in regard to
your career direction, and how to balance and reconcile this with your
obligations and responsibilities to your family. Fear not, for a
breakthrough is coming, one that will have you enthusiastically setting
bold new goals for the future in 2012. It might also be possible to
take a significant relationship to a whole new level, bringing you much
joy, happiness and satisfaction.
Leo (July
22—Aug 22)
There’s an abundance of creative impetus to
tap into as the Holidays approach, when the more ambitious members of
your sign will be keen to add to their income. However, the impulse to
have fun with friends will also be strong, and with some astute
planning you should be able to accomplish everything on your "to
do" list, including your holiday shopping. Where work is
concerned, you may find that your services are much in demand, with the
possibility of an important and lucrative new assignment. Indeed,
advances in your career may be in store early in 2012, so be alert to
the opportunity should it come knocking. Be sure to appear professional
and on top of your game, and banish any hesitation or fears about your
competency. With lucky Jupiter in your solar tenth house of worldly
success through early July, your prospects for the future look bright.
Virgo (Aug
22—Sept 22)
A new and expansive cycle of growth and
development is underway that will positively impact your domestic
situation in the coming weeks. You are more in touch with your deepest
needs and what it takes for you to feel emotionally fulfilled these
days, which will influence some key decisions that it may now be time
to make. Ambitious Virgo natives will be keen to move forward with some
personal projects or aspirations now, and may form creative alliances
with individuals that can help you in your quest. The Holiday season
could be especially enjoyable, filling you with hope and optimism for
2012. You are inspired and prepared to make a sustained effort to
expand your horizons, sensing unlimited possibilities before you.
Libra (Sept
22—Oct 22)
Information or news you receive in early December
could lift your spirits and put your mind at ease. Perhaps a
confirmation that something you had feared may not now come to pass, or
a personal challenge is overcome. Your subconscious mind has been
working overtime for several weeks, but now you feel more inspired to
apply your inner resources in more creative, practical ways. Indeed, it
may also be possible to eliminate a few skeletons from your emotional
closet in the weeks and months ahead, as you discover hidden depths to
your psyche that you had not previously plumbed. Your dreams might be
more frequent and colorful these days, and may inspire constructive
action towards a cherished goal or objective in 2012. Make time to play
and have some fun with friends, as it’s possible that you may
learn of a new work opportunity through networking or by participating
in a social function.
Scorpio (Oct
22—Nov 21)
You are in hot pursuit of a goal or key objective
in December that, you feel, could unlock the door to a bright new
future. And it's likely that the acquisition of adequate financial
resources is fueling the fire of desire in your belly. You're certainly
not short of creative ideas and novel notions to inspire you in your
quest, so be sure to make note of your thoughtful musings so that you
can later mine them for valuable gems. You have lofty ambitions and
professional aspirations that you know you are capable of attaining,
and there may well be influential individuals or social connections
that could be most helpful to you if you were to approach them. Don't
allow fears or doubts about your capabilities to undermine your
self-confidence. Indeed, you can make great strides forward in your
life in 2012 by reinforcing your faith, and self-belief.
Sagittarius (Nov
21—Dec 21)
You are pumped up and energized to pursue a
coveted personal or career objective and determined to have things your
way. You may feel like you've already waited long enough to see a
highly valued ambition become a reality, and now it's time for
affirmative action. Even the Holidays can take a back seat if it means
spending more time in furthering your quest, particularly where the
acquisition of necessary resources or additional money is concerned.
Indeed, it may be possible now, and in early 2012, to substantially
increase your cash flow. And you won't be shy about asking for what you
want or feel you're worth. Just be sure that you can honor any promises
you make.
Capricorn (Dec
21—Jan 20)
It may be possible now to finally begin to check
off some items that may have long been on your priority wish list and
make at least one of your dreams come true. Now, you feel, you can move
forward with a coveted personal ambition, and that your patience and
persistence is soon to be rewarded. It may not be easy for you to ask
for help, references, or to call in favors, but if it means that you
can expedite your progress by doing so you will do it now. However,
that may not be a necessary recourse, as you have the ability to almost
magically attract exactly what you need with little effort on your
part, by simply being yourself—composed, confident, and
self-assured.
Aquarius (Jan
20—Feb 18)
In early December, many progressive Aquarius
natives will be making ambitious new plans and readying projects for
implementation in 2012 and chief among them will likely be improvements
within your domestic environment. For some it will be making home
improvements or remodeling to give you more space in which to function,
while others may decide that it’s time to move to a location that
has more to offer. In either case, it’s the impulse to effect a
radical though positive change in your environment that motivates you
now. Some form of personal makeover may also be on your agenda, in
order to present a new you to the world in 2012.
Pisces (Feb
18—March 20)
Could it possibly be that one of your fondest
dreams is shortly to become a reality? It certainly may seem so
as the Holidays approach, and you're keen to enlist the help of willing
friends or partners to make it so. You’re also feeling ambitious
now and inspired to get ahead in the world, perhaps by embracing a new
career path, or by sharing your knowledge or experience in some
creative and innovative way. Begin formulating your master plan for the
future, combining foresight, logic and practicality as key elements of
your strategy. Your instincts and intuition will become noticeably
sharper once Neptune crosses your solar ascendant and enters your sign
on Feb 3rd. Seek ways in which you can incorporate these abilities into
both your personal and professional activities.
