December 25 2016 We Live by the Sun Feel by the Moon Weekly Horoscope


General for Week Commencing: Monday 26 December 2016

   Aries Monday 26 December 2016  Mar 21 - Apr 19
While there could be some pressure and in particular personal and/or relationship tension this week, but this has less to do with your relationships and more to do with a personal reawakening. At a time of year when there can often be more pressure on your relationships, it is important not to take this as a sign that something is wrong and is simply that Uranus, in his final days in retrograde motion in your Aries is coming under pressure from Jupiter, in his first Christmas in your relationship sector in 12 years. It was eight decades ago that this last happened so you can’t be expected to know how to manage this or see this as simply a need for personal and relationship authenticity coming to a head at the same time. This comes with a massive amount of support for friendship and relationship building, with a need to see this as a positive. Something new and wondrous is being awoken.
 
   Taurus Monday 26 December 2016  Apr 20 - May 20
Just in time for the holiday period Mars has arrived to make this a dream week for catching up with friends or just people that you share a common passion with. If you’ve planned your holiday period around a group get together of any kind, then you’ll be in your element. Birds of a feather flock together and whether planned or unplanned, you’ll find that you naturally gravitate for those that share your passion for life or specific passions. While you will need to keep both your professional and work hats on this week, this is being held in check by forces demanding that you also take some downtime. If you push through you may find yourself under pressure, but if you do simply look at where you could be working smarter. If you’re carrying a heavy load, this would be a good week to get others to help share that load. They’re not giving out any medals this week.
 
   Gemini Monday 26 December 2016  May 21 - Jun 21
The universe is so finely balanced this week, so much so that if you get too much out of kilter then you’re likely to find yourself feeling the stress. However, like the static when tuning in a radio, simply keep adjusting your balance setting. You know when you’ve tuned into a radio station because everything is crystal clear and the sound comes through smoothly and the same will be true for a week that demands a balance between work and play. While Mars is teaming up with Neptune to create a dream start to your new professional year and will spend the week fuelling your professional passions and dreams, there are limits. Venus and Jupiter joined forces over Christmas and will remain a force to be reckoned with all week, bringing a sense of adventure, fun and romance together. You have also reached an important week for friendship and relationship building.
 
   Cancer Monday 26 December 2016  Jun 22 - Jul 22
Everywhere you look this week it seems that you have your back covered, always a planet in the perfect position to turn what could be a challenging week into an opportunity. Yes, whether you are on holiday or working through you have reached one of the most powerful professional weeks on record and no it’s not the professional gods having a joke at your expense, there are checks in play to ensure this doesn’t go too far. A major alliance between Saturn in your work sector and Uranus in your career sector peaks this week, in the lead up to a massive professional turnaround on Thursday. Yet just in case Jupiter’s determination to ensure the right work/life balance fails, Mars is busy fuelling a passion for adventure and a hunger for life’s richer experiences. What is unfolding is bigger than any one week, with major professional and life transformation underway.
 
   Leo Monday 26 December 2016  Jul 23 - Aug 22
Because the Sun will always spend the last 10 days and the first three weeks of every year in your work sector, it is a given that you will need to keep your work hat on over the holiday period, yet that shouldn’t be a problem this week. That is despite the year’s last New Moon of 2016 falling in your work sector on Thursday. This is more of a chance to start looking to the New Year. The reality is, everything that needed to be done this year has already been done and anything else not only can wait until the New Year, it needs to. The professional gods know when they have met their match, with a major alliance of playful and adventurous forces not to be messed with. No matter what it is that keeps you busy, there must be a balance between work and play, the holiday spirit will hit with a vengeance by the weekend.
 
   Virgo Monday 26 December 2016  Aug 23 - Sep 22
Don’t be alarmed by any financial tension or pressure this week or see it as simply as the after effects as you count the cost of Christmas. For the first time in eight decades Uranus, in retrograde motion in your financial sector until Thursday has moved into opposition with Jupiter, spending his first Christmas in your income sector in 12 decades. Think of it as two powerful and ultimately auspicious forces trying to squeeze through a narrow gap, while fighting to take precedence. Any financial tension will peak earlier in the week and by the time you reach the weekend it will already be turning into motivation, especially on the income and job fronts. All of a sudden you’ll be looking at 2017 through very different eyes and not just financially and professionally. The love and relationship gods have also left some of the best of this year until the last.
 
   Libra Monday 26 December 2016  Sep 23 - Oct 23
Balance is likely to be an issue this week, both between your personal and relationship needs, but also a balance between work and play. Fortunately all sides not only have support but the perfect support for the job at hand. While you have lucky Jupiter supporting your personal needs you have Uranus supporting your relationship needs, with is a direct turn on Thursday bringing the promise of not only a turnaround, but also a major communication and/or relationship breakthrough. At the same time, Mars is already in your work sector firing up your passions and setting a dream start to your new professional year before it even begins. Yet while Venus will join him in the New Year to turn that dream start into a reality, in her last full week in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart Venus is not about to let life become all work and no play.
 
   Scorpio Monday 26 December 2016  Oct 24 - Nov 21
There are two phrases that you need to take to the heart this week and they are ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ and ‘don’t overreact’. With Uranus not only in his final days in retrograde motion ahead of his direct turn in your work sector on Thursday, but for the first time since he arrived in 2010, he is under pressure from Jupiter, who is demanding that you take your work hat off. This is impossible, for you have not only reached a major turning point on the job front, but there is the very real potential for a major income and job breakthrough. However, this doesn’t mean working through the holiday and is more about simply paying attention. With major job growth in the first half of 2017, this is also a timely reminder of the importance of working smarter. Don’t get hung up on deadlines, especially those self imposed.
 
   Sagittarius Monday 26 December 2016  Nov 22 - Dec 21
You’re all of a sudden waking up to what the wise have always known, that the things close to home and life’s simply pleasures, means the most. If you’re on holiday, chances are there will be little time for those boredom busters, like trips or outings and instead there will be too much to do at home. Whether it is revelling in a chance for some quality family time or getting stuck into projects or even hobbies around the home, you’ll be in your element when you get to spend time doing all those things you don’t usually have time for. You’re able to lose yourself for hours in revisiting old hobbies, finding new ones or just playing board games with the little and not so little people in your family. It is the people and things close to home that are your true treasures in these final days of 2016.
 
   Capricorn Monday 26 December 2016  Dec 22 - Jan 19
While having Jupiter in your career sector over Christmas, New Year and the holiday period was going to create some work/life balance issues, what isn’t the norm is for them to be as extreme as they’re likely to be this week. Uranus, in your home and family sector from 2010 to 2019 and due to turn direct here on Thursday, is not too happy about even just having Jupiter in your career sector, with their opposition this week bringing it all to a head. Yet falling over the holiday period and with 2017 destined to be such an auspicious year for both professional growth and home and family matters, this is the perfect chance to sort any balance issues once and for all. In meantime, while the first full week of your birthday month and a New Moon on Thursday brings a chance to look to the future, 2016 still has unfinished business and plenty of time to explore your options.
 
   Aquarius Monday 26 December 2016  Jan 20 - Feb 18
From within, a new cry can be heard this week, one that is asking ‘what about me’? While Mars’ return to your income sector last week has begun a mission to smash through glass ceilings, this is less about the money and more about fighting for what you deserve across all the currencies in your life. All of a sudden your inner two year old is ready to throw a tantrum if it doesn’t get what it wants, but while you might blame others for always jumping the queue, chances are it was you who let them. However, this is not just about waking up to what you deserve and what you’ve been missing out on and instead this is a symptom of something deeper. With Mars having just left Aquarius last week and Venus here until the early days of the New Year, you’re waking up to what you’ve been missing out on.
 
   Pisces Monday 26 December 2016  Feb 19 - Mar 20
All of a sudden you have not only found your voice but your fighting spirit as well, as you not only prepare to move into the New Year with Mars in your sign, but teaming up with dreamy Neptune. It has been nearly two years since the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos was last in Pisces and the fact that he’s back all of a sudden has you excited about life. That doesn’t mean that anything is going to change outwardly and in fact, everything is likely to look much as it did last week, but your perspective has shifted. The things that daunted you or seemed insolvable problems before are now exciting challenges to overcome. This is likely to be especially so on the financial front, with financial tensions turning into motivation. Something has shifted across your life and you’re ready to start fighting back.

December 18 2016 We Live by the Sun Feel by the Moon


General for Week Commencing: Monday 19 December 2016

   Aries Monday 19 December 2016  Mar 21 - Apr 19
While the Sun will always return to your career sector just before Christmas each year, even this isn’t won’t be enough to keep you in the game. It’s not that you’ve peaked too early and more that you have such a jump on both this professional year and on your 2017 professional year that you can afford to hold back. Regardless of when your professional year ends or even if you’re working through, a rush mentality will drop back dramatically in the early hours of the week. At the same time, a sense of adventure that ironically will often run its course just before the holiday period begins will instead deepen. By the time the Sun leaves your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on Wednesday, a new sense of conviction will have taken hold, forming the basis of your New Year’s resolutions.
 
   Taurus Monday 19 December 2016  Apr 20 - May 20
There is an immovable line of financial, work and career forces that aren’t going to budge and Christmas or not, they will demand that you keep your money, work and professional hats on throughout the Christmas, New Year and the holiday period. This is something you need to be aware of from the get go, while at the same time seeing this as the opportunity it is. With Saturn spending his last Christmas in your financial sector for another three decades, Jupiter his first Christmas in your work sector in 12 years and Venus her last Christmas in your career sector for another three years, your problem is that you have too much support and too many opportunities to slow down for Christmas. However, push through regardless and you’re likely to find the wind taken out of your sails, with a need to not only work smarter but work to keep the Christmas and holiday spirit alive.
 
   Gemini Monday 19 December 2016  May 21 - Jun 21
We might be in the final two weeks of 2016, but there is still a lot of year to be packed into these final days. While the Sun’s departure from your relationship sector and return to your financial sector on Wednesday, will take the solar spotlight off your relationships and put it onto your financial situation and money matters, there are two big moves before then. It begins on Monday with Mars’ return to your career sector, which will not only fire up your professional year in its 11th Hour, but unleash something that will continue to unfold well into the New Year and in fact, right through to late April. It is just hours later and on the same day, that the last Mercury retrograde phase of 2016 begins. Just two days before the Sun is due to turn the solar spotlight on your financial situation and money matters, Mercury brings a chance to return to the drawing board.
 
   Cancer Monday 19 December 2016  Jun 22 - Jul 22
While there are likely to be some work/life balance issues this week, especially over Christmas weekend itself, the gods have a secret weapon up their sleeves and they know exactly when to play it. The Sun’s departure from your work sector on Wednesday won’t be a chance to take your work hat off and instead, this is when a major alliance of work and career forces will lock into play. Jupiter, spending his first Christmas in your home and family sector in 12 years is not happy about this and will mount a severe protest, with work/life balance tensions evident from the get go. This will only get stronger as the week progresses, with no sign of any reprieve, until the gods play their wildcard or should that be Christmas gift. Playful lunar vibes in play from Christmas Eve through to Boxing Day will help keep things in perspective.
 
   Leo Monday 19 December 2016  Jul 23 - Aug 22
This is usually the point in the year where the battle to find a balance between work and play gets serious, but also a little lopsided, with the Sun’s return to your work sector on Wednesday always tilting the scales towards work matters. Yet you will not only find resistance from playful forces that are standing their ground or from the adventurous forces that they’ll team up with, but within the ranks of the professional gods themselves. The Sun might shift the solar spotlight onto your work situation, matters and options on Wednesday, but with Mercury turning retrograde here on Monday this will see the bottom fall out of any urgency, in the early days of the week. Not due to leave until February, Mercury will throw out the anchor to slow things down. Instead of having to fight for a balance between work and play, it is happening naturally.
 
   Virgo Monday 19 December 2016  Aug 23 - Sep 22
While Mars’ departure from your work sector on Monday won’t bring a chance to take your work hat off completely, with Venus staying on until the New Year, this is the point where a lot of the urgency is going to evaporate. Regardless of when your professional year ends or even if you’re working through, you will find that by Tuesday a rush mentality and frenetic pace will drop back considerably. With Venus not only spending Christmas in your work sector but aligning with Jupiter in your income sector on Christmas Day, taking your work or money hats off won’t be an option, but it will then become more about getting a sense of what’s possible. As Mars turns his focus onto your relationships there might be some relationship tensions in the early part of the week, but by midweek this will turn into a new sense of resolve.
 
   Libra Monday 19 December 2016  Sep 23 - Oct 23
Something so profound is happening over Christmas this year, that it could create a major paradigm shift, one that changes the whole way you look at not only your relationships, but what you expect from the future. The whole period from this Tuesday through to New Year’s Eve is likely to challenge what you thought you knew about yourself and what you wanted from your relationships, but also when the support to turn every wish into a reality will also fall into place. This might change your view of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, but with the support to make it happen. This creates the potential for some major breakthroughs. In the meantime, don’t be surprised if life suddenly gets a lot busier this week, with Mars’ return to your work sector on Monday giving the closing days of this professional year a new lease of life.
 
   Scorpio Monday 19 December 2016  Oct 24 - Nov 21
The week’s cosmic landscape is starting to resemble a chessboard, with the planets making strategic moves that might not make sense at the time, but always thinking two steps ahead, they eventually will. Point in question is Mars’ return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on Monday, a move that on the surface is a welcome, but not game changing chance to bring some fun and passion into the final weeks of 2016. However, by the time you reach the weekend it will be clear what a stroke of genius this actually is. The professional gods are not only refusing to let you take your work hat off over Christmas and the New Year, you may even find work tension and job pressure building. Mars can’t change that, but along with Venus making home where your heart is this Christmas, he’ll make sure life doesn’t become all work and no play.
 
   Sagittarius Monday 19 December 2016  Nov 22 - Dec 21
Something is being awoken this week that is set to put a smile on your face, with the final days of your birthday month bringing a sense of excitement about the journey ahead. While there will be a chance to tie up loose ends on the professional front in the early part of the week, it is clear that the professional gods have no heavy demands on you, as they have done in previous years. Regardless of when your professional year ends or even if you’re working through, you will find that by Wednesday you’ll be ready to embrace the holiday spirit and there will be nothing stopping you. Yet it’s as your birthday month ends on Wednesday that the real journey begins, sensing that this new solar year is not only going to be empowered, but there is a real chance to follow your heart. Something is being awoken, reminding you that life is waiting and is there to be lived.
 
   Capricorn Monday 19 December 2016  Dec 22 - Jan 19
With lucky Jupiter in your career sector until October 2017 keeping your professional hat on over Christmas, New Year and the holiday period was always a given and a price you had to pay. With Venus not only spending Christmas in your income sector, but the two aligning on Christmas Day, it’s clear that neither the money nor professional gods are going on holiday this year. Yet this is bigger than anything mundane or specific and is more a chance to wake up to how many options you have. Just in case there was the temptation to let this get out of hand, work/life balance is being strictly enforced. This is also a week where communication becomes both easier and a lot more important. While Christmas will be a special time for family this year, the Moon steps in to make Christmas weekend especially important for friendship this year.
 
   Aquarius Monday 19 December 2016  Jan 20 - Feb 18
By the time Mars leaves Aquarius on Monday 2017 is still just under two weeks away and your birthday month and new solar year is still a month away, yet this has given you a jump on both. It is then that Mars will give not just give you a last minute financial boost, but will kick off what could some of the most lucrative weeks of 2016 and months of 2017. For while Mars returns to your income sector on Monday to declare war on any glass ceilings, he will continue to attack them with a battering ram right out to late January, by which point Venus will be on hand to take over. Mars will be on hand to fight for a last minute Christmas bonus, pay rise or untapped income potential, as well as coming in handy when it comes to striking a bargain when Christmas shopping. Yet more important than the money is a chance to fight for what you deserve across all the currencies in your life.
 
   Pisces Monday 19 December 2016  Feb 19 - Mar 20
In what is destined to be a big week for professional, income and financial matters, the whole dynamics of the year shift for you in the early hours of the week. It is on Monday that Mars’ return to Pisces will see the wind pick up in your sails again and warrior energy start to surge through your system. With 2017 still just under two weeks away and your birthday month and new solar year not starting until February, this will all of a sudden give you a jump on both. Whatever you’re facing, either this week, the rest of this year and into 2017, you’ll have energy to spare for the things that excite you. This will provide the motivation to get as much as you can out of 2016 before it ends. In the meantime, while you may have trouble keeping your money and professional hats off over Christmas, adventurous lunar vibes should help put Christmas weekend in particular into perspective.

December 11 2016 Weekly Horoscope We Live by the Sun Feel by the Moon


General for Week Commencing: Monday 12 December 2016

   Aries Monday 12 December 2016  Mar 21 - Apr 19
Moving into the week with the Moon in your income sector is giving you a nose for money from the get go and the timing couldn’t be better. Moving into the final weeks of your professional year, but with some big developments on the career fronts still to play out, is more than just a nose for money. Until the Moon leaves on Tuesday, this is a chance to put all your income, work and career options on the same page, for the last time this year. It is midweek that the Moon’s last visit to your communication sector for the year will bring an opportunity for a communication breakthrough or to clear the airs, just as you might be feeling some pressure as you work to balance your personal and relationship needs. Yet as much as there is pressure in the final weeks of the year there is also a chance for fun and to embrace a sense of adventure.
 
   Taurus Monday 12 December 2016  Apr 20 - May 20
Wednesday’s Full Moon in your income sector falls right in the heart of what was already and an exceptional week for both job and career matters, creating a stunning and potential breakthrough week across the income, work and career fronts. This will also leave you with a valuable nose for money as you start to realise there is no finishing line to this professional year that will continue straight through to 2017. This makes the Moon’s return to your home and family sector over the weekend and the work/life balance issues this might rise, a valuable chance to look ahead. Regardless of when your professional year ends or even if you’re working through, this is one year when the professional gods won’t sleep. This is also an important week for money matters, with the Sun’s last full week in your financial sector all about taking care of any financial housekeeping.
 
   Gemini Monday 12 December 2016  May 21 - Jun 21
While the Moon is set to have a big impact this week, due to not only the areas of your life this will impact, but the interaction with other aspects in play, the most important will be its return to Gemini on Tuesday. This begins the lead up to a Full Moon on Wednesday, the last of 2016 but also the Full Moon that brings you to the halfway point in this solar year. This is personal. Halfway between your last birthday month and the next, this brings you to the halfway point in this current solar year, with a chance to look back at the promises and intentions made back then. This can challenge your excuses but also as you evolve, help you make new intentions. Just weeks before the New Year, this is a chance to start to work on the new resolutions you want to take with you into the future.
 
   Cancer Monday 12 December 2016  Jun 22 - Jul 22
In a week where you will need to have your money, work, professional and relationship hats on from the get go, but also where there will be home and family demands, the one thing you’re probably longing for is time to hear yourself think. Now herein lies a word of caution, for you’ll get that chance with the Moon’s return to a nostalgic, intuitive and imaginative part of your chart on Tuesday, ahead of Wednesday’s Full Moon. The universe listens to everything you say and it knows your need for time to hear yourself think and also the opportunity that Wednesday’s Full Moon provides. If you don’t slow down and take advantage of this, the universe is likely to pull on the emergency brakes, fearing you’re about to miss an important pit stop. If you don’t voluntarily slow down the universe will find a way and trust me, this is something you want to do on your terms.
 
   Leo Monday 12 December 2016  Jul 23 - Aug 22
Moving into the week with the Moon in your career sector will ensure your professional instincts are sharp from the get go and considering how things are playing out on the work front this week, the timing couldn’t be better. With some manically busy weeks behind you, the Sun not returning to your work sector until next Wednesday and Mercury slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn next Monday, there really is a need to pace yourself. The Moon will have a big impact this week and not just because of the intuitive edge this gives you in the early part of the week. The Moon will return to an intuitive and imaginative part of your chart midweek and into opposition with Mercury over the coming days, potentially taking the wind out of your sails. However, in Mercury’s final days in direct motion this will also be a call to work smarter and pace yourself.
 
   Virgo Monday 12 December 2016  Aug 23 - Sep 22
While there is real evidence this week that rather than slowing down your professional year is speeding up and that things are starting to come together across the income, work and career fronts, you can expect to start seeing a fight back. While Wednesday’s Full Moon is likely to be a catalyst for developments across the income, work and career fronts, this is also likely to see work/life balance tensions come to a head. The Sun, in his last full week in your home and family sector is not going to take kindly to the pressure from a Full Moon in your career sector or the complications. Falling this close to Christmas and in a year where you will need to keep your money and work hats on through Christmas and the New Year, this is a timely reminder of a need for balance. Until Mars leaves your work sector next Monday, this may be easier said than done.
 
   Libra Monday 12 December 2016  Sep 23 - Oct 23
While you will need to have your money hat on in the early hours of the week, this is only until the Moon wraps up its last visit to your financial sector for the year on Tuesday. This makes it important to have your finger on the pulse and ear to the ground, but wait until after the Moon moves on to process the message behind any strong emotional, intuitive and imaginative responses. In the meantime, the biggest danger this week is underestimating the importance of this week’s playful and adventurous influences, figuring you can take a rain check until the holidays if need be. Wednesday’s Full Moon in an adventurous part of your chart is a result of the Moon’s last visit for the year and with Mars leaving a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart next Monday, both will be gone by the time the holidays come around. Things will get a lot busier next week.
 
   Scorpio Monday 12 December 2016  Oct 24 - Nov 21
You have a week that is going to evolve and change as the week progresses, mainly because of the Moon’s passage through your chart and the up and down conditions this will create. To start with the Moon will be stirring your emotional responses on the relationship front, but with the support of Mercury in your communication sector, this will bring a chance to give your emotional responses a voice. By midweek the Moon will be in conflict with the Sun, with the last Full Moon of 2016 creating some financial tension, but also bringing both income and financial matters to a head, turning and/or tipping point. Yet by the weekend the Moon and Sun will be the best of friends, with the Moon’s last visit to your work sector for the year giving you an intuitive edge, as the Sun spends his last full week in your income sector.
 
   Sagittarius Monday 12 December 2016  Nov 22 - Dec 21
Sometimes, what on first impressions can seem a case of bad timing, is in fact perfect timing. The last full week of your birthday month was always going to put the focus on your own personal needs, with a chance to look at what you want and need for this new solar year and the journey ahead. Yet the Moon’s return to your relationship sector on Tuesday and the Full Moon this creates on Wednesday is likely to evoke strong emotional responses to relationship matters, push buttons and even fuel any personal and/or relationship tensions. That is obviously terrible timing, right? Wrong. With Venus in her first and Mars his last full week in your communication sector, they’re on hand to turn this into a major opportunity for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough. Both you and your relationships need these wakeup calls.
 
   Capricorn Monday 12 December 2016  Dec 22 - Jan 19
Despite the fact that you have reached a stunning week for income, work and career matters, the threat of work/life balance issues is never far away. Wednesday’s Full Moon in your work sector is not only the epicentre of a stunning week for income, work and career developments, but is likely to trigger potential breakthroughs across the board. Yet before then the Moon will start the week in a playful part of your chart and until leaving on Tuesday brings a chance to either find a balance between work and play or become more aware of its importance. With work/life balance set to finally come to a head next week, this is something you need to be mindful of from the get go. In the meantime, there will be a chance to focus on your relationships in the second part of the week, with some help from the communication gods.
 
   Aquarius Monday 12 December 2016  Jan 20 - Feb 18
It’s not so much that the wind has gone out of your sails or that you’ve lost your edge, but the sense of professional urgency that has given you for much of this year is gone. If it feels that you have more free time to not only enjoy the festive seasons, but spend more time with family and even have fun, then you’re right. It’s more that you got such a head start and have already accomplished so much, that you’re far ahead of where you normally are at this time of year, allowing you to rest a little on your laurels. It is a Full Moon in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart midweek that will really bring the festive and playful spirit into your week. While the Moon will return for its last visit to your work sector for the year on Tuesday, this is more a chance to tie up loose ends.
 
   Pisces Monday 12 December 2016  Feb 19 - Mar 20
The Sun’s last full week in your career sector is always going to keep the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year. However, unlike other years this will not only continue once the Sun leaves next Wednesday, but will only intensify over the Christmas and New Year period. This makes the timing of Wednesday’s Full Moon and the work/life balance tensions or issues this is likely to bring to a head, a case of perfect timing. The Moon will arrive on Tuesday and will be gone by Thursday, with the biggest danger being how easy this would be to ignore. All you would need to do is stick your head in the sand for a few days and wait for this to blow over. Yet if you did you would miss a valuable opportunity. If that doesn’t work, playful lunar vibes from Thursday will encourage a balance between work and play.

December 4 2016 We Live by the Sun Feel by the Moon


General for Week Commencing: Monday 05 December 2016

   Aries Monday 05 December 2016  Mar 21 - Apr 19
At the same time the year seems to be rushing to an end, it also seems to be doing so in slow motion. While the Sun doesn’t return to your career sector until just before Christmas each year, despite the fact that you have a jump start on this, by the end of the week any urgency will have bottomed out. At the same time, while there is a strong sense of adventure in the air, as is the case at this time every year, a lack of urgency comes from the fact that you know old excuses no longer cut it. Where before there may have been an urge to embrace a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure before it wanes, you know deep down that it’s not and that this is here to stay. As much as you’re able to keep on top of your game professionally, there is also time for friends and a social life that is opening up in an unexpected way.
 
   Taurus Monday 05 December 2016  Apr 20 - May 20
While you have had Mars in your career sector since early last month and with Jupiter spending his first Christmas/New Year in your work sector in 12 years this has already rocked your professional world, expect it to be rocked all over again this week. It is Venus’ return to your career sector on Thursday that not only brings the potential for attracting new professional opportunities this side of Christmas, but will ensure you have a say in how these exceptional work and career developments play out. Just as your professional year should be slowing down, it is instead speeding up. However, even if you wanted to, an alliance between playful and adventurous forces will guard against life becoming all work and no play. Just as well, for you have reached an important week for addressing any work/life balance issues.
 
   Gemini Monday 05 December 2016  May 21 - Jun 21
Moving into the week with Venus and Mercury in your financial sector can only be good news, with your heart and mind on the same page from the get go, a smart head for money and your financial confidence high. Yet while Venus’ departure on Thursday will leave you with your financial confidence, desires and expectations fuelled, her departure will also trigger a drop in urgency. With your annual financial review not starting until just before Christmas, this allows you to spend some time back at the drawing board. While this is always going to be an important time of year to focus on your relationships and that is especially so over the weekend, there are some unexpected elements in play. Those unexpected elements are playful and adventurous forces, not usually in effect at this time of year.
 
   Cancer Monday 05 December 2016  Jun 22 - Jul 22
Moving into the week with the Moon in your financial sector will ensure your financial instincts are sharp from the get go and considering how much the tide is turning in your favour, the timing couldn’t be better. With Mars here since early last month you’ve been ready to take a bold approach to money matters for some time, but Venus’ return on Thursday takes this to a whole new level. As your financial confidence kicks in, so too will the courage to take back your financial power. While this is a week where you will need to have your money, relationship, work and professional hats on from the get go, you shouldn’t have a problem juggling them all. It all comes down to smart time management and learning to not only recognise what you need, but how to make it happen. From power naps to knowing when to take time out, you have to do what works for you.
 
   Leo Monday 05 December 2016  Jul 23 - Aug 22
From the get go it is clear that this is a week where a balance between work and play is not only a must, it is going to be vigorously policed, especially with the week itself becoming more complicated as you go. With the Sun and Saturn moving towards their alignment in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart over the weekend, even if you wanted to, you are not going to get away with letting life become all work and no play. Yet you have the support to get a jump on work matters and during the course of the week you will also find a chance to start making things happen. Yet it’s not just a balance between work and play that is a priority this week, with something special developing on the relationship front as well. Fortunately there is plenty of support between the communication and relationship gods.
 
   Virgo Monday 05 December 2016  Aug 23 - Sep 22
While there is a lot of focus on home and family matters this week, this is fast becoming not just something you’re able to put the spotlight on, but front and centre of your life. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of December shining the solar spotlight on your home and family life and matters, but this year it is going to feel different. With so much happening on the work and relationship fronts, home and family matters might seem a distraction, but you’re waking up to the fact that if you can get that right, everything else will fall into place. This goes beyond simply being aware and by the weekend there will be a chance to take a major stand or draw a major line in the sand. This comes just as there are some important developments building across the income, work and career fronts, making work/life balance essential.
 
   Libra Monday 05 December 2016  Sep 23 - Oct 23
Whether it is a balance between your personal and relationship needs or work/life balance, you’re starting to appreciate that it is all about balance, but also just how important it is to have the communication lines open. It is the Moon’s return to your relationship sector on Thursday that might see some strong emotional responses kick in, but also personal and/or relationship tensions start to rise and the timing couldn’t be better. For it is over the weekend that you have the potential for a major communication breakthrough or at least an awakening of the importance of communication and the revelation of how much support you have. In the meantime, while home and family matters remain important, any urgency drops back this week, as if you’re waiting for something. This buys you time to take care of any housekeeping.
 
   Scorpio Monday 05 December 2016  Oct 24 - Nov 21
This week brings a mix of the familiar and the unfamiliar, the expected and the unexpected, with a need to move into the week with your mind and your options open, staying in the moment as much as possible. What is expected and familiar is that the spotlight will be on your income situation, matters and options at this time of year, but what is not expected is to the degree that it is. If you haven’t already seen evidence, it is becoming clear that you have the means to bulldoze your way through glass ceilings that may have been in place for years. This comes just as there is an awakening of sorts on the work front, as you start to wake up to the fact that it is not just about the money. A growing need of job satisfaction and a sense of purpose is making it hard to stay somewhere just because of the money. This comes just your home and family life become a major priority.
 
   Sagittarius Monday 05 December 2016  Nov 22 - Dec 21
Where last week’s New Moon brought you to a point in your birthday month where you were able to commit to your birthday month and new solar year, it is already clear that all you were committed to is the start of the journey itself. With your birthday month not ending until just before Christmas, you are still exploring your options. In a year where there has been a heavy professional influence, this has now dropped back and you’re starting to ask ‘what about me’. It is over the weekend that you will have a chance to get close to finding that answer, as the Sun and Saturn align in Sagittarius, for the last time for another three decades. As the Sun shines the spotlight on your true sense of purpose, Saturn brings a reminder that you have the power to move mountains if you have to.
 
   Capricorn Monday 05 December 2016  Dec 22 - Jan 19
The final weeks of your old solar year are always a time for pulling back and this is a point of the year where you are often running on empty, wondering how you’re going to find the energy to make it through these final weeks. Yet, while there will be times when you want the world to go away, so you can put out the 'do not disturb' sign and find time to hear yourself think, for the most part you don’t have time for that. You have such a jump on your new solar year that even before it begins you know what you want, you know what excites you and you’re ready to make it happen. In fact, your biggest danger is paying lip service to the wind down of this old solar year and an important chance to close old doors. If you don’t slow down you are likely to find the wind taken out of your sails, especially over the weekend. From the get go, schedule time out over the weekend.
 
   Aquarius Monday 05 December 2016  Jan 20 - Feb 18
By the time Venus returns to Aquarius on Thursday your birthday month and 2017 is still over three weeks away and your birthday month and new solar year still six weeks away, giving you an amazing jump start on both. This is as far ahead of the Sun as Venus is physically able to get and teaming up with Mars, for the first time this side of Christmas in decades, this is a massive opportunity to not only get a sense of what excites you, but steer your future in the direction you want it to take. You won’t even begin the wind down of your old solar year for another two weeks, turning you into a bit of a time traveller. As your heart and passions come together, this will bring an extraordinary opportunity to explore more options. With Mars having teamed up with Jupiter late last week, this comes just as you’re waking up to a new quest for adventure.
 
   Pisces Monday 05 December 2016  Feb 19 - Mar 20
Despite the fact that you have not only moved into a powerful week for both income and career matters, with a sense that something profound is taking shape, you will find it hard to completely throw yourself into this. Something game changing is developing on both fronts and will continue to develop over the coming weeks and while you’ll have no trouble keeping your professional and money hats on when you need to, you will also find it easy to keep them off when you want to. As the week progresses you will find yourself more and more drawn to an urge to put out the 'do not disturb' sign, finding time to hear yourself think. In the final two weeks of a Mars cycle that began in early 2015, you may even find that you’re running on empty at times. This will make it important to work smarter, at a time when you’re losing your taste for the fast lane.
