HOROSCOPES

DECEMBER 12 TO 18, 2019

Are you feeling it? The moon takes a tour of emotional Cancer Thursday through Saturday.

Between Thursday and Friday, Mars trines Neptune, Venus conjuncts Pluto, and Chiron in Aries ends retrograde. Combined, they put whatever holds the strongest life force or emotional charge on an energy surge. Mars in Scorpio is always good for a passion play. Good at conjuring it up, Mars/Neptune taps a wealth of creativity and inspiration. Friday night is optimum for a romantic adventure, the spiritual quest, or for escaping reality in whatever way suits you best.

Regarding the shaping of reality, Venus in Capricorn has been a major player this past week. On Friday, Venus comes full circle with Pluto and in so doing wraps up the project it has been working on since the start of the year and begins the next project. Venus/Pluto brings significant change to the way we relate (to self, to other, to authority’s rule), evaluate, prioritize, and face reality. This planetary pairing increases a sense that time grows short and that it is of utmost importance to use it wisely. Reward- or consequence-generating, Venus/Pluto also brings a sense that fate and destiny are dictating the play. This particular transit is also a trigger for the eclipse that will launch 2020. The end of Chiron retrograde also sets karmic wheels in motion (often accompanied by a “no pain, no gain” mandate).

Despite what might be happening on the political or economic front, Thursday/ Friday are great for making the most of it. Friday night, don’t drink and drive: there will be roadblocks.

Sunday is optimum for socializing, travel, shopping, and making the most of it. Jupiter/ Uranus sets a good trend. Expect a busy, productive, and mostly smoothrunning week ahead.
