Astrology Forecast for Dec. 1-14
By Cortney Litwin / Staff Writer
The week gets off to a rousing start when the new moon in inspirational Sagittarius on the 1st signals a time for energizing your spiritual life, getting in touch with personal ideals and initiating new projects. After the 3rd, communications and paperwork flow easier when Mercury turns direct.
Next, travel, education, patriotism and religion get a burst of chaotic energy during the Mars-Jupiter opposition on the 4th-5th. And speaking of Mars, if youíre confused about your direction, the planet of initiative turns direct on the 9th, which should help clarity which path to pursue and when to take action. Mercury transiting into far-seeing Sagittarius on the 12th should also provide some clarity, especially about your future direction.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
