Romantic Venus transits into fun-loving Sagittarius on the 16th, giving relationships a dose of adventure and personal freedom. A Venus-Uranus pas de deux on the 18th-19th takes the concept of freedom to the extreme, a chaotic time for decision-making in relationships.
Travel plans at that time may also go awry. Fortunately, after three weeks of backtracking, communications and activities can move forward after Mercury turns direct on the 19th.
The winter solstice arrives when the Sun transits into Capricorn on the 21st. And Christmas gets a burst of enthusiasm when Mars transits into optimistic Sagittarius that day, followed by an energizing full moon on the 26th.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Multiple Sagittarius planets emphasize travel, education and making long-range goals. Now is the time to envision your future and put your ideals into action. The full moon energizes home activities and family relationships.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Focus on improving your relationship with your significant other. Making new plans together is especially emphasized after the 19th. Some conflicts may arise after the 25th. The full moon may deliver a financial opportunity.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Getting healthy is on your mind, especially after the 25th. The urge to exercise may stem from irritating factors (extra pounds?), but will get you off to the gym nonetheless. The full moon in your sign is personally energizing as well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The power to manifest your dreams is especially strong after the 25th-if you can keep focused and not undertake too many projects. The full moon, which energizes joint resources, can bring investors to your doorstep.

Your intuition is especially active now, so pay attention to psychic “nudges.” The time for action is after the 21st. The full moon encourages you to improve your relationship with your significant other.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Romance can take a weird turn around the 18th (your doing?). Understanding the other person’s point of view may be your challenge. Community and friendship activities seek your attention. Create a fitness plan during the full moon.
