From revolution to reconstruction, Pluto and Saturn, the planets of transformation and structure, respectively, rule the cosmos for the next two weeks. An especially favorable time for home remodeling, business reorganization and any personal inner work is Dec. 9-11, when the Sun conjoins with Pluto with the added benefit of Jupiter’s influence. Plans and communications could stall, however, around Dec. 6, 17 and 18, when Saturn sets limitations. It’s best to chill and wait for events to untangle.
Relationships hit the stratosphere with loving Venus and passionate Mars dancing together throughout the month. Your imagination may run away with you, however, with idealistic Neptune’s influence Dec. 13-17.
If you know your rising sign from your time of birth, read that also.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Romance, of the heated variety, is in the air with your Mars ruler in sumptuous Scorpio, so even the most career-driven rams will take time for love. Just watch your temper-a small annoyance could cause a major explosion.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your Venus ruler conjoined with Mars assures you’ll shine in the romance department. Just keep that pedestal out of the picture when Neptune, the planet of illusion, hands you a pair of rose-colored glasses.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Saturn entangled with your Mercury ruler Dec. 6 slows you down temporarily. Career plans proceed after Dec. 9, when Mercury transits into Capricorn-a good time for decision making. Venus and Mars indicate that work and romance blend together.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Take advantage of the powerful pairing of the Sun and Pluto to initiate a new health regimen, or take the one you’re on to the next level. Children are emphasized with the influences of Mars and Venus, and a relationship is transformed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Jupiter in Leo traveling retrograde for the next four months signifies that by reviewing your past you’ll clear the way for future personal and spiritual fulfillment. Your Sun ruler combined with Pluto heals a relationship with a child or lover.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A family relationship benefits from the healing Sun-Pluto influence. Just don’t let a snag in your plans or mental sluggishness around Dec. 6 throw you off course. The retrograde Jupiter energy highlights your spiritual life.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The Venus-Mars pas de deux has you immersed in love or longing, but keep your eyes open for unrealistic expectations when your Venus ruler wears a Neptune mask around Dec. 13-17. A realization comes through a communication.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Love and passion are yours to wield with Venus and Mars in your sign. However, Neptune’s gaze around Dec. 13-17 may make you disillusioned with your partner. Be sure to check the facts. Reorganize your finances on Dec. 9-11.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Your Jupiter ruler traveling retrograde for the next four months reveals your future by bringing up the past. A glorious transformation in your personal life occurs via Pluto and the Sun. Saturn pitches a temporary roadblock in your path Dec. 17-18.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your Saturn ruler struggling with the Sun-Pluto energy around Dec. 17-18 may bring up any fears you have about expanding into new territory. Release those feelings and seek the opportunity provided by the glorious, unconventional Saturn-Uranus influence.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
An unusual idea that mixes the bohemian and traditional may prove profitable when your unconventional Uranus ruler aligns with staid Saturn all this month. Retrograde Jupiter brings enlightenment to a relationship through a brush with the past.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your career undergoes a change via the Sun-Pluto connection around Dec. 9-11. But keep your feet firmly on the ground regarding relationships and ambition when your idealistic Neptune ruler tangles with Venus and Mars on Dec. 13-17.
