Forecast for Dec. 13-26
The potent merger of expansive Jupiter and transformational Pluto in Sagittarius dominates the cosmos until about the 17th (and beyond), heightening the desire for change, freedom and the realization of our dreams. Additionally, Jupiter transiting into practical Capricorn on the 18th brings a new cycle of opportunities over the next year (read your sign for details). Then Mercury and the sun emphasize entrepreneurial endeavors when they transit into Capricorn on the 20th and 21st. Holiday travel and communications are energized by the Mercury-sun merger on the 15th and the Mercury-Jupiter dance on the 20th-22nd. But an opposition from Mars around the 23rd heightens irritations and hastiness. As for romance, rose-colored glasses can keep you from seeing love clearly when blissful Venus collides with idealistic Neptune on the 22nd. Finally, the full moon in homey Cancer on the 23rd favors family togetherness. Happy holidays!
