The holiday season can be a time that presents challenges for everyone. George Burns said, "Happiness is having a large, caring, close-knit family living in another city." (We can all relate.) I think the key is to avoid over planning and taking control in an attempt to uphold every tradition you can think of. Lighten up! Be grateful for your health and your ability to share good times with loved ones. December 24 is a laid-back, easy-going freewheeling day - if you let it be. By midday December 25, life can be emotionally cozy. Remember to stay in the moment. Get dressed. Go with what's happening. Charlie Brown said, "Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone." What matters most is not what's under your tree - but who is around it. Happy holidays to all my dear readers.
This week the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. This means you look great in the eyes of others. Furthermore, Venus in your House of Friendships makes this an excellent time to enjoy parties and socialize with friends and groups. In fact, Venus will guarantee that all your relationships will be warmer and more rewarding. Because Mercury is no longer retrograde, many of you will move forward with travel plans, because who likes to explore the world more than you? No one. Meanwhile, your ability to make big plans (more optimistic than ever before) guarantees exciting times ahead!
This week you're emboldened to do something different. You feel experimental. Obviously, you'll enjoy travel and unfamiliar experiences that give you a chance to explore your world. Grab any chance to learn something new because it will be rewarding. You might have an interesting discussion with someone that promotes a metaphysical or religious journey because you're more receptive than usual to these ideas. Meanwhile, fair Venus is at the top of your chart, which means no matter what you do for a living, you might be more involved in artistic matters. People might ask for your advice about how to make something look better. This also means you might strike up a flirtation or a new romance with someone in authority who might be able to help you. (The best labour-saving device is marrying someone rich.)
You're curious about change, new information, and the stimulation of new faces and new places! This is why you'll love to travel this week. In particular, you will appreciate the artistic creations of others. Perhaps someone might introduce you to something new? You'll also be attracted to people from different backgrounds. Despite the challenges of unexpected changes to your daily routine, something might occur that prompts you to get in touch with your deeper self. (Someone you encounter might trigger this.) Meanwhile you are focused more than usual on cash flow, and resources that are jointly held with someone else - including debt. (Groan.) You're humming "It's beginning to cost a lot like Christmas."
This can be a challenging week for you because the Sun is opposite your sign, which will rob you of your energy. Therefore, it's important to acknowledge this and go to bed earlier or take naps. (This is a fact.) Meanwhile, this is the perfect week to form working units and get things done through teamwork. You might even consult an expert. Fortunately, this week, gifts, goodies and favours from others will come your way. Intimate relationships will be passionate and memorable. (Well, you are spending more time in bed.) Practical matters will favour you. In fact, this is a solid week to ask for a loan because doors will open for you. Ka-ching!
You love festivities and tradition. Fortunately, Venus is opposite your sign this week, which is the best placement for all relationships - love affairs, relations with partners, coworkers and even your enemies. For example, this is the perfect time to extend an olive branch to someone. (Mistletoe might be too much.) Meanwhile, your true good fortune is that the placement of the Sun in your chart this week will help you work and be productive. (Bonus!) You will tackle tasks that need to be done with efficiency and effectiveness. You might also be more health conscious. ("I do this exercise for three minutes every day. It's important to be consistent.")
Lucky you! This week the Sun is sitting in the most pleasure-seeking part of your chart, which means you're up for fun times during the holidays. It's ironic because normally, you're the sign of service; nevertheless, this week your primary drive is to do what you want and set your own priorities. "Me first!" However, this placement of the Sun will enhance your ability to relate to children. In fact, all your relationships with everyone will be lighter and more enjoyable! Venus will also promote warmer relations with coworkers. In fact, someone might begin a work-related romance?
The stars are giving you conflicting messages this week. In one way, you're better prepared than other signs because your focus is already on home and family. This means you're pumped for the holidays! Because you love your home and the appearance of your surroundings, you're primping the place and giving attention to the pretty details so everyone feels welcomed. Nevertheless, by contrast, the conflicting energy of the placement of your Sun, means you want to relax by yourself in a comfy robe with your feet up enjoying good food and drink. Fortunately, your ruler Venus will encourage romance, social outings, parties, enjoying the arts and delighting in playful activities with children.
Fortunately, you have the energy and zest to tackle this holiday season because the Sun is attracting your attention to your immediate surroundings. This will bless and increase your interaction with friends, neighbours, siblings, relatives and business associates. Oh yes, you're happy to be on the go. The acceleration of your daily tempo will feel natural. You'll have more energy to communicate to others and share your feelings and your ideas. Meanwhile, Venus will encourage you to make your home look attractive by dabbling in redecorating ideas and putting out extra effort into loving details. In turn, this encourages you to entertain at home. You can see why you're a winner this holiday season! Oh yeah, you've got what it takes!
You'll be relieved to know that Mercury is no longer retrograde in your sign. This is a relief because this means errors, mixed-up communications, transportation delays and goofy forgetfulness will be reduced. Admittedly, the shadow phase of Mercury retrograde will last until January 3 next year, which means although the frustrations of Mercury retrograde have been reduced; nevertheless, you will be wise to wait until after January 3 to buy expensive items like ground transportation, computers and cell phones. Meanwhile, a lovely influence from Venus this week will sweeten your words in conversations with others. It will also heighten your appreciation of your daily surroundings. A cool blessing!
All hail Capricorn! This week the Sun is in your sign, which is so empowering, it's your chance to re-charge your batteries for the rest of the year. This will also make you feel very chatty with others, and eager to socialize during this holiday week. Obviously, you'll make an exceptional impression on everyone. (You like to present well to your public world.) Added to this strong advantage, Venus in your Money House will attract money to you. This is why this is an excellent week for financial negotiations or investments. You will also enjoy buying beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. ("Are those Louboutins 75% off??")
You are a social sign, and you adore your friends - no question. Nevertheless, there are conflicting influences in your chart this week. In one way, you're happy to play things low-key and stay in the background. You're content with your own company while all the party shenanigans take place elsewhere. However, countering this, is the fact that fair Venus is in your sign, and Venus will make you want to socialize with others and have a good time with friends. (This is because Venus ranks pleasure above work.) Therefore, although you will attract people and fun-loving situations to you, you may choose at times, to sit things out. It's entirely your call.
This week will be a sociable, fun-loving time for you because the Sun is sitting in your House of Friendships. This means your attention will naturally turn to others. Not only will you want to socialize with others; you will also want to work and cooperate with them. In particular, you will enjoy hanging out with people who share your values, especially because right now, your idealism is aroused. Although Mercury is still in its shadow phase of its prior retrograde motion; nevertheless, it is at the top of your chart prompting you to make plans about your professional life and what you might do to get ahead. For example, is this the time to check out new courses or learning a new skill? This is also an excellent time to talk to bosses and superiors to get their input. (Secret love affairs are likely.)
