The Stars: Right before the Sagittarius new moon on the 11th, war planet Mars is opposite rebellious, revolutionary Uranus. Uranus goes direct two weeks later on a full moon (December 25th), suggesting extreme global events occurring in December can be like the last half hour of a 4th of July fireworks display. It could be a high-casualty month in foreign lands and seas.

  

Although the Mars-Uranus opposition brings up the scary possibility of increased terrorism and extreme Nature, here’s how it can have a positive impact on you: armed with an understanding of what you want and how to get it, you will be empowered with table-flipping energy to break through your limitations. Mercury trine Jupiter on Christmas boosts your ability to make excellent plans for the future, and Mars helps you execute them. The year’s last hurrah of explosive energy and motivation can work for you. 

New Year’s Eve will be a perfect night for a party and late-night elegance. Even over the top celebration ambitions can be carried out beautifully. Happy New Year! If you are at home or not into parties, holiday treats and movies will be great!

December’s Speaking Stones: Surprise is a big theme in December 2015; surprises both well-planned and those emerging out of nowhere. The stone representing women is left out of the December design, meaning it is not a comfortable, receptive, inclusive time. It’s a month of planning, seeding, action, and change. Not much is known about the world in December 2015. The feeling is, “the center will not hold.” Foreign boundaries are changing. 

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, Fire signs: You will want to spruce up, innovate, remodel, and remake whatever is foundational in your life. You might be changing location, if not just moving things around! You’re all about what’s new. You will organize yourself in a way that allows you to expand with much more success than other times. You can push out from what has been restrictive. You’re betting on new creativity and it looks like a good bet. People can come into your life that add balance and the sense they’re presence is meant-to-be. 

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, Water signs: This is a grounded, intuitive, touchy-feely month of working seriously with your skills. It’s a very creative time and you like your activities for the most part. You may not have yet articulated to yourself where things are going, but you feel much brighter about the future, and you’ll have the space and time to think anew and develop a project that, as it turns out, can have a big impact on your fate and is something that’s destined. 

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, Air signs,: Somehow your fate might lead you to a new location; perhaps it is a return to a place you’ve been. There may be fateful relationship dealings. You’ll probably have to deal with the past in some significant way. Looking forward, you’re beginning something quite new and it’s very well done! Even now you can see its potential to connect you in valuable ways. Trust your instincts: they lead to the truth and what will truly be empowering.   

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, Earth signs: This month you are gathering your forces, working with your talents, but it’s a latent time in that you’re not presenting things, only developing and practicing them. What’s hidden from view now are new people and new directions that will have an influence on your location and future decisions. A new venture can be in the works that builds on what you’ve done but represents a new way of communicating or a new service or format. Even if what’s under wraps never saw the light of day, you are doing valuable developmental work for your future.
