December Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Aquarius Horoscope (January 20 - February 18)
Fixed Air. Your ruling planets are Uranus and Saturn.

This is an exciting time for you, Aquarius. Your oncoming next phase includes forming a new vision of the world around you as well. Your work in the world is currently blossoming along with your finances, but what might prove to be even more important is everything that is going on behind the scenes. You are coming to a new conception of the interaction with the emotional riches at the deepest levels of your being, and simultaneously looking in as well as looking out. After the mid-month New Moon you will be full of schemes to pursue, and it is important that you pursue them, but you are also in the process of becoming increasingly aware that mystical ideas rule.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave from the middle of last month of the New Moon in your career sector. You are on the one hand very gung ho right now and bullish on getting things accomplished, but on the other you are simultaneously more dreamy and not entirely of this world. There is a mystical sense of idealism present in you these days, bordering on illusion, that is appealing but perhaps not as practical and grounded as you would like, and that counters a more realistic approach to getting where you actually want to be. The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, December 8th, may present you with a moment of tension in your process of growth and change. Perspective shifts with increased awareness. You are dealing with the input of others around you in a new way and there could be glitches to contend with. You may also be facing up to old wounds from the past to your self-esteem, and attempting to move beyond them. Nothing that exists within your psyche is exactly as it seems, and you are never angry for the reason that you think you are. At the time of the New Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Wednesday, December 16th, there is fresh energy for your various approaches. This is a terrific time of visioning a more fulfilling future for yourself. You are seeing more clearly right now into a future that you can really live with, and you have plenty of energy for starting to complete this vision, although the window of time to act is short, since you will probably slow down into a more contemplative stance when Mars and Mercury retrograde toward the end of the month. There is a unique path toward wholeness that is opening up for you right now and it is your task to find it. When the First Quarter Moon appears in the following week, on Thursday, December 24th, there are likely to be some bumps in the road as you better discern what does and doesn�t work for you, and as you absorb the systemic difficulties in your approach. Both wide-eyed idealism and practical considerations spur you on. Your vision is powerful for you now, and tips you toward the idealistic side of the equation. Still, you can�t expect to push the river in this last week of the month. You are entering into a quiet period of time when gazing within and meditating on your situation is more productive than trying to push things through to completion. Mercury retrogrades on the 26th, and Mars has already been retrograde for a week by this time, the Sun has entered your sector of inner imagination and all three of these configurations indicate a period more suited to introspection. The Lunar Eclipse of New Years Eve, December 31st, also finds you more attuned to inner than to outer realms. This will be a contemplative and thought-provoking New Year celebration as you ease into the largely unknown territory of 2010.
