December Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Scorpio Horoscope (October 23 - November 21)
Fixed Water. Your ruling planets are Mars and Pluto.

This is a time of great ferment in your life, Scorpio, and yet a moment of calm can also prevail. Your future is still coming at you like an express train and the ultimate form remains unknown, but through it all you are continuing to pave the road toward your eventual realignment. This is definitely a time of consolidation of previous gains, as epiphanies abound regarding finding your true calling in this world. Relationship is one key to this time period and the resources at your disposal are another, and you are getting clear that it is vital to bridge the gap between them. You have been to the mountain and now are bent on incorporating the lessons learned into a more graceful and conscious act of sharing yourself with others.

As the month begins, you are feeling your way forward into a future that you can really live with. There is a certain degree of planning involved but much of this effort is seat-of-the-pants intuitional steering, so you might need to be prepared to let go of logic in favor of gut reactions. Even though it runs against the grain of consensus thinking, you may well find that you can trust your inner guidance to pull you through. With Mercury retrograde in your sector of values and resources it is also a reflective time. It is not a good time to take direct action, or to move ahead with a brand-new idea. Instead it is useful to be gathering yourself and your information preparing for more aggressive action after the beginning of the year. You are also likely to be dealing with financial issues now, perhaps involving significant partners or family members, or perhaps a business partner. The deeper meaning of finances and of your values generally could be the more important thing to think about as you mull over the events of your life. With the advent of the First Quarter Moon of late Thursday night, December 1st, and early Friday morning, you are at some kind of crossroads. There is tension in your process now, and also energy for pushing forward with at least the analysis of what you are attempting. squares abound; and you can perhaps see more clearly the obstacles than the advantages, although both sides are present at this juncture in your sky picture. The Full Moon takes place a week later, on Saturday, December 10th, and it is also a Lunar Eclipse and therefore more powerful. The message of this phase � representing one culmination period of the current lunation cycle � is to avoid judgment and to try to take a positive position for the most part, without worrying too much about consequences, in spite of tendencies that you might have to take the opposing side of the equation. You could also find that for best results you need to include the viewpoint of others in your ultimate determination. With the Last Quarter Moon of Saturday, December 17th, you are in a mode of review and reflection according to the phase, and enhanced by the slowness of Mercury as it regains its lost Zodiacal longitude, gradually getting back on track at month�s and year�s end. There is also a remarkably indeterminate nature to the proceedings right now, that will improve somewhat with the advent of the subsequent Winter Solstice and December 24th New Moon. You might just have to learn to live with the paradoxical nature of these times. It is equally true for instance that everything is lost and also its opposite: that we as a culture are on the road to recovery. Both viewpoints have merit. You win when you can let logic go and accept it that there is more to the events of your life than meets the eye. When the New Moon does finally dawn on Christmas Eve it provides fresh energy for your process. This is a time of bringing the help of important others to your own deeply felt intuitive self-council for an enhanced total picture.
