December 2018

The fiery Sagittarius Sun until the 21st will make for a communicative, restless and adventurous few weeks. Grand plans and ambitious schemes will be aired though not all will be practical or realistic. Sagittarius likes to think big, can sometimes be dogmatically self-righteous but is usually optimistic and good at inspiring enthusiasm.

Week one will start lively, flirtatious and perhaps argumentative but it won’t be boring. There will be muddles with a few projects not going to plan. Though the New Moon will sweep aside uncertainty and any failures for a fresh start.

Venus in passionate, secretive and intense Scorpio will be joined by Mercury for a few days, so there’ll be discreet liaisons and whispered heart-to-hearts. And Venus’s seductive persuasion will continue on into early January.

Just after mid-month there’ll be a need for perseverance, persistence and a hard push to make progress. By the 20th there’ll be sudden positive surprise which will lift tensions and provide new opportunities. The final days will be ruled by practical, ambitious and traditionalist Capricorn. It may not all be singing and dancing since shadows of a troublesome January cast backwards will damp more indulgent moments.

PLANETARY ASPECTS:

1: Venus in Libra square Uranus – emotionally excitable, not want to be tied down by possessive partners, sudden insights.
