End of Year Forecast Aries: Never one to be cast aside and forgotten, the month of December sees you regrouping after a few tumbles and working out in your mind how you are going to regain what you have lost and make headway with your future plans. Unlike Alexander the Great, there are new worlds for you to conquer, for if there were not your sign would have no reason to exist. Still, while you might be the first one to quit and walk (or run)away rather than go down with the ship, you are the last one to surrender and say you are beaten. You possess a quality that most of us are starving for--you remain positive and upbeat in the darkest of moments. That resilient, almost unconquerable spirit of yours can serve you well during this cycle and you are bound to be noticed appreciated and very possibly supported in your advancement. While you can be confrontational at times, we love you more than ever for that never say die attitude that has become your trademark.
Taurus: Neither your work nor your life is going as well as you would like. The various frustrations of the day-to-day cause you to look beyond and to fathom what you can do to meet your standards. You can be easygoing but not necessarily easy to please because frankly you feel deep down inside that you deserve better, or is that you deserve more than what the universe is delivering to you. Did you forget that you exist in a world in the midst of great change and change is not always comfortable? Perhaps by clinging to yesterday's comforts, you have limited your ability to bring your ideals further down-to-earth. Rather than immersing yourself in the information of the popular culture, move out of that artificial reality and begin to open up and download the real deal from the higher planes of the cosmos.
Gemini: Change is not as much the challenge for you as it is for many of the other signs. You like to make adjustments and alter your path as often as you can. Sometimes, however, it seems as if you swing way out of balance and that is when acting crazy begins to look more like losing your sanity. The real issue this time around revolves around relationship. In matters of the heart, you might as well be picking off the petals of a daisy, figuring out if there is any love left in a relationship that may have run its course or perhaps just needs a transfusion of energy. In business interactions, it may look great on paper yet something is amiss. The solution is one that may be tougher for you than anyone--stick with your intentions, stay true to what you believe in and the space you need can and will open up for you. Run out of patience, on the other hand, and you might as well close up shop and take a vacation. Your hopes and dreams, however, are likely to fall by the wayside from sheer neglect should you make that choice. All things considered, changing horses in midstream is seldom a good idea.
Cancer: You are bracing yourself for a cycle in which other people are calling the shots and you have but two choices--compliance or withdrawal. If you opt for the former, you could ride a wave of success you may have never thought possible but the latter choice will probably leave you out in the cold. So you really do not have much of a choice because this time around it is very much in your best interests to cooperate with the folks who have the authority and the clout to use it successfully. Think of yourself as an actor (or actress) on a stage. The lines have already been written for you, the director has instructed you how to play the role and the audience has a certain expectation that you would be wise to come as close to meeting as possible. You are part of a drama that is not only larger than your life but larger than life in general and the world trusts that your well developed sense of personal responsibility will support you in transcending any and all resistance and exercising the self-discipline that enables you to come through with flying colors.
Leo: You are fired-up to make some electrifying changes in your life and then you think it might be better to wait until after the New Year, as if those pressing concerns have anything to do with what is on a calendar. If you are self-employed, the ship you are running could be tighter; if you are an employee, expect the boss to be demanding and if you are unemployed, mercy child, what is the matter with you? You are approaching a make-or-break situation in your life or perhaps you have already reached that point, yet once again it is time to stop play acting, get real and speak what your heart insists be said. If you are holding on for dear life to ways and means that no longer deliver what you really need, blame this on your fondness for people and things that used to make you feel warm all over and now leave you cold...and still you will not let go. By clinging to the obsolete, you are shutting out the chance for something new to enter your life and light-up the fires of your heart once again.
Virgo: If you think you are running out of the resourcefulness that is needed to keep your ship afloat, look in places that are not so obvious for solutions to your problems. There is more creative energy available than you may know but you have to trust those impulses of yours as having some value instead of tearing apart every idea that has not been tested 100 times already. If the old routines still worked, you and the rest of the world might be in a more secure place. Since yesterday's sure thing is today's risky business, you might as well go with a strategy that is close at hand and camera ready than with ideas that others say are bound to yield successful results and then fail to measure up to expectations. Success for you is as much a matter of innovation, as it is adhering to formula`s that worked once and keep trying to doing it again. What we call luck may be 90% perspiration; however, it is the part that is 10% inspiration that will win the day.
Libra: A course in self-assertiveness would not be a bad idea, especially as issues in the domestic area require an extra display of self-force. While you can be as fragile as a butterfly, as gracious as a good will ambassador and as charming as a prince or princess, you also have a militant streak. Stop concealing it and start running your household, your life and your dear sweet self with an extra measure of discipline. There is spiritual support to guide you in making sure that as you draw the line, the characters in your movie fall into line. Their recalcitrant behaviour is inexcusable and someone has to lay down the law. That someone is you and it is just the beginning of your coming into your power as never before. The whole world is swinging either too far right or too left. Your mission is to bring as many people as you can closer to center. Good luck!
Scorpio: Being at the mercy of others is possibly your worst nightmare. That is why you are grabbing the reins of power and jockeying yourself into a position where no one has power over you. Some of the information coming from the outside is causing you to have second thoughts about your current strategies. Since you are not sure about the best course to take, the detective in you is hard at work, penetrating to the core of the issues you are currently contending with and getting to the answers that will chase the darkness away. You want more than answers; you want the edge in your negotiations so that when all is said and done, you come out the victor. Still victory may prove to be hollow if you have eliminated the things that later you discover were more precious to you than that which you have been fighting to retain.
Sagittarius: The more you interact with the world and listen to various opinions that people you know have, the more you realize how incorrect some of their assumptions are. Like the scout who heads into the unknown to discover a better way, you are on a quest to realize what really matters to you. Others may pat you on the back and sing your praises for what they perceive to be wonderful accomplishments on your part and perhaps they are right. Still, you are looking at a bigger picture. What the people you encounter think is great, to you is but a mere stepping stone to something a whole lot greater. When you finally arrive at your destination and reveal what you have found, then others can raise their sights, elevate their standards and understand that the road ahead is filled with wondrous things and it is foolish beyond words to want to go back to where we used to be.
Capricorn: No stranger to the taking on of responsibility, this cycle is going to dole out to you an extra measure of it. You are in a more than usual serious frame of mind (and that is serious indeed.) Is this the darkness before the dawn you are passing through or a sinister foreboding of things to come? Not wanting to sink into a state of pessimistic histrionics (you would hate yourself in the morning); at the same time, you want to take every precaution that the bottom is not going to fall out and that the whole mess that is swirling around you can be resolved as long as you stay calm. You are a beacon of light in a society that is standing in its own shadow and your strength is an inspiration to us all. If you do not let us down, the rest of us will do our best to keep our heads above water. Without putting too much pressure upon you, know how much your energy counts at a period of time when it is most needed.
Aquarius: Famed as the world changer of the zodiac, a feat accomplished by telling the truth, you may discover that for the moment the world does not want to be changed. Remember the play by Somerset Maugham where the lady walked along the beach en route to a lustful encounter with a man of the cloth no less. She stopped to gaze up at the heavens and cried out, "Oh lord, save me, save me—but not right now." That is where the world is at and so the brakes are on for revolutionaries such as you whose minds are processing information at a higher frequency. Want a suggestion? Forget your radical agenda for the time being; hang out with some fun people and during this holiday season--have a blast. Then when the party winds down and soon after Mercury goes direct in mid-January, your messages and their meaning will carry a lot more weight.
Pisces: As the mystic of the Zodiac, you see what no other sign does and what you see is unleashing the most amazing ideas that have ever popped out of your head. Of course, those ideas originated from another dimension before you downloaded them so you really cannot take all the credit and you are too humble to do so anyway. On a more personal level, you are bending over backwards to get along with the people in your life and accommodating their wishes while you keep on thinking you might be happier away from them. Ah the two fishes that symbolize your sign explain the process you are undergoing. One part of you wants to love the world and everyone in it forever and ever. Another part of you wants to morph into a spiritual being that thrives on its own energy and is already whole and complete. What is going to work for you now and perhaps always is to give both parts equal measure in your life.
