December Forecast 2010
By Gwynne Mayer

December is loaded with ups and downs so stay tuned. Lance Rodriguez and I will be going over these changes on our Astrotalk, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/astrotalk. on December the 5th and 19th, Sundays at 7-9PM Central Time. As always when reading the forecasts, we encourage you to read your Ascendant (personality/ego) first, your, Moon (comfort zone) second and your Sun Sign (soul) last. You can always go to my website and order a print out, cheaply so that you can see your set up. http://www.gwynivere.com . We have some interesting dynamics coming up this month, especially as the north node and Pluto dance with each other in the sign of Capricorn and create some critical energy around the transiting Mars. This will be affecting all of the cardinal signs, Capricorn, Cancer, Libra and Aries. You all have houses that are affected by those signs, not to mention that some of your planets are in those signs as well. Mercury will turn Retrograde on the 11th of December and go Direct on the 30th. Uranus will now go in forward motion in the latter degrees of Pisces and move on toward Aries. This direct motion will begin on the 6th of the month. So changes will be finishing up for the Pisces and getting ready for changes toward dear Aries toward the Spring. Astrology is a fascinating study in 'process' because we are constantly evolving in toward new states of consciousness, both in our political and personal lives. We will briefly look through the signs and see what your basics have to look forward to for December.

Aries --- Aries are trying to adapt to the changes that seem to be happening around the goals and dreams, friends are also changing and are not what they seem to be. It is time to take care of health concerns and any areas of your personal life that needs change and new 'eyes' with which to see more clearly. Dramatic differences of opinions are occurring in the area of career and what you had hoped for so be sure not to get cross or out of sorts with those in authority at this time. You will have to keep your thoughts to yourself for awhile so that you don't unnecessarily rock the boat. You have great partnerships and those who could possibly bring some awareness your way, however you are not communicating that well lately and have moved into a more silent approach to life. Maybe it is time for introspection and being clear with what you want out of your life. The next two years are very important about setting standards and now is the time you want to prepare and make lists of the things that are most important to you. Stay close to your partner this month and watch out for any miscommunications.

Taurus --- Taurus is redesigning the way they want their intimate life to look and feel. The sensuous connections to how you feel are very important this month. Looking at finances and tightening up on your budget will be beneficial toward the end of the month. Many of your expenditures before Christmas will come to haunt you at the very end of the year and you will be paying for those splurges through next spring so watch what you do now in reference to your budget and your career moves. You need to rethink the career goals and set new priorities for yourself, making sure that you come out the winner and not the slave who works for a little here and there. That doesn't fit well with your modus operendi. You have some artistic talents that need to be used….to your benefit. Also watching those areas of health and nutrition will help you gain strength and healing energy toward the spring. Make some New Years Resolutions that will benefit you body, mind and soul and stick with it!

Gemini --- Gemini's are having some past life karmic happenings going on right now, so if you know someone who can help you get in touch with your soul issues, now is the time to find out what is going on. You have been confused in relationships and seem to be attracting some energy your way that is not intended. Some intimate people in your life may have created some major problems and now you are confused as to how to handle your communication with them. Be honest and forthright and say what you mean, not what you think they want to hear. You will need to hold your temper in many respects this holiday season so that you can keep somewhat calm and centered while you are addressing the chaos going on around you. It might be well for you to focus on your home life and also the areas in your home that need some renovating. It will definitely pay off at the end of 2011 but will need some work and perseverance on your part. You have a great creative mind so make use of it to your advantage and keep a check on your temper. All will turn out well if you can do those few things to make your holiday more pleasurable.

Cancer --- Cancer has been struggling with some feelings lately, feelings that have been locked inside their very sensitive souls and wanting to break free. You are feeling on the edge of some major breakthroughs and you will be surprised at how much easier it might be for you in the next year, without the partner(s) that have caused you so much stress. Either you have gone through a major adaptation or the partner(s) have made tremendous changes in their own behaviors. You will find yourself more focused and organized at work, especially if you quietly go about your business and not get distracted by all the dramas around you. Just keep on a steady course as you maneuver through the holidays and you will find rewards as the New Year opens the door. You might be finding a new way of communicating with your loved ones at this time, being more open and honest about your feelings and your expectations. See how much more clearly you can focus on the future if you come out of your secrecy and state your situation and your perception. You don't have to live up to others expectations …….you are a wise and sensitive nurturing soul, so give yourself some credit.

Leo --- Leo's must pay close attention to health issues and utilize wise dietary methods to treat the aches and pains, especially around the back and the circulatory system. Losing a few pounds never hurt anyone and that might just be your ticket to health and happiness. There are a few lonely days during December, but remember you set the standard for your way of life and the only one who can change it is YOU! You are focused around fun and frolic, but don't overdo it as you are prone to do. Set your boundaries and set them well so that you are not over exerting yourself. Find a way to get on a new health regimen so that you will be healthily enjoying your holidays with those who love you and want the best of your great energy and entertainment. You are a loving and regal soreul and it would be a shame to let your health or need for solitude interfere with the holiday plans. Show your best side to your children and grandchildren as they love the attention they get from you and the joy and humor that set such a role model for the future. Have fun and be healthy.

Virgo --- Virgo's are too busy to probably read this, however, they need to relax and count the minutes and days that this year 2010 will end. Their worries won't be behind them, however they might look on 2011 with new eyes and see that some changes need to be made that will affect their children and their home life. A change of environment will be a good thing toward the first of the year.. That might mean that we need to leave some love ones and either return home or be closer to family …..either way it means a change is coming and one for which we must be prepared. Get rid of the clutter and make room for some new ideas that will give you a fresh start, whatever decisions you are about to make. You have made your budget work for you and have found new ways to save money and lead a simpler life. That will bring greater clarity all those close to you and especially to you as your dreams have been leading the way whether you know it or not. You are in the process of making wise decisions that will affect your family and those you love in the future. There also might be a romance waiting in the wings, whichever decision you make.

Libra --- Librans are learning to confront the things that are bothering them the most. They are no longer trying to keep the peace at their own cost of mental stability. So you might see a few angry Libra's around. The time has come for them to 'settle up' with the things owed to them, but more than that it is time for them to own their own authority and to set standards by which to live. Life has been rough for the early degrees of Libra and is getting there for the latter degrees. Making a commitment to self is very important at this time which means that you might be either committing to a new relationship or getting out of an old one. The time is now for you to decide what the next seven years will be like for you and have a plan in place before the beginning of the New Year. We all learn in cycles, this cycle being a big learning curve for you and your other cardinal brothers and sisters. Pay attention to your budget, decide what you are worth and make sure you get paid for those things in some form of monetary means. You are also considering doing less for more and that sounds reasonable especially at this time. Take it easy on your dietary needs during the holiday and keep in shape so that you don't shut down your system because you are 'overdoing' it.

Scorpio --- Scorpios are thinking on new terms about their future as they have done much reflecting through the last several months and have come to grips with what they want in the very near future as to money, investments, relationships and family matters. It is a good time for Scorpio to make a plan and stick to it, not to be distracted by the drama around the family and work place. Let each have his/her own drama without your interference or intervention. You are certainly in a new mind set about ideas and what to do for future endeavors and that can be fun for you to contemplate. Have a plan in place before the New Year so that you can hit the road at top speed in the area of career and money making. Your health should be monitored and any over drinking, eating or even exercising can cause some strain on your system. Balance and nutrition are what will keep you up and running. You might run into some money problems between the 10th and 30th of the month, but that will easily work itself out in January so keep positive thoughts coming in that regard. You are right on about your feedback to others and it is important for others to hear your words of wisdom so keep them coming!

Sagittarius --- Sagittarius is watching their budgets this month and trying to take control of their spending. They also have had a few insights in the last three months about how much energy they exert and what the rewards are for that energy. It will be wise during their birthday month to pay attention the immediate needs of family and home, not to be distracted by friends and their dramas, especially between December 10th and 30th. New insights on career matters may be taking formation and new ways of making money that have previously been put aside. This is a good month to take control of these issues and set some new guidelines as to how you want to proceed. Watch for issues around commitment that have been lurking and see if now is the time to make a long term contract with either career matters or a significant other. Your health should be taking shape and giving you more energy. Just don't push the envelope as you are prone to do and watch those minor aches and pains so that they don't become major obstacles for the holidays. Have a safe and prosperous holiday this year.

Capricorn --- Capricorns are reeling from all the hits by our dear Pluto. The good news is you have learned some major lessons on how to conserve your energy and make the most of your inner worlds. Reflecting and connecting with your inner life has been important, trying to decide how you want your life to take shape in all of its forms. This can be a frustrating month for you when Mercury goes retrograde, on December 10th and doesn't turn direct until December 30th. Try to accomplish the things you want for the holidays before that time and then take some deep breaths and relax during the retrograde motion. Resting and catching up on your sleep will help you tremendously as it will augment your immune system and take care of some of the health issues that you have been having. Don't push yourself during the holidays and be mind full of your family and significant other so you don't cause them any more frustration than you already have. You seem to be on your last nerve, so pay attention to that and stay calm and learn ways of meditation that will help you later to be more amenable to change and good health. Set your standards high, but you live up to them and don't drive others nuts to meet your needs. Take care Capricorn, this has been a difficult year and discipline is the key here.

Aquarius --- Aquarians have a form of second sight through this month, a psychic intuitive hit on what is right and wrong for them so they need to pay attention to their hunches. This involved boundaries about people in your environment who have caused you unneeded stress and drama. You need to focus on your own immediate issues; love, money and health and pay attention to what is going on around you to foster those issues or detract from them. You will have a possibility to make and invest more money in the near future so budget accordingly and save up for a rainy day as there will be a few in 2011. Your family may want much of your attention during this month so make sure you are spending enough time resting up for the big celebrations and make sure they also do their part. You are not a slave to anyone and you never have been so don't make their needs come before your own. Fun and celebration should be the keynotes for you this month. No one said that you can't become a child again and enjoy that childlike innocence that you have always had, it makes you the pleasurable person to be around for others as well. Have a great holiday Aquarius.

Pisces --- Pisces is learning meaning lessons in patience and fortitude. Love life may take some twists and turns that one might not expect, but hang in there because 'the one' is close by and might even be waiting for you on your doorstep. Around the new moon on December 5th you will most probably hear about some career or job changes that will be coming immediately or in the very near future. You have to state your wishes as no one can read your mind so it is important for you to be clear in your communications which may be a problem between the 10th and 30th of the month. Surprises await you and your life may take on new spiritual meanings that you have always wanted so stay tuned to YOURSELF! Broaden your base of friendships as you are not the easiest person to befriend. Trust and believe in yourself and your ability to form long lasting relationships. Trust your instincts as well and know that they will tell the truth in the long run. If you have lost sight of your instincts, now is the time for some serious prayers or meditations. You are a blessed and good soul; it is time to cash in on your karmic rewards.
