This week’s astrology calls for us to be reflective and strategic. Mars in Sagittarius squares Saturn in Pisces on December 8th, making us flex and take charge. Mercury in Scorpio and Uranus retrograde in Taurus oppose each other on December 10th, making us act and think impulsively. Neptune in Pisces turns direct on December 10th, reliving our innermost dreams. Venus in Sagittarius and the Nodes of Destiny link up on December 11th, intensifying the pressure to commit to decisions in relationships. Mercury and Neptune harmonize on December 11th, confusing the plan of action we chose on the 10th. Mercury enters Sagittarius on the 11th, urging us to be candid and upfront with our words. Mercury and Pluto in Aquarius’s connection take these matters to the extreme on the 13th. Mars and Neptune confuse the planned and assessed steps to move our goals forward, so stay put and don't rush the process.

Aries

Trusting your instincts is the name of the game! A financial transaction can benefit you. Your drive for success will be unparalleled this week, opening many doors. Now it's time to let these major decisions transpire and take you up a whole different level along your career path. This will help bring you back to center and make it possible to take on the world without fear!

Taurus

This is a wonderful week for you to recover and implement changes, Taurus. Your outlook will take on a new level of awareness and can shift the focus towards your personal needs, including starting something more tangible for yourself. A great deal of autonomy is being asked of you now. This will allow you to utilize your gifts and talents through a mind-expanding opportunity.

Gemini

If you are looking for a new job or a partnership opportunity, now is the time for your courageous sign to shine. Taking offers that come in that seem unconventional appears to be the best way to direct your energy. As you move forward, ensure that the information being presented is accurate and factual to prevent any miscommunication. You definitely need to heed caution and keep going!

Cancer

There is plenty of luck with money and finances around this time, possibly surrounding an alliance. The week presents an opportunity to strengthen your resolve, releasing an old habit related to material possessions and making room for something new to emerge. You will experience tremendous upgrades and changes as a result. So, remember to keep your eye on the prize and don't lose sight of what's essential.

Leo

A great deal of autonomy is being asked of you now. Whether or not you own a business or you are generally working for yourself, allow Mercury’s shift into Sagittarius to open your mind to something out of the norm and bring financial well-being. You’ll be surprised how much you can inspire yourself to make proficient moves. You’ll be able to elevate your personal brand and take part in exciting projects.

Virgo

There is no way out of a sticky situation but through the muddy swamps that can seem like a circuitous path. For those going through major financial struggles, you will see a karmic flow and a return of your good deeds. This week is one of those game-changing periods for you that you will never forget. A gentle cosmic push releases pain, allowing you to take steps forward into a career-enhancing opportunity.

Libra

Many plans come into play that require lots of thought. Remember to stand your ground and speak your mind. Your name is being passed around behind closed doors, so be sure to check your email frequently. You are highly recommended and have a fantastic standing with professional contacts. The only caveat is that you may feel unsure of what road to take. Tread lightly!

Scorpio

You will feel as though your finances are in a good state. This will lead you to a good place when it comes to negotiations at work in contracts and payments, as you won’t have to push hard to get the amount of cash that you want from your superiors or the powers that be. You will find that everyone wants to spoil you with compliments and attention. Be aware of what needs to be done to maintain equilibrium.

Sagittarius

Your fiery ways are a little more subdued for the first few days of this week, as you are feeling more pensive than usual. Your business prospects aren't moving as fast as you would like, which is causing you to focus on creating things on a deeper level. This will be what serves your insatiable thirst for knowledge and desire to understand matters happening beneath the surface at this time.

Capricorn

Thoughts become things. Keep that in mind as you bring your ideas into action. The issue you will face is that you are focusing too much on what others have and not enough on how to get your unique gifts to light. It'll force you to put your money where your mouth is and allow you to start working on projects when you receive financial backing to do so. But the question is, “Are you ready?”

Aquarius

Don’t rush headlong into your plans or be impulsive until you're sure you can craft and create the best version of your dream for everyone to see. If you have faith in yourself and trust the process, then you will be able to bring such visions to fruition. For now, it’s best to focus on your agenda and map it out for guidance. Have patience and trust the process.

Pisces

Internal growth is happening, which can feel quite demanding and possibly overwhelming. You will be more engaged and connected to your desires on the 11th. Think of this time as your gift from the universe, allowing you to take on subjects you once considered taboo for yourself to study and learn about. These insights can help you build your career and enhance your public standing.
