Arguments are easy to fall into this Christmas Eve as feisty Mars and the Sun butt heads. Don't push the envelope (if you can help it). Things relax as a Cancer moon and harmonious Venus make for a happy and cozy Christmas morning. Expect a loud and boisterous Christmas dinner as a party-hearty Leo moon takes over in the evening.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You're more talk than action as Mars in retrograde continues to throw a wrench into your plans. Know that if your ideas aren't materializing as quickly as you'd like (warp speed being your usual preference) there's still some fine-tuning to be done. You're more than ready for a little fresh inspiration and perspective mid-month. Classes, seminars and travel all fit the bill and open the mind. Even thinking about a winter getaway soothes the soul right about now! Take off December 8th, 9th or 18th.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Holiday shopping feels more like a sport than an obligation this year. You couldn't be happier picking out just the right things for those you love, mostly because you've got the funds to do it! An investment yields more profit than you thought or an insurance/legal settlement comes through after the 9th. You're feeling flush and you want to share your good fortune with those closest to you. Consider re-investing some of that good fortune though, or you'll be amazed at how quickly it disappears!
Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
You're playing in the big leagues now. You feel you're finally moving forward and attracting the right people into your life. Your career gets a boost because of whom you know and a business partnership with the right person could catapult you into a very powerful position. December 9th to 16th is loaded with opportunity, and not just in business. Looking for love? Say yes to all holiday party invites. What better reason to invest in a new party dress? December 8th, 9th and 31st look especially promising.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
You've got that fun, fearless female thing going on this month. Mars retrograde in your sign gives a harder edge to your usual soft and smooth crablike shell. You're gutsy, there's no doubt about it, and focused on a goal. Health, diet and fitness are high on your priority list. Maybe there's a beach holiday calling your name and you're adamant to get into bikini shape! Your one-pointed efforts yield amazing results, especially if you put your plan into play after the December 9th new moon.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
No one loves a good party more than a Leo does (except for maybe a Sag), which is why you love the holidays. The planets are lighting up your fun and pleasure sector like a Christmas tree! Love and family are part and parcel of a happy holiday as far as you're concerned, and there's plenty to go around. Your connection with a child deepens now, or you could receive happy pregnancy news around the 16th. Romance remains light-hearted early in the month, but turns into something more serious (commitment?) after the 21st.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
Like it or not, Mars in retrograde puts you back in touch with an old pal this holiday season. There's a stellar opportunity to mend fences here, so at least remain open to the possibility. You'll likely get more family than you bargain for over the holidays this year. A sibling or relative shows up unexpectedly, or you need to make room for the in-laws who really would like to stay a few extra days! You're secretly pleased, even if it does mean all that extra work.
