Emerald Energies - A Delightful Spiritual Retreat

Astroscope for December 2009 by Jenny Lynch

SAGITTARIUS

A delightful combination of Venus (in good aspect to sexy Mars and a new Moon in your sign), marks a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way that enhances your sex appeal and beauty! You'll be very busy this month, and luckily - feel energetic and enthusiastic as well! Because your ruler Jupiter is in favorable position to the new Moon, you can expect others will be willing to assist you in completing some personal transformation. This is a time to be brave, enjoy new experiences or try a new style that reflects your positive feelings. The only snag is Mercury going retrograde in your house of cash. Since the full Moon also activates your money flow, try not to over spend this holiday season!

CAPRICORN

Ruler Saturn squares off with Pluto at the time of the new Moon, indicating that you may have to make some important professional choices this month. Although you may come to an important decision about your future goals, it's best you wait until next month before you let others know where you stand. With Mercury retrograde (in your sign), you may change your mind or find new information coming your way, so give it some time. On a better note, Venus also enters your sign this Month, promising good times with loved ones. Singles find their popularity soars, making this an easy time to meet someone new. Romance wise - New Years Eve, could be really wonderful!

AQUARIUS

The new Moon in your most social sector makes this a great month to get out, network and be with friends. Single Aquarians may find romantic opportunities through group activities. This is also a time when a friendship could develop into a true love. Yet, once Mars goes retrograde in your house of partners, you may have to make an adjustment in effort to keep the peace. Otherwise, you could have a full out fight with someone! Also, the full Moon (on New Years Eve) requires special effort on your part to keep things nice. Ruler Saturn (in harsh aspect to this lunation), could cause a power struggle over something as minor as - to where or how to celebrate? You'd be wise to skip committing to any social event that doesn't feel right. Honoring your feelings is the best way to Celebrate!

PISCES

A new Moon in your tenth house of honors, along with lovely Venus is bound to boost your image this month! Expect favors and recognition to come your way. Also, you'll be able to get a lot done with Mars power housing in your work sector. Yet once Mars goes retro (December 20th) it will be hard to keep up or even stay focused on the job, so best to get most of your work done early this month. Romance wise - you're in the mood for someone healthy. If you already have a partner, you might enjoy sharing a fitness routine. An added plus is that Mercury will go retrograde in your house of friendship just before the New Year, meaning that you may have an emotional reunion of the best kind!

ARIES

This month, you desire to please and to be pleased! Ruler Mars in positive aspect to Venus at the time of the new Moon makes you feel passionate, warm, expressive, lively, and sexy. It's a good time for romance, and pleasure. Just before the holidays, Mars goes retrograde, allowing you to reconnect with loved ones from the past. Because Mars goes backward in your house of work and wellness, you may lack your usual discipline in these areas. It might be difficult for you to stick to your diet or even get much work done. Powerhouse early this month, (certainly before Mercury goes retrograde), so you can enjoy a guilt free holiday!

TAURUS

Ruler Venus touring your eight house of intensity, promises to make this a very emotional month! You may develop a new relationship that is quite deep and promising. Because Venus is in good aspect to Mars at the time of the new Moon, you will find even current relationships take on a more positive spin. Financially - things are looking up and since others are more willing to assist you, you'll find yourself on the receiving end. You're likely to be very emotional this New Years Eve, so make a plan to spend it with someone uplifting, who can share your sentiment!

GEMINI

Of course communication is your forte, but you'd be wise listen and welcome input from others now. This month, while ruler Mercury tours your ninth house of purpose and clarity, you could benefit immensely from the insight of another. Especially and because - Mercury goes retrograde at the end of this month, communications from or with someone far away may for ever change your perspective. What you seek most right now, is greater understand of your role in life. Romantically, this is a fine time for all your relationships. While Venus tours your house of partners, singles have a good chance of meeting someone delightful and new!

CANCER

This month's New Moon (in your sixth house) marks a wonderful time to begin a new diet, health routine or make improvements at the work place. You're all about taking care of business and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing now. You have a desire to sort things out, but also to be useful. The full Moon on New Years Eve is bound to put you in the spot light. You'll feel warm and fuzzy at celebration parties - expect lots of hugs and kisses. With Venus touring your house of partners, you will be very appreciated by loved ones. If single, this is a time when you could meet an ideal mate!

LEO

The new Moon in your fifth house, sparks your creative and romantic possibilities! As a result you may decide to create or gift talents, instead of buying things for others. You could also have lots of fun with your partner or even find a new love this month! With Mars in Leo, you're radiating the best qualities of your sign - strength, courage and confidence. That is, until Mars goes retrograde (December 20th). It will be harder to marshal your energy and get things done then. Best to make a big dash towards completing projects before that time, so you can kick back later on. You'll be playful and in the mood to celebrate in style, this holiday season!

VIRGO

Home and family will be your primary focus this holiday season! A new Moon in your domestic sector promises good times and new beginnings, that will make you feel more safe and secure. Therefore - it's a wonderful time to strengthen your close personal ties and also reorganize or even remodel your home environment. With ruler Mercury touring your fifth house of romance and creativity, you will delight spending time with others that like the same kind of movies or music as you. Yet, because your ruler Mercury goes into retrograde motion this month, you may also be surprised by your change of taste! Trying something new - promises delight!

LIBRA

Better hold onto your hat - because this is going to be one busy month! If you're not shopping, shelpping or running a ton of errands, you'll be on the phone or the Internet trying to keep up! Luckily the new Moon in your third house of communication, makes you capable of handling a great amount of dispatch! And with Ruler Venus there as well, the tone of your communications is likely to be more pleasing than usual. This is a great month to take short trips or even begin a new study. If single, you'll enjoy the company of witty types. The combination of the full Moon and Mercury retro in your fourth (most personal sector means), your best bet for a New Years celebration is to invite others home or catch up with people from the past!

SCORPIO

With ruler Mars at the top of your chart, you'll be able to make great strides in your profession this month! Venus and a new Moon in your house of cash, is another reason to cheer, as you may benefit from hearing about a new job, business opportunity/prospect or bonus check! Yet just before the holidays - once Mars goes retro, you'll appreciate having some down time to enjoy your personal life more. If single, you could meet someone very successful while your ruler is in favorable aspect to Love planet Venus. Mercury retrograde in your third house of communication, may make you wonder about many things. If someone proves testy during this phase, you may decide to distance yourself from them by the end of the month!
