2015 Business Planner Using Astrology

2015 will be an interesting year. I definitely see this as a year that power will shift and move around – hopefully into good hands. I have put together a general overview of good and not so good times to move forward with big projects and business launches.

There is definitely more to it – the timing has to be right in your personal and/or business chart for success. And there shades of grey and finer details to consider. But here is a general overview for the year. Look for white space in the chart below for better days to move forward with big plans.

As well, If you are in the day to day of your business you may want to consider if any of these times will affect what you’re doing.

First Quarter (Jan, Feb, March)

The biggest problem with Q1 is the Pluto/Uranus square.  That will happen exactly on March 16th. But leading up to it there are many ‘triggers’; The New moon Jan 4th  forms a square to it.  On March 11 Mars is conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. And the eclipse on April 4th will also be conjunct Uranus and square Pluto. It’s a volatile period of time. It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t move forward with plans during the clear days, but the second half of the year is going to look quite different from the first.  After the mercury retrograde period is complete in February there are some days wide open. But depending on your business you might want to consider what the volatility will mean for you. Pluto and Uranus are tearing down the status quo in business, government, the steel industry, currency and banking. If you are emerging with new approaches and technologies, this may be a good time. If you are forging ahead with the status quo, you will need to be thorough in your research and investigate whether the approach is still working.

Second Quarter (April, May, June)

April May and June has lots of red flag days as well as retrogrades. In general the red flag days are when important planets are in a square to one another, especially to Neptune. Neptune creates a fog and confuses things. If its mercury – it’s the products and communications, Venus -cash flow, and mars brings up problems with strategy or the motivation of staff.

Here’s a list of the exact dates. If you are launching something big you will also want to avoid the days surrounding it (shown on the chart in light grey):

  • Mercury square Neptune (May 9th, 29th, June 23rd and Nov 25th) – this is a time when wires are cross or there may even be outright lies.
  • Venus Square Neptune (April 19th) – Problems with cash flow will be inherent or an inability at some point to be able to pay the bills.
  • Mars square Neptune (May 25th) – a lack of motivation with employees, difficulty with strategy and strategic planning or the inability to follow through with strategy.

Mercury is also retrograde during this quarter from May 18th – June 11th. Again, it’s a time to avoid starting anything new especially if it has to do with communications (written, spoken, internet) or travel.

Third Quarter (July, Aug, Sept)

The last couple of days of June and into July are good times to move forward with major launches or incorporation plans. If you want to take advantage of the energy of Jupiter in Leo, this is a good time for those endeavours – This includes recreation, entertainment or anything that creates fun. Also leadership types of business, products and services.

Fourth Quarter (Oct, Nov, Dec)

Venus is retrograde for 40 days beginning July 25th.  This is not a good time for spending, product launches – Especially anything to do with the beauty industry and food type products (as it will be in cancer).

Also, during August the energy will change considerably. First Jupiter and Saturn will square on August 3rd. This signals a turn in the economy. It’s a purging, letting go, clearing out the old stage of the current cycle. Spending might slow down and it can look like we don’t have much, but it’s creating fertile ground for the new. This is a time will that will lead up to an economic shift in 2020 with these two will conjunct and start a new economic cycle.

On the 12th of August Jupiter will move into Virgo, leaving behind the fun and good times of Leo. It will go into the more serious health and service centered sign of Virgo.  Other areas that will see expansion during Jupiter in Virgo include the military, drug companies, any company that focuses on efficiency and any service related industry.  Jupiter will be in Virgo for a year, until Sept 10th, 2016.

Mercury is retrograde during this period November 21st – 28th

* pink shaded days are solar/lunar eclipses – these are often times when things can change, seemly out of the blue. Not good times to move forward with new initiatives, but definitely times to respond if need be.

January Horoscope 2015

2014-12-31 09.57.37Happy New Year!

January marks a huge turning point. There will be lots of emotion released, but what I love about January is that seeds planted this month will have so much potential. It may not seem like much. We might discount it because there will be so much other stuff going on… but what we put out this month will have powerful potential to come to fruition.

January starts with Mars opposite Jupiter on New Years day. The energy of the first day of the year says a lot about how the year will pan out. It’s like that sentence at the beginning of the story that foreshadows the plot. When you read it, you don’t quite know the significance, but later in the story your mind flashes back to that sentence and you realize that the author has warned you, warmed you up, and prepared you.

Mars opposite Jupiter foreshadows insistent energy that can create conflicts if left unfocused. If it’s focused, this energy can be directed into positive enterprises with positive outcomes. The key to this transit is consciousness and planned selfless action. Spend New Year’s Day not just setting goals for the year, but really discovering what is driving you toward those goals. Aligning them with a higher purpose will be a good use of energy. Make SMARTE (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Time bound, Evolved) goals rather than just SMART goals.

The Full Moon on the 4th is in Cancer and will line up with Pluto, Uranus, and the North Node. The tension will bring out the clingy, emotionally manipulative, or the fiercely protective mama energy of Cancer. This Full Moon will open up the wounds of the continuing saga of the Pluto/Uranus square. That square has been unsettling for government, big business, and has been upsetting the status quo with fierce backlash from various angles. The Full Moon’s connection with the North Node means that there will be attempts to settle the score. If you find yourself with a handprint across your face from mama, before you retaliate, ask yourself if maybe it was warranted? If it wasn’t… take some time to ponder her perspective. The North Node in Libra will help us make a balanced assessment.

On the same day, Saturn (newly in Sagittarius) makes one of its first connections with Venus and Mercury which have joined together in Aquarius. They bring out the diplomatic mediator energy and will brief Saturn on a humanitarian agenda. They will also give some new and inventive tips on how to move forward. Take heart that whatever moves Saturn makes will be made with good judgment.

32439334_sThe Full Moon and Pluto will also connect with Chiron. Again, the potential for healing is huge this month. The trick will be to allow ourselves to feel. Yes, our emotions might be intense. And yes, there may be a tendency to want to run or lash out. But if we sit with and process our emotions, much can be accomplished.

Luckily on Jan 7th, Mercury will make a positive aspect to Pallas and these two together will give us some perspective on what just happened. They’ll also help us look strategically and communicate tactically (the strategy is the what, the tactic is the how).

Mars will enter Pisces on Jan 12th until Feb 19th. The more our tactics incorporate a spiritual and intuitive approach, the more successful we will be. Otherwise we may get lost in indecisiveness.

Uranus will kick it up a notch between Jan 13/14th. It will help Venus and Mercury come up with more inventive ideas and new approaches to communicating and making money. We can get started on these ideas right away when these two connect with the North Node on the 14/15th, a time when we will work well together in our tribes and make fortunate connections. Though this energy is great for coming up with great and inventive ideas, it can be a little inflexible if opposed. We might experience this a bit from our significant others at this time. Try to be as flexible as possible without giving up on your hopes and dreams. Mars will also square Saturn on the 15th which can throw in some ‘Debbie downer’ energy and self-righteous road blocks. Take them with grace. Criticism and roadblocks often show up to help us consider things we might have missed or to help us slow down our pace. By the 17th, Uranus makes a positive aspect with marriage asteroid Juno – this opens our partnerships to change and our patience and flexibility will have paid off.

On January 19th, Venus will oppose Jupiter. It’s a day when we might be tempted to go over the top with spending and self indulgence. With this energy, I’ll remind you not to count your chickens before they have hatched. On the same day Mars will join together with Neptune. Really it’s a day that we will have a tendency to make poorly thought-out decisions. A better use of the energy is to direct it toward charitable and selfless actions.

The New Moon on Jan 20th will be in Aquarius. The New Moon will be making a positive connection with Saturn in Sagittarius. New Moons are a great time to set intentions and, with this connection to Saturn, success will come if we direct our energy toward new approaches to learning, teaching, a legal situation, or travel.

Pluto squares the North Node on January 21st the same day that Mercury goes retrograde. This transition marks a turning point on matters that have been brewing. Mercury going retrograde on the same day in Aquarius will ask us to slow down, turn inward, and reassess our thinking. Aquarius is very good at coming up with ideas and, though usually those ideas are usually ingenious, our confidence can make us a little too sure. January 21st to Feb 11th will be a time to re-check our drawings, our alignments, and our wirings. When Aquarius is involved, even a small error can lead to explosive results. From now to the end of the month, Mercury will reconnect with the North Node and Uranus and Pallas helping us to pick up the errors that we have missed.

Venus will move into Pisces on Jan 27th. Love and money will take on a tinge of universal love. This is also a very romantic sign for Venus to be in which is great for Feb 14th. I give you this sneak peek into February because Venus will also be aligned with Mars, making the potential for a very romantic February. Start planning your romantic surprise now!

On the 30th, we might be inspired to write and share our thoughts with someone. However with Mercury still retrograde, our ingenious and witty communication might not have its intended impact. Venus will also square Saturn on the same day and Mars will sextile Pluto. It’s a time when we will be assessing our loyalties and investments. It’s also a time when we might be a little pushy with our actions. The better way to use this energy is to journal, assess our relationships, and to come up with a strategy privately. When Mercury returns to its direct motion, we will have more clarity to act on our internal investigations.

Uranus will connect with the North Node on the last day of January. On the same day, Mars will connect with Chiron and Mercury with marriage asteroid Juno. We are now getting deeper into our healing and figuring out what is right for us. If these things have remained unconscious (and I hope they have not), they will still come out. The likely target – our partners (marriage or business) or the institutions of marriage and business. Whatever happens, we will be connecting with a path that is right for us, however messy it might look.

Aries: You might have found yourself marching on Parliament hill or protesting in front of embassies lately. Or maybe you found yourself in New York marching for a cause you felt needed some attention. This month will mark the turning point on how you get your message heard. Aries is the warrior, but aiming to be the spiritual warrior may be a better path this month. New hopes and dreams might spring up at the New Moon on the 20th. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will be a good time for you to lay low and refocus on your humanitarian or political efforts.

Taurus: What you had always believed has been ripped to shreds in the last little while. At times you may have felt that you didn’t know yourself anymore due to a crisis of faith. Your faith will be challenged again this month, but getting in touch with your emotions will give you clarity. New career ideas spring up at the New Moon on the 20th. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will provide a good time to retreat from public life or your career and reassess where you’ve been.

Gemini: Hopefully you didn’t go overboard at Christmas this year with your credit card or other shared resources. If things haven’t been going so well, this month you might find yourself crying over your financial statements. It’s time for some financial reform. The pressure to be something you’re not is finally coming to a head. New beliefs spring up at the New Moon on the 20th. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will help you do a review on your old belief systems.

Cancer: This month your fierce protective energy may go overboard – or your thick protective wall could go up as well… you get to choose. You may be feeling like you need to protect yourself in your relationship and, if you are really being harmed, this might be the right approach. The potential for a deeper level of intimacy exists which may scare you to bits. You can breathe new intentions into what you desire in term of intimacy at the New Moon on Jan 20th. Between Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will help you to re-evaluate your intimate communications.

Leo: Do you have a job or do you have a career? This month, this question might be pushing buttons within you causing you to seek something deeper and more purposeful. You might be setting intentions for a change within your relationships. Maybe you decide you want a business and a business partner. The New Moon on Jan 20th will help you breathe life into these intentions. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will help you review your communication with partners.

Virgo: They say that we learn from our children, but you hadn’t anticipated them changing your life this much. Most parents feel challenged letting go of their baby, but you are being challenged to let go in a way that seems even more challenging. The bottom line is that you need to take care of yourself. The New Moon on Jan 20th will help you to set new intention for your health and well-being (physical and emotional). From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will help you to review your routines and schedules in this area.

Libra: If you have been holding everything in for the last couple of weeks, trying to be a good sport over the holidays, you might finally reach your boiling point. Maybe you feel sandwiched from generational stress and you’re getting it from all sides – parents and children. Normally you can rely on your partner but they seem to be having a midlife crisis too. In all of this, how much are you feeding your creative side? Set intentions for yourself at the New Moon. The Mercury retrograde from Jan 21 – Feb 11th will help you to reassess your creative expression.

Scorpio: If you are starting to feel like you could write a self help book on “being yourself” without fear, this month marks the turning point on your data collection. Maybe the material for this has been coming from upsets at work or with your health. Maybe the two are linked. Are you getting sick from not being yourself at work? You can set new intentions at the New Moon for stronger foundations. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde may mean some breakdowns in your foundations. They may show up in your house, but trust that they are just reflecting your own inner workings.

Sagittarius: Things are coming to a head in the money department. This might be as simple as coming to the realization that kids cost money – more money than you thought. Or it could be that you took a risk with money and it turned out extremely well; even elevations in money can stress us out. The New Moon will provide opportunities to set intentions for better communication and from Jan 21 – Feb 11th the Mercury retrograde will help you to reassess your communication style.

Capricorn: You’re projecting yourself in a different way and it’s really being noticed. This month you might be getting so good at getting your way that you ruffle feathers or hurt feelings. Your foundations of who you are have been revolutionized and it’s becoming more apparent. The New Moon will help you to set intentions on your self-worth but before they come into being, the Mercury retrograde from Jan 21 – Feb 11th will have you reviewing how you’re communicating your sense of self.

Aquarius: Things keep floating out of your mouth that seem to get you in to trouble. The problem is that the words are being formed in your unconscious and are escaping into the world without censor, edit, or review. The New Moon on Jan 20th will help to set intentions for how you now want to project yourself into the world, but from Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will have you reviewing your communication and personal branding.

Pisces: Everything from your friends, to your Facebook friends, to your group associations seems to be challenging you. This month, things will come to a head. A revolution is occurring in your self-worth and your emotions are floating to the surface. At the New Moon , you can set intentions for letting go of limiting beliefs floating around in your unconscious. From Jan 21 – Feb 11th, the Mercury retrograde will help you to reassess how you’re communicating with your intuition and your hidden beliefs.

December Horoscope 2014

Merry Christmas! It’s time for the December Horoscope 2014… Already!

The first couple of days of December, while many of the planets are still in Sagittarius, we will be driven and upbeat. We are feeling very driven towards our goals on December 1st on the 4th we will be feeling positive and inventive, filled with bliss, joy, and desire for love and fun. But on the 5th, something might arise that brings up a wound. At first we may be just expressing our unusual or ‘outside of the status quo’ views. Then at the December 6th full moon in Gemini, our minds are further stimulated and there will be lots more chat. It could be about our past hurts or much of it could be influenced by our past hurts. However on the 8th, we can expect nurturing conversations that will help to point us in the right direction. Oftentimes, when we learn to re-parent our inner child, we have a conversation that sounds a lot like Mom – or what we needed from Mom. But at this time we also need to have Dad in on the conversation. The childhood voice of Dad is often authoritative, scary, and devoid of feeling. But what is needed now is emotionally-available Dad. The re-parenting teamwork between Mom and Dad will be particularly rewarding at this time. Jupiter will also go retrograde on December 8th, sending us into a time of self reflection and assessment.

Jupiter will retrograde in Leo. Leo is about our leadership and authority. It’s about our need to shine and nurture our inner child through play and creativity. This retrograde will be a time for assessing how well we are doing at expanding those things in our lives. On Dec. 9th, Jupiter Retrograde starts off with a clash between our ethics and need for achievement. Did we have crazy soccer mom or hockey dad? How do we really feel about leading the game, playing the game, and winning? This may be influencing our leadership model; how we lead other and what we expect from them.

On December 10th, Venus enters into Capricorn. Venus in Capricorn can be affectionate, as long as there is status involved and money that doesn’t trail too far behind. Venus will be instrumental in what happens for the remainder of the month… However, whatever trouble Venus gets into, something is happening on another level. Those who have connected and healed their inner child dialogue will be inspired on Dec. 12th. Positive thinking will be on the rise and the planets will bring brings universal transcending love energy into the mix. The Sun trine Jupiter on the on December 14th will help to keep the positivity going.

I hate gloom and doom astrology reports. And I love Christmas. It’s one of my favourite times of the year. But many find December the most stressful part of the year. Expectations are high; the pressure to be happy when you are not, to feel gratitude when you don’t, and to spread loving cheer is often just too much for many. Unfortunately this year we can expect it to be a little more tense. Pluto and Uranus square off again in December, exact on December 15th. As they move closer together, the tension builds again towards another turning point.

Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter are all what are considered the outer planets. They live in the universe farthest from the earth and take a considerable amount of time to orbit around the ecliptic. Neptune takes 165 years, Jupiter just 12 years, but because they are so slow going, their energy sets up the big picture of what’s going on. Pluto and Uranus have been doing their dance, moving to and fro from 2012 and are nearing the end of their dance set in early 2015. December 15th marks the second last square off between the two planets , with one more happening in March 2015.

Here is the bigger picture of these two in their dance. Pluto transforms, Uranus revolutionaries. What really is the difference between these two energies? Both can be destructive. Both will not leave you the same afterward. Uranus is really concerned about change. It wants to see us evolve and to break up the old and outdated ways of doing things. It’s like the constant upgrades to the operating system on your phone. The purpose is always to make things new and supposedly better. Pluto on the other hand is concerned with renovating. It walks into the living room, decides that it doesn’t like the chair right there anymore, but instead of just moving the chair to a new place, it tears down the walls, replaces the floors, paints a new colour, so that when you do move that chair to a new place, that chair will look reborn… like new. Not the same.

So imagine what happens when extreme makeover and constant operating system upgrade clash. It’s like Jason meets Freddy Kruger, Terminator vs Robocop, Heathers meets Mean Girls… It’s not a pretty scene.

In real terms, Pluto is walking into the halls of all of those old buildings – The government, old money, big business (represented by Capricorn) and is tearing down policies, status quo, and exclusive practices…. We’ve seen it. Capricorn likes to reform others, but it doesn’t like it much when it happens to him. Especially with Pluto involved, there is a tendency to want to hold on to power, by hook or by crook. Uranus in the hands of Aries on the other hand is a trail blazer. Aries always acts and then thinks later and when Uranus the planet of surprise is there it makes it all that much more unpredictable. One thing is for sure – we can expect the unexpected and we can expect it coming up against the government, big business, and old structures. If you have planets or important points at or close to this degree (12o of the cardinal signs), you can expect the same kind of reformation in your life or business. If you are feeling it, you can always get an assessment to see what’s going on.

Mars moved into Aquarius on December 4th, putting it in mutual reception with Uranus. This means they are helping each other out in December. Mars in Aquarius fights for change, but it’s the good kind of change. In Aquarius he is concerned with Humanitarianism and social change. Mars will dance with other planets helping us to have breakthroughs in these areas and will hold hands with destiny on Christmas Eve 24th which will create a positive alliance.

Venus will be a little bit of a trouble maker. Think of Scarett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind – that is what Venus will be like during December. To begin, on Dec 14th., she will delight her to put on a ballroom gown and to charm and be charmed at the Christmas Ball. How she dresses, who she goes with, and who she interacts with will all have an agenda though. It’s in her nature. Also on Dec 15th the energy will be turned up causing her to be very self determined and individualistic. And this sets the stage for what happens on the 20th when Venus conjuncts Pluto and squares Uranus. If you saw Gone with the Wind, you will remember that all of Scarett’s marriage alliances to first, second, and third husband’s all served a very Capricorn purpose. Business and “love” were not separate for her. Remember also throughout the whole movie Scarlet was hell bent on getting Ashley, her “best friend’s” man. She stopped at nothing. Remember how she threw herself at him and found herself in a passionate embrace on Christmas day? As in the movie, when Venus conjuncts Pluto and squares Uranus, Venus’ advances might not go as expected. After Venus finds herself in a bit of trouble, she may turn around and do what Scarlett did in the midst of the civil war. She rolled up her sleeves and did some grunt work (Capricorn will do this if need be). This might happen on December 21st but don’t expect her to stay there for long. On the 22nd, Venus will either be back in the game or banished from it for good.

The New Moon happens on December 21st in Capricorn. This is also the Equinox, the beginning of winter and shortest day of the year in North America. We now have a whole lot of energy in Capricorn (The Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Pluto, and Vesta). This energy puts a focus on status, power, prestige, and tradition. On Dec 23rd, Mercury will create a strong focus on these areas in thought and speech. On the same day Saturn ingresses into Sagittarius. Saturn will return briefly into Scorpio in 2015, but will remain in Sagittarius until 2017. Saturn in Sagittarius will examine and restructure our moral code, our education, religious, and legal systems.

Christmas Eve and Christmas day bring back the fireworks as Mercury conjunct Pluto and squares Uranus. Here’s some advice for keeping the peace. While nestled in with the family during these days (something most of us will not be able to avoid), stay away from discussing politics, religion, sex, death, past relationships, age, appearance, or money. Oh and don’t make any jokes involving the aforesaid topics. The more you can just open presents, smile with gratitude, and put some food in your mouth anytime you would like to make a point, the better off you will be. The reason? Rigid thinking will be even more rigid – strong opinions will be stronger. Mercury makes an aspect to the planet responsible for healing wounds, so even if you do have a blow out, you will be able to find access to healing the parts of you that were perhaps unheard or misunderstood as a child. By Boxing Day, your new insights and deepened intuition might lead you in a new direction. This however might be set in the backdrop of more drama. Vesta will conjunct Pluto and square Uranus. Secrets could be revealed. Or you may have deep and penetrating insight into the problems within your psyche. It could have you acting rebelliously and, with Mars opposite the marriage asteroid Juno, this could result in a blow up with your partner.

At the end of the month Pallas moves into Sagittarius and joins Saturn. At this time, we might see a sneak peek into campaigns against socially unjust laws and fights for justice though reform. Well Pluto and Uranus have certainly set the stage for it!

 December Horoscope 2014 for each sign:

Aries: The focus of energy will take place in your career house. You may have a face-off or competition with others who think they should have gotten that massive company recognition bonus instead of you. They can’t understand how you got it. Jupiter retrogrades in your 5th house calls you to reflect on how you are expanding your creativity and need for attention.

Taurus: There may be some ‘holier than thou’ drama in your life this month. If you are traveling to a distant culture over Christmas, this may be a culture clash. Be careful and don’t automatically assume that our North American standard and ways of doing things apply. If you find yourself saying “but I’m an American” or “But I’m a Canadian”… you might be making matters worse. Jupiter retrogrades in the 4th house causing you to examine of your need for attention and play within your family.

Gemini: You prefer to keep things light, but this month you will be thrown into a deep transformation as your shared resources and intimate relationships create a power struggle – a big power struggle. Your struggling now with your definition of status and success and they might not match up to your partners. Jupiter retrogrades in the 3rd house causing you begin an examination of how lead a conversation.

Cancer: Plenty of drama this month in your relationships – this could be your spouse or a business partner. You might be facing a total restructuring of your agreement. Check your vows or business contract. You may need a renewal or a rewrite. Jupiter retrogrades in the 2nd, giving you some time to reflect on your investments. Are they risky? Are they too speculative?

Leo: Be careful during that workplace Christmas party. There is sure to be drama and it could involve the workplace version of Sandra Bullocks the proposal – it may not be as dramatic as finding yourself betrothed to the manager in order to save their butt, but close. Decide how you want to be of service and set your boundaries. Jupiter retrogrades in the 1st causes you to reflect on your leadership self-image.

Virgo: If you’re in the dating scene, things may get heated. Maybe you double-booked yourself for the same Christmas party. Maybe you love one but see the other as more beneficial to your financial ambitions. If you have children, this might be some drama with a child. You might learn that you cannot project manage your children. Jupiter retrogrades in the 12th which has you focusing on your acting ability. Do you know who you are anymore? There may be so many roles (mother, sister, daughter, friend, caretaker) that you play in your life that you might have lost the real you. Jupiter retrograde will help you to go inside to discover.

Libra: More than any other sign, you will be prone to family drama and power struggles during December. It’s Christmas though so it will be hard to avoid. The issue might be that they want you to take over the family business – but you just want to make your own way in the world. Jupiter retrogrades in the 11th helping you to go inside and reflect on your hopes and dreams.

Scorpio: They don’t call you the Stinger for nothing. The words that come out of your mouth can and do sting, but this month something will come up causing you to rethink your communication strategy. Does it burn your bridges? Does the power strategy you’ve always used no longer work? Jupiter retrogrades in the 10th house causing you to reflect on your need for fame and fortune.

Sagittarius: You might buy an expensive and beautiful present in the hopes of impressing. Maybe even as a business-related “bribe” but key into your intentions as this may backfire. You might not be able to afford it both in terms of your bank balance and your self esteem. Jupiter retrogrades in the 9th causing you to reflect on your ethics.

Capricorn: Your self-projection (how you project your power and status in words and in deeds) will be the focus of December. Capricorn can look down on others or feel that they don’t match their standards. But check in with what your standards really are; you may need to do some adjustments. Jupiter retrogrades in the 8th causing you to reflect on your shared resources. How are others investing in you and how can you build their confidence?

Aquarius:   If you have been hiding your ambitions and desire for success and tripping yourself up to make sure you never get it, you may be facing some unraveling reveals. If that’s what you want, go for it… Stop sabotaging yourself. Jupiter retrogrades in the 7th house causing you to reflect on the playfulness or lack of it in your relationships.

Pisces: Maybe you think you’re all knowing because you’re the oldest of your friends. Maybe you are even quite a bit older them. They have a thing or two to teach you and this month your interactions with them may have you checking in with yourself. Jupiter retrogrades in the 6th house causing you to reflect on the phrase “do what you love and the money will follow.”
