Because the ideas now being discussed are the only the seeds of ideas that could become much larger, you assume that you can deal with details later. But these shouldn’t wait. Give serious thought to these points now and you’ll refine your thinking about your vision of the future and what you’d like to achieve.
With your adventuresome nature, you thrive on the unexpected. Still, developments could seem perplexing, if not just plain overwhelming. Worse, while you’re dealing with the practical side of things, that is money, time and who’s responsible for what, you’re also considering what would have to go to accommodate the new. And all this while you’re unsure exactly what form those developments will take. Many around you are advising caution, and you can’t help but wonder if they’re right. Still, by next Sunday’s Sagittarius New Moon, you’ll be at the forefront of developments that will be transforming your life and the world around you.
There's always someone willing to argue. It doesn't matter what you say nor how right you happen to be. Some folk take a positive pleasure in disputing any statement no matter how well phrased. And who cares about accuracy? Everything in this world is subjective. Relative. Little, if anything, is ever definitive. Now, of course, you are not an argumentative person. Er... are you? It's easy to start an argument, but hard to finish one. The only real way ever to win one is not to hold it in the first place!
While the intense planetary activity of December’s first half influences everybody, it would be safe to say that you’re in for the most dramatic developments. This begins with this Sunday’s Sagittarius New Moon and becomes all the most intense, and exciting, when your ruler Jupiter has a life-changing encounter with Pluto, in your sign, on the 11th.
You're very good at explaining your goals and priorities this morning. You're able to put your thoughts together in a way that is forthright and clear. This makes it easy for everyone you communicate with to understand your intention and desire. You continue to steadily chip away at preexisting problems and make things better, especially during the morning. Later this evening, you need harmony and peace more than anything else. Turn off your phone and shut out the world. Make a point to protect your peace of mind. Tomorrow will be an important day, requiring your full concentration, so refresh and relax your body and mind this evening.
Meter reading: 8 December 3-9: A goal is so close you can almost taste it and a new friendship is just as tasty and thrilling. A lot of good news that makes you kind of breathless occurs. You're hesitant to discuss much of it with others. You don't want the questions and complications that generally arise after full disclosure. You also resist letting others know everything there is to know about your thoughts and private life. Good thinking, Sagittarius! Generally speaking, silence is very powerful. You might have a couple loose ends to untangle later this week, but manage to find plenty of things to enjoy on the weekend. This week's touchstones: Blue Coral, Malachite.
Career
Meter reading: 8 December 3-9: The element of surprise seems to work in your favor this week, especially if you work in a creative field. You exude soft-spoken enthusiasm, making others eager to ask questions and spend more time with you. As friendly and casual as you appear, you're very serious about your career and duties. Others feel safe and comfortable because of your helpful, warm temperament. They are more likely to feel good doing business with you because you're someone they trust. Just relax and be yourself. This week's touchstones: Larimar, Lapis Lazuli.
We all love that old Monty Python sketch about the argument. Fancy that. A facility where people can go and pay for the privilege of disagreeing with someone else. Actually, though, we all enjoy being at loggerheads, at least some of the time. In theory, we want to have plenty in common with our friends but in practice, if we see eye to eye about everything, we soon get bored. It's the debates and the disputes that make life interesting. Be glad for today's challenge to your point of view.
Your biggest obstacle in dealing with December’s changes isn’t what’s actually taking place, but the advice others give you. True, some of it will be worth taking. However, many well-meaning souls will encourage you to keep things as they are when, actually, you’re in the midst of the transformation you’ve long been preparing for.
Discussions about a work or health situation may present some disagreement or upset early this afternoon. These matters appear to improve later this afternoon, however - so there is light at the end of the tunnel. You may find yourself wedged between a number of people who need to win, be right or dominate. Instead of trying to discuss issues with them, speak to their supervisors or more reasonable, rational colleagues. You won't have much luck with hotheads - but then, who does? The good news is that your approach will work. Your demeanor is effective. At this juncture, it may be best to count on your own judgment.
これしかみつかんなかった… Weekly Outlook from 3rd December Something begins to move out of your life this week which you've been hanging on to for security, but really it wasn't as useful for you as you imagined. Love may not come as easily at the moment, partly because you are holding back, maybe sensitive to rejection. You feel you would rather shut yourself away than let your feelings be seen. Just don't let opportunities for romance slide by because you can't express your needs.
ついでに 12/4 You are very tolerant of others today, but you also need the freedom to do precisely what suits you. You will love startling companions, making provocative statements just to stir up the atmosphere and test their reaction. You may be dashing around 16 different people, trying to sort out what they think about this or that, and getting confused as a result. But at the end of it all you will know where to commit your energy. 12/5 You won't be as socially outgoing as usual today. The upside is that this puts you more in touch with creative or spiritual matters, so you'll emerge revitalised because of the deeper connections you've made within yourself. Today the Moon is in flowing aspect to Pluto so you'll be able to sort out situations which have been bugging you recently. Pluto around is great for unravelling muddles. It puts you back in control.
4 December Your world expands and a spirit of adventure prevails. Interest in issues of justice, fair play, travel and business are heightened by the diverse energies currently at play. Act on instinct rather than rationale. あなたの世界は拡大します、そして、冒険心は勝ちます。 正義の問題に対する関心、フェアプレー、旅行とビジネスは、遊びで 現在多様なエネルギーによって高められます。 正当化させるよりむしろ本能に従って行動してください。
3 December If you believe someone is treating you unfairly, speak up. The first step to harmonious relationships is openness and during this talkative phase differences can safely be aired. Use logic rather than emotion when delivering your message. あなたが誰かが不当にあなたを扱っていると思っているならば、率直に 言ってください。友好的な関係への第一歩は開放性です、そして、この おしゃべりな時期、位相差は問題なく放送されます。 あなたのメッセージを届けるとき、感情よりむしろ論理を使用してください。
Focus on others, not yourself today. You need to distance yourself from emotional matters that could cloud your vision. Do what you can to help a cause or check out an investment that can help you get back on a positive financial track. The Moon is in Scorpio and this should enable you to make some preparations for a surprise that you are planning for loved ones. You will get lots out of the way without anyone knowing it.

05�December�2007 Even simple plans must be considered tentative. Disruptive as this is, others are also contending with sudden changes. The only problem is, while you enjoy exploring your options and the direction they’re taking you, others are feeling increasingly anxious. Reassure them. This both gives them a boost and makes it easier to deal with developments together.
Your weekly stars for the week starting�02�December�2007 With your adventuresome nature, you thrive on the unexpected. Still, developments could seem perplexing, if not just plain overwhelming. Worse, while you’re dealing with the practical side of things, that is money, time and who’s responsible for what, you’re also considering what would have to go to accommodate the new. And all this while you’re unsure exactly what form those developments will take. Many around you are advising caution, and you can’t help but wonder if they’re right. Still, by next Sunday’s Sagittarius New Moon, you’ll be at the forefront of developments that will be transforming your life and the world around you.
Your monthly stars for�December Between the Sagittarius New Moon on the 9th and rendezvous between your ruler Jupiter and Pluto, planet of truth and transformation, on the 11th, early December’s events could be the most important in years. As they’re taking place, however, it could seem the foundation of your life’s being shaken. It is, but the resulting changes constitute breakthroughs, although often in entirely unexpected ways. During the month itself, say yes to everything. Then when both circumstances and your perspective are clearer, you can decide what to focus on.
Today Venus moves into your twelfth house of secrets and sleep, where she'll stay for around four weeks. If you find yourself being required to make some sacrifices for someone you love at any point over the next few weeks, do it with pleasure, if you can. This Venus cycle is partly about putting someone else's needs before your own. You might not get instant thanks for what you do, but the good karma will eventually find its way back to you. On the other hand, be very careful to avoid bad karma now. Especially be careful if you're thinking about getting involved with someone who is not really available to you. Quell any desires to get involved in any love triangles. Let me put it bluntly: take care before you either have an affair or seduce someone who's attached elsewhere. You have been warned! Similarly, be careful if you feel like you're giving or getting mixed messages romantically now - sometimes during this cycle it's impossible to be CLEAR. Confused by love? Far better to be patient. Being in this cycle means the next Venus cycle sees the love planet in your own sign. And if you think that sounds good, you're right.
12/5 Everyone says be careful, but you are just not convinced. However, everyone may be right. Things could go seriously wrong if you jump at an idea.
12/6 It doesn’t matter if you really are rich because you tend to live as if you are one of the wealthiest people in the world. This month you have drawn in your horns − other things have seemed more important − but now you want to live the life of luxury with a vengeance.
Wednesday, December 5, 2007�� Choices you recently made on an impulse or a hunch are coming back to haunt you. There is an emotional moment preparing for the day's events. You might feel that you are on the wrong path or with the wrong person.
Thursday, December 6, 2007�� A bit of chaos and uncertainty today is no reason to believe that the near future will be unrewarding. The current situation is challenging the old order, and your position i n the next phase of development is becoming more assured.
12/05/2007 The next three weeks mark a period of emotional healing. You may want to scale back on holiday parties in favor of staying home. Nursing your wounds over a pint of ice cream and a classic movie can be a powerful remedy. Repeat this treatment whenever you feel shaky. Don't be surprised if you're inspired to begin a creative project. Working on a painting, book, or sculpture during the wee hours of the morning makes you realize you will survive.
December 3 - December 9
LOVE IN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: This week you may be feeling restless when it comes to your most intimate relationship. Throughout the week you could feel as though there is something profoundly wrong within this relationship. However, you are actually in need of some opportunities for cleansing − your body, your emotions, your mind. At a deep level you may feel as if you desire a new beginning and may inaccurately believe that your intimate lover or partner is somehow to blame. In truth though, you have simply become overloaded from too much mental stimulus and are in need of a restorative experience. Use the sensual aspect of yourself and use any of your favorite physical pleasures to help relax your nervous system. Each day find ways to feed your senses, first alone by yourself and then with your lover. Enjoy a luxurious bath or shower; splurge and purchase for yourself some wonderful scent; listen to a tape of the sweeping ocean, a babbling brook, or a rainstorm in a forest. Throughout the week take time to cleanse yourself of mental obsession using sensual pleasure and prepare to experience a revitalization of your most intimate relationship.
12/6 Today is one of those days in which prosperity is much closer than you think, dear Sagittarius. You will find what you are seeking, but it is up to you to take the first step toward going after it. More than likely, you are looking for solid answers to your deep and probing questions. Don't let your inquisitive mind rest until you find the answers that ring true for you.
It is important that you fix your eagle eye on things that need looking at. If you do you'll pick up the tiny details that others may have missed. This is not the time to be ambling along just relying on luck to see you through. Spouting off opinions in all directions, you'll jump onto the next point before companions have really had a chance to absorb what you're saying. Avoid point scoring which won't go down well.
IF ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY your year ahead will be serious, hard working and not as sociable as usual. You'll be pushing hard to reach better agreements with those close over money or your intimate emotional matters. At times it will be slow going since you won't get it all your own way but will have to compromise. However your efforts at work should pay off if you apply yourself conscientiously. Into next year you'll have more money for treats.
One good reason why people don't always communicate well with each other is because they don't always communicate well with themselves. If our inner voice were to speak to others in the way it speaks to us, we might have very few friends left. One minute it is cruel and critical, the next, pompous and self-aggrandising. It swings from saying everything is all our own fault to blaming all and sundry. To be a human is to be clear yet confused, weak yet strong. You can't be perfect now. But you can be patient.
Disruptive as the developments triggered by aspects by both the Sun and Mercury to the planet of innovation, Uranus, may be, who and what they introduce could transform your life. True, at first, things may seem nothing but a distraction. Once you learn more, however, you’ll realise just how exciting these could prove to be.
A certain amount of discretion (or perhaps stealth) is called for in a career matter early today. Don't blather on about everything you know. Make sure your lips are sealed and encourage others to spill everything they know. A financial matter starts to improve for you. You might receive a delayed settlement or payment or manage to get a better than usual return on an investment. This afternoon is all about maintaining balance, no matter how wacky others are. Don't feed their frenzy or get too close to a particularly anxious person. You need peaceful surroundings in order to accomplish your assignments - or even finish your thoughts. Tonight should be quietly entertaining and blessed with the promise of better times to come.
Tick... tock... tick... tock... tick... I know you want me to hurry up and get on with it, but I am making an important point. Tick... tock... tick... tock... I'm sure you can see what I'm driving at by now... can't you? Oh well, allow me to drop another hint, just in case. Tick... tock... tick... tock... Nature is never in a hurry. Human nature, by contrast, is never at rest. You can't, of course, completely relax about a process that you feel is taking far too long. But you can be a bit more philosophical. There's a reason for the delay.
While you’re right in thinking that the advice of certain cautious individuals could actually mean you’ll miss out on what’s best about the developments now taking place, certain of their suggestions are worth taking. This particularly applies to getting as many facts as you can about the timing and cost of any ventures you’d be undertaking.
7th December YOUR MIND: You have amazing stars this month - just watch out you don't explode! Excessive Jupiter and volaitle Pluto mean you can amaze everyone, including yourself, with your ability to transform your life. What dead wood needs to go? YOUR BODY: In all parts of your life, indcluding training and diet, you must avoid the temptation to over do it. Stuck in an exercise rut? Now's the moment to try something new.
There is a slightly unsettled feeling around at the moment. But this can bring some very positive aspects as well. You just have to be willing to open up to some risk, a little excitement, and grasp new opportunities which come along. You can be uncompromising, even unco-operative at home or with loved ones at the moment, since you hate being tied in too much. What you want is a home life that is different from normal. Just don't rock the boat too much.
IF ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY your year ahead will be excitable, changeable, rather an unsettled time at home but one where you'll be taking your responsibilities seriously at work. So you'll need to push distractions to one side if you are to make progress. Emotionally you know you want more freedom and room to suit yourself but with so much going on within the family you need not to rock the boat too hard. Luckily your hard work will pay off so you'll be more financially secure as money rolls in faster from the end of this year.
Friday December 7th Don’t try and rush things over the weekend. You have an idea in your head and you want it all to happen about half an hour ago. This is frustrating not just for you − but everyone else as well. They don’t want to be driven into a frenzy of tension simply because their timescale doesn’t fit in with yours. And you will find that then they will drag their feet and nothing will get done at all. Just relax a bit and you may even find that your plan will carry the day.
Secrets may be revealed if you haven't been honest. Be upfront. Be careful while traveling; taking a wrong turn could cause delays and setbacks. Focus on protecting your assets. The Moon is in Scorpio making this a good time to reassess your goals. Get out and celebrate what you have accomplished this year with friends, colleagues or family.
Your big gamble will go unresolved today, but this is no indicator that things are going wrong. This temporary setback is a positive indicator that your life is moving in a better direction than you initially anticipated.
>>243 YOUR MIND: 今月あなたは、驚くべき星達をもっています、あなたが爆発しないよう警戒して下さい!とてつもない木星と激しい冥王星は、あなたの人生を変えるあなたの能力は、あなた自身を含むすべての人を驚かせることができるということです。役立たたずは行く必要ないです! YOUR BODY: あなたの生活すべての部分で、トレーニングとダイエットはかかせません、あなたはそれをやり過ぎたいという誘惑を回避しなければなりません。エクササイズにはまってます? 今、新しい何かをためすことになるでしょう。
While you’re right in thinking that the advice of certain cautious individuals could actually mean you’ll miss out on what’s best about the developments now taking place, certain of their suggestions are worth taking. This particularly applies to getting as many facts as you can about the timing and cost of any ventures you’d be undertaking.
Friday may raise a few questions about a family member or close friend. You may suspect that this person is having trouble concentrating, remembering or just following through - and you might be onto something. You've noticed some changes lately and suspect that there may be something hidden or disguised influencing another's judgment. You wisely decide to keep these thoughts to yourself for the time being and just watch the person in question.
Saturday morning and afternoon demand a lot from you emotionally and physically. You feel tired and a bit short-tempered. Saturday night, however, brings relaxation and virtually no stress - what a nice change!
Sunday's New Moon gives you plenty of determination and courage to plunge into deeper water. You know you can handle the challenge because you've successfully handled bigger challenges. FYI: A family member's health may continue to be a matter of quiet concern.
You are not the person you used to be. You have come a long way in a short space of time and you clearly intend to get further still. That's why you keep learning so much about yourself. You have lately been shown how you appear in the eyes of others and that has not been entirely easy to face. Bravely, though, you have accepted what many might have felt more inclined to deny - and you have set out on a journey of inner transformation. You are about to make yet another big discovery soon. This will really lift your spirits.
It’s the rare Sagittarian who’s so sentimental about elements of the past. Yet you could still cling to certain arrangements because they appear to suit you. While it’s true, letting go could be disruptive, you’ll soon realise there’s something far better just waiting for you. Have faith. It should surface soon, perhaps within only days.
During the coming days you’ll be in the thick of developments, some more intense than you’ve experienced for ages. This alone would signal their significance. More than that, they’re asking you to think of your life, and of yourself, in a new way. If there was any doubt about changes, this should help eliminate it.
The strange thing about turning points is that what’s most important isn’t always recognisable for what it is at the time. Remember that now and, instead of focusing on what seems pivotal, you’ll explore absolutely everything. While today’s Sagittarius New Moon indicates exactly that fresh perspective, Tuesday’s extraordinarily rare encounter between your ruler Jupiter and Pluto - planet of transformation ? in your sign will, quite simply, change your life. While some developments clearly introduce change, others that seem unimportant could be the first glimmering of something new - an unaccustomed way of living, working or loving. After that, you’ll never look back.
Meter reading: 8 December 10-16: What seems a bit shaky at the very start of the week quickly stabilizes and shapes up to be better than you'd anticipated. This goes for everything from daily obligations to your closest friendships and romantic connections. You seem to have more influence over others now. They respect your intelligence, experience and general outlook. You look at things differently than most of your peers and are able to recognize potential assets and problems before others do. Your creativity and imagination soar later in the week. This carries over into your social activities as well, making you flirtatious, glamorous and unforgettable. This week's touchstones: Pezzottaite, Pink Sapphire.
Career
Meter reading: 9 December 10-16: You might worry about someone fumbling the ball early this week, but quickly realize that everything is as it should be, probably as soon as Tuesday. From that point on, things happen faster than expected. You're amazed and impressed by another's professionalism and skillful handling of a delicate time-sensitive issue. You also feel better about your position and the level of respect you receive professionally. Many of you find yourself communicating and doing business with foreign groups in different time zones. Instead of being baffled or overwhelmed, you're excited by the seemingly endless potential of a developing new alliance. This week's touchstones: Citrine, Turquoise.
Monday December 10th あなたの関係は全体的によくなっています、そして緊張や不安は楽になって きてます。あなたのサインの木星は、自身の自惚れの感覚を高めることが できます。いくらかはいいけど、相当高慢過ぎるかもしれません。 現在非常にあなたは、真相を究明することを決心しています。時々、 あなたは正直みたいだし、外交的であるか協調性だったりします。 しかしあなたの世の中への情熱的なアプローチは、説得にも似た懇願です。
IF ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY your year ahead will be upbeat, confident, very go ahead and determined. You will be working extra hard since you know your efforts will bring recognition but your achievements will be seen by the right people. There will be ups and downs at home but you will gradually come to see that more freedom is on offer. Joint finances may be the cause of a difference of opinion at one point but your personal finances will flourish in the year ahead.
We all dream of perfect progress. Yet we also know that in real life, nothing is ever easy. Indeed, when things do fall neatly into place, we are inclined to feel suspicious. At least, this week, you won't have to entertain such concerns. You are wrestling with something awkward. Your every effort to resolve a difficult situation seems to make it more complicated. Were it not for the fact that you are made of such stern stuff, you might have given up long ago. Yet, despite all that's against you, a victory is in sight.
The period around the New Moon in Sagittarius, which took place over the weekend, always raises numerous questions. But this year those questions are bound to be pivotal, since with rare and powerful planetary activity also taking place in your sign, changes in both your thinking and circumstances could completely transform elements of your life.
You feel confident about yourself and cautiously optimistic about others this morning. A financial matter hangs in the balance. Since you've done all you can to move things along, you must now step back and watch how others respond. Mid afternoon may force the issue a bit. You may feel somewhat annoyed by another's sluggish response time or apparent lack of authority. To make things even edgier, a relative or close friend may make an announcement you may have suspected but had hoped wouldn't occur. Despite some of today's stressful circumstances, tomorrow will bring noticeable improvement.
11th December, 2007 This is it - in some ways, the day you've been waiting for, for nearly 13 years. Where in your life do you know you need to get rid of some dead wood? Where is a detox so seriously in order that you and all your friends and family know about it? Where would you give anything for transformation that comes from the inside out? This is the day to make your bid for freedom, to change the way other people see you and to respond to the pressure which you can feel slowly but surely bearing down on you.
Sometimes, we feel as if life is like trying to run up a down escalator. It takes us all our effort and energy just to stay in one place. Complications lurk in every nook and cranny, waiting to leap out and spoil our enjoyment. Disappointments follow a similarly aggressive agenda. They conspire to steal our precious peace of mind. What can we do to stem this tide? Often, seemingly, nothing. But sometimes the world forgets that it is trying to give us as hard a time and it accidentally blesses us with true joy and happiness. Ordinarily, your capacity to think and act swiftly could be considered an asset. But during the period between now and the end of January, which sees considerable planetary activity in your sign, you’ll find that if you’re to avoid making decisions you regret, you’ll have to take things slowly and give them serious thought. Financial developments benefit you today, right along with very rewarding personal news. Late Sagittarians are extremely strong and persuasive today - and nearly impossible to resist. All Sagittarians sense that today is an important milestone in their personal and professional development. You've struggled during the past years, but have gotten stronger with each challenge. The battles you've survived have added years of wisdom to your heart and soul. Most of you already believe that the tests you've endured have been worth it - a testament to your strength and character. Today brings important growth and maturity that feeds your freedom and confidence. You've worked hard and will succeed mightily.
The stars are aligned in a way today that they won't realign in again for more than 200 years - that is to say, a Jupiter/Pluto conjunction i n your sign. Suffice to say that what you are living through now is not going to be happening again any time soon. So try to make the most of it all, even if it's rough. Remember that Pluto is the planet that represents the healing crisis - the difficult moment which actually leads us to a better place. We all get lots of those in a lifetime but few will be as big as the one you're getting now.
So are you a risk taker and speculator when it comes to cash? If so, you might have to rein those natural impulses in just a bit this year. Jupiter is moving through your 2nd House, which is the part of your chart related to cash, property and possessions. Now, Jupiter is the great amplifier of the zodiac, so in one way, what happens next could be VERY positive indeed. Jupiter expands, his in your House of Cash, your cash could be about to expand to. Get it? But there is a big but. This is the part of your chart where you also get bills, and Jupiter can expand them too. Plus Jupiter with his jolly Devil-May-Care attitude can sometimes see us throwing money around when he's in this part of our chart. So be careful! Plus Jupiter is a natural born risk taker. If you're already like that, then Jupiter in this part of your chart could see you feeling too fine about taking too many cash risks. You have been warned times time! So to sum up - DON'T over extend yourself financially this year, and it could yet turn out to be the moment when step into that much-mythologised about flow of abundance! PS Lastly but SO not leastly, the part of your chart being energised is also about self-esteem. The good news is that Jupiter will increase your self-confidence. Which can help improve the rest of your life. Fab, eh?
Poor old coyote. Year after year, he chased Roadrunner up and down the mountain. He set traps, moved signposts, dug holes, wore disguises and employed expensive explosive. Yet no matter what he did, that Roadrunner kept on running. Beep! Beep! No matter how agitated or aggravated you feel, keep a clear head. Some things just can't happen in a hurry, yet there will be spontaneous opportunities that do arise. To seize these, you must remain patient but alert.
It may take you until well into the new year to understand the full ramifications of your ruler Jupiter’s recent encounter with Pluto, the planet of truth and transformation, in your sign. But what is sure is that your perspective on your own life, and on the situations you’re dealing with, has been extensively, and permanently, altered.
We spoke about Roadrunner yesterday. That old cartoon character and his nemesis, the coyote. Strangely, up in those hills, there was a seemingly endless supply of free dynamite. Where did it come from? Well, perhaps some negative force in the universe ensures that whenever people want to chase each other around being nasty, they get given all the help they need to intensify this emotion. If that is so, then there's another law. Folk who are nice also get miraculous assistance.
Next week your ruling planet Jupiter moves into the down to earth Capricorn. This gives you an opportunity to capitalise on certain of your efforts and activities of the past year or so. While you might not have undertaken them solely with the idea of profiting, you’ll be given an option to do just that.
You certainly won't be at a loss for words or spontaneous bursts of creativity today. Dreams are translated into poetry, music and art. You have at least one profound déjà vu moment when something occurs that feels oddly, eerily familiar. You know where all the rooms are in a strange house you've never been in before. You anticipate the reaction of friends when something you've dreamt comes to pass. Your ability to heal and lead is also very potent today. In order to do your best work, you need to eschew crowds and focus on one person or situation at a time. Otherwise, you'll feel overwhelmed, confused and drained.
Beep beep. Or was it 'meep, meep'? We never could hear quite what the Roadrunner was saying. We just knew that he had a whole lot of running to do and that his enemy, Wile E. Coyote, was always hanging around somewhere with a nasty plan up his sleeve. Well, I say his sleeve, but he didn't wear a shirt - and he never had much of a plan, either. Anyway, who are you? The Coyote, who never wins or the bird that never loses? Actually, this weekend, all you want to be is the person who stops running!
Weekend Update: Your imagination and ability to find alternative solutions to seemingly 'impossible' issues is really quite inspiring on Friday. Others scratch their heads and feel totally stumped until you breeze by with a brilliant suggestion that instantly changes the energy in the room. Friends know that you're pretty intuitive, but may find you uncannily so on Friday. This trend continues throughout Saturday. Your ability to time things very fortunately makes most events and activities more successful and manageable. And it's effortless on your part. The main thing is that you're not blocking the flow of energy and inspiration beaming into you. You're a clear channel. Your sometimes-disguised gift for healing is also very much in evidence throughout Saturday and Sunday. Others come to you for suggestions or advice and walk away feel so much better than they did when they arrived. Late Saturday night, you might have some worries about a dear friend or loved one (probably a female) but things look much better on Sunday morning.
You long ago learned that at times of transition, such as this is, plans are only made to be changed. But not everybody has realised the extent to which circumstances are in transition. Discuss taking a flexible approach with them now, or they could end up battling changes that are nothing short of inevitable.
It may be because you so loathe situations in which others overplan that you’ve kept certain arrangements loose until the last minute. Whatever the case, the events of the next few days will show how right you were. With three planets, including your ruler Jupiter, all changing signs, arrangements simply can’t remain as they were originally envisioned.
You are not about to become wealthy beyond your wildest dreams, but then, some of your dreams are pretty wild! You would not necessarily want to fulfil them even if you could. Money, in any event, should not be used for purchasing the fulfilment of fantasy - it should be spent on real needs and genuine requirements. Or so, at least, the moralists tell us. It is funny, though, how a lot of them seem to stop moralising when they strike it rich. Your tune may change soon, too, in the light of an imminent acquisition.
Jupiter, your ruler, will bring a lucky touch to your personal finances. Money will roll through faster. Venus is now in aspect to Uranus which combines love and affection with sudden surprises. So you can expect the unexpected. You want new, fun people in your life, stimulation and sparkle and more excitement around the place. So it can be extremely lively and you probably won't be able to guess what's coming.
For December 18: You intuitively sense what another is feeling or concerned about and may verbalize what he or she is thinking. This may surprise him or her, of course, but will probably create an unexpected level of comfort, as well. You're very interested in understanding the details of a situation and are likely to easily pull information out of others, largely because they trust and rely on you. Jupiter moves into your earned income sector today, indicating the next year should be fortunate financially. You may earn more than you did during previous years. Later this evening, your psychic awareness is profound, leading to memorable dreams and rather striking consciousness of another's circumstances.
Right. That's it then. Game over. Nothing left to play for. Jupiter is leaving Sagittarius. The best is behind you. Let us hope you made the best of your opportunity, because from now on... Well, actually, from now on it gets better. To have your ruler in your sign is to be every bit as much cursed as blessed. It is to have an astrological emphasis on all that's wrong and must be attended to. Whilst it forces positive change, it also fosters restlessness. You have had a long year. A new one starts now.
Jupiter, traditional ruler of your sign, now leaves Sagittarius and moves into your second solar house. Jupiter stays roughly one year in each sign at a time. Though you may not notice an instant difference, you should find that your financial situation responds quickly and positively to this important change in the cosmic climate. Swiftly enough to meet a pressing need that you are only too aware of? Just about! Keep calm. Have faith in yourself and trust the tide of fortune. It's going to be an interesting Christmas.
By now you’ve undoubtedly realised that this isn’t just a cycle of change. You’re being given an opportunity to leave behind certain burdensome elements of your life and concentrate on those that promise a variety of creativity, achievement and material success that you once considered beyond your reach. You may also have had a bit of an agenda about focusing quite so much on the trappings of success without some form of justification, philosophical or otherwise. That’s what this week is about, sorting out those old and restrictive beliefs in the light of who you’ve become. This is literally the only obstacle between you and the realisation of long cherished dreams.
You don’t mind admitting that, in one particular situation recently, you got it wrong. The problem is that you dread having to go over your misdeeds, one by one. On the other hand, by acknowledging where you misjudged things, you force others to do so as well, something you’ve been trying to achieve for ages.
Saturn's retro turn in your career and reputation sector starts today and ends in early May. During this phase, you may participate in new projects that take longer than anticipated. You won't back off or give up, but are reminded repeatedly to be patient. Until something is right and ready, there's no point unleashing it on the world. View each delay as a gift instead of a head bashing. Don't take delays personally or blame others. Delays force you and your colleagues or friends to perfect a process or endeavor, no matter how frustratingly long it takes. It might be wise to get an early start (like right now) because of inevitable delays.
Hi All, If you know you're starting to get a little too wound up and/or intense about something, try to pull back a little. It may well be that you're responding to the Pluto action in the skies, which is making many of us emotionally hot at the moment. Mercury, the planet of communications, actually goes over obsessive/compulsive Pluto today, so there's a good chance a lot of us will feel like our heads are exploding as we go over and over (manically) the same thoughts. Let's all do ourselves a favour and relax a little.
Like the song says, we shouldn't let the wheels of our minds drive us crazy! Things will more than likely look better tomorrow morning.
Kathryn Cassidy writes: For all your love of freedom and spontaneity there are some things you don't like to change. You are a creature of habit when it comes to certain daily routines. This stubborn streak can sometimes flip over into obsession and control. What have you been finding hard to relinquish recently? You may already have recognised that you need to let go, but today the decision is made. It is one that will not only benefit you. It will also bring untold relief to those with whom you share your life.
There are certain facts you haven’t raised, mostly because they’re so obvious. However, others are pretending these crucial situations don’t exist, which is causing problems for those who, for various reasons, can’t speak up. While listing these home truths, one by one, won’t make you popular with those in question, it’s the right thing to do.
A work, contract or legal matter is favorably resolved this morning. Additionally, you feel better physically, now that you're finally getting some traction and answers. As long as you feel in the dark and out of the loop, all you have is your wild imagination, fear and worrywart tendencies to fall back on. Most of the time, there's nothing like solid truth and righteous results to put things in perfect order again. A family member may surprise you later this afternoon - in a very good way. Never underestimate another's ability to change, grow or improve. Later this evening, you might come on a bit strong or seem bossy - just an FYI.
Meter reading: 8 December 17-23: You're getting more interested in prestige, status and value, and are less inclined to hang out with people who pull you down. Good thinking, Sagittarius! It's about time that you started looking out for yourself and your future. You might be unsure about your appearance, your wardrobe and the kind of direction you want your life to go in. Between now and early spring, you'll try out different things until you find something that feels just right. Be flexible and open-minded. This is a period of growth and increasing self-awareness. This week's touchstones: Rhodonite, Serpentine.
Career
Meter reading: 9 December 17-23: Jupiter definitely brings financial blessings this week. Perhaps you'll receive a year-end bonus or award. A settlement or payout may arrive. There's a sense of expansion and financial good fortune, some of it unexpected. You can expect better than hoped for dividends or benefits during 2008, as well. A new project, set to launch during the first quarter, may not be fully functional until early May. Once it's ready, it will be a goldmine, not only for you but also for your team. This week's touchstones: Green Tourmaline, Ruby.
Kathryn Cassidy writes: With money you can buy a house - but not a home. With money you can buy a clock - but not time. As a plethora of planets line up to enter the area of your chart we associate with finances and self worth, these truths are apt. Over the coming days and months you will be defining your reputation and value system. Assets could be under review. You will need to act with the utmost integrity in your dealings with others. Remember, money can buy you a lawyer, but it can never buy you respect.
Don’t make the mistake of assuming that just because you discussed and agreed to certain plans recently, others have done much as you. Not everybody is a fire sign, as you are. That being the case, they’re unlikely to think or move as swiftly as you will. They’ll get around to it, but in time.
Usually you avoid dwelling on hurt feelings. You find it easier to move on. But now you owe it to yourself and others to say exactly what’s upset you and why. It’s the only way you’ll get the message across to one particular individual that their actions are having an unhappy and undermining effect on you.
Delays aggravate you, so you’ll be thrilled that the remarkable plans that were recently discussed are now being turned action. However, you’re won’t be as happy with the way things are being done. Last week your ruler Jupiter moved into the thorough, cautious Capricorn, to be joined there in late January by Pluto, which has been in Sagittarius for over a decade. So you’d best consider this week’s thorough approach to plans as an indication of what’s to come. Initially, you’re unenthusiastic. But you soon realise that you’re accomplishing more than previously, and profiting more ? especially in financial terms ? which cheers you considerably.
Things happen fast this weekend. Once the ball starts rolling, there's no stopping it. Although Friday seems relatively benign, plenty of progress and important choices are made.
On Saturday, you feel at times as if you're walking of the brittle pieces of another's fragile ego. One false step and a meltdown is all but guaranteed. Since you've been down this dark, winding road before, you're pretty skilled at managing another's bag of tricks. It appears that you'll be asked to choose sides - reminiscent of elementary school spats. It also appears you'll craftily dance around another's strange game and avoid getting sucked into the heart of darkness. Family plans may be shifted or changed at the last minute, due to a diva eruption.
Sunday, however, brings a return to accountability and positive energy. Instead of allowing one confused, angry person to run things, cooler heads prevail and create a new agenda. You have a feeling of completion and resolution on Sunday, which feels very comforting.
Today's forecast's cover Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Jonathan will be back with fresh forecasts on 26th December. An intense opposition between Jupiter and Mars is hardly the most encouraging alignment with which to kick off Christmas. As Jupiter conjoins the Sun and Mercury, while Mars meets the full Moon, the drama has the potential to turn Shakespearian. Unless you really want a Christmas full of sonnets and soliloquies, you'd best make a clear commitment to avoid argument. Be passionate about whatever makes you feel positive. Be cheerfully indifferent to everything else!
Ordinarily you adjust to the most radical of changes swiftly. But even you could find the shift in both the circumstances around you and in your own mood triggered by your ruler Jupiter’s move into the rather conventional Capricorn, last week, perplexing. Still, in time, you’ll realise how much opportunity it gives you to learn.
Meter reading: 9 December 24-30: You tend to spend whatever cash you have on hand, mostly to please and pamper others. You're in a freewheeling, generous mood, and figure that this wondrous holiday comes only once a year - so why not go for the gusto? Generous and impulsive by nature, you're famous for resisting others' orders, rules and restrictions. Ironically, you can be very self-disciplined and focused when you're in the mood. It has to be on your terms, not someone else's. You surprise others with really thoughtful, unexpected acts of love and generosity, further elevating your reputation as Super Santa. This week's touchstones: Morganite, Star Ruby.
Career
Meter reading: 8 December 24-30: A lot of suspense eases up on Christmas Day. You finally relax, even if it's only for a few hours, and let down your guard. Things pick up speed and a bit of tension midweek, but gradually settle into a more normal routine later in the week. By the weekend, you feel as if you're enjoying the best of both worlds. Your ability to focus returns, along with a massive burst of creative energy. This week's touchstones: Geode, Black and Gold marble.
