International contacts are made: exciting news as December begins. By December 7 you’re on an adventurous new path bursting with deals on foreign shores. Hot Tip: plan long term, not short term. Jupiter blesses your future house for 1 year – until December 2, 2019. Money tension is temporary, over by December 6 with Mercury retrograde gone from your financial merger house.

Pluto is in your tenth house of career and public reputation, along with foundation-building Saturn until December 2020 and, until December 3, streamlining Vesta. Saturn brings long term security, Pluto brings transformation, and Vesta brings prioritization. Vesta sets you up for life by cutting and paring away all that is excess, including excessive worry and friends, and working only with what is essential. The rest is merely noise.

Whatever you’re going through, no matter how much certain people’s eccentricities drive you mad, you must hang in because your horizons across the world are essential. When discussing politics, education, religion… passions are getting high. Miscommunications in these areas could cause irrevocable damage, such as losing a friend, or missing a work opportunity. Speak your truth by all means but realize that everyone’s truth gets garbled during this time, even misheard. Don’t take it personally when you don’t hear from a loved one who feels far away.

December 11, Chiron, retrograde in your twelfth house, goes direct. This brings up a nervous tension, picked up from a family member when young, which has been repressed for years. Now is your chance to heal it. Once and for all! Then you have a full Cancer Moon coming up in your fourth house of early family and home on Saturday, December 22. Be careful with your temper around that time. Someone will utterly infuriate you.

Why it’s so great to get away from it all!

For you have in your ninth travel house: the life-saving Sun, fortune-lucky Jupiter, sharp-thinking Mercury (in and out, also in and out of retrograde), and a wild new Sagittarius Moon on Friday, December 7.

And your ninth house covers:

Travel

International anything

Other countries

Contacts at a distance

Lawyers, courts, laws, trials, cases

Languages

Education, academics, university

Belief systems

EXPANDING YOUR MIND

Publishing

Broadening your horizons

Space aliens (why not?)

I always think of this ninth house in relation to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, particularly the line, “There is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio.” You’ve been under too many burdens, dear Aries. Awful disappointments. Just not understanding — WHY.

Mid-December, a light bulb goes on – and stays on. Uranus is retrograde in your sign of Aries and your first house, and this concerns your appearance and behavior.

For instance…no matter how much you are attracted to bad boys – on all levels – you must remain pristine. This drives most Aries crazy. Be the one to rise above the pack, and let it work to your advantage. You can have all the adventures you want, just remain pristine. Sometimes it’s not considered “cool”. It’s old-fashioned, after all. It’s classical values. It’s true taste. Which you have. Give this all you’ve got this December. You have four heavenly bodies invested in expanding your world.

You’re going to get what you deserve and what you are worth. Are you ready?

I know you are exhausted from the struggle. I know it.

Why do certain people torture you so much?

December is an ideal time to take up that new study or lessons you’ve been wanting to do as you have so much planetary support in your arena of learning! You will do brilliantly.

How you sell something is through yourself, and your power and belief in yourself.

There will be a great deal of correspondence between you and those of other cultures.

It is time to do only that which is good for yourself, to love yourself. You may be slightly disappointed as the holidays approach as you are not doing exactly what you want to be doing.

Relationships do seem to get in the way, which is exactly how it’s meant to be. You learn your greatest lessons here over the next year: how to let people do what they do. Try to steer clear of being a Dear Abby this month. Your closest and dearest have minds of their own and are stubborn to boot. Your attempts at good advice will be met with arguments. It is just the stars! It will not last forever. Overall, it’s time to get serious about your relationships and partnerships this year.

Because people will prove to be good luck for you — you will see!

You’re longing to escape this daily grind and embrace greener, wilder pastures and here you come! Your passion, which cannot be contained, has had enough of self-absorbed others’ demands and mundane chores and you’re ready to leave behind squabbles with neighbors as well as an anxious legal battle.

And then it is total transformation time! Time to lay down the sword, and take up the dove. End of the fighting and hostilities…Your sexy ruler Mars is the planet of fire and boldness and creativity and originality. And you are just going to have to honor yourself without the usual boxing match.

You should be ENJOYING yourself (remember that?) more, and stressing less.

So, stop concentrating on that relationship that makes you want to cry. Stop obsessing about whatever ugliness there has been – and beating yourself up about constantly (STOP IT!) – and instead, focus on your life path. Which is golden for you.

Answer to Your Most Burning Question: Yes, that person loves you. At the very least, digs you very, very, BEAUCOUP much. And now, you must focus on your career.

As T.S. Eliot said, “Hurry up please, it’s time. Hurry up please, it’s time.”

The closing of a pub and also the closing of your insecurity. Enough time trying to be liked by everyone.  Just do what you’re good at, what you’re talented at.

Love is all around you. For you single Aries: there’s still someone from the past around you. Look to a different culture or country if you’re certain that you’ve broken up.

For you attached Aries: Value your partner. Let him / her do his own thing, as you do yours. Celebrate both.

And, whatever, you think, you are looking absolutely stunning right now.

You will see, soon enough…As you have become passionate now about recovering hidden parts of yourself, and about reconnecting with your true tribe. Meaning your intimates, those you value the most. You are embarking on a brave new course this December.

Make it as easy for yourself to accomplish this as possible!

Not the most normal thing for you to do, perhaps – don’t you always like the challenge? – but this month, let it be so.

You have plenty else on your plate. Embrace yourself this month and go for self-pampering.

Stress is everywhere, it’s not like you don’t have enough of it, so PLEASE schedule in some massages, both mental and physical, for yourself.

Consider them your biggest holiday gift.

Then, when you feel more relaxed, time to have a heart-to-heart with your partners, both in love and in business. You’ve been keeping a lot inside, muzzling your feelings as a matter of fact, and it’s time to let it all out. You will be pleasantly surprised at how your “confessions” are received. In a wild way, everyone has been waiting for you to speak your mind for a long time. Everyone will be relieved. You most of all.
