Aries December 2020

You’ve been lonely during this Covid time. But with your ruler Mars powering you forward again – as recently as a week ago – you are unstoppable this December. After fits and starts, pushes and pulls, unfettered now, you create pure magic. All due to your talent and your discipline.

Three major forces are moving into your eleventh house of professional community, Pallas on Monday, December 7, Saturn on Thursday, December 17, and Jupiter on Saturday, December 19. A group you have long wanted to be in, becomes your group over 2021. And becomes part of your legacy. You can create this community for life, as Saturn is so strong here.

What is the community that of course you should be part of, but have retired from? Perhaps you did not feel fully accepted, known – the worst pain – and overcame the feeling by withdrawing. Perhaps you skipped them altogether. But now you have superhuman support to heal this skip. I see you do.

So tensions now relax around career, and, most dramatically, after Tuesday, December 15, when Chiron goes direct in your sign of Aries! The wounds of the past – generally fighting with another – are healed. And now, 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.

You have a wonderful opportunity now to “fight” (Aries is the god of war, after all) differently. Think about it. And the planets will help you. For in your ninth house of learning and mind-travel you have:

The life-saving Sun

Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury as of Tuesday, December 1

A dramatic solar eclipse new Moon on Monday, December 14

Love and beauty planet Venus as of Tuesday, December 15

Adoring Juno as of Saturday, December 19

And your ninth house rules:

Broadening horizons

Travel (also in your mind)

Publishing

International anything

Contacts at a far distance

Lawyers, courts, laws, trials, cases

Languages

Education, academics, university

Belief systems

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. That’s Chiron direct in your sign of Aries and your first house, and this concerns your appearance and public behavior.

For instance…no matter how much you are attracted to dangerous characters – 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 five 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 have certain people tortured 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 and instead, focus on your life path. Which is golden for you.

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

The closing of a poem and 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.
