december

by aura galadriel wright

Welcome to Chakra Astrology. Each sign is ruled by one of the seven planets that can be seen in the sky with our eyes. From the top down, they are: Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. These planets equate with the seven chakras, which are reflected by the colors below.

Imagination is strong and so is the ability to forge powerful and truly effective alliances. Perhaps the challenges of November have led to a deepening of purpose, commitment and values among allies. Early in December, well-behaved and large-scale solution-oriented meetings can take place effectively. And by mid-month (soul) family ties grow and bind more strongly than ever. And further good news is that what was broken can now get fixed more permanently – maybe even without any chewing gum or tape.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22)– Your feet are itching for travel even more than usual as Ruler Jupiter comes home to Sagittarius this month. Truth and justice are the Sagittarian way, and the next year puts you squarely in your power to find, express and teach just those things. Your travels and discoveries will be many.

Cancer (6/23-7/22)– Let go on the full moon on the 4th. Let go of past ideas, people and communications that might be holding you back. On the new moon of the 19th, a spectacular, powerful rebirth and new beginning is available to you. Don’t let any old garbage stand in the way of such a great blessing.

Taurus (4/21-5/21)– After the 4th, a new and rewarding cycle begins for you and you might even succeed in a new business of your own. Your business senses are sharp and you can make the very best deals now. Be prepared for an erotic and scintillating celebration of the season!

Gemini (5/22-6/22)– Three times a year you get to start a major new cycle, but after Dec. 5, this time you get to completely re-invent yourself and let go of anything that has been holding you back. So seize the moment, let go of the illusion of duality and move toward the perfection of your spiritual self right now. It will be worth it.

Aries (3/21-4/20)– After the 5th you can begin a new cycle allowing you finally to feel free from whatever chains you have been shackled to. Now you can run freely once again and begin to make real progress. The good news about the limitations of the past few months is that it got you into a groove. So now your actions are in accord with your partner’s and your own deeper values.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20)– Rebels enjoy chaos. So you should be enjoying yourself this month. But you also have the chance to take charge of that chaos and turn it into something useful if you decide to. After the 19th you could be well on your way to achieving a cherished goal. But it’s your choice whether you prefer the drama of chaos or the order of concentrated focus.

Pisces (2/21-3/19)– A new cycle of accepting philosophical differences and finding clarity and purity of truth begins as Jupiter enters Sagittarius. Over the next year, your power will come from group ideals and serving the needs of your community. Service is the cornerstone of leadership.

Libra (9/23-10/22)– You will want to have your finger on the pulse of any local deals or alliances that you make. You stand to come out ahead in any bargains you get out of around the 5th, and any new ones you enter into around the 19th. Lucky you, starting the New Year on a good and powerful footing.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)—This is truly the month to let go of the past, including any routines that have been causing you problems. You want to be prepared to start new things in a completely fresh and new frame of mind after the 19th. Powerful and profound new beginnings are available for you in this New Year.

Leo (7/23-8/22)– Stay out of gossip early in December. It can only hurt you. In fact, take time to clear up any misunderstandings that you can. Then you will be ready to take full advantage of the new cycle of transformation, rejuvenation and deep awakening that starts on the 19th. Just in time for a truly different New Year!

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)– The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few right now and it will do no good to get into philosophical battles over it, so don’t bother. It’s easy to point out mistakes after the fact. To make the most of current circumstances, try taking action on the many blessings and opportunities that surround you now and into the New Year.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21)– It’s time for you to put the kibosh on gossip and capitalize on powerful business connections. You can cash in on opportunities, especially after the 19th, but only by taking on responsibilities and assuming the role of authority figure. It’s your turn to step up to the plate.
