December 2008 Horoscopes
AriesEnthusiasm arises when we feel part of a grand effort to realize a higher vision of what is possible in human society. Sometimes, though, our zeal leads us to actions that have negative consequences. It takes more than enthusiasm and zeal to be of service. It also takes wisdom, and wisdom is often the result of making mistakes. What this means is that it is better to act than to do nothing. But, we don’t have to push forward blindly. There are those who have already passed this way. There are those who can teach and guide the young in the best way forward. This is a time to open your mind to the wisdom of a mentor or a teacher. Then your enthusiasm will produce results that will dazzle the world.TaurusYou can now feel a powerful surge of creative energy welling up in your body. For many, this energy is mostly wasted because it isn’t properly channeled. You now have the ability to use discipline and wisdom and to skillfully direct this Dionysian energy in ways that will promote healing and peace. It takes courage and even audacity to break from conventional ways of living and to be a leader instead of a blind follower. The master is never a slave to passion yet he is always passionate. Don’t be like the person described by Oscar Wilde, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.” Break free and live your life.GeminiThe New Moon arouses your passions and your ambitions. If you can’t find a really constructive and positive channel for all this energy, you could be subject to headaches and insomnia. The best thing would be to begin a physical exercise program. Normally, this would be a time of increased sexual stamina and expression, but Saturn in the Fifth inhibits your libido, especially since Uranus in the House of Self-Undoing is sending you all kinds of strange intuitions and signals that could throw you off your game. Maybe it’s time for a new game. Maybe it’s time for a new vision. If it looks to you like your audience doesn’t like your performance, it means that you must perfect your skills further. Let go of the ego and free your mind.CancerThe electro-magnetic currents flowing through and over the earth at this time awaken in those ruled by the Bull to seek ways to transcend the material realities of their existence. You examine your connection to family, and reexamine your obligations. By raising your vision higher, you find yourself integrated into family that transcends normal boundaries. When you can get past the material, you can then access your intuition. You can now be guided to a realization of the occult forces that underlie all of manifestation. It is infinitely more complex and rich and even terrifying that the simple Law of Attraction spoken of in the DVD, The Secret. For May, there is a portal open for you through which you can make contact with the custodians of the mysteries. Only you can say whether or not you are ready to pass through it.LeoDecember brings the opportunity for a new vision of who you are with regard to the material world. Old attitudes that have not served you well can now be cast aside to make room for expansion into a higher dimension of mastery over your material and physical resources. Often we cut ourselves off from the help of the spiritual realm and those who inhabit that realm due to stubbornness or to ignorance. The key is surrender. Realize that you are but a small child who never stops growing. With growth come crises. There are those who have traveled your path before you. There are those who can help you meet the challenges of life successfully. Integration and liberation leading to a life filled with beauty and bliss await the person who becomes as a little child and enters into the Kingdom of Heaven.VirgoHow often we want things out of life, but it seems that the object of our desire remains forever just beyond our reach. For the month of December, perhaps it’s time for the Crab to learn a new way to pursue goals and dreams. Rather than constantly reaching out and trying to capture what you want, you could try serenading it. Learn to sing a seductive song so that what you desire comes to you, irresistibly and inexorably. Some say all of creation came into manifestation by the power of sound. There is something terribly seductive and beautiful about your aura now. Tune in to it, and let your heart sing its divine melody to the universe. What you want will come to you.LibraYou now find yourself making camp in a new territory. For some time now you have been on a journey of discovery. You have set out on a quest for a new land in which to settle and prosper. You have accumulated many new skills; you have achieved much, and now it is time to put what you know into practice. It will take much skill and concentration and you will need to constantly adapt to the rapidly changing times. You have become quite sensitive to the emotional, psychic and sexual currents that flow beneath the surface within groups and between individuals. The person who can control and master the movement of this energy possesses the secret of creation. This is a time to cultivate faith and patience.ScorpioThe lamp of your divine consciousness now illumines the mysteries of why you are here, and what truly is your chosen path. You see now that your body is a temple in which is enacted the ritual of your life, leading to an awakening of great power. You can now organize your efforts, because you see the reason and logic behind your life. It provides you with a new vision. It is as if you have journeyed to a new land where the possibilities are endless. The doubts and fears that have kept you in limbo are washed away with the joy of the creative power that is surging through you now. Your words now have great influence on others.SagittariusI see you emerging from a long period of exile in which your faith has been tested. You are a like a large diamond, now being readied for cutting and polishing. It is the first stages in the process that will bring out the best in what talents and unique skills you have to offer to the world. You are like the albatross that has journeyed far on a solo journey over unmarked seas, and you have now overcome the fear of your destiny. You are now ready to accept the spiritual gifts that can renew your strength. Awakening to a sense of your own self worth will allow you to shine your light brilliantly, and rewards, both material and spiritual, will be showered upon you.CapricornThe New Moon brings opportunities for a profound awakening to new ways serving humanity. It is as if you have been submerged in the sea, only now emerging to the surface but now having the wisdom that immersion in the subconscious realms can bring with it. We all have deep in our submerged psyches talents that we do not suspect. This month brings the opportunity to dedicate yourself to an ideal of life that will bring many opportunities for the demonstration of your special gifts. Your dedication to perfection can inspire others to new heights of realization and achievement. AquariusDecember offers Sagittarians an opportunity to try out a new approach without the risk of failure. It is as if there is a protective aura that shields you from negative consequences if your actions are not perfectly executed. With the great God of Wisdom and Plenty moving in retrograde, you may find your first attempts to require adjustment based on the experiences you gain from trying out a new set of beliefs. It’s a time when you are able to balance out your outer activities and your inner growth, bringing about a harmony between the inner and the outer. This is the perfect time to carefully analyze and test the beliefs that you normally take for granted. If you succeed, you will learn to cultivate an intuitive understanding of your life and your place in society that you can trust.PiscesIf you are able to let go of rigid structures that separate you from truly participating in life with others, this can be a time of great enjoyment and growth of creative potential. However, you could also be called upon to exert tremendous energy to contain the wildfire of the creative energy that is released now. It may be that you become enflamed with passion to rid yourself of karmic obstacles that keep you locked into old habits of thought and expression. You must work hard to make sure that in your zeal and single-minded rush forward you do not burn the bridges that connect you to the ones you love and cherish. When a loving and gentle heart awakens creativity, wisdom arises to guide us forward. This is a true blessing.
