Full moon December 4

New Moon December 20

Winter Solstice December 21

December can be a difficult month for single people, financially challenged people, and people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Try to find the joy in moments as opposed to material possessions. Give and receive compliments to your friends and co-workers. Smile at strangers and wish everyone you see a happy holiday. The more joy you put out into the world, the more it will come back to you. Before you know it, you'll find yourself beaming with happiness too–just like the Grinch finally did.

The full moon on December 4 is a good time to let go of hurtful relationships whether they are with lovers or family. The solstice on December 21 is a great time to sit down with paper and candles to make a list for the coming year. Set out your goals on a tiny piece of paper, roll it up small, and then wrap it with red and gold thread. Hide it somewhere safe until next year when you can unroll it and see how far you’ve come.

Business should show some signs of growth and prosperity this season. You may find yourself connecting with maternal type women or you may even see your own mother in a different light.

Gifts for Taurus can include pillows made from rich, earth toned fabrics, velvet clothes, bottles of a good quality wine and the very best chocolates your money can buy.


Gemini: Two of swords

You have some pretty big decisions to make, and you keep putting them off. The funny thing is, (that’s funny strange, not funny haha) you are only fooling yourself. You already know what you have to do, you just don't want to do it. Bite the bullet and do what it is you need to do. You will feel better for it. Gemini is quick witted and quick minded and often loves communication, so word games, puzzles, video games, ipods, and cell phones are all good gifts.


Cancer: Ten of pentacles

Family is your main concern this month. As a family-oriented person, you want everyone around you to enjoy the holiday season. Sometimes you have to be more responsible then you like to be, in order to maintain your financial security. In the end, you know it will pay off. Gifts for cancer can include water fountains, wine, pretty glasses, handmade gifts from children, jewelry, paintings, and books.


Leo: Fool

This month you need to let go, and follow your heart on life's grand adventure. It’s time to set a new course and go wherever the wind takes you. Don’t be afraid to try new experiences. Take chances but also listen to your gut feelings about things.

Leos love anything that makes them feel like royalty. Shiny glittery jewelry, mirrors, brushes, designer clothes and fashionable purses are all good gifts for a Leo.


Virgo: Six of wands

You are going to be respected for something you did. You may get a raise or promotion or maybe special recognition. Don’t get caught up in all your glory, remember what goes up usually comes crashing down. Virgos are rather practical people who often worry about their health, so gifts that can help them organize their environment are often good bets. Cd holders, appointment books, desk calendars, a gym membership, a pedometer, or a new health food product are good ideas.


Libra: Seven of wands

Libra is all over the place this month. Everyone is vying for your attention and you have to remember that sometimes you just can’t please everyone. You need to find the balance of how to fit in family and career. You may find yourself suddenly the center of attention or your dating email box suddenly overflowing. Gifts for Libra include tickets to the theater or some other kind of show, gift certificates for restaurants, pretty clothes, scarves, belts and other accents, or books.


Scorpio: Six of Cups

In this season of celebration, you are going to hear from distant friends. Perhaps an old lover or schoolmate will give you a call or pop you an email. This out of the blue connection could lead to something interesting. It may be a creative enterprise or a job opportunity. You may even experience reconciliation with an old lover. This is a time of nostalgia. Scorpios love books, computer gadgets, restaurants, cds, old movies, and theatre. Appeal to his or her flirtatious side with some naughty underwear or a sexy joke book.


Sagittarius: Two of Wands

You are hoping against hope for things to change. The situation is ok but you crave more adventure. You long to travel and may be able to fit in a little side trip. If you’re in a relationship, it’s not really floating your boat. You find yourself flirting more than usual. You have a secret admirer that you’re overlooking. Sag’s love to travel and anything relating to traveling, from gadgets to books to cd’s is sure to be a hit. Notebooks are good for them to scribble their frantic thoughts into. They like books, videogames, movies, and collectable toys.


Capricorn: Six of Pentacles

You may find yourself volunteering for a charity over the holiday season. You’re good with juggling finances but you may find yourself at the receiving end of generosity if you don’t stay on top of everything. People are drawn to your charm and grace, and always the actor, you know how to make people feel at ease. Capricorns have good taste, and enjoy the best labels in wine and clothes, the newest tools, the coolest kitchen gadgets, but in their color scheme.


Aquarius: The Star

This is your month to shine, Aquarius. People listen intently as you share your worldly advice about many ideas. It seems like whatever you wish, will come true. You are the center of attention at parties. Try to stay focused on one plan at a time. You can manifest your desires. Aquarius is curious, intelligent, and likes weird stuff. Books, cds, movies, knick-knacks, candles, and crystals are all good ideas. Funky clothes and hats will be a hit, too. If you’ve been wondering who to give that fake stuffed mermaid to, or that beaver skull you found on the side of the road, Aquarius will appreciate it.


Pisces: Ten of swords

You feel as though you’ve been stabbed in the back. Maybe you’ve been betrayed or perhaps you’re just burned out. You may have back problems during this time so don’t lift heavy objects. Basically, you’ve pretty much hit rock bottom, emotionally, physically, and mentally. The worst is over. There’s nowhere to go but UP from here. Pisces is a dreamy escapist and enjoy movies, theatre, concerts, paintings, liquors, chocolates and furry things, like pets.
