Horoscope for the Week beginning Dec. 2
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The final month of 2016 has begun. In this Universal 9-Year, Sagittarius the ninth Sign and this last month of the year both synchronize with some important themes. Specifically, these refer to endings and, in the higher sense, to graduations. While this is ever true of December in regard to Winter Solstice, a.k.a. the natural New Year, and to December 31, which highlights the final breath of the societal year count, it is especially poignant this year.
The previous Universal 9-Year was 2007 and in many respects it was a major turning point for us all and this is especially true with regard to the fast approaching Universal 1-Year that 2017 represents, as was 2008.
From a whole perspective, the current planetary alignments indicate the need to awaken from our denials and imbalances, both individually and collectively. Yes, the scales are loaded once again. The effects or karmic returns get tallied in the ninth year. The following year, the one-year, ever manifest as a time of new beginnings and these are seldom easy. They require pioneering courage and resolve.
Sagittarius-ruled Jupiter in Libra (Sept. 9 – Oct. 10, 2017) is already serving to address the loaded scales. The recent New Moon, which included an exact conjunction with asteroid Goddess Juno, mythological wife of Jupiter (Zeus), and Mercury and Saturn all in Sagittarius, will contribute to this karmic balancing process over the coming weeks. Juno is symbolic of issues linked to inequality and injustice as well and, while in Sagittarius, the emphasis is on principles. Mars currently and Venus as of Dec. 7 will further contribute to this revolutionary impulse.

Dec. 2 – 8
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
You are in a philosophical mood. Combined with an urge to socialize, you are willing to venture out and engage with others to exchange perspectives. You may even find yourself in new territory altogether. Yet, you want practical answers as well, knowledge that you can actually use.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You have begun to dig deeper and push harder. The direction of your focus may be as much within as outer assertions. Feeling as confident as you would like about the returns for your efforts, is featured. You are on the hunt for inspiration, guidance, answers, and resources to leverage your position.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A social and playful cycle continues. Yet it is spliced with a serious tone as well. You want to feel productive and not simply inspired. A push for measurable results has begun. Engaging others so that they take action as well feels important to support an atmosphere of mutuality and synergy.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Focusing to feel more confident is on your mind. Questions about what steps and measures you can take are on your mind. Reaching out for support from others is likely. Learning ‘how to’ yourself, versus simply receiving is important, lest you become dependent. Focus on what is fair for all concerned.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Getting organized with your creative focus continues. You have a longer list of goals than usual. Time management is extra important. You probably need to get clear on your outcome in each case. Identify what each area of focus requires and bring each forward to be recognized and given its due time and attention.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The time has come to grow new roots. If you are taking action now and learning how to earn more money you are on a successful track. Whether you are fine-tuning your existing talents, gifts and skills, or learning new ways to share them with others, your timing is great. Replace fear with action.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
You are learning to see the world anew. The urge to break free from restrictive attitudes, interpretations and behavior patters is growing stronger by the day. Avoid regrets and tap into the ‘power of now’. Forgive yourself, forgive others, forgive existence itself for hosting this drama called life and make a fresh start.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A search for inspiration, guidance and vision to increase your personal power base is underway. In addition to working hard, you may feel that you have to dig deeper into your reserves of faith than ever before. Your ability to enjoy the process itself will help a lot. The deeper work includes core changes in your daily routine.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Money is probably a big motivation for you now. That phrase, ‘Go BIG or go home’ was probably coined by one of you centaurs. So, now you find yourself saying it to yourself. Your expansion plan includes reaching out to meet and greet, to make new friends and attract new fans and clients too.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A lot is happening for you, perhaps especially behind the scenes and/or in the back of your mind. The focus and quality of your commitments are featured. Striking a balance between what you feel you genuinely need and what seems fair for all concerned is a core theme. To support this balance, seek to understand as much as to be understood.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Increase and expansion are keywords for you now. They are probably linked to knowledge, making key connections and increasing your popularity. This trend will continue and increase noticeably over the coming weeks. Taking the initiative to see familiar things, people and approaches differently will help. Once you do, take action on your new perspectives to integrate them.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20
Taking new leads in your public and professional life is important now. This includes making key contacts with friends and professional allies. The more engaged you are with others, the better. Doing so will serve to support your focus. Be accountable to your dreams and the network of people you have chosen to help you realize them.
