December Forecast for Pisces

The Effects of Others

December begins with you paying very close attention to what's happening at home. A Full Moon in your 4th House of Home and Family on December 6 might bring emotional news from a relative -- most likely female. You may need to lend support during this time and if so, you'll be the ocean of compassion without hesitation. Just be careful not to drown yourself in the process, Pisces -- you do have a tendency to over-give!

If there's nothing too rattling happening on the domestic scene, this Full Moon might have more to do with a move or change in your home environment. Someone may move out of your home or you might finish up a renovation.

Friendship and media opportunities will be your bright spots this month. On December 10, Venus enters your 11th House of Social Circles, and remains there until January 3. You'll enjoy greater harmony with pals and will have the chance to attend several enjoyable events. After the New Moon on December 21 in the same part of your chart, you'll want to launch a website, accept an invitation to do a radio show, or initiate a social media campaign. Expect dazzling results!

Saturn will change signs on December 23, entering your 10th House of Career for the first time in nearly 29 years. Until December 2017, you'll have an opportunity to make your mark in your profession. If you're not where you want to be just yet, Saturn will help get you there. Roll up your sleeves and prepare to do the work.

Career: Define Your Objectives

This month should bring significant changes to you professionally. You'll begin to examine your goals in a new, more serious way than you have in the past. If what you're doing for a living isn't in line with what you know in your heart will bring you the greatest fulfillment, you may notice that certain problems with work, or connected to your relationship with your boss, begin to surface. They might be slight at first, but if left unexamined you can be sure they will begin to blow up.

The main question to ask yourself is: Am I being true to my objectives? Perhaps you haven't even clearly defined what they are. If so, you'll now have ample opportunity. That's because on December 23, Saturn, the planet of lessons, will enter your professional 10th house, and it will remain in this part of your chart for the next two and a half years.

In certain cases, a transit of Saturn to the top of the chart can turn into a most rewarding experience. If you are working diligently toward achieving goals you know are worth pursuing, then this might be a time of incredible reward. You might become the expert in your field, gain considerable respect and recognition, and feel a solid sense of authority about your profession.

If, however, you aren't aligned to your career path, a status change might be in order. You might feel knocked down by authority figures, and in some cases you might even lose your job so that you're freed up to pursue goals more in line with what you really want. But first, you'll need to define what that is. View this Saturn cycle as an opportunity to master your career path. Be willing to do the work, and you'll surely reap the rewards.

Love: A Dream Come True

On December 10, love planet Venus will enter your social 11th House of Friendship, and if single this will bring plenty of romantic opportunities your way. Have you been wondering whether or not that friend of yours reciprocates your secret crush? If so, this will be the time to put yourself -- and your feelings -- out there. You may be pleasantly surprised! Aim to do so near December 14, when Venus will be at a perfect angle to Neptune, now in your sign. Whether it involves a friend or not, a romantic dream might come true!

From December 10 until January 3, you'll also have wonderful luck in the romance department if you consider using social media or Internet dating websites to meet other singles. Again, try to schedule that first date close to December 14 – that will be your luckiest day in love all month!

Things might get messy in the romance department on December 20. Make sure you don't stalk your ex's Facebook profile or make any comments about your love life on any social media sites. You will surely regret it on this day!

Another "no-no" would be to try to force your sweetheart to mingle with friends of yours that you know he or she just doesn't gel with. If you insist on it, things might get ugly. Instead, why not reassure your lover that he or she is your main priority? If it comes down to choosing to spend time with your mate or your pals on this day, pick wisely. Whatever you decide, it appears there might be fallout. Don't worry, you can handle it. In a crazy way, the tension might even be a turn on!

December Forecast for Aquarius

The Company You Keep

Matters of the heart will be your focus for most of the month, starting with a Full Moon in your 5th House of Romance on December 6. If you recently started to date someone, now you'll have complete awareness about how you really feel about this person. If you're falling head-over-heels in love, this will be the time you let your sweetheart know. If, on the other hand, you realize that this is merely a casual affair with no lasting potential, you'll make a decision about how comfortable you are with the situation.

In some cases, you might find yourself in the midst of a secret love affair, or you might struggle with feelings for someone you know you can't be with. Venus moves into your private 12th House of Seclusion on December 10th and remains there until January 3. If you're in a situation of loving a person only from afar, ask yourself why you're not open to dating someone with whom you can have a true, physical relationship with. Of course, if you're in a relationship and things are going well, this phase might simply be a time you and your love want extra privacy together. In that case, enjoy it!

Saturn moves into your 111th House of Groups and Friendships on December 23. From then until December 2017, you'll be more discerning about the company you keep. You'd rather have fewer friends and know that they are the real deal than many acquaintances you have no true bond with.

Career: Honorable Mention

This month holds monumental potential for career strides. In fact, you might notice a push so significant that it takes you further than you've been able to go since late 2012. This has everything to do with the planet Saturn.

Saturn has been in your 10th House of Profession and Honors since October 2012. During this time you endured major karmic lessons and limitations as the great taskmaster sought to help you crystallize and work on your most vital goals and ambitions. If you have not been following your true vocation this transit might have been quite difficult, and you may have endured one loss after another connecting to your career path. If, however, you are doing exactly what you know fits you, then this time period had all the potential to turn into a major reward cycle. Either way, you needed to roll up your sleeves and do the work.

On December 23, Saturn will leave your 10th house. He'll make a minor appearance from mid-June to mid-September 2015, but other than that he won't return to this part of your chart for another 29 years. Translation? If you have done the work, then this month you're going to receive a sneak peek at the career rewards that are soon to come your way.

This will be in the form of a special honor, promotion or feeling that you have finally arrived. Expect amazing recognition and respect for what you contribute to your field. If you have tried your best to ignore Saturn's teachings, however, this month might lead to a major fall. Then, you'll know it's time to make a change.

Love: Behind Closed Doors

You're hot stuff this month, Aquarius! That's because Mars, the planet of action and energy -- the planet that rules your libido -- will enter your sign on December 4. This fiery event only happens about once every two years, so when it's your turn to host Mars you'll want to make the most of it. You'll enjoy the stimulation he'll provide until January 12. It's time to amp up your love game and use Mars' bravado to give you the courage to pursue the person you have been crushing over for way too long.

In fact, if you act near the Full Moon on December 6, you might be pleasantly surprised. This lunation occurs in your true love sector, and it might lead to very fulfilling evening with someone who captures your heart. Even if you're looking for a little more fun in bed (with a long-term mate or a one-night stand) it appears you're in luck.

What becomes most interesting about your love life after December 10 is the fact that you'll most likely want to keep it private. You and your partner may prefer to remain out of the public view for a bit in order to reconnect without any outside distraction. If you're having any trouble with your mate this will be an ideal time to consider couple's counseling.

With Venus in your 12th House of Secrets and the Subconscious until January 3, you and your lover might have an incredible breakthrough that helps you to improve your relationship.

December Forecast for Capricorn

Free Yourself

You're likely to be in workaholic mode early in the month. A Full Moon on December 6 in your 6th House of Work and Routine may leave you feeling extra anxious about meeting deadlines and completing tasks. Take care not to focus so much on your job that you ignore signals from your body to rest. Incorporate reasonable breaks into your day so that you don't feel drained and overworked.

If you have any health concerns, they're likely to come into focus near this Full Moon as well. Fortunately, awareness will allow you to make any positive changes -- including getting rid of habits that are not serving your body well.

Fortunately, after December 10 you'll feel more vibrant and confident -- and it'll show! Venus will enter your sign, and remains in Capricorn until January 3. Your magnetism will be extra high, so if you're looking to attract that special someone you won't have to work very hard. A New Moon in your sign on December 21 adds to the potential for a personal fresh start in a relationship or in personal endeavors. Make it count!

Your ruling planet, Saturn, enters your 12th House of Privacy on December 23, bringing attention to areas of your life that you prefer to keep under wraps. Now, you'll need to define your anxieties instead of sweeping them under the rug. That's how you'll ultimately free yourself of them once and for all. Goals will also be reassessed during Saturn's two and a half year stay in this part of your chart. Don't be surprised if something you thought was so important to achieve suddenly becomes meaningless. If this happens, let it go.

Career: Give Yourself a Break

Someone at work might be fired or announce that he or she is leaving their position near the Full Moon on December 6. If you own a business it's possible you've been wrestling with the decision to cut your own staff due to budgetary restrictions or an employee's inability to do his or her job adequately. One way or another, changes at the workplace are indicated early in the month -- and they are likely to be emotionally-charged.

Another scenario is that you will complete a major assignment you've been working on for quite some time. This project might have worn you out in some respects, and now you'll be grateful for the extra breathing room. Remember to take some time in December to nourish yourself if you've fallen into workaholic mode lately. We all need a break -- and that includes you.

Venus will enter your sign on December 10, and until January 3 you'll have an edge in the charm department. Use this to schmooze a VIP client you'd like to nab, or to have that talk with your boss about how valuable you are to the company. Adding to the goodness will be a New Moon in your sign on December 21. If there's a new direction you'd like to pursue, either professionally or personally, the two weeks following this lunation will yield the greatest success potential. Go for it!

Love: Making Magic

No matter what else happens in your love life this month, at least you'll look beautiful while it's happening! On December 10, Venus will enter your sign, and she will remain in Capricorn until January 3. When Venus is in your sign your powers of magnetism are enhanced in a remarkable way. Your confidence will also receive a lovely boost, and because you're oozing good vibes, others can't help but be attracted to you.

This will be a sweet time to put yourself out there and date if you've been off the market for a while. Consider a first date with someone special on December 14, when Venus is at a friendly angle to dreamy Neptune. Conversations with a sweetheart on this day will be nothing less than divine!

On December 16, communication planet Mercury will enter your sign, and she remains there until January 4. This will add to your ability to express your ideas and thoughts to others in a clear, confident manner. You'll have little trouble striking up conversation with others, and once you do, you'll hold their interest.

If you're in a relationship this will be a great time to make any vital decisions that you and your partner need to make together. If there's any disagreement you'll have an edge convincing your mate to take your perspective. Venus conjunct Pluto in your sign on December 20 makes it impossible for your lover to resist your charms!

A New Moon in your sign on December 21 will be the icing on the cake! Set your intentions both personally and in your relationship. Initiate anything important to you that you want to succeed, and then watch the magic happen!

December Forecast for Sagittarius

Responsibility is Knocking

A partnership will be your focus early in the month -- either business or personal. The Full Moon on December 6 falls in your 7th House of Partnership, and will highlight your emotional commitments to others, leaving you extra sentimental about your closest alliances. You might deepen your union to your mate or reach a new level of awareness about your connection to one another.

Finances are a bright spot this month thanks to Venus entering your 2nd House of Money on December 10. Venus will remain here until January 3, offering you an opportunity to make the most of your talents and abilities. You'll feel more confident about monetizing them, so it'll be a great time to test out a possible new income stream. Aim for after the New Moon on December 21 to launch any money-making scheme for the greatest support.

Life will begin to take on a more serious tone for you after December 23. In many ways you'll realize that it's time to "grow up" -- even if you're already well into adulthood. Saturn moves into your sign and will remain in Sagittarius until December 2017. With this planetary shift you'll notice greater responsibilities coming your way. The good news is that you're taking them on willingly. In fact, they're likely to be of your own design, carefully crafted to help you build a solid sense of personal identity.

Career: Monetize Your Talents

Finances will be on the uptick after December 10, thanks to Venus moving into your earned income sector. She'll remain in this part of your chart until January 3, allowing you to maximize your earning potential by monetizing your talents. Consider initiating a new revenue stream after the New Moon in the same part of your chart on December 21 -- you can't go wrong!

The headline news for you this month, however, has to do with the planet Saturn. He'll enter your sign for the first time in nearly 29 years on December 23. Saturn will remain in your sign until December 2017, with the exception of a few short weeks next summer. This will have long-term ramifications on you personally and professionally.

The main theme with Saturn in your sign has to do with a responsibility to shine your light in a mature, focused manner. You will seriously take stock of your goals during this time, and you'll have an opportunity to begin a project that is meaningful to your long-term ambitions. You'll work hard to ensure its success.

While it's likely this endeavor will require your patience and dedication, at the same time you'll feel a sense of personal fulfillment like you've never felt before if you can be victorious. Work hard now. Focus on the journey, not the destination and know the reward will come in due time.

Love: Good Vibrations

This month begins a life-changing time that will have far reaching effects in your life, both personally and relationship-wise. That has everything to do with the planet Saturn moving into your sign on December 23. But first, there's plenty of other Astrology to discuss this month. Let's get started!

On December 4, you'll have an amazing day in matters of the heart. Venus, still in your sign until December 10, will be at a gorgeous angle to your ruler, Jupiter. Your feel-good vibes will be contagious on this day, and it'll be impossible not to feel optimistic -- or even overjoyed -- about your romantic prospects.

On December 6, a Full Moon will fall in your partnership sector, allowing incredible moments of insight and awareness about the status of your relationship. If things are going well, this lunation will help nourish your bond even more. If, however, you and your partner are not as emotionally connected as you'd like to be, this lunation will make it impossible to ignore.

The major shift for you this month, however, happens when Saturn, the planet of lessons and maturity, enters your sign on December 23. This event happens only once every 29 years, and until December 2017 you can expect to restructure your identity in ways that help you connect to your truest self. Saturn asks you to take responsibility for whatever it touches in your chart.

Because Saturn is connecting to your Sun -- your very life essence and vitality -- over the next couple of years, this is all about being true to yourself. Defining who you are and expressing this firm identification will certainly affect your love life. Remember, with Saturn, if you do the work you get the reward. Are you ready?

December Forecast for Scorpio

Finances and the Future

Financial news near the December 6 might leave you emotionally rattled, since the Full Moon in Gemini lands in your 8th House of Shared Resources. If you've invested in anything that was high risk, it's possible that you'll be disappointed in the return. Alternatively, you might discover that certain benefits or insurance connected to you or your spouse's employment will change. Do your best to go with the flow instead of giving in to a reaction of panic. Know that whatever awareness you gain about financial matters this month will ultimately put you in a stronger position, but it will take a certain amount of work to get there.

Saturn, the planet of limitation and lessons, has been in your sign since late 2012, and in many ways you're a brand-new person as a result. This planet is fond of testing limits in order to see what you're really made of. You likely experienced at least one situation of your own making that allowed you to prove your maturity. Although rewarding, this might have also been a draining time.

This month -- on December 23 -- Saturn will leave your sign and begin a trek in a new area of your chart. Until December 2017, Saturn will move through your 2nd House of Income. At first, you might experience this transit as constricting. Suddenly, you may feel as if you have to tighten your belt and limit expenses. A source of income may dry up, but if this happens you'll have an opportunity to prove how resourceful you really are.

What's more likely to occur, however, is that with Saturn here you're getting quite serious about money -- and your financial future. You might decide that it's time to save for, or purchase, a big-ticket item such as a home or car. You might even have to bear the responsibility of paying for a child's college education or helping out an elderly relative in need. Whatever the details, you'll come through this in a stronger position both financially and in terms of your self-worth. For now, it'll be a process. Begin it by learning how to do more with less -- even if you don't suffer a financial loss. Prudence will pay off.

Career: Keep Your Cool

If you're looking to gain venture capital for a business startup, you're likely to hear news around December 6. Fulfillment is possible, but you might also need to explore more than one investment source in order to obtain the amount of money you need. That could mean accepting terms on a business loan from your bank while also taking out a line of credit from your home or a loan from an investor. You might even ask your spouse to front you some money for this endeavor.

Contracts and negotiations connected to your job will be touchy on December 15. You might feel an overwhelming sense of frustration at needing to give more than you get. You may also get the sense that someone you work with is trying to get the upper hand, and if so your temper may flare up at this time. Try to keep your cool and avoid engaging in power struggles with coworker or anyone you employ.

If you successfully move past this period you might have tremendous opportunity to be in a powerful position relating to a conversation or contract after December 21. The key to achieving this win will be to navigate unexpected twists and turns without losing your cool. Also, you'll want to play your cards close to your chest without being obvious about it.

Love: Hot Topic

Conversations with your sweetheart should be quite interesting this month. For the most part they'll be harmonious, however there will be a couple of days where fireworks could take over and arguments are possible.

It all starts on December 10, when love planet Venus enters your communication sector and remains there until January 3. With Venus in this part of your chart, you and your mate will have an easier time making joint decisions about anything and everything. Overall, you'll also be sweeter and gentler in conversations, promoting cooperation and exchanging loving sentiments to each other more often.

A five-star day to note is December 14, when Venus makes a beautiful sextile to Neptune, the planet of unconditional love, which is now in your romance sector. You and your lover may have a conversation that leaves no doubt in your mind the two of you are spiritual soul mates.

The exception to this will happen in the days close to December 20, when Venus makes angry links to both controlling Pluto and rebellious Uranus. As long as you carefully navigate past this time and avoid falling into any quarrel, you should be fine. Hot topics to especially avoid near this time are conversations about health, work and schedules, or the division of chores between the two of you if you live together.

December Forecast for Libra

Coming to Fruition

You might finalize a trip abroad near the Full Moon in Gemini on December 6, which lands in your 9th House of Faraway Places. It's possible that you plan on visiting more than one location overseas in a short period of time, either for business or pleasure. You'll be in a good position to make the most of your travels now, and may find that you feel a strong emotional connection to one of the areas you visit.

Another possibility near the 6th is that you'll be ready to finish up a course of study that culminates in a certification or advanced degree. You might also have an emotionally charged awakening relating to your spirituality or religious beliefs.

Expect improvements on the domestic front after December 10. From December 10 - January 3 Venus will tour your 4th House of Home and Family, helping you achieve a greater sense of peace and balance with your clan. You might also decide to initiate a renovation project or make a major purchase for your home. If you do, it will likely be something that goes up in value. At the very least, you'll truly love whatever you buy -- even if it is pricy. If you're thinking about purchasing real estate or moving, wait until after the New Moon on December 21 for the greatest cosmic support.

If you're married, you and your partner may not be in exact agreement over a current family matter. On December 15, when Uranus and Pluto square off, there might even be a volatile argument about this situation leaving you to wonder how the two of you could be so divided over an issue that affects you both equally. Do your best to work through it, but if you can't, you'll have to be honest with each other.

On December 23 a major shift happens in the sky that will affect your karmic lessons throughout December 2017. Saturn will enter your 3rd House of Communication in a clear, authoritative manner. If you work with Saturn properly now you'll have an ability to become a true expert in at least one area.

Career: Communicate Clearly

If you've been studying for a certification, license or advanced degree, there's a chance that on December 6 you'll either complete your course of study or have a very real sense of seeing the end in sight. The good news is that any time you've invested in your education will certainly pay off in terms of your ability to climb your personal ladder of success. Job opportunities might have depended on your willingness to keep up with current trends in your industry. You'll have little problem doing so.

The emphasis on communication and thinking will continue to be critical for you all month long. On December 23, Saturn, the planet of lessons and responsibility, will enter your 3rd House of Information. This is the area of your chart that rules thinking, and expressing your ideas at a rudimentary level. Now, you'll enter a karmic phase where you have an obligation to yourself to master your intake and output of information.

You might feel more insecure about your intellectual ability initially -- especially if your boss or other authority figures make critical remarks about your ideas. If this happens, recognize it as an opportunity to confront your fears and master communication at a deep level. In fact, you'll have the chance to become an expert in a certain area if you choose to put in the work.

Be clear in all of your communications, and convey information to others with the same thoughtful clarity. Your mind will garner the respect it deserves, and ultimately that will pay off in professional success. But first, you'll have to do the work necessary to earn that respect. You're ready.

Love: Family Matters

Whether you're single or attached, be sure to circle December 4 on your calendar -- in the shape of a heart! Venus, now in your communication sector, will be at a dazzling trine to Jupiter, now in your social 11th House of Friendship. Arrange to have a conversation or meet someone for a first date who you met on an Internet dating site or through a friend. If you're in a relationship, you and your mate will enjoy a wonderful social time with mutual friends. You may also have a magnificent discussion about how you can help one another achieve a long-held aspiration.

Mars will also move into your 5th House of Romance and Pleasure on December 4, and will remain there until January 12. This will motivate you to pursue the object of your affection with greater courage. As an added bonus, your sex life may also improve!

On December 10, Venus will move into a new area of your chart -- the 4th House of Home and Family -- where she'll stay until January 3. Matters of the heart will connect more to your domestic life and family situations. For the most part this should be harmonious, however there are a couple of dates where you might not want to mix your partner with relatives.

On December 15, Uranus will square off with Pluto, and then, on December 20, Venus will make angry links to Uranus and Pluto. Family conflict that involves your relationship might be unavoidable during this time. Handle with care!

[thezodiaczone]

December Forecast for Virgo

Building Your Future

This month your mind goes from career matters to romance -- and it all appears quite exciting!

A Full Moon in your 10th House of Career on December 6 might put you in the spotlight for a professional achievement. You may receive an award, honor, or praise from your boss. You might also feel as if you've reached a pinnacle in your industry, and that you're finally recognized as a leader in your field. Expect respect and admiration.

Then, on December 10 the love plant Venus enters your 5th House of Romance, and will remain there until January 3. With Venus in this part of your chart, you'll feel as if you and your partner are in the delightful early dating stages all over again. Butterflies in your stomach and romantic dates will be par for the course. If you're single, then you will have one of your best opportunities all year to find love. A New Moon in the same part of your chart on December 21 adds to the potential, so be sure to circulate!

If you're thinking about having a child, this New Moon will also be quite supportive. If you have children already, expect a positive development for one of them -- most likely the oldest.

Over the next two and a half years you might focus on building a solid foundation for you and your clan.

Career: Getting the Edge

Get ready to beat your old records when it comes to meeting deadlines! On December 4, Mars, the planet of action and ambition, will enter your 6th House of Work and Productivity. He'll remain in this part of your chart until January 12, and during this time you'll have more energy to work on even the most tedious of assignments.

You'll also feel an edge in your competitive side, so if you're in the freelance industry you'll be more aggressive about nabbing top notch assignments. Same goes for your office work if there's a project that several of your co-workers are drooling over. You've got this!

The only drawback to having Mars in this part of your chart is that it might encourage you to be crasser towards employees or fellow colleagues. Don't allow your ambition and desire to increase your own productivity also increase your criticism for anyone else who can't keep up with your pace. Also, be on guard to ensure that you're not working too fast. You won't feel good about careless errors.

In other news, a dazzling Full Moon in your career sector may put you in the spotlight for a career achievement near December 6.

You might even feel as if you're having an affair with your partner!

December 14 is a five-star day to note in terms of love. Venus will be at a perfect angle to Neptune, now in your 7th House of Relationships. You and your mate will feel a blissful soul-mate connection. Spirituality between the two of you will also be enhanced, so the bond will definitely transcend the physical.

A deliciously romantic day on December 4 will leave you seeing stars! While the love planet Venus trines lucky Jupiter, now in your sign, be sure to spend time with your sweetheart on this day -- you won't regret it. Anticipate plenty of loving vibes along with compliments. An indulgent gift is also a possibility.

Friendship and your social networks will be the focus on December 6, when the Full Moon in Gemini lands in your 11th House of Social Circles. You might need to lend a pal extra emotional support. Another possibility is that you'll be asked to take on a deeper role in a group you're a member of. You might be asked to lecture or serve on the board of directors. In other news, a long held dream of yours may finally manifest now. You'll be thrilled!

Are you looking for extra work or to make a lateral job move? If so, be sure to circulate resumes after the New Moon on December 21.

If you employ others, this will be a great time to hire anyone like a nanny, housekeeper, or even staff for your company.

On December 23, Saturn moves into a new part of your chart for the first time since October 2012. This is important since Saturn symbolizes lessons and responsibility. Now, Saturn will make his mark on your 5th House of Love, Children and Self-expression. With Saturn here until December 2017, you'll have an opportunity to define what you really want and deserve in a romantic relationship. You might also take on extra responsibility if you have children. A creative block is possible, but if this happens you'll work through it and delineate the artist within.

Career: Mending Fences

Harmony in the workplace will prevail, and job opportunities will flourish this month, thanks to a confluence of astrological influences in your favor.

It all starts on December 10, when Venus enters your 6th House of Work, where she'll remain until January 3. During this time you can anticipate more peace between you and colleagues. If you have been going through any contentious situations on the job (quite possible, as Mars was in this part of your chart until December 4), you'll be relieved to know that it'll be possible to mend fences now.

If you own your own business and you need to hire any staff, whomever you take on after the December 10 will likely be a happy fit. If you're working on any freelance assignment or major project on the job, you're likely to truly enjoy the work you're doing now. Yes!

Making this month even sweeter will be the New Moon that falls in the same part of your chart on December 21. After this lunation, you'll have a cosmic green light to send out resumes and begin interviewing for a new position if you're interested in making a lateral move. You might also nab a phenomenal assignment that everyone in your industry is vying for. Lucky you!

Love: Listen to Your Heart

Make the most of love planet Venus as she continues to tour your 5th House of Pleasure and Romance until December 10. On December 4, she'll be at a glorious trine to Jupiter, now in your sign. This is a five-star day for love potential! If you're in a relationship, you and your sweetheart will enjoy all the delicious delights that couplehood has to offer. If single, you might meet someone very special -- be sure to socialize!

If you're in a relationship, you may notice more heat between you and your love after December 4. That's because Mars, the planet of action and passion, will enter your 7th House of Committed Partnerships, and he will remain in this part of your chart until January 12. You might feel the urge to stir the pot with your mate more during this time. Arguments that lead to amazing make-up sex are equally possible!

Matters of the heart will take a serious turn after December 23. Saturn, the planet of lessons and responsibility, will enter your 5th House of True Love at this time. For the next two and a half years you'll have an opportunity to gain mastery over opening your heart and giving love. This may not be easy to achieve at first, because Saturn will also demand that you take a more sober approach to romance. Flighty affairs might not appeal to you, and if a lover isn't worth your time and effort, you won't waste a moment more on him or her.

In certain cases Saturn here may restrict opportunities for romance, or it could bring a relationship your way with circumstances that challenge the two of you. If this happens, you'll need to decide whether or not you feel strong enough about the person to work through the tests. Listen to your heart.
