In the Northern Hemisphere, the December Solstice is the first day of winter and a time of inward reflection. In the Southern Hemisphere, the December Solstice is the start of summer and a time of outward expression.

No matter where in the world you live, the December Solstice has always been linked to the planet Saturn. This is because the Solstice is marked by the Sun’s move into Saturn’s ruling constellation of Capricorn.

When the Sun reaches the constellation of the mountain goat, it signifies a turning point, as it is the last quarter cycle of the astrological year.

In astrology, the new year is celebrated when the Sun shifts into Aries, which happens in March, and as the Sun moves into Capricorn, it is symbolic that the end of another year is fast approaching.

Although today the start of the new year is celebrated as the calendar flips over to 2018, this turning point can still be felt as we prepare to wind up the year gone by.

As the Sun shifts into Capricorn, we are going to be reminded to not only reflect on the year gone by but to also slow down and check in with where we are at.

We have to take a moment to pause and work out if our actions are aligned with where we want to be.

In the Northern Hemisphere, we can take clues from Mother Earth on where we should be focusing our energy and attention.

As it is winter, the trees are bare, the animals are in hibernation, all of nature is slowing down in order to regenerate.

We too need to follow in the same tracks and conserve our energy for the climb ahead. After the Solstice dawns, it is going to be important for us to move at a slower pace and to not rush ahead.

While things may seem slow moving on the outside, on the inside however, it is very different.

As we “hibernate” and take it slow, we are given the opportunity to take a look into our inner world.

Most of us spend the year in a constant state of busyness so we never really stop to pause and see what is bubbling within. But with the December Solstice energy, we are all going to be given the opportunity to take a peek at what is happening on a heart and soul level.

The December Solstice is often called the Dark Night of the Soul for this very reason.

On the 21st of December when the hours of light and dark battle it out, we are all given the opportunity to retreat within and to discover ourselves on a new level.

If there are issues that have been tucked away in hiding, or unresolved thoughts and emotions, this is the time of year where they may resurface in order to be cleansed and renewed.

December Solstice time can be very cleansing, as long as we embrace the energy and don’t shy away from any painful emotions or past regrets that needs to be cleared.

In the Southern Hemisphere, this energy is present but it manifests a little differently. Again, we can look for clues in Mother Nature.

In the summertime, everything is in bloom and is able to express itself to the fullest. The flower buds are open, the birds are chirping, everything is very active and expressive.

This makes it a wonderful time to tap into your inner self and express it outwards for all of the world to see. Instead of hibernating, you are encouraged to get out into the world and take action in the direction that feels the best.

While it is still at time to reflect, your reflections can lead to positive actions that help you to move forward and make progress in whatever direction you choose.

Even though the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are receiving a different expressions of this energy, they both exist in harmony with each other as well. Think of it like a yin and yang symbol.

Both energies are different, but together they make a whole. In the Northern Hemisphere the energy has shifted to a more feminine, inward state, and in the Southern Hemisphere the energy is more masculine and outward, but both of these energies work in sync with one another.

The December Solstice is the perfect time to check in with your soul and to really take responsibility for the direction of your life.

In 2017 in particular, it is going to be really important to take things slow and to not put too much on your plate at this time.

Use this Solstice energy to take some downtime, and to really feel the calling of your heart.

When you take time to pause and tune in to your inner state, life becomes more fluid and far more grounded, and this is the exact energy we need as we venture into the new cycle.

Ancient Taoist and Egyptian rituals included use of menstrual blood which was believed to enhance spiritual power. A woman on her period was considered to hold the power of creation and wisdom and the people of the tribe looked up to them for guidance.

A woman’s menstrual cycle in linked to the moon and the tides. The word menstruation in Greek is linked to “moon”, “power” and “month”. Women often bled together on the new moon and ovulated at the hour of the full moon.

Around 5000 years ago, when the goddess worship started giving way towards a more male-dominated patriarchal mode of worship, the idea of menstruation began to be associated with impurity, menstruating women were barred from entering places of worship, coking and having sex.

Regardless, women while menstruating, often experience profound spiritual connection although most Western ideology suppresses acknowledgement of this divine gift.

Painful or uncomfortable menstruation is believed to be a result of rejection of femininity; culture has moulded women to be embarrassed or shameful when menstruating.

Recommended: 7 Emotions We All Feel Before A Full Moon

The divine moon cycle can help you get in touch with your spiritual creativity, and here are a few tips on how to.

Day 1: The Beginning and the end

The first day, the beginning of a new cycle and the end of an old one, marks the ‘death’ phase of the death-rebirth sequence.

The old lining of the uterus is shed for a new sustaining lining to take its place, symbolizing a woman’s discard of past emotional baggage as she enters into a new phase.

Day 2-7: Bleeding

During this phase, creativity grows and flourishes.

Journeying inward becomes easier, writing, creating art, retreating into oneself and remaining undisturbed can help the woman get in touch with her divine, intuitive side.

This however is a time if vulnerability, so avoiding harsh music, loud scenes and uncomfortable company is suggested.

Day 8-14: Ovulation

During this phase, the ovary prepares to release an egg and this is the peak of the feminine creativity and a surge in sexual energy.

This is the perfect time to start new projects, conceive new ideas or begin a new life.

Studies show that men are subconsciously more attracted to women during this phase of their menstrual cycle.

Day 15-21: Harvest

This post ovulatory phase is one of reminiscence and contemplation.

The woman often recollects her achievements if the past month and this stems from a subconscious relief or regret of the psyche at not becoming pregnant.

This is the phase of change and confrontation when the woman decides to snip out the unnecessary and bygone elements of her life.

Day 22-28: Shedding

This is the phase of shedding, of clarity and action.

This is the time when the woman needs to be less emotionally available to others, to clear all useless excesses that is holding her back.

Often women do not realise the loss of this gift until they cross into menopause. So embrace the gift of divinity and spirituality and release your inner power.

On the 9th of December 2017 at 8:59 UT Mars entered Scorpio, its second House, according to the traditional astrology.

It will remain there until the 26th of January 2018 and during the whole period – and some time after it – will be very active.
Right now, Mars in Scorpio cooperates with the retrograde Mercury and with Saturn.

Although the hexagon with Mercury will cease acting on the 13th of the month, the hexagon with Saturn still has enough time of activity ahead, until the 26th of the month. We’ve seen in the Full Moon’s articles how the new position of Mars affects the Mars-Mercury-Saturn influences.

But, also, from the 16th of December on, Mars will be in conjunction with Jupiter. This will be accurate on the 7th of January 2018, but it will be active until the 27th of that month.

Even more, from the 22nd of December, Mars will start forming a hexagon with Pluto, the modern astrology’s ruler of Scorpio. This hexagon will become accurate on the 8th of January 2018 and will be active until the 26th of that month. All this auspicious activity will provide great help in our daily lives and in our magic.

Mars in Scorpio and Sex and Passion:

By entering Scorpio, Mars brings back in the foreground the necessity of sexual fulfillment. It encourages us to act on this need, and will also provide opportunities to do so. Especially so, as it conjuncts Jupiter almost the whole time.

Sexual pleasure and fulfilment will me a main subject in our love lives, of course. Existing relationships can be more active in bed and also try new things.

Those relationships that don’t provide enough sexual pleasure, will suffer, and even end, in some cases. Erotic passion, of course, can be expressed in other ways than sex.

If, because of your age or circumstances, actual intercourse is not possible, raise the passion in other ways. Of course, for those seeking a relationship, sexual attractiveness and, then, fulfilment will be an important parameter.

Aries, Scorpio and Taurus, as well as those having their ascendant there, or these signs are strong in their natal chart, will feel this influence even more powerfully.

Keep in mind that this need is not to be ignored, for it is exactly that. A Need. Mars will neither ask, nor beg. It will demand we’ll enjoy our sexuality and satisfy our sexual needs.

If we obey its command, then a general good luck, optimism, self-confidence, creativity and happiness will be present in all aspects of our lives. Not only in our romantic and sexual affairs.

On the other hand, if we choose to ignore or suppress this demanding tendency, then a sense of depression, pessimism, a general lack of energy and enthusiasm, bad luck, and lack of creativity will be regular visitors in our lives.

Even more so as Pluto joins the game. So, at the very least, use our “A Mantra for Pleasure and Happiness” to help you spiritually satisfy your sexual needs and freely express your sexuality.

Mars in Scorpio and Exaggerations:

Exaggeration is also a tendency Mars in Scorpio creates. Being in conjunction with Jupiter will make this tendency much too strong. All our emotions will become very strong and, occasionally, overwhelming.

This goes both for positive and negative emotions. Our passions, erotic or not, follow the same pattern. For instance, are you passionate about your work, or a hobby? Then this is a time you can become very creative there, but do try to avoid obsession.

Our talents also can be cultivated much during this period. This is a good thing, of course, but regarding this too, try to avoid obsession.

Bodily activity and our body’s image become important as well. Although Mars can give us enough motivation to follow a diet either to gain weight, or reduce it, this can be a double edged knife.

Be careful! Try gentle diets for these purposes rather than extreme ones, and of course, ask for your health care professional’s advice first. As Mars is in conjunction with Jupiter, gaining weight is more favoured than reducing it, but again, ask a health care professional for their advice before changing your eating habits.

Exercising is also a way for this tendency to express itself. Again, try to avoid exaggerations and obsessions and take your doctors advice before engaging in such activities. Accidents can also happen in such activities, especially when Mars is stressed by the Moon.

So, be extra careful. Even more so, if you choose to do the high-risk kind of such activities. The latter ones can become very seductive, too, during Mars’ presence in Scorpio. Both Pluto’s and Jupiter’s influence add to it.

Mars in Scorpio and Health:

In general, Mars’ presence in Scorpio provides the body with enough energy to maintain its good health, or deal with whatever health issue already exists. Because of the exaggeration tendency, though, health can be sensitive.

Alcoholism, drug addiction, drug abuse and things like those can become stronger and cause more health issues, too. Pluto adds to this tendency quite a bit. Accidents also can happen, as we’ve said.

Also, be extra careful when you are dealing with electricity and fire. Electricity and fire fall under Mars’ influence, after all. Not exactly a health issue, but, electric devices may malfunction during this period.

But most of all, our sexual health becomes important, and can become sensitive too. Be extra careful and always play safe. Venereal diseases, as well as other health issues of the genitals can occur. So, not only in sex, but in your hygiene be careful and thorough. Once again, not obsessively so. Obsession can cause damage, too, you know.

Mars in Scorpio and the Arts:

Mars in Scorpio, as we’ve seen, encourages our talents, including our artistic ones. Arts related with erotic passions, mystery, thriller, magic tricks, or raise the adrenaline will be the most favored ones.

Advancing in these arts and being more creative there, is possible during this period. If your profession is related to these arts, both as an artist and as a seller of art, or as a manager of artists, then fame and profit can come your way. Jupiter’s influence also raise the possibilities for these.

Mars in Scorpio and Work:

The main rule is, if you are passionate about your job, then this is going to be a beneficial period for you. Existing problems and discords in your work area, can become more intense, though. Try to control, or avoid such circumstances.

Professions that deal with illusions, magic, spirituality, death, sex and any kind of danger will be very active. In most cases in a beneficial way, but when there is a danger, be extra careful.

Mars in Scorpio and Magic:

Scorpio is a zodiac of Magic, and now it has both its rulers adding to it. Pluto has already started influencing Scorpio through its hexagon with Jupiter and will continue doing so until next November, if you remember.

Even more, during this period the two lords of meditation, Saturn and Mercury, bless Mars in Scorpio; the two lords of manifestation, Jupiter and Saturn, bless it; the two lords of luck, Jupiter and Sun (from December 16 to February 6), do so, too. And this is just some of the focus there. So, all magic is strong during this period.

It goes without saying that Magic related to sex and passion, is the strongest. This includes raising of sexual potency and libido, enhancing seductiveness, strengthening self confidence, attracting sexual pleasures and practising sex Magic. But not only these, of course.

Empowering your magical and spiritual abilities, acquiring new ones – especially after Mercury turns in direct motion – making contact with the other planes, and things like those are also very much supported.

But even if your magical interests are nowhere near these subjects, let me say it again: All Magic is Exceptionally Strong during this period. And, lucky us, the Solstice falls in this magically powerful period. Whether this will be Yule or Litha for you, make the best out of it!

Sagittarius New Moon On December 18th, 2017 – Get Ready For A Long-Term Commitment

And saving this combination from becoming tragic is the Uranus trine. This time is ripe for making serious changes in your life. And there will be no harsh break from the past which is usual in such situations.

So you can finally have your cake and eat it too. It is also a very good time to meet a new partner and be in a serious committed relationship. You should utilize this time by bringing in more positivity.

Astrology

This New Moon is under the influence of three planets. Venus and Uranus trine combine to fight off the negative influence of Saturn which is more powerful owing to its proximity.

The Influence Of Saturn

Saturn gives this New Moon a somber and serious tone. It calls for action and taking on responsibilities. Though there is a chance of fear and such negative emotions to be abound as well, they are more or less counter acted upon by Venus.

This time is ripe for bringing serious changes in your life which will have a positive influence for you from now on. Work on your efficiency and you will see increased productivity.

This is a good time to set the foundation for a better life with your hard work and determination.

The Influence Of Venus

The presence of Venus makes it a good time for love and being loved. But this love would not be flitting, and flirtatious. It would be of the serious kind all thanks to Saturn.

Your relationships will get a boost during this time and if you are single, it is a good time to find a partner. And you will not just pick anyone, your heart will know when you are genuinely attracted towards someone and they reciprocate.

There might be some hindrances like distance but if you can learn to overcome them, then there is a good chance that a relationship formed during this New Moon will stand the test of time.

Trine Uranus

Uranus is responsible for bringing in all the fun. You will enjoy trying new things and expanding your horizons. You will attract enigmatic people and there would be an overall spirit of abandon and adventure.

This thrill of seeking adventure would be present even in the bedroom. There is also a chance you might develop sudden interest in money matters. The time is good for you to take some calculated risk, but don’t overdo anything.

This New Moon is especially welcome because all the extreme influences of Saturn and Venus work together and cancel each other out enough for you to enjoy the more positive aspect of both.

Venus means that it is a good time for your love life to flourish and Saturn ensures that your hard work is rewarded. You will also be lucky in the matters of money. It is the perfect time to move forward in your life without completely cutting your ties with the past.

What more can you ask for?

Are You Ready For This Astrology Forecast? Mercury is Retrograde!

Mercury goes retrograde December 3rd and stays that way until the 22nd.  It is during this infamous time that we tend to see mechanical failures and all sorts of missed communications.

Coming at a season of the year when we are all running around trying to meet holiday deadlines, this happens at a most inopportune time.

With that in mind keep receipts and pay attention to travel schedules and be on the lookout for mix-ups. While such snafus are not guaranteed, they are highly likely, so simply be aware and double check your contacts.

As with any retrograde it is not a doom and gloom period, rather simply a time to reflect, review, and perhaps, reconsider and, in that context, the time may be regarded as purposeful.

Elsewhere we continue to feel the strong presence of Sagittarius this week as four influential planets gather there to push us towards adventure and expansion.

Of course with the holidays in our rearview mirror, we may all be a little more expansive than we were a few weeks ago, but the type of broadening will also feel is primarily born of intellectual activity.

Sagittarius is the great adventurer and we all have a section of our lives where this is comes into play. The house that is occupied by Sagittarius in your life is where you will witness the greatest influence.

This wonderful combination will find Venus and the Sun linking closely together as the month unfolds.

Soon, on December 20th, the Master enters Capricorn, where he will stay until 2020, taking us by the hand inside a path of growth and maturity.

Before starting this further phase of alignment with the Self, Saturn brings us within an extremely interesting inner movement, its transit inside the Galactic Center, located between the 25th and 27th of Sagittarius.

The Galactic Center is the focal point of a galaxy, from which the spiral is generated. It is the Source, the Human Ku, the black hole, the origin of the Primordial Sound, whose harmony holds together the whole Force that generates the balance between the solar systems and between the planets and their reference star.

The Galactic Center is identified as the 25th and 27th degree of Sagittarius. Wherever it falls, there is an important turning point for us.

Saturn has played a very important role in Cosmic History, as told to us by Valum Votan / José Arguelles. Together with Jupiter, he gave life to the Wars of Time, stealing the Thirteenth Moon, the Cult of the Goddess, to replace it with the Age of Artificial

Time linked to the control of the masses, to slavery towards money, to the idea of work as activities to survive and not as a mode of self-expression.

Going back to that point, connecting with the Source, in alignment with it, Saturn awakens the memory of the Travelers of Time who are finding the Way Home. What role did you come to play here, in the wholeness of it? The Master asks you, looking you in the eye.

Are you aligned with it, do you feel happy to be here, as in you would not see yourself anywhere else but here?

Are you taking responsibility for your task? Are you respecting the steps chosen by the Self? Are the ears of the personality feeling the signals of the Inner Voice and the deep eyes see the synchronicity?

Aligning with Hunab Ku, Saturn closes a cycle that opened in January 1988, whatever happened at that time. Even then, the

Master was about to transform our life into a teaching journey, during the years of his transit through Capricorn at that time, until February 1991. What war began then that now it is necessary to conclude?

Remember yourself! This is always the message.
In lakes! (I Am Another You)

Saturn moves into Capricorn on the 20th of December 2017 and will stay there until the 18th  of December 2020.

After wandering through the zodiac for 27 years, Saturn finally comes home. Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn, the sign he resonates with the most.

Indeed, Saturn and Capricorn have many things in common: both Capricorn and Saturn are structured, hardworking, diligent, persistent, resilient, and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve the next best version of themselves.

Because Saturn is at home in Capricorn, this is really good news for all of us. When a planet transits its home sign, it can express its best qualities.

What does it mean that Saturn feels at ease in Capricorn? Take a look at the mountain goat in the photo below.

Are you freaking out? Whenever Saturn passes through any other sign but Capricorn, he is freaking out, too. He does not understand the exuberance of Sagittarius. He feels awkward in the deep waters of Scorpio.

But he feels just fine in Capricorn. In fact, he feels extremely comfortable here. Capricorn is the place where he can best make use of his knowledge and skills: determination, persistence, resilience.

We desperately need Saturn out of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter which is pretty much the antithesis of Saturn. While Jupiter is all about exuberance, growth, and expansion, Saturn is all about rules, contraction, learning to take responsibilities and becoming an adult.

Do you see the conflict here? Saturn in Sagittarius is like asking the hippie guru to put on a suit and go to the office. Thankfully, on the 20th of December 2017, Saturn is finally out of Sagittarius and he can finally be himself.

But let’s not forget what Saturn stands for: rules, hard work, restriction, patience, structure. Saturn is also the great manifesto

,  the only planet able to turn ideas into concrete results.

Saturn will reward you – always – but only when you reach the summit. You need to make your way there by yourself. You need to work hard to receive Saturn’s blessings.

The good news is that once you have them, no one can take them away from you. You have earned them with your sweat and tears. You have become a better person.

By the end of the Saturn’s transit in 2020, a new, better you will emerge. But for this, you need to put in the work and be patient.

Saturn also represents boundaries. The ring of Saturn represents our ‘safety zone’, our personal space, what we can rely on, what we are responsible for. Within the safety zone, if you do your job, you are protected. There is no ‘fate’ or bad fortune to blame.

It is only outside the ring belt where life gets dangerous. But inside the safety zone, you know what you get. Saturn is maybe the only planet you can fully rely on. Saturn is mature, solid and predictable. Saturn has your back. You can count on him.

Saturn is the planet that marks the transition between our inner world, what is within our control (the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter)  to the outer world, what is outside our control, represented by outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto). Saturn is with one foot in this world, and one foot in the other.

Saturn is thus the gateway between our mortal existence and immortality. Saturn is the teacher who makes sure we are prepared to face our destiny, to fulfill our mission in this lifetime.

Saturn in Capricorn’s motivation is to find the highest peak, to reach the top of the mountain. Saturn in Capricorn never stops climbing. There is no mountain high enough for him. During Saturn’s transit in Capricorn, you into a mountain goat, too.

In the next 3 years there won’t buy a peak you cannot climb, there won’t be a goal you cannot reach. Whatever you put your mind to, you can do.

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve” – Napoleon Hill

What will happen during Saturn’s stay in Capricorn December 2017 – December 2020

Capricorn rules the governance structures of the society: politics, church, the monarchy, big corporations, the monetary system, macroeconomics.

 Saturn in Capricorn will bring an extra focus on these structures, by either challenging them or on the contrary, by consolidating and empowering them. Old systems and structures can collapse, and new systems or structures can come into power.

The key word for Saturn in Capricorn is structure. When the structure is fundamentally solid, Saturn will come to reinforce it.

But when the structure, when the foundation is weak, Saturn will come to destroy it in order to create a better, a more solid foundation, a foundation that can pass the test of time (or at least the test of the next 29 years, corresponding to a Saturn cycle).

In 1961 when Saturn was in Capricorn, the Berlin Wall, separating the East and West Germany was built. In In 1989, when Saturn was in Capricorn again, the wall came down. As we can see, Saturn can either build or destroy, depending on the historical context.

For the upcoming Saturn in Capricorn transit, the “destroy” alternative seems quite plausible, given that Saturn will conjunct Pluto, the great destroyer, in January 2020 (last time the two met was in 1982!).

Fortunately, apart from Pluto, Saturn is making mainly good aspects with all slow-moving planets (a trine by a sign to Uranus, a sextile to Neptune, a sextile to Jupiter in 2018 and a semisextile in 2019).

What is great about the Saturn Neptune sextile is that both planets are in their home signs (Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces) which means this time Saturn and Neptune will support each other and build on each other’s strengths. Compare the upcoming sextile to the 2016 Saturn in Sagittarius square Neptune in Pisces… we are definitely heading for better times!

Saturn will also be in a trine by a sign to Uranus, which is the best aspect you can get.

After we had some very challenging aspects between 2012-2016: the Uranus-Pluto square, the Saturn-Neptune square, the Jupiter Pluto square and the Jupiter Uranus opposition, the sky is finally giving us a break.

No major stressful aspect in 2018 and 2019! In 2020 we will have the Saturn Pluto conjunction, which is probably the most important aspect in 40 years – and by then we can definitely expect major events.

To sum up, during Saturn in Capricorn transit we can expect BIG changes, but the changes will be positive, and necessary. There is not much resistance to the Saturnian agenda in the coming years.

All the outer planets will support Saturn in his mission. This means that changes will come, but will be positive. We will be well equipped to overcome them.

What is also worth noting is that in the 2nd part of the Saturn transit in Capricorn we will have a record of 4 slow moving planets in Capricorn: Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and the South Node.

 The last time we had a Capricorn stellium of outer planets was in the late 1980’s – early 90’s, with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune – all in Capricorn.

Saturn officially leaves Capricorn December 17th of 2020, almost 3 years after the ingress (Saturn will move into Aquarius for few months, from March to July 2020).

So we’re in for 3 years of pure Saturnian energy. Do your job well, and Saturn will reward you big time!

How Saturn in Capricorn is going to affect you

To find out how Saturn in Capricorn is going to affect you personally, look in which house you have Capricorn. The house where you have Capricorn in your natal chart will point to the area of your life which will come into focus.

If you don’t know in which house you have Capricorn check out my article about how to read transits in the natal chart.

If you have Capricorn or Aquarius ascendant you will feel the shift stronger because Saturn is your chart ruler (or co-ruler, for Aquarius ascendants).

If you have a Capricorn ascendant, a completely new chapter of your life is about to start. If you have Cancer Ascendant, you will experience the shift in the area of relationships, if you have Aries Ascendant you will start a new career cycle and so on.

Pay attention to what you start now because you are going to stick with it for the next 29 years of your life – this is, you guessed it, the length of a Saturn cycle.

If your natal Saturn is in Capricorn, you will experience your Saturn Return, one of the most significant transits in one’s life.

If you are at your first Saturn return (if you are born between February 15th, 1988 until February 5th, 1991) – congratulations! Your first Saturn return means that you will officially become an adult.

Saturn return means that now is the time to grow up and do something with your life. Saturn returns usually bring major commitments in one’s life: marriage, children, buying a property, career advancements.

 If you have your 1st Saturn return, be aware that Saturn will also conjunct your natal Uranus and Neptune – so this transit is really BIG for you!

If you have your 2nd Saturn return, the same themes of building new foundations, setting the course for the new phase of your life will come into focus.

But you don’t need to have your Saturn return to be affected by this transit. No matter when you are born, Saturn will bring a particular area of your life into awareness.

Saturn will teach you how to become bulletproof in this area of your life, either by fortifying the existing foundations or by building new ones.

Either way, Saturn will help you clear out any old baggage that holds you back from moving forward in your life, so you can achieve your highest purpose.

Remember, anything is possible with Saturn in Capricorn. Aim high – because this time, you might just get to the top of the mountain.

Monthly Horoscope December 2017 For Each Zodiac Sign

The December 2017 monthly horoscope gives an insight into what you can expect during the month for all the zodiac signs starting from Aries to Pisces.

THIS IS WHAT THE MONTH OF December IS EXPECTED TO BRING FOR

EACH ZODIAC SIGN:

ARIES  December Horoscope – a new path –

The barriers and blocks have been removed and the communication is different, slower, simpler.

This is thanks to better listening qualities and greater tolerance towards those who do not think the same way as you.

This different attitude will also produce a different reaction from those facing you, resulting in a satisfactory relationship life.

You will finally feel accomplished and this will allow you to feel welcome and recognized for your values.

Important jobs in the professional field will take time and dedication, but it will not be hard for you, as it will be something that you’re too passionate about.

The same thing applies to relationships. Is there a girl or boy you have met some time ago and like so deeply, but didn’t seem to pay attention to you? Well, they will finally notice you!

Time for important relationships.

For those who are already in a couple, the relationship will be closely watched and if you find that it does not work anymore, and you find yourself annoyed by even the way your partner eats, I do not think there is a future! Farewell!

Saturn will finally come out of the opposition on 21st.

A radical change awaits you during this month. A true metamorphosis has been accomplished over these months.

Many of you have changed work, home, office, relationship somebody has become a parent, someone else may be a grandfather etc.

You will feel at peace with the world but what’s more important, you will feel at peace with yourself and you will perceive a great sense of inner unity that will allow you to accomplish anything.

Your new life is starting!

For you cancer, the creative aspect is particularly linked to the concept of procreation, especially if you are a woman.

You have matured enough and you feel ready to take on the role of a parent or in any case assume greater responsibilities.

For those who already have a family, this is the beginning of a very creative phase and you will dedicate yourself to everything that really inspires you.

You are entering a nice phase in which you will love yourself, for what you have become after a jubilee year of squatting.

For men, creating means to also be aware that they no longer depend on “mom” and start seeing a potential partner in their lover.

LEO  December Horoscope – evolve love! –

Love will take your heart and turn it into a wonderful tool. Love stories take strength and now you want something more than the normal relationship.

Even someone will decide to join their hearts under one roof.

Paternity and maternity will be an integral part of your life project.

For you who are no longer in the age of physical procreation, love and passion will manifest in what you will, dedicating yourself to the expression of your talents and vocation.

Someone might decide to leave the job, others to take longer time for themselves.

However, you will achieve the true freedom that is: to be!

Now you are ready to take care of others.

You have the right mental ability to serve your emotions, making you become such beautiful people both inside and out.

Not that you are not already, but being coherent will create a single more charm.

Moreover, you are the sign of beauty, cleanliness, and perfection.

However, the most important aspect I like to emphasize is that of learning to seek attention and help when needed; you are ready to live the love.

LIBRA December Horoscope – stability –

I repeat you are the sign of balance, but also of anxiety (am I anxious to repeat it?)

And after having spent these very important twelve months for the sign, you will eventually find inner peace, calm and serenity.

Jupiter was the wind that dropped dry leaves.

It will be difficult now to go back; you feel the masters of your life and you will taste freedom!

Everything that you have experienced now allows you to be more aware of what you want.

It is a good starting point for creating a new stability, not just inner one.

December is a great month, rich in novelty and unexpected gifts: like love that will enter your life with a force and impetus never known before.

You have so much confidence in yourself that you will get whatever you want or dream.

What more to say? Jupiter for a month in your sign is already beginning to ask for a major transformation, a metamorphosis.

Clearly, at the beginning, you can put some resistance and then be a bit nervous, but it’s all a greater good.

Sagittarius December Horoscope – trust –

You are and you will always be a sign that will continue your search for the meaning of life, the mission to be pursued.

You will never stop being a visionary.

You always want to answer your questions about why and how things happen, in good and evil.

This month, on the other hand, lets you finally rely on what you already know and begin to apply it concretely in your life.

You have found your personal trust and your stability; you will now make it available to others with passion and joy.

It is definitely a very important month for December the 21st, Saturn comes into your sign after 30 years.

It will thus begin a period of profound transformation and realization.

You will be asked to remove all the protections that keep you away from the emotions, from your feelings.

From now on you will be increasingly called to share, delegate to allow you to enjoy the more free time.

Start a phase in which you will build your new world. In December it will be your first stone.

It’s time to build a new life that takes into account what you really are and want.

The consistency you are requesting is aimed at making the best use of your vocation.

It is the beginning of a new phase marked by the assumption of responsibility towards your realization.

You are the only creators of your life and only you have the power to decide what to stay and to whom.

It is important for you to understand the value of managing your resources, both economical and time-consuming. Do not waste them.

 PISCES  December Horoscope – turning page –

you are finally changing your life, and definitively; there is a desire for newness, to do something different to awaken your passion, going beyond everyday life and the limits with which you have lived so far.

You are a “boundary” sign between the visible and the invisible.

Through you, it’s possible to go to a higher dimension and, again through you, to return to this one.

You are a living portal and now you know that if you really want to, you can change and replace what you don’t like what you want. Go get it!
