• Welcome to December 2023, dear Leo! The beginning of the month finds you expressing creatively, and enjoying romance and leisure time. You are busy with creative pursuits and pleasurable self-expression, you are feeling inspired creatively and romantically, and you are very self-expressive time with lots of creative energy. Watch out for a tendency to gamble, or other risk-taking!
   
  Overall, you already have a challenging time with your intimate world and resources. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your occupation and public image. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding your career, reputation, ambitions, and social standing. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.
   
  Also, Mr. TIOS mentions that these decan-wise horoscopes are general observations, and far from accurate. The dates and events may vary from individual to individual - as a glance at the observations for different decans would reveal. For more appropriate observations, he needs your date of birth.

  - Hide Interpretations
• 2nd December:
  Tactful Mercury, that is powerful and efficient in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your work, health, services, daily routines, and habits. It’s an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills. Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now. You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment–and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the “little things” that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
   This influence stays with you till 23rd December.
   
  Again - Clear thinking, good judgment, and organization skills - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. Catching up on paperwork, studying and research will also benefit from increased concentration and a good memory. Business dealings are favoured with this being the ideal day to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. Long-term investments and real estate are especially favoured. Making long-range plans is also a good idea now because of common sense and practicality.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 3rd December:
  A profound effect on love life - is in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Libra clashing with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your interactions and aptitude. Power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness. Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled. An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 5th December:
  Intense and sweet Venus in Scorpio clashes with your personal Sun. This is a time when you are less motivated or driven than usual. Lazy appreciation for the good life comes now. You are distracted when it comes to work, and you are more likely to overeat, overspend, and avoid anything that makes you feel unbalanced or uncomfortable. Irritations that seem to stem from others could be the reflection of your own inner uneasiness. Do your best to control yearnings for more than what you have and search for a creative solution for your inner dissatisfaction.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is intense and committed in Scorpio, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your domestic activities, home, family, and attachments. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
   This influence stays with you till 29th December.
   
  Furthermore - Commitments to relationships and long-term investments - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio harmonizing with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. All relationships can benefit from your sensible approach and steady affections. New love found now maybe with someone from a different age group and would likely be a long-lasting, soul mate union. Shopping for party need, fashion, cosmetics, jewelry, and art will benefit from your eye for a bargain.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 7th December.

• 7th December:
  Dreamy Neptune turns Direct (forward-moving) in water sign Pisces from its retrograde motion, reviving your intimate world and resources. It is time to re-align your dreams and fantasies with reality - especially those concerning your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. After a period of facing harsh realities, against those illusions that had shrouded your vision - you are back in business weaving renewed dreams and visions.
   Jupiter, Uranus - remain retrograde.
   
  Additionally - Optimism and good news, as also research, study, and socializing - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. This is one of the best days for making plans because of your good instincts, and future-oriented and positive thinking. This is also the ideal day to clean up and organize - anything from your office to your whole life. Planning or setting off on a journey is favoured, especially long-distance travels.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 10th December.

• 10th December:
  Fun-loving and friendly atmosphere - is in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with sweet Venus in Scorpio - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. This a great day or two to relax and unwind. Socializing should be more enjoyable now because of less stress and more harmony in your relationships. You will have a greater ability to express your love and affection - and your intimate relationships can benefit from closer bonding.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 13th December.
   
  Additionally - Love, party, and indulgements - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. So long as you can afford the time and money to do so, you will be feeling more affectionate and playful than usual, making this a good day for your love life, socializing, and for all kinds of pleasurable activity. There is a tendency here to be sloppy about details and lazy in general, and extra precautions are advised - overindulging and going to excess also needs to be watched with food, drink and drugs.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 11th December.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your travels and experiences! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy.
   Our spirit to grow, explore, and expand beyond the “regular” experiences in our lives are in focus in this phase. The New Moon here may bring some restlessness and dissatisfaction with regular routines. Make an effort to initiate new projects or activities that expand your mind, feed your spirit for adventure, and stretch your imagination. You may feel renewed by a new perspective on your life, something philosophical or spiritual that you read or learn, or an adventure that takes you away from the mundane routines in your life.

• 14th December:
  Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Capricorn, afflicting your routines and self-care. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your work, health, services, daily routines, and habits. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to work, health matters, and daily routines. Be as non-judgmental as you can with co-workers and/or employees. Re-thinking the suitability of your job is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Double- check your work before submitting it. It's a fine time for researching health and nutrition programs, as well as job skills and opportunities, but perhaps not the best time for beginning all-new programs. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers and health professionals; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 16th December:
  Dishonesty, deception, confusion and disappointment, as also demotivation or lack of enthusiasm or even susceptibility to psychological and health issues - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Do not get disheartened on this day, as it is normal under this influence to feel insecure, guilty and apologetic - and please do not make any firm decisions on this day!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 18th December.

• 20th December:
  Change in love life and drama in relationships - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension - an affair at this time would more likely lead to a rapid separation. If single, then there are many options. If dating then, a new romance now would certainly be exciting. Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible, but you should be extra careful with money.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

• 23rd December:
  Mighty Sun, that is ambitious and responsible in Capricorn, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your work, health, services, daily routines, and habits. The Sun illuminates this sector for the next month or so. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It is a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now. It’s time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn’t work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work.

Your mind will be on the ball which favours lots of interactions, clearing paperwork and bills, receiving and sending letters and emails, and short trips around town.

• 24th December:
  Retrograde Mercury in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. Fated events take you to the past - you can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past - either in person or in your mind. This period can brings communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, lost items, and sometimes even finding items lost previously - especially surrounding your creative world and romance. While this period might be good for flicking through old photo albums, it is generally considered more of a nuisance than a benefit. It can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked, and please double-check your emails and public or social networking posts. There is absolutely no reason to alter regular commute, tasks or communications - but this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport including a week before and after. Avoid signing contracts or other commitments during this period, unless they are absolutely necessary or urgent. Some important details may not yet be available, or others may be unreliable or dishonest. Also double-check with everything if you are planning a trip, vacation, or any other major transportation.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  On this same day - Patience, perseverance and a strong work ethic, as also sense of duty and serious attitude - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your routines and self-care.

• 25th December:
  Romance, relaxation, and daydreaming - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio harmonizing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. Besides fantasizing about your ideal lover, you can put your hand to any creative projects under this influence. This transit especially favors singing but anything creative can lead to something beautiful. Your sense of compassion and wish to be of service to others is heightened. This would be a good time to join a charity or some other organization to help less fortunate people or endangered animals.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your travels and experiences! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy.
   Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith-matter, and all of the attention you’ve been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you’re going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
   
  Additionally - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your routines and self-care. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Again - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 28th December.

• 28th December:
  Mental activity, and focused and acute thinking, as also arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius meeting aggressive Mars in Sagittarius - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Your piercing intellect can also be put to good use in arguing your case, and even defending others against harassment or provocation. Without using up this provocative energy in a good debate or solving puzzles or other mental challenges, you may encounter hostility in others.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   
  Additionally - Low energy, suspicion, deceit, lies, and scandal - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. It is normal to feel weak and discouraged under this confusing influence. Guilt is also possible and you may recall hurting someone in the past. It is important not to let such negative feelings lead to self-defeat or even self-harm. Other possible scenarios come through relationships with others. There is a tendency to be suspicious and paranoid, jealous or vindictive. You must avoid the temptation to act against others due to such confused motivations.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 29th December:
  Intense love, whirlwind romance, and secret affairs - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. Companionship becomes more important as you feel a longing to share love with someone special. If single you may become obsessed with someone and not be able to get them out of your mind. Any new romance now would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. An existing relationship can evolve to a more profound or spiritual level. With all relationships, whether love relationships or not, superficiality will not satisfy you.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 30th December.

• 30th December:
  Joyful and sweet Venus in Sagittarius harmonizes with your personal Sun. Love is in the air, and your relationships are harmonious and rewarding. Others find you attractive and enjoyable to be with. Social functions and artistic endeavors go well. You may be interested in purchasing objects of beauty or adornment. Efforts to improve your appearance run well. Gifts or increased income may be part of the picture. Your judgment is balanced now, and you are less likely to go to extremes. Use this inner balance to smooth over differences in your personal relationships, and to make sound judgments with your finances.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is joyful and adventurous in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It’s natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn’t be a problem–in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.

• Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - until 22nd December. During this influence, you focus on recreation, and seek to emphasize the playful, creative, romantic, and emotional side of your self-expression.

  After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks.

  This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are - when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life - not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time.

Efficiency should be your goal now.

Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy. Venus' transit graces the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your sensations and experiences along with it. It stays in each sign for less than a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 225 days.

  This is an expressive period for the goddess of love!
   
  It is natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued - as your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle.
   
  Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
   
  You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem - in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being.
   
  More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child - a stronger bond could be formed during this period.
   
  You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favoured at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one.

Mercury represents our day-to-day expression and communication. It is the basis of the way we think, the way we connect with others, and the way we communicate with others - decidedly unemotional and curious. Mercury's transit intellectualizes the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your thought-process along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a week (except when retrograde), as it covers the entire zodiac in 88 days.

Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humour (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
   
  Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types.
   
  Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual.
   
  You are more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now.

  2nd December to 23rd December, Mercury transits your House VI: Health, work, and routine tasks.
   
  It is an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence!
   
  You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
   
  This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes. You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong - there is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
   
  Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle. Negative expression of this position is worrying about work, health, pets, and so forth - rather than finding ways to improve these things.
   
  You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment - and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency.
• From 24th December onwards, Mercury enlightens the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - for the entire month. This influence makes you proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now.

• However, from 14th December to 31st December, when Mercury is retrograde (backward-moving), you may misadvanture or miscommunicate, and may be thinking backwards - especially in matters of health, work, and routine tasks.

Mars represents our energy, action, and sexual desire. It is the basis of our spontaneous reaction to act, and our survival instincts - the animal instincts for aggression, anger, and survival. Mars' transit asserts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your natural desire along with it. It stays in each sign for almost two months, as it covers the entire zodiac in 1,9 years.

• Mars, the planet of vitality, continues to energize the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - for the entire month. This influence enthuses you with self-expressive energy, making you playful, magnetic, and likeably competitive.

  For the entire period, Mars transits your House V: Romance, pleasure, and creativity.
   
  This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match!
   
  You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, child-rearing, romantic activities, hobbies, sports, or other creative and recreational endeavours.
   
  It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle.
   
  Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure!
   
  You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
   
  In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs. Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble.

• Welcome to December 2023, dear Leo! The beginning of the month finds you preoccupied with innermost feelings, family, home, property concerns, and heritage. You are busy with creative pursuits and pleasurable self-expression, you are feeling inspired creatively and romantically, and you are very self-expressive time with lots of creative energy. Watch out for a tendency to gamble, or other risk-taking!
   
  Overall, you already have a challenging time with your relationships and dealings. And, there is chaos of sorts (or some radical change) in your occupation and public image. However, you stand optimistic and content regarding your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. These are long-term trends that are expounded in Yearly Horoscopes.

• 2nd December:
  Clear thinking, good judgment, and organization skills - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Catching up on paperwork, studying and research will also benefit from increased concentration and a good memory. Business dealings are favoured with this being the ideal day to sign contracts or enter into negotiations. Long-term investments and real estate are especially favoured. Making long-range plans is also a good idea now because of common sense and practicality.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 3rd December:
  Adventurous and mighty Sun in Sagittarius harmonizes with your personal Sun. This is a time when ego-gratifying circumstances are highlighted. You receive some sort of boost to your ego and confidence, perhaps through some form of recognition, however big or small. You are likely to feel energetically supported by others and by life's circumstances. Battles of will could occur now. Do not stress or strain – pushing your agenda on others is unlikely to do anything except cause friction.
   
  And then - Mighty Sun, that is adventurous and open-minded in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. The Sun illuminates this sector for the next month or so. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  Furthermore - A profound effect on love life - is in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Libra clashing with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your interactions and aptitude. Power and control issues may arise in existing relationships. Simmering tension may come to the surface as some manipulative behavior like jealousy or possessiveness. Threats and ultimatums are possible if either partner feels smothered or controlled. An unhealthy relationship may breakdown which would be very painful or dramatic.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 4th December.

• 5th December:
  Commitments to relationships and long-term investments - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio harmonizing with strict Saturn in Pisces - primarily influencing your interactions and aptitude. All relationships can benefit from your sensible approach and steady affections. New love found now maybe with someone from a different age group and would likely be a long-lasting, soul mate union. Shopping for party need, fashion, cosmetics, jewelry, and art will benefit from your eye for a bargain.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 7th December.

• 7th December:
  Dreamy Neptune turns Direct (forward-moving) in water sign Pisces from its retrograde motion, reviving your intimate world and resources. It is time to re-align your dreams and fantasies with reality - especially those concerning your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources. After a period of facing harsh realities, against those illusions that had shrouded your vision - you are back in business weaving renewed dreams and visions.
   Jupiter, Uranus - remain retrograde.
   
  Moreover - Optimism and good news, as also research, study, and socializing - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. This is one of the best days for making plans because of your good instincts, and future-oriented and positive thinking. This is also the ideal day to clean up and organize - anything from your office to your whole life. Planning or setting off on a journey is favoured, especially long-distance travels.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 10th December.

• 9th December:
  Eager and aggressive Mars in Sagittarius harmonizes with your personal Sun. Taking action on an instinctive level is the theme now. This is a good time to do something that requires additional bravery or courage, as this influence tends to release some of your inhibitions. You are living spiritedly now. It is an excellent influence for competitive activities, such as sports, debate, or business.
   
  And then - Aggressive Mars, that is eager and limitless in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 10th December:
  Fun-loving and friendly atmosphere - is in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Capricorn connecting with sweet Venus in Scorpio - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. This a great day or two to relax and unwind. Socializing should be more enjoyable now because of less stress and more harmony in your relationships. You will have a greater ability to express your love and affection - and your intimate relationships can benefit from closer bonding.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 13th December.
   
  Again - Love, party, and indulgements - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your interactions and aptitude. So long as you can afford the time and money to do so, you will be feeling more affectionate and playful than usual, making this a good day for your love life, socializing, and for all kinds of pleasurable activity. There is a tendency here to be sloppy about details and lazy in general, and extra precautions are advised - overindulging and going to excess also needs to be watched with food, drink and drugs.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 11th December.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your intimate world and resources! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources.
   This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others what makes them tick, as well as, your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favourable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

• 14th December:
  Intense and sweet Venus in Scorpio clashes with your personal Sun. This is a time when you are less motivated or driven than usual. Lazy appreciation for the good life comes now. You are distracted when it comes to work, and you are more likely to overeat, overspend, and avoid anything that makes you feel unbalanced or uncomfortable. Irritations that seem to stem from others could be the reflection of your own inner uneasiness. Do your best to control yearnings for more than what you have and search for a creative solution for your inner dissatisfaction.
   
  And then - Sweet Venus, that is intense and committed in Scorpio, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your domestic activities, home, family, and attachments. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere. Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence–a time when simple pleasures most appeal.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.
   
  On this same day - Tactful Mercury turns Retrograde (backward-moving) in earth sign Capricorn, afflicting your creative world and romance. You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 16th December:
  Dishonesty, deception, confusion and disappointment, as also demotivation or lack of enthusiasm or even susceptibility to psychological and health issues - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Do not get disheartened on this day, as it is normal under this influence to feel insecure, guilty and apologetic - and please do not make any firm decisions on this day!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 18th December.

• 20th December:
  Change in love life and drama in relationships - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio opposing chaotic Uranus in Taurus - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. If you already have a partner, then an unexpected event may cause a lot of upset tension - an affair at this time would more likely lead to a rapid separation. If single, then there are many options. If dating then, a new romance now would certainly be exciting. Whatever your situation, if love is not an option then change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible, but you should be extra careful with money.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

You want to chat and start conversations on topics that interest you - with rationality and reasoning.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your intimate world and resources! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources.
   This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
   
  Moreover - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Furthermore - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 28th December.

• 28th December:
  Mental activity, and focused and acute thinking, as also arguments, losing your temper, and being unnecessarily rude or abusive - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius meeting aggressive Mars in Sagittarius - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Your piercing intellect can also be put to good use in arguing your case, and even defending others against harassment or provocation. Without using up this provocative energy in a good debate or solving puzzles or other mental challenges, you may encounter hostility in others.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   
  Furthermore - Low energy, suspicion, deceit, lies, and scandal - are in the air, when the sky observes aggressive Mars in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. It is normal to feel weak and discouraged under this confusing influence. Guilt is also possible and you may recall hurting someone in the past. It is important not to let such negative feelings lead to self-defeat or even self-harm. Other possible scenarios come through relationships with others. There is a tendency to be suspicious and paranoid, jealous or vindictive. You must avoid the temptation to act against others due to such confused motivations.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 29th December:
  Intense love, whirlwind romance, and secret affairs - are in the air, when the sky observes sweet Venus in Scorpio connecting with transformational Pluto in Capricorn - primarily influencing your home and domestic life. Companionship becomes more important as you feel a longing to share love with someone special. If single you may become obsessed with someone and not be able to get them out of your mind. Any new romance now would be a whirlwind experience and greatly change your life. An existing relationship can evolve to a more profound or spiritual level. With all relationships, whether love relationships or not, superficiality will not satisfy you.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 30th December.

• Best wishes for December 2023, as always! The overall monthly trends, along with relevant minor transits and their influences are detailed below for further reference.

Sun represents our concious mind - our will to live and our creative life force. It is the basis of our core personality, our style, our ego, our life purpose, and some might say, even our destiny. Sun's transit illuminates the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your focus along with it. It stays in each sign for barely a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 365.25 days.

• Sun, the luminary of self, continues to illuminate the sector of your solar chart that rules home and family, roots and origins - until 2nd December. During this influence, you focus on domestic life, and seek to emphasize your feeling of belonging, family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage.
  + Show Details
  Till 2nd December, Sun transits your House IV: Domestic life, home, and family.
   
  During this cycle, you get in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride.
   
  You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base.
   
  This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to.
   
  Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
• From 3rd December onwards, Sun spotlights the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - for the rest of the month. During this influence, you focus on recreation, and seek to emphasize the playful, creative, romantic, and emotional side of your self-expression.

  After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
   
  You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
   
  This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are - when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life - not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time.
   
  You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

Venus represents two main areas of our life - love and money. It is the basis of our sentiments, what we value, and the pleasure we take in life, our tastes, our pleasures, our artistic inclinations, and what makes us happy. Venus' transit graces the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your sensations and experiences along with it. It stays in each sign for less than a month, as it covers the entire zodiac in 225 days.

You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now.
   
  You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.
   
  Loyalty and sensitivity in your relationships are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home.
   
  This is a calming influence - a time when simple pleasures appeal the most.

Mercury represents our day-to-day expression and communication. It is the basis of the way we think, the way we connect with others, and the way we communicate with others - decidedly unemotional and curious. Mercury's transit intellectualizes the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your thought-process along with it. It stays in each sign for almost a week (except when retrograde), as it covers the entire zodiac in 88 days.

• Mercury, the planet of interactions, continues to focus on the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - for the entire month. This influence makes you proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now.
  + Show Details
  For the entire period, Mercury transits your House V: Romance, pleasure, and creativity.
   
  Increased communication with children, romantic partners, and people who share the same hobbies as you can occur now!
   
  During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now.

  Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types.
   
  Certainly, you are thinking about these people and about love and romance, child rearing, and/or creative pursuits more than usual.
   
  You are more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position. Mental exercises and competitions can be particularly enjoyable now.
   
  You express yourself with warmth and creativity, and you have an appreciative "audience" for your ideas now.
• However, from 14th December to 31st December, when Mercury is retrograde (backward-moving), you may misadvanture or miscommunicate, and may be thinking backwards - especially in matters of romance, pleasure, and creativity.

Mars represents our energy, action, and sexual desire. It is the basis of our spontaneous reaction to act, and our survival instincts - the animal instincts for aggression, anger, and survival. Mars' transit asserts the area of your life that it touches (influences), drawing your natural desire along with it. It stays in each sign for almost two months, as it covers the entire zodiac in 1,9 years.

• Mars, the planet of vitality, continues to energize the sector of your solar chart that rules home and family, roots and origins - until 8th December. This influence animates you with more instinctive energy for domestic activities, making you defensive and protective.
  + Show Details
  Till 8th December, Mars transits your House IV: Domestic life, home, and family.
   
  You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities!
   
  You may work hard at making yourself feel more secure, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things!
   
  Because your actions are governed by your instincts during this period, you may be especially defensive and protective. You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related - you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf.
   
  More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
   
  You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
• From 9th December onwards, Mars empowers the sector of your solar chart that rules pleasure and creativity - for the rest of the month. This influence enthuses you with self-expressive energy, making you playful, magnetic, and likeably competitive.
  + Show Details
  9th December onwards, Mars transits your House V: Romance, pleasure, and creativity.
   
  This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match!
   
  You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, child-rearing, romantic activities, hobbies, sports, or other creative and recreational endeavours.
   
  It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle.
   
  Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure!
   
  You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
   
  In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs. Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble.

• 11th December:
  Retrograde Uranus in Taurus clashes with your personal Sun. You may have to control an urge to rebel and be different that could set your ambitions and goals back a step. An inner struggle between your sense of purpose or direction and a need for independence and freedom makes this a possibly tense time. Unexpected changes, upheavals, surprises, reversals, discontentment, and a break from the safe and predictable characterize this time period. You may make a long-overdue move away from outgrown and/or oppressive conditions, acting on a need for new life and new aliveness with very little in the way of guarantees or security. Or you may feel your life is fine and circumstances in the world around you becomes unstable, insecure, unpredictable, or topsy-turvy. The pace of your life is accelerating, and some changes may be forced upon you.
   
  And then - Retrograde Uranus in Taurus, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your education, knowledge, travel, perspective on life, and philosophy. Uranus re-visits this sector of your life. Although there is drastic change, there is less chaos - probably because the change is internal, in your mindset related to your travels and experiences. Previously, you might have sought greater personal freedom, or anticipated a major change in your life, or tried to initiate change - but nothing has happened. Now, is the time to process things internally before you manifest the external change once this period is over. This period will induce the internal changes in attitude or behaviours, which are necessary to make the desired change possible. It is also possible that you might have been disruptive and rebellious, trying to force radical change. Whether your revolution was based on ignorance or the innocence of youth, this period will bring higher self-awareness and insights about the error of your ways.
   As with all outer planets, this period causes relatively less concern than the rarer inner planet retrogrades like Mercury, Venus, and Mars retrograde cycles.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 12th December:
  New Moon in - arrives today at 11:32 PM, and lands on your intimate world and resources! New Moons are introspective (unlike Full Moons which are public). It is an emotional time to get in touch with your senses. A potential for renewal, or renewed emphasis, presents itself - with heightened sensitivity in your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources.
   This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others what makes them tick, as well as, your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favourable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

• 13th December:
  Adventurous and mighty Sun in Sagittarius harmonizes with your personal Sun. This is a time when ego-gratifying circumstances are highlighted. You receive some sort of boost to your ego and confidence, perhaps through some form of recognition, however big or small. You are likely to feel energetically supported by others and by life's circumstances. Battles of will could occur now. Do not stress or strain – pushing your agenda on others is unlikely to do anything except cause friction.
   
  And then - Mighty Sun, that is adventurous and open-minded in Sagittarius, enters the sector of your personal chart that rules your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. The Sun illuminates this sector for the next month or so. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

You face communication and technology breakdowns, nervous anxiety, travel delays, and lost items - both lose or sometimes find - especially surrounding your romance, children, creativity, recreation, and hobbies. You can also expect to dwell on things, reminisce about the past, or unexpectedly meet up with people from your past. This period can play havoc with your thoughts, communications, travels, and electronics. Take extra care with your words and try not to react too quickly in any arguments or if provoked. Avoid signing contracts or comitting something, because this is the riskiest times for decision-making, negotiations, communication, and transport - including a week before and after.
   This Mercury Retrograde cycle, indicates that extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
   Backward-moving Mercury joins along with Jupiter, Uranus - already retrograde, and further slows down your life.
   This influence stays with you till rest of the month, and beyond.

• 27th December:
  Full Moon in - arrives today at 12:33 AM, and lands on your intimate world and resources! Full Moons are public (unlike New Moons which are introspective). It fairly bursts forth with energy. The emotional proclamations made now appear new and unrefined, simply because they are expressed as a burst of energy that has not yet been rationalized. Yes, they can be "loony" and sometimes "infantile", but the surge of emotional energy can spur us into healthy action nevertheless. Even though the emotional energy associated with the Full Moon seems new because it is so raw, it’s only the expression of it that is new. The truth is, the desire for change has been sitting with us for a while now, but we haven’t yet had the energy or impetus to do anything about it. That is the beauty of the Full Moon! Still, we need to be aware that there is a tendency to project our own state of restlessness or frustrations onto others. We are especially emotional now, and need to avoid blaming outside circumstances or other people for our own frustrations. An abrupt illumination will present itself - with a need for validation in your self-knowledge, intimacy, finances, and shared resources.
   This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people’s needs and comfort levels. It’s a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
   
  Moreover - High spirits, enthusiasm, and self-confidence - are in the air, when the sky observes mighty Sun in Capricorn harmonizing with optimistic Jupiter in Taurus - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. You should be feeling on top of the world and enjoy warm and friendly relationships with everyone. There may be a tendency to sit back and enjoy the happy vibe, but in doing so, you could miss cashing in on any big opportunities for growth. But who cares? Not you, not today!
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.
   This influence stays around you till 29th December.
   
  Furthermore - Confusion, and complications in discussions and business dealings - are in the air, when the sky observes tactful Mercury in Sagittarius clashing with dreamy Neptune in Pisces - primarily influencing your creative world and romance. Even giving or receiving instructions can suffer from lack of clarity and misinterpretation. You really must avoid treachery and scandal - because even little white lies could lead to major embarrassment or the need for more convoluted cover-ups.
   You might not be directly involved in the above possibilities, and be at the receiving end of such things - or imagine, or come to know, or otherwise become aware of such things.

  You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging.

  This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to.

You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
   
  In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs. Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble.
