While the year winds down, you’re actually getting ready to turn it up. An influx of fire is boosting your energy all around. The most radical energy is coming from Jupiter in Leo moving through your 5th house of passion, romance, and creativity, which boosts your mood like a blast of B-12. Move forward with creative projects while this planetary push gives you the energy to follow through. You are able to pick up on the message Uranus, planet of inspiration, has for you around December 15. You could get a wake-up call that something major in your life needs to be shifted, but you will definitely have the willpower to make this happen.

Have you been having trouble with bae for what feels like eternity? You’re both ready to settle your differences and deal with the drama in December, and you’ll be so happy to see the situation chill out. If you're not currently involved, your romantic status probably falls into one of two categories: You've either recently come out of a tumultuous relationship or you've been enjoying your singledom, spending introspective time thinking about what you need in a soul mate. No matter what, your relationship prospects are looking up in December, and you're ready to find something that will make you seriously happy. Trust—it's on the way.

When Saturn enters Sagittarius on December 24, it’s time to forget about the bad boys or girls and settle down in a more stable dating routine. If you are in a relationship, this will be a time to build long-term trust and stability, a "no-flex zone" if you will. Saturn will help you get to the next level if you were stuck on a dating plateau. For those who are not currently involved, the planets will help you make the perfect match in the months to come. Your ruling planet Mercury will be in your 7th house of partnerships for the first half of December, which will help you identify what it is you really need in a relationship. Far too often your rationalizations cause you to sublimate your true feelings. Use your exceptional communication skills to be straightforward with yourself and others this month and you will get more out of your relationships. On December 6 there is a full moon in Gemini that brings events from the past few months into sharper focus. Celebrate the achievements and connections you’ve made this year on this lunation.

If you begin December feeling like you were born to die, console yourself with the knowledge that an astral rift is opening at the end of the month that will allow you to emerge like a butterfly from a chrysalis in to a totally new identity. It will be like a move to a whole new borough of reality. The new moon in Capricorn on December 21 brings together an extremely refreshing combination of cosmic influences in your 7th house of partnerships, and it’s very possible you will meet the partner you’ve been dreaming of within a few days of this lunar progression. Venus, planet of love, will be in your 7th house from December 10, inviting more loving relationships into your life. This will be a welcome change of pace, since Mars, planet of aggression and heat spent more than a month in this placement, adding turmoil to your daily relations. You may still feel like you’re living in a Land of Gods and Monsters around December 15 when one last square between Uranus and Pluto create a sense of tension. Try to chill out and give yourself extra time to relax this week. Focus energy on your new moon manifestations.

Slow down in December for a strategic pause. You're halfway through the year-long transit of Jupiter through Leo, which provides you a level of good luck and positive vibes that won't be experienced again for 12 years, but you shouldn’t get swept away in the enthusiasm and lose sight of your larger goals. Jupiter goes retrograde on December 8 until April 8. Unlike Mercury, the retrograde of Jupiter will not be a nuisance; instead, it will allow you time to think about how you can better use the resources, which are bountiful, at your disposal. When success comes too easily, it's difficult to appreciate the positives. It's time to organize and repurpose certain aspects of your life so that you can fully actualize the good luck of Jupiter in Leo. When Saturn enters Sagittarius on December 24, it will begin a three-year-long focus on your creative pursuits. Put all of your energy toward your personal passions, and the rest of the universe will come to share your excitement.

You have been working hard, but I know you can go a little longer. Let the full moon in Gemini on December 6 be your motivation—it falls high on your chart in your 10th house of success and publicity. This lunar event will “make it rain” metaphysically speaking, giving you recognition for the hard work you’ve put in. You’ll be in the spotlight this week, so use this time to publicize projects you are working on, or approach a VIP in your life with a business proposal. You can be confident that your creative energy will continue later in the month. Switch gears after the full moon and focus on family because you do have some powerful things going on at home. Check in with the people closest to you and see what’s up. There might be familial tension to diffuse around the holidays because the final square between Uranus and Pluto, a planetary stress factor that we’ve all felt for two years, happens to fall in your house of family matters. Whatever the matter is, you will be well suited to play the mediator because your ruling planet Mercury will be supportive of your analytical instincts.

Your natural charm and social grace makes you impossibly likeable, but this month you won't care about likes while your ruling planet Venus is in the sassy and straight-forward sign of Sagittarius. It's time to get real, because being perfect is exhausting. Accept your selfie exactly the way it is. You'll never miss the followers you lose. Too often a Libra sublimates their own desire to please other people, so this month challenge yourself to follow your own voice without considering what others will think. If you normally stay in the city for the holidays, consider spending time with blood relations this year because a powerful new moon on December 21 in your 4th house of family ties would make the experience especially meaningful. This would be a great time to get back with anyone from your past who has fallen out of touch. You'd have a much better chance of keeping them closer using this lunar energy.

For months you have felt a shift coming. Interstellar stress has pushed you forward toward your goals over the past three years, and now the universe is ready to give you a cosmic massage and eliminate all the tension from the era of Saturn in Scorpio. On December 21, Saturn officially enters Sagittarius, and although it will come back for a brief stay in Scorpio from June to September 2015, you won't really have to deal with the pressure for another 29 years. Your Saturn struggle has made you stronger, and you should come out of this phase feeling proud of all accomplishments you have actualized, whether it's an internal transformation or a material achievement.

Like fellow Sagittarian Iggy Azalea, you have been sweeping through the season with a string of successes. The cosmos will continue to award you with positive vibes for most of December, as a trio of planets in the fire signs including Venus, the planet of love in Sagittarius, will energize and excite you. Your vibrant energy will make you the social star of all the holiday parties you attend this year. The full moon in Gemini on December 6 is well placed in your 7th house of partnerships, so take seriously any business opportunities or offers you get around this date. Even if they seem outlandish, they could be highly profitable. Enjoy the festive vibes in the first half of the month because much like Iggy, you are about to learn the true meaning of work. Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, enters Sagittarius on December 24 for three years, an influence that will give you the discipline needed to re-organize your life. Be prepared for major changes and re-structuring during this period of time. You might be in a funk for a moment, but you’ll be feeling fancy again sooner than you think. Neptune, the planet of subconscious visions makes an aspect to Saturn in the last days of December that could help you envision your future, so be in tune with your intuitive energies.

Last month held many dramatic moments, but this turbulent energy is finally moving out of your life. On December 15, one last aspect between Uranus, signifying everything new, and Pluto, power and transformation, could signal a major ending (or maybe a beginning) that you’ve been expecting. Clear out of any stale habits, relationships, jobs, or connections that are tying you down. Once you get this obstacle out of your way, the path is clear for you to move on and thrive. Capricorns tend to get stuck in a stable situation, but sometimes it’s necessary to make a move that could seem capricious or risky out of the blue in order to make it to the next level. The planet Venus will be your cosmic cheerleader from December 10 onward, giving your spirits an extra boost to help you through this time of transition. Mercury joins Venus in Capricorn on December 16, giving you a clear mind to make the executive decisions you are being asked to make. On December 21, a new moon in Capricorn will be a totally refreshing portal toward the next phase of your life.

Social situations will be bountiful in December (duh!) and you should attend whenever possible. You’re bound to have fun, and you’re likely to be presented with exciting work opportunities through your social connections. You’re allowed to stay home if you’re feeling shy (doubtful), but you absolutely have to get out there on the full moon when the stars are aligned perfectly for romance. If you’re not booed up, it is possible that you will discover new dimensions with an old acquaintance. If you’re currently entangled, the full moon will renew your romance, so plan a cute date that night! Over the past few months you may have jumped into some kind of partnership with a close companion. Be cautious about moving too fast this month. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, will be in retrograde after December 8 in your 7th house of partnerships, which means you may need to fill in some of the details that were left out in the beginning.

Ready or not, the cosmos have decided that it’s time for you to pursue your professional ambitions with more seriousness. The heat won’t be on until Saturn enters Sagittarius on December 24, so you do have some time to prepare. Saturn will spend about three years in your 10th house of success and publicity, helping you build, or transform, your professional reputation. This will not automatically be a planetary panacea to all of your professional problems, but if you work hard toward specific goals you will definitely see the rewards manifest. You may have doubts about whether you are on the right path for the first two months of this new planetary situation while your ruling planet Neptune makes a confusing aspect with Saturn, but work through the fog and have faith that you are going in the right direction. Introspection and meditation will help clarify your path. For all the money queens with eyes on the coin, rest assured that your finances will be supported by a buoyant fire trine during this professional transition. Your source of income may change, but you can count on a steady cash flow.
