Ho Ho Ho Horoscopes: Christmas Weekend
After a wild lunar eclipse on the 21st, the Sun has settled into traditional, family-oriented Capricorn. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas indeed. The Moon will be in playful, affectionate Leo on Christmas Eve, so let everyone open one present that night ... just to contain the excitement! Showy Leo brings out our theatrical sides, so gather the gang for caroling and other hokey-yet-hilarious fun.
Ring in the New Year With a Sagittarius Moon
You know how some New Year’s Eves are of the low-key variety, best spent fireside with a cheese log and a Trivial Pursuit board? Not this year ... unless there’s a rowdy twist to the game and you invite 100 of your closest friends to play. Although a moody, private Scorpio Moon colors the daytime on December 31, by early evening the Moon moves into jovial, outgoing Sagittarius. After an intense December (Mercury retrograde! Lunar eclipse!) — and, let’s face it, an intense 2010 — we’re all ready to blow off some steam and congratulate ourselves for surviving.Are You on Your Right Path? Insight From a Career Intuitive

Sagittarius New Moon, Uranus Direct in Pisces
Get ready for action! This weekend, the new moon in expansive, visionary Sagittarius inspires us all to go after our biggest dreams and goals. Thinking of traveling, starting a business, or going back to school? In some way, the optimistic and can-do energy of Sag will inspire you to reconnect to your passion.Skip the dry 2011 resolutions, and think about what would really light you up. Think big! Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance (kind of the solar system’s Santa Claus), so don’t limit your wishes and desires.
Mars in Capricorn: Start Your Resolutions!
Just in time for us to craft some lofty 2011 goals, motivator Mars moves into Capricorn, the sign of long-term planning. Mars will be here until mid-January, pushing us to achieve. What big accomplishments would you like to nail down next year? Mars in Capricorn helps you clarify that list. Impatient Mars accelerates the action, and it can bring equal parts stress and excitement. Remember: Easy does it. Don't overload yourself with work during this cycle.
Be Alert! Mercury's Retrograde December 10-29
Fasten your seat belts — it’s gonna be a bumpy sleigh ride. Mercury takes a retrograde (backward) turn from Friday until the end of the year. Mercury rules communication, travel and technology. Typically, all of these things go a little wonky during Mercury retrograde cycles, which occur three or four times a year.
Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn: Make Your List and Check It Twice!
You’re all fired up to finish your holiday shopping, clean the house, bake snowflake-shaped cookies for the whole neighborhood, and basically make Santa’s workshop look like it’s filled with slackers. Not so fast, little elf. Yes, energizer Mars is in achievement-oriented Capricorn, turning you into Superwoman. However, master planner Mercury is retrograde (moving backward) in Capricorn, which means if you’re making a list, prepare to check it twice ... or more!
Prepping for the Holidays, by the Stars
Christmas and New Year's Eve are fast approaching, and the planets are more active than a team of reindeer this holiday season. So we're here to help you have that gingerbread-trimmed celebration of your dreams ... even if it takes some extra planning. On the "eves" this year, the Moon will be in Fire signs, making people restless and excitable. Too much sitting around could stir tension, as boredom leads to bickering. One prevention? Get moving! Physical activity will release the pent-up energy (and burn off the heavy meals). Bowed heads and somber reflections? Forget it.
