Scorpio. How much good can you stand? Venus in your sign is enhancing all human relations at the risk of seeming like a bit of a softy. Not the worst thing and I know plenty of chiton-hardened Scorps who have a goofy sentimental side. You get to indulge some of that, especially in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Those born on or around November 7-10 have an amazing transit with Venus and Uranus so your taste for electric, eccentric, excessive personalities is cranked up BIG time, particularly mid-month. You could be feeling this a week before or after however. And those born on or around November 12-14 are feeling, “screw it – the dollar's worth a lot more in Bosnia, maybe I should live there.”

The big picture in a nutshell . . .Happy birthday to Sagittarius who are concluding a year-long transit of Jupiter in their sun sign. As you reflect on the past year you may think: Hmmm, that opportunity didn't go anywhere, or Hmmm, maybe I don't WANT a full time job or Hmmmm, I really don't have the time for all this TRIVIA! Happily, your better impulse could prevail and if you're getting over a few bumps, bruises, sprains and stains, figure you're lucky. Mercury in your sun sign is helping you to be a little more clear about what you want (not that that's ever an issue except in your own mind) and  that will be extremely useful for those of you in therapy (finally! Getting your money's worth!).  Squicky days include December 10-12 when you could get angry at the wrong person and then have to do mop-up duty.

CAPRICORN (December 22 or 23 to January 20 or 21).

The big picture in a nutshell . . .You guys are the best, seriously. A sign which has been ruled by the THE planet considered most malefic is about to have a ton of good stuff erupt. Starting around the solstice, those of you born this month should make the most of even stray or random opportunities. (This is doubly true for those born 1949, 1961, 1973, and 1984 – you guys are the most generous Caps going actually.) Jupiter in your sun sign is an incredibly useful event, and the last time this happened was way back in 1996-1998. Think back on the advantages, honors, and opportunities that came your way and figure this is chapter two for those themes. Even with Mars in Cancer, making you feel like the wallpaper flower in the room full of furniture (well, that's a weird mixed metaphor, but you know what I mean), your time is coming. Yes!

The big picture in a nutshell . . .Aquarius is (typically?) detached right now and with Venus giving your sun the cold shoulder you may be happiest on your own, doing your thing, just a few steps ahead of the rest of us poor schlubs. This month, you may find your earth and water sign friends are way too rigid for your taste, so a little by-your-leave could be the best thing. Tricky dates include December 21-24. your urge to escape (using tools or substances?) is huge. Great days to hunker down and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. And then book a trip to New Zealand.

PISCES (February 19 or 20 to March 20 or 21).
Difficult days come on December 2, 3, 8, 9 , 15, 16, 21, 22, 28, 29

The big picture in a nutshell . . .Pisces is in the middle of a great big love-squeeze from Venus and Mars and if you can't keep up with all the folks giving you come-hither signals, well, just plunge into your Eeyore side and chill out. After the Solstice, when Jupiter moves into Capricorn and stops putting pressure on your sun you may find it easier to deal with whatever troubles/responsibilities/obligations you got into this fall and winter. I can think of one friend who took on a HUGE new responsibility whose birthday comes late in the sign. Those born after March 12 probably had big changes in their job or professional identity this fall. This is all fine, it's called “growing pains,” or “groaning pangs,” and Pisces gets to figure out how to keep their sense of humor without crashing the car.
