Your ruling planet Mercury holds the key to understanding the month ahead. The heavenly messenger turns retrograde on December 10 and remains in trickster mode until December 30, putting a challenging spin on your holiday plans. Saying exactly what you mean can minimize most misunderstandings, as Mercury in earthy Capricorn through December 18 adds sincerity to your words.
Then the messenger backs into easygoing Sagittarius, enabling you to enjoy the festivities of the season. Fortunately you don't need to wait long to have a good time: The uplifting Sagittarius New Moon on December 5 plants a seed of intention in your 7th House of Companions, lighting up your month with fun and frivolity. Although industrious Mars reminds you of the hard work ahead as he enters ambitious Capricorn on December 7, he also blesses you with the strength and willpower to sustain your high energy during the weeks ahead.
These days will test your ability to stay focused on what matters most, since you could be distracted by an unrealistic idea. The Sun's powerful square with visionary Jupiter on December 16 and independent Uranus on December 18 could send tremors through your life as relationship issues clash with your career goals. Communication is crucial, for interactive Mercury squares Uranus and Jupiter on December 20 - 21, turning a little disagreement into a major battle -- and you may not know when to call it quits. Don't try to involve others in a choice you must make for yourself. On December 21, the Full Moon Eclipse in versatile Gemini falls into your 1st House of Self. Times are changing, and it's now up to you to adapt.
