December 2010
Virgo Horoscope

Making your list, checking it twice

by Jeff Jawer and Rick Levine

The real gifts of the holidays, Virgo, may not arrive for you until the very end of the year, because your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograde December 10 - 30. Life still advances during this planet's backward cycle, yet you may be more involved with finishing off the old than stepping into the new. Tying up loose ends -- especially related to home, family, and creative projects -- can keep you from looking ahead until the New Year's ball is about
to drop.

Seeds for new adventures are planted with the Sagittarius New Moon in your 4th House of Roots on December 5. Clear your garden to give them room to germinate and grow. With active Mars entering disciplined Capricorn in your 5th House of Fun and Games on December 7, this joyous season is a mix of work and play. Don't be surprised if you're asked to organize holiday parties.

Virgo Dates with Destiny

December 19 - 21: Into the Future

Your eyes narrow with concentration as mental Mercury joins the Sun on December 19. It can seem like you are peering into the depths of your soul where truths about your identity are lurking. Flashes of an alternative reality are sparked by a Mercury-Uranus square on December 20, blowing off old ideas to prepare for the blastoff of the Lunar Eclipse and Winter Solstice on December 21. You could be flooded by information you can't assimilate. Don't try to make sense of all of it now. You're crossing a threshold that can alter your future. Allow time to see where it's taking you.
