Aries (March 21st - April 20th)


It may be that you need a break from stressful routines, as well as a change of scenery. You may find that things, people, and life in general seem to be helping you along by snatch- ing distracting or distressing things right out of your hands. At first this may come as a shock, but then you will see how recent losses are actually going in your favor. They are making way for waaay better things, situations, and energy to refresh your whole being.


Taurus (April 21st – May 20th )


Your beauty and radiance shine, and perhaps this is the greatest gift you can give this holiday season. You


don’t


have to try or earn love and affection for already you are perfect and enough as you are. A new sense of self worth, as well as a new sense of what is worth your pursuing may surprise you in many ways in the weeks ahead. As a result of your growing confidence you can relax a little more and accomplish certain goals quicker.


Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)

There may be many radical releases in certain aspects of your life during the first half of December. The lunar eclipse in your sign on the 10th brings up strong emo- tions, but also a great sense of clarity and new solutions to old problems. Things get eas- ier for you and in general the second half of the month. New levels of commitment within partnerships and a sense of shared destiny bless you this holiday season. The Twins are like love birds now!


Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)


This month, as is often the case, you want to give and do so much for others, and yet must remember to also give to yourself what you need. In the first half of the month you may feel as though you are emerging from a thick fog. It may be especially important to break away from either exces- sive work or harmful habits in order to spend quality time with your closest loved ones. Allow others to appreciate you and shower you with love.


Leo ( July 23rd – August 22nd)


It would be wise to get as much work done during the first half of December as possible, so that later during the month you can kick back and enjoy the lights. You’re probably in a rather generous mood this holiday season, but don’t go overboard with gifts. Remember that sometimes gifts can be crafted at home, recycled, or intangible. The most treasured gifts are those that come from the heart, and you have a heard of gold that is overflowing.


Virgo (August 23rd – Sept 22nd)


You’re full of vim and vigor these days, and many plans and projects are coming to fruition as a result. A resolu- tion of issues with bosses and coworkers may be a preva- lent theme among those born under your sign this month. People may become more at ease around you than usual, sensing your relaxed attitude toward them and life in gen- eral. You might be better off waiting until mid-December before purchasing any extrav- agant gifts.


Scorpio (Oct 23rd – Nov 22nd)


When you feel alone or weary, remember who loves you, who supports you and is on your side. If the beginning of the month seems a bit bumpy, it will even out toward the middle and your hard work and efforts will pay off. Take advantage of the bursts of energy that fill you and seek as many creative outlets as possible. This way you can quickly rid yourself of doubt and anxiety, simply living in the moment with spontaneity.


Sagittarius (Nov 23rd – Dec 21st)


Hope you’re holding onto your hat, ‘cause you’re in for a wild ride! Not to sound too spacey or out “out there”… but eclipse energy is whirl- ing within your being, and brilliant beams of light emit from your aura. You’re espe- cially alert and on the go this month. Your mental quickness may find you in several con- versations all at once, while reading books and listening to the radio. Get centered and prepare for your popularity to expand!


Pisces (Feb 19th – March 20th)


This could be a very sweet holiday month for you Pisces. You’ll get to go out and social- ize, and to stay home and cuddle – the best of both worlds! If you’ve been giving a lot and doing for others as is the natural tendency of those born your sign, you may be surprised at how much good- ness and gifts come your way. Regardless of how generous or good you’ve been, there is a deep unconditional love that is being offered.


Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your


neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. Benjamin Franklin


A dog, I have always said, is prose; a cat is a poem. ~Jean Burden

UPBEAT TIMES • December 2011 • 31 Aquarius (Jan 20th – Feb18th)


Have you been wishing for deep change in some aspect of your life? It is forthcom- ing, and you needn’t try to force it to happen. What you have set into motion is now moving toward beneficial manifestation. The best way you can help things along at this point is to have positive expectations. Even on rainy days. Even if the dog eats your notebook, or when that phone doesn’t ring and your anticipation drops. Have faith in divine timing.


Libra (September 23rd – Oct 22nd)


This month you want to make things easier for yourself, without making much of an effort to make them easier, to relax without having to sit down and relax. You’ll want to go Christmas shopping with- out having to drive or lift a fin- ger. Maybe you can! You may even desire peace of mind, while


chattering profusely.


Ah dear…what can we do? Relationships improve toward the second half of this month when you open up and share yourself.


Capricorn (Dec 22nd – Jan 19th)


It’s your special time of year Capricorn, and even if you aren’t in the mood for a party, it would be a good idea to have or attend one or a few anyway. Wherever you’re heading, whatever your goal, do remember to stop to smell the roses. This may be a finan- cially rewarding month for you, but don’t spend all your dough in one place. You may be considering a new house or home décor. If a house, wait until mid-month for best results.
