Horoscopes December 2015


by Yerevan readingsbyyerevan@gmail.com Aries (3/21 - 4/20)


December may be packed full of excitement and moments of emotional contentment for those born under your sign. The time is ripe for bold moves as others in your life are ac- tually in the position of readiness to receive what you have to offer or suggest. There might be someone at home who needs your care or begs for your attention in some way, and only you can gauge how much time and energy you have for them. The road to your future is opening before your eyes.


Taurus (4/21 - 5/20)


Your connection to family or community is healing and may lead you to new direc- tions in the weeks and months ahead. Also, many of the your past labors are beginning to bear fruits, and prosperity is beginning to flow more easily in you life. Your relation- ships are taking you either to great depths or heights in consciousness, and reveal- ing things to you that you might not have considered or entertained in a long time. A rebirth of your essence embodied is un- derway.


Gemini (5/21 - 6/20)


Your relationship status is subject to either change significantly or to becomes a high- light in social settings this month. Working together with your partner or loved ones is more effective than working alone at this time. It could be that your commitment to personal values is deepening and you are finally ready to dedicate yourself in a new or renewed way to your passions. Your ap- proach to finances is shifting and bringing many unexpected opportunities.


Cancer (6/21 - 7/22)


You are being supported from various sources toward getting in touch with your unique purpose this month, and recognizing the impact that you have in your contribu- tions. Whether you are taking on a leader- ship position or experiencing new levels of freedom, your perceptions and methods of service could be expanding. In career settings there may be a lot of debate or negotiations taking place. Whatever your gender, work with strong women is another highlight.


Leo (7/23 - 8/22)


This holiday season loved ones capture your attention from new angles, and you may be challenged to improve the functionality of your relationships in general. A love affair could pull you out of your comfort zone or mirror your hid- den qualities. Children or personal creations take on wild new colors and expressions you didn’t think were possible. Resisting the flow of energy and change in your life could lead to anxiety, so it would be helpful to practice exercises and tech- niques that increase both mental and physical flexibility such as yoga or Tai Chi.


Virgo (8/23 - 9/22)


A continuation of small and large scale up- grades to your office and home keep you busy this month, as you work toward creating better environments to suit your customers, clients, family members, guests, and last but not least yourself! You might become inter- ested in or involved in group related endeav- ors, particularly those that relate to health in some way. Traveling or relocations would be beneficial during the first half of December. By the new year you may seek solid momentum.

Libra (9/23 - 10/22)


Your roles in life have been shifting dramati- cally during the past year, and will continue to do so on a much grander scale in 2016. Your capacity to address issues beyond your own is increasing, and this may come in the form of writing, speaking, charity, community work, or taking other direct ac- tions. The ability to heal mental scars and release personal agitations becomes im- portant, as securing finances and whatever supports your livelihood comes with greater ease.


Scorpio (10/23 - 11/22)


December could be an empowering month for you, as long as you don’t allow your emotions to take hold. There might be temporary storms, but your overall momen- tum is steady, and you might actually find that you are more on track with goals than you’ve been in months. This increases you confidence in being able to manifest and provide for yourself and loved ones. Any serious bars to your money and resources should be lifted, as abundance begins to pour forth.


Sagittarius (11/23 - 12/21)


There is likely to be some change in your daily rhythms this month, perhaps some life-altering or inspiring event that causes you to change your course. Relationships could be very surprising as well, or a new one could bring excitement. Emotions are probably running high with the full moon in your sign, and as difficult as it may seem to manage them you have a lot of support from friends and family. Your career or work position is likely to advance in some way by month’s end.

Capricorn (12/22 - 1/19)


There is an energy quietly building in your life whether or not this is visible to others or even yourself. There is magic brimming beneath the surface as though you are ready to emerge from a chrysalis. Don’t quit before your miracle occurs! On a mundane level there could be lots of boring stuff to tend, like bills, repairs, and perhaps plan- ning for the year ahead. Are you outgrowing a relationship or ready to tear up and old contract? In some way, it’s time to move on.


Aquarius (1/20 - 2/18)


You might prefer to swim or fly, but this is a time for walking, standing and even getting “grounded” so to speak. You’ll need some kind of solidity to help you cope with a num- ber of shifting factors in your relationships, home life, and career. Meanwhile, you may be asked to join in on a certain collaborative work or community endeavor. There may also be some degree of conflict between going outward and remaining inward but you will find the balance in it all.


Pisces (2/19 - 3/20)


You are reaching some kind of peak or social prominence this month, which could change the direction of a creative project you’ve been working on. If either you have been searching for others to join your cause or waiting for an invitation to join the cause of another, your wish could be fulfilled. There is so much more beneath the surface of things than you had dreamed of, and this is why your opinions or plans on certain matters are seriously beginning to morph.

Four Secrets to a Happy Belly


Dr. Melissa DeForest, ND ~ melissa@northskyclinic.com


Petaluma, CA. ~ The key to a happy belly is taking care of what’s inside. Your gut is filled with a diverse population of bac- teria, known as the microbiome. In the last edition of the Upbeat Times I wrote about what the microbiome is and all the wonderful things it does for our bod- ies. In this article I reveal four secrets to making it happy and keeping it that way.


1. Eat Plant Fiber. One way to keep your belly hap- py is to feed it real, whole foods with fiber. Plant


fiber is the preferred food source for your friendly bacteria. You can get plenty of fiber by eating both cooked and raw vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Only plants con- tain fiber, and the more it looks like it did when growing, the more it will benefit your body and your microbiome. Choose or- ganic whenever possible, because GMO foods and pesticides con- tain chemicals that alter and de- stroy your friendly gut bacteria.


2. Eat Fermented Food. Foods that are naturally fermented con- tain probiotics within the food and brine. Examples are sauer- kraut, pickles, and unsweetened kombucha. They are found in the refrigerated section of your natu- ral food store, and never contain vinegar. Make sure you read the label carefully to know that it is truly fermented. You can also make your own at home.


3. Reduce Sugar and Processed Food. We all know that eating less processed food is good for us, but here is the main reason why: Sugar, processed food and fast food are all clinically proven to reduce the health of your microbiome. The sugars and emulsi- fiers in processed foods are what feed the unfriendly bacteria and yeast. This leads to them


becoming stronger, taking up more real estate in your intes- tines. The more the unfriendly bacteria grow, the more you will experience problems in your digestion and beyond.


4. Reduce Standard Meat and Dairy. When animals are raised on factory farms, they are fed antibiotics which then get into their meat and milk. If you eat these animal products every day it’s the same as taking low dose antibiotics every day, which we all know is harmful to our friend- ly bacteria. To ensure you are not getting antibiotics, read the label and look for organic, grass-fed or free-range.


It can be hard to make changes around the holidays, so make these a part of your New Year’s resolutions. Your body will thank you, your trillions of


friendly


bacteria will thank you, and your belly will be happy. (See her ad on page 24 to learn more!)
