Love is in the air, but there's a train wreck on the ground

For this first day of December the wake-up call is from Mother Moon. Seldom has she had such a busy morning. She wakes up (barely) in Pisces at 6:30 a.m., a super-sensitive and very active imagination going to work like a dry sponge, soaking up every emotion around the globe!

Next, this impressionable Moon sleepily winks at Jolly Jupiter, acknowledging how good they both feel today. In such a good mood, she decides she’s up for a thought-provoking, hand-holding jog with Powerful Pluto. Having exercised her unconscious mind, this ball of yin energy rests on a hillside to write a love sonnet with Venus. All this before noon!

The mighty Warrior Mars in Virgo takes offense at all this soft, touchy-feely stuff. He insists on everyone getting back to work, focusing on the tasks at hand. His energy is quite high, not one to back down. Efficiency first, love later. A commotion ensues. Practically the whole Zodiac is taking sides! It’s a test. Where do you stand today?

Aries (March 20-April 19)
You’ve had a lovely yoga class this morning. On the drive home, a brown van labeled “24 Hour Emergency Cleaners” cuts across the solid white line, veers in front of you, and careens into the exit lane. Yes, it’s that kind of day. How will you handle it? Can you keep your peace of mind? Just move on and forget about it, Aries-style?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You love your morning latte, it’s one the pleasures you count on to start your day at Starbucks. Next to you a homeless guy has wandered in, collecting free sugar packets, and he elbows your latte to the floor. This is the kind of confrontation that could spoil the naturally good feelings coming your way today. It’s a test. What’s most important to you?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Today’s sensitive Pisces Moon doesn’t fit well with your high energy. You want to get things done. You really don’t want to stop for the obligatory office birthday party. It seems like a waste of time. But today’s not the day to grin and bare it. The love that’s in the air will elude you until you release the tension by saying what you really think. Have you recently given in on lots of little issues that were really adding up? Where do you need to take a stand?

Cancer (June 21-July 21)
It’s a sweet morning that’s full of good vibes. Perfect for planning your gift list. Just don’t get carried away with thinking you know what everyone needs. You may be the only one who’s able to weather today's’ angry vibes and keep your cool. This is where that famous time-out in your protective shell comes in handy. You know the secret. Just walk away!

Leo (July 22-August 22)
The morning feels a little lazy, but the pace picks up with a challenge from Warrior Mars in Virgo. Perhaps a test of patience. You’re happily working away, hands immersed in paint, and a bee lands on your nose. You swat it. Paint flying everywhere. Seldom do you show that roaring temper, but the tension in some situation needs to be released, and a bee is just the trigger.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The energetic drive that you’ve been enjoying for some time now gets directed today to the deeper aspects of your love relationships. You welcome the intensity of your interactions, letting it lift you out of some hum-drum routine. It’s good for you, because otherwise you might feel so ambitious, even obsessed, that you overwork. The Pisces Moon in your opposite sign calls you to dream a little. Be a little lazy.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
As long as you don’t take it too far, the urge this morning to indulge yourself, to slow down, should be heeded. Since it’s coming from the watery Pisces Moon, your airy Libra Sun will want to figure it all out, but it can’t be done. Accept those good vibes on faith. Today and tomorrow you can expect a test, a challenge, that will force you to take a stand for what you believe. Believe in you.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You wake with a feeling of well-being. Yet in the course of the day you encounter a challenge. Do you know what you really need? You may feel obsessed with a love interest today or powerfully in the grips of a new attraction. It may not even be good for you, but you’re driven to have it. You’re experiencing the power of love. Wait a few days to evaluate.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 20)
Your mind is sharp, your thinking is clear. Now is a good time to decide what your rights truly are. Today, you or another person will draw a line in the sand to challenge you on some issue. You will gain strength by being forced to pay attention, to know what you need. Nothing today is lukewarm, including your love relationships. If you channel that fire creatively, a truly transcendent experience could be yours.


Capricorn (December 21-January 19)
How sweet it is! To be loved by you today is some one's dream come true. Pluto is conjoined with Venus in your sign. That’s a transformative depth of feeling combined with the goddess of Love’s transcendent best. Love’s power is yours, and it is not lukewarm! Your challenge is to ask for what, or whom, you want. You must take a stand for your love.

Aquarius (January 20-February 17)
Hold on tight to your dream. It has a little fog around the edges right now, but you’re on your way to clarity. Look for a test or two along your path this week that challenges you. You won’t feel like compromising, but that is exactly what you should do. Guard what has heart and meaning for you, let go of the rest. Know why you occupy the turf you stand on.

Pisces (February 18-March 19)
Such a lovely morning in store for you with the nurturing Moon in your sign. It isn’t just laziness. Enjoy a sense of well-being. Build your strength. Later today and tomorrow there may be a test of your ability to stand up for yourself. If someone oversteps your boundaries, you need to call them on it. This is a time you should not back down.
