Horoscopes (Dec. 20-26)

SAGITTARIUS: Nov.r 21 – Dec. 20 The last two years have put you through the ringer. All of this has honed something new and different out of what was there before. As you move through the next few weeks be advised that there's a whole new ballgame going on, and you are the pitcher. Others have no idea what you've had to process. They may even take it for granted. If you are at the point where you are ready to enlighten them to where you're really at, it is either going to jolt them into seeing things for what they are, or keep them stuck on the idea that you are willing to remain under their thumb.

So much has changed, or is about to. With more clarity than you've had in a long time, you seem to have found the courage to step out of the box, into the space where what has always been there as potential is about to come true. How things go from here depends entirely on whether you can remain in integrity. That will mean different things for each of you. In the act of staying true to yourself, and leaving your ego in the dust, what you have always wanted will become real.

Sponsored by Bankrate TAURUS: April 21 – May 20 Work and health issues have kept things at a standstill for quite some time. In the course of healing yourself, and/or putting up with difficulties on the job, you have awakened to things that will allow you to make needed adjustments. Watch and see what comes around between now and next June. The "stuff" that has been bollixing things up will smooth out and open the space for newness and change. If you are the type to want to keep things the way they are, do your best to loosen up and realize that the past is over. What comes next? Heed the signs; they are everywhere. GEMINI: May 21 – June 20 Whatever's going on is what you need to be free and open enough to accept. Half of your problems originate in the idea that none of this is OK, and all of it should be different. You won't be able to move through this quagmire until you can learn to live with the truth and start loving what is, instead of trying to change it. It's for sure that you've got a raft of hassles and more than one reason to be down on yourself. But God is everywhere: It's in our darkest hour that we get our most valuable lessons and open the space to wake up to the deepest aspects of ourselves. CANCER: June 21 – July 20 If it's time to get things off your chest, take a chance and let it out. To think that it's better to keep it to yourself is a cop out. While I understand why you hate conflict, the sound of silence is deafening, and what you don't say speaks louder and clearer than you can imagine. People aren't stupid. Neither are you. The minute you bring things out into the open the air will clear, and you, and whoever this involves, will be able to move to the next level. You may not be sure enough of yourself to go for it, but standing up for yourself will allow the truth to set you free. LEO: July 21 – Aug. 20 The only thing that's holding you back is having enough faith to walk your talk. If it's easy to tout the idea that we came here to follow our bliss, when push comes to shove, what's hard to release is the belief that earning a living takes precedence over any desire to do so. In this day and age, we can't call ourselves a spiritually oriented person if we refute the notion that following the light makes it impossible to make money. The waters of the Red Sea will part once you fully embrace the notion that God supports all of us who have truly logged on to our purpose. VIRGO: Aug. 21 – Sept. 20 The heat is off. After a long period of stress and testing, you are about to enter a period of smooth sailing. From what I can see there will be changes that solidify all of the effort that has been expended over the last few years. Be prepared for people who matter to show up with offers that you would be foolish to refuse. A deeper understanding of what you are here for will reinforce these opportunities in ways that allow you to pursue things on your own terms. What comes out of this will support you for a long time to come. This is your reward, your time in the sun. LIBRA: Sept. 21 – Oct. 20 After a series of challenges, you guys are about to find out whether your decisions have led you to the right place. The proof will be in the pudding. The way things have turned out will be all the evidence you need to access your next move. Some of you are more aligned with the truth than others. If you are hip to it, you will know enough to go back to the point where the first lie got told and clear things up. Decisions that were based on fear or lack will need to be corrected. If you are averse to coming clean, you will rearrange the furniture and remain stuck in the same groove. SCORPIO: Oct. 21 – Nov. 20 You are just about to "step out of the phone booth" and assume your true identity. It's as if the sleeper cell that has been there since day one is getting lit up. Within this state of affairs it will be necessary to surrender to the inevitable and leave the past behind. Those closest to you will undoubtedly be surprised by all of this. Some of them will go through hell and high water to keep things as they are. Others will shun you — and there will be a few who understand that your transformation is about to awaken them too. It's time to shed your skin. Do your best to remain open. SAGITTARIUS: Nov.r 21 – Dec. 20 The last two years have put you through the ringer.

CAPRICORN: Dec. 21 - Jan. 20 You guys have all kinds of stuff popping up. Some of it is working for you; the rest of it makes you wonder if your best laid plans have gone awry. At times like this it becomes important to see the forest for the trees. Whatever you had in mind is most likely the brainchild of your ego and your control needs. What's taking place in real time is there to show you what needs to be adjusted in order to meet the wishes of the higher self. To make any attempt to force the issues will make things harder than they have to be. Lay off pushing the envelope and start loving what is.

AQUARIUS: Jan. 21 – Feb. 20 The gods are shining on you! All kinds of blessings have fallen into your lap. They have arrived in the form of good luck, and/or rewards granted for years of hard work and effort. If the wind in your sails is refreshing, the next few weeks will see you walking on air. In addition to this, all of a sudden life has made it possible for you to release the long held belief that you will never have enough, or you have to kill yourself to get it. Those days are over, my friend! From here on out the idea that life is what you make it will open the space to weave the future straight from your heart.

PISCES: Feb. 21 – March 20 There are two versions of where you all are at. Some of you are right on the money, with enough sense to see, and read, the writing on the wall. In your case, your intuitive faculties are sharp as a tack and ready to carry you through the next round of changes on a slipstream of success. For others? Pisces is always subject to delusional forces that make it appear as if you've got it all figured out, when in fact you are totally out of touch. Be careful of the extent to which you are convinced you are right, and don't assume that outer success implies that you are safe and secure.
