Skywatch For The Week Of December 14-21, 2012

265

Adventure is the name of the game that warms the heart of the Sagittarius. But anyone born this week should be slightly more careful since they could now pick up some of the practical Capricorn energy.
Certainly the thrill of the game makes this fire sign magnetic, charming and a lover of freedom.
The wide-open spaces and the freedom it promises are the lifeblood of the Sagit­tarius. But the Sagittarius born this week may miss the opportunity to try the wide-open spaces since they will have a more practical nature.
All Sagittarians dream big dreams. They can discuss any subject from philosophy to world travel. This fire sign is full of energy and also enjoys sports, banking and sales. They make great salespeople since they are charming, magnetic and have the true gift of gab.
 
People born this week: Don Johnson, Dec. 15, 1949; Benjamin Bratt, Dec. 16, 1963; Chris Matthews, Dec. 17, 1945; Steven Spielberg, Dec. 18, 1946; Alyssa Milano, Dec. 19, 1972; David Wright, Dec. 20, 1982; and Ray Romano, Dec. 21, 1957.
 
The new moon was Dec. 13 so this puts us in the position to start any new ventures we wish to undertake before the new year begins. The best day this week will be next Friday when the sun moves into Capricorn and the moon is in Aries. That is a good day to jumpstart any project.
 
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Making change may be easy for you now because Uranus happens to be moving slowly through Aries, but just remember others may find it difficult to keep up with your pace. This is a perfect time for you to make some moves but slow down so others can keep up with you.
 
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) It is time to let go of some of your hang ups and let your pals do the same. You need a totally different attitude now surrounding the really important issues in your life. If you continue to hang on to the past, you are going to miss some really fantastic adventures. Let go and find your own real needs.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) You need to become more aware of the influence you now have over others. Otherwise you are your own worst enemy. Plus, you are headed in the wrong direction. Once you realize your leadership potential, there will be no stopping your success. So think about improving the quality of life around you.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) With Mars about to move into Scorpio, life will start to take on a new glow for you. Your anger will let go and life will take on a new meaning. So with this in mind, plan a few holiday celebrations – without the usual tension of the past. You are set for a good time if you just let it happen. No more worries.
 
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) With Saturn now in Scorpio you need to get busy and organize your life from morning to night. In this way you can take on more responsibility and make more money faster. Your life will be mellow and success will follow as you take on new and more intense interest at work.
 
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) Taking a strong stand in your life is exactly what you need to do. You have been too easy on others while you do the work. Stop being so easygoing. It is time to demand that others do their share. Once the new you is geared up, your life will balance out and be rewarding.
 
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) Keep a keen eye on your finances since there will be opportunities to make more money and spend less time doing it. The work you are now involved in will begin to pay off and you will love the way it makes you feel. A new and interesting face will cross your path and light up your life.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) Your new lifestyle should be fitting you beautifully and, if it isn’t, all you need to do is shift your view of things. With Saturn in Scorpio for two-plus years, you are involved in the payoff. Since you work hard and have influence on many you will start to feel really appreciated. Enjoy it.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) Look at your professional life with an eye to the future and where you want to take yourself. If you wish to go further in your career, then it is time to bring more discipline into your work environment. Otherwise you will miss a great chance to go higher in the job. Think about it.
 
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) With Mars in Capricorn there should be plenty of activity in your life. If there isn’t, you might consider taking some action to liven things up. Otherwise you are missing a great opportunity to advance your career. Even if it is party time, you should be thinking more of work.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) If you are making judgments of others, then it is time to stop and rethink your life’s purpose. The word should be mind your own business and keep your opinions to yourself. In that way you will feel far better about your work and home life. You need to follow your own parade.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) If you have more to do than you can handle, it might be time to ask for some help. Living as a victim is nice sometimes, but not now for you. You need to stand up and be counted; your ideas are too important. So count your blessings and ask if you need some help.
