You may feel like it’s time to razzle dazzle everybody, but actually, the opposite is true. You need to dial it back. You can blame this misread of the room on the Sun/Neptune square taking place on December 16th. This planetary aspect makes people believe that they’re making a favorable impression when they’re not. It’s not unlike the person singing karaoke at the Holiday party who thinks they sound like Taylor Swift. Wait for the Neptune effect to lift on December 29th before engaging a potential customer or date. This is when the coast is clear, and it’s safe to go back into the water.

Your excitement is irrepressible when there’s a New Moon in Sagittarius on December 12th. You’re so passionate that you can wind up doing the enthusing for everyone in the room. What can happen at times like these is that people will play along with what you want because they don’t want to disappoint you by voicing what they really think and feel. That’s why it’s wise to touch base after a few days to make sure they’re as thrilled about a prospect as you are. You don’t want people to say “yes” to your face and then beat a hasty retreat when you’re not looking.

You can always tell when something’s changed. Call it instinct or a built-in “Spidey sense,” but when that silent alarm goes off, you know it’s best to head for the nearest exit. Things are about to take a downward turn, and you need to get out. This is what you’ll be feeling on December 13th when Mercury turns retrograde, and after distancing yourself from a situation, you may wonder if it was the right call. Things will appear to be the same, but wait until after the Sun/Neptune square on the 16th. That’s when you’ll see that you were right to act when you did.

It’s hard to believe you’re fraternizing with the enemy, but a Mercury/Venus sextile on December 11th has a funny way of making that happen. Some might say that difficult circumstances make strange bedfellows, but it’s more than that. The two of you really enjoy each other’s company. It could be common interests, a shared sense of humor, or a commitment to doing the right thing. It’s aggravating that you’ll never be on the same page ideologically, but maybe that’s not a deal breaker. Like Rick and Captain Louis Renault at the end of the movie Casablanca, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Neptune, the planet of figments, phantoms, and illusory hopes, comes out of retrograde on December 6th.
This is when everyone wakes from the collective dream they’ve been dreaming these past 5 months and greets the reality they find staring them in the face.
For some, it will feel like a new day where they stretch out their arms, feeling revived, refreshed, and ready to get on with life.
For others, it may feel like a hangover where they try to recount what was done (and why) while struggling with the impulse to bury their heads back beneath the covers.
Neptune is the planet most associated with popular delusions and the madness of crowds. It’s also associated with zeitgeists, social movements, and visions of a better world. Whether you were deluded or inspired is something you will come to discover over the next few weeks.

It’s rare when you have a spat about money. It’s not the sort of thing that concerns you unless it affects someone you care about. If that’s the case, then you will marshal the forces to protect this person’s interests. Venus’s entrance into Scorpio on December 4th shows that someone has been exploiting a loved one financially or hasn’t been keeping up with their part of the bargain. You’ll want to fly to the rescue, but before you do, make a point of listening to both sides as they may each be culpable. Perhaps what’s needed here is more of a moderator than a policeman.

For months you’ve felt adrift. Now some people might say Pisceans always feel adrift, but this is different. You’re used to following an inner current; a current that may not take you where you want to go, but you’ve always trusted would take you where you need to go. Last July your Modern Ruler Neptune reversed direction in the sky which is why it’s felt like you’ve been traveling in circles like a rudderless ship. Thankfully Neptune comes out of retrograde on December 6th. This puts you back on track where you’ll soon discover where the Universe has been trying to lead you all along.

It’s unnerving to realize that you’ve been the object of someone’s jealousy. Envy is one of those “does not compute” emotions. Now this isn’t to say that you’re above such things. For instance, Aquarians are famously paranoid that people are talking behind their back, but envy? Why would anyone be jealous of you? Nevertheless, it does explain a rival’s nasty maneuver and now that it’s been revealed you need to do something. Your instinct will be to wave it away, but you can’t afford to be so blasé. You must ensure it never happens again and that means taking actions that you wouldn’t normally take.

You’ve made it a rule not to offer advice unless asked first. This isn’t easy for a Saturn ruled sign like yours because you’ve always been a long-range planner and can often see where people will run afoul of circumstances before they do. However, Capricorn is a parental sign which means that you’ve also learned that loved ones and friends need to make their own mistakes. How else will they learn from them? On December 7th things will mess up exactly as you knew they would. You’ll be sorely tempted to say “I told you so” but offer a shoulder to lean on instead.

You hate it when anyone is upset with you, but you need to leave it alone for now. Asking what you did wrong when they don’t want to talk about it is like a dog that keeps nuzzling a cat that doesn’t want to be bothered. You’re going to get your nose scratched if you don’t watch out. Fire signs hate icy silences (it goes against your expressive nature) but you need to wait until Venus in Scorpio has completed her opposition to Jupiter in Taurus. It’s unlikely that you will be contacted directly, but you will hear from an intermediary – probably around the 8th.

Venus in Scorpio for the next four weeks makes you the person people can’t live without. It’s going to take a while to realize that they’re being sincere. At first, you’ll be perplexed, then suspicious, and perhaps even desperate as you try to convince them that you are not all that. Yet you are. For years you’ve pined away for impossible loves and now it will be impossible loves who will long for you. Enjoy it while it lasts and remember to be nice to those whose affections you don’t share. Let them down gently in the way you wished others had done with you.
