Arts & Culture HOROSCOPES December 11- 18, 2014
December 11, 2014
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Though action and adventure may call to you, Jupiter's retrograde phase encourages you to slow down and opt for inner journeys that encourage greater self-knowledge. The emphasis shifts with a focus on exploring those beliefs that affect your creativity and experience of romance. You may feel a desire to be free of rules and regulations, and you might consider working for yourself as opposed to a company or corporation. Don't act impulsively, though. Take it one step at a time.
Taurus
May 21 - Jun 20
You'll be eager to explore ideas for earning more money, and you may be tempted to invest in classes with this aim in mind. Information is key this week, and accessing the knowledge you need could prove a turning point. At home, Jupiter's retrograde phase may slow down your plans for your house or family. Seeds planted may take longer to come to fruition. Later, a potent transit suggests you may be limited by outdated beliefs. It's time to replace them.
Gemini
May 21 - Jun 20
Partnerships and relationships flourish this week as your involvement with others expands. You can expect a lot of encouragement, but try not to promise more than you can deliver. Later, the cosmos encourages you to reflect on deep soul bonds and committed relationships and how much you're willing to share. Key could be finding the balance between keeping things lighthearted and desiring security and commitment. However, social delights await you over the weekend, with the potential for a love adventure.
Cancer
Jun 21 - Jul 22
There are advantages to be gained from stepping outside of your comfort zone this week. Say yes to new people, places, and experiences, particularly if you're looking for a new job or hoping to set up a business for yourself. Meanwhile, Jupiter's retrograde phase encourages you to ponder the spiritual source of your supply. Doing so could be a revelation. Finally, a revolutionary transit encourages you to take your goals and dreams seriously.
Leo
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Creative and romantic opportunities seem well starred, especially early in the week. Yet as Jupiter rewinds in your sign, you may find certain associations or projects a bit too superficial. It's time to direct your energy to activities and people who have depth and inspire you. Despite this, your social life continues to flourish, as do romantic options. Big questions circle around in your head as you may notice a desire to escape from too much responsibility, but at what cost?
Virgo
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Focus on home affairs, plans, and projects that need to get sorted before the holiday week. You may be the one organizing get-togethers, especially as people seem to enjoy chilling out at your place. Give yourself a chance for some alone time, as this is when inspiration could strike, bringing solutions to problems and creative ideas. Over the weekend you might be faced with a dilemma, as a potent transit encourages you to be honest about your feelings rather than hold back.
Libra
Sep 23 - Oct 22
Your outlook is upbeat and expectant, with a desire to reach out and connect. As the festive season gets underway it's time to send cards and messages to those who are dear to your heart, which you'll enjoy. Jupiter turns retrograde in your social sector, so you may prefer your own company and the chance to reflect at times. Still, there will be enough get-togethers to keep you occupied. Later, ask yourself if you're resisting an idea whose time has come.
Scorpio
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Spend time at home where you can think up ambitious plans and share your ideas with family and friends. You might want to invest in gadgets and other devices that make life easier. Jupiter turns retrograde in your career sector on Monday, so a goal or career move could take longer to materialize. This might not be a bad thing, encouraging you to reflect on what's best for you. Finally, you might notice how your thoughts affect your well-being for better or worse.
Sagittarius
Nov 22 - Dec 21
Your responsibilities to others may seem to restrict your freedom and dampen your enthusiasm. If real-life demands weigh you down, perhaps you'll escape through travel or other adventures. As Jupiter turns retrograde in Leo, you may prefer to acquire more knowledge. Regular meditation and reflection over the weeks ahead can encourage you to review and change outdated beliefs. Avoid impulsive moves over the weekend that might affect your financial security, even if you're tempted to take a gamble.
Capricorn
Dec 22 - Jan 19
You may want to help out with charity work or volunteer your time in other ways. A focus on your spiritual sector encourages you to be generous, as by giving you will receive. Meanwhile, Venus hikes into your sign on Wednesday, boosting your confidence and making you an attractive option. Later, you may notice a conflict between putting yourself and your own thoughts and feelings first versus doing your duty and making sure you fulfill your responsibilities. You may need to strike a balance.
Aquarius
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Your social life is busy, but you aren't complaining! With festive get-togethers keeping you busy, you're in your element. Jupiter turns retrograde in your relationship sector on Monday, so interactions could slow. For instance, a business partnership may see you both acting more independently for a while and learning much as a result. If you're in a long-term relationship, you may relish more alone time. Finally, the weekend may set you thinking about what's holding you back from being successful.
Pisces
Feb 19 - Mar 20
A focus on Sagittarius and your career sector makes this a good time to get your message out to the world, and to be bold and forthright about doing so. When it comes to everyday matters or lifestyle issues, it might be time to journey within to uncover and release anything blocking success. Your social life picks up midweek, with romance looking likelier. Finally, if a friend disapproves of your behavior, you might wonder why you hang out with him or her.
