December Tarotscopes Fa La La...

Athena and Centaur (Botticelli, 1482)

Sagittarius- The Wheel of Fortune:


Happy birthday, Archer! December’s Tarotscope highlights a change in fortune for you... the thing is, I am not sure which fortune you will get!

If you have had really bad luck of late then expect December to start feeling much easier, lighter, less of a struggle. If you have had a great run the past month or so then batten down the hatches, kid, cause that excellent luck is about to run out. Either way, expect big changes in December from the rest of fall.





Capricorn- The Fool: The holidays can be such a stressful time, especially to those of us who want things just right, the wrapping perfectly creased (ahem). So if things do not live up to our expectations we can get stressed. The Fool is calling you, Capricorn, to let go of the small things and remember to see the holidays like you did as a child; full of wonder and joy. Create luscious playtime, eat deliciousness, hug deeply.

Aquarius- 10/Cups: Family, friends, loving relationships and strengthening ties are what December will be about my water bearer. Leave the political discourse at the door and over the holidays ask yourself, “What can I say or do to bring this relationship closer?” Let go of the need to be right (though you often are) and grasp more tightly to the need to be intimate and loving with your family.

Pisces- Strength: You may find yourself as the sudden backbone and support for a variety of other relationships in your life. Those others will look to you for your wisdom, your calm, your emotional depth and connection. These others may also look to you for reassurance as they struggle with issues around fairness and your job is to provide them with strength both fierce and soft. Stay present and listen deeply.


Aries- Queen/Wands: There could not be a more natural correspondence between Aries and Queen of Wands; both are fiery, passionate, risk taking adventurers and in December your creative side will have a desire to come out, feeling crafty are we? Making Christmas gifts for others or dressing your table beautifully laden with remarkable food? Try to carve out some time to delve into your artistic spirit as it will enhance your fun of this season overall.


Taurus- The Sun: Being among family and friends, eating delicious snacks and seeing the twinkling of lights could be one of Taurus’ favorite things being the sensual creature that you are. December gives you that in spades my bull with December feeling very positive; full of friendship and drama-free(ish) good times. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!


Gemini- Ace/Cups: That heart achey Mercury Retrograde is still echoing in your heart, Gemini and it feels like October and into mid November were a trial for you. December brings to you the Ace/Cups: the card of love, reassuring you that dawn always comes and you are still so very, very loved and not lost, not one bit. Your job in December is to just accept the love and care lavished upon you by others.


Cancer- 7/Cups: Hey dreamer, the card of illusions shines above you who are already one foot in dreamland. What are you planning for next year? What do you want 2014 to look like, feel like become for you? December is permission to dream, even that one tiny little impossible dream you cannot shake; draw it, journal it. In some small way bring that dream into the world. It is ok not to have a choice made yet, just follow you heart’s desire to the end of the road and decide to make a decision next month.


Leo- 6/Pentacles: Leo at her best is a Leo who is giving to others. Make December be about being selfless, give of your time, your resources and your heart to those less fortunate; ask yourself, “How am I serving the world?” and commit to giving more of that gorgeous bright-gold heart of yours. The term lion-hearted is one you will be embracing this month.


Virgo- Ace/Wands: December is a month of a new beginning for you; this could be in work, in relationships or in your home. Is there something you have been putting off doing? Make December the month to begin again and feel the amazing energy and passion that will come with living within who you really are, making decisions that bring you closer to your heart-song. We all have a heart-song beating out the rhythm of our lives and this month you will undertake to follow that melody more closely; say yes more and less ‘let’s see’.


Libra- Page/Cups: I love this card as it often signifies a sweet, innocent and loving relationship with another person. It does not necessarily mean romantic; it is just innocent and sweet; making cookies with a daughter, watching Wheel of Fortune with Grandma, snuggling with kitties emailing and calling those you love to tell them how you love them so. Send love notes along with those holiday cards and delve into the sweetness of being.


Scorpio- 4/Wands: Another one of my favorite cards, December highlights having a great time with family and friends and hosting events and parties at home that just feel good. Creating harmony and opportunities for celebration as you think about what you have accomplished in 2013 is in order. I am coming over to your place for New Year’s because it looks like you are bringing the party with you!
