Weekly Horoscopes December 25-31
Welcome to the final throes of 2017, astro babes. It’s been a tough and tender time of revisiting past patterns, digging up entrenched narratives, and coming clean about what stays and what goes on. And now, it’s time to work it, as Capricorn Season settles into our bones and asks us to commit truly, madly, deeply, to the mission we’re here to accomplish. With Venus shifting into the sign of the luxe alpine climber on Christmas Day, we’re asked to find the surprising sweetness inside of hard-won labor, and to go the distance for the kind of love that lasts forever. Think of this energy as diamond mining or truffle butter- a sumptuous material object that’s all the more decadent because of the struggle it took to get it all the way here.
So slip on your mountain climbing booties and belly up to the bar, as you work your muscles for what’s really worth it. For queens of the cosmos, simply nothing less than the best will do..

Rallying Cry:
When I fill myself fully, there’s more than enough to share.
Power Moves:
This week is custom built for cultivating a sense of fullness, Capricorn. With Venus igniting your zone of identity expression, notice where you can simply spill over with selfhood. This is the kind of energy you can channel when dressing up in fancy clothes for a night in. It’s the sensation of gorgeousness that exudes from a place that’s so much deeper than proving or asking for what you want. Give yourself all the permissions and all the treats that you truly deserve, Capricorn, without having to even pause to request anything at all from the Universe. Let yourself be bathed in that glow, Capricorn. Anything or anyone that threatens to sap this honey simply must go. Love yourself from the inside out and see what you’re able to magnetize from this place of pure pleasure.

Rallying Cry:
I am ready to transform experience into knowledge.
Power Moves:
This is an alchemical week for you, Aquarius. You’ve journeyed hard and long and it’s finally time to bring it back home as you start to synthesize your wild experiences and transmute them into the kind of truth that lasts. Be gentle during this process and treat this last week of the year like a sweet celebration of all that’s come before. With Venus in your dream zone, this is prime time for letting your life just wash over you and reveling in the sensations of what’s come to pass. There’s something brewing for you that’s bigger and bolder than even you can imagine right now. And there’s absolutely nothing you need to do to receive it other than be willing and wide open. The light that’s available to you right now is unparalleled. Slip into your wings and drift towards it.

Rallying Cry:
When I ride the rapids fully, I collide with my future.
Power Moves:
It’s go time for you, little mermaid. And as Venus lights up your house of radical futurism, the seeds you’ve plenty are simply fit to burst. There’s nothing more for you to do than slip into the current and woman the ship. This is a delicate balance between ego driven action and allowing, and you’ve been training for it all year. Notice your response to the rapid changes that are unfolding and when you want to step outside the flow of experience because of fear. Fear isn’t the problem at all, Pisces. Hold it in your container, but then stretch the container wider to see it from different angles. And then check your logical mind at the door and dive into the icy blue. And trust that the team you’ve assembled to support you is always with you, lifting you from beneath the waves. Don’t even think about it. Just keep saying yes, Pisces.

Rallying Cry:
I’m the only one who can release myself from burn-out mode.
Power Moves:
You’ve been a bit battle worn lately, Aries, and may be feeling like a shadow of your full, fiery self. Trust that this is exactly where you’re meant to be, however challenging it feels. You’re learning about endurance, stamina, and longevity, and how to be sweet to yourself while you’re in process. As Venus glides into your house of power and self-sufficiency, you’re being asked to become a badass warrior of self-love. Stake your claim to your space, your silence, your bubble baths, your walkabouts. Take as much time as you need. And watch what comes up around the need to take this space. Are you afraid that removing yourself will render you forgotten? That if you don’t keep actioning your life, that it will fall to pieces and you will lose the people and things you’ve labored so hard for? Know that it is precisely the fear of this loss that you’re being asked to face head on. And that the more you release from go mode, the more you will get what’s truly meant for you, without one bit of a struggle.

Rallying Cry:
I’m opening to the notion that my desires are changing.
Power Moves:
It’s a week of constant craving for you, earth goddess, and you may feel a sense of “lack” before you can feel satiated. Know that this is simply because your desire nature is getting an upgrade. There’s a shift happening between what you think you want and what your gut is actually desiring, and this can take the form of looking to the external world for a quick fix or hit to stave off your hunger. With Venus partying in your house of wild adventures, notice where “more, more, more” isn’t actually giving you what you need. By all means, Taurus, celebrate what feels good in your blood and your bones. But notice when the endless buffet starts to feel excessive, and keeps you from really honing in on what’s truly aligned. Practice narrowing your passions, and know that this kind of focused hunting will really bring home the feast.

Rallying Cry:
Balancing my give and take creates a sacred exchange.
Power Moves:
With Venus hanging in your deep diving, Scorpio-ruled house, partnership work continues for you, sweet Gemstone. But this week offers a more expansive opportunity to lift yourself out of the trenches and enjoy the catch and release sensation of giving and taking. Notice this delicate, sacred balance in all of your relationships, and practice moving away from an accounting system of how much someone has contributed, and towards a more instinctive feeling of flow. This is the energy that true gift giving comes from- the sense of spontaneously encountering something you know will be truly beloved by another, and purchasing it from this place. Drop the “shoulds” in this arena and just see what sparkly objects drift across your path. While you’re at it, purge anything from your life that you think could be better used by someone else. The more you release right now, the more that will flow in freely.

Rallying Cry:
When I focus on the glimmer of hope, I can withstand any loss.
Power Moves:
It’s a loss, it’s a find, for you this week, crab cakes. Chances are, it won’t feel easy, but this is exactly as it’s meant to be. You’re leveling up in the arena of partnership, and the growing pains are real. But just notice them for what they are and nothing more. You’re shedding skin, stepping out of old clothes, and there’s a moment where you’ll of course want to cling to your old threads and will feel bare bones naked in your new state. Treat yourself like a fresh babe who’s just entered the world, Cancer. There’s something coming in on the horizon that you can’t even see yet. A tiny, shiny glimmer just outside your range of vision. But first, you’ve got to actually feel the loss. Let it live. Nothing is lost. It’s just undergoing a process of transformation that’s going to leave you with the most beautiful gem you could ever imagine, and you’ll slip it on exactly when the time is right.

Rallying Cry:
Slicing through the extraneous brings me back to the vital.
Power Moves:
With Venus entering your zone of humility, daily work, and body loving, it’s a back to the basics week for you, glamour cat. But don’t let this bring you down. This is actually a fresh and delicious sensation of smoothie making and closet cleaning that can bring you ever closer to creating seamless systems which will help you truly shine. There’s a kind of unlearning that first has to happen here- the sense that there are better supports in your daily life available and that you have to take control over implementing them. And once you do, you’ll be ready to share your message to the world. It’s the kind of energy that will have you leaping out of bed, fully supported inside so you can get on with your work on the outside. Fill your plate with crisp veggies and get snacking on raw vitality.

Rallying Cry:
Letting myself get messy reignites my creativity.
Power Moves:
As Venus settles into your zone of simple joys and straightforward passions, check the analysis at the door and experiment with getting your hands dirty. There are parts of yourself that are asking to be integrated. Pieces of your shadow self that you’ve long denied. And if you’ve been feeling a little gray, a little hollow, know that this is in part because you’ve been placing the clamp down on your own rainbow. Notice where you put out your own flame. Where you manage certain emotions you think aren’t for public consumption. The less you manage and the more you let these live, the more you will be able to recapture a sense of innocent expression that you’ve been craving. Creativity come from both the light and the dark and everything in between, Virgo. Let yourself live in technicolor.

Rallying Cry:
My willingness to wait it out gives me a brand new perspective.
Power Moves:
Imagine yourself tucked safe inside this week, as rapid changes unfold in the world around you. You’re receiving a package. And you don’t even need to track it. It’s on its way. So what will you do while you wait? Notice how impatience can take you out of your present experience, and how much juicy goodness gets lost in this process of obsessively moving towards the next event, place, person. Pay attention to where you feel ravenous and buzzy and hot with impatience, and know that there are big lessons there for you right now. With Venus in your home zone of roots and emo security, you’re being asked to settle in for a long winter’s nap and trust in the coming spring. There’s nothing to do and nowhere to go right now, Libra. So pour the hot chocolate and settle in by the fire.

Rallying Cry:
What could come to me if I truly believed I was lacking nothing?
Power Moves:
With Venus in super earthy Capricorn settling into your zone of perception and communication, this is a week to challenge the sense that you don’t already have what you need. Really feel into your treasure trove of resources and the sweet sensation of using what’s on hand. And pay attention to where you look up and out and away from yourself to “get” something that you think isn’t already here. This is a lifelong labor, especially for a sign who’s dedicated to working with pure, primal desire in all its shades. But simply know that there are other perspectives available to you right now. Start by looking around you and noticing what brings delight and fulfillment to those around you. This might not be your turn on, but it can offer you other keys for settling your sense of scrambling. Nothing gold can come out of desperation mode, Scorpio. Sit tight and commit to blessing your own deservedness.

Rallying Cry:
I am ready to begin from a place of untamable joy.
Power Moves:
Tis the season for you to feast fully, Sag. With Venus entering your house of solid gold and chocolate-covered roses, it’s the kind of celebration that your wild sense of excess is absolutely built for. You’ve certainly been through it, babe. And now is the week to reap your rewards and power up for the journey ahead. Strip it down to the core of the most supple sensations. Treat it like a lotion week and simply walk away from anything that doesn’t feel easy glide. There’s a pro figure skating energy available to you right now and the ice is clean. But there’s nothing dramatic you have to do at the moment and you can start leaping and twirling exactly when you’re ready. For now, just enjoy the feeling of fresh-cut ice and the sparkly stars you’re about to dance beneath.
