The full moon could thrust a sudden switch. You could find yourself full of great ideas or solutions, or find that a relationship or financial circumstance suddenly jumps to the next level. Your intuition is likely to be a ready dial - act or speak up when the impulse strikes. Still, stay cautious in speculative financial matters/ventures. Considering the Dec 1 full moon occurs in dualistic Gemini, things could go either way. Mars in Leo is a wonderful revitalizing influence for body, mind and soul. Note that your pheromones are likely to be particularly ignited now too. Mars in retrograde, Dec 20 through Mar 10 can set the kettle to boil for that which is going to become a central feature of your life as the year ahead unfolds. Mid month forward, your attention is likely to become very pinpointed and focused. It can be all or nothing time. Mercury's retrograde tour can take you back to the drawing board. You may revisit difficult subjects or circumstances, or be forced to put better boundaries in place/stand your ground with a work colleague, boss, competitor, friend, or sibling. Labor issues, a strike, or a reoccurrence of health issue could challenge you too. Old or outworn equipment, vehicles, policies, procedures or strategies are likely to need an overhaul or upgrade. Stay alert for potential headaches and you could sidestep or minimize them. Christmas Day, the moon in Aries can make for a fun and upbeat day. Keep it low key as best you can for New Year's Eve.

Virgos born around September 3 will feel the fullest effects of the Dec 1 full moon in dualistic Gemini. If it feels familiar or like a repeat, you are cluing into the moment's karmic significance. The now can be a time of maximum polarization between personal/internal and external authority, needs, or agendas. One thing leads to another, one thing hinges on another too; start of the month can be a time of compounding issues or multiplying complexities. You may not have all the answers, nor have you gotten the full story or straight story down yet. Uranus's extra voltage influence can catapult you out a stalemate or stagnant cycle. For some, the Dec 1 full moon can be especially productive, generating, and rewarding. Consider it as your "go-signal" time. The triple alignment of Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune is one that pieces together synchronistic circumstances in order to help you to liberate yourself from toxic situations, thinking patterns, unhealthy habits, and self un-doings. Mars retrograde can be a personal strengthening and refortifying influence. It should help you to better align with what is best for you. Mars retrograde can deliver an exceptionally creative or healing time. Keep Christmas Day as unfettered as you can. Home, with family, or cozied up with a special someone is best for New Year's Eve.

This month could start with important news, opportunity, an arrival of significance, a special event, or milestone. Matters to do with your social life, the holiday, travel, transportation, publishing, sales, advertising, schooling, official paperwork, legal matters, negotiations, agreements, adoption, etc. come under the range of possible "got your hands-full". The full moon Dec 1 can be an important time to reconvene talks, tackle stage 2, or to re-establish open lines of communication with a particular individual. The triple alignment of Jupiter, Chiron, and Uranus continues to favor your personal reinvention and your love life too. Mars can keep you and your social life busier than usual, but once retrograde begins (Dec 20), it will be time to pull back from the over-activity. Mercury's retrograde cycle, Dec 26 - Jan 15 can challenge you with added family responsibilities, home complications or repair work at home. Christmas day should prove to be upbeat and a smooth sail. The lunar eclipse Dec 31 puts the spotlight on boundary issues, professional goals, and long-term security concerns. For the evening, let someone else cook it up.

This first week of the month can be a dynamic moving ahead time. The full moon (in Gemini) on Dec 1 is particularly intensified for Nov 3 and Nov 16 birthday folk (and dates thereabouts.) It is a time when you may see your "ship come in" and when you can enjoy the (bonus) dividends of your emotional, financial, or professional investments. You may be in a position to call the shots, write your own ticket, etc, or to repeat a past success, catch a second wave, etc. The second go ‘round could prove to be even stronger/better than the first. Then again the full moon could deliver a "should I/shouldn't I" dilemma or find a relationship conflict resurface. You could need to repeat your position, give the instructions or delegate again, you may have to retrace steps, rely on plan B or a backup option. This month's triple alignment influence (Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune) can find you savoring/appreciating the clan get-togethers more than ever. Mars retrograde, Dec 20 - Mar 10, is a time to relieve yourself of added pressure, to be more selective re your battles, and to strip your efforts down to what and who is of top priority. The first few months of 2010 can be a gestational time for a particular project or ambition. Mercury retrograde can put you back in touch in key and essential ways. Perhaps there is some business to discuss with a friend, sibling or colleague, or some personal unfinished business to sort out with someone in particular. It can be a time to resume training programs, writing projects, important business negotiations and such. Mercury retrograde can also bring transportation, paperwork, legal challenges, or location quandaries. Health matters may need closer attention too. Let friends and family take care of you on Dec. 25. Dec 31 get out, get away or make it a romantic bells and whistles night.

The full moon Dec 1 can see you surpass an important hurdle or dilemma (personal or relationship wise.) It can be one of things clicking into place, of snap discoveries or of stumbling upon long sought after solutions. A promise or expectation could be on the table for discussion too. An important or official talk, negotiation, agreement, piece of news, paper, contract, a legal matter, official stand, paper trail, or contract could consume your attention too. In perfect alignment for the time of year, the triple alignment of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in social and upbeat Aquarius should put you in good holiday spirits. In whatever way you identify them, time with your family circle is your best gift of the season. Mars retrograde can shift your focus away from your outer world ambitions and draw you back to quality over quantity living. Life is about how you do it (your presence, your intention, your response) not what you do (to earn a living, etc.) Watch for new perspectives, inspirations, creative ideas, opportunities and people to keep you stoked. On a temporary note, Mercury retrograde can call for further belt tightening/sees a resurgence of financial challenges. It can be a hold-up or holding back cycle. Year's end is also a time to re-evaluate your commitments and your relationships, and to revise both your short-term and long-term goals.

The wisdom journey of the Saturn/Pluto square is helping you to come to terms with yourself and your life in profound and productive ways. Of course, that is not mean to suggest that you have arrived at your endpoint (indeed the cycle is just starting), but that you are now on the right track. Having come to a certain point of inner reconciliation, you can now more willingly accept and align with what must be and what can be too. It is all part of a larger process - call it the consciousness of evolution. The full moon, Dec 1 puts the spotlight on work (work contracts, employee/employer or coworker relationships, goods and services) and health issues. This month's triple alignment peak (Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune) is set to take you to the next important stage of your ongoing self-discovery and reinvention program (physical, material, situational). While Mars is retrograde (Dec 20 - Mar 10), your relationship and financial priorities will shift away from their recent focal point. It can be a time for trial runs, interim measures, stage setting, testing deeper waters or working out the kinks. Mercury's retrograde tour is a time to review, readdress, reconvene, or refresh. While you may be heading in a new direction, Mercury retrograde (Dec 26 - Jan 15) can pull you back or keep you tethered for just a little longer. The lunar eclipse on Dec 31 again draws attention to tightening up the ship, to endings and beginnings, and intimates the karmic nature of your present circumstances.

Feel it out, put it out there, scout around, get around, or send it off. The synchronistic and informing full moon Dec 1 could prove to be an opportune piecing it together or "get you going" catalyst. Think bigger and think beyond the here and now - where you are headed is most definitely future bound. You could tie up a couple of important matters all at once. It may be time to streamline, to put all your eggs in the same basket, or to put toothbrushes together. Then again, it could be a time to cut yourself loose. Give yourself extra latitude, branch out more, double up, or tell two friends and let the news travel faster. If the writing is on the wall, admit it. Even if the information or exchange is initially confronting, know that ultimately, it serves to unlock the right door. The month could start with good news, or a noteworthy event, a social exchange, important talk or negotiation. Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune set a wonderful stage and fire up all the momentum you could ask for. Dec 6 - 8 can move you past a significant hurdle (pressure, doubt, delays, uncertainty, restrictions, added responsibilities, loss, etc.) Stay ambitious and get as much handled as you can before Mars turns retrograde (Dec 20.) After this point, it will time to forget your outer life double spin and to seek more quality time to enjoy the true gifts of the holidays. Mercury retrograde (Dec 26 - Jan 15) can put you back in touch with people you have not see or heard from for a long time. The lunar eclipse of Dec 31 puts an added spotlight on health and work related matters. Something could be in a brewing stage, do not ignore hints or inklings. Think safety first. This eclipse (along with Mercury retrograde) could weaken your resolve, chip away at your security (emotional, material, health, faith in another), cause you to second-guess your plans or decisions, or find you doubting another. Play it safe New Year's Eve.

Getting them to listen is one thing, getting everyone on the same page could be the other. Travel, added business volumes or worries, schedule, or transportation problems, shuffling the kids between two households, added responsibilities and pressures, etc. - you could be doing double time as full moon energizes on Dec 1. This could be a "kettle's boiling" time too. Resentments or subtle digs can build; know that an argument or disagreement could easily blow out of proportion. The full moon could also bring important news, a decision to make, a visitor, or a next stage to implement. To some extent, pressure, burdens, or uncertainty can lift past Dec 8, but for the most of the month, you may not feel much of a let up. Once Mars goes retrograde, you may need work a little harder to keep up your good momentum or to make that good thing better yet. Put extra attention toward your health and your daily get-go. Mercury's retrograde cycle (Dec 26 - Jan 15) can be a good time to review financial strategies, to redo your will or other official paperwork, or to reassess your career ambitions. It can be time to put better boundaries in place or to resume a project or ambition that has been relegated to a backburner. As is common of Mercury retrograde, you are likely to reconnect with former friends and business associates, colleagues, etc. New Year's eve, a family gathering, house party or cozy romantic evening can deliver the goods quite nicely.
