Aries Horoscope for December 2014

This is an intensely transformational month that you are faced with, Aries, representing a danger that is also opportunity. You have reached in some sense the end of your rope, and the ultimate result might be to give up and recognize that as a door closes another opens. You are getting the idea, from way down in the depths of your soul, for what you actually aspire to. Things are becoming intolerable, thus continuing to alert your somewhat attentive awareness that the time has truly come when a radical departure is needed. This is therefore a chance to become clear about what, on the inside, you are actually all about. Once you make the changes that you contemplate there is no turning back; this is difficult and yet, in another way of seeing things, a total blessing.

As the month begins, you are feeling at ease with yourself and confident for your future, although recognizing at the same time that there are certain factors that must unequivocally change if that feeling of comfort is to remain with you for the longer haul. You are in an excellent position now to do something about what you sense that your inner guidance is telling you to do. In spite of any outside indications to the contrary or critical nay-saying coming from others, you are determined to find your own way forward, by the means that make sense to you and to no one else.

You are also responding, still, to the pleasures of the recent Sagittarius New Moon, from ten days before the beginning of December, that took place on that penultimate weekend of November in your higher mind sector. This continues to present to you many intuitive insights about who you are and where you are at, along with a powerful impulse for necessary change and the larger perspective to appreciate these in a spiritual or a philosophical way. The ninth solar sector of higher mind, wherein this New Moon was to be found, represents a yen for a broader field of vision than the surroundings that you typically inhabit, be it zest for travel or for teaching and learning experiences that will expand your metaphorical horizons. With one part of your being you unreservedly revel in this.

There is a very strong placement of fun-loving Jupiter in your sector of playful self-expression that supports this idea, while another and more conservative side is brought out by the powerful presence of Saturn in your sector of intimacy personal evolution. This symbolically enables you to see the drawbacks and apply caution to your approach. In the conference going on inside your head, over the course of an intense monthly cycle, although your fears might seem to hold you back, the ayes will eventually have the advantage. Recent developments have made clear the difficulties with staying stuck in the particular rut that you find yourself in, that therefore could be seen to outweigh the drawbacks of leaving outmoded behavior that you are yearning, at least in part, to get yourself out of. The necessity for change is therefore upon you.

This is symbolized in the current astrology by Uranus and Pluto in square alignment, a configuration that has been building for many months and that now, in mid-December, reaches an important milestone with their sixth of seven exact hits this decade. This constellates and makes a symbolic chime with your own desire for massive changes to take place in your life. Your intuition is blazing strong as well, for this entire two-week period from the 1st to the 15th, and leads you forward, in spite of everything inside you that attempts to hold you back.
