Sagittarius Horoscope for December 2013

This is the month you have been waiting for, Sagittarius, one of unexpectedly enhanced creativity and greater spiritual grounding that runs all the way through you from your toes up to your head. As this monthly cycle unfolds, you are linking play and work in a meaningful way that enhances both. After assiduously dealing, over a period of months, with the parts within yourself that were wounded in the distant past, you are being given another chance to work your issues from a new angle. This is so, as long as you are willing to witness your behavior from a dispassionate position, while staying as open as you can to non-judgmental acceptance of everything that continues happening to you. When you allow yourself to let go of what no longer serves you, it turns out to be the most magical of seasons.

As an overview for the entire month, it is of interest that the ruler of your sign, namely Jupiter, is highlighted this month in your sector of personal evolution. You are likely to be going through a real focus on the exploration of your depths as you reach for intimacy with yourself and others, forming the basis for entering into a new stage of the arc of development that you have been on all year long. On the first full weekend of the month, Mars enters Libra, and all the planets will be placed within the 180 degrees of the Zodiac between Libra and Aries, except for one; your ruler.

Jupiter also participates in a strong trine with Saturn, representing restriction and focus, and highlighted especially during the first two weeks of December, when the difficulties of the First Quarter Moon — after the first week — are balanced by a grand trine that forms between Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon. Somewhat paradoxically, this sense of constraint and limitation affords you with in some ways the very best channel for making progress, as you concentrate on getting your ducks in a row heading into the New Year. Just as poetry is improved by the limitation of imposed form, your own creativity needs the focus of Saturn to be at its most productive.

It is also interesting to note that Uranus is standing almost completely still in the sky in December, occupying the same ? degree of the Zodiac all the way through the entire month, and thus is more powerful. In the case of your solar chart, Uranus is located in your self-expression sector, symbolizing new realizations and greater focus for that area of your life, and remains in square with transformatively oriented Pluto in your sector of resources and values. You are likely to be seeing the financial aspects of your life taking a new turning over the course of this monthly cycle, including your attitude toward them. This attitude shift might equally apply to the way that the material aspects of your life in general operate for you and enable what you do to move forward with your life in important ways. You are seeing both the beauty of what you have and how it is working for you, and perhaps also making adjustments to the way that you regard possessions and finances.

With Uranus standing still and strongly aspecting Chiron, the Wounded Healer, residing in an important area of your chart, what is also emphasized this month is your fourth solar sector of home, family and tribe. As is certainly entirely appropriate for this time of the year, you are dealing with issues raised by family connections of all kinds, including looking more closely into the deeper places within you that have become stuck and dysfunctional and in need of airing out. These can be conceived as the residue of early trauma, unaddressed, and greatly benefit from attention, just as children do. While in the past it was a good strategy to keep painful feelings away from your conscious awareness, the time has now come t more closely examine the places where you were wounded in the past with the goal of better understanding the reasons for their becoming originally walled off from consciousness, and for the acceptance of their presence within your psyche.
