NEW MOON in CAPRICORN
This Forecast in effect
December 27, 2008 to January 10/11, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
Which would you rather be? The head of a
corporation or the facilitator of a spiritual group? The planner and
executive of a developing system, or a visionary who foretells a potential
future? Someone who must rein in your impulses with strong self-control
(making you much more productive), or someone whose connection to other
people is spontaneous and inspired but also be a bit detached (allowing you
to help more people than if you focused on just one person)? Surprise! You
are called upon to be all of these things for the next 4 weeks.
Your biggest challenge could be about finding a
balance between being idealistic (wishing for a perfect world in which
everyone pulls in the same positive direction) versus being practical
(wishing for a predictable, ordered, reliable world). It might seem easier
to achieve the predictable part, but this can become like an enclosed garden
where nothing new grows. It is just as important to reach out toward a sense
of vision and ideals, which might seem impractical but is the one thing that
could open up that garden and sow some new seeds for future harvest.
By early January, you might feel a shift whereby
it's easier to envision a new future that breaks free of the demands and
limitations of expectations you have held in the past. In order to do that,
you will need to get a stronger sense of the big picture—not simply the
context in which events in your life are happening, but an even greater
context of what is possible. If your life has been feeling heavy, painful or
flat, allow yourself to imagine the positive implications or unexpected
benefits that could emerge from that.
If your life has been filled with hard work,
achievement and building a solid foundation, let yourself graduate into a
state of mind that can soar free above the structure, methodology, formulae
and rules that have sustained you until now. It may be time to leave the
lesson behind in order for the learning to become absorbed and carried
beyond the "classroom." A
personal
astrology reading can give you a clearer understanding of how you are
being called to do this in your own life.

FULL MOON in CANCER
This Forecast in effect
January 10 to 26, 2009
The Lunar Forecasts give Daily Horoscopes a greater context.
You might feel a bit emotional right now, since
your feelings, needs and unconscious urges are probably lurking closer to
the surface than usual. This can greatly enrich your feeling and intuitive
nature, but it might be necessary to temper these feelings with being
grounded, realistic and responsible. If you are feeling emotionally
overwhelmed or a bit too sensitive, it may help to find a person, group,
activity or place that can give you some extra support. Your family might be
a source of that support, or they might be the reason you need extra
support. Either way, check inside to see if what you're feeling has roots in
your family experience. Perhaps you are missing the love and nurturing you
once received from them. Or, maybe you have always felt a gap between what
you needed and what you received from your family, and that gap now feels
like an empty hole inside of you. Or, you might just be reminiscing about
the past and missing what was or what might have been.
The point here is not to dwell in the past or to
focus on what you lack. Rather, this is an opportunity to learn more about
what makes you tick emotionally—what your deepest needs are, where they come
from and how they shape you into the unique individual that you are. To
accomplish this, the Universe is likely to shake you up a bit right now. The
idea is not to withhold satisfaction or tranquility because of some karmic
punishment or cosmic game, but to keep you moving along your path of
personal growth toward greater awareness. Circumstances might seem to shift
back and forth a bit right now. This gives you the chance to discover and
get to know the subtle middle ground between the extremes of perfectionism
and idealism, between the subjective and the objective, and between the
conventional and the unconventional. In between them all lies a treasure for
you to discover.
Your exploration of these issues will continue
until well into February. Don't be discouraged if what you thought to be
true about something or someone turns out to be different than you expected.
It probably means you're viewing your situation with an open mind, which
means you're capable of learning something new. If your new perspective is
troubling or upsetting, get some extra support from someone who can help you
make sense of it. (A personal astrology
reading is an excellent source of support.) If you're frustrated
because you feel like you're mentally or emotionally tripping over your
feet, then slow down, take some time out for quiet reflection, and above
all, be gentle and compassionate with yourself.
