December Horoscopes

Sagittarius

November 22 to December 21
A far more determined Sagittarius emerges from this birthday season, as you enter a period of constructive action. The course you choose to follow this year may not always be easy but, overall, it should be a time of steady progress and increased cash flow. Summer looks to be a time of changes in relationships, though a much more conservative Pluto attempts to instil discipline to money matters. This could be a difficult transition for you, the zodiac's impulse buyer. But it's vital that you establish strong financial foundations and use your resources practically. Of course, you're bound to break a few rules along the way – especially this festive season. Family commitments still beckon, but you can balance both work and play. Look forward to much fun.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 19
Capricorns still cling to the work ethic while others are getting set for seasonal fun. But after the 22nd, you should allow yourself the same liberties. Even though you're coming to the party later than most, you gain in the attraction stakes as Venus puts together a killer new image. You're also less discriminating than usual. Fewer inhibitions can only mean a lot more fun.

Aquarius

January 20 to February 18
Relaxation is the key to an enjoyable month. The pressure's off and life feels more secure. Surrender the sterner stuff to the past year. If affections have been under lock and key, an amnesty's about to be declared as the festive season carries a vitality that puts loving parties back in touch. So expect a renewed openness with partners and family. Singles are delighted by unexpected invitations.

Pisces

February 19 to March 20
If you've been through a period of upheaval, this month brings more control over your direction. With you feeling increasingly ambitious, your goals are more easily attained. This confidence brings success. That said, take time to enjoy friendships. And you may as well surrender what's left of your finances to the silly season. Just aim for a financial game plan in January.

Aries

March 21 to April 20
The secret to a happy month lies in tackling necessary duties early on. So clear the decks and then relax. Here's your chance to let everyone know how much they mean to you. Even though you may join the party later than others, you should still be lucky in love. Month's end brings a time for sales and pampering. For now, you need only exert yourself in the pursuit of pleasure.

Taurus

April 21 to May 20
Hidden memories and past secrets may resurface in early December, and the tiniest drama could throw you off balance. Face the realities you've been trying to hide from and make any necessary changes to put your life back on course. If energy levels are low, take a break from phones and emails to recharge your batteries. Start working on your social life and make sure you grab all the cash on offer.

Gemini

May 21 to June 21
Geminis feel stifled in early December. But you've reached a turning point in your life and change is inevitable. You may prefer to stick with the devil you know, but be brave - you can cut your losses if necessary. The final week brings excitement. And what better time to cut the purse strings? Let loose with the cash, credit and common sense.

Cancer

June 22 to July 22
Feeling confused? Unsettled? Put a stop to those tears and emerge from your emotional wilderness. Face up to the fact that either you or your partner needs room to grow, while the other needs to be flexible. As for singles, you have to love yourself before anyone else can. Travel is likely after the 23rd, but the best news is the financial roller-coaster you've been riding is less hazardous towards the New Year.

Leo

July 23 to August 22
This past year has been a long, hard slog and you've been heavily burdened. When under such pressure, we often make mistakes. So, if you feel you've misplaced a certain magic, there may be something special waiting for you around the corner. The only hiccup is the financial aftermath of the season's extravagances. Not to worry. Let the New Year pick up the bill.

Virgo

August 23 to September 22
Everything needs a great finale, including a year like 2010. You've had some testy times, but you've resolved to grab a flourishing future. You've set off a chain reaction for success, which brings in extra cash early next year. For now, the cosmos invites you to celebrate. Don't dismiss travel and don't ignore romance. You've worked hard, now play hard.

Libra

September 23 to October 22
Kick off your shoes and let the events of this past year disappear into the void. You have every right to demand a break. It's been a traumatic time for you and Libran compassion has shown that it knows few bounds. Tears have flowed and prayers have been said. The bottom line: you've survived, and emerged stronger and wiser for it. So treat yourself to something luxurious.

Scorpio

October 23 to November 21
It's probably just a Mars thing, but money management could result in financial strife early this month. Don't struggle along or you'll end up falling deeper into debt. Things begin to look brighter after the 10th, when investments start to prosper. You’re also invited to celebrate the season. This is your reward, so don't dismiss romance or travel. Those more daring may enjoy a secret dalliance.
