MAY 2011 HOROSCOPES

Taurus

Happy Birthday Bulls!  You are powerful and successful and are accustomed to others telling you so.  Tauruses work hard and both deserve and reap the rewards of their labor.  A planner in general, now is the time to map out the course for the next year.  Interpersonally, you can be a real pain in the ass.  Stubborn and at times irrational, Bulls are notoriously difficult, but you make up for it with generosity. This month the heavens align in a way that’s favorable for relationships.  Don’t squander all the planetary good will with a tendency for needing to get in the last word.

Gemini

May looks mad hectic with both fun and obligations Gemini.  To survive all the demands, make sleep a priority.  When tired and hungry you are down right bitchy, so take care of yourself or others will find you utterly intolerable. Be mindful of your belongings while traveling, and try to make it a relaxing trip.

Cancer

Crabs can expect a trifecta of good fortune at work, and with family and friends this month.  Look forward to fun and romance; your dance card will be full.  Prepare some cute outfits now.  In addition to extracurricular fun, this will also be an important month for networking.  Smart Crabs seize May’s opportunities and exploit them for the greatest all-around gain.  Remember the big picture.

Leo

While out and about this month, distracted Leos lose stuff – like a phone, wallet, ring or keys, so mind your belongings or prepare for the hassle that comes with misplacing any of the above.  If you fail to heed this advice and experience loss, take extra care in replacing the item.  The good news is that the planets align for a windfall this month in the form of an award, prize, or trip.  Luck favors Leos, but you’ll need more than good fortune to face tough workplace competition.

Virgo

May presents challenges for Virgos.  Someone you trust is trying to manipulate and mislead you surrounding a new opportunity.  The moral and ethical strength of the Virgo makes them vulnerable to over-trusting.  A good rule for you – assume everyone will try to fuck you over and operate from that place.  Trust, but verify.  Don’t let anyone pressure you when making financial decisions in May.  Changes in the home front make for even greater community involvement and neighborly introductions.

Libra

Financially Libras benefit in May, particularly mid-month when previous industriousness pays off.  Beyond money, May presents a few obstacles.  Without a doubt, avoid travel or legal dealings in the third and fourth weeks.  Libras prefer everyone to be happy, and you’ve sacrificed quite a bit lately to make that happen.  A treat is coming your way to make up for all your compromise.

Scorpio

The words positivity and Scorpio don’t always go together, but this May Scorpios shine.  Scorpios can be self-indulgent in some ways, but down right restrictive in others.  Up the ante this month by investing in yourself; the dress, the trip, a new haircut, teeth whitening, find the spark that will take you from an 8 to 10.  Planetary alignment turns up the Scorpio charm and dulls Scorpio’s pricklier traits. This month you’ll be unusually upbeat and glowy which of course bodes well for romance and work.  All those interpersonal quirks that hold you back vanish this month.  Take advantage.

Sagittarius

Sagittarians sail a sea of tranquility this May.  A rosy disposition and pleasing personality make for harmonious relationships, easy workplace interaction, and chill family times.  Even though you ain’t one to gossip, keep your ears open for some intel that could be valuable later.  Float around like your charming self, flirt, have fun, and enjoy a beautiful month.

Capricorn

Capricorns get to lighten up in May.  Get outside this month with family and friends and shake off winter.  All the excitement towards the end of the month can get really distracting.  This can result in clumsy accidents, so be mindful of letting your feet get in front of your head.  Hold major meetings or projects off until June if possible.  Start now and things could get messy.  Even though you aren’t the recipient this time, share in the glow of good news received by friends and family.

Aquarius

Aquarian energy is best spent on career this month.  Make sure those in power see what you can do and it will advance your career.  This could be a big move for you if you play it right; not just a job promotion, but an elevation of lifestyle and prestige.  The atmosphere is ripe for misplacing valuables or carelessly supplying thief with opportunity, so mind your shit.  Romance looks favorable, but it ain’t the main event in May.

Pisces

Fishies swim with the current and experience a mellow May.  A favorable time for travel and socializing, throw a weekend trip together with friends.  Already expressive, Pisces feel almost a compulsive need to communicate this month.  This propensity only creates problems when you blurt without thinking first.  Take a deep breath and articulate thoughts clearly to avoid hurt feelings.  Remember, when it comes to chatter, less is always more.

Aries

Aries seriously deserve a break.  Always on the go, the past few weeks haven been extra hectic.  May provides an opportunity to focus energy on a few deserving relationships.  Instead of giving a lot of people a little love, give a lot of love to a select few.  The pocketbook looks full the last half of the month, so enjoy the added sense of security.

APRIL 2011 HOROSCOPES

Aries

Happy Birthday Fiery Bitches!  In astrological terms, Aries comes first, and that’s just the way you like it.  Super fun, superfly, and irrepressible, Aries are en fuego.  Even though the last few years have been a struggle, Aries maintains momentum.  Perhaps professionally things haven’t progressed ideally.  All that will change this year if you take the time to cultivate balance.  Aries feels super-charged this April.  Rein the energy in or suffer the consequences – stupid embarrassing ones too – public stumbles, idiotic fender benders, and pride-wounding chokes.  Get plenty of sleep, take care with relationships, and for fuck’s sake, think before you speak.

Taurus

Typically Taurus has it all together, but this month you’ll feel pulled in a million directions.  The way you cope with all this hectic energy will dictate whether things getter better or escalate.  Taurus vent frustration and anxiety on loved ones.  Needling the significant other won’t ease stress, and tussling with the in-laws will only make things worse.  Channel that negative energy towards a more constructive activity – like an Easter egg hunt!  Keep an eye on finances and stick with your budget in April.

Gemini

Here’s the bad news for tax season, April is not a good month for Gemini and numbers.  Strongly consider hiring a professional or get someone to double check any fiscal matters.  Friendships get tested when heads butt.  You may have to agree to disagree this time.  April skews romantic mojo, so now’s not the time to trust your instincts.  Have a friend cosign before moving forward, especially after three or more cocktails.

Cancer

April brings a tremendous amount of freedom and stress.  The wide open future awaits; seize it by the balls.  Interoffice politics play a big role in generating conflict this month.  On the upside, Cancers find true comfort in family and a peaceful home.  Both these gifts are yours this April.  When it comes to finances, please balance optimism with reality.  The full moon makes a great back drop for a party.  Consider hosting.

Leo

Miscommunication frustrates Leos and causes conflicts with friends, lovers and coworkers this April.  With a little patience and kindness on your part, these little squirmishes will take care of themselves.  Take extra caution with internet banking and transactions.  Keep important documents organized.  Leos stills shine this month, especially in the career sector – great time to leverage for a raise or promotion.

Virgo

Virgos need a luxurious day just for themselves this month.  Invigorate with spa treatments, delicious food, and long naps.  Whatever the pleasure, indulge for an afternoon.  Financially, unexpected shenanigans make it ultra-important to check the credit report.  The entire household needs to know what’s going on with money.  Keep them informed and they will step up.  Ethical beyond reproach, Virgos forget not everyone rolls that way.  Trust, but verify.

Libra

That new relationship you’ve been toying with?  April will make it or break it.  Libras usually have the subtle upper hand in relationships, so ultimately the decision will be yours whether to invest in or ditch the prospect.  Around the 18th, plan a get together and by the end of the evening the decision will be obvious.  Either way, anticipate a rocky aftermath.

Scorpio

Unclench your fist Scorpio.  Those little work bitches stir up weird energy this month.  Preserve calm dignity and reap the rewards later in May.  Even with obstacles, Scorpio’s high productivity results in accomplishment.  The love life looks really good this month for the committed and single, so take a few opportunities to get your Scorpio swagger on.

Sagittarius

Unfortunately, March’s drama seeps into April, but don’t fret Sagittarians.  These things have a funny way of working themselves out.  Concentrate on enjoying family and friends through a creative activity.  Unexpected expenses pop up later this month.  Don’t get caught off-guard.  Set aside some extra dough now and save yourself the stressful last minute scramble.

Capricorn

Hating home life right now?  You’ve heard that cliché about making your bed and sleeping in it right?  Tension permeates work relationships as well.  As usual, the battles boil down to ego.  Caps, consider whether hubris limits your ability to genuinely connect with others.  Smarties bypass drama with a humble approach, creating a safe space for creative exchange.

Aquarius

Spring travel plans go awry this month; even the car may experience issues.  Aquarians experience foggy communication like many other signs this month, though misunderstandings should clear up before the last week of April.  Aquarians get pissed at space-invading family and neighbors.  Establish and enforce boundaries.  On the bright side?  Cash fills the pocketbook.

Pisces

A side opportunity for some extra cash gives Pisces a long-needed financial break.  The added monetary cushion gives you a chance to relax and finally feel comfortable.  Especially charming and charismatic this month, take advantage of this moment and go after what you want.  Your chances of success are particularly high now.  Things also flow nicely on the relationship front thanks to April’s added magnetism.

KB’s Special 29th Birthday Horoscope

Good Morning Muffin.  Happy Birthday.  Since you check in first thing, here is a special horoscope to start your day off right.  Interplay between Mars and Neptune conjure the type of power you need to see things through.  No stranger to achievement and the hard work it requires, colleagues and students truly respect your mastery and understanding.  Creative expression produces pleasing results.  Always thick with friends, expect much jubilation today in your honor.  Sop up all the well-wishing and rub it on like cold cream.  Today’s the day to glow.  As for romantic interests, for you honesty is everything.  Navigate accordingly.  Today especially, emotions color judgment.

MARCH 2011 HOROSCOPE

Pisces Elizabeth Taylor – 27 February 1932

Hey there little birthday fishies.  Half the time you go with the flow; the other half you struggle against the current trying to make your way upstream.  Expect an extra dose of clumsy thanks to planetary fuckery.   Leave yourself enough time and pay attention.  Crutches really strip the swagger and ruin an outfit.  Especially enticing around the 18-19th, don’t waste your amped allure, Pisces.  Trade on the currency and let your admirers pay for the fun this month.  Wasting money ain’t an option this March.

Aries Joan Crawford – 23 March 1905

After a run of good luck Aries, sorry to say you are super fucked this month.  Blame Mercury in retrograde.  Mistakes, confusion, computer crash, accidents – you can’t stop the chaos, but try to remain supple in response.  Not all bad news this March, opportunities with long-reaching future benefits (or consequences) surface.  Best to focus efforts on friendships for the next few weeks.  Set up a few dates now, because later this month work will be miserable and tense.

TaurusKatharine Hepburn – 12 May 1907

Taurus glows this month, shining socially and professionally.  New connections and inspiring people enter the mix.  Cultivate old and new friendships; the soil is rich with all the right makings for meaningful affiliations.  Love and romance too blooms and thrives now.  The moon and planets align for Taurus this month, so take advantage and wake from the winter hibernation.

GeminiNatalie Portman – 9 June 1981

All the energy swirls around career this month for you Gemini.  A certain work project leads you down an interesting and unexpected path.  Intelligence has never been the problem; it is a lack of patience that delays your personal and professional advancement.  Invest in your career by attending trips, continuing education, or networking seminars.  Spend dough only on endeavors that pay career dividends this month – i.e. social events with a career-enhancing angle.

CancerMeryl Streep – 22 June 1949

Work has finally hit the shitter.  Save your ass by keeping a paper trail.  All the stress has got you fleeing for warmer waters.  Try checking out a new place for a quick getaway.  Communication flows and Crabs get their message across clearly now.  Don’t worry about money so much; a flux of income – maybe not yours, but at least in family – is headed your way.  Therefore, set your financial anxiety aside and think about this new career phase.

LeoAngela Bassett – 16 August 1958

Stick close to home Leos; delays, cancellations and lost luggage are on the cards for you this month.  Brace for mechanical problems with vehicles and appliances.  Set aside a safety net for repairs.  Planetary alignment creates an atmosphere ripe for learning over the next eight years.  Consider investing in new education or specialized training.  Leos are accustomed to attention, but this month folks will be especially receptive to your ideas.

VirgoIngrid Bergman – 29 August 1915

Like some of your astrological cousins, March brings chaos for you too Virgo, but this time in the form of financial mistakes.  Avoid any messiness: review statements carefully and pay bills timely.  After a rough patch personally, circumstances change and significant improvements are to your credit in the relationship realm.  Now is an excellent time to revamp your tired-ass look.  Finally things ease at work and cash-flow increases, perhaps in the form of a recognition, raise, bonus or gift.  Verify the veracity of gossip before passing it on.

Libra Susan Sarandon – 4 October 1946

Invest in some new bedding and loungewear.  March aspires to sleeping-in, relaxation, and brunch.  Take it easy, and this should be a great month for you.  Throughout the coming year, friendships will face a series of challenges.  Some amis prove their worth and others fall by the wayside.  Over the next two months in particular, focus attention on a relationship decision, but apply caution before acting.  Professionally, expect long-awaited news.

Scorpio Whoopi Goldberg – 13 November 1955

After a relatively peaceful stretch, conflict pops up again this month.  Trying to tell a Scorpio to avoid discord is like telling a fish to avoid water, but restrain from taking sides.  Domestic bliss comprised of lazy evenings and easy weekends dapple March.  Freshen the nest, clean, rearrange, and redecorate.  Friendships and romantic associations fill out the month; anticipate a few interesting new acquaintances.  Professionally, quick decisions precipitate rapid change.

SagittariusMo’Nique – 11 December 1967

March is all about competing values.  Friendships, romance, money, career, and self all struggle for attention this month.  Consciously choose where to spend your time and effort. As you may have noticed, the scattershot approach isn’t very effective.  One suggestion: turn on that Sag charm and play Betty Crocker.  Even though your words are all wit and woo, clarify thoughts before speaking, avoid assumptions, and give others the benefit of the doubt.

Capricorn  Luise Rainer – 12 January 1910

March finds Caps balancing a number of serious responsibilities.  Since juggling isn’t really your thing, the stress of it causes you to lash out.  We always hurt the ones we love and shit, right?  Always good with the pesos, the finances look stable, even though that bonus fell short of your prediction.  Purchase household items the first week of the month for value.  Shopping the last week of the month spells rip-off.

Aquarius Geena Davis – 21 January 1957

This is an interesting March for you Aquarius.  First off, surprises are on the horizon.  An extra dose of intriguing charisma increases your attraction and power.  At the very end of the month, close relationships suffer upset.  Turn the compassion way up.  Financially, now is the time to budget for the rest of the coming year.  This month, take extra care behind the wheel – no tailgating.

Tuesday’s Tarot

After a string of fiery Tuesdays, the Cups come along and douse all that heat.  Associated with water and the signs Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer, the suit of Cups brings creativity, femininity, and depth.  This suit oversees the moon, tides, fertility, and home.  Cups hold our collective memories, emotions, and artistic expression.  Ultimately, the chalice symbolizes our heart.

Ready for a breakthrough?  The Ace of Cups allows you to tap into primal consciousness and spirituality.  This card is about intuition, feeling, and attunement.  Set the cerebral aside and feel.  For those of you cringing at the notion, keep in mind that we tend to overprize intellectualism and discount the value of the inner-voice.  When you quiet yourself and listen, ask yourself how often that voice is wrong?

FEBRUARY 2011 HOROSCOPES

AquariusAubrey O’Day (February 11, 1984)

In the soda fountain of life, Aquarius provides the bubbly carbonation.  Likable, easy-going, but still reliable, Aquarius make great friends.  However, the propensity towards adventure, travel, and moving on-to-the-next makes for a complicated love life.  Vacation sex was made for this sign, as was the cliché, “easy come, easy go.” Just remember the same cannot be said about the herp, so don’t be an airhead.  When patience seems in short supply this month, forgive short-comings with magnanimity.

PiscesDina Manzo (March 7, 1971)

Pisces, always trying to adapt and accommodate, sometimes even without an awareness to the sacrifice.  Feminine and negative in nature, it is your very mutability that attracts some and frustrates others.  It also tends to make you awesome in bed.  One of those fringe friends lurking about might be ready to step up to the plate.  Prepare a game-changing outfit for Valentine’s Day.

Aries   Jeff Lewis (March 24, 1970)

Attention-loving Aries start (and often finish) the party.  The spark that ignites the fun fire, no gathering is truly worthwhile without you.  February isn’t the best month to get slizzard.  Now is the time to turn inward and decide for sure what you want.  A task master at heart, getting your priorities in line will set the course for the immediate future.  With a plan in place, anxiety subsides.

TaurusTabatha Coffey (May 17, 1969)

House guests may be on the horizon for Taurus as this is a fabulous time for hosting.  Avoid serious home-improvement projects, or you’ll end up in a fit of frustration on the floor.  Try not to fixate on all the little annoyances that accompany visitors.  Call upon that famous Taurean patience to help you endure the irritations.  No visitors?  Look forward to a little of your favorite thing – hibernation.

GeminiFarrah Abraham (May 31, 1991)

Loosey goosey spending habits have you in the lurch this month.  Hopefully, you had the good sense to set aside a little safety net.  Money worries will have you seriously preoccupied, which could cause fallout in other areas of life left unattended.  You have a bad habit of learning life’s lessons the hard way.  Get off the carousel of mistakes.

CancerPauly D (July 5, 1980)

Moon-child Cancer, this month looks good for your bank account and bad for your genitals.  When romanticism takes over, you leap without a net, which often results in bitter disappointment.  Be careful about expecting reciprocation this early on; best to let yourself be the object of the chase this time.  Don’t even think of spending that extra dough.

LeoTiffani Faison (August 20, 1977)

The most likable person ever is a humble Leo.  Unfortch, the rarity of humility among Leos makes the combination of those two words a virtual oxymoron.  February brings the potential for a real Leo ego bath.  Resist the temptation to fill up the tub with your own self-satisfaction.  You’ll get out smelling like it, and trust me, it stinks.

VirgoCamille Grammer (September 2, 1968)

Avoid making contracts, leases, and long-term commitments this month.  The key word for February is maintain.  Keep the schedule mellow and leave room for unexpected fun.  Aflutter with the New Year, your charisma wins people over.  Enjoy the shine and don’t let your oversensitivity ruin it.

LibraAlex McCord (October 1, 1973)

After staring at the same four walls all winter, you are ready to spruce up your space.  February is the time for freshening your interiors, so think about clearing the way for new inspiration.  As a sign that recognizes and appreciates the importance of aesthetics, this should be a satisfying creative experience.  Apply self-discipline and clean first to avoid stirring up dust.

ScorpioEva Marcille (October 30, 1984)

No matter what the situation, you always have an opponent.  Why is that?  Do you realize that not everyone lives in a constant state of conflict?  Chill with the power plays this month and try to enjoy a little peace.  Interpersonal balance pays career dividends – nobody wants to work with a self-important asshole.

SagittariusNeNe Leakes (December 13, 1967)

Big thinkers, Sagittarians are typically well-traveled and well-educated.  The curse of this sign is the unrelenting itchy restlessness.  Friends keep you busy this month.  Make sure to select budget-conscious activities to avoid a financial pickle.  Back up your hard drive – literally and figuratively.

Capricorn Kyle Richards (January 11, 1969)

Venus influences the vibe this month and so you’ll be extra delectable to all those around you.  Expect several invitations.  That isn’t to say that other complications might not arise.  Unresolved issues swept under the rug in January come back to spoil the social sundae.  Cash flow is abundant this month, but your eye for detail, not so much.  Get a second pair of eyes to review any important documents before signing.

JANUARY 2011 HOROSCOPES

Capricorn

Some mistake your decisive confidence as dismissive, but Capricorns know what they want and aren’t waiting for anyone’s permission.  This uncompromising approach tends to alienate friends, family, and potential love interests.  Nobody’s asking you to change, and you won’t anyway.  Sailing on the Sea of Independence this year, Captain Cap unapologetically steers the ship where he or she sees fit.

Aquarius

A flurry of communication will have you checking your inbox and calendar this month.  Get selective regarding how you spend your time.  Rest is essential to protect your vulnerable immune system.  Aquarian aloofness can be off-putting, so go out of your way to bring warmth to important social interactions.

Pisces

This is the year that you must deal with all your relationship baggage.  Family and friends aren’t the issue.  Look inward and do the work, because January looks favorable for romance.  Financially, the free ride is over.  Yeah, you’re thinking, what free ride?  In four months you’ll be wishing you had it as good as you do now – recognize.

Aries

Prepare to professionally pimp your way through the first third of 2011.  Aries deserve recognition after putting in major heart through a tiring 2010.  Interpersonally, a quick fuse + a serious patience shortage = a strong likelihood that your current relationship could end if you don’t put in extra effort to resolve conflict.  Little annoyances can simmer over; don’t leave the stove unattended.

Taurus

Unresolved health issues continue to remain central, but these challenges provide loved ones the opportunity to show their devotion.  Reliable, stoic, and generous Taurus, always giving, giving, giving; now is the time to receive.  You must learn to relax and practice self-care to flourish.  Cozy down and allow others to nourish you.

Gemini

Jealous haters are out to dim your shine.  Gross.  Unless you let them goad you into some petty bullshit, the whole situation will be more personally disappointing than financially devastating.  This month’s back and forth centers on discontent in your romantic relationship.  Get grateful or get out.  Save yourself and everyone else the tortuous indecision.  Slow your roll on any major purchases or investments.

Cancer

Book a vacation online, but stay the fuck off those internet dating sites.  Consider tapping into your creative or performance talents by entering a singing, art, or cooking competition.  This could also be a good time to hone a new skill.  Save your money the next four months, so you can make a job change this summer.

Leo

The light shines all over your ass this month giving you great glow.  Non-negotiable responsibilities ground an otherwise buoyant time.  The upside?  The increased workload will be profitable.  Go ahead and gamble.  An unexpected windfall could be headed your way, lucky fucking bastard.

Virgo

Mellow is the theme of the month.  Enjoy financial stability, and a consistent, if uneventful work life.  Anticipate no major conflict on the relationship front, and maybe even the possibility of a baby.  One caution, you are not detailed-oriented and sloppiness will result in harsh consequences.  No DIY accounting, investing, or legal decisions.

Libra

Clinginess is not chic, so tone it down with the over-attachment, especially calls and texts.  Fun gatherings perk up the rest of January and these events give you a chance to show off that pretty Libra face to the whole crowd.  Employ those disciplined financial planning skills to stretch through upcoming tight spots.

Scorpio

The stressful holidays have left you spent.  You must take care of yourself or you will definitely get sick this month.  Illness and fatigue compromise your ability to channel the creative energy necessary for you to reach your highest self.  Take everything you learned last year and apply it.

Sagittarius

Extreme behavior in the past has compromised your health and it will take the first two-thirds of 2011 to get back on track.  A recent career upgrade has you feeling generous.  Know the difference between a gift and a loan; this one won’t get paid back.  Your undeniable charm will help you form an important connection, possibly romantic.  Back up the hard drive; some technical problems may be on the horizon.

DECEMBER 2010 HOROSCOPE

Sagittarius

Feel a little panicky lately?  Mercury’s in retrograde for the next couple months.  Sucks the planets took a piss on your birthday, but this is your opportunity to get right before the end of the year.  Unfortch, mail, communication, and travel will be all fucked up this month, so don’t be surprised if your birthday gift gets lost in the mail.  Since you value freedom and independence above material things, you’ll get over it, right?  As painful as it might be, you must resolve any lingering 2010 issues.  It would be very unwise to drag any bullshit into the New Year.

Capricorn

Don’t get smug; the planets aren’t doing you any favors this month either.  Get ready for opportunities to either heroically rise to the occasion or choke and shit the bed.  Part of becoming the very best Capricorn you can be is coping with unexpected change in a graceful and magnanimous manner.  In case you are feeling a little insecure, rest assured you’ve got everything it takes to emerge with admiration.

Aquarius

You need to watch your ass at the office holiday party this year because December brings a strong likelihood for interpersonal work conflict.  That is if you don’t catch the flu and miss it all together.  Take special care of your gastro-intestinal track through the end of the year.  This could be a great month for new projects, and after the 7th an interesting time for romance.

Pisces

Lately, have you had to suck up a series of disappointments?  Things will definitely be looking up for you next year if you apply that laser-sharp intuition to your life.  The twelfth month brings career recognition.  Take to the bed for extra rest if the headaches flair up.  That friend you are planning to spend New Year’s with – solidify those plans.  He or she will bring you some much needed energy to close out 2010.

Aries

Good news!  A raise or an aced exam might be in your future before the end of the year.  You deserve it.  You bring a lot to the table intellectually, professionally, and socially.  All around, December should be pretty great for you.  Don’t gloat or forget to appreciate your good fortune.  Find a way to support those around you who are having a tougher time.

Taurus

Lay low in December and observe the chaos, pragmatic Taurus.  November brought quite a bit of interpersonal turmoil and the residual irritation remains.  Never big on fancy New Years plans, you will use the last weeks of the year to wisely plan for the beginning of 2011.  Keep in mind – travel this month could be stressful.

Gemini

Good job busting your ass this summer; you leveraged it to create some good will which resulted in some hard-won career advancement.  The fact that you perform better under stress is a double-edged sword.  Yes, you always manage to pull through, but at what cost to your mental health?  In December, let your partner shine.

Cancer

After a couple of spendy months, you recover financially in December.  You will enjoy a conflict-free stretch in your relationships (which bodes especially well for your holiday plans).  This is the best possible time to initiate a fitness routine.  You will have the extra energy required to see it through.  There is a good chance you could meet someone special around New Years.  Brace yourself for butterflies.

Leo

Delicate, complicated issues in your love life should mellow this month as long as you remain stable and level-headed in your dealings.  Do something really romantic to smooth things over.  Single Leos feel especially creative through the end of the year.  Despite the fatigue, try to workout.

Virgo

Virgos will find December less frustrating than the preceding months.  Financially things look good, but regardless, you’ll finish the year content.  After a pretty rocky year on the relationship front, the efforts you’ve made towards peace are paying off.  Enjoy intense intimacy this month.

Libra

Pending relationship problems get resolved this month, for better or worse.  Don’t stress school exams, but put extra effort into research.  Watch your salt intake.  Problems arise for you if you did not heed previous warnings to rein in spending.

Scorpio

December is all about money for Scorpio.  After a shaky year financially, all that hard work will start to pay off in December and the beginning of next year.  There is mad potential in your new pursuit.  Stay unwaveringly focused on what is important because your schedule is about to become super packed.
