This month’s horoscope by Anandi; “December arrives with its holidays, stirring our longing for warmth, healing and a sense of inner renewal.”
Mood of the Month
The most beautiful thing here on earth is to love and to be loved.”
– Wilhelm Busch
December arrives with its holidays and sacred Twelve Nights, from Christmas to Epiphany, with their longing for warmth, healing and a sense of inner renewal.
So let’s start…
The Full Moon in Gemini highlights the tension between the desire for more knowledge (Gemini) and the urge for deeper insight and meaning (Sagittarius).
In an age shaped by artificial intelligence, the line between real information and fake news is becoming increasingly blurred. What is true and what is not? Does the endless stream of information support our quest for understanding, or do the many impressions simply overwhelm our mind and cause confusion?
Neptune turns direct again, increasing our longing for transcendence and release. He opens the gates to the unseen world and is a symbol of inspiration and imagination, spirituality and extrasensory abilities. It’s time to use our finer senses – clairaudience, clairsentience and clairvoyance – to find our way through the Neptunian fog. His influence affects our soul and encourages greater compassion, charity and contemplation, but also causes chaos and confusion.
Mercury moves into Sagittarius and broadens our view. Our thinking takes on a spiritual, philosophical or social tone and focuses above all on positive things, and is interested primarily in truth and justice. Communication becomes more spontaneous and direct than during Mercury’s journey through Scorpio.
Mars enters Capricorn, sharpening ambition, concentration and enthusiasm for work. Tangible results are required; diligence, efficiency and strategic action are emphasised and move to the foreground.
The New Moon in Sagittarius encourages us to look beyond our mental horizons and try out new paths. Sagittarius stands for expansion and the development of consciousness and for a confident approach to life. No matter what happens, we are ready to look at what is going well and try to initiate positive changes when something is not.
The Sun shifts into Capricorn promoting a sense of reality. The focus is on the essentials – the motto is “less is more”. Disciplined work is highly valued; and correctness, methodology and sense of duty gain importance.
On Christmas Eve, Venus enters Capricorn. She strives to put relationships on a reliable, healthy footing. Her soft, sensual and playful qualities take on a more serious tone. Loyalty, responsibility and reliability become more important in relationships. Thus, this exciting year comes to a rather calm and thoughtful end.
Wishing you a happy New Year!
The more a person goes deeper into himself, the more mature he is. When he has reached to the very centre of his being, he is perfectly mature. But at that moment the person disappears, only a presence remains, only silence remains. The knowledge disappears, only innocence remains.
The self disappears, only silence remains.
Knowledge disappears, only innocence remains.
To me, maturity is another name of realisation; you have to come to the fulfilment of your potential, it has become actual. The seed has come on a long journey and has blossomed.”
Osho, Beyond Psychology, Ch 37, Q 2
Aries, 21 March – 19 April
Your drive is strong this month – bright goals are calling. It may be tempting to reach for the stars and aim high, but stick to the rules of the game. Saturn advises you to pace yourself and to also consider areas that for you are not so easy to deal with, such as teamwork, finding compromises or patient planning. In difficult situations, look for the responsibility in yourself first, rather than in others. Uncertainties and delays may arise in the middle of the month. At the same time, however, the focus shifts to what is essential, and with it grows the willingness to persevere through difficulties.
Taurus, 20 April – 20 May
Venus favours cooperation on the same wavelength and with more leeway. Issues that have been held back can come to light and be discussed more sincerely. Heartfelt desires and needs become apparent. You want change, but first start with your inner attitude. Which dream in life gives you a feeling of expansiveness and fulfilment? Think through the many possibilities for making your everyday life, work and relationships more spontaneous, natural, and with more freedom of movement. Uranus dissolves old promises of commitment that you have outgrown over time. Join forces with like-minded people and create a common ground.
Gemini, 21 May – 21 June
Higher, further, faster? Or rather more genuine, deeper, more intense? Mercury questions the status quo and wants things to be different. But he doesn’t know exactly how! In this mental back and forth, desires and hopes can be awakened and skyrocket quickly. The pressure of expectation increases. Lilith activates hidden instincts that stir up conflict and bickering. However, this friction can also release surprising impulses and enliven the atmosphere. As long as the power struggle is anchored in the heart, it brings fun and freshness. And anyway, who says relationships should always be peaceful? Stay relaxed and enjoy the whirlwind!
Cancer, 22 June – 22 July
The harmonious phase, where you are at peace with yourself and with life, seems to be over for now. Your head and heart are constantly switching back and forth. The Full Moon will give the feeling of sitting between two chairs – “neither this nor that.” What is true now? Osho points to the space between words, to the gap where silence reigns, reality, Being. Let yourself sink into this space and savour it. Jupiter directs your focus to your state of mind and elevates your thoughts. How you approach life is entirely up to you – are you at peace with it or do you merely endure it? Focus on what’s going well and allow yourself to be surprised!
Leo, 23 July – 22 August
The Full Moon reveals many possibilities for action that can resolve some dead ends and put a few things in order. Until the middle of the month, everything will take its natural course, but then Saturn urges you to thoroughly examine which actions make sense and which are simply a waste of effort. Focus on what is necessary and let go of what drains you. This applies to relationships as much as to everyday responsibilities. You don’t need to rush from task to task like a weasel. Let things come to you, set priorities, then work with calm determination. One thing at a time. Take it easy!
Virgo, 23 August – 22 September
Jupiter lifts your gaze beyond everyday problems and strengthens your desire to liven up your fixed daily routine and bring more playfulness and awareness to your day-to-day activities. Mercury encourages you to deal with unresolved issues. Use your gift for discernment to see clearly what is genuinely useful – inwardly and outwardly. What gives you momentum, what makes your daily routine easier, and what is simply a waste of energy? Whether in your private or professional life, go to the bottom of things and tidy up… determined, and friendly. In doing so, it will become clear what is really important to you and what is not!
Libra, 23 September – 23 October
Even if not everything is going according to plan at the moment, situations are not always what they seem to be. The winds may shake you back and forth, but they can also shift direction very quickly. Stay confident and firmly rooted in what holds meaning for you – like a blade of grass bending in a storm. If the pressure becomes too much, distract yourself and soothe your mind – with art and culture – or go travelling… Any kind of distraction can bring peace. In the final third of the month, things will fall into place. Neptune strengthens your spiritual longing and Saturn sets to work to find a practical form for it. Your only obstacle is impatience.
Scorpio, 24 October – 21 November
The month begins quietly. Mercury is drawing into the depths from time to time, stirring up dark feelings, but this can also brings to light behavioural patterns that cause unrest in your relationships. Saturn and Neptune encourage an open stance, seeing the emotional drama for what it is – emotional waves that come and go. Stay receptive and initiate clarifying conversations, even if they feel challenging. Pluto strengthens your courage to be honest and invites a freer togetherness where everyone can be as they please. Show your interest and speak from the heart. Or step back if it doesn’t feel right.
Sagittarius, 22 November – 21 December
Things flow well, especially in the first half of the month – except for the constant tug-of-war in your head… On the one hand, you want to move forward, you feel inspired and powerful. On the other hand, you also want to sit back and relax. The Full Moon shines its light on your relationship. Here, too, you face a dilemma – craving entertainment and company, yet longing equally for solitude and quiet. Allow yourself a break. New goals may look tempting, but who’s to say that something even more attractive won’t be around the corner? Pause and enjoy what is happening right now. In the last third of the month, it will become clear what wants to happen specifically.
Capricorn, 22 December – 19 January
From thinking to doing – this could happen very quickly, but some areas need greater clarity and order before proceeding. Saturn sets limits on anything rushed. His credo is: plan realistically – pay attention to details and focus on the essentials. From the middle of the month onwards, ambition and enthusiasm for work will increase. Use this time to get to the root of any difficulties. Are your plans meaningful? Can they be implemented efficiently? A smart schedule supports implementation and allows for adjustments. Around mid-month reflect carefully about what you want to achieve and what you can realistically take on. Your friends and family are happy to support you, so confide in them.
Aquarius, 20 January – 18 February
Uranus offers hints for shaping a healthier daily routine. This includes everything that gets your body moving, brings you joy and is simple – relaxed movements, short trips, delicious food and, last but not least, taking it slow! This allows your senses to open up and reveal what is good for you and what is not. Pluto helps and shifts your ideals. Many of them have given your life meaning and direction for a long time, but now new ones are calling. Take the time to feel exactly what inspires your heart. What attracts you positively and at the same time gives you a feeling of serenity? By the last third of the month many of your heartfelt wishes could start taking shape.
Pisces, 19 February – 20 March
Saturn encourages you to bring more stillness into daily life – pausing more often, sensing yourself, letting go of the pressure to always be available for others. Slow down and practise patience. This reveals small but meaningful shifts, showing that everything you’ve set in motion is already on its way and will arrive at the right moment. This brings calm and softens your approach. Your discipline this month: rest, replenish, care for body, mind and spirit – or clear your space. Saturn exposes anything insincere and demands clarity. With that, many old obligations will dissolve. New tasks are already waiting. Patience, patience.
