WEEKLY REVIEW BY PHASES OF THE MOON
8 December: Moon’s Last Quarter in Virgo
“This is a thoughtful phase and you indulge in some serious planning. You meet all kinds of demand and responsibility and our mind is hyperactive. You get introspective and may even go on a pilgrimage. You want to spend time with the true essence of existence. You want to develop as a complete human being and everything esoteric excites you. Luck also shines on you and throws up many opportunities for growth, renewal, revival, rejuvenation and change. There are new and profitable collaborations and you are no fool when it comes to money. You grab all that is on offer and make a quick buck. You’re also kind and thoughtful and understand others’ pain and circumstances in a deep and non-judgmental way. You bring solace to wounds and will be much sought after. People look up to you for inspiration, compassion and empathy.”
14 December: New Moon in Sagittarius
“You are a people’s person and look closely at personal associations and interactions. You are friendly, sociable and well meaning and often make sincere efforts to get along with everyone, even with those you really dislike. You are generally bold and upfront and can make enemies, but in this phase, you control your tongue and keep your personal views and opinions to yourself like a professional diplomat. You network, socialize, interact, travel and spend happily. Troublesome domestic issues may surface and need to be resolved with intuition and wisdom. Your confidence in yourself nudges you in the right direction. You enjoy the company of like-minded people and feel secure in their company: suddenly, you start seeking them out, wishing to gain in terms of both knowledge and experience.”
21 December: Moon’s First Quarter in Aries
“You expand your activities hugely and overindulge; there are no limits or boundaries to what you can do. There is travel and there is deep bonding to. You may be on holiday and meet up with a person you want to hitch your wagon to for some time at least. There is palpable passion for some time at least and this person can play an important role in your life. I can’t pin-point the exact nature of the association as it depends on your personal horoscope but your heart will beat and bleed for sure! You are in a celebratory mood and the real world and its mundane issues seem totally alien to your mindset. You are not one to be tied down to just work for ever. You are a lover of freedom with a strong ego and individual drives. You want to enjoy, fly! Way to go, says Ganesha.”
30 December: Full Moon in Cancer
“You end the year well and may even manage to keep next year’s resolutions for some time at least, going by the mood you are in now. You are rounding off this exciting and demanding year with determination, performance, achievement, discipline and gains on several fronts. This will serve as a launching pad to greater glory in the coming months. There is added happiness in the form of family support; friends and well-wishers also stand by you in all ventures. Money matters will be good. There is enough in the kitty too for your extravagant ways and you will not need to stop at speculation and other forms of gambling and risk-taking, even when the chips are down. You are fortunate to be blessed with a spirit that never wants to see the downsides of life. You are an eternal optimist and know somehow that, in the end, the boat will right itself. Fortune has the habit of smiling on you and it is up to you to appreciate and value it. Life is all about attitude and you have a sunny disposition that stands you in good stead even in the harshest times. Continue into the new year with zest and verve and Ganesha’s blessings.”
