苏珊的今年2017年12月

You seem to be very concerned about money, whether about how much you can spend for holiday gifts, to pay back student loans, to run your business or care for your family – one of these areas, or another one, has you up at night. However, the remedy you are taking right now is about to work beautifully and will quell your fears. There are so many solid reasons why you are looking at a bright financial future, and I will outline those reasons now.

First, this month, you have reason to celebrate. Saturn, the judge and taskmaster planet, will leave Sagittarius, a place he has held for three years. During that time, from December 23, 2014 to December 19 2017, Saturn taught you life lessons through financial experiences, and Saturn’s tests are never easy. You may have had a client go bankrupt and leave you holding the bag, and when you realized you’d never be paid, it might have been hard not to panic. Or, you may have had to battle identity theft, and had to work to get your good name back.

You may been concerned about how you could pay your mortgage or your credit cards, your student loan, or whether you would have the money to care for your children. Or, you may have suddenly wondered if you would have enough put away for retirement. By now you know what you learned and what solutions you may have put in place to protect yourself. I listed a few examples here, but you may know the ones you faced and how you became motivated to cope so you would never have to have a similar experience again – that was the point of the exercise. Even if you did everything right, life has a way of throwing us sideways, so don’t beat yourself up. You have become financially savvy in those years, and with the wisdom you gained under your belt, you will be in a good place moving forward.

The financial pressure that you felt will now come off, and you will soon be able to breathe more easily. Many of the seeds you planted over the past three years will start to bear fruit, so you will see money come in (and I will be more specific about in this report, so stay with me). You won’t see relief until after December 19, the date Saturn will leave Sagittarius and enter Capricorn. You are an earth sign, and with Saturn in fellow earth-sign Capricorn, the coming three years will be infinitely easier. Saturn will be in your ninth house of travel and academic pursuits, but as said, you will find it much easier financially in future years.

Saturn will not be back to your eighth house of other people’s money, where it has been a financial thorn in your side, until February 2044. Saturn’s trails are long, but they are also infrequent, the reason Saturn feels he has to make his presence so indelible and memorable. He wants to be sure you carry the wisdom you gained for nearly three decades as you move forward. We only get three experiences with Saturn in any one house of the horoscope in a lifetime, because Saturn takes 29 years to circle the Sun. Each subsequent visit of Saturn becomes easier, because theoretically you will have learned much during his first time around. (The last time Saturn was in this area of your chart was 1988 to early 1991.) Saturn never rewards during the period of his tutoring, but does leave a gift by the door as he makes his exit. This means you are in line for a financial benefit of some kind very soon now that your learning period in this part of your chart is over.

Mercury will retrograde almost all month, from December 3 to 22, and no doubt you began to feel the slowdown in the last third of November, last month. This means some checks due to you may be late if you are self-employed. Or, if you depend on child support to care for your children, your ex may not have any choice but to delay payment to you for whatever reason. Or, a check may get lost in the mail, or if you sent in an invoice, the other party may say it was made out incorrectly. I know, I agree, this is all frustrating news. We are all in this together, dear Taurus.

Mercury retrograde will give you problems with holiday shopping, so you might have to resort to sending gift cards. It’s not a time to buy any electronic gifts because Mercury rules the moving parts in machines, and it also rules judgment – and yours will be off. It’s too late for those purchases now, for no matter when you purchase during this month, something will be wrong with the item you buy and your recipient will have send it back, or worse, it will never quite please your recipient. When you buy your gift cards, photocopy each one, front and back, stable the two pages together, and write the recipient’s name on the photocopy. You will need a copy of the bar code on the back. File them away, and should any of your recipients lose their card, you can get it replaced.

Now, back to our discussion of Saturn. Before you can be free of Saturn’s nearly endless period of financial constraints and tests, you will have to get through the new and full moons this month. Both are due to hit financial areas of your chart. They shouldn’t bring negative news.

The first lunation will arrive December 3, a full moon in Gemini, 12 degrees, to light your second house of earned income. You will be paying bills, but if anyone owes you money, it is likely to come to you within plus or minus four days of this date. If you had asked for a raise a long time ago, you may finally get your answer.

A more important date will be the new moon, December 18, just one day prior to Saturn’s departure out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn. The Sun and new moon will be precisely conjunct Saturn, a suggestion that you may be ready to commit to a serious, long-term financial commitment such as the purchase of a house. You may be applying for a mortgage or home improvement loan, or you may take on the care of a relative who desperately needs your financial help. Although Saturn’s fingerprints will be all over this new moon, Uranus, the planet of unexpected developments, is supremely aligned to Saturn, bringing stability and financial luck to you when you least expect this to happen. Uranus is the planet that naturally rules Taurus’ career, so you will get many lucky breaks to build business and create a name for yourself in your industry.

More good news is likely to come December 10, when Mercury, currently in a financial house in Sagittarius, receives golden vibrations Uranus when the latter sends a surprise beam.

Happily, Jupiter, planet of good fortune, and Pluto, the powerhouse financial planet, two very slow moving planets, will be in sync, and are already close enough to help you (within four degrees). These two Titans of the planetary lineup will hit mathematical perfection on January 15 next month. This indicates that you are entering a strong and rewarding financial period. If you represent people, say, as an agent, or if you are a talent who is represented by an agent or manager, you will do exceptionally well. My point is, you seem to need a middleman to help you see financial reward, at least in 2018.

Uranus will be beautifully oriented to the new moon’s crown of stars in your eighth house on December 18, so a surprise influx of cash should make you very happy. Among the planets that Uranus will contact will be Saturn, the planet that had given you such angst. Uranus and Saturn rarely cooperate, but have been all through 2017, and will continue their bond in most of 2018. Now all things are moving in the right direction. You see? If you have worked hard to get to a better place and it will happen.

December 21 might give you temporary doubts that your efforts to build wealth will never work out (or at the very least, have enough to live and not worry). As you see, this month has more ups and downs than a rollercoaster and as always, the topic is money. This day brings doubt and tension, so it’s certainly not a day to close on a house, ask for a raise, buy a car, or do anything important that involves financials. Wait through this day, plus or minus one day – you will do better as the month continues.

At work, prepare for co-workers and subordinates to be cranky on December 1 when Mars and Uranus stand toe-to-toe at 180 degrees. You may learn something that has been taking place behind the scenes – a plot or incident that has been kept from you. You’ll need to get control over the people who report to you, but despite this jarring event, I doubt anyone can hurt your reputation. Keep your antenna up and try to maintain diplomacy. People will be quick to become riled up and over-react as the month begins.

December 16 will be one of your of best days of the month for your career, and for your home life, too, when Uranus will work directly with the Sun on your behalf. This is a Saturday, so you will feel the aspect build on December 14 and 15, too. Look your best, for all eyes will be on you when great news flies in the window unexpectedly.

On December 20, Venus and Uranus will be in sync, linking your career-related houses, giving you another surprisingly positive day to push ahead in your career before the holidays arrive.

Once Venus enters Capricorn and your ninth house of travel, the month will lighten up. You are moving toward a full moon, January 1, in your ninth house of international travel, so you may be taking a holiday in a mountainous location that requires a passport for entry. That full moon will be close to Saturn too, so everything about this month will be measured and carefully planned. Mercury won’t be retrograde anymore by month’s end, and you may look forward to getting a needed change of scene.

Even if you don’t go away, the full moon will heighten feelings over the full moon, January 1, and with your ruler, Venus, very close to Saturn, you may be getting engaged at the very moment the sky lights up with fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the New Year 2018. Additionally, Mars will be getting close to Jupiter in a once-in-two year conjunction, and each time these two meet, they always meet in a different house and sign. For you these two luminaries, Mars, the planet of action, and Jupiter, the planet of happiness and luck, will team up in your seventh house of marriage and commitment (to reach mathematical perfection on January 8.) Certainly these two will be close enough by New Year’s Eve to feel these planet’s blessings. It’s not been since August 1982 that Mars has aligned with Jupiter in Scorpio in your seventh house. If you know the song from “Hair” – “When the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars…” well, the moon WILL be in the seventh house on January 9, and Jupiter will align with Mars on January 8, so you will feel this energy the following day. Wow, you have all conditions to make an engagement or wedding happen, dear Taurus! By December 31, these slow moving planets will be close enough to send you kisses.

If you are married, you will draw closer in love. Good news will likely come from your mate, and you both will benefit.

You can use this energy at work too. If you have business partners, the same is true – the person you are partners with, or who you represent / represents you, will be a gem and shine more brightly than the stars in the velvety midnight sky. You’ll see!

Summary

Finances are on your mind, and you are determined to create a stable monetary base for yourself, not only for now but for the many years ahead. The full moon, December 3, will bring a financial matter to culmination. You will likely be paying bills, but you may also see money come in. Neptune will be in hard angle to the full moon, suggesting that participating in holiday celebrations may be costly. You may decide to pass on some and center your attention on your favorite. At the same time, keep in mind that celebrating holidays need not break the bank – you can find clever hacks to still have fun. What matters is that you enjoy the company of friends and family. At the end of the day, the emotional warmth you feel is what gives the holidays, and your life, meaning.

Money will continue to be on your mind throughout the month. A gaggle of planets are migrating into your eighth house of other people’s money, to become noticeable by the new moon, December 18. This house rules mortgage, credit cards, student loans, venture capital, insurance payouts, and the like. Saturn will conjunct the Sun and moon, and suggests that banks may nit-pick about who will be granted a loan, so make sure your application is letter perfect, with no inaccuracies. This also suggests you want to put yourself on a disciplined financial path. Don’t overdo, dear Taurus – you seem fairly obsessed. A visit to your accountant may be in order, to do savvy tax planning and to set up a savings plan. By meeting with your accountant now, before tax seasons, you may discover you qualify for legal deductions that will lower your tax liability.

Mercury will be retrograde almost all month, from December 3 to December 22, indicating that shopping and shipping is likely to become challenging in this holiday season. Perhaps baking a tin of cookies, using Mother’s special recipes for some of the people on your list, will start to be a great idea. For others, resort to gift cards, but be absolutely sure your recipient likes the retailer you choose.

After a month being entwined in calculator tape, the moments you will find to spend with your one and only love will be especially sweet. You will have time for each other at month’s end. At that time, Mars will be moving close to Jupiter, indicating this could be a holiday for your record books. An engagement is very possible, and if you are already married, an upcoming trip you are planning to an overseas location may have you eager to ring in the New Year.

No love at present? You can use this energy in your career, which seems to be going gangbusters, especially if you regularly collaborate with a business partner or agent, or represent others. Watch December 16 for proof that when it comes to career, nothing can stop you now.
