Aries
In one of the fastest months of the year, Aries is not a sign that feels overwhelmed. We were made for the kind of rush that always comes in December (One word: finals.) How to make the best of this energy? Here’s my advice:
The Good: The month starts with a bang! Aries get a boost all the way to this month’s Full Moon on December 13th. Be ready for your phone to be off the hook and enjoy the festivities! With finals coming up, use the weekend as your time to relieve your stress by celebrating the holidays at the Ticker in ugly sweaters or formal dresses.
The Tricky: Your career might also take off, especially at the end of the month. Some of us might get a bit intense then. Just remember what’s important and don’t forget to breathe.
Extra Tip: Follow your instincts this month, they won’t disappoint you.

Taurus
Can you believe that it is December already!? Where did the first semester go? Here’s what you need to know about this month…
Your love life mellows out early in the month – not necessarily a bad thing. You have plenty of other things to focus on, plus this means extra time to yourself to spend the day with Netflix in bed!
Money and shopping are highlighted by the December 13th Full Moon. Luna and Isle Of You anyone?? Remember: more isn’t always better. Actually, it often is the opposite.
The New Moon on December 28th urges you to turn over a new leaf. Make some realistic New Year’s resolutions – even just one. You can do it!
Best Days: 10, 11
Tougher Days: 23, 24
Gemini
You’re attracting just the kind of things you want in December! I talked to the astrologers here and this is what to expect…
Your clever, yet practical side kicks into overdrive. You can accomplish everything you set out to do if you get going right as the month starts. Don’t be afraid to use your planner to make sure you space out all of the work due for your classes! It can be a bit hectic if you leave 2 final exams, a final essay, and an oral presentation all for one day!
The December 13th Full Moon is all about you and your social life. Get out, connect with friends, meet new people. This means go to Java if you haven’t been, or check out a Theme House that you’ve never been to (I hear the International House has really good food)
December 28th has an intense New Moon, with Mercury retrograde as well. It can be frustrating, so just sit back and let things come to you… you’re attractive and attractING.

Cancer
Don’t freak out! December is ruled by fiery and airy energy, meaning it could be a bit tricky for us. But you know what? There will be a big reward in the end. Keep reading…
The Good: This month’s Full Moon on December 13th is all about relaxing and pampering yourself. If you’ve been working hard lately, you deserve some solo time. Take it! Go to Walmart or Rite Aid and pick up some beauty products so you and your friends can have a spa day!
The Bad: The Pisces Moon on December 5th might make you feel stressed out to the point of feeling like you are alone carrying all this weight. It’s an illusion. You are not the only one who feels like finals might just be your tipping point. Everyone is feeling defeated by work at this point in the semester, talk to some friends about it and you will feel better.
Extra Tip: This month’s New Moon on December 28th is red hot for us. If single, you might be hooking up with someone by New Years. If committed, your partner will be fascinated with you.

November was a great month for a lot of Pisces and December is even better. It’s not all sweet and candy but Fish won’t have much to complain about. Here’s what you need to know:
The Good: Energetic Mars enters our sign on December 19th. Although this aspect might not be the most comfortable for us, it gives us a ton of energy. Let’s take advantage of it- stay at the Ticker until closing time!
The Bad: This month’s Full Moon on December 13th involves you in a lot of work projects, which is great, the downside is that your family and friends might feel a bit neglected. Get started on studying for finals early so that you can have a relaxing last few days with your friends before heading home for winter break.
