I am bursting with excitement, for December will be one of the sweetest, most joyful months of 2019. I can’t wait for you to read all I have to say. It will be a month that has almost everything, including a solar eclipse (no worries, this eclipse will glow with benefits for every sign), a move of Jupiter, the good fortune planet, to a new sign, and a very rare, glorious aspect December 15.

I am excited to announce two new appearances, the first in New York City on Friday, December 6 and one, a month later, in Dallas-Ft. Worth, on January 4, 2020. I will appear in Los Angeles at the Conscious Life Expo in February and will post that information shortly.

You have a magnificent December for both personal and professional development. Rarely have I seen a month so glorious, where each day seems to be in competition to bring even better and brighter news as you go along.

Let’s talk first about the recent new moon in Sagittarius that occurred late last month on November 26 in your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement. That new moon is still sending out powerful, benefic beams to you, so the start of December might bring new opportunities for you to extend your influence and rachet up your reputation for excellence. You only get one new moon a year in each of the 12 houses of the horoscope—each house ruling a different part of life—so use this new moon in your most prestigious career sector to help you get ahead. Contribute your ideas, get interviews with the press or with influential VIPs who are willing to entertain your proposal. If you need help to achieve a goal, reach out, for with your current star power, you’ll get it.

Mars, the planet that brings energy and drive, will orbit in Scorpio throughout December, which is a very compatible place for Mars to be for you. I will come back to the topic of Mars in Scorpio later, but my point in bringing up Mars now is that Mars will move through Sagittarius, your tenth house of fame, honors, and achievement, from January 3 to February 16, and that is when you will get a second chance to advance your career. Mars comes by a sign every two years, so be ready in January when Mars returns to the most precious professional spot for you—Sagittarius. You can put your name in lights at that time.

Meanwhile, on December 2, Jupiter, the great good fortune planet, will make his monumental move into Capricorn for the first time in 12 years. He will leave your tenth house of fame, where he’s been since November 2018, and enter your eleventh house of friends, social groups, and humanitarian efforts. The professional strides you made during the past year will stay with you and grow during the second gestation of Jupiter’s cycle, gearing up now. The harder you worked last year, the greater your harvest will be in 2020. Jupiter is important to everyone, but it is Pisces’ ancient ruler, so Jupiter’s movements and alignments mean more to you than most.

Jupiter will now light your house of friendship and join Saturn and Pluto already there. You’ve not had a lot of time to socialize in 2019, but you will in 2020, and that will make the coming year sparkle. You will be out and about more, and you will find getting ahead in your work to be easier because your circle of friends, acquaintances, and casual contacts will grow and help you. Jupiter is the natural ruler of your career sector, so from now on, you will be more successful by working less formally, writing reports, having meetings, and by being out socializing.

    Your eleventh house will be so lit up for you in the coming year, but especially in December 2019 and January 2020. This house rules not only friendships and groups, and love and charity, it is called the house of hopes and wishes. Hold onto your dreams, dear Pisces, for this year you may see the fruition of a long-held dream finally come true.

Like the ripples a stone creates after it has been tossed in a pool of water, new friends will continue to grow, for new people will want to enlarge your present circle of friends by introducing you their friends. It would be wise for you to join a professional or social club or both this year and to go to the programs offered. Some of the people you meet will be older than you—one may become a mentor and take you under his or her wing.

Watch for an enchanting day on December 8, when Venus in Capricorn will receive silvery beams from your ruling planet, Neptune, setting up a magical day in every way. You can use this day (or the entire weekend, including December 7) for a first date, a divinely romantic dinner in a festive restaurant, or to bring a child to see Santa and be warmed by seeing the excitement in the child’s eyes.

Last year I accompanied my daughter Chrissie, her husband, Leo (yes, that is his real name and he is a Leo), and their little two-and-a-half year old boy, Otis, when they went to Macy’s to see Santa in his Wonderland Workshop. When it was finally Otis’ turn to see Santa, my daughter, Chrissie, holding Otis’ hand, said to Santa, “This is Otis.” Santa smiled, nodded and responded confidently, looking at Otis, “I know this is Otis! Hello!” Chrissie told Santa that Otis sent Santa a letter, and Santa said he got it and is saving it. Little Otis’ eyes grew wide, and it was easy to see that Otis was thrilled and would never forget this encounter.

I won’t forget that moment, either, for it is one of the parts of childhood I love most. I am definitely coming along to watch Otis see Santa this year now that he is three-and-a-half—our appointment is for December 8. My reason for telling you this is that this day, December 8, can also bring a touching moment for you, for it can reveal the magic of love and the beauty of childhood.

The month’s strong emphasis on romance and social activity will temporarily shift at the full moon in Gemini at 20 degrees on December 11. You will be thinking about one or more family members—your parents, sister, or brother—or you may be concentrating on a home situation. It may be that the perfect house or apartment will show up now (plus or minus four days) if you have been looking. This full moon will be in hard angle to Neptune in Pisces, so be sure to ask questions if you plan to take action on any home or family decision, for certain facts may be missing or obscured. If you are closing on a house, don’t rush the process. Discuss various contingencies with your lawyer to make sure the paperwork has clauses to protect you. Confer with your broker as well.

Mars, circulating in your ninth house of travel all month and until January 3, suggests you might go on a long trip overseas at some point in December. You seem to be going with a friend or to see a friend at the destination. Alternatively, you may have a business reason to go, most likely a speaking or writing engagement.

If you do travel, one standout day will be December 13 when you can do no wrong. There will be a magical quality about this day—Mars and your ruler Neptune will be cooperating to make this a dream of a day for you. If you are asked to use your imagination or creativity on a certain project, you will stand head-and-shoulders above the rest.

Another sterling day for you—and this one is sure to be a five-star day—will be December 15 when Jupiter in Capricorn, your friendship house, will receive sparkling vibrations from Uranus in Taurus, your travel house. If you find yourself away from home on this day, your trip will go well—you seem to be building a community of adoring friends or fans. This is a very rare aspect, and what comes up will surprise you in some way. You won’t see anything as sweetly harmonious between good-fortune Jupiter and surprise-a-minute Uranus again until 2024. This year, this aspect will occur over the weekend of December 14-15, plus or minus one day.

The big centerpiece of the month will come on December 25/26 when the new moon solar eclipse will occur in Capricorn, your eleventh house, at four degrees. This eclipse will be outstanding. I can’t remember an eclipse as supportive and filled with goodies as this one, and being a new moon, it will open up a new chapter for you. Jupiter will conjoin the eclipse within one degree, and at the same time, Uranus, in your communication and travel sector, will send a beam to this eclipse. This may trigger travel both now and in the future, and on these trips, all kinds of fun, unanticipated events will come up. This eclipse will occur in North and South America on December 25, but for the rest of the world, it will happen on December 26.

The eleventh house rules your community and fan-base, so if you are active in social media, your followers are likely to explode this year in numbers. Something is cooking, dear Pisces—you wait and see!

All that I discussed at the start of your report will be energized at eclipse-time—you may make a new friend that changes the course of your life and who proves to be very good for you. Capricorn (your eleventh house) is a big money sign, so it stands to reason that the new people you meet and who you become friends with will be highly successful and motivate you to reach for the stars. Something will come up involving a friend or a romantic partner—and it just may take your breath away.

Every Pisces will enjoy this aspect, and if you were born on February 21 plus five days, an additional boost will go to you, and you will enjoy this aspect more than most, for the degrees of Jupiter and Uranus are being directed straight to you on this eclipse. The same is true if you have Pisces rising at three degrees.

As said earlier, joining groups and being a member who participates in the club or humanitarian effort will figure prominently in your life this year. You will meet people who are like-minded and who have a big heart, just like you. One friend who you meet soon could become more than a friend, namely, a romantic interest. Stay open to that possibility. When the lunar eclipse (a full moon) arrives January 10, and Venus moves into Pisces (January 13 until February 7), that romance might begin to blossom.

Eclipses come in pairs, as a new moon solar eclipse (this month, December 25/26) and two weeks later as a full moon lunar eclipse (next month, January 10). Both types of eclipses are powerful. The more I study astrology, the more I see that the universe is in a hurry for you to use your life and your talents to their fullest extent.

When the universe notices that a situation is languishing and is unproductive, it will pull you out of it in the blink of an eye. New moon solar eclipses open a new path—they are about beginnings and new opportunities. Full moon lunar eclipses bring culmination, closure, and an ending of a chapter. They tend to be more emotional than solar eclipses, for they show us certain truths we have failed to see. They make us aware of the passage of time and make us sentimental or nostalgic. It’s always best to make decisions on your own, but if you can’t, an eclipse will do what you could not do for yourself and move you forward, ready or not. This month you’ll love the new paths that open for you.

If you would like to learn more about the nature of eclipses, which are the most powerful aspect the universe can use to create instant change, I have an essay about eclipses and how they work that many readers have enjoyed. It is on the home page of Astrology Zone on the lower left side, and it is found at http://bit.ly/2ffYjjk.

As a Pisces, being sensitive to others’ suffering is in your DNA. This year, you may be drawn to volunteer for a charity close to your heart and prove yourself to be a highly productive part of the team. You can help that charity extend awareness and raise funds for research and to care for victims. This will prove to be a growing theme throughout 2020, but the spark may be lit in December 2019 or January 2020.

Watch what happens directly after Christmas Day—whatever happens will come as a total surprise. In your case, by helping others, you will be shocked to see you will help yourself. Your personal growth will compound, and your feelings of satisfaction will swell your heart.

Jupiter and the Sun will align on December 27 in Capricorn, creating the Luckiest Day of the Year, and the Sun will take the goodness of Jupiter and multiply it many times over. If you are invited to an event on this day, December 27, go, for it will be a day laden with possibilities. A friend may reach out and help you in an amazing way.

Your eleventh house will be so lit up for you in the coming year, but especially in December 2019 and January 2020. This house rules not only friendships and groups, and love and charity, it is called the house of hopes and wishes. Hold onto your dreams, dear Pisces, for this year you may see the fruition of a long-held dream finally come true.

This will be an extraordinary month for you. Events will move quickly now, for Neptune, your ruler, was retrograde since June 21 and only went direct late last month on November 27. Projects, relationships, and decisions that have languished will now move forward, and you will feel your energy and optimism return full force.

This month brings Jupiter into the sign of Capricorn on December 2, joining Saturn, Pluto, and, for a time, Venus (until December 19) and later, after December 21, the Sun and new moon solar eclipse of December 25/26 (depending on your location). All these planets are lighting your eleventh house of friendships and social groups, so your friends will clearly have a huge role to play in your life during the coming year, and Jupiter will remain in this area of your chart for 12 months, until December 19, 2020. While there, Jupiter will see to it that you make many new friends, and most will be successful from all walks of life.

Your new friends will enthuse you to widen your circle, they will expose you to fresh ideas and give you the courage to follow a dream dear to your heart. One person you meet may be older and experienced and might become a mentor to you and give you the introductions you need to get started. Romance is quite possible too, for so many new people will soon start to pour into your life.

This trend will be especially strong in December and January. You would be wise to circulate—lucky you, December is the most social month of the year, and it looks as though you will be invited to one or two magical parties or dinners. The eleventh house, where all the activity will be focused now and in months to come, is also the house of hopes and wishes, where you often will see a long-hoped-for-dream materialize. It may be a spiritual dream or a material one, but either way, something you’ve long hoped to grasp will be yours very soon.

You will certainly start to feel this trend full force at the sweet-as-sugar new moon solar eclipse in Capricorn on Christmas Day, December 25/26. Some eclipses are challenging, but not this one. This eclipse will encourage you, help you, and give you a rare and fortunate opportunity that will come through the kindness of a friend or acquaintance. In weeks to come you will be surrounded with many people at various types of events. The people you interact with may be members of your community, a club that you joined, people you work with at a charity or humanitarian effort, or represent your constituency or fan base.

Directly after the eclipse on December 27, the Sun and Jupiter will align, making for the Luckiest Day of the Year and will bring wildly good news about how well you are doing on a work project. The fact that this peach of an aspect is falling so close to the solar eclipse means it will form part of the eclipse’s energy and create brilliantly fortunate vibrations. Jupiter, your great benefactor, is important to you, Pisces, because it is your ancient ruler, and it is the natural ruler of your tenth house of career honors, awards, and achievement.

At the same time, the Sun is the natural ruler of your house of work projects, so it is clear that an assignment has been, or soon will be, approved to start at any moment and will bring you acclaim through publicity or other offers. You now may get a new assignment. When Jupiter is involved, generous money usually follows, so you will be pleased with the salary or fees you are offered. This appears to be news you will want to celebrate and shout from the rooftops, so do it!

On December 11, the full moon will bring a family matter to fullness. You may be hosting family in your guest room or getting ready to create an exciting holiday dinner for family members. Some Pisces will move, and although at holiday time a residential move is certainly hard, you just might find your dream space in this luscious month and realize you’ll need to snap it up before someone else grabs it.

In regard to the theme of friends and groups being vital to your progress not only in December but throughout 2020, watch what you hear over December 14-15, plus or minus two days, when Uranus in Taurus will reach out to Jupiter in Capricorn, in a stunningly electric vibration. Capricorn is a big money sign, so it stands to reason the people you meet will be highly successful and motivate you to reach for the stars. A friend may link you to a prestigious writing or speaking assignment. It is also possible that you will need to travel some distance to attend an important event. News will come in suddenly, and when it does, you will be thrilled. If you have a sister or brother that you are close to, your sibling might play a part in this weekend’s good news, too.
