You will have a very merry holiday month, dear Aquarius. Planets that are stacking in your eleventh house of friendship will ensure that you have a lively social season, and that you'll be busy seeing and bonding with those you've not seen in a long while. You will also make a number of new friends, so all in all, this will be one of your happiest holidays in a long time.

The first inkling that your social life is about to get busy will occur over the weekend of December 6-7, when the Sun in your friends sector will reach out to Mars in your long-distance travel sector. You may be traveling to a beautiful event in a distant city, like an engagement party or wedding of a close friend, and it's sure to be vibrant and fun.

All month, until January 3, Mars will remain in Libra, a sign highly compatible with yours, and that supports your dreams and wishes. So many areas shine for you: international relationships, matters of immigration, academia, the media, legal matters and the courts, plus more. Mars in such a sweet angle to your Sun will have you feeling energized and excited. December 6-7 should be particularly happy. Whatever you do on this special weekend, it will likely put you amid a great many smiling faces.

Two days later, on December 8, you will have a romantic day. Your ruler, Uranus will signal the Sun with a thrilling electric beam, and surprises galore should come up. If you have a steady partner or mate, your other half may surprise you on this day with an idea or gift that you would never have imagined would be presented to you - and you will love it.

Your big moment will arrive when the new moon appears on December 11, in Sagittarius 19 degrees. This new moon will make your social life much more vibrant than it has been, even better than the elegant days I discussed above. I love that Uranus, your ruling planet (naming you in this configuration), will be in ideal angle to the new moon. Transiting Uranus has been in your travel sector since March 2011, giving you chances to pack and go at will. (Uranus will remain in your third house of nearby travel until 2019.) When this portal of energy opens up, your social life will explode with offers and events.

This part of your chart being energized so powerfully also rules communication. Your email will overflow, text screens will pop, pop, pop, and your phone will ring continually with news and social invitations for parties and dinners from friends and acquaintances. Your sign is a caring one, always interested in helping those who suffer and who have been overlooked or marginalized by society. You may decide to do volunteer work for a charity or get involved with a humanitarian effort to bring awareness to a part of society that is suffering. (Getting involved with a charity or humanitarian project is a great way to meet like-minded people, and not only might you make new friends, but you may also have a romantic meeting if you are single.)

If your birthday falls on February 8, plus or minus four days, you will feel the positive vibrations of the new moon December 11 more strongly than that of your Aquarian friends with birthdays that fall in other parts of the sign. You will also benefit if you have Aquarius rising, or a natal planet or moon in Aquarius, Libra, Gemini, Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius at 19 degrees, plus or minus five degrees.

As you see, December will be a monumentally busy time for most people, and you too, but as they say, give a busy person more to do (you), and it gets done. You will be a pillar of efficiency in December.

You will have time to play, too, because your career will heat up, not now, but from January 3 to March 5, 2016. Take a chance to rest and revitalize now while you can. In January, Mercury will retrograde from January 5 to 25, so the entire month will be quiet - you will start to feel Mercury's slowdown as early as December 19.

If you are saying, "Wait, my career opportunities and rewards will start to heat up in January, but at the same time Mercury will be retrograde?" Yes, that's true, but first, realize your career trend will last until March 5. You can deal well with this trend if you go back to past clients who always supported you, for they will be fortunate for you. Alternatively, you may hear from a VIP you used to work with you, and who was always impressed with the quality of your work. You may get offered a wonderful, prestigious job. Things like this do happen! Don't wait for others to call you - you can call them! Keep in mind that February will be one of the strongest, happiest months of the year for everyone, so if you are organized, you can make a lot of professional progress two months from now, in February, especially after the darling new moon in Aquarius, February 8.

That may sound too far off, so here is one day in December that should bring you exciting career news. It's December 17, when Venus and Pluto will work collaboratively on your behalf. Venus will be transiting your tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement from December 4 to December 29, and on December 17 will receive help from Pluto. This will translate into help from a VIP who wants to remain anonymous. At work, it's clear, you can do no wrong!

There will be one day when things will possibly go haywire, and that's December 10, a day that comes prior to the new moon. On this day, Mars will oppose Uranus, which is a very hot, explosive aspect. Mars (planet of war and strife) and Uranus (planet of unpredictable events) will be at 180 degrees from one another in confrontational aspect. You have two travel houses in your chart (as does everyone else), but yours will be lit up.

Mars will fill one house (your house of distant travel), cutting across your horoscope wheel directly to Uranus (in your short distance travel house). It's easy to see that December 10 would not be a day to travel using any means of transportation. If you drive, be careful not to cut off another driver, because you won't know if this person is quick to become angry in a road rage type incident. Uranus brings conditions that you would not expect, such as long delays in the airport or a flat tire on the road.

My sweet daughter, dear Diana, lives in Los Angeles, and is flying home to New York City for the holidays to see her sister, father, and me. However, she has very little time, due to her work AND jury duty. She has delayed jury duty before, but now she has to go. As luck would have it, her jury duty is due at the end of December. She was planning to come home December 19 or 20, but I had to tell her to stay out of the airport at that time. I want as many days and hours with Diana as possible (in between her seeing all her friends here, of course), but this aspect will sharply reduce the time she'll have to be in New York. I tell you this because I want you to know I follow my own advice, even if it hurts to do so!

As you get closer to month's end, the stars sparkle! On December 24, Venus will be in divine angle to Jupiter. This is great, because soft, gentle Venus is the natural ruler of two solar houses of your horoscope: your fourth house of home and family, and your ninth house of distant travel. This tells me you can spend Christmas Eve at home, giving a beautiful, luxurious party for family and friends, or you can fly off to distant shores and enjoy the holiday overseas for a truly memorable holiday. You might opt to visit Paris, Berlin, Rome, or a tiny village in the Swiss Alps. I mention these wonderful cities just to get you thinking. If you prefer the beach, how about St. Barts? Wherever you go, you will have luxurious accommodations, for when Jupiter is involved, you will feel pampered and adored by the staff.

Also on December 24, you may also be told that you are about to receive a generous check. It may be a large year-end bonus, insurance payout, advance on a book, commission or licensing fee payment, cash court settlement, venture capital investment in your business, a valuable gift, or cash from your parents.

With Venus transiting your prestigious tenth house, and Jupiter in your financial eighth house, you are clearly valued at work, and the money you receive will prove it. Although the money you get at this time may come from a variety of possible sources, I suspect the check will be work related, as reward for your excellent performance. You are not a materialistic sign, so all this talk of money this month may bewilder you. This is one of the most loveable sides to you - to you money is not that important. Creativity, relationships with others, and helping those who are too weak or suffering to champion their own cause will always be number 1 with you. Yet money will give you choices, dear Aquarius, so enjoy the bounty that seems destined for you. The past four-five months should have brought you more money than you've ever seen, but if not, you have until September 9, 2016, to see just how generous the universe is about to be with you.

New Year's Eve seems to be an evening that you would enjoy spending with your partner. Although you love crowded parties, this won't be one of those nights to go to one. Aquarius is known to have a great many friends - and you do - but on this night, you might opt to spend all your time, and direct all of your attention, to your partner. The transiting moon will be in Virgo and Jupiter will conjoin the moon. It is a perfect vibration for privacy and expressions of love. What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year!

Your season of festivities will be filled with friends, fun, and fabulous foods. The new moon of December 11 seems to have been made for you. Although you will have several beautiful days prior to the new moon, this day will get the ball rolling and a flurry of Invitations will start to come in the days that follow December 11. Most of the invitations you will receive to A-list parties will be a surprise, for Uranus will be sweetly angled to the new moon, and Uranus always does what you'd never expect would happen. Mars will get in the act too, so you may have the option to travel in early to mid-December.

Whatever you do, do NOT travel over December 10, when Mars and Uranus will confront one another in a very aggressive way, causing all kinds of frustrations whether you find yourself at the airport or traveling by rail, bus, or car. Your ruler, Uranus, is involved in this configuration, making it a harder day for you than for most. The weekend of December 19-20 will also be difficult, for Mercury (travel) will be at hard angle to your ruler, Uranus. Weather delays could sideline you for hours, so leave town a few days earlier or later in the month.

At work, this month, it appears you are as popular as can be with both higher ups and those reporting to you. Venus will glide through your reputation and status sector (tenth house), until December 30 for the first time in 2015, indicting charm will get you far. You need not be too forceful, assertive, or aggressive in your presentations to higher ups or clients - your charisma will have VIPs listening to what you have to say and approving your ideas. A light touch will work best. You made a lot of progress in November, and now Venus will help you extend your competitive edge throughout December.

Speaking of work, you appear to have a project that will come up against the holiday, for the full moon, December 25, will fall in your workaday sector. Neptune will be nicely angled, so you will enjoy being invited to put your stamp of individuality on the project. You may be putting in late nights to wrap up this important assignment, so it will be vital that you keep your health robust throughout December. You will want to be healthy to enjoy all the fun parts of the holiday season.

On December 24, just as the world is quieting down for a winter's nap, you will likely get very good news about your career, as Venus and Jupiter will work together in lovely aspect. It appears a bonus, royalty, licensing fee or approved loan, payment you've been expecting (or not), say, from a client or insurance company, will come through in one large bundle on or this date.

This year, it seems you will want to spend a quiet, private New Year's Eve with the ones you love. You will have done enough socializing to feel you've had a happy time with friends, and by December 31, you will want to give quality time to the ones that mean the most to you. As the snow falls, and as cold winds blow outside, you will be happy to be in a cozy place, enveloped in the warmth of those who matter most to you.
