Cancer Summary

Partners and others will have a large say in the way events proceed, so you might simply want to go with the flow. Trying to grab the reins won't work and will only frustrate you, for Mars will give preference to the part of your chart ruling your partner(s) from December 5 to January 15. Keep in mind that Pluto and Mercury will be well angled to Venus, so your partner will tend to be working in your interest. Once you realize this, you may be content to play a passive role for now. The one day when sparks may fly will be December 13, when Pluto and Mars will conjoin, and you may feel pushed into a corner by your significant other.
Whether you are single or attached, you'll have the joy of Venus gliding though your fifth house of true love throughout December! Venus will give you opportunities to enjoy yourself, despite your hectic schedule and the unexpected events that will take place late in the month.
December 8 might become one of your favorite days, when Venus will link with Pluto. At that time, you could feel swept off your feet by love.
As the month begins, the new moon, December 5, in your sixth house, will bring new work opportunities, but they'll be assignments and not represent a chance to aim for a new position - for that you'll need to wait until the first few months of 2011. In the New Year you will have all the chances you need to reach for the stars, so don't jump the gun and take something average and less exciting now. Hold out for more, which will arrive on a silver platter. Still, this new moon will bring interesting projects to showcase your talents, or new business if you are self-employed. Do your best and those projects will only enhance your ability to stand out.
On December 5, Uranus will go direct and will encourage your relationships with people abroad, as well as in regard to court cases and the media. Your sector ruling commissions and bonuses will be well lit, too, so this new moon could put a tidy sum of money into your pocket.
Mercury will be retrograde all month, however, so you may want to put off elective surgery until mid-January - of course, that includes plastic surgery of all kinds. If travel plans change, think of it as par for the course.
The most difficult part of the month will be at the lunar eclipse, December 21, operative plus or minus one week. The moon rules Cancer, so full moon lunar eclipses are doubly important to Cancer. You may hear that a relative or friend is not well and needs medical care in a hospital or other facility, so it would be best not to be out of town at this time. Alternatively, it could be that a secret that someone withheld from you will now be revealed, which, of course, would be upsetting.
This eclipse falls in the last degree of Gemini, so if you were born June 21 or within four days later, you will feel the effects of this eclipse because it will fall close to your Sun. Something of enormous importance to you is ending, and this phase is not likely to be an easy one. This eclipse will help you see yourself and your own needs in a new light, and you are likely to make yourself a priority at this time, rightly so!
New Year's Eve may prove pivotal, because the approaching eclipse, January 4, falls in your marriage sector and will bring news about your relationship, especially if you were born on or within days of July 4. You may get a proposal, or you may make an extreme decision about a close relationship, one way or the other. See how things go.
Dates to Note for Cancer:
With many planets filling the western side of the chart, you won't have the ability to get things done as you would like, so be content to let others take the lead. Compromise where necessary and don't try to get full control - this month that won't be possible.
Long distance travel would NOT be wise December 3 and 17. Give a plus or minus three days to those dates.
The new moon of December 5 will bring a new assignment at work. You may be working long hours - into overtime. It's nice to have a job.
The same new moon can offer you the ideal time to start a new fitness program - take it! Do not wait for January 1, for by that time you won't have the good fortune you have now to get started.
The turn of Uranus direct on December 5 will help you in all ninth house activities including issues related to court cases, relationships with those involved in academia, the media, and in global settings. Your prospects for making a royalty or commission have never been better, too.
Mercury will be retrograde December 10-30, but you will feel the slowdown from the moment the month begins. Do nothing of great importance this month. Wait until mid-January for your key initiations. Conditions are changing - fast.
December 21 marks the lunar eclipse, and it will bring a jolt to one and all. Keep plans very loose and elastic, for it seems sure that your holiday plans will change, perhaps when someone you know is infirmed. Alternatively, secrets may come out in the open and shock you when they do. Keep your eyes and ears open.
Best romantic dates: December 2, 8 (great for those attached), 12, 13, 25, and 30.

Capricorn Summary

With Mars moving into your sign on December 5, to stay until January 15, you will be raring to go. Even so, you will have to be patient, as the world won't be ready for your ideas and plans just yet. Mercury will be retrograde in Capricorn from December 10 to 30, and you will feel things slow down all month. Mercury rules all the things that the world spins on - communication, negotiation, contracts and agreements, travel and shipping - but when retrograde, all these areas become confusing and out of sync. It's not the time to set anything new into motion.
You will be feeling energetic and in a festive mood, so direct your actions toward socializing while you have time. Jupiter and Uranus in your short-distance travel sector will allow you to pick up and go at will, often for work, but at other times for personal fun.
Have your car tuned up by a professional mechanic this month, because with Mars and the Sun in hard angle to Uranus and Mercury in retrograde, you could experience mechanical problems or a flat tire if you aren't careful. Your most problematic days will be December 3, 17, and 21.
The new moon December 5 will fall in your most private part of your chart ruling meditation and reflection, and will be the perfect time to begin to plot your course for the coming year, but include in those plans what you want to clear out, both physical and emotional. Keep plans flexible until January when you can firm things up. Early January brings an eclipse in Capricorn and until it has spoken, you would be wise to wait.
Before that happens, there will be a full moon lunar eclipse December 21, in the last degree of Gemini, adding a note of pandemonium in your workplace. A key co-worker or subordinate will leave the company very suddenly. (It is also possible someone you hire at home could quit, such as a babysitter or housekeeper.)
This will add more work to your shoulders in the practical sense, of course, but the real impact will be the emotional effect it will have for losing this person in your everyday environment. You may be shocked that this person (most likely a woman) didn't tell you she was leaving. Assignments are likely to change too, and you may lose a client, but you may also gain a new one later.
If your birthday falls within five days of December 21, this lunar eclipse could have another, second manifestation, because of its direct out-of-sign opposition to your Sun. You may see a close relationship reach fullness, either bringing you both to greater closeness or to separation or breakup. Eclipses are very black-and-white, depending on conditions they uncover. As is always the case, an eclipse will bring truth to the surface and help you make sense of past events.
Uranus will be in hard angle to the Sun and moon at the time of the eclipse December 21, suggesting that a clear communication will be in short supply. It also suggests that something you wrote or said could come back to haunt you now. Don't write anything in email or social media that you wouldn't want the world to see, because at this eclipse, everything will become public.
Romantically this is a wild card month, and because you have been through quite a bit with a relationship in 2009 and 2010, you may want to take things slow and easy. Certainly with Venus in your house of social events you will have more than your share of holiday invitations from friends and family, and by all means, you should accept.
Dates to Note for Capricorn:
Mercury will be retrograde in Capricorn from December 10 to 30, but you will feel the effects of Mercury out of phase from December 1 onward.
Bring in your vehicle to your mechanic for routine maintenance this month. You could have car problems on the road due to Uranus square Mars (December 3) and square the Sun and Mercury (December 21) and Mercury retrograde all month. Pack a spare, too.
Although you should not initiate anything this month, you can start to think about changes and initiations you would like to make in January. Sketch your plans in pencil, for you will need to change some, many, or all of them later.
The lunar eclipse of December 21 will fall in your sixth house of work assignments and seems to bring news of a co-worker or subordinate's departure. This person may be part of your office or home life (such as a nanny). Projects will change at the last minute at the eclipse. A client may leave, but later a new one will arrive.
Strive for very clear communication all month, but doubly so near December 3, 17, and 21.
Those Capricorns born early in their sign (within four days of December 21) may additionally see some relationship turbulence. A miscommunication could light a fuse, so make sure you say what you mean. Write no emails or messages on social media that can hurt you or another.
Your best romantic evenings will be: December 2, 7, 8, 11-12, 16, 17, 25, 30, and 31.
