Starsky+Cox's 2006 Zodiac

December 2006

ARIES Act Two. A dream project you’d shelved gets a booster shot; and though compromise is key, altering your vision to satisfy angels, this pursuit can now come to fruition. When at wits end, the secret is to expand not pull back. The full Moon, the 5th, rallies a troupe to your aid, while the new Moon, the 20th, means curtains for a lingering can’t-do attitude.	LIBRA As part of your ever-unfolding utopian vision, you seek a community of people now, with whom you can share a wealth of information and enjoyment. The full Moon, the 5th, in brings to light any psychological blocks which have prevented you from getting close to people. Saturn’s retrograde garners respect for your hard work in humanistic endeavors.
TAURUS Get a clue. You’re a sleuth now as cosmic energy in the mysterious part of your chart riddles your life with puzzles screaming to be solved. For starters, financial conundrums reveal themselves. And some, shall we say, erotic enigma’s also unravel. Just in time as Mars busting into your sexual sector requires full disclosure and straightforward action.	SCORPIO Cleaning out your closets, real and metaphoric, is prescribed by planetary positions now. You’ve cluttered your life on all metaphysical levels, trying to quantify your worth with stuff to the detriment of a quality of life. Impulsive Mercury inspires actual and emotional clearing. And by the new Moon, the 20th, your mind is free of confusion, your soul, free.
GEMINI You join the karmic police now, righting wrongs and doling out retribution as you see fit. Forget that new fangled turn-the-other-cheek jazz, yours is an eye-for-an-eye policy, full stop. Partners should especially beware your sword of righteousness. While punitive Saturn, in retrograde, helps form a posse to run fakes, phonies and philanders out of town.	SAGITTARIUS Seeing is believing. You gain new perspective on the world now, blessed by insight into success that automatically translates into active leaps of faith. Mercury gives you the golden gift of speaking your mind, convincingly. And Venus, from the 11th, casts a spell so that you’re seen as the personification of a valuable commodity and a vision of beauty.
CANCER In a world of artificial intelligentsia, you find such posturing fatuous now, realizing, with a start, that you too have been shooting off sparks of effete puffery. Mental rewiring is in order if you’re to stick to the program: To be of use and have genuine, not armchair, experiences. With the new moon, the 20th, an improved you springs off the assembly line.	CAPRICORN Retreat! You’re giving up the struggle now, trading in your Capricorn Jeanne D’Arc armor for some serious soul asylum. Even warrior Mars, in your spiritual 12th house, bids you hold vigil, meditating on your goals rather than attacking them. Indeed, your best offensive now comes through defending your peace of mind and putting health first.
LEO Life is oft a gamble. And cosmic activity hits that fact home as the efficacy of creative endeavors, especially those involving or geared to children, are a crap shoot. In other, non G-rated news, love affairs are a source of excitement now, and even longstanding bonds benefit from taking new chances. Mars in your 5th house sparks your competitive spirit.	AQUARIUS Count yourself in. Involvement with a collective is cosmically favored as strength is found in numbers, now, particularly in conscious pursuits aimed at social progress. Ironically, you realize how much more individualistic you emerge while in vast company. And by the new Moon, the 20th, you may be the widely adored face of a radical new order.
VIRGO You like life in little boxes. Look at your closets. But the fact is, life is chaotic, or rather a series of rhythmic ebbs and flows, the surrender to which elicits a fuller range of feeling and thus increased understanding of your emotional intelligence. Or dare we say genius: Mercury and Mars in your 4th house articulate the hot and heavy sentiments of your soul.	PISCES Moisturize your elbows, because you rub them now with people in high places. Societal motivations have never carried much weight, and though you find the concept of social rank archaic, you see the benefit of drawing room etiquette as a means of effecting your cultural aims. Saturn’s retrograde in your 6th packs your daily planner with obligations.
