Libra

As December opens, your ruler Venus leaves Libra and turns attention toward what you value. Its stay in Scorpio highlights income, possessions and self-worth, and a square to Pluto may weigh a romance or creative passion against your need for security. The New Moon in Sagittarius on December 9 suits a course, a piece of writing or a conversation you have been postponing, and Mercury's passage through the same sign keeps messages and short trips busy. Partnerships find firmer ground as well. Saturn turns direct in your relationship area on December 10, with Neptune turning direct on December 12, so a bond that felt uncertain may show its real shape. Your instinct to initiate can help here, as long as you let the other person set part of the pace. Home and family may call for more of your time once the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21, while the Full Moon in Cancer on December 24 lights up career goals. Balancing the two could be the month's real art. In the final days, a square from the Sun to Saturn may ask you to draw a fair line between family duties and a partner's expectations.
