Madame G guide to the stars WEEK OF DECEMBER 1

Print

Light up the sky! The month’s only Supermoon appears on Dec. 3. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, “the Full Moon is [at its] closest distance to Earth causing the Moon to appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual.” Madame G recommends you take advantage of the light in the sky and allow it to show you the way. Start New Year’s early.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Instead of waiting to start something new next year, do it now. Don’t wait to start that diet or take that incredible vacation someday. There is no time like the present. The only difference between Dec.1 and Jan. 1 is 31 days. You don’t need to wait around for the start of a new year to become who you’ve always wanted to be. Do it now and live better next year. Do it!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Have you considered taking a walk? If not, why not? There is nothing worse than being cooped up all day in an office or on the job without the opportunity to breathe some fresh air. Take a moment to revel in your life and accomplishments. What would you like to do next? If you’re looking to improve your life, this is the moment in time you need to discover your passion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

So, you’re hoping for the best and expecting the worst. There’s nothing wrong with that. Many people consider that to be a realistic view point. Just don’t get bogged down. Failure is inevitable. You don’t need to beat yourself up. In fact, smile and take a bow. You tried, and that beats out everybody who didn’t. Next time will be better no matter what!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You’re heading off in the right direction. You don’t know what the next step is, but you’re looking forward to the journey. That’s definitely the right attitude. You can’t get to your destination without taking a first step—so you might as well enjoy it. In fact, when all is said and done, you’re likely to remember the journey with greater fondness than the destination. Go forth!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

What are you waiting for? There’s nothing wrong with being happy in the moment and enjoying everything you have. Gratitude is the greatest measure of a life and you have it in abundance. You don’t need to vilify the past or worry about others—you’re allowed to bask in the warmth of happiness. Take pride in your work. Don’t worry about a thing. You’ve earned it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be on the hunt for the next best thing and that’s great. But what’s missing? If you’re looking for a purpose reflect on your childhood dreams. What inspires you? What makes you cry and weep with joy? What would you do for free? Instead of wishing for a time when you could reach out and touch the stars, just do it. Do it now! Show no fear, for you are a mighty warrior.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

You can’t take all the blame, nor can you place it all upon the heads of others. If you wish that others would consider your perspective, first consider theirs. You are not the keeper of knowledge and wisdom. You are a fallible human being with as much capacity for greatness as failure. It all depends on perspective, so go outside and get some. See past yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ve organized and thought this through. You realize the next step is the most important. You can’t just keep leap frogging from one thing to the other. The key is progress. It’s important to finish projects as they come and grow with them. You DO NOT require perfection. But you do need the ability to motivate yourself when all hope seems to be gone. Do not falter. Get up!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a strange and terrible land. You feel you’re moving forward while falling down a cliff. This is to be expected. You have the right idea—it’s all turned upside down. Instead of wallowing in self-pity now is the time for well thought out action. Take yourself seriously and others will. You must become who you want and this will require sacrifice. You can do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your heart is in the right place. Is your head? You may feel a bit confused and that is understandable, but you can clear it up. Instead of making mountains out of mole hills, consider how you can live better. Stop worrying about how others live and start taking care of yourself. Your first duty is always to put the mask on before someone else beats you to it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re right that this is silly. But you may not have a choice. You can’t expect others to give themselves fully if you are only giving half. The world doesn’t honor cowards—it rewards heroes. It’s time to look deeply into your heart and ask what you really are. You may not need the praise of millions to have worth, but you at least require your own good opinion.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. You might have missed the first part, but consider that this may not work as well on humans. If you notice a pattern in others, you might be the common factor. It might seem like the world is out to get you, but you might be throwing the first punch. Stop and reflect. What do you really want in this world? Don’t be silly. Try again and again.
