Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a
child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

December 2008 Horoscope
Lunations - Trends for All Signs
FULL MOON occurs on December 12, 2008 @ 11:37:09 AM EST
This Full Moon in Gemini is part of a Grand Square in the mutable signs with Saturn, the Sun and Uranus. Ideas for change and progress will flourish but bonafide decisions to execute these modifications will prove evasive. The Moon forms trines to both Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius indicating that our hopes and faith for a healing of the planet will be on everyone's lips! Preserving our resources and improving our desire for wellness as well as new strides in affordable health care top the list!
NEW MOON occurs on December 27, 2008 @ 7:22:3 AM EST
This New Moon in Capricorn as it kisses the Sun forms no major aspect in the lunation chart on the Eastern Seaboard. This is a time when your personality and your very soul stand strong in what you have established both within you and around you. Patience, tradition and honoring those persons and institutions that reflect integrity will be seen on a Global scale. A "wait and see" attitude coupled with a conservative attitude toward dramatic change will be the social flavor as we ring in the New Year.
PLANETARY INSIGHTS!
The Full Moon on December 12th, 2008 reveals that both Mars and the Sun in Sagittarius are conjunct Sabik, the Fire Star! Fiery weapons, arson and potentially violent and vengeful acts can occur. This is a volatile configuration with these planets being posited in the Tenth House of the Lunation chart. The Tenth House rules government as well as establishments and institutions. Heads of State and political figures can also be in danger! The Sun rules Leo and President Bush has Leo Rising with Mercury, Pluto and Venus posited in his First House and resident Elect Barack Obama was born with a Leo Sun, Mercury and Uranus! Expect to see more dramatic threats and precautions in the news. The emphasis is on protecting our leaders! Be alert if traveling!
(Note: If you know your Rising Sign or Moon Sign, read that section, too!)
ARIES MAR 20 - APR 20

GEMINI MAY 21 - JUN 21
This Full Moon is in your sign but your ruler, Mercury, is kissing Pluto in the first degree of Capricorn! You will still "feel" like a Gemini, but your mind turns to practical and long lasting solutions. In all dealings it is best for you to get two estimates or a second opinion before you move into action. Beware of blurting out the misinformation of others. Tact requires effort now. At New Moon, your ruler is much later in Capricorn and conjunct Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and abundance. It is an excellent time to socialize but be cautious about who you confide in and your levels of intimacy at this time. Chilly encounters thaw in March!

Authority without the support, feedback and fine tuning of those you serve proves VERY hazardous now. Know when to roar and when to retire to your lair. At New Moon, your ruler is kissing the Moon in Capricorn and this conjunction is unaspected. It is a time of deliberation, not action. It is a time to stand by your allies and hold witness to the big picture before you may begin to execute changes. It is a time to veil your power and evaluate before claiming dominion.

LIBRA SEP 23 - OCT 23

Karma sometimes gives comfort even if the old aches are felt and acknowledged. At New Moon, your ruler is conjunct Neptune and Chiron and trine to the Midheaven on the Eastern Seaboard. This is a time to share your ideals, intellect and philosophy with kindred spirits. In any gathering expect one or two wet blankets - but they prove to be merely minor annoyances. Look for backup from a charming ally!
SCORPIO OCT 23 - NOV 22
This is an intense Full Moon for you, Scorpio!

To top it off, both rulers are angling outward from the Tenth House of established strength and the public! If you have been considering taking a stand on what you believe and bringing your expertise into the public eye, this is the time! At New Moon, your rulers are in early Capricorn and combust! They are not forming any major aspects in this lunation chart. Work your plans with great dedication and focus behind the scenes. Prove yourself with honor!
 SAGITTARIUS NOV 22 - DEC 21
Happy Solar Return! This is your month! Your ruler, Jupiter, is in Capricorn this Full Moon and forming a beautiful trine to Saturn in Virgo. This is an excellent time to apply the knowledge you have accumulated by moving up and really enjoying repartee with colleagues with similar goals. Roll out the red carpet! At New Moon, your ruler is unaspected to planets but is forming a square to the Midheaven of the lunation chart.

Uranus, your ruler, is in Pisces opposing Saturn in Virgo all month and in a Mutable Grand Square to the Lights! Blending imagination and precision with multiple versions is seen! If you own your own business, this is a great time to diversify; if you are employed by someone, it is a great time to present some new ideas. Not everything you come up with will get total approval - but this is a time for you to ride the coattails of positive change. At New Moon, you may receive more than one New Years Eve invitation for some festive fun! The lunation chart seems to focus on both a quiet dinner and romance and them off to a party to beat the band! Have a fabulous time!
PISCES FEB 19 - MAR 20
Your ruler, Neptune, is conjunct Chiron in Aquarius and in sextile to both Mars and the Sun in Sagittarius! Your usual humanitarian aspirations are brightened by this cycle.
