December Horoscopes

December: Out with a Bang, Baby!

Expect dramatic ups and downs during the final month of 2008. Let's start with the ups: Venus's graceful, girlie vibe turns the early part of December into a beauty fest. Spruce up your look for the New Year -- you'll receive plenty of positive feedback. The downs: Aunt Susie's triple-decker chocolate cake, the deep-fried fritters at the office party, and the bottomless well of flavored martinis. Holiday indulgences threaten to hit you squarely in the hips, thanks to Jupiter's "heavyweight" presence. And speaking of the holidays, traveling turns sour when troublemaking Mars teams with Mercury, foreman of transportation and communication. Expect long delays, lost luggage, dead cell phones, and poor Internet service. A full moon in Gemini on the 12th brings trouble to a head. Not to worry, you'll have a fresh start in the form of a new moon on the 27th that falls in level-headed Capricorn.
