Christmas at Sea

The Pisces moon recalls the oceanic themes of Robert Louis Stevenson's poem "Christmas at Sea,": "The frost was on the village roofs as white as ocean foam; The good red fires were burning bright in every 'long-shore home." Holiday emotions run deeper, and even small exchanges seem rich in contrast and color. A romantic, wistful and mystical glow settles over everything.

ARIES

March 21-April 19

You're gifted with initiative. While others wait for a cue, you sense the moment and jump. And if the scene is missing a leader, you'll make the call to action, plot the plans and move with the boldness others will model themselves after.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

You're gifted with taste. You're drawn to the good stuff, and you elevate everything you touch. Today, you'll use your fine discernment and some practical magic to help someone else shine, which only doubles your own glow.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

You're gifted with decisiveness. Here or there? This one or that? You do a quick read of the moment and know within seconds which way to take it. You choose with a light heart, and all roads converge in happiness.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

You're gifted with deep feelings. Know that they are a raw form of power. Anything that dulls or distracts you from letting a feeling come through limits your power. You're brave and ready to face more, feel more and be more.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22

You're gifted with creativity. Unusual ways you celebrate the day? Wear something symbolic or odd. Give someone a random compliment that has creative logic. Switch topics based on intuition. It all makes people happy, especially you.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22

You're gifted with bravery. You live authentically, communicate honestly, notice and face life instead of turning away. The courage is in you, steady as your heartbeat. When you need it, just listen — it's been there all along.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 23

You're gifted with social savvy. Sometimes it's about knowing the rules, and sometimes it's about serving the mood of the room. You sense the emotional temperature and know exactly how to warm it or cool it to bring all in to a dreamy harmony.

SCORPIO

Oct. 24-Nov. 21

You're gifted with leadership. Often your influence is nearly indetectable, even by you, because you lead through inspiration, not dominance. You model and they copy you. The exchange may be subtle, but the results are undeniably real.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov. 22-Dec. 21

You're gifted with blithe spirit. You bring hope, humor and a touch of wild possibility wherever you go. You'll lighten the mood with stories of adventures past and plans for adventures future. You remind people that joy is a choice.

CAPRICORN

Dec. 22-Jan. 19

You're gifted with unwavering focus. You don't have to try hard because this power comes naturally to you and works like gravity to keep your goals orbiting close. Today a subtle but potent action will shift your future toward the dream.

AQUARIUS

Jan. 20-Feb. 18

You're gifted with charm. You'll listen more than you respond, but when you respond, it's not what they were expecting. You follow the emotional thread, the imaginative thread or the absurdist thread. It makes you unpredictable in the best way.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20

You're gifted with compassion. In your heart of hearts, you know people aren't so much "good" or "bad" as they are "conscious" or "unconscious." Your compassion contributes to the wholeness of the world.
