Your holidays are filled with mishaps of epic proportions. From the short work week ending in chaos with you taking time off at the wrong time and shoving work onto someone else‘s plate, to the various run ins and weird conversations you keep having with people outside of your inner friend circle it‘s been a week that will go down in history as one of the craziest in your life. You‘re not even sure how you managed to get here, with full moon on Christmas Day people in your life are acting weirder than usual, it seems like they‘re trying to get one last ho, ho, ho out of you before changing their lives entirely. You‘re not sure why people are treating you so oddly when for all intents and purposes you think you‘re being pretty fair. You‘re living up to your obligations for once, being there for the family, friends and partner, not saying things to ignite the anger of people you‘ve never quite gotten along with, but there are these texts from people you haven‘t really seen or spoken to in a long time, and you‘re wondering why now? Why bother when you‘re with people you feel you belong with, and you‘ve moved on? Do yourself a favor, don‘t go for the booty call, don‘t be fooled by the break up sex, just let the past stay in the past. Ascendant: Taking the high road? That‘s for the birds.

You love this time of year, no matter where you are it‘s a time for family and friends to come together, celebrate being in each other‘s lives and eat food you don‘t usually eat the rest of the year. You‘re most excited about the gift exchange, being able to see the look on the faces of your co-workers when you rock the secret Santa, and when the young people in your life open presents specially chosen for them. You will be spending some time over the weekend focused on your partner, one of the people closest to you and pulling out every romantic stop you can for them because you truly want them to know how special they are to you. The short work week helps because you really can‘t think of anything else over the week, work projects being halted in favor of holiday cheer. You know that when you get back to it in the new year there‘s going to be a lot of awful deadlines. You‘re mostly happy for the few days off, the need to celebrate another year, and to look forward to your future. This is a week of cozy comforts and doting on others closest to you. You‘ll have the gift of gab, being able to talk to everyone, even the people you find more difficult. Ascendant: Spread the holiday cheer!

It always takes the holidays for you to remember your place in the world. You‘re feeling a little sad about the job you‘re working, because you don‘t have a higher position right now, or you‘re a newbie again, or facing new challenges. On the other hand, you‘ve burned so many bridges again and again with your family and loved ones that spending any time with them over the holidays feels more like a walk to the gallows than actual fun. You want to lift this cloud of despair by cracking jokes and seeming to be the funny one in the crowd, but you‘re going to end up offending someone. Take this time to focus on the tasks at work you need to complete before having a long weekend. It might help you if you stay focused on one task at a time rather than allowing yourself to be bombarded by every emotion and feeling all at once. You‘ve got a brilliant mind, you can talk your way out of most anything, but when you don‘t feel like you are where you belong in life, that‘s a huge braying alarm to do something about it. If on the other hand you‘re simply upset that you‘re always starting something new, maybe sticking it out this time will help you create some true roots with people. It‘s all about letting go and allowing good things into your life. You can get through this.Ascendant: Decide how you feel, is this jitters or something more?

If you thought this week would be a walk in the park you‘re very wrong. The work week offers some unexpected worries that have you not wanting to take a day off for things like holidays and families. You know what your co-workers think of you, and how you rarely mesh well with other people unless you‘re trying very hard. If taking all the extra work will help people to like you more then you‘ll do it, but you don‘t want to step on toes, and you‘re not even sure if the opportunity will be presented to you. So you‘re stuck in limbo, do you do more and work an extra day to make up for some mistakes you made or do you leave well enough alone and hope for the best? You‘re stuck with the holidays taking up your long weekend and some of the people you work with taking extended vacations. On the home front things seem to be the same old, same old. You maintain good relationships with family and friends and can always count on them being there for you when it truly matters. You‘ll be lamenting your concerns about life over the weekend and gaining some much needed perspective from unlikely sources. Sadly, you won‘t be caught kissing anyone under the mistletoe but you won‘t have any major blow outs with anyone either. Coming through unscathed? That‘s a true testament to how much people respect and adore you. Remember that.Ascendant: Don‘t do more just to make up for mistakes, do it because you want to put your best foot forward.

You don‘t know who can trust anymore and who you can be yourself around. At work you‘re so used to being what everyone needs, whether that‘s the counselor, the boss, the advocate, or the idealist. You have just as much creativity and skills to share as the next person, but your smorgasbord list of skills always makes you spread yourself too thin and the result is that all projects suffer because you don‘t have the time to really focus on one thing. If you weren‘t so bombarded and stressed out by all the things you take on all of the time you wouldn‘t be feeling so overwhelmed about losing a work day this week and shoving back meetings, and progress to after the New Year. Sure, you‘ll get through the holiday kerfuffles like a boss, you‘ll spend time with the family, be close with your partner and live through another gift giving and receiving day. You‘ll smile and nod, whilst worrying that there‘s too much work to do and not enough time to do it. You‘ll end off your weekend being a little bitter and isolated while you sort through work e-mails a do a little work on your home computer that really you should just save until you go back to work. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the holidays. Ascendant: Nobody likes a constant worry wart.

You always dislike the holidays because it‘s not like you get to have a short work week and go home to dinner already being cooked by other family members and mistletoe being hung and decorations everywhere. You swear, if you don‘t go into storage and take all of that out yourself, nothing ever gets done. Fortunately, you try to pace yourself, getting it done well before the day of reckoning. This year you‘re a little behind on things, and you want to do more than you have before. So this means some late nights of last minute baking for the workplace followed by making sure there‘s enough for the family gathering, and then prepping the big dinner, while also coordinating how everyone will get from point A to point B. You‘re the master of schedules, who will drive whom, airfares booked, who will stay in whom‘s houses, so on and so forth. You hope you won‘t have to come up against any winter storms, or that anyone decides to snub your generosity and not show up. You‘re determined to have a good week and not to let anyone sully it. If that means you have to hang up the phone a few times when people start in on topics that often lead to arguments, then so be it. You‘re doing a lot more than everyone else and your hard work shouldn‘t go unnoticed. Ascendant: Let the little ones help you out, they like feeling important too.

You were going through turmoil before the holidays and now that they‘re approaching quicker than ever you‘re feeling a lot more like you don‘t know what direction you‘re heading in. For the most part you will keep the things in your life that make sense, things that help you make money, keep your bills paid like your job and possibly your spouse, but when it comes to all the useless things you get yourself wrapped up in, you‘ll be letting a lot of those things go. It might be time to say goodbye to a few hobbies, bad friendships and routines that only lead to destruction (like going to the bar too much or neglecting people who matter.) You need to learn how to do this adulting thing a bit better, making sure you‘re waking up at reasonable times, self-motivating before heading into work, and staying focused on the things that are truly important. You don‘t need to be the center of attention; you don‘t need people to follow your lead. You simply need to work on getting from point A to point B without wandering off to other points along the way, and back tracking and confusing the heck out of everyone who cares about you. Over the weekend, shut up and listen to the people around you. They have some very good things to say to you and advice you need to hear. Ascendant: Put up and shut up.

Sometimes you like the tried, true and traditional methods that are sure to please. This week you‘re walking on eggshells at work trying not to step on other toes or aggravate people because contrary to popular belief you know you can be abrasive at times and you know it sets people off. You are attempting to bring as much holiday cheer to the world as you can this week so you‘re going to hold your tongue and allow people to say what‘s on their mind without correcting them, criticizing them or judging them. Okay you will probably judge silently, but that‘s just because you‘re you and you can‘t help it. The work week seems to go by really fast, because you spend most of your time immersed in projects than actually interacting with other people. Come the weekend and "the big day" you‘re feel nostalgic, wishing you could turn back time and relive some of the good moments in your life that made an impact on who you‘ve become today. The full moon has a few people acting weird, and this second wave of Capricorn energy has you feeling more judgmental than you have in a long time. Reining it in and giving people the benefit of the doubt is tough. Ascendant: Everyone makes mistakes, even you.

You‘re going to burst you‘re so full of love and admiration, spirit, inspiration and joy. You feel like you‘ve finally conquered some of your demons, managed to snag the spotlight for brief moments in time, and you‘re actually living up to your potential to some degree. It‘s nice to feel success for a change, and to be good enough for yourself. You‘re very good at putting yourself down, thinking you can‘t possibly do the things other people do, but look at you! You can kick ass and take names like the best of them. Of course, it doesn‘t serve you to do some of the tougher things when it comes to work but you can fire people if you‘re passionate enough about the reasons they need to be fired. You can be a leader if you try, it just takes a certain amount of focus from you. This week you worry more about leading people at work to happiness, making them feel like they are all appreciated for what they do. You like the team effort that occurs in your workplace and you can‘t imagine others not feeling like they are part of the team. Come the long weekend you‘re spreading that joy to your loved ones and pulling people together, solving arguments before they happen because you can anticipate other‘s needs. You‘re very gifted and talented, give yourself a pat on the back.Ascendant: You deserve a round of applause for a job well done.

From doing things for other people to doing everyone else‘s work you‘ve really got the work week from hell happening here. Sure it‘s great that other people booked time off, but they didn‘t bother to have the common courtesy to get their work done, instead putting it all on your plate? You‘re resenting the four days you have to get all of this done, and it‘s not even long term projects which you enjoy working on, this is really the grunt work, the things you often delegate to other people because at your level of education and status in the workplace some of this is actually below you. You don‘t want to have a terrible time during the holidays, so you‘re sucking it up, planning your escape and hoping that people know since they dumped this on you now, that they are going to get it back in spades. You‘re all about self-actualizing your karma by teaching people lessons when they need to learn them. The only unfortunate thing is that even though you thought you were all prepared for the holidays, there are a few things you let slide and it‘s going to be a pain in the ass to get yourself back on track in general. At least you have loved ones around you over the long weekend who want to help you. The full moon puts you in a mood like everything has to be done now, and with the added Capricorn energy from the Sun you‘re feeling like nothing will ever get done on time. They need to add an extra hour to the day don‘t you think? It would make things easier. Ascendant: Oh no, just add it to the giant list of things you already have to get through, it‘s fine.

You‘re often a lead by example person, or a lead by what not to do person, so when you find people standing up for you, and defending your mistakes you‘re a little standoffish because you‘re used to being the perfect example of imperfection. It seems however that in the midst of your misfitery you‘ve actually managed to do something right. It‘s a weird feeling as the sun moves into Capricorn on Wednesday and you‘re feeling like you might actually be able to salvage the things you broke, or you were over reacting and everything isn‘t as bad as you thought it was. At work you‘re enjoying this new lease on life within the co-worker and boss population, where on the home front the changes in your attitude and behavior have gone a long way right the things that were broken. You‘ll be spending the long weekend in the middle of a full moon, which has you being more passionate than you‘ve been in a long time. You want to show the person you love just how you feel, and where you‘re usually an intellectual and intuitive creature, this weekend you will be intensely physical about what you want. Ascendant: Maybe it wasn‘t that bad?

You like living to the beat of your own drum. It works for you, and anyone that doesn‘t understand that obviously doesn‘t know what it‘s like to be idealistic all of the freaking time. It‘s okay, being misunderstood is common for you. It‘s like being creative, that comes naturally for you, and you don‘t know what kind of person you‘d be without your vivid imagination and strong convictions about the world. Of course, that tends to set you apart from others, but it also makes you unique. You simply need to let that shine more often. On the work front this week you‘re in and out of consciousness, not really paying attention because you can‘t do that for long periods of time or you go a little crazy. When the sun moves into Capricorn on Wednesday you‘re feeling stronger and more confident about being yourself, but you don‘t want other people to know what‘s been going on in your life or inside your mind. This becomes a bit of a pickle come the holidays, the long weekend and the full moon at the best and worst of times. You know the full moon always messes with your emotions and this isn‘t the time to be having an emotion attack while in the middle of family dinners and the entire world not being focused on you. You need to shine, you don‘t need to freak out and bring the wrong kind of attention to yourself. That always makes it worse, you need your base, your foundation in life, and then you need people to accept that you‘re a little different. You don‘t ask for a lot. Ascendant: If only people tried to understand
