You may feel like you're invisible or waiting on the sidelines when December begins. The powerful Sun and energizing Mars are in your 12th House of Secrets where attention is less likely to come your way. The first shift occurs on December 7 when Mars moves into your sign and the 1st House of Dynamics in your chart. This is a great time to commit to healthy practices and the discipline to master new skills. Mars is passionate and its presence in your sign warms you with desire. While this gives you the drive to push ahead in relationships it may be a bit more than some people can bear. Be aware of who you're with and whether he or she is at ease with your level of intensity.

On December 21 the Sun enters Capricorn, adding another degree of power to your personality. You could become the center of attention as your will grows along with your creativity and self-confidence. All of this strength should make you more attractive but don't let it blur the facts.

Mercury, the messenger planet, turns retrograde in Capricorn on December 10 and will backpedal until turning direct in Sagittarius on December 29. This marks a time when information flows strangely to confuse conversations and overlook important details. Agreements made during this period could be based on false expectations, so it's vital to be extra clear in your own mind before making any promises or believing everything that someone else has to say.
