This might be a good time to abandon some of your cautious ways. If you give yourself permission to stretch some of your relationship rules you may be rewarded with a bigger dose of love. That's because passionate Mars is pushing your inner limits as it moves through boundless Sagittarius in your 4th House of Roots. Broadening your horizons starts inside by imagining partnerships that are more spacious and adventurous.

On December 7, Mars marches into orderly Capricorn but this occurs in your 5th House of Romance to encourage you to keep pushing forward in pursuit of pleasure. Still, your tendency toward playing it safe comes in handy since your ruling planet Mercury will be retrograde December 10 - 29, which tends to confuse conversations and complicate details. It seems, then, that managed boldness is an excellent way to run your personal life this month. Big plans for good times make sense but require that you know exactly what you're doing every step of the way. For many people love is about letting go and allowing emotions to sweep them away. December is almost the opposite for you in that the clearer you are about where you stand the more magical your heart connections can be.

The Sun's shift into Capricorn and your 5th house on December 21 reinforces your sense of purpose and your ability to create the kind of relationship you want. Whether you get it all right now or not, you're drawing a map to love that will help you find it in the future.
