Ok, the bad news is that I didn’t win the Powerball lottery, in spite of the fact that I used my Numerology lucky numbers. Perhaps Numerology shouldn’t be used for monetary gain? Hmph. But the good news is, the December horoscopes are in and it’s looking pretty good.

November was bumpy, with Mercury Retrograde and Hurricane Sandy and that gnarly Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at the end. But December opens with the Sun in optimistic Sagittarius, and then mental Mercury and loving Venus follow into the same happy-go-lucky sign mid-month.

Our spirit for adventure will get another big boost with the Sagittarius New Moon on December 13, and it all adds up to feeling free and adventurous and mostly carefree right on through the holidays.

Relationships may experience a few bumps here and there — after all, when people are feeling so restless it’s possible to create situations where dissatisfaction or jealousy could arise. But if we can keep our hearts in an easy-breeze place and just remember to enjoy one another, it will blow right over.

Things will become a little more serious toward months end, when the Sun moves into Capricorn on December 21. But it’s not the end of the world — literally. No, the world won’t end on that infamous day, but it is a major turning point as we enter winter and bring the holidays home.

Overall, I’m excited about December and ready for a mental break from all the deep analysis Scorpio has been driving me to do. I’m exhausted, are you?

Take a little break and read your December Horoscopes! Hey, maybe even try that lottery thing again while the Sun is shining in the luckiest sign!
