Today's lunation illuminates your financial and pleasure zones, making indulgence feel both tempting and justified. Whether you decide to treat yourself or spoil someone special, generosity feels good and may even open unexpected doors. A hidden opportunity, bonus or clever money-making idea could reveal itself when you least expect it. The key is balance, so enjoy life's finer things without overspending.

With the Moon glowing in your sign and forming a gentle sextile to generous Jupiter in Cancer, the universe is offering you a comforting hug and a lovely dose of optimism. Everything feels a little easier, a little warmer and a lot more meaningful. Emotional connections deepen, and simple pleasures such as good food, good company and laughter seem to shine brighter than ever.

The cosmos urges a little soul excavation, especially if there's a secret, habit or unspoken worry quietly draining your energy. If so, it's time to face it, knowing this is the best way forward. Today Mars gives you the strength to dig deep, while its angle to Chiron offers healing once you can fully embrace this matter. Don't shy away from what's uncomfortable, as accepting it is the key to freedom.

You do appreciate solid friends and can make allowances for the odd foible, knowing that none of us is perfect. Yet if one person, or even a romantic interest, proves to be just too demanding or controlling - as the month goes on, that part of you which has embraced a more individual way of being in recent times can be triggered, and may see you wanting to enjoy more personal freedom and space. If this doesn't show up for you, the last ten days of December can give you a greater than usual appetite for travel and new experiences. And whether it is winter sun or snow, it could prove a lot of fun.
