In this magical month, you will see your career explode with all kinds of amazingly good news! You've worked long and hard, and now, as reward, everything appears to reach critical mass, allowing you to rise to a whole new level of influence. Respect and admiration will follow you. Dear Pisces, you're on your way - and all this will come with a vastly improved financial picture, too. Look your best, because all eyes will be on YOU. You may even be asked to meet the press!

What makes this month so special for your career is that the Sun (favor from authority), Mercury (news and agreements), Jupiter (good fortune), and Pluto (wealth) have arrived in your 10th house of fame. These happy planets have been gathering in anticipation of a party to wish Jupiter adieu as he gets ready to pack his bags and move on to your 11th house of friendships, people, and events, something we will talk about later in your report.

Jupiter, planet of good fortune, has been in your career zone all year, and that was news because 2007 marked his first visit in this house since 1995. He won't be back again until 2018. Don't be sad, because all year Jupiter has been busy preparing you for a whole new 10-year career cycle. Judging by your chart, this month it will be very evident that you're already on your way!

All the planets now in your prestigious house of career status are awaiting the arrival of the new moon on December 9. Once she arrives, she will rally the energy of all those planets and the party will begin. As a gift to you, Jupiter will create one final big opportunity as a last minute surprise - something truly spectacular to mark his final moments with you in your career house before he moves on!

Jupiter has decided to meet with Pluto on December 11 on your behalf, a hugely important aspect that astrologers all over the world have been looking forward to for years. Whenever these two planets meet in conjunction, as they will on that day, it always spells success. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet both have this aspect in their natal charts, signifying that they will enjoy the financial benefits of this conjunction all the time, but regular people (like you and me) can enjoy it to the fullest now. Make it work for you!

The fact that this conjunction comes AFTER the new moon is very propitious for it reveals that you are looking at a very lucrative new professional situation to begin in the months to come. Pluto often takes a little time to get things in place, but when things are ready, the offer will come. It will be up to you to run with the banner, but you will because the opportunity to do well will be so juicy. You will likely see signs of emerging situations now, so pay attention!

Pluto rules your publishing and broadcasting house, as well as relationships with people in foreign countries, so the opportunity that comes up may emanate from one or more of these areas. In fact, you may need to go overseas in the year to come to see a high level individual face-to-face.

View this amazing day on December 11 - possibly your most important career day of your life - not as "just a day" to take advantage of, but the day the universe plants a seed, one that will grow for years to come. Take offers and discussions seriously, particularly the ones that surface from December 9 to 11. During the coming years, you will have a chance to embellish, change, tweak, or make other decisions concerning your new endeavor at certain key mathematical points.

It's almost assured that your creative projects will reach an important phase, and that public interest in your work will be strong. You may have assumed no one noticed what you were doing with such passion, but you'll see - they did and have been quite impressed with it! This includes your adoring public AND influential people, both!

Sign a business agreement or contract in the days leading to the conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto, December 1-10. If you can't, choose another sterling time of the month, Friday, December 20, when Mercury (agreements) will be conjunct Jupiter (luck).

Actually, December 20 will be great for making ANY kind of promises, even promises of love in engagement or marriage. I like the beginning of the month for major career matters, but if the other side simply cannot get the legal department to draw up the contract quickly enough, then go with this second date, December 20.

December 20 will be lucky for another reason - you will get a nice boost to your home or family project, too. You may buy something for your home to make it more fun (a flat screen TV), comfy (a new soft and cushy couch), or beautiful (a piece of fine framed photography for your foyer). Those are just a few examples, but you get the idea. Your mom or dad may get some good news, too.

Romantically, December 18 should be outstanding, a gorgeous day just made for flirtatious fun. Venus in Scorpio will send a missive to Uranus in Pisces then, sure to create a stir in your love life. If your birthday falls near March 5, you'll get a double dip of luck.

If you want to give a party at home (rather than at a restaurant), make it for Thursday, December 20 when Mercury (ruling your solar 4th house of home) conjuncts Jupiter. Or, choose New Year's Eve, and we'll talk more about that day later.

The month begins to get more festive once Jupiter moves into your 11th house of hopes and wishes on December 16, as it will be for the first time since 1996. Jupiter will remain in this part of your chart for 13 months, until January 5, 2009.

Jupiter will visit your 11th house of friends, associates, and new contacts, so the one thing you can count on in 2008 is that you will have a chance to make many new friends. You may have been working so hard this year that you didn't have the time to socialize and may not have noticed that you and some of your old friends have been drifting apart as you picked up new interests. If you recently moved to a new neighborhood, you may not have had the time to meet new people and make new friends, and you may have felt the lack of close contact. Now, all that will be redressed, and you should see results fairly soon!

If you have considered joining a social or professional club, you should. You'll enjoy benefits that you can't quite imagine yet, but they will be there, for sure!

Communities, charity work, humanitarian efforts, and even political volunteer work may interest you in the coming year too, and again there will be considerable benefits to getting involved. If you choose to give your time or attention to one of these areas (on a small or large scale), you will experience impressive personal growth. You may want to take on a committee post, or simply donate your goods or services to a silent auction. Any contribution you make, large or small, would be appreciated. This is a big, bright area of your chart, about to pulse with light. You would also meet some very interesting people at the meetings and mixers, so if the opportunity presents itself, take it!

The 11th house, about to be so lit up for you, also rules the profit from the efforts you put into your business the year earlier, which in this case is 2007. If you are self-employed - and many Pisces are - you will likely see wonderful profits this year!

Business and pleasure will mix seamlessly all month, so it really does behoove you to be out and about. Have a number of fancy outfits and shoes ready (Pisces' favorite accessory) for last minute invitations. Yes, I am talking to all my Pisces readers, including my male Pisces!

Now we come to still another magical date of the month, the luckiest day of the year for fun and love, December 23, when Jupiter will conjoin the Sun. (This conjunction will actually peak in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday, December 23, so realistically the day prior, December 22, will be the one to put a star on!) This is an annual event, and one we all look forward to with glee. It's a day that occurs randomly, when Jupiter happens to catch up with the Sun.

These two magnificent heavenly bodies, the Sun and Jupiter, will meet in this same lovely area of friendship, people, and events, so it appears that you will get an invitation for a grand holiday party, and if so it would be one to remember!

If it turns out you aren't invited to a party - give one! This would certainly be a beautiful dress-up affair, as Jupiter, when mixed with the Sun, is associated with royalty and luxury. Beautiful food, flowers, and music would form the evening, and you're likely to meet many people from various walks of life, several with a story to tell that will be fascinating.

Over this weekend (or the day prior, December 21), you may also meet up with an influential friend who will tell you she or he would like to help you get ahead professionally. One thing could lead to another, and before you know it, you will have a full-blown opportunity shaping up in the New Year.

One more surprise is due - the luckiest day of the year will arrive on December 23! This day will also be the full moon in Cancer! Wow! How lucky can you get? Cancer rules your house of true love, bringing feelings to their fullest point. Dear Pisces, on this weekend, romance and friendship should sparkle brightly for you!

If single, you may meet an intriguing person at this party, someone you will want to get to know better on this magical weekend.

If attached, your relationship will reach a pinnacle point at this time. Talk of children will enter the picture, or a child you have now may bring news that brings cause for celebration.

Also near December 23, plus or minus four days, a creative project may reach full blossoming - so much to celebrate!

If you were born on February 21 or within five days of this date, you will find this full moon has special importance to you. You will feel the benefits of this date very personally!

Now let's turn to Christmas Day, sure to be beautiful. If you celebrate the holiday, the moon will be in Leo, and since Mercury will not be retrograde this year, it will be a day of exceptional warmth, love, generosity, luxury, and happiness.

By New Year's Eve, the moon will be in Libra, a very social placement, and Mars will back into your home sector. This would be a perfect year to give a party at home. Invite friends, and if you're not up to cooking, ask each to bring his or her specialty - bought or made! The idea is to surround yourself with loving friends, because clearly, you have many!

Summary:

You may assume that December will be a quiet month professionally, but nothing could be farther from the truth. With five heavenly bodies filling your career sector at the pinnacle of your chart, you are likely to be subject to lots of publicity and acclaim and even be offered a stunning promotion.

It is a wonder month, one of the most dramatic you've seen for your career in over 10 years. The rare confluence of energy in your chart includes Jupiter (gifts and luck), Pluto (power), the Sun (authority figures), and Mercury (news) - all in your house of fame. The new moon on December 9 will get the ball rolling. Book a salon appointment and slip on your high heels - you are about to meet the press!

Pay particular attention to meetings you schedule or calls you receive on December 11, for that particular venture will have some of the most lucrative possibilities that you've seen in years. At that time Pluto and Jupiter will make a rare conjunction - headline news in astrology - and may just leave you speechless. Whatever it is, it's a massively big project, one that you never quite expected would truly be yours! Indeed, career news will be simply astounding: December 9 through 11 and days near these dates.

Romantically, this could be a very strong month. Venus will glide in fellow water sign Scorpio, increasing your charm and ability to freely express your deepest feelings. If you have no special someone in your life, circulate at holiday festivities on December 18 when you may just stand under the mistletoe - with Venus working with Uranus, you could just get that kiss, and a budding relationship, too.

The full moon on December 23 (operative plus or minus four days from this date) could bring feelings to a glorious high point - a perfect time to get engaged or married, or to announce a pregnancy.

The month will keep on bringing reasons to be excited. Circle December 22-23 as a weekend when you will likely be invited to a beautiful, luxurious gathering - one absolutely not to miss! At this event, you'll be surrounded with loving, generous friends and many new faces, too. Love and friendship create a beautiful tapestry at this time.

New Year's Eve will be warm and sexy. As a rule, Pisces tends to like to whip up a little mystery and magic, so choose an out of the way restaurant where you can linger over the champagne and chocolates. Or, if you are feeling social (which is very possible, judging by your chart), give a party at home. Your chart suggests you've been fixing up your space this year, and now you can show it off! You'll love being surrounded by so many loving faces.

Bottoms up, dear Pisces, for you are entering a year that will be filled with many new friends and fresh experiences. You have so much to be excited about!
