Your horoscope for the week ahead: Love, romance, money and a Full Moon in Gemini

The Sun in Sagittarius is lighting up life with bright colours, merriment and snowy wintry weather. The celebratory mood will be further boosted as Mercury leaves intense Scorpio on Monday, December 9, and enters the expansive energy of Sagittarius. Mercury's sojourn in Scorpio lasted nine long weeks due to his retrograde pause in November. His visit in Sagittarius will last about the normal three weeks. 

The enthusiastic Sagittarius shift will come just in time to liven up the Wednesday's Full Moon in Gemini. A square from spiritual Neptune to the Full Moon will bring spiritual insights and unconscious emotional issues that need to come into the light of day. Pay attention to your nighttime dreams. Keep a pad and pencil handy. 

A Venus conjunct Pluto on Friday will draw your attention to money matters and relationship issues. A conjunct is good, so you can expect to get some perspicacious insights. 

There are couple of lovely trines this week too. Trines bring the greatest possible harmony between planetary energies at 120 degrees. A Mars trine Neptune on Friday will enhance love and romance. And then a Jupiter trine Uranus on Sunday will release a feeling of liberation and freedom. Hold on to your dreams. There's a chance here to make great strides toward the fruition of a long-held dream. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, December 9, 2019.

Aries

You've recently been taken aback by a set of development that you were not prepared for. Dwelling on matters that elicit irritation may be justified but won't do you much good. Instead, direct your thoughts toward a source of inspiration rather than a gloomy indulgence. A situation that's charged with tension will lose its power to harass your wellbeing. The Gemini Full Moon will lead you out of a dark cave and into a sunlit world. You can now recover from the experience and recognize the benefits it has brought. You may even exit the week a little richer than when it began. 

Taurus
