Boxing Day’s eclipse inspires you to start afresh. Like a new flower bud beginning to open, you’ll feel totally renewed and ready to tackle any challenge. Motivate yourself to focus on what needs revamping in your life. Believe in yourself, and you’re halfway there. Don’t be shy Gemini; your skills are on fire right now!

This week's eclipse spotlights your relationships. This is great news for couples embarking on an adventure or starting a project together. You’ll be the A-Team when you slay whatever you tackle. Sure, you might feel nervous about stepping out of your comfort zone. But having your sweetheart by your side is your secret weapon. Single? There’s no shame in putting yourself first.

You can't stop thinking about what 2020 promises! With a smorgasbord of career options to choose from, who can blame you? Whether you’re deciding which University offer to accept or if you should exit your current place of employment; one thing’s certain. All roads lead to success provided you stay faithful to your calling. Don’t allow other people’s options to sway your final decision.

If your love life is as dry as the Sahara Desert, it’s because an old-fashioned approach needs to be tossed to the curb. You’ve tried. Maybe too hard. Now my darling Virgo, you need to reflect on the common denominator - you! You’ve probably been putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Next time be a little bit selfish. Think of it as self-love. Then, you’ll attract what you are.

You're feeling a little sick in the stomach at how much cash you’ve parted ways with. Nevertheless, by Christmas Day, you’ll find comfort in the appreciation you receive. In fact, the day goes without a hitch, leaving you feeling uplifted and filled with gratitude for your many blessings. Take a moment to breathe it all in.

This week, The Sun’s kiss with Jupiter lures you away. Pack your bags for a short escape, weekend adventure or an overseas experience. Either way, forget about work for a while. Make it a priority to take a mental break. Just because you’re physically off the grid, doesn’t mean you’re truly relaxing. It’s crucial that you do, in preparation for 2020.

Christmas Day is guaranteed to be big, filled with family, friends and lots of love. By all means, enjoy yourself during this happy time. But when Jupiter greets the Sun, you’re at risk of spreading yourself too thin. Avoid regret and burnout by practising moderation.

Consider the Boxing Day eclipse a reboot. What part of your life needs a do-over? Your personal sector is being triggered, so look within to begin change. If your relationships are floundering, check that there's an equal amount of give-and-take. It’s just as important to graciously receive as it is to give. But first, you must feel deserving. Do you?

Venus stirs up nostalgic emotions, leaving you feeling that something is just not complete. Are there words left unspoken or sentiments that remain unexpressed? Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, this is the time when most are open to forgiveness. So, if you don’t reach out now, when? There’s a karmic chapter that’s begging to be closed with love.

Although a Christmas incident ruffles a few feathers, you’ll eventually see it as a blessing. Be flexible, and you can’t go wrong. Family dynamics may get tricky. Still, when you remain focussed on gratitude, the awkward moment will be like water off a duck’s back. Let your hair down and party with your faves.
