AQUARIUS (20th January - 18th February)

Slow down, step back from life and check in with your progress towards your life plan goals. Are you still heading in the right direction? Now is the time to make any alterations to those paths. Perhaps rethink your stubborn streak. This is not the month to socialize (with large groups, or in big public spaces) as health concerns are on the horizon. The last thing you want is to miss out on an amazing new years eve. Financially, keep your eyes on your money. There seems to be some unnecessary spending due to pride or vanity.

Crystal for the month: Green Aventurine.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Donkey.

PISCES (19th February - 20th March)

Strangely enough, this is a good month for progress (even if it doesn't seem like it). December sees new projects that will inspire you and new business opportunities revealing themselves. It is important to finish what you start, so there may be a very hectic middle of the month for you, but it is worth it. Watch your health during this busy time and remember small acts of kindness may be what saves your sanity. Small steps from you will lead to big steps for your future.

Crystals for the month: Labradite.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Green Tree Frog.

ARIES (21st March - 20th April)

December could have more than just Christmas expenses for you to deal with. Keep a close eye on those finances and try not to over indulge. Emotional shopping or eating could be a drama. There seems to be some changes in the work situation that, although inconvenient, could lead to a much better situation for 2023. I need you to start looking for all the silver linings or you could just get caught in the storm.

Crystal for the month: Onyx.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Wombat.

TAURUS (21st April - 20th May)

The best advise for you this month is to live by the seat of your pants. You are walking into unknown territory and you will need to take a huge leap of faith. The universe wants you to let go of the control that you are holding onto and start appreciating the beauty in each and every day. You essentially have to be the change to create the change you need. Travel to the unknown, experience something new on a whim, talk to a stranger, listen to your guides not the naysayers in your life. Humdrum and monotonous is NOT what you need to be. Time to shake your old skin and prepare for 2023.

Crystal for the month: Carnelian

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Peacock.

GEMINI (21st May - 20th June)

This could turn out to be quite an emotional month for you Gemini - best stock up on the tissues while they are still on the shelves. This does give you the opportunity to unravel some complex and deep seated issues that you have been carrying with you for far too long. See this as an opportunity for rebirth. Counselling may be required to help you navigate these choppy seas. Finances do seem to bring a small relief around Christmas time in the way of a bonus or refund.

Crystal for the month: Moonstone.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Phoenix.

CANCER (21st June - 20th July)

You need to slow down just a tad this month Cancer and start looking after yourself better. It is time to reclaim control of your emotional and mental health. A little bit of personal pampering is a great idea - Have you bought yourself a Christmas gift yet? Financially splurging on yourself (not completely over the top mind you) would be acceptable and give you the boost you need to see you through this quiet Christmas ahead. Health can only be as good as you intend to be. Overindulge and you will have to pay the consequences. Balance - that is the key to this December. Do things from the heart.

Crystal for the month: Rose Quartz.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Cat.

LEO ( 21st July - 21st August)

Pressure will be coming from many different sides during the month of December. Try and keep a nice balanced approach to all issues you encounter and try not to carry other peoples problems for them. You may have to practice saying "no". Social and business obligations will require the most tact and diplomacy. Look after your health as responsibly as you can. The 12th and 15th could be advantageous. Overall, things are not too bad but you may have to keep reminding yourself of this fact.

Crystals for the month: Hematite .

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Ant.

VIRGO (22nd August - 22nd September)

This is the month to remove any personal shackles holding you back. Time to bring some whimsy and fun back into your life . Less structure and more adventure is being called for. Trust in the essence of you rather than the demands of others rules, regulations and self imposed boundaries. A major personal redevelopment or transformation could be in the works. You will love the new you, once you get used to the constant admiration of others. Financially, a little more than just the Christmas shopping usual going out, you may have to dip into the saving.

Crystal for the month: Lemurien Seed Quartz.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Lyre Bird.

LIBRA (23rd September - 22nd October)

December this time around is all about family - The good, the bad, the annoying and the amusing! There are a few changes in the family dynamics that could take some getting used to. In many cases, people could surprise you. Reminiscing is also far more frequent and connections with pasted loved ones seem to be getting stronger or more common place. Those that were hoping to add to the family tree could be making a major announcement soon. Love is in the air. Health situations hold a very mixed bag for your family unit. Play it safe. It appears that you are just two steps behind reality with a lot of news arriving AFTER the event. I like to think that spirit doesn't want you to overthink things and focus on what's in front of you instead.

Crystal for the month: Selenite.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Meerkat .

SCORPIO (23rd October - 22nd November)

This is a month were you can get a lot done. It is an excellent time to build connections and alliances. Working with others in the future will be a successful venture. Have the courage of your convictions and this will move you forward. There are some wonderful changes for you in 2023 that will be born from these connections and inspired ideas. Health wise, headaches from the extra thought processes or over computer use during this month could be annoying to say the least. Keep hydrated and keep balanced. Keep an eye on your bank balance and play it safe with your money.

Crystals for the month: Lapis Lazuli.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Bumblebee.

SAGITTARIUS (23rd November - 20th December)

This month will see you making progress in leaps and bounds. Manifest the life you want with faith that 2023 will deliver. This month should start to slow down around the 18th and you will be able to sit back and catch up on some things that bring you pleasure. A small financial win or bonus should materialize before Christmas but do not be fooled into thinking that there are no strings attached. Just be smart and cut the strings when the time comes. You earned your wins this year. Health is not too bad, nothing some chill time and chicken soup couldn't fix.

Crystal for the month: Citrine.

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Antelope.

CAPRICORN (21st December - 19th January)

This month will be bringing you into the limelight ( hopefully for all the right reasons). Use every opportunity that comes your way for the self promotion of your ideas and dreams . You need to keep pushing your plans till the right people hear. Surprising connections will bring success , its the social webs you weave that will catch the right flies. Changes in living arrangements are also a possibility. This is a month that may push your financial boundaries, keep your hands on your wallet not constantly in it. Ankles may become an issue as the month progresses - perhaps flat shoes and less alcohol?

Crystal for the month: Fire Agate or opal .

Your animal spirit guide for the month: The Spider.
