All's well that ends well when the sun sextiles Jupiter on Dec. 9. This is when hearts held hostage by malicious circumstances and treacherous exes will be released and faithful lovers will be reunited. The long wait is over. The planet of freedom in astrology, Jupiter rewards those who have kept the faith with liberation and fulfillment. If, however, you find yourself still pining away for that certain someone then you should know that day has come and gone. If he hasn't chosen you by now, he never will. And in this way, Jupiter is still a liberator, making the scales fall from your eyes and inviting you to leave that closed door you've been stationed outside for months with nobody on the other side. It's time to reclaim your life.
It looks like a casual fling is starting to heat up. There's a lot of fiery energy coursing through your horoscope right now, so you're totally into having a good time and not giving tomorrow too much thought. Fire energy is all about the here and now. However, that fellow you've been seeing appears intent on setting up dates to get together in the future. It's flattering, but you've seen this change too many times when you decided to get serious. Nevertheless, you're willing to keep an open mind. He's just going to have to show he's got staying power before you lower your guard.

Things are exactly where they should be in your relationship right now, and you should enjoy that. This need to move things to the next level, to finalize plans and to map out every detail of your future is really more of a reflection on your own uncertainty than it is a problem that needs to be fixed with your partner. If anything, be more forthcoming about what's going on with you. It would certainly take the edge off your exchanges and may even give your lover or spouse an opportunity to be there for you for a change instead of the other way around.

You're not the obsessive type. You're typically easygoing and will even go out of your way to avoid guys that look like they're too complicated. This is why it may come as a shock to you to realize that the enmity you feel toward a certain fellow may actually be sexual in nature. But think about it for a minute: You challenge everything he does, you constantly want to "expose" him and you won't leave well enough alone. Sound a little obsessive? Reflect on this when Mercury sextiles Neptune on Dec. 10. Feelings that are repressed for you may be in full view of others.

You have a lot of things on your mind nowadays, so it's understandable that you'd be a bit brusque in your manner and clipped in your response. As a Cancer, you naturally look after the emotional welfare of loved ones and will often carry the lion's share of burdens and obligations. But when's the last time that you truly listened to your spouse, took in what your child was saying or really heard a parent? There is a lot of love and appreciation in your life — enough to buoy spirits and restore depleted reserves if you would only make yourself present to receive it.

A sensational Mars/Uranus sextile on Dec. 6 brings excitement and pizazz to your holiday season. At first, you may be thrown off balance by a certain someone's sudden show of interest in you.

Can you trust it? Yes. Usually Mars in Aquarius describes men who run hot and cold, but its mutual reception to Uranus in Aries confers passion and staying power. Snatch this guy up while you can.

This would be a good time to have a sit-down talk about the future of your relationship.

It looks as if children are the overriding fixation now. Maybe it's your children who are stealing all the focus or the longing to have a child of your own, or perhaps you're investing all of your energy in being the mother to your boyfriend's kids — a mother that they never had. In any case, your partner is feeling lost in the mix and could start acting out as a result. The worst thing to do would be to treat him like another child. Schedule an evening out alone together so you can reconnect as a couple. You both need it more than you know.

Maybe it's the season of peace on earth and good will toward men or maybe it's because Aquarius is a sign famous for brotherly love. In any case, this startling conjunction marks an improvement in relations that could set the standard from now on.

If there's anything you've learned from Jupiter entering Libra last September, it is that you get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. This is an especially valuable lesson for you Capricorns because you aren't the most trusting sign of the zodiac. You tend to be cynical and suspicious. Nevertheless, accenting the positive seems to come easier with each passing day, and you have the swelling ranks of fans and admirers to show for it. Should you always keep an eye out for people trying to pull a fast one? Of course. But that shouldn't detract from all the good that they can do as well.
