Forecast for December 2014 by Bejan Daruwalla

Sagittarian Pope Francis has just declared that God does not have a magic wand for changing the world. A very bold innovative and forward-looking step, because most religious heads are conservative and do not love change. Sagittarius is a double-bodied sign, half-man and half-horse. Therefore, it can be deeply religious and at the same time, very open-minded. Blunt but honest, they symbolise innate goodness, a slice of great good luck and most certainly, spirituality. They are unpredictable even to an astrologer.

President Regan believed in gunshot publicity. That means publicity which covers almost everybody. In the same way, you too will succeed in ventures about publicity, sales, advertisements, journeys, collaborations, rites and rituals and above all, a good dash of spirituality. Move it.

Dark energy and dark matter, they say, make up the universe. Many of you Taureans may not agree with it, because you have a strong sense of money and practicality as well as common sense. For you, beauty, art, and a good solid life are worth much more than fanciful, imaginary theories and equations.

When in the mood, you can swallow science, technology, God, sex, the galaxies and make sense of all of it. This is your unique feature and it will be in sharp evidence from December 2014 to June 2015. Use it to clarify matters to the world. Your mantra is Om Bram Breem Brom Sa Budhayay Namah.

According to David Zald, professor of psychology, smell and taste are processed in the brain, and the reward mechanism with the neuro-chemical dopamine is at its centre. Food for your spirituality and wellbeing will be water melon, grapes, honey, cakes and cream, baked dishes with a heavy crust on top. Try it and to hell with your weight.

Leos with their big egos would do well to realise that the idea of a primal female deity is a consistent theme in mythologies around the world. If you Leos worship Devi Shakti, you will add miles to your life, physically, mentally, emotionally, artistically and certainly spiritually.

The Gordian knot of science versus God can be untied or cut open by your sharp intelligence and analysis, dear Virgos. This is the month to go for it. If into psychology or classical music, you could work wonders in every which way. You are both the ants and the elephants of the zodiac.

The mind spa therapy is a holistic and rejuvenating method that soothes mind, body, and spirit naturally. Since you Librans are all about balance and harmony, December is certainly the right month to go for it. Travel and trips and ties will do you a lot of good. The Libran smile can slay even demons.

The Scientology Cross which resembles the Christian Cross can be used to uplift your spirit, sharpen your considerable investigative instincts and help you to delve deep into the mystery of nature, birth, creation, death and the afterlife. Believe me, it is worth trying once. Now it is your decision.

Sagittarian Pope Francis says that Big Bang and the existence of a Creator are both real. Jupiter is your main planet. Jupiter means wisdom, understanding and a deep insight into the nature of things. The Sun will be in your sign this month, as per western astrology, hence, it is a great chance for you to help humanity in every possible way.

Your main planet is objective, detached, duty-conscious Saturn. Therefore, it will be easier for you to understand, ‘the purpose of meditation is not to battle with the mind and to eradicate thoughts by force; it is to witness the mind from a distance’. Your subconscious and your superconscious will be kindled because of the position of the Sun.

A quest is a journey, both outward or inward, which by giving your life a new meaning and a new direction will transform you. This journey could be secular, religious or even purely scientific, because you Aquarians belong to the New Age of science and technology. You can revolutionise the cosmos. 

Neptune, your boss planet, is in your own sign and that could lead to intensity of ambition, a surge in power and position, great tenacity of purpose and, alas, a separation in your family or with your dear ones. Nothing in life is absolutely final. My advise is go ahead full steam and take life in your own hands.
