This is a somewhat chaotic time for you, Scorpio, with both a heightened sense of responsibility and an antithetical urge to explore without restrictions new emotional territory that has suddenly opened up. In trying to get to the heart of the matter, you are also experiencing a certain degree of confusion regarding who you are and what you are really up to. You feel the pressure of being stuck with nowhere to go but up and yet remain uncertain of how actualize your soul's truest intention. This pressure cooker will eventually allow you to turn your coal into a more focused diamond body, but first you might have to pay some dues. The ultimate reward is worth the effort you must make to keep your head on straight in this difficult and transformative time.
As the month begins, you are coming out of a serious internal collision, brought about by the recent Full Moon eclipse that emphasized Saturn in your sign, between having a conventionally appropriate idea of who you must appear to be and another sense altogether of who you really are beneath the surface. Saturn symbolizes restriction and restraint, while what you need to experience in order to more completely evolve might be better termed an open sense of discovery. You find that you need a willingness to go to new places, as you refine your pathway toward a future that you can really live with.
Fortunately you are also gifted at this time with a strong will to make your way forward and to learn new tricks in order to become more enabled to do so. Communication is vital now and represents perhaps your best chance. The balance between self and other is another necessary ingredient of your current situation, since you require the catalyst of compatible yet different points of view and yet need to stay extremely focused on your own evolution also.
You are basically self-involved at time, and using every experience to leverage yourself further along your intended path, as you can currently see it, but the connection with other minds and other ways of seeing is also of vital importance to you and must be acknowledged.
Your sense of security is intimately connected to getting a handle on where you need to be headed, and so the tug-of-war is paramount between conventional and more open values. You may need to allow each end of this polarity to have its say and its sway over you, but not alternately, for this will drive you crazy, but instead somehow together. It is possible to allow your mind to accept the paradoxical amalgam of these opposite points of view by letting go of logic and allowing your well-developed internal guidance system to have the final word.
This represents the will of the cosmos, acting itself out through you as agent. One more paradox: you are both entirely in control of your momentary destiny and entirely not, leaving it up to the universe to have its way with you. But just as strongly as you recognize the potency of the universe right now, it helps to simultaneously pretend that you are the sole author of your fate, and even to mean it.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, December 6th, you have come to a turning point in the arc of development inspired by the New Moon time, when you are more or less forced to re-evaluate what it is that you have started, especially true for you with the recent retrograde of Mercury through your sign. As it makes its way back to Sagittarius, where it started, you might be surprised by the plethora of new concepts that it leaves behind in its wake. This week leading up to the next lunation cycle could be mentally very exciting, bringing a sense of Spirit more completely into your picture.
The New Moon of Thursday, December 13th, represents fresh energy for your quest for meaning. One hallmark of this end-of-year period is that communication with others around you makes sense for you right now on your journey, a means to a greater end, and this mid-month period has you re-evaluating your values and even your finances from the new perspectives offered by your ongoing thought process and its fertilization by the minds of your chosen compatriots.
The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, December 19th, might throw a few snags and curve balls into the picture. You are still perhaps learning how to take a stand for yourself and to fight for what you truly need to move your soul agenda forward. You are having to be quick on your feet and to make adjustments on the fly as you more fully consider what might in the final analysis constitute your actual mission statement.
The Full Moon of Friday, December 28th, like the recent Lunar Eclipse from the end of November, once again triggers your ongoing and vibrant transformation in areas such as how you learn from and better understand the direction that you are actually headed in your life. The New Year beckons with renewed optimism but with no escape from the rigors of what you are dealing with, yet there is a way through. You are continuing to deal with the limitations of your situation but are moving out beyond these constraints in an almost magical way. Time, as the great poet Dylan Thomas reminds us, still holds you "green and dying" but you can later say along with him: "I sang in my chains like the sea."
