Daily forecasts for December 2008 written by Rob Tillett. Click here for Moonbeam's Month in Brief.
Mon Dec 1:
Comfort And Joy
- The pleasure of the holiday season is strong. Dinner at a new
restaurant or with friends and family from out of town will be very
pleasurable. Religion and traditions are also comforting and
celebrating Bulls will find renewed faith. Matters regarding higher
education get the green light, so congratulations to those who graduate
this month. It's a very lucky day, so a discreet investment could pay off!
Fortunate colours are silver and marzipan.
Lucky numbers are 18 and 27.
Tue Dec 2:
A Wonderful World
- If you have the chance to get outside for some fresh air, be sure
to do so today! No matter how dark the world might seem at times, it
really is a wonderful place. Later today, the Moon enters Aquarius and
your tenth house of career and public standing. If you go out tonight,
all eyes will be on you!
Fortunate colours are blueberry and mango.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 40.
Wed Dec 3:
Pressure To Perform
- The Moon activates your tenth house of career and status, placing
more pressure on you to perform during the next two days. The influence
of obstructive Pluto may create a conflict for you at work... you may
be forced to spend more time dealing with hidden or concealed issues than
your supervisors care for.
Fortunate colours are coffee and ivory.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 44.
Thu Dec 4:
Social Pleasure
- Spending time with good friends, enjoying good food should be
right up your alley today; the desire for sensual, social pleasures
will be strong. There may be a rather heated difference of opinion
with at least one of your associates; try to agree to disagree rather
than to remain at odds. Sure, there may be some underlying tension,
but this is a time for love, not war!
Favourable colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow.
Lucky numbers are 14 and 66.
Fri Dec 5:
Social Activities
- The changing Moon places the focus on your friendships and
today is one of the best days of the month to enjoy social activities.
Those who are single may find love through a group or club, so be open to
meeting new people. Working with others is especially gratifying now.
Consider getting a few friends together to do something constructive,
such as picking up litter in your neighbourhood.
Favourable colours are jade and ochre.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 67.
Sat Dec 6:
Neither Borrower Nor....
- Neither borrower nor lender be on this somewhat stressful day.
Your compassionate side may urge you to lend a friend a hand, and that is
fine if it doesn't involve money or compromise your personal values.
Do what you can to help without enabling bad behaviour or addiction.
Fortunate colours are caramel and cinnamon.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 54.
Sun Dec 7:
Slow Down
- After a potentially tense start to the day, you may want to
slow down and spend more time on reflection and introspection. With
the Moon entering Aries and your twelfth house of secrets and solitude,
you need to recharge your spiritual batteries. Take the phone off the
hook and curl up with a good book tonight.
Beneficial colours are soft lavender and starlight silver.
Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.
Mon Dec 8:
Turn In Early
- Well, dear Bulls, you are in the middle of your low lunar cycle.
There's no need to be superstitious, but you may want to keep a low
profile today. This is not a good time to push your luck or exert
yourself physically. Tend to your responsibilities like a dutiful Bull
and then turn in early tonight.
Beneficial colours are sunset orange and dark yellow.
Lucky numbers are 19 and 21.
Tue Dec 9:
Difficult Day
- Today is one of those difficult days, as angry Mars, erratic
Uranus and the emotional Moon play tug of war with just about
everything else. Everyone and everything that is important to you will be
clamouring for your attention; take a few deep breaths before you dive
in. Keep a low profile and avoid conflict.
Prosperous colours are lavender and golden honey.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 31.
Wed Dec 10:
Holiday Cheer
- It will be easy for you to spread holiday cheer as the Moon
shines in your sign. This is a good time to help those less fortunate
than you. No matter what you celebrate, consider making a donation to
a charitable cause. Why not buy a present for a needy child? If you
can't spare the cash, give of your time and talent.
Uplifting colours are dusky rose and dark gold.
Lucky numbers are 16 and 22.
Thu Dec 11:
Moody And Edgy
- Venus your life-ruler and edgy Uranus face off to create a
great deal of stress in your life and it seems as though you can't please
anyone or do anything right. Take a few deep breaths and shut out
irritating distractions. Focus on all that is good a beautiful in your
life and these tense moments will pass swiftly.
Auspicious colours are teal blue and dusky pink.
Lucky numbers are 5 and 75.
Fri Dec 12:
Full Moon
- This Full Moon will let you know that it's time to get serious
about what you value. This can be a time of great reward but also one of
heavy responsibilities. Don't be surprised if you are given a promotion
at work or an important position opens for you. Take a deep breath and
prepare to be both flexible and firmly grounded! If anyone can pull
such a feat off, it's you.
Auspicious colours are burnt orange and cornflower blue.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 75.
Sat Dec 13:
Community Spirit
- Show your community spirit while the Moon favours relationships
with neighbours. More than ever, it is important who lives in close
proximity to you, and not in a Orwellian kind of way. If you know who
your neighbours are, you can be there for them when they need a hand and
vice versa. You can work together to improve your environment. That's
what neighbours are for.
Uplifting colours are holly red and holly green.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 10.
Sun Dec 14:
Chatty Moon

you have not spoken to all year! Don't let any more time go by without
reaching out and connecting with your loved ones who are far away.
Auspicious colours are pineapple and olive green.
Lucky numbers are 2 and 50.
Mon Dec 15:
Edgy Vibes
- Edgy vibes fill the air as planetary energies clash. This may end
up being one of those days you wish you had stayed in bed, but if you
rise to the challenge you really can get a lot accomplished. Try not
to let little things frustrate you. Choose your battles wisely and focus
your energy.
Beneficial colours are turquoise and lavender.
Lucky numbers are 4 and 55.
Tue Dec 16:
Recharge Batteries
- Spend as much time as possible relaxing today; you'll be
working hard enough come tomorrow. You may need to recharge your
spiritual batteries a bit, so avoid social gatherings. With only a few
days left in the year, you'll need to get quite a few things done in just
a short time. Take a nap or turn in early tonight to help you regain your
strength and energy.
Beneficial colours are pastel green and oyster.
Lucky numbers are 23 and 75.
Wed Dec 17:
Lively Bulls
- The Moon enters your fifth house of creativity and romance today.
It's time to have fun, fun, fun before things turn serious later this
week. Of course, things could turn more serious because you have too
much fun, but you won't do anything naughty, will you? It may be that
you are more able to find the joy in even the darkest corners of your life.
Positive colours are salmon pink and violet.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 48.
Thu Dec 18:
Quick Wit

the holiday season off with a bang!
Beneficial colours are cherry blossom and aqua.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 65.
Fri Dec 19:
Pleasant Enough

your fifth house of romance and creativity. You should be in good
spirits when the Moon enters Libra and your sixth house of health and
service late today. With a spring in your step and a sense of fun you
can whistle while you work all day and then enjoy a restful evening at home.
Receptive colours are pastel pink and magenta.
Lucky numbers are 34 and 60.
Sat Dec 20:
Unpredictable Uranus
- Some excitement is likely when unpredictable Uranus blends with
the reactive Moon today and you may need to take cover at work. Keep a
clear head and you might be able to save the day, as your special
brand of diplomacy and tact are required. You may even find an
unexpected raise or bonus coming your way... why not? After all, the
hardworking Bull deserves it.
Fortuitous colours are silver and turquoise.
Lucky numbers are 16 and 10.
Sun Dec 21:
Celebrate The Solstice
- Celebrate the solstice by saying 'I love you' to the special
people in your life, and it will be as though angels have spoken.
Bulls are often the strong and silent type, accidentally starving
loved ones for words of affection. Sure your actions have already spoken
for you, but some people really need to hear it. The next four weeks
will see you involved in activities that increase your understanding
of the world.
Favourable colours are aubergine and ginger.
Lucky numbers are 20 and 36.
Mon Dec 22:
Time For Two
- The Moon continues to activate your seventh house of marriage and
partnerships, so try to find time for two today. With all the activity
in your money houses, it may be hard to meet the needs of your partner.
In fact, you may resent the time you are having to spend on the job,
or the time you must spend maintaining personal relationships. Try to
find a balance.
Fortunate colours are amber and pearl.
Lucky numbers are 18 and 67.
Tue Dec 23:
Connections

your best friend or partner. The Moon in sensitive Scorpio and makes
this an important time to check in with the people you depend on. The
seventh house also rules competitors, so watch out for those who are
working against you!
Fortunate colours are mushroom and claret.
Lucky numbers are 1 and 70.
Wed Dec 24:
Christmas Eve
- The morning hours are good for teamwork as problems from last
week can be rectified with a little effort. Later, the Moon enters
Sagittarius and your eighth house of sex, power, and money, adding a bit
of intensity to the day. Issues of power and control may crop up...
don't be surprised if this energy continues into tomorrow. You'll need
to keep your emotions under control if you want to prevail.
Uplifting colours are cinnamon and cobalt blue.
Lucky numbers are 10 and 26.
Thu Dec 25:
Merry Christmas!
- Meaningful coincidence or synchronicity may appear in your life
this Christmas Day as the Moon lights up your house of mysteries. Some
may be a bit spooked by the odd activity, but rest assured this is
simply the universe's way of communicating with you. You may or may
not like what it has to say, but you should pay attention anyway. Humble
yourself and learn all that you can. More about Christmas
Auspicious colours are holly red and holly green.
Lucky numbers are 7 and 14.
Fri Dec 26:
Wild Edge
- The sensitive Moon travels through your eighth house of power,
sex and money today, giving you a wild edge. This is softened by the
influence of Venus, which will help add tenderness to your intimate
relationships. Spending time one-on-one with whom you hold most dear
will benefit you greatly; this includes grandparents as well. Real
relationships based on unblinking honesty are favoured.
Receptive colours are rich purple and pale gold.

Sat Dec 27:
New Moon

New Moon, as the Moon and Pluto harmonize. You may be surprised at how

relationships. Spending time at home with your favourite person will be
rewarding. Your spirituality and depth of perception can increase
during this transit.
Creative colours are taupe and magenta.
Lucky numbers are 9 and 66.
Sun Dec 28:
Friendly Skies
- Many Bulls will be flying the friendly skies at this time...
don't let high traffic and flight delays ruin your mood. It should be
easy to look at life as a great adventure while the Moon is passing
through your ninth house, but it will also be easy to become overly
emotional when schedules are changed and things don't work out quite as planned.
Communicative colours are rich purple and silver.
Lucky numbers are 19 and 54.
Mon Dec 29:
Tug Of War
- Hold on to your hat as unpredictable Uranus and the emotional
Moon play tug of war. Family gatherings could be tense, so make an
effort to lighten the mood with your rich sense of humour. It's best not
to take yourself too seriously during this time frame; chances are
you've had more than your share of responsibility lately and could use a
break.
Opportune colours are powder blue and copper.
Lucky numbers are 6 and 44.
Tue Dec 30:
On Your Toes
- Business partnerships and significant relationships come under
scrutiny today. Unpredictable influences rule the day, so stay on your
toes. A competitor may be turning up the heat, so stay focused and ready
to defend your ground. In matters of the heart, you will need to stay
calm in the face of escalating emotions. Balance is the key word for
the day.
Positive colours are sky blue and bright gold.
Lucky numbers are 26 and 56.
Wed Dec 31:
New Year's Eve!
- The year ends with the Moon in your tenth house of career and
reputation, so bear that in mind if you plan to party the night away!
Keep your alcohol intake to a minimum so that you won't risk being in an
embarrassing situation. You are the perfect person to make a speech at
midnight, so don't be afraid to speak up!
Uplifting colours are bright gold and electric blue.
Lucky numbers are 17 and 55.
