DR. G’s FLUTE HOROSCOPES December 2021
Rachel Taylor Geier
Happy holidays! This year will conclude with exciting new opportunities, a sprinkling of nostalgia, and an abundance of joy. A Solar Eclipse at the beginning of the month will bring something new and wonderful into your life. Accept this gift from the Universe with courage and grace. You may be asked to step outside your comfort zone. Be bold and follow the lead of the Universe - It will show you the way to greatness. A Venus retrograde mid-month will bring back happy memories of past triumphs, outstanding performances, and gatherings with friends and family from long ago. Relive these times by looking through photo albums and replaying old videos. The month closes with the proverbial Santa Claus of the Zodiac, Jupiter, bestowing abundance to everyone. Enjoy these gifts but be sure to look through any fine print. Neptune is positioned in the same house and may gloss over some of the details. Be merry, spread joy, and remember all of your greatest experiences in life in hopeful anticipation for those yet to come.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 1st house of identity. This is the very best time to reinvent yourself. The Solar Eclipse will ask you to be super honest with yourself and your most important goals. Are you living your most authentic flute life? Are you trying to be a performer, auditioning for ensembles left and right, when you know in your heart of hearts that you are meant to be a teacher? Does teaching inspire you in ways that performing just does not? Follow that path!
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 2nd house of income. This is a great time to interview for a new job. You are craving a new challenge in your work life. Mercury will help you sell your unique talents to even the harshest committee. Prepare to best answer the question, “What makes you a fit for this position?”
December 13th – Mars moves into your 1st house of identity. Have you thought about your list of New Year’s Resolutions yet? You may want to do this early this year. Mars is poised to help give you the energy to accomplish your goals ASAP. Want to host a Spring recital? Start practicing now! Want to finally master that super complicated piece? Bracket the sections that will need the most attention and start woodshedding.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 7th house of relationships. There may be a toxic relationship in your environment that will need to change or even end around the time of this Full Moon. Chances are good that you will be on a holiday break. Reflect carefully during this time on how best to approach this person regarding any communication problems. Schedule a chat when you return from break. Be honest about goals and clear about limitations.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 2nd house of income. You may be approached by a former employer to perform a bit of contract work when Venus goes retrograde. Perhaps your youth orchestra is searching for a soloist for an upcoming performance. Or a former flute teacher is searching for a sabbatical replacement. Go for it! Venus will bring you a bit of nostalgia along with a few coins for your bank account.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 2nd house of income. Your attention will shift onto your job when the Sun moves signs. Looking for a new opportunity? This is a great time to peruse job boards, brush up on excerpts, update your CV, and reboot your website.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 4th of home and family. Jupiter is the planet of luck and expansion. Moving into your 4th house indicates that you may be in the market for a larger home. Use this time to daydream and window-shop (thanks to Neptune). What would your dream home have in it? What type of studio space would it feature? Would you like a convenient out building for your studio or would you prefer a larger space with a private entrance? Dream big!
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. This is a great time to reinvent the way you approach practice. Change up the time of day you typically practice, where you practice, and how you structure your sessions. Have you tried practicing in shorter, mini sessions? Do you keep a practice journal? There may be a much more efficient way to use your practice time.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 1st house of identity. Mercury will encourage you to ask for what you need. Do you end up wearing yourself thin doing things for others? Do you need more time to perform? Or more space to practice? Or better equipment in your studio? Start communicating these needs to others. They may be able to help!
December 13th – Mars moves into your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. You will be practicing all the things when Mars moves signs. As the holidays approach, you may find a bit more time in your schedule for focused practice. This is a great time to practice new repertoire or get a head start on working on orchestral excerpts for the next concert season. Avoid mindless practice by beginning each session with a plan.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 6th house of daily work and health routines. Something in your daily schedule will need to change or even end around the time of this Full Moon. As the new year approaches, you may start thinking about New Year’s Resolutions and ways to improve your life in the coming year. This includes streamlining your schedule. What responsibilities can you delegate to others?
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 1st house of identity. You will be very nostalgic for the “good old days” when Venus goes retrograde. Think about why you initially chose to play the flute. What did you love about it when you were younger? How can you capture that same youthful excitement for performing now as you had then? Relive some of your favorite pieces through more experienced eyes.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 1st house of identity. The spotlight will shift onto you, Cap, when the Sun moves signs. This is a great time to host a performance (virtual or otherwise). You may even want to record a few holiday video performances for your YouTube page. Share your gifts with a much wider audience!
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 3rd house of communications. If you do not yet have a flute blog, this is the perfect time to set one up. Jupiter, planet of expansion, will encourage you to write up a storm while Neptune will encourage you to use your imagination. What topics interest you about the flute? What great ideas do you have about performing or teaching that you’d like to share with others? Start outlining some of your ideas for upcoming posts.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 11th house of groups and communities. You may be joining a very important new ensemble around the time of this Eclipse. If you are offered an audition during this time, take it! The Universe is gifting you with a very important opportunity to make new connections. Put your best foot forward and make the most out of your new gig.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. If you have a flute blog (or YouTube channel), this would be a great time to discuss some of your best kept practice tips. How do you structure your practice routines? What time of day do you practice? Do you ever post clips from your practice sessions? Your audience may identify with some of your challenges and practice advice.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 11th house of groups and communities. You will be very busy in rehearsals when Mars moves house. Preparing for holiday performances? Mars will give you all the energy and focus you need to hop from one rehearsal to the next. You may even toss in a few impromptu rounds of caroling around your community with fellow woodwind players. Make sure you are getting plenty of rest and taking regular breaks to avoid burning out.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 5th house of creativity and joy. If you are working on a creative project (such as composition or a recording), you may need to rethink your work or abandon your project around the time of this Full Moon. Something isn’t quite coming together. Give your work to a trusted colleague for a second opinion. There may be another way to approach your work. Revise and streamline what you can. Sometimes less is more.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. You will likely spend some time in the practice room re-playing old favorites when Venus goes retrograde. Memorize (or re-memorize) the ones you’ve loved the most. Rethink some of your interpretations. How can you breathe new life into old repertoire?
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. You will be spending a lot of time in the practice room when the Sun moves signs. Practice all of the things. Work on any new practice techniques you’ve read about or any new tips you may have picked up at masterclasses earlier in the year.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 2nd house of income. Be prepared for a few job offers or new work opportunities to spring up out of nowhere when Jupiter moves signs. Be careful to read all of the fine print - Neptune sometimes shows us things are indeed too good to be true. Separate the genuine offers from the fake news.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 10th house of career goals. This Eclipse may present you with a career opportunity that is literally too good to pass up. You may be intimidated to apply or audition because you want this job more than anything. Be bold! Fight for the job you want and show those in leadership why you deserve this opportunity.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 11th house of groups and communities. Host a sectional with your fellow flutists when Mercury moves signs. Use this time to work on balance, intonation, and timing while also clearing the air for any non-musical issues. It is often difficult for flutists to bond within the competitive world of performance. Change this stereotype in your group. We are, after all, stronger together!
December 13th – Mars moves into your 10th house of career goals. Mars will encourage you to get a jump start on all of your most important career goals. Do you have an idea where you would like to be in the next year? Next five years? Next 10 years? What are the action steps that you can take now to move closer to your goals? Carpe diem. Take the first steps!
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 4th house of home and family. Does your home studio need a glow up? Take advantage of end-of-the-year sales on new furniture and electronics to update your space. Move your studio to another room in the house if you are looking for more space (or just a change of scenery). A change of scenery will do you well.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 11th house of groups and communities. Connect with some of your old orchestra colleagues when Venus goes retrograde. What are they up to? Are there any opportunities to collaborate on chamber performances or summer masterclasses in the future? Reminisce about the good old days and relive some of your favorite memories of past performances.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 11th house of groups and communities. Your attention will shift onto ensemble work when the Sun moves houses. Take a look at the audition boards around this time. Are there any groups looking for a flutist? What are the audition requirements? Is there any travel involved? Start woodshedding those excerpts!
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 1st house of identity. What do you love the most about your flute life? Is it teaching? Is it performing? Jupiter will help you attract more of what you love when it moves into your sign at the end of the month. Make sure what you are asking from the Universe is somewhat practical. Neptune sometimes clouds our judgment with rose-colored glasses. Follow reasonable leads towards all of your most important goals.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 9th house of travel and higher education. You are ready to hit the road in 2022! This Solar Eclipse will encourage you to set out on a much needed adventure abroad. Where would you most like to visit? Are there performances you would like to attend in a different city or country? Would you like to learn more about Jazz? Book a trip to the Big Easy (aka New Orleans)! Want to explore the islands? Book a winter flight to the big island (aka Hawaii)!
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 10th house of career goals. Set up a meeting with a trusted career adviser when Mercury moves signs. You may be thinking about making a shift in your current career track and need to talk through some of your options. Will you need to go back to school for a certificate or degree? What schools are most prominent in the field you are trying to move into? Start devising a reasonable action plan.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 9th house of travel and higher education. You may heading out on a holiday adventure. Skiing in Aspen? Visiting family in rustic Montana? Skipping the snow and heading somewhere tropical? Make sure to bring your flute in case the opportunity to play a few carols arises! Otherwise, have fun exploring wintery climates near and far.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 3rd house of communications. Get ready to do some serious proofreading, Aries. You may be working on a book or article and experiencing a bit of writer’s block. This Full Moon will ask you to look at the bigger picture. Where can you streamline some of your ideas? Have you veered off from your original message? Do your supporting paragraphs tie clearly back to the overall theme? Clarify what can be clarified and abandon whatever clutters your writing.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 10th house of career goals. Take a trip down career memory lane when Venus goes retrograde. Think back to a time when you were super motivated and genuinely happy to play the flute. Were you performing? Were you writing? Were you teaching? Take some time to connect with old colleagues from those days. There may be opportunities to collaborate on projects that spark new joy into your flute life.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 10th house of career goals. Your attention will shift onto your career track when the Sun moves signs.

It is okay to shift directions in 2022.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. Jupiter will send you into the practice room at the end of the year. As you reevaluate your career, you may also be inspired to practice new repertoire for the upcoming recital season, prep for summer masterclass performances, and audition for various ensemble placements. Neptune will also encourage you to spend some time improvising. What music can you create when the rules are removed? Challenge your creative side!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 8th house of banking and finance. One of your New Year’s Resolutions may be to buy a new flute. This Solar Eclipse will help you look realistically into all of your financing options. What plans are available through various instrument dealers? What is your budget? Does your banking institution offer any loan programs with reasonable payment plans? Start researching what resources you may already have at your disposal to make this purchase sooner rather than later.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 9th house of travel and higher education. This is a great time to meet with a college advisor or grant agency about opportunities to study abroad. You likely have a really good idea for a research project but need the support (both financial and intellectual) to dive head first into the source material. Draft a short, clear project proposal to gather input. What else do you need to consider to better structure your proposal?
December 13th – Mars moves into your 8th house of banking and finance. Mars will ask you to start saving some money. Not only do you want to purchase a new flute in the coming year, but you also want to travel. Both of these things will require a bit more cash than you may currently have in your accounts. A great way to start saving is to cut out expenses that you no longer need or that you could sacrifice in the short term. Gym membership? Cancel it and exercise in the great outdoors. Subscription to apps you rarely use? Take a break from these by putting a short-term hold on your subscription. Cancel cable. The money you save now will come in super handy in the next few months.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 2nd house of income. Something in your job will need to either change drastically or end around the time of this Full Moon. Have you accepted another offer elsewhere? This may be the time to inform your current employer of your intended departure. Give your notice gracefully and avoid burning any bridges during the transition. You may want to collaborate with your former colleagues down the road.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 9th house of travel and higher education. You may be traveling to places that hold a bit of nostalgia when Venus goes retrograde. Relive some of your favorite memories from past youth symphony performances by attending a holiday concert in your hometown. Take a lesson with a previous teacher that inspired you in. They may offer brand new ideas using familiar techniques.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 9th house of travel and higher education. Your attention will shift onto planning travel plans in the upcoming year when the Sun moves signs. Where would you most like to visit? Do you have vacation time to use at the beginning of the year? Hop on a plane and visit a tropical location. Look up your favorite orchestras – are they planning any spring concerts? Book your tickets now!
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 11th house of groups and communities. You will likely receive invitations to join performing groups in and around your community at the end of the year. Perhaps your local symphony is searching for a short-term sub for the spring performance season. You may also be asked to join a committee or music organization in your community. Be prepared to share your unique expertise and opinions with this group, but avoid committing to more responsibilities than you can realistically accomplish.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 7th house of relationships. Be a social butterfly at the beginning of the month, Gemini, and you might meet a very important new colleague. The Solar Eclipse will introduce you to a new friend who will have fabulous ideas for future collaborations. Plan a joint recital with this contact. Start a new chamber ensemble. Pool your joint interests to create something wonderful in 2022.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 8th house of banking and finance. This is a great time to meet with your banking institution or financial adviser to discuss some of your savings goals. Are you trying to pay off student loans? They may have some good ideas for paying the final bill a lot sooner than you anticipated. Trying to save for a new instrument? They will help you devise a realistic savings plan under your current budget.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 7th house of relationships. Attend all of the gatherings (online or otherwise) when Mars changes house. You will again be a social butterfly, meeting interesting new people left and right. Listen to all of the conversations and become an informational sponge. Chat up local conductors about what they expect in an ideal principal flute and if there are any upcoming audition opportunities. Ask a local flute friend about current projects they are working on and if they could use any help. Make new connections!
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 1st house of identity. You may have been putting in a lot of time and effort on a very important goal only to discover this month that something about it just doesn’t work. This Full Moon will ask you to face some harsh truths. Remember – If it doesn’t make you happy, don’t do it. If you do not actually wish to be in an orchestra, it is okay to look at other ways to design your ideal flute life. Do what makes your heart shine (as they say on Mama Mia II).
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 8th house of banking and finance. Venus will ask you to invest in nostalgia. Some YouTubers make a career out of buying nostalgic items from their childhoods and creating reaction videos using the same items as adults. You may even steal this concept for your own YouTube page! Or you may just invest in new editions of old pieces that you love. Perhaps a new edition of a Mozart concerti or new recordings of all the Bach Flute Sonatas. Relive some of the repertoire you loved in the past through a fresh lens.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 8th house of banking and finance. Your attention will shift onto saving money when the Sun moves houses. Tax season is, after all, just around the corner. Do you anticipate a larger than normal tax bill this year? Have you made a few charitable donations this season to bring down your overall earnings? Have you saved all of your student invoices? What did your studio expenses look like this year? Start gathering your documents now so you can hash out the exact numbers next month.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 10th house career goals. Jupiter will your magical Fairy Godfather when he moves into your career house. There may be a job posted that is essentially your dream job. Throw everything you’ve got at this application! You’ve worked extremely hard over your career for this opportunity and are ready for the next chapter. Go for it! Be sure to read all of the rules and fine print as you prepare. Neptune sometimes glosses over some of the nitty, gritty details on the way to success.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 6th house of daily work and health routines. You will receive an important new responsibility at work thanks to the Solar Eclipse. Congrats! You may win a concerto competition around this time. Or your conductor may ask you to perform principal flute on a exciting work next season. You deserve this wonderful opportunity from the Universe. You have put in the time. You have put in the work. You are ready to be the star that you are! Go for it!
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 7th house of relationships. Schedule all of the meetings and send all of the emails when Mercury moves signs. Meet with your career adviser before the holiday break. Schedule a longer lesson with your flute teacher to discuss future recital goals or the next steps to take in your flute career. Email a flutist that you admire and ask them about their work and any advice they are willing to share with you (this is sometimes called an “informational interview”). Schedule all make-up lessons with your students. If you have been avoiding any difficult conversations, this is the time to clear the air.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 6th house of daily work and health routines. You will be extremely busy when Mars moves houses. Use this power of productivity to accomplish all of the things.

Sometimes Mars does not have an off switch.
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. Something that you have been practicing is just not coming together. This Full Moon will ask you to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. You may be focusing on the trees at the expense of the forrest. It may also just not be the piece for you. Remember that it is totally okay to pivot to a new piece. Find a work that speaks more clearly to you.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 7th house of relationships. You may be contacted out of the blue by a former colleague, conductor, or professor. This will have you feeling a bit nostalgic. What projects are they currently working on? Are there any opportunities to collaborate on new ventures? Sit back on reminisce on the good old days.
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 7th house of relationships. Your attention will be on the others in your life when the Sun moves signs. Hosting family gatherings or other holiday parties? This is a Cancer’s domain! Treat your students to a holiday masterclass / get together (virtual or otherwise). Read through a few holiday carol arrangements together and discuss goals for next year.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 9th house of travel and higher education. Is “travel more” on your list of New Year’s Resolutions? Jupiter will help you book some wonderful adventures over the coming months. Road trip to the snow for skiing? Trip to Hawaii to escape the winter weather? Book it and pack your bags!
Leo (July 23-August 22)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 5th house of creativity and joy. You may be inspired to start working on a super secret, very interesting creative project.

Start gathering all of the resources you may need to get your project off the ground running.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 6th house of daily work and health routines. As boring as it sounds, clean out your email inboxes when Mercury moves houses.

Start 2022 with a perfectly organized inbox and 0 new messages.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 5th house of creativity and joy. This is the perfect time to make some headway on your creative project. Do you have an action plan in place?

December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 11th house of groups and communities. You may be saying goodbye to a performing group around the time of this Full Moon. Is this your final performance with the group? Make the most of it! Leave the ensemble on a high note and be sure to leave your contact information with colleagues for any future collaborations.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 6th house of daily work and health routines. You will be super nostalgic for the good old days when Venus goes retrograde. Do you wish for a simpler schedule like you used to have as a younger flutist? Are you committed to one too many ensembles or committees and now struggling to maintain work-life balance? Relive a time when your schedule made more sense. Can you eliminate various responsibilities to bring back this ideal?
December 21st – The Sun moves into your 6th house of daily work and health routines. Your attention will be on revamping your daily schedule when the Sun moves signs. Time to streamline! What responsibilities can you delegate to others? Can you time batch related activities? Try to find a balance between work responsibilities, practicing, rehearsing, exercise, family time, and sleep.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 8th house of banking and finance. This is a great time to apply to a grant. Jupiter will help you attract the financial resources you need to get a project off the ground. Start looking up the requirements for any available travel grants or other research endowments that may fit your project. What does your budget look like? What is your project timeline? Make sure to read all of the fine print – Neptune sometimes glosses over some of the most important provisions and exclusions.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 4th house of home and family. You may be moving to a new house, or at least a new studio space, around the time of this Solar Eclipse.

Create a promotional YouTube video. Advertise your work on social media. Book a few workshops with local flute societies to perform selections from your CD.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 4th house of home and family. Mars will encourage you to work on any home renovations or studio upgrades. If you are planning to move in the upcoming year, there are a few things that must be taken care of before putting your current house on the market. Make sure the floors are in good shape. How is your roof? Call up your local handyman (or resourceful family member) with your list of chores. Can you also take advantage of any end-of-year sales on appliances that need updating?
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 10th house of career goals. This Full Moon will encourage you to ask some tough questions about your career trajectory. Are actually you on the right path? Do your career goals still appeal to you today or are you veering toward another direction? Are you a performer that spends most of your time teaching? Do you dread orchestra rehearsals but love to blog? It is okay to switch directions. Create the career that works best for you.
December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 5th house of creativity and joy. Venus will make you a bit nostalgic for old repertoire (and performances of that repertoire) that you know and love.

December 21st – The Sun moves into your 5th house of creativity and joy. Your focus will shift squarely onto your creative project which, at this point, may be ready to launch.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 3rd house of communications. You may be offered a publishing deal around the time of this Solar Eclipse. Do you have a really good idea for a book on a famous composer or flutist? Would you like to transcribe a violin etude collection for flute? Do you have a great idea for an article series? Get to writing! Make sure to work out a clear outline of your project before you start drafting.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 4th house of home and family. This is a good time to have a chat with your family. Negotiate schedules for any holiday performances or other studio events. What about holiday vacation schedules? What are they looking forward in the New Year? Talk it out over hot cocoa.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 3rd house of communications. Now that the holiday break is within reach, you will have a bit more time to write. Do you have a flute blog yet? This is the perfect time to start one. What interests you the most about the flute? Is it teaching? Is it performing? Do you have a great idea for a blog series about a composer’s work or a particularly trendy flute hack? Roll up your sleeves and get to writing!
December 18th – A Full Moon appears in your 9th house of travel and higher education. A trip you had been planning will unfortunately be postponed or canceled around the time of this Full Moon.

December 19th – Venus goes retrograde in your 4th house of home and family. You may be returning to a family home during the holiday season.

December 21st – The Sun moves into your 4th house of home and family. Your attention will be on your family during the holidays. Leave your flute in its case during this time and simply enjoy the season with your loved ones. Go sledding. Build a snowman (or, if creative, a snowman orchestra – everyone can pitch in!). Decorate the house for the holidays and spread genuine cheer.
December 28th – Jupiter joins Neptune in your 6th house of daily work and health routines. You will likely be super busy at the end of the year, Libra. There are so many things that you are inspired to do and create that require daily routines (such as practice, exercising, and building various habits). Be sure not to overcommit. Neptune sometimes makes us think we can do more than is realistic.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
December 4th – A Solar Eclipse appears in your 2nd house of income. The stars are aligning to offer you a wonderful new job, Scorpio. This is a position that you have been waiting for quite some time. You may be intimidated to apply or even accept the offer once the job is yours. Gather your strength, do your research and any prep work, and channel that famous Scorpio confidence that comes out when you know you are ready for the next step.
December 13th – Mercury moves into your 3rd house of communications. When the planet of communication enters the house of communication, you will be inspired to write, write, and write some more. Working on a book? You may be able to complete it during this transit. Have a great idea for an article? Write it, send it, and wait for the publication offers to roll in. You have a lot to say and the drive to put your thoughts in writing during this time.
December 13th – Mars moves into your 2nd house of income. You will be quite busy at work when Mars moves houses. Are you knee-deep in lessons and performances before the holiday break?

Lock yourself in your office and type away. The ideas for your book and/or article are firing off left and right like bottle rockets on New Year’s Eve. Write down everything to use later – no matter how out there the ideas seems.
