December normally is a very busy time, but this year the hustle, bustle and generalized din will be more noticeable than ever. Uranus, the planet of individual assertion, will come out of its long retrograde period, while Venus struts into the party-hearty sign of Sagittarius.
This once-in-a-blue-moon month will prove its uniqueness by offering two Full Moons, while the planet we depend on so much for connections and communication -- Mercury -- will go retrograde on December 26. Forget about a clear path to those end-of-holiday sales! Mars, the planet of action, will also go retrograde, allowing certain feelings to brew and fester for a while. Jupiter and Neptune will get together to make everything seem perfect, at least for a little while, and hope and faith will fill the air -- and not just because it's the season of light. Lastly, the Full Moon Eclipse on New Year's Eve is sure to inspire your pet to growl and howl their way into 2010.
Fiery Aries pets are sure to feel the effects of Mars turning retrograde in their 5th House of Social Life. Aries will almost always try to dominate, so don't be stunned when you find your pet trying to make a clean getaway with all the goodies on the holiday menu. This creature's hunting instinct is keen, and the over stimulation of olfactory senses could be too much for this impish type to resist. Children will fascinate your pet, but always supervise their interactions so you can ensure the safety of everyone involved. Aries' exuberance can often push the envelope once playtime gets started in earnest.

Taurus Pets (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus pets will conspire to be seen as the very best of creatures, especially while the "naughty" and "nice" lists are being compiled. With Jupiter and Neptune uniting in their 10th House of Status and Achievement, an idealistic model of behavior will incite your pet to literally seem to sit and wait for your next order or whim. Don't let this stop you from checking your inventory of holiday cookies and candies, though -- with Venus for a ruling planet, Taurus has a notorious sweet tooth. Small tastes of mincemeat or cookie dough shouldn't do any harm, but measure out the portions so no one gets hurt.

Gemini Pets (May 21 - June 20)
Your Gemini pet's personality will seem to burst into song around December 2, when the first of this month's Full Moons lands in their 1st House of Image and Assertion. Your pet could operate under the assumption that all the trinkets and gifts that are beginning to fill the house belong in his or her possession. Jealousy can also rear its head, so it wouldn't be the best time to pet-sit or add another furry creature to the family menagerie. Fortunately, Gemini's attention span is short, so all this self-centeredness won't last long. By mid-month, your pet will be willing to accept the concept of give and take in all relationships.

Cancer Pets (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer pets adore all the sights, smells and warmth of holiday traditions, so expect yours to blend easily into the bright and cheery atmosphere without making an inordinate number of demands. Enjoy the peace and watch your pet marvel at the things you provide, from little tastes of turkey to elaborate cat labyrinths or stuffed dog toys. Cancer's appreciation can be very touching, and if he or she could possibly buy you a gift, you might just get exactly what you wished for. On New Year's Eve, though, things will change. A Full Moon Eclipse in your pet's 1st House of Self-importance could morph him or her into a full-blown, out-of-control party animal!

Leo Pets (July 23 - August 22)
Your pet likes to be the center of attention, and with the feisty planet Mars going retrograde in your Leo's 1st House of Assertion this month, that's putting things mildly. You might notice resentful behavior such as just missing the litter box or mistaking your favorite slipper for a well-worn chew toy. In order to ensure your pampered one's ego remains intact over the most hectic and harried season of them all, carve out some special time that's all about your relationship. As far as your pet is concerned, it can never be too cold to hit the dog park or frolic in the backyard when you're wearing a fabulous fur coat and playing with your best friend.

Virgo Pets (August 23 - September 22)
If there could be a pet who could play Scrooge or the Grinch, your Virgo might fit the bill this year. With Saturn in its 2nd House of Generosity and Possessions, it could be hard for your pet to get into the spirit of things. While everyone is buying, wrapping, cooking and singing, your pet will be wondering when and whether you're going to remember to fill the bowl. Rather than get upset when your pet doesn't want to roll over for the rest of the jolly relatives, go out of your way to involve your furry darling in some of the preparations -- even if it only means going down your own personal gift wish list out loud.

Libra Pets (September 23 - October 22)
Your pet's attitude toward home is very important, especially these days while Mercury is making commotion in your Libra's 4th House of Domestic and Family Affairs. Make no mistake about it -- this seemingly quiet creature is sizing up your performance as a leader and will take advantage of all your soft spots as life begins to hustle and bustle more and more as the holidays get closer. Then, when Mercury goes retrograde on December 26, you could discover some things about your pet he or she might have tried to hide -- such as a stash of giblet gravy or a hidden collection of your favorite holiday ornaments -- perhaps with a few key parts missing!

Scorpio Pets (October 23 - November 21)
Your Scorpio pet isn't usually the first to participate in family traditions, but this year might be different. With Pluto in Scorpio's 3rd House of Communication, Neighborhood Activity and Short Jaunts, this pet will have a powerful urge for self-expression and connection with you and everyone else in the holiday panorama you create. Scorpio pets will be more active than usual, too -- more walks and extra time playing fetch or chase could even provoke sounds of delight you never thought this dignified animal would ever permit to escape from its being! It's a good idea to be lenient about howling this month, as well -- at two Full Moons!

Sagittarius Pets (November 22 - December 21)
It's no coincidence that your pet celebrates a birthday while the entire world is shining with light and bursting with love and laughter -- the entire holiday scene matches his or her personality perfectly! This year, with Venus sashaying into your animal's 1st House of Appearance and Self-image, a special joy that's hard to avoid noticing will twinkle behind your little darling's eyes. The New Moon on December 16 will be a high-energy moment for this pet. Do what you can to provide opportunities to run off excess steam, or you could wind up with a horizontally-placed Christmas tree or several half-eaten potato latkes.

Capricorn Pets (December 22 - January 19)
Your taciturn pet might not be the most outgoing or generous individual on the holiday landscape, but the magic of this time of year does make its way to your Capricorn pet's heart. Maybe you'll notice your pet bonding more with children in your home or around the neighborhood, or going out of the way to make an elderly shut-in or family member smile at the sight of dancing feline eyes or a wagging doggie tail. When the Sun moves into Capricorn's 1st House of Identity on December 21, the first day of winter will push your pet to remind you that no matter how cold and dark these days might be, spring is on the way!
