Your Purr-fect Horoscope…for December

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SAGITTARIUS!

Sagittarians are fascinating, fun and freedom-loving cats. As the Archer, born under the ninth sign of the Zodiac, you're also an outdoors buff – a natural born wild tiger. And like fearless Felix the Cat, you live up to the adventurer image effortlessly.

• What makes you the cat's meow: Your super upbeat temperament wins both human and pet pals. Yes, that happy-go-lucky spirit makes you a magnetic social animal. And you've got that cat intelligence thing going on, too.
• What makes you catty: You can be oh-so-vocal. But really, you should let the cat (so to speak) have your tongue, occasionally. Because frankly, my dear Sag, you can be too chatty. Blame it on your high kitty IQ.
• Purr-fect matches: Other fire signs like Aries, Leo and fellow Sagittarians can make you comfy with a capital "C" because they share your zest for life.
• Cat-loving celebrity: Winston Churchill

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 21)

Thanks to the Sun's eclipse in Sagittarius around midmonth, you can clear the air about pesky pet peeves. Now is the time to be clever and speak out (or act out) for your animal rights. Generic cat food? The wrong cat toy? Let your humans know what's really bugging you. Purr-fect days: 13, 14

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 20)

Good news for controlling goat cats. Whether it be an old bond with a human or pet, you've got to let go of those nostalgic memories. This is a great month (especially during the New Moon on December 14) to pounce on it and make new-and-improved friendships. Purr-fect days: 15, 16

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19)

After the solar eclipse on December 14 and before New Years's Eve, you'll be nervous as a Waterbearer cat can be. A red flag: you may overeat or undereat due to HIGH ANXIETY. Try a.m.'s and p.m.'s to cuddle up to the mellow humans in your household. It will de-stress both you and them. Purr-fect days: 18, 19

PISCES (February 20 – March 20)

Once mighty Mars comes to your rescue on December 8, you'll get a boost of kitten-like energy. Take it s-l-o-w, pussycat, and let your vim and vigor last through the pre- and post-holiday period. One more thing: Lighten up on the yummy holiday treats, Fish cats, or you may end up tilting the scales. Purr-fect days: 20, 21

ARIES (March 21 – April 20)

Uh-oh Ari. Your impulsive streak may affect your happy home during midmonth when the Full Moon shines. You may be tempted to bat your human's pencil when they are writing or swipe the cat or dog. Since it's the holidays, it may pay to back off. If not, before the New Year you may regret your bad cat behavior. Purr-fect days: 22, 23

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21)

Poor Taurean kitty. It's going to be a topsy-turvy month whether you like it or not. Best advice: After the New Moon on December 14 be your loving self despite the crazy household routine (resist your Taurean nature to resist) and by New Year's Eve you'll get all the human stroking and irresistible scratches that you crave. Purr-fect days: 25, 26

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21)

Okay, fickle Gemini cats, this time your humans may be toying with YOUR cat emotions. While novelty can be your thing, changes near the solar eclipse on December 14 may leave you feeling like you'd be better off in your favorite paper bag or cardboard box. Enjoy your hide-and-seek time and you'll get through this oh flexible one. Purr-fect days: 1, 28

CANCER (June 22 – July 23)

Don't get upset but the word is that midmonth may wreak havoc on your sensitive body and mind. It's no secret that when your home is out-of-whack it can make you want to not use the litter box. If you DON'T resort to catty behavior your nurturing human will come to your rescue and you'll get a cuddly connection, Moonchild kitty. Purr-fect days: 2, 3

LEO (July 24 – August 23)

During the solar eclipse on December 14 stay out of the limelight. That's a difficult task for ego-minded Lions, but it's for your best interest. In other words, that means "Off" elaborate holiday table settings and "No" caterwauling during human parties if you want to remain Top Cat. Your good act will make YOU the centerpiece by the New Year. Purr-fect days: 4, 5

VIRGO (August 24 – September 23)

Hark Harvester felines! During midmonth it's your turn to provide support and play "therapy cat" to your family members in need. HINT: Use your feline super senses (eyes and nose) to know when to be out of harm's way and when to be in it. Your precise Virgoan cat timing earns you a deeper cat-human connect by the month's end. Purr-fect days: 6, 7

LIBRA (September 24 – October 23)

'Tis the season socialite Libran cats. It's your month (sort of). While there's plenty of human and pet activities to keep you amused throughout the holidays, things can get a little on the edgy side. YOUR BEST BET: Use your pent-up frustrations on the scratching post (not the sofa), around the New Moon on December 14 when chaos spoils your peace and harmony. Thus, you'll enjoy calm cat days ahead. Purr-fect days: 8, 9

SCORPIO (October 24 – November 22)

After the first day of Winter on December 21, cozy get-togethers with former pet pals or cat-loving friends or relatives can make you a very happy cat. Scorpion felines can expect AFFECTION + plenty of new luxury cat toys. A Christmas bonus: No latchkey cat time all through the year's end. Purr-fect days: 30, 31
