Ever wonder how the zodiac relates to your sound? Use our December Audioscopes to find out what the universe has to say about your audio journey.

December 2019 Audioscopes Overview

With the sun in highly adaptable and spontaneous Sagittarius, we are interacting with life on a higher frequency. We are inclined towards our spiritual wisdom gained from our journey around the Sun, such as wrapping up the lessons and experiences we have gathered from the year, and weaving the wisdom we acquired into the patchwork of our existence. The design, however, is still a work in progress, and in the same notion, so are we. 

Coming out of the shadows, we all (at some point or another) seek to expand ourselves beyond our comfort zone. The path on the great quest of meaning is not always a clear one; we may hit rough terrain, bumps, and bad weather. Your most powerful tools of getting through these difficult moments are optimism and an innate sense of direction. When you trust your wisdom from where you are in this moment, amazing things happen. We make fated connections, and opportunity and abundance make their way to us without force. What you are seeking is seeking you as well. Show up and show out.

The upcoming Full Moon in Gemini offers us open connection and communication, and the New Moon in Capricorn joins Solar Eclipse in Capricorn (last of the year) which illuminates the narratives around our sense of self and individuality linked to our karma, limitations, and decisions thus far. You might experience an awakening or two about your purpose in your life. The planets and aspects bring themes of results, understanding, expansion, new perspective, abundance, celebration, and creativity.

Going into Capricorn season, we can take the experiences and new-found wisdom we picked up during Sagittarius season and plunge into our New Year’s resolutions and long-term goals. With this enthusiasm, we can make the absolute most of opportunities coming our way. 

Read your December 2019 Audioscopes below! I suggest reading both your Sun and rising sign (also known as your Ascendant), which is the zodiac sign of the sun ascending on the eastern horizon when you were born, indicating how you are perceived externally—aka your mask.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Taking initiative is probably your biggest attribute. However, applying that force and energy toward your own satisfaction and personal fulfillment is not. The narratives others have projected onto you may have warped your sense of self, and you’ve been fighting to change the way you’re seen. This year has brought up traumas related to your early life, and the wounds that have become apart of you. These vulnerabilities make you want to take action, but in a new and different way. 

Aries, you are expanding the vision of what creativity and self-expression means to you. Your inner child wants to help manifest a stronger sense of self. Being able to express yourself freely, participate, explore, play, and laugh will help you build confidence in yourself, your gifts, and your natural abilities. You’re so much more than your shortcomings and traumas. You have boundless potential, as well as the ability to lead and guide others with an inspiring and warm impact. The painful experiences that have made you feel vulnerable in the past have also given you so much wisdom, just waiting for you to take it. Liberate yourself and allow your light to shine. Love for yourself means more than ego; it means trusting yourself, working on yourself, and most of all, believing in yourself.

Audio Tip: Put yourself out there to be seen: upload a video of a new song, or get yourself on stage!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You’re a creature of habit, probably more than any other sign. You stick with what works and find contentment with that—if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But if something is broken however, you have a gift to hone in on the problem with great precision and tweak whatever needs to be adjusted. That is not to say that you don’t get wrapped up in your Venusian experience from time to time, being fixated on your five senses and indulging. The holidays can be an especially dangerous time, and you can tend to go all out. Soft, warm things, and all the beauty and love going around—how could you resist? With this energy, you want to express moderation and self-control. 

You’re expanding the vision and meaning of your habits, routines, and health (in all of it’s forms: mental, emotional, physical, financial, and even your relationships and habits). Know when you need to put your foot down and say no, but also know when to say yes; just because you can doesn’t always mean that you should. Knowing when to tap into your wisdom to tweak what needs to be worked on makes the experience so much more enjoyable Handle your energy fluctuations with consideration, and think before you act; you can still have your cake and eat it too.

Audio Tip: Find a way to give back with your musical talents or equipment that needs purging.

Gemini  (May 21 – June 20)

Making a connection is as natural as breathing to you. It requires little effort on your part. People are jumping at the opportunity to connect with you, no matter where you go in the world, and very often people can connect to parts of themselves through you. What an amazing gift—but you may not be getting the absolute most out of it. With the upcoming full moon in Gemini, you may find yourself in broad conversations that go beyond the initial topic, but with that you are able to share your wisdom with someone that needs to hear it. So much can grow out of a conversation.Your voice, wisdom and experience matters.

You’re expanding your vision of what it means to relate to yourself, others, and things. You’ll find yourself in more diplomatic situations where you really have to consider both sides of the matter, and take actions that positively affect everyone involved, including yourself. Recognize that people often see parts of themselves reflected through you, and that it’s okay to do the same. Connect wholeheartedly with the people and things you truly relate to, and you will see the abundance take place within those interactions.

Audio Tip: Connect with a music buddy or make a new one. Create something out of that interaction, even if it’s just an idea!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The lessons of this year have put you in the hot seat on more than one occasion. Many uncomfortable situations and circumstances have laid themselves in your path, and you may have spent most of the year on your toes. These experiences were not just coincidence or for naught. Every difficult situation was put in your path to facilitate inner growth and awaken a part of yourself that was sleeping. This has stirred deep emotions that you may not have realized were there. Emotions that need to be purged out along with the limiting narratives, about yourself and abilities. As uncomfortable as it may have been, it’s a necessary part of the process that cannot be skipped. It’s a step that demands your fear in exchange for your power.

You’re expanding the vision of what transformation looks like for you. You’re going through a powerful evolution this year, and with that you are stepping into the person you’re meant to be right now. You can no longer retreat into your dark, comforting sanctuary. You’re shedding away your old self and stepping into a new life and consciousness. Thank the past for everything it has given you, and then let it go with gratitude. Go into the unknown, call upon your inner power and wisdom, and create the future aligned with your highest self. 

Audio Tip: Make a playlist of the energy that you want to bring into the new year.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You have a strong natural ability to believe in yourself, even in your lowest moments. You have an internal reserve of confidence you tap into when you need it, a reserve that you are protective of, and can sometimes make it hard for you to deeply share and connect with others on a personal level. When you open up with trust and vulnerability, you gain more in the process than you lose.

You’re expanding the vision of what wisdom and higher connection mean to you. For you to manifest the abundance you really ache for, know that trust is a necessary part of the process. You’re not the type to put your faith into what you cannot see. But like almost all of the magical things that happens in life, we cannot see  with the naked eye. Most things are not meant to be seen, but instead felt within. It has to be manifested first. When you open yourself to the unknown, you will start to notice opportunities around you that you may not have recognized before; Trust in your faith whatever that means to you.. A great way to tap into that is to get out of your comfort zone, go someplace new or foreign, or get into a new subject or topic you know nothing about. By embracing the connection with the spirit inside of you, inspiration and wisdom follows—and you may start to see the abundance that constantly surrounds you.

Audio Tip: Learn a new music skill or genre you’ve never played before. 

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You operate best when things make sense. Your practical nature creates practical solutions. However, things can go from practical to impractical in a split second. You may have felt the direct effect of other people’s karmic situations play out in your path. Practicality only makes up for a certain percent of reality, and life is really just a game of cause and effect. We know that our actions and decisions not only affect us, but others around us. With that, you have your place in the world. You may not be able to control the karma that comes your way, but you can control the way you handle the situations. Often, these challenges presented are almost always opportunities in disguise.

You’re expanding the vision of your purpose and what long-term goals mean to you. What it truly takes to achieve your goals and the greater vision you desire for your future. You can get so wrapped up in all the little details that you lose the big picture, the purpose of why you wanted to achieve the goal in the first place. You can have all the knowledge and methods in the world, but if you don’t have wisdom and trust, you will never experience what you need to. Take a risk. Let the chips fall where they may. Who knows, you might catch a lucky break.

Audio Tip: Wrap up the project you’ve been working on and release it out into the world with confidence. Be proud of yourself. 

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

When it comes to one-on-one connection, you’re a pro. Your aura for love and union doesn’t compare to any other in the Zodiac. The lessons of this year have taught you what it means to believe in yourself against all odds. You’ve been put in difficult situations that are teaching you what it truly means to be an individual,  trusting in something bigger than yourself, and having hope and faith that it will all work out. To where you can create something that others can see themselves in, or just appreciate you for you.  

You’re expanding your vision of what the future looks like for you. Being an individual doesn’t mean that you’re alone, it just means you have a unique path to follow, and along this path you will meet other individuals—people who can equally support and inspire you to think in new ways. To access this wisdom may involve getting a little more unconventional than you’re used to. Experiment with new ideas that come along the way. Know that as long as you’re true to who you are, you’ll always meet the right people who can help accomplish your dreams. Trust that you’ll find your tribe, or better yet, they’ll find you. 

Audio Tip: Get out of your musical comfort zone and connect with someone you look up to.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

This year has been a trying time for you. Coming face to face with emotional turning points, and realizing who and what you can really count on. It may have felt tortuous, but the difficult part is nearly over. Wrapping up the end of the year, you can finally begin to unpack the emotions and experiences you tucked away and lay them all out. Not over analyzing or trying to make sense of them, but recognizing their real value when looking back on the ‘losses’ of this year.  

You’re expanding the vision of what healing means to you. In reality, your losses are not really losses. Some things had to be severed because they will not help facilitate your growth into the next stage. Through these heavy transformations, you must be kind and compassionate to yourself. Pushing through with force is not the way, and will only cause you more pain and suffering. Trust the unknown, and find ways to hold space for yourself to process these raw emotions. Don’t allow them to take power and control over you. Wisdom comes when we allow ourselves to know that it’s nothing personal, but the way of life. The leaves that fall can never take away from the tree itself. 

Audio Tip: Start over and use your experiences as writing material.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

When push comes to shove, you know how to get things done. Somehow, someway, it will get done. Not with minimum effort, but with every ounce of conviction. Ask for two and they’ll receive 20. You can get wrapped up in your personal beliefs and stick to what you know is true to you.

The lessons of this year have expanded the vision of yourself, who you believe yourself to be, and what you believe you can do.

The narratives you tell yourself and the person you want to be seen as often don’t look alike. You bring abundance and growth to every person or situation you come across, yet you have a hard time seeing yourself as anything less than larger than life. The truth is, it’s okay to share when you’re feeling deflated, tired. Vulnerable. You’re allowed to feel less than 1000%. Being ruled by the largest planet in our Solar System, you are gifted with a spirit that expands all that you touch, a gift that become a burden really quick if that energy is not managed properly; It can make you feel quite small or burned out. When this happens, remember that healthy boundaries are always encouraged and you are a person, not a superhero. Taking care of yourself does not make you any less extraordinary. You deserve to hold yourself in the highest regard, save room for compassion and understanding.

Audio Tip:  Clear your plate of all your musical works-in-progress, then take a break before the year ends.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

The lessons you went through this year (and are continuing to go through) haven’t been easy. But you know better than anybody the truth behind ‘who said it would be easy’? With the upcoming solar eclipse in Capricorn, you’ll be coming face to face with the person you carved yourself out to be, along with the sacrifices made along the way. The biggest lesson this year of all, however, are related to self-nurturing, re-parenting yourself, and assessing your emotional needs. You can’t fill another cup without filling up your own first, and you can’t build an authentic foundation by denying your personal needs.

Capricorn, you are expanding your vision of what your resources and values mean to you. You’ve gone through the lessons and sacrifices necessary to get on the other side of the difficult circumstances, and the universe wants to award you. It’s your turn to kick off your shoes and celebrate your successes. Don’t get lazy or too comfortable (as if that was possible) as this is the time to reflect and look at where you started to where you are now. You deserve to feel the love and warm embrace of comfort. Enjoy how far you’ve made it with the people and things that enrich your soul.  

Audio Tip: Enjoy your holiday, then plan out your next music-related goal.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You have a vast amount of knowledge. You tend to pick up on information without trying, and your internal library exists of not just your life experiences, but the experiences of everything around you. The freedom lover in you has a natural inclination to go beyond the ‘Do Not Enter’ sign, curious of what information and experiences llay beyond the barrier. You covet that information, and do what is necessary to get it. But knowledge is power, and with power comes responsibility. It’s not what you have, but how you use it.

Aquarius, you are expanding the vision of how you use your ideas, thoughts, and connections with others. 

You may prefer a stealth’ approach when it comes to manifesting your ideas, and lock yourself in your inner world to make it happen. You visualize the ‘great idea’ of the future and want to achieve it in your own unique way. At this time, flexibility and versatility is required on your part. Really look at your immediate environment, and open your eyes to the opportunities all around you. See the abundance in the connections you have and will make along the way, and be open to them. You never know what will come, but you’ll gain insight and wisdom regardless. All you have to do is ask, and you will receive.

 Audio tip: Use your voice and speak your truth openly, whether that be through your lyrics or the feel of your instrumentation.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You feel most at home in your inner world, but it does a crap job at nurturing and embracing your tender. It’s a shame, but that does not mean there isn’t a place for you in the world. Learning to carve out that space for yourself, regardless of what others may project onto you, is the most powerful tool that you could use. Holding space for yourself and others allows more room for growth, more room for you to expand. Remember: you are never alone in this. You’re here to bring your imagination and dreams to life. You’re here to take up space, and to express your truth and its validity. But it all begins with being grounded in yourself first. 

Pisces, you are expanding your vision of what home and emotional security looks and feels like to you. Emotional security is the foundation where you can plant your seeds, in which your dreams can flourish upon. Sharing your resources with others who hold space for you, and allow you to be vulnerable, creates for more nourishment and growth. Trusting your wisdom, intuition, and security in the validity of your emotions, motivations, and greater vision can and will do wonders for your belief system. It will create so much more abundance and opportunity than you could ever dream of. 

Audio Tip: Have a group jam session with your closest music buds, or join a drum circle.
