Christmas morning arrives under a deep and obsessive Scorpio moon. Despite your best effort to control your surroundings, troubles could emerge as the moon angles toward argumentative Mars. Expect disruptions to your holiday plans -- like a provocative comment from a relative or the realization that you're missing a key recipe ingredient.

You'll harness the strength to let things go by mid-morning. The moon seeks support from the sun in mature Capricorn, boosting your endurance. By lunchtime, tensions settle, but a festering grudge or lingering frustrations will keep you from relaxing. Avoid confrontations by taking a moment for yourself to clear your bad mood.
