Horoscope: December 5, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



The time has come to say what’s on your mind. And in several situations. In some, you’ve sidestepped troublesome disputes, in others you’d had no time for clashes. Judging by the influence of the challenging aspect between your ruler Mars and Pluto, there’s no avoiding these or any resulting dramas.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Long ago you learnt there’s no point in trying to discuss matters that others are unwilling to deal with. However, now that your ruler Venus has moved to accent these, they’ll be a growing emphasis on getting things done. While, obviously, this will be a relief, let others take the lead.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



As a Gemini, you were born with perhaps the most flexible mind of the twelve signs. This means you’re sometimes impatient with those whose attitude or thinking is rigid. Over the coming days, this is exactly what you’ll be facing. Forget about trying to outsmart them. Simply go along with their demands.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Everybody knows at least one person whose is lovable but amazingly self-centred. Refusing them can be a challenge, enough that in the past you’ve gone along with their demands. Now, however, unappealing as the thought is, you must stand up to them. If you don’t, you’ll regret it.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Only days ago you were shocked by the discovery that certain arrangements favoured others over you. Now that your initial reaction has worn off, you’re discussing and, more importantly, rethinking these. What you learn in the process could lead to a fresh perspective on elements of your life you’ve regarded as unchanging.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



You prefer to think the best of those around you, whether the relationship is personal or otherwise. Yet what you’re observing about one particular individual isn’t just worrying, you’re genuinely concerned. Judging by the planetary setup, your fears may be legitimate. Be cautious in your dealings with them.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



In the month since your ruler Venus moved into Libra, you’ve dealt with a range of perplexing situations and ironed several issues involving others. Obviously this has required most of your time and attention. Now that Venus has departed your sign, you can turn your attention to long overdue practicalities.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Having been born under one of the most determined signs of the zodiac, you can deal with almost anything that comes your way. Not everybody has your strength. For this the reason, you’re worrying about the struggles of somebody you care about. They value your support, but from a distance.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



For you, minor errors are to be noted, probed, learnt from, and that’s that. And usually without discussion. Now, however, you’re dealing with somebody who wants to analyse such matters in depth. Aggravating as this seems initially, try to be patient. You’ll learn far more than you anticipate.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



With the planet of ideas and expression, Mercury, currently positioned in the most strategic portion of your chart, you’ve had no choice but to sidestep some matters and be absurdly tactful about others. Once it moves into Capricorn, next Thursday, you’ll finally be able to say what’s on your mind.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Nobody has a stronger sense of fair play than you, as an Aquarius. You’ll listen to and consider what others have to say, and in depth. In one particular situation, however, you’ve no choice but to take a tough line. Be very clear about what’s acceptable and, even more, what isn’t.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Yet again you’re about to offer to help somebody who appears regularly, struggling with something. While your generous spirit is a real virtue, it’s important you restrict those kindnesses to those who deserve them. The individual in question refuses to take responsibility for their own life and, thus, is not one of them.
