Horoscope: December 7, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



By now you’ve probably thought of, and may have tried, every quick solution for one especially tough problem. Stop battling the impossible. The recent clash between your ruler Mars and Pluto may be one of the few planetary aspects which indicates that, in the long run, you’re better off giving in.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Only days ago, your ruler Venus moved to accent close alliances, personal and otherwise, and you’re already contending with issues. Actually, these are no surprise. Rather, you thought they’d been dealt with, at least to the extent you could ignore them. Apparently not. In fact, now some must take priority.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Although the Gemini Full Moon took place nearly two weeks ago, on 25 November, you’re still struggling with certain of the unsettling feelings it raised. While some can be discussed and resolved swiftly, others will require reflection on your part and, in some situations, time to forgive and forget.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



It’s not unusual that issues involving family matters are complex. What’s worse, at the moment, is certain individuals are being stubborn. While, obviously, you’d like to help resolve these, you’d soon regret getting involved. Others need to work things out for themselves. Besides, if you interfere, you could be blamed for everything.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



There’s been no way you could sidestep the series of challenging situations triggered by the recent clash between Mars and the underhand Pluto. Now that you’re viewing them in retrospect, you’ll realise how much you learnt. Of perhaps greatest importance, these confirmed that, as you suspected, certain individuals are ridiculously secretive.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Annoying as recent misunderstandings were at the time, you’re now beginning to see them in another light. Instead of regarding them as a nuisance, they not only prevented problems, they were unexpectedly informative. In fact, ultimately, what you learn from them will mean you’re grateful that they took place.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



While the period during which your ruler Venus was in Libra, from 8 November until last Saturday, has proved as challenging as it was profitable, you’ll be relieved it’s moved into a new position. Because this accents financial and practical matters, your focus will be turning those insights to your advantage.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



When the need arises, you’re capable of turning on the charm. However, now that Venus has moved into Scorpio, you’ll find it far easier to win others over. This especially applies to certain individuals who, in the past, have been distant if not remote. Now you’ll find a way to bring them around.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Every sign is influenced by the New Moon. While it takes place later this week, the fact it’s in your sign means you’re probably already aware of the fresh start it brings. True, this could focus more on what needs to go. Still, it will clear the way for what’s next.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Recent situations were so tricky you probably didn’t know what to do. While, at the time, that was worrying, it’s for the best. Now that you’re learning the actual facts and gathering information about the people involved, it’s becoming clear these matters really weren’t yours to deal with anyway.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



During December your ruling planet Uranus is aspected by, that is, forms relationships with, Mercury, courageous Mars and the Sun. Each of these raises questions you’ll want to consider in depth. Although certain matters are pressing, these decisions are crucial and will have a lasting influence. Take your time.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



It isn’t always easy to discern between minor issues and the variety of disagreements that could turn into a battle. With the hot-headed Mars accenting close alliances, and both finances and business, tensions are likely to be high. Invest time discussing these in detail now and you’ll avoid dramas later.
