Horoscope: December 8, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Every once in a while, unexpected events don’t just trigger changes, they eliminate, seemingly insurmountable, obstacles. The spectacular alliance between the Sun and Uranus, which is positioned in Aries, indicates exactly such developments. While these may force you to relinquish control, at least temporarily, the results will more than justify letting go.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Few things are more challenging than watching those you’re close to, at work or at home, struggle with unfair situations. Much as you’d like to offer guidance, it would be unwise. Make it clear that you’ll support them as best you can. But if you gave them advice, you’d soon regret it.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Generally you’re not suspicious, which make your concerns about the intentions of one particular individual a surprise. Yet you can’t eliminate worries about their motives, especially when it comes to close alliances. Raise those concerns. They may fully explain their actions. If not, that alone will reveal a great deal.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Last week’s brilliant alliances between Mercury and the inventive Uranus, and its current powerful link with the Sun, you’ll be encountering amazing ideas and receiving extraordinary offers, many completely unexpected. Even though these won’t necessarily make sense now, in time they will. Knowing that, explore every one of them.

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



Some say arguing with you when you’re sure you’re right is pointless. While you don’t think of yourself as stubborn, you might seem that way because you’re impatient about explaining what you think others should already know. Bear this in mind now, since certain individuals are shy about asking questions.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



As you’re well aware, getting drawn into others’ activities is easy. Joining those you care about in their pursuits is important, but you’re overdoing it. Quietly reflect on what you truly enjoy versus those situations that are less fun. Discreetly cut back on these. It will make a huge difference.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Initially you may not be at all happy about discussions regarding changes that you consider unwise, if not just plain foolish. Still, it’s worth exploring these. While your concerns may be proved correct, it’s far more likely you’ll realise the ideas in question aren’t just good, they’re actually fantastic.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Clashes, last week between Mercury and your ruler Jupiter, and next week, on the 14th, with the Sun indicate obstacles. Worrying as this sounds, you’re in the midst of a fast-moving period. These slow the pace enough for you to ask important questions and demand the answers you need.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Certain individuals speak as if their plans are set in stone. But it would be unwise to rely on them. They’re less well informed than they pretend to be. Listen to what they have to say. Then do a little discreet investigation and you’ll realise many of their statements are complete fiction.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



It’s important you stand your ground with those who’re aggressive with you or bully others. But that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll confront the individual in question. It’s true, there are many ways to make a point. Still, in this situation you’re currently facing, you’ve no choice but to be forthright.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The presence of tough Saturn in the crucial midheaven angle of your chart is forcing you to deal with details you’d usually ignore. Annoying as this seems, you’re about to benefit from having those vital facts to hand. So much, in fact, you won’t mind having to keep track of things.
