Horoscope: December 12, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



You’re by no means rigid, in your thinking or habits. Yet you can be stubborn about certain matters, usually those to which you have a sentimental attachment. However, changes are triggering progress, as dramatic as it is exciting. This could mean you must let go of even cherished elements of the past.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Luck can appear in many forms. While some are instantly recognisable, those coming your way now may be unexpected or, quite possibly, in disguise. Knowing that, say no to nothing and explore absolutely every idea or offer that appears. This ensures that this good fortune doesn’t pass you by.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



There are decisions and then there are final decisions. While you might have hoped the plans you made recently would last, they’re actually but one in a series of steps you’re making towards a lasting arrangement. Knowing that, do the best you can but forget about attempts to achieve perfection.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



There are decisions and then there are final decisions. While you might have hoped the plans you made recently would last, they’re actually but one in a series of steps you’re making towards a lasting arrangement. Knowing that, do the best you can but forget about attempts to achieve perfection.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Judging by the series of powerful aspects to the planet that’s all about breakthroughs, Uranus, during December’s first half, life’s been exciting. While you’ll already have recognised the potential in certain events, others still worry you. Ask a few questions. The more you explore, the better you’ll understand what’s happening.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



As a Virgo, you find those who’ll happily exaggerate things, if not simply lie, difficult to deal with. Obviously, life would be a lot easier if you could get the facts from them. Recognise that, from their perspective, they are being truthful. They regard your approach to facts, and life, as way too uptight.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Certain individuals you’re dealing with have no intention of discussing their thinking or feelings. The solution? Trick them. This means creating situations that force them to reveal those views. While that may seem dishonest, it’s the only way you’ll find out where they actually stand.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



In a week’s time the ideas planet Mercury actually meets your ruler Pluto. This clarifies your thinking but, even more, means you’ll be more confident about discussing complex matters. Better yet, because they meet in January, and twice, you’re only just now beginning a cycle of powerful personal growth.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Somebody seems to have pulled the wool over your eyes, at least in one particular matter. While you’d always prefer to be trusting rather than suspect everyone you deal with, there were hints. Had you noted and taken action on them, you’d probably have spotted what was happening earlier.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Unexpected events can be extremely unsettling. However, those indicated by the recent series of aspects involving Uranus, the planet of innovation, are likely to lead to breakthroughs as welcome as they are disruptive. Tempting as it is to minimise their influence, at least explore them further. You’ll be glad you did.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



The time has come to take a break. The past week or so have been exciting but events have been relentless. Not only do you need to recover your energy, you’ll also benefit from reviewing what’s taken place. Once you’re viewing circumstances from this perspective, you’ll be pleased how much you accomplished.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



This may sound bizarre. However, the best way to win a dispute is to lose an argument. This gives you time to gather more facts. And, equally, those you’ve been dealing with will be more relaxed and therefore less defensive. Which is the perfect moment to raise the issue again.
