Horoscope: December 21, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



It’s not that you’ve been deceptive as much as you’ve sidestepped certain matters you knew would be a distraction from what you wanted to accomplish. Now that those have been dealt with, you’ve no choice but to tackle the more complex, and possibly more challenging, issues. Do so straightaway.

.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



For some weeks you’ve been gently urging a particularly difficult individual to make some changes. Now, just when it seemed you were making progress, the actual circumstances in question are shifting. Be patient. Within a week or so, things will be calmer, and you can return to your discreet mission.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



With your ruler Mercury having been at odds with the uncompromising Pluto recently, and currently clashing with Uranus, planet of the unexpected, discussions have been as unpredictable as they’ve been tense. Out of character as it may be, say the minimum. Even the most innocent comment could easily be misinterpreted.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Often you don’t even think of it. But with certain individuals you habitually sidestep matters you know might upset them. Now, however, you’re urged to do the reverse, and actually raise these. Not only is it worth discussing the issues in question, the results could go a long way towards resolving them.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



While you can’t ignore recent differences with others, there’s also no reason to invest much time in untangling what now seem serious issues. Between the individuals in question calming down, and everybody’s attention being drawn by far more interesting matters, they’ll soon have other absorbing things to think about.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Since mid-December’s New Moon, which made it apparent you’d need to rethink elements of your domestic or working life, you’ve been weighing up your options. Within days you’ll need to take action. Forget about efforts to come up with a perfect plan. Simply begin, and what’s next will become clear.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Earlier this month your ruler Venus moved into one of the most practical angles of your chart. Since then you’ve dealt with numerous demanding situations. Despite concerns about getting things just right, with Venus moving to accent other matters in a few days’ time, do as much as you can now.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



There’s a powerful planetary theme over the coming month or so. With the planet of ideas and communication, Mercury meeting your ruler Pluto three times, just a few days ago, and twice in January, you’ll need to be especially aware of what you say and, even more, what you don’t say.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Annoying as recent setbacks were, you’re now recognising that they were doing you a favour. Had you not been delayed, you’d have got yourself involved in arrangements that wouldn’t just have been troublesome, extricating yourself would have been a struggle. Besides, what’s currently coming your way is far more worthwhile.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Long ago you learnt putting things off only creates complications. As a result, when something needs to be said, decided or dealt with, you’ll usually tackle it right away. Still, recently you sidestepped one particular situation, mostly because you’re short of facts. Plunge in. Nobody else knows more than you do.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Although the clashes indicated by the tricky aspect between Mercury and your ruler Uranus may be upsetting at the moment, they’ll also prove unexpectedly informative. So much so they could get you thinking about certain arrangements you’ve simply accepted as being as they are. The time has come to make some changes.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Few things upset you more than those who’re unkind simply because they can be. However, the situation isn’t what it seems. The individual you worry is being hurt or harassed has, in the past, wilfully ignored others, including those you fear are being cruel. They’ve no choice but to be tough.
