Horoscope: December 25, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Events seem to have taken over certain arrangements that you initiated. While, originally, you were uneasy about the resulting loss of control, it’s become clear that those who’re handling these matters are not only better equipped to deal with them, they also have your best interests at heart.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



After a lengthy and often complex period during which your ruler Venus has been accenting close relationships, it’s about to move on. Before it does, however, you might want to revisit certain tense discussions. You dealt with the major issues but neglected to say anything about several minor ones.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



As an air sign, you’ve a knack for making light of situations that others are taking far too seriously. However, you could easily misinterpret the issues certain individuals are facing and, unwittingly, upset them. Knowing that, it’s better for everybody if you do a lot of listening and say very little.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



There’s no ideal moment to have a difficult conversation. However, both the circumstances and the feelings of those involved are as good as they could be. Knowing that, think through your objectives, then raise the issue in question. Others will be so relieved you did, they’ll be unexpectedly cooperative.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



As a fire sign and a Leo, you can charm anybody into doing anything. Bizarrely, however, you distrust certain amazing offers or even gifts that have come your way. They seem too good to be true. While often such caution is wise, judging by the planetary setup, these really are that good.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



It’s unlike you to allow emotions to overwhelm your common sense. But between the Full Moon and unsettling if exciting ideas, you’re feeling uncharacteristically vulnerable. That’s natural at times like this. What’s more, it’s a powerful indication you’re breaking away from familiar but restrictive thinking and venturing into new territory.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



For weeks you’ve noted, but said nothing about, potentially tricky issues involving family or domestic matters. Now they can’t be ignored. Still, if you analyse the actual situation in question, you’ll realise it’s others’ responsibility and, therefore, is theirs to deal with. Don’t even think of getting involved.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Because you think things through in detail before you make a decision, you rarely feel the need to review the conclusions you reach. However, it’s becoming clear you missed out on crucial facts. Delve into these now. What you learn won’t just be informative, it’ll mean you’ll rethink those conclusions.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



One of your most appealing characteristics is your zest for life. This enthusiasm and willingness to take chances on new and seemingly risky ideas or offers had led to a rich range of experiences. Now, however, somebody is trying to warn you about certain ventures. Listen, well, then make your own decision.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



In a few days, the dynamic Mars departs the crucial midheaven angle of your chart, ending a demanding but productive period. Although, looking back on the past month or so, you’ll realise you’ve achieved a great deal, mostly, you’re feeling exhausted. This will pass more swiftly than you can imagine.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Tempting as it is to discuss potential solutions for the range of dilemmas others are facing, it wouldn’t achieve much. That may sound negative, but the fact is, they’re short of facts, so you’d be basing any brainstorming on an unreliable foundation. For now, listen, be sympathetic, but no more.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Don’t be surprised if one particular individual tries to duck out of duties that really are theirs to deal with. Your instincts said this was likely, so it’s not much of a surprise. The trick, however, is to muster a fierce enough manner they’ll realise there’s no way they’re escaping their responsibility.
