Horoscope: December 28, 2015

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



In early November your ruler Mars moved to accent close alliances, personal and those out in the world. While you’ve acted on certain ideas or offers, there’s been little time for others. Turn your attention to these, ideally this week, before Mars moves into a new position, on Sunday 2 January.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Usually the heightened feelings triggered by the Full Moon vanish as swiftly as they appear. However, because the emotions roused by last Friday’s involve differences with others, the resulting debates could continue for some days yet. Actually, that’s best, as these issues need to be talked through, once and for all.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



It’s probably the last thing you’re in the mood to do. But that mistake involving certain practical or financial matters you were hoping would just go away hasn’t. In fact, it would appear you’ll soon need to acknowledge if not deal with it. Tackle it now, while it’s still manageable.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



One of the greatest virtues of your nature, as a Cancerian, is your awareness that certain complex matters need time, for thought and reflection. That’s especially true now, in the days just past the emotionally intense Full Moon in your sign. The resulting insights will benefit you and, ultimately, others as well.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Over the past month or so, you’ve been aware certain arrangements that once worked wonderfully need to be reviewed. There’s no better time than now to begin. This is likely to require considerable thought and patience. Still, once you’re benefitting from those changes, there’ll be no doubt it was worth it.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Living through family or domestic dramas isn’t easy. These, which were triggered by the recent Full Moon, weren’t exactly a surprise. And now that you’re in a position to look back on them, there’s no question that, because these needed to be discussed and dealt with, any temporary upset was justified.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Because you think plans through carefully, changes that arise suddenly can be unsettling. Now, however, you’re urged to prepare for the unexpected. In fact, with several planets moving into new positions over the coming week or so, including your ruler Venus, things are unlikely to remain as they are.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



On 19 December, Mercury, the communication planet, met your ruler Pluto, triggering a series of important discussions and realisations. However, these two meet again twice in late January, which means you’ll have an opportunity to revisit your existing ideas and explore the options that come your way between now and then.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Although the Sagittarius New Moon took place two weeks ago, you’re still contemplating what to do about both sudden changes and intriguing offers. While discussing your options with others is wise, equally, it can be confusing. If you haven’t made decisions, your best bet is to plunge in and learn from experience.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Usually the Sun’s move into your own sign brings about an upbeat period. While the Sun actually entered Capricorn a week ago, on the 22nd, you’re wrestling with shifting situations and uncertainties on the relationship front. That’s because everybody’s influenced by this unsettled cycle and the changes it’s triggering in their circumstances.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Recent squabbles were a distraction at the time, but you’ve since realised they ended certain persistent misunderstandings. Bear this in mind now, when yet more seemingly minor problems arise. Instead of brushing them off, encourage discussion. They, too, will help eliminate confusion about issues you thought you’d just have to live with.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Encouraging others to take the initiative is one thing. Watching them actually do it is quite another matter, as you’re about to discover. The individual in question is now on their own. This won’t be easy, as it means you must resist the temptation to offer guidance or even cheer them on.
