Horoscope: December 12, 2016

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Even the idea of dealing with tricky issues in a slow and painstaking manner worries you. But in at least one particular situation, you’ve no choice. Ironically, what you learn in the process will be so fascinating that you’ll soon forget any feelings of aggravation and will, instead, love every minute of it.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



While there’s no denying you’re a practical earth sign, many Taureans have a strong intuitive streak. And yours is undoubtedly telling you to expect exciting if unsettling changes. That’s correct. In fact, every sign will be influenced by the potent alliance involving Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, later this month.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



There’s no debating the fact that the Gemini Full Moon, in a few days, will bring both circumstances and your own feelings to a head. However, because it’s taking place during a period of change, what you see, do and decide at that time is likely to change, and change again.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



One of the best strategies for dealing with difficult situations or temperamental individuals is to quietly back off. It may seem others need your support but, in truth, they’re complaining to everybody. Don’t worry that your being uncaring, this is one of those times when you and your interests must come first.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Tempting as it is to make an issue of sudden and very inconvenient changes in certain plans you’ve worked long and hard to organise, there really is nobody to blame. In fact, these changes have been brewing for ages, it’s just nobody’s noticed. Waste no time battling them. Instead, plunge in and make those changes.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Few things are more gratifying than knowing you’ve delved into and dealt with the coming week’s plans. However, with the Sun powerfully aspecting both the stern Saturn and the inventive planet Uranus, and within only days, the actual circumstances you’re dealing with will change, probably more than once.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Having the details to hand is one thing. Catching others in the mood to deal with them is quite another, as you’re currently discovering. Much as you’d like to get these matters organised, it would be wise to put them off until after the unsettling Full Moon, in a few days’ time.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



For you, as a Scorpio, knowing who you are and being sure of your convictions isn’t just important, it’s core to your identity. So when situations arise that challenge those beliefs, you can feel threatened. The best response is to explore these. You’ll soon realise what they’re adding to your life.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Although it’s in late December, it would be no surprise if you weren’t already feeling the potent influence of the link between your ruler Jupiter, practical Saturn and the planet that’s all about new ideas, innovation and the unexpected, Uranus. Perplexing as these events are, there’s no mistaking their power and potential.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Sudden changes in circumstances are unsettling and, worse, could make you worry that somehow you’ve missed indications these were coming. However, that’s part of their nature, they’re about plunging into something new, unexpected yet promising. This may not be your habit, as a cautious Capricorn, but you won’t regret it.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



There are many ways to tell others you’re intrigued by what they’re suggesting but by no means ready to commit, and judging by the exciting ideas and offers coming your way, you’ll need to use them all. Tempting as it is to say a simple ‘yes’, with things moving so swiftly, you’d soon regret it.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Change is in the air. You are thrilled about the ideas currently appearing, but that’s primarily because you’re benefiting from the fantastic instincts that come with being a Pisces. However, while you’re happily exploring your options, others will be laboriously seeking facts to support what you already know is brilliant.
