Horoscope: December 1, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Informative as the period during which the sensible Saturn has been accenting the rights and wrongs of a range of crucial situations has been, the resulting discussions have taken so much time you’ve had to compromise in other matters. While you’ve learnt a lot, its departure, on the 20th, will be a relief.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Often sudden changes in plan are nothing but a nuisance. However, those you’re currently facing aren’t just wise, they’ll introduce a timely shift in your perspective. However, since that won’t be clear until you make those changes, you’ve no choice but to take what seems a chance. You’ll be glad you did.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Don’t be surprised if, suddenly, you’re questioning all sorts of elements of your life that, usually, are routine, if not unchanging. Once, perhaps, that was true. But with the actual circumstances on which they’re based shifting, these can’t remain as they were. They must be approached from a different angle, if not entirely rethought.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Unsettling as sudden changes in existing arrangements may be, and as much as others are likely to complain, there’s no avoiding these. Once you delve into them, in fact, you’ll realise they’re mostly about changes that are overdue anyway. Don’t wait. The sooner you get going, the easier it will be.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Tempting as it is to allow others to persuade you that changes in elements of your daily routine or working life can be put off, deep down you know it’s unrealistic. The fact is, these are overdue and will make things a lot easier. However, you won’t know that until you’ve actually undertaken them.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



For ages you’ve been stuck in an arrangement that once worked but which, over time, has become increasingly unrewarding. Yet you’ve been unable to figure out a way to extract yourself. Sudden events are about to show you how. This may seem heavy handed. Actually, that’s best. This is no time for subtlety.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



You haven’t just been patient, you’ve been saintly. It might even be suggested you’ve let others take advantage of you. Still, the time has come and there really is no tactful or gentle way to say what needs to be said. The phrase ‘enough is enough’ comes to mind as a good start.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



This hardly seems the ideal time to adopt a new approach to certain longstanding arrangements. While it’s true, these have gone well for ages, with every passing day there are more problems. And, deep down, you know these aren’t going to vanish. You need only tackle issues one at a time.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Although every sign will benefit from Sunday’s stunning alliance between your ruler Jupiter and Neptune, the planet of vision and transformation, what arises could be thrilling if not life-changing. Knowing that, explore absolutely every idea or offer that comes your way. What seems least likely could be best in the long run.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Long ago you learnt there’s little point in arguing with those who engage in disputes mostly to hear the sound of their own voice. Yet you’re now dealing with somebody who’s far more subtle, and whose battles are about getting useful facts out of you, and using them to advance their own best interests.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Not only does the current planetary setup suggest that luck is coming your way, the form it takes could be so dramatic and so unexpected that you may not recognise its promise, at least right away. That being the case, investigate everything and say no to nothing, even what seems unrealistic or unappealing.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



Magic is in the air. By that is meant certain ideas or plans that once seemed appealing have suddenly turned into something rather wonderful and, judging by Jupiter’s stunning link to your ruler Neptune, will only get better. Enjoy this, knowing that each day will offer something more, and it will be thrilling.
