Horoscope: December 6, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



If you’re still wrestling with both the changes and the dramas that arose around last Sunday’s emotionally intense Full Moon, it’s no surprise. While there’s no denying this is an unsettling period, don’t battle even complex changes. Much of what’s arisen is overdue, and you’ll soon realise how timely other developments are.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Understandably, you’re becoming increasingly concerned about the direction certain discussions are taking. Try to be patient. Next week, on the 15th, Mercury meets your ruler Venus. This will lead to an exchange of ideas as worthwhile as, ultimately, it will prove to be rewarding, and in completely unexpected ways.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Every sign is influenced by the fact your ruler Mercury is retrograde, or in reverse movement, and each will be coping with the unexpected twists it triggers in their own way. The challenge is learning to spot how those who you’re working or living with deal with those often unexpected twists and turns.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The time has come to rethink or, perhaps, reorganise elements of your life you’ve long known needed an update. However, you had no idea where to begin. While the situation you’re facing is simple and by no means challenging, there’s no question that, once you’ve dealt with this, you’ll tackle others.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Sooner or later you’ll need to tackle a range of tedious but crucial practical matters. While no single one is that important or threatens to be that troublesome, ignore these for much longer and you know you’d regret it. Bizarrely, once you’re actually dealing with them, you’ll rather enjoy the challenge.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Although the Full Moon took place last Sunday, because it accented the structure of your life, the odds are good you’ll have had to rethink certain arrangements. Unsettling as this seemed at the time, you’re beginning to realise how timely this was. In fact, you’ll benefit enormously from those changes.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Making arrangements involving others is challenging enough. Organising something that’s meant to be lasting can be exasperating. What’s more, with the ideas planet Mercury retrograde, and triggering confusion, this isn’t the ideal time to attempt to create a permanent arrangement. For now, ensure plans are flexible. Anything more lasting can wait.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Gathering vital facts is one thing. Having a clear picture of the situation you’re dealing with is quite another matter and is, at the moment anyway, seriously challenging. This is partly because what you’ve learnt isn’t accurate but, as much, the actual circumstances you’re facingare shifting, and dramatically.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



You’ve no objection to last minute changes, even in complex plans. You tend to regard them as a welcome opportunity to rethink things, if not take advantage of other, recent and as exciting changes. Since not everybody responds as well to the unexpected, you’ll probably have to convince certain individuals these are wise.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Minor misunderstandings can be easily worked out at the last minute. However, with Mercury retrograde in the most sensitive and strategic portion of your chart, the issues you’re facing are as complex as they are pressing. This is mostly because you hoped they’d resolve themselves. They won’t. Tackle them now.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Good luck is in the air. You sense it and the planetary setup is backing you up. However, what’s good this week will be even better next, which suggests you’d be wise to take things slowly. Learn all you can about what’s arisen and explore your options but make no decisions until next week.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



For ages you’ve been thinking about, and discussing, ways to streamline your life, and achieve a better balance between home and your activities out in the world. Yet those ideas have never worked out. Be patient. The New Moon, on the 18th, will bring the fresh perspective necessary to turn plans into action.
