Horoscope: December 17, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



As much of a relief as resolving persistent problems will be, you’d regret rushing things. With both Saturn and the Sun moving into the part of your chart that accents the structure of your life next week, the focus is change. The more flexible your arrangements and, even more, your thinking is, the better.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Somebody seems to be on edge, if not argumentative. While you’ve faced, and dealt with, similar situations before, the individual in question seems determined to pick a fight. Instead of avoiding provocative topic, ask, point blank, what’s bothering them. Actually, it’s nothing. They’ve been in a difficult mood, making everybody else suffer.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Sooner or later you’ll need to discuss certain increasingly tense situations, and with those who’re never easy to talk to. Worrying as this is, gather the facts you’ll need, then set aside plenty of time to review these matters. You’ll be surprised and delighted how well things go, and how much you manage to achieve.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



If there’s a single key to dealing with the coming week’s planetary activity, in which both Saturn and the Sun move into your opposite sign of Capricorn and to accent all forms of close alliances, it’s imagination. While some changes may not be unexpected, most will be beyond anything you’d imagined possible.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



As a fire sign, you’d always rather face an issue head on, even if that will trigger a drama or upset somebody. Now, however, you’ve no idea what to say. With the retrograde Mercury causing confusion, this is no surprise. The solution? Raise your concerns, then let others do the talking.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Every New Moon is about a fresh start. But because the current one accents the structure of your life, it’s likely the pivotal changes you’ve been discussing for some time will suddenly fall into place. This will take place so swiftly you’ll feel ill-prepared. Don’t worry. You’ll catch up with everything, and with surprising ease.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Suggesting you should never say ‘no’, at least for the coming week or so, seems strange. But, actually, it’s wise. This will prevent you dismissing ideas that seem impractical when, in fact, the issue is you don’t really understand what they involve. Once you know more, you’ll exchange those doubts for enthusiasm.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Ordinarily, when you’re faced with unfamiliar ideas or abrupt changes, you’ll gather the necessary facts then retreat to consider your options. However, things are moving too swiftly for you to have the luxury of such reflection. Your only real choice is to commit to a plan, but make it clear changes are likely.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



By no means are you stubborn. Yet ages ago you decided that certain people, places or activities were dull, so dull you’ve done all you can to avoid them. Now, suddenly, events are forcing you to review this, if not get involved with exactly what you’d been avoiding. Do it. You’ll soon understand why.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



As important as the move by your ruler Saturn into your sign, this Wednesday, may be, its influence won’t be immediately clear. In fact, it may not be until the Capricorn New Moon, in a month’s time, on 17 January, that you’ll know enough that you can begin making lasting decisions.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



While the sense of urgency currently in the air is understandable, that doesn’t mean you should rush into decisions or make arrangements without discussion. In fact, judging by the influence of the coming days’ planetary activity, what you learn won’t just be helpful, those insights could prove to be pivotal.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



Because you have a rare talent for handling even the most difficult of individuals, you rarely worry about how others will react to your plans. If they’ve questions, you simply win them over. At the moment, however, those questions could highlight issues of which you were unaware, and which are worth serious thought.
