Horoscope: December 26, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Often in the past you’ve become irritated with those who are clearly keeping crucial facts to themselves. Now that you’re in that position, however, suddenly you understand. You’ve no choice but to remain silent even if, in doing so, somebody will be upset. It’s about your priorities coming before those of others.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Understandably, you’ve no desire to disentangle yourself from arrangements you spent ages organising. However, the reason these were a struggle is that this side of your life is itself changing. The more swiftly you recognise that, the easier it will be to disentangle yourself and shift your focus to what’s next.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Ordinarily, you’d explain to those who’re complaining why last minute changes in plans are necessary. But it’s a waste of time. The actual circumstances in question are shifting, and will continue to do so for the coming weeks. Once others understand that, they’ll stop complaining and may even decide to be helpful.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



It would be no surprise if you were still annoyed, if not upset, by the abrupt or strangely aggressive behaviour of certain individuals. It’s worth bearing in mind that with Mercury retrograde during most of December, confusion has been inevitable. Do your best to forget these. You’ll soon learn why it’s wise.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



As a Leo and a fire sign, while you’re happy to talk over issues, you find endless discussion tedious and you feel it achieves little. While that’s usually true, certain issues have become so tangled up the only solution will be to talk them over. And the sooner you do it, the better.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



From your perspective, luck means little if the idea or offer involved is merely appealing but can’t be relied on. Yet with such powerful changes going on in the heavens, the kind of guarantees you’d like aren’t easy to come by. For now, be more relaxed and take a chance. You won’t regret it.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



The encounter between your ruler Venus and Saturn isn’t that rare. But both have just moved into the portion of your chart that accents the structure of your life. While certain of these matters have been on your mind, it seems the time has come for a far reaching review and the necessary discussions.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



If there’s a single theme for you, and your life, over the coming twelve months, it’s growth and discovery. While you may already have had hints of what’s possible, and are already feeling positive about your options, this is only the beginning. What’s good now will soon get even better.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



The current planetary focus on practical matters in general, and on finances in particular, prompts you to do your sums. But this isn’t just about money. The focus is as much on what’s worth doing or pursuing and, equally, on whose company is rewarding enough it’s worth spending your time with them.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Although every sign will be influenced by the move by Saturn into a new position last Wednesday, the fact it’s your ruling planet and it’s now actually positioned in Capricorn indicates you’ve begun a powerful new cycle. While you’re already aware of certain pressing changes, other less anticipated ones could be a real surprise.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



True, the errors and misunderstandings triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, from early December until last Saturday, were disruptive. While, in some cases, it was merely a matter of putting things right, others have led to intriguing discussions and, in a few cases, ideas or offers as thrilling as they are unexpected.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Long ago, you learnt not to argue with those who seem determined to have a battle for the sake of it. But not everybody understands this and, in fact, it seems one particular individual is about to wage war over a minor issue. Raise your concerns, once and frankly, then back off.
