Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, December 8th

Letting go of self-limiting thoughts isn’t as easy as it sounds, but the potential rewards are big enough today to lure us out beyond our normal comfort zones. The Taurus Moon reminds us that we can take charge of our lives by controlling what we perceive. However, Sun and Mercury aspects to expansive Jupiter and nebulous Neptune can be very convincing. We are ready to lighten up and fly when the Moon breezes into flighty Gemini at 9:52 pm EST.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Enjoying yourself is good for your heart and soul, but even the most pleasurable experience can lose its attraction now if you don’t have a sense of purpose. Although there may be nothing specifically wrong today, you still might feel bored and restless. Don’t be too judgmental about your current circumstances. It’s okay if you want to retreat so you can integrate your most recent lessons before initiating another round of activity.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might be so rigid today with the Moon in your sign, that you miss out on opportunities that are all around you. However, you may not even realize that your determination can make you stubborn over the wrong issues now. Naturally, you have the power to maintain your position, even if others are pressuring you to change. Just remember to demonstrate your strength of character by being flexible enough to adapt to the current circumstances when it makes sense.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You might have felt that you didn’t receive enough benefits from a flurry of recent social activities. But withdrawing to recharge your emotional batteries hasn’t been as productive as you had hoped, either. Today you may be longing for new adventures to excite your imagination. You’re ready to say yes to nearly anything that sounds like a good time. Just remember to pay attention to your physical needs so you have enough energy for the increased pace in the days ahead.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your friends and colleagues might not leave you alone today because they want you to join them in activities that are outside your regular routine. Although your first impulse is to turn down an invitation that would only scatter your energy, it’s worth giving it a second thought. Rather than wasting time, participating in something different now can inspire you to be more creative in aspects of your work that may have grown boring.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

New ideas are presented to you today, widening your perspective and encouraging you to reconsider a recent decision. Although you might doubt yourself, you’re not necessarily pessimistic about your future; it’s just that recent optimism may not have played out as positively as you wanted. Nevertheless, you can be realistic now without ignoring the current opportunities. However, the urgency has passed, so you don’t have to act impulsively.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You have big ideas about what the future may bring, yet it’s crucial to pay attention to the details that could derail your success. Fortunately, you’re able to make a major decision today without worrying about getting it wrong because the Moon’s current visit to practical Taurus helps you formulate concrete plans. Use your time wisely now by mapping out your strategy before things become so hectic that you can’t think clearly.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your anxiety eases today, allowing you to keep your thoughts to yourself. You aren’t driven to set others straight now since the current situation seems to be resolving itself. Instead of engaging in a distracting conversation, you actually want to get to the core of an important issue. Although your motives may be admirable, remember that you don’t need to say everything that you think. Be smart and think twice before sharing something that you will soon regret.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Normally, you have no problem standing up to anyone if they are being obstinate. However, someone might upset you today by successfully justifying his or her opposition to your authority. It might appear that others are just being stubborn, but their resistance could be based on a strong conviction that they have better ideas. Instead of arguing, be magnanimous and walk away; no one will win a fight now. It’s a much smarter strategy to wait until tensions settle and everyone is more flexible in their thinking.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you’re often a philosopher and a visionary, you don’t seem particularly interested in abstract theories today. But your apparent disinterest in ideas can be misleading with the materialistic Taurus Moon’s presence in your 6th House of Details. Your goal is to simplify everything to make any uncertainties more manageable. Focus on tangible outcomes now, for your restlessness could return tomorrow when the Moon is in changeable Gemini.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It’s refreshing to be sailing on calmer waters today, but you’re not willing to relax completely since you sense another storm brewing. Although you may have a day or two before the next wave of cosmic stress washes into your life, it’s best to prepare now instead of waiting for the action to hit. Don’t just accept the status quo; be proactive and seek creative ways to stabilize your position before you’re in the middle of more pressure to change.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Your altruistic purpose may be to light the torch of awareness and lead the way forward, instead of watching others stumble around in the dark. But be careful since you’re moving through some pretty tricky territory now. Even your closest allies could suddenly pull back if they think you’re being overly judgmental about things you don’t understand. This isn’t the time to fake it; don’t pretend you know more than you do. Expressing your vulnerability enables your peers to trust you enough to partake in the decision-making process.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Consider the impact of your words before you open your mouth or hit send on an email today. Although you may be willing to push yourself in order to have a necessary discussion about a sensitive topic, your feelings might not translate easily into verbal or written language now. Nevertheless, you can miss your chance if you worry about getting every single nuance exactly right. Remember, your current task is to bring the conversation back to the most crucial issues.
