Your Daily Horoscope for Monday, December 24

By Kelli Fox, Astrologer

Aries

March 21- April 19

The best thing about you now is that you’re faithful to your ideals. Your mind and eyes are sharp, your grasp of morals and principles strong, and you’re tuned in to a larger truth. This means you can enlighten your friends and associates, especially if you keep telling it like it is. No one’s going to argue with you. They all recognize your connection to a higher reality, and they’re willing to listen to your perspective, especially if you offer ideas to make things better for everyone.

Taurus

Why are you so stubbornly retro? Clearly the style of some previous period is capturing your imagination. Whatever it is you’re wearing or carrying around, it’ll look good on you for today. Then what? Time marches on, wishes and demands change, and people will start judging old books by their covers. No, you don’t have to give up what you love. But you might also benefit from having something more current in your life, too. Why not belong to a few different eras? And still be relevant today?

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Forget about your dignity today. It doesn’t matter who’s watching or what they might say. Let your frisky side take over. Let your inner puppy or kitten come romping out that open door. Roll in the grass, the surf or the hay if it so pleases you. Flirt with an attractive stranger if it feels appropriate. It’s all in fun, and it doesn’t have to disrupt your organized life in any long-term way. Of course, if you wanted that kind of disruption, this would certainly be your moment.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

No matter what’s going on today, honesty is still the best policy. Of course, you can use your innate compassion to soften the blow, especially if you have to reveal a harsh truth to a friend. Be as upfront as you can. By telling the truth, you’ll protect your integrity, which is very important now. Later, a little exaggeration will be just fine. But for now, stick to the facts and nothing but. You’ll be glad you didn’t fudge even the tiniest detail.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Are you aware of what you can do when you put your mind and your back into it? If not, you’re about to find out. Bring your determination and concentration online until your world is humming with constant power. Focus all that energy on your objective today, whether you’re trying to break a world record, win somebody’s doubting heart or make your first million. Why can’t you do all this and more? You feel like laughing in the face of the impossible. You know you’re right, and you’ll prove it, too.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

For now, you’re taking success and failure with equal humility. You know you’ve done some things well and others not so well, and you’re looking forward to the chance to take a step back and see how you’re doing. This is a great time to ask for assistance or feedback from a friend or colleague. It’s a good idea to give your critics a warm welcome today. Does it make it easier if you know they’ll love you no matter what? Because they will.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You’ll be easy on the eyes today. Your signal will be strong, and your song will be sweet and on key. Be glad you don’t have to work so hard on appearances or fine tune the audio, just in case you were worrying. Turn your attention to more pressing matters. Start pushing back at whatever is closing in on you. The good news is that you’re still a long way from being trapped. And if you start your push early enough, you’ll have fun and get some exercise, too.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Maybe it’s all a big show-and-tell for you, but there’s such a thing as too much information. Keep all your drama onstage today. Shroud your personal life in the kind of modesty that deflects attention instead of the kind of mystery that begs other people to snoop around in curiosity. You’d just have to brush them off when they got too close for comfort. They’d think you were going back on your invitation, and there would be chaos and bad feelings. Make things easier for yourself, not harder. Know when to remain silent.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Pure happiness shifts into utter joy. The world seems like exactly the right place to be, and you’re at the center of it, dancing to your very own melody and simply enjoying life. Today you’re a superior being — not in the sense that you’re above other people, but that you’re tuned in to your own inner light. You’re at your best and brightest now, and you can illuminate the world around you. You may even find you have followers — people who admire your enlightened movements and want to follow your lead.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

A project you’ve been working on feels a little off. You’re almost there, but something’s missing, and you can’t quite put your finger on it. There are a couple of ways you can handle this. You could let your inner nervousness build as you act aloof and cranky while you try to figure it out yourself. Or you could stay calm and ask for help. There’s got to be an ally who can help you out, even with just a bit of fresh perspective. Ask and see.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Deep friendship comes naturally to you, though sometimes you’re too much in your head to express your sentiments. Today, your warmth comes out, and your favorite people know exactly how dedicated you are. If the world seems a little cold and cruel, don’t worry. Go ahead and put up your guard if you have to. Still, it would be better to give in to the strange, romantic energy and do away with being guarded altogether. Someone loves you a lot, and you can let them know you return the feeling.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Suddenly, it’s as if the world has turned into chaos. At work, directions and responsibilities become overwhelming, and you just want to hide. At home, things may not be much better. If you’re romantically involved, expect today to be confusing at best. You’re feeling pessimistic and disorganized, which only makes things worse. Still, it’s just your way of rebelling. This mood will pass, Pisces — it always does. But try not to bury your head in the sand. Leaving your projects and relationships unattended could cause problems later.

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of December 23

David Wells, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Aries
With too much time on your hands and not enough to keep them occupied you can become a bit restless Aries. Is it love you’re after or someone to keep you busy? Your ruler Mars is in your sign on New Year’s Day, he fires up passionate exchanges and whilst you initially went in for some heat, you could end up with something longer lasting.

Taurus
Venus is whipping relationships into action, steady, she is taking charge and wants you to know you can have anything you want as long as you’re totally honest about what that is. New love, true love, how about it love; you decide. This social time provides one amazing evening, around the 23rd, that could be a game changer.

Gemini
Mercury and Jupiter have had their fling, just what did they chuck at you Gem? Jupiter now waits for Venus, a combo that makes January a very exciting time for love energy to grow in your life. Use this in-between time to clear out what no longer works and set your intentions so that Venus get a clear picture of what you want next.

Cancer
As the Sun moves through your relationship sky, Venus moves through your new love sky too. This is an amazing time for you to make the most of any buffet and mingle opportunities you have, any bring your Christmas cheer over here gatherings that could give you an excuse to admire someone’s taste in jumpers, ask them out, get married; steady on!

Leo
If you’re sure you’ve got things covered you go right ahead and do what could feel like a real challenge; take time off work and actually do all the things you said you would. No emails, no texts, no checking in; just you and your own stuff. If in amongst that stuff love features, know that Jupiter is happy to bring coincidence into play. Say yes to party invites .

Virgo
Neptune and Mars in your relationship sector overshadow the pressure of the Sun, Saturn and Pluto in your new love sky and you have a combo deal that has you sailing dangerously close to missing someone’s subtle signals. Switch to stealth mode Virgo, love radar on, be aware of every nuance of an interested but super shy sort. Blip-blip. .

Libra
Mars makes it to your relationship sky from New Year’s Day, to say he heats things up is a bit of an understatement. What he works on depends on your own circumstances; how he does it will be via passion, power and sometimes anger. All motivational energies Libra. You’re tasked with creating change and given the energy to do it.

Scorpio
Here you go, some time off, a bit of tinsel and some mistletoe, the seduction vibes are high and you dearest Scorpio, are in your element. Work it! Venus and Neptune continue moving in mysterious ways and romance blossoms between you and your mate’s mate, rebound sorts and most controversial of all; forbidden fruit. Saucy.  .

Sagittarius
I am not sure you’re having second thoughts, you could be presenting it that way but it’s probably a stalling tactic. You know what you want, you know if someone is in or out and you’re just getting around to making it public. As the new year begins you’re ready, so maybe it’s just a question of timing Sagittarius?.

Capricorn
Eclipse season is getting closer, your signs features in it, so what great shifts do you want to see in your world? If it’s about love, seek the counsel of Venus who suggests someone you like the look of will respond more to soft words than robust wit and edgy humour; for now anyway. Go gently Capricorn.

Aquarius
Your love life is being discussed, shame you can’t hear what they are saying about you! What have you been up to? Seems things are being played out in a very public way, is that okay with you? It will invite comment, criticism perhaps, but the truth is you don’t care and it only strengthens your resolve. Love a strong resolve.

Pisces
Mars is out of your sign as the new year comes in, he’s hot and heavy and has been communicating with Venus in a bid to let you see who feels pretty much all of those hot and heavies for you Pisces. He or she could be flagging over this period, if you know who they are and you’re interested it’s time to return the favour. If not? No action required.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of December 23

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

As the sun moves into Capricorn and with the winter solstice in the Northern hemisphere upon us, we feel the changing energy in the air. Whether a cold winter’s day, a festive season, or the remnants of a full moon across a bleak landscape, this week nostalgic thoughts remind us of our true intentions.

Compassion is all around, but only if we let it into our world and give it out a little too. Then, this week you can enjoy the spirit of love, whether lit up by seasonal tinsel, or simply with a realisation that it’s time to ring the changes.

 

ARIES

With the festive season in full swing, you’re attracting admiring glances and adoring words wherever you turn. Listen to your intuition or the workings of your sixth sense. Do you want to change your love life, improve it or stick with the tried and trusted? This week, although few decisions will be made, among the crackers and wrapping paper you will see how to create a very special, romantic future.

 

 

TAURUS

It’s a week when you realise that all the glamour and romance can go on and on, as long as you make an effort.  For without the light-heartedness of love, how would we ever begin to understand the magic of it? Without the excitement, how would we ever know who we really are? It is only through romance, that we can come to really know our true desires. This solstice you will know what those are.

 

 

GEMINI

There are times when seductive strangers aren’t enough. In fact, this festive week, it’s those friends who you’ve come to rely on over the years who will entertain you. However, there is someone from your past who may also lead you astray, more than you would like. Take care you don’t fall into their very well-prepared trap.

 

 

CANCER

You’ve accepted your weaknesses and tried to be more tolerant of others. And this kind of self-awareness, begins to work in your favour. With the lingering effects of the full moon, all the frustrations of the past will soon be replaced with the big, wonderful, bold strokes of love’s canvas again. After all, if there isn’t a little drama to sort out, then you aren’t being true to your own needs and values.

 

 

LEO

You’re thinking about someone a lot. Perhaps they are far away, or just not available, yet? When we miss someone, there’s a lack in our life, we feel a gap, or it’s like we’ve lost a piece of ourselves somewhere. But whether you make a hit with someone new, or you miss someone to bits, you will very soon move on and put the past well and truly behind you.

 

 

VIRGO

Festive decorations and family feasts or not, you’re in need of adventure. You want to loosen up, experience new dimensions of life, or if single, meet a new admirer. But if attached, it doesn’t mean you’re about to dump your partner. In fact, do you remember that old promise you made about loving yourselves better and doing more things together? Well, now’s the chance to plan to do so.

 

 

LIBRA

We can thank Jupiter in Sagittarius for the fact that our libidos improve, love is more free-spirited and at last you sense a release from the burdens of the past. This festive season, feel the changing energy, let it move you, and then you can truly get set for better loving.

 

 

SCORPIO

You feel like getting away from it all, frustrated by the world of possessions, people, and good old reality. With an impulsive desire to get out of that black hole of over-thinking, it’s a great festive week when your mind will be liberated from self-sabotage, negativity and worry for the future. Time to celebrate the new departure zone of self-love.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS

Thanks to Jupiter and Mercury in your sign, it’s hardly surprising you feel all romantic, and if attached, probably a teeny bit wishing you were single again. But over the festive break, don’t feel guilty for nostalgic thoughts, just let them be exactly that and they’ll soon evaporate into the winter’s air. And if single, getting closer to someone special becomes easier at last.

 

 

CAPRICORN

With the sun in your own sign, you begin to feel a sense of confidence in your long-term love plans. Although Saturn has made you feel realistic and at times uncertain of how to proceed, at last you can lighten up not only yourself, but also any festive party. You may need to make compromises and accept that love can be unpredictable because love is about people, so take a risk and join in the solstice spirit.

 

 

AQUARIUS

This is a week when nostalgia, compassion, and festive loving overthrows impulse and drama, and you see the truth of what love really means. Someone may awaken you to that gentle soul of yours within, so it’s time to nurture your secret dreams and realise that love is waiting out there for you, or maybe is already by your side?

 

 

PISCES

Chatting to strangers makes us feel liberated. We have no agendas to get in the way of who or what we are, or have been. This week’s festive events will bring a new contact who will certainly give you this kind of buzz. Consider cooling your heels though, or at least until you’ve got to know their faults as well as their finer points.

Your Horoscopes for the Week of December 23

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

You know Aries, opportunity dances with those who are already on the dance floor, so get out there and show the world what you are made of this Christmas. A better understanding between you and an older person begins and makes this festive week one where you can finally relax and let your hair down.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

This week you discover you are good at things you did not know you could do and in the process you start to feel more excited about the upcoming new year and all it may have to offer. This Christmas week is likely to see you having to repeat Christmas day to keep certain faces away from each other.

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

There is only so much you can do to help those you love Gemini. There then comes a point when you must step back and do what you think is best for you. This Christmas is indeed one of those times, but by sticking to what you say, you may actually be able to turn a close one’s life around.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

Things do not happen this week Cancer, they are made to happen. This is why I’m glad you didn’t follow the crowd last week, but instead you chose to take a stand and be true to who you are. Make sure you pick up items on time before Christmas or you may not be able to get them at all.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

You begin several new projects which help to make you feel as if you are taking steps away from the past and towards a better future. What you realise over the course of this Christmas is who you now want to spend the majority of your time with and why. Things you buy are also a big indication to all watching of who you love the most.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly and yet here you are taking life far too seriously since the beginning of December. Change this Virgo and ensure you look at life with a lighter view. It can help you to free up more time, so that trance like state turns into pro-active Christmas energy.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

If you would take your time and slow your pace then you would begin to have fun. Some would say that you are taking yourself far too seriously. However, I also know that you are finding the emotions which go with this time of year a little too much to handle. Friends make it a great Christmas if you follow their lead.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Why are you in such a hurry for it to be next week? Your sign usually loves this time of year, as long as it goes their way. Try to work out what and who needs to be your priority. This will soon help you to get some sort of shape to your life my friend. The written word can make you more money than you had hoped for if you start asap.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Travel is really well starred and journeys you make at this time should help you to get on a better level of understanding with what I can see are difficult faces. Money matters are also highlighted and there is a debt you need to clear before you come face to face with a close one.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

I am so proud of the way you have stuck to your beliefs. You now no longer worry (or care for that matter) how things look to those around, but you are instead working on making your life a better place to be. About time too! Group events over Christmas help improve the one to one relationships in your life.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

There are places you want to go and things and people you want to see this Christmas, and it’s up to you to make sure that you shape this week and don’t just give in to what others want to do. The anxiety you experienced has gone since a certain person has. Do you think that’s just a coincidence Aquarius?

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Try not to play games in love this Christmas week, or it really will come back on you. A gift which surprises you can tell you a lot about how much you have come to mean to a certain person. A last minute invitation is actually a cover for the invite someone is waiting to get into your world. Listen when others talk on Christmas eve for important clues.

The Complete Zodiac Gift-Giving Guide Is Here!

 

While the holidays may be the most wonderful time of the year—figuring out what to gift your loved ones can cause a whole lot of stress. Have no fear! We’ve got the perfect gift for everyone on your holiday wish list, all based on astrology. Scroll through to see what each zodiac sign really wants this year.

 

ARIES: An Experience

Aries like to very much live in the moment. They don’t particularly like material things but prefer to value memories. They are also the sign that truly embraces the motto “Carpe diem.” So, instead of giving them socks or a sweater, go all out with an experience. Concert tickets, skydiving lessons or even a session of hot yoga is something an Aries would love. Look for gifts that will give them a memory they will have for a lifetime (not to mention something they can Instagram about).

TAURUS: Luxury Item

Taurus enjoys the finer things in life. When they buy something, they only get the best because they know they’re worth it. Indulge the Taurus in your life by getting a gift suited to their high-end taste. A nice bottle of wine, fancy chocolates or a cashmere blanket are all perfect gifts for the bull sign. Lest you think you need to spend more than you should, you don’t have to break the bank to gift your Taurus a present. As long as if feels soft or taste good, your pal will love it.

GEMINI: Gift Cards

Gemini is difficult to shop for, mainly because they can’t make up their minds! Their wish list changes so often, it’s impossible to follow. And you might buy something for them, only to find out that they don’t like it in person. Save yourself the headache and buy them a gift card to their favorite store—then they can make up their own mind. If you’re worried that a gift card feels impersonal, put the gift card in a cocktail shaker since Gemini’s love to entertain or add it to a tin of their favorite baked goods.

CANCER: Journal

Cancer is the most sentimental of the signs, so giving them a journal where they can record all their thoughts, feelings, and memories is the perfect gift. A bullet journal or one of those five year journals they have been dreaming about or an old school scrapbooking kit are all thoughtful presents that gives them a wonderful emotional outlet.

LEO: Glam Gifts

The Leo in your life will love anything that helps them feel like they are the King or Queen of the Jungle. Selfie sticks, hair care products to tame that mane, makeup, jewelry and anything that makes them feels sparkly and special is at the very top of their wish list. They want to look and feel glamorous. They also wouldn’t mind anything they can use as a prop for their social media pictures. Leos also love anything with their name on it, so monogram gifts will score you big points with any Leo on your list.

VIRGO: Practical Gifts

A good rule to keep in mind when shopping for a Virgo is “What do I dread buying for myself?” And that’s what you should get a Virgo. This sign loves anything practical. When they buy anything, they want it to be functional and bonus points if it can do at least three other things. The perfect gift for a Virgo would be something they can use every day. Look at your Virgo carefully and figure out what they could use right now. Do they need a new mixer? Are their gloves getting kind of old and tattered? And you can never have too many socks. Heck, Virgo’s would be thrilled if you got them a case of batteries. Practical gifts may not seem cool but the Virgo in your life will love you for it.

LIBRA: Artsy Gifts

Libra is a very creative and artsy sign, so the natural gift would be a piece of art. Research who their favorite artists are or what kind of art they like. However, if you think they can’t fit one more picture on their walls, get them something to nurture their artistic talents. If they are a painter, get them some new paint or some canvas. If they are a writer, give them a journal and some nice pens. Or, give them the tools to get into a new artistic hobby this year.

SCORPIO: Unique Gift

Scorpios are probably the hardest sign to shop for, mainly because they are so darn secretive! We love Scorpios for their mysterious nature, except when it comes to the holidays. What’s the gift solution? Give them a present as unique as they are! Anything from a custom piece of jewelry, a one-of-a-kind painting, to an old antique will make a Scorpio happy.

SAGITTARIUS: Travel Gifts

The jet set of the zodiac, get the Sagittarius in your life something that will encourage their wanderlust. A cute passport holder, a backpack, travel guides or a camera will be perfect for their next adventure. If you are feeling a generous, gift cards to airlines or hotels are excellent gifts. Or, if you know where they are traveling next, buy tickets to a guided tour, local theatre tickets or a cooking class in the place they are traveling to.

CAPRICORN: Career Related Gifts

Capricorns are a hardworking sign, so most of the stuff on their wish list this year involves something to advance their careers. They would love a new briefcase, a faster laptop or just some new work clothes. If they are looking for a new job, buy them a few sessions with a career coach or hire someone to edit their resume and cover letter. Capricorns aren’t all work and no play; however, they also have a great sense of humor. They would also appreciate a sarcastic gag gift to put on their desk at work.

AQUARIUS: Tech Gift

Aquarius are the techies of the zodiac, possibly because they are so out of this world. They always want the latest gadget and latest “big thing” that is being released this time of year. If a new iPhone or gaming system is out of your budget, they will be happy with any accessories to accompany their new tech toy like a video game, wireless headphones, a portable charger or perhaps a gift card for some apps or streaming services. They are sure to love it—at least until the next big thing comes out.

PISCES: Homemade Gifts

Oh Pisces—they are so sentimental, its easy to make them cry with any gift. But if you really want to pull on their heartstrings this year, a handmade gift is the way to go. They’ll swoon over a scrapbook made up of photos of the two of you, a knitted a scarf in their favorite color or even making them their favorite cookie will bring on the waterworks. Pisces will love knowing that you took the time to make something just for them and they will appreciate the thought you put into the gift. Even if it doesn’t come out perfect, they will treasure it forever. —Ellen Ricks

Your Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, December 19

By Kelli Fox

 

Aries

March 21- April 19

Today you’re feeling grounded and down-to-earth. You might not always, but for now you prefer it. After all, the high and mighty can fall much farther than you. And isn’t telling the straight truth just so much more interesting? You could light a fire under someone without even trying! Which is always good for a few laughs. Don’t do anything just for laughs now, though — try to have a point, too. That’s part of what being practical is all about.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Feeling and thinking will lead to doing and making. Even if your goals are new, the same method will probably work again. You’ve been here before, and by now you should be comfortable in your creative role as a new cycle begins. So kick-start the engine to power up your latest and greatest. See if you can get it online today. If the whole thing isn’t ready to go, find the part you can live with and put that out for all the world to see. Whatever you’re doing here, you’re clearly an artist at work.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Restlessness won’t serve you well today, but it could be hard to stay calm. Remember that curiosity could prove to be the proverbial last straw. Some project or problem will be resolved soon, but not just yet. Ask questions with caution, and don’t expect to make any major strides toward a newer, better situation. Instead, try to be patient — which, granted, isn’t your strong suit. But that’s what’s required at the moment, and you can do it if you put your mind to it.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Be good for a while. Let your inner angel rule you today. Keep your smile real and steady, even if you can still see the dark side. Set an upstanding example for the world, if only to prove that you can still shine on command. Then, after you’re all caught up on those karmic honey-do chores, you’ll have a chance to kick off your goody two-shoes and get down and dirty — if that kind of thing still appeals to you. Amazingly enough, it might not be as much fun by then.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Your vanity may triumph today if the wrong people keep saying you’re beautiful, always right, or off the hook for something you did wrong. Things may be changing, and adapting to a new system won’t be easy if you have to start from the bottom. Chilly silence at inappropriate jokes might be the first indication that you crossed the line. Stop fighting for what doesn’t matter anymore. Make your peace now before the battle even begins. So what if someone laughs at you for surrendering? Don’t let them drag you into their downward spiral. Rise up instead.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Watch and listen carefully. Create the quiet conditions and natural lighting you need. Don’t like what your noisy neighbours are up to? Spread civilisation by acting civilised. They might laugh at first, but they’ll change their tune once they hear all the cool stuff coming from your house. Today you’ll work for harmony because you love the sound of it. But remember, you can’t maintain this purity forever. You can let a little friendly noise creep back in once you’re clear that everyone is getting along.

Libra

September 23-October 22

The easiest way to avoid a battle today is to keep to yourself. Don’t say anything that’s not absolutely necessary, which includes most of your current opinions — your view of the world is a little screwy at the moment. Your energy is off, and it’s better for everyone if you just sit back and take it easy. Of course, withdrawing completely won’t do, either. Find a happy medium between ‘lone wolf’ and ‘in your face aggression.’ Spend time with people you love and trust.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

A feeling of contentment settles over you today — but take a moment to check yourself and see if it verges on smugness. It’d be bad to get lazy now, and your discriminating tastes might end up closing too many doors. Balance is critical now, so open up your mind and work with other people instead of shutting them out or just ignoring them. You’ll find that they add a lot to your day, if you let them.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Fighting fire with fire might be tempting, but today it’s not the best approach. If someone is being a blowhard, don’t try to silence them with loud, impressive assertions of your own! In a room where everyone’s shouting and no one’s listening, how much really gets done? Sagittarius, instead of working at cross purposes, listen to the ideas of others and try to find common ground. That way, you won’t strain your voice, your health, or your bank account, and you can actually accomplish something.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Your Inbox might be full and your to-do list may be pages long, but you’re feeling energised, centred and in control. Any chaos that surrounds you at work or at home today will only serve to focus your own attention on the bottom line: What needs to be done, and what’s the best way to make it happen? Your perspective is clear and you’re able to be diplomatic with just about anyone. You’re actually quite charming now, which will certainly help bring allies to your side.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Relationships can bring substantial risk. As soon as you let down your defences, all kinds of things can get in. But do you want to live in a vacuum? If not, be more approachable today. Make sure you’re not working at cross-purposes with somebody who wants what’s best for you. Even when your intentions are golden, one little slip could look really bad. Do your best, and if you screw up, at least you can say you tried. You’ll have other chances to be perfect, especially if you find someone more sympathetic to your flaws.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

If you’re determined to get somewhere, go there without getting in people’s faces. If you have to push against the crowd, make it feel like a massage or some other kind of pleasant physical encounter. They’ll tolerate you if you tolerate them. Keep it real as you manifest gently today. By not pretending, you’ll stir up a lot of healthy curiosity in this calm but irresistible force you’re putting out. You’ll grow a stronger team in the process, too, because once you have them hooked, they’ll follow you anywhere.

The Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp

Discover the enlightenment of the Cusp of Prophecy

By Tarot.com Staff

Astrology, Capricorn, Cusp, Sagittarius

If you were born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp, from December 18 to 24, you are a true visionary headed toward certain success! You were born on the Cusp of Prophecy, and your strong will and intense determination will get you anywhere you want to go.

Jupiter rules Sagittarius as the planet of expansion, and Saturn rules Capricorn as the planet of limits and lessons — this means you get the best of both worlds! This combination of inspiration and sensibility blesses you with not only great visions, but also the practicality to turn them into something real.

You are fueled with the passion of a Fire sign (Sagittarius) and the determination of an Earth sign (Capricorn), pushing you forward with fierce tenacity! The Fire element helps you think positively and get excited about life, but Fire alone can die out quickly. Thankfully you are also influenced by the Earth element, which gives you an extra dose of stamina to take things to the finish line.

People born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp are social, caring, and loyal. You’ll always be surrounded by people who love and admire you and are interested in what you have to say. Being as enlightened and reasonable as you are, others continually seek your advice. Just be gentle and understanding with those who come to you! Teaching others is a strong suit of yours, as long as you don’t get aggressive or impatient with people who learn at a different pace.

The influence of the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp creates brave, hardworking individuals who are ready to thrive! You’re motivated and eager to climb ladders and kick some workforce butt. But your intense focus and drive can create a wedge between you and your loved ones. You are independent and uncompromising, and while that attitude will have you changing the world, you might wind up a little lonely from time to time.

If you’re born on this Cusp of Prophecy, you have all the potential you could ever imagine, right at your fingertips. Be thankful for the natural energy and determination that boils inside you, but make sure you use it for good. You can make a genuine difference, as long as you have a plan and know where you’re going! If you can remember to care for others and have a good time on your way to the top, you’ll be the teacher and leader you were born to be!

Strengths:

Responsible, outgoing, friendly, fair, loyal, humorous, successful

Your desire to expand your mind and experience all life has to offer — coupled with your determination and drive — can have you making a big, positive impact in your life and the lives of others. You’re able to see and understand the issues at large, then be organized enough to take the slow and steady steps needed to reach your goals. You know how to problem solve strategically, without losing your optimistic attitude — the makings of an incredible leader!

Weaknesses:

Moody, closed, intense, impatient, uncooperative, selfish

You can come across as quite isolated and intense when you’re in the zone. You’re influenced by that fiery Sagittarius energy, but your Capricorn side prefers to turn into ambition and success. With all this passion going into your work world, there’s not a lot of time left for the people in your life. Though you’re outgoing and loyal to those who make it into your circle, you might not offer them the emotional balance that a true friendship or romance deserves.

Compatibility:

Belonging to the Cusp of Prophecy means leading, teaching, and often being occupied at work or with your talents and passions. To have a successful romantic relationship, you must partner with someone who’s willing to listen and learn from you and understand your busy schedule. Fire signs will match your passion and encourage your hard work, but their go-go-go approach will test your patience. Earth signs will make you feel grounded, and they’ll appreciate your reliability as much as you appreciate theirs.

Advice:

Try not to cut yourself off from others so much. You’re a great worker and have brilliant ideas that will push you up the professional ladder, but spending too much time at work or on personal projects can limit your growth. You need intelligent, fun, and philosophical conversation to keep you inspired — which you can’t always find at the office. So let your social butterfly loose! Put more time into making friends and enjoying your loved ones, and you’ll feel much more fulfilled overall.

Celebrities:

Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, Meghan Trainor, Ryan Seacrest, Jake Gyllenhaal, Keith Richards, Samuel L. Jackson

Your Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, December 18

By Kelli Fox

Aries

March 21- April 19

Your youthful energy bubbles up today. However, the universe is urging you to slow down a little and take stock of your situation. Remember to stay civilised as you mix and mingle with other people, especially if you’re rubbing elbows with your employer or potential clients. You want to give them a sense of your raw energy, but you don’t want to come across as overly brash or unrefined. This will require fine-tuned social skills. Try to move deliberately through the world instead of behaving impulsively.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Creativity and culture are pulling at you. Let them. Surrender to the lure of the arts today, and don’t be shy about opening up your treasure chest. Start a far-reaching project. Maybe you’ll commit a month to this, or maybe you could set aside an even bigger block of time. But even if you’re just dabbling or doodling, you’re good on inspiration. Ask around for the materials if you don’t see what you want. You might end up with people as well as supplies, and imagine what you could do if you all joined forces.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Thinking instead of doing — now, that’s something you shouldn’t find to be much of a hardship. Today, you’ll enter a cerebral space. This may be contrary to your usual energy levels, but wild activity and a full schedule wouldn’t be realistic right now. Today is far better suited for sitting back and finding solutions to a problem or analysing a situation, and giving it your full brain power. Since you’re intellectual by nature, it’s easy for you to get into this. You know you can think now and act later.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Keep a firm grip on all those healthy habits and traditions. Practice good nutrition and personal cleanliness on all levels, even the ones where food or soap won’t realistically go. Because this isn’t just about taking care of your body. It’s part of something bigger, like not losing your social or spiritual cool in a tense situation. See where this is going? What someone else calls a figure of speech could easily become a way of life for you. Symbolism can work in the real world if you think about it.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Society is making demands on how you should be, and the voice of the majority is kind of loud. Maybe you’re following some of those prompts, although it’s hard to tell whether you’re any happier because of it. What’s just fashionable and what’s really you? How far will you go to fit in? What will it cost to stand up for your individuality and opt out of the system? It’ll be OK to withdraw while you figure these things out. And if you can avoid embarrassing yourself today, you’ll score a few extra points.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

It’s show time! So show off your stunning beauty. Give them another demo of your laser-like wit. Bring the opposition to their knees. You could probably do it in two minutes if you felt merciful, but where’s the fun in that? Yes, there’s a job you have to do today, but you also intend to have the ride of a lifetime while you’re doing it. As long as you’re sure about your place and purpose in the world, no one else will doubt you, either.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Anyone who says biological desires are unsophisticated doesn’t understand the elemental pleasure of human passion. You, on the other hand, understand it very well, and under normal circumstances, you’re a natural at handling your passions gracefully. Today, though, that could be a little trickier. You’re off balance, working at cross purposes with yourself, getting in your own way. Figure out how to balance elegance with satisfaction today. If anyone can do it, it’s you. Just try to stay calm if things don’t go your way.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

The truth is, sometimes you can be a negative force, especially when you’re feeling worried or vulnerable. That brooding, dark mood can be a real downer for folks around you. But today offers you a chance to heal, so make an honest effort to put positive energy out into the world. Staying calm and extending yourself to others will help you strike a much-needed balance between your own concerns and the needs of others. And people will really appreciate, and remember, your careful assistance.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Indulging in a sense of superiority won’t get you far in this world, but that’s what you’re doing at the moment. It’s all so humdrum and mundane, and you’re so much more fascinating, aren’t you? Well, that may be true, but it doesn’t give you license to patronise other people. You’re human, too, after all. Besides, who you used to be doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the person you are now. Check in with who you’ve become today. This could be an effective, humbling exercise.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Any projects you have on your plate today should proceed smoothly. You’re a master of common sense and lord over your own ego. You’ll bring experience to the table and set strategies that benefit everyone, not just you. That’s good, because this is no time to be selfish. If you chance upon a golden opportunity at work, team up so you can all reap the benefits. You’ll find that plenty of doors swing open for you now, and you can afford to be gracious. Hold the door for someone else to pass through, too.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

Enthusiasm is great, up to a point. Are you annoying people with all that cheerleading and sales talk? Don’t be so pushy. It won’t do a lot for your business, and it could harm you socially. If you want some real action, start a different kind of forward movement today. There has to be a better way of reaching out to friends, neighbours and random strangers on the street. Don’t incite them. Invite them. Make it worth their while with some kind of tangible payoff up front. If you feed them, they will come.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Do possibilities loom threateningly? Are strangers making you uneasy? Maybe you’re thinking way too much about stuff you don’t actually know for sure. Under less happy circumstances this could be slightly crazy-making, but luckily you’ll be surrounded by familiar faces today. It’s like a big, friendly fence going up between you and the unknown. Take advantage of your privileged spot in this eye of the storm. Take your time, adjust your attitude, and hope for the best. You’ll be a lot more ready once you have to go out there again.

How Magical Are You According to Your Sun Sign?

by Troi G

 

Do you believe in real magic? And by magic we mean serendipity, messages, signs, odd happenings, mysterious manifestations, and getting what you want with the power of your mind. We’re all magical to some degree but how magical are you according to your sun sign?

Note:

• Fire signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are really good at candle and sex magic.
• Air signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are excellent at mind magic and communication.
• Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces have really well-developed intuitive/feeling skills.
• Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are very good at using the power of the earth.

Aries March 21 – April 19

Aries, your strongest abilities lie in your adventurousness and courage. Therefore, your magical abilities lie in these areas too. How many times do things work for you when they would not work out for anyone else? Your sheer willpower carries you through. Tip: when you really want something to manifest for you, think about it at that magical moment before orgasm. All that power will be focused on your desire. Have fun with that.

 

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Taurus, you are so connected to the earth that your power seeps up from the very ground. Earth magic is a powerful force. Draw upon it to create security, stability, and refuge. Love and money spells work well for you because you are already tuned into abundance and certainty. Tip: next time you are thinking of bringing something new into your life, imagine the energy pulsing up through your feet. Like a magnet it attracts exactly what you need.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Gemini, your magical talent is in your ability to free up your mind. You are like an antenna, tuning into the wild network of thought and communication which surrounds us. You have a skill for picking out the important details, for anticipating what a person will say. This sensitivity can help you in all walks of life. Tip: This is a skill you can develop, don’t ignore it.

Cancer June 21 – July 22

Cancer, you are empathic and emotional. You know how someone feels instinctively. You can feel moods and tune into the atmosphere in a room. Therefore, you would be very good at tarot reading or other divinatory skill. Your ability to counsel someone through a difficult time is also part of your magical repertoire. Tip: Don’t underestimate your own abilities, you have magical skills that can help others.

Leo July 23 – August 22

Leo, your magical abilities lie in the realm of inspiration. You somehow always know what your next move is. It is as if you are guided by an invisible hand. Your personal charisma can be so magical that you always get your way. People always turn up when you need them. Tip: think about how you can use your magical abilities for good things. Giving leads to increased satisfaction.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

Virgo, you have a natural ability for healing. People calm down in your presence. You can call on that earth energy to give you all the strength you need to bring peace to any situation. You are the negotiator, the mediator, and the conciliator. Tip: if you haven’t already, explore the possibilities of becoming a professional healer. You will excel.

Libra September 23 – October 22

Libra, your magical skills lie in your ability to bring beauty, harmony, and balance. As an air sign, you are excellent at communication and you are able to see situations from both sides, including beyond the veil of life and death. You can even tune into messages from the past. Tip: Give yourself permission to listen to those soft, whispering voices.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Scorpio, you have a range of magical abilities. From knowing what other people’s true motives are, to communicating with the dead. The main downside is that you are drawn to the black arts as well as using your power for good. Tip: Stop, breathe, and think before you cast that curse. You are more powerful than you know.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21

Sagittarius, your positive attitude brings what you want, even things you didn’t know you wanted. Your optimism means you are constantly pleased and surprised by these magical, spontaneous deliveries. Tip: If you set your mind to it, your manifestations could be even more deliberate and satisfying. Take time to learn how to manipulate energy.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19

Capricorn, abundance and manifesting your desire are your top skills. However, you have others. That strong pulsing earth energy means you are far more spiritual and magical than you ever thought. You just need to keep an open mind and be prepared to try new things. Tip: buy yourself a book on witchcraft and see what you can do.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Aquarius, you are probably among the most magical people on the planet. You have the ability to communicate with faery folk and entities hidden from the rest of us. You can see and hear beyond the normal realm. Aquarius, you can create anything you want when you focus your power. Tip: the magical world is your oyster, explore everything.

Pisces February 19 – March 20

Pisces, your abilities lie in the realm of imagination. If you can imagine it, you can create it. Like the other water signs you are also a healer, a visionary, and can empathize with any living soul. Tip: Your special skills are in your dreamworld. Study the language of dreams and develop the ability to lucid dream. A whole new universe of magical possibilities will open up for you.

We all have the capability to tune into the magical world, if we want to. Why live a mundane existence when you can delve into powers and skills you didn’t know you have? Be adventurous, live your life with a touch of magic. Discover how magical you really are.

Your General Horoscopes for The Week of December 17

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

You can’t change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to enable you to reach your destination. This week is all about making small tweaks and changes to make your life a better place to be. You know your biggest communication problem is that you have not been listening to understand, but to reply. Ring now so I can help you change this.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

A worry you have had about a close ones seems to have been oversold. As this week unfolds, it seems a certain person was trying to blacken the reputation of others to make themselves look good. The way you dress is of more importance than usual and you start to realise what a better reaction you get when you think of your needs as well as others. Ring now to make the most of this festive month.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Try not to be upset about what didn’t work out. Instead, try to focus on what can go in your favour from here on in. You are such a strong sign and can achieve such success, but when you lose control you tend to lose total confidence. Get back on the horse this week Gemini, as the opportunities are just too good to miss. Ring now for an unusual Christmas prediction.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

A new view to a work problem can see you taking a really alternative path. You begin to feel more confident as a person and this has a natural knock on effect to your personal life too. More freedom to be who you are in the family is also becoming the norm. Embrace your future. It is a life worth living. Ring now for a glimpse at the amazing possibilities.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Your ruling planet the Sun helps you to heal both your own rifts and those of others. You no longer worry about how things look, but it is how they feel that is important to you. A softer approach with older faces is required if they are to tell you what’s really going on behind closed doors. Tests and exams taken now are likely to go in your favour. Ring now to make the impossible possible.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Jupiter, the planet of self expansion, helps you to look at life from a new and improved angle. Where before you saw problems, you now see a challenge. You are a stronger and better version of you and you welcome this fresh feel to life with open arms. A secret in love is not yours to tell, so try to use discretion. Ring now to hear who I think is worth giving a second chance to.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

A better feel to home life is apparent and that’s because you have learnt the fine art of compromise. You’re such a family orientated sign, that I know you have what it takes to change a close ones mind on a decision which you think would be a big mistake. Talks you have on Tuesday and Thursday hand you total control. Ring now for an unusual love prediction.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness. Weigh up the pros and cons Scorpio and make sure you are the one who is in charge of what does and doesn’t happen this week. It’s the key to you getting the best Christmas ever. Some of you think you cannot keep up the changes you’ve implemented. Ring now so I can explain why I know you can and will.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Friends make it hard for you to do what they want and the softened mood you showed for much of last weekend left you open to manipulation. Try to show what fire signs can do when they put their whole self into tasks. A good week to sort out financial affairs. Decisions for New Year could prove your most alternative yet. Ring now to hear who you need to show more faith in.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

I know that you are regretting something you have said or done, but it’s all in the past now and you have come out of what occurred a better and stronger person. Try not to get involved in love issues which don’t really involve you, as Mars tells me that you are unlikely to know the whole story. Ring now to hear why the chance to earn new money is linked to a very old contact.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

When you make up your mind to do something, then there really is no stopping you. Just make sure you keep manners to the fore this week though my friend. All you say and do at this time will be talked about and analysed for a long time to come. Trips you make for their emotional value are well worth your investment and time. Ring now to make every day count.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

 

Something you did not want to be a part of now seems to have become a permanent responsibility in your life. You take steps to separate yourself from such responsibilities and you do it with style and grace this week. Whatever are you going to do with more time and energy on your hands now Pisces? Ring now to hear why just a little mischief is allowed in the lead up to Christmas.

 

 

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week or December 17th

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

With Mercury moving swiftly forward again to conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius this week, you can be sure that all communication channels are well and truly open. But this also means take care with what you say, and what you don’t say.

In fact, those who think they know all the answers will probably discover they don’t, while others will see the truth behind any tricks or wiles. Whichever you are, keep your wits about you, but enjoy love’s games.

 

ARIES

You radiate charisma, and will, of course, attract fun-loving types, or those who want to find the truth about themselves through you. These are the people who can relax in your casual aura, or lose themselves in your enigma. And if attached, it may be a little too easy to be led astray by a seductive temptation this week. So enjoy the flirtations.

 

TAURUS

At long last, your true inner desires will produce the results you long for. Maybe it’s more romance within a routine relationship, or to leave a painful one where attachment rather than love keeps you together? True love is without conditions, hidden agendas or power play. Time to crusade for love and find it.

 

 

GEMINI

Realise that what you have, could be transformed into what you want without giving up on yourself. Indeed this week, mutual attraction is superb and just what you hoped for. But it’s more about making your own choices, and then the magic will begin to work, as if, strangely enough, by magic.

 

CANCER

There’s a general feeling that you can start to paint a very clear picture of what you want from one relationship. And of course, there will be those who judge too hastily, or moan about this and that. But more than anything, you need colour in your life. Bright, vivacious and romantic. So make sure others know that too.

 

LEO

If love is currently like a blank canvas waiting to be filled, you can begin to make the right kind of brushstrokes, or rather moves, towards someone who could one day be your real life masterpiece. Take it one step at a time. Painting by numbers may be a doddle, but learning the art of seduction needs some practice.

 

VIRGO

Someone is slightly envious of you. They see your energy, hear your laughter. They wonder if they can ever keep up with you. And, of course, they’ll pretend it doesn’t matter and why should they be like that anyway? But you know the truth  – they truly want to be with you. Show them you have compassion in bucketfuls.

 

LIBRA

You begin to wonder that it’s all very well being someone’s lover or partner, but what about being your own self too? So make it clear what you want, and what you will and won’t put up with in any current twosome. Remind others that you are passionate and need a fun life, but you also want some space to call your own.

 

SCORPIO

The cosmos is working for the good of your love life, but it can also bring up unresolved issues and concerns.  Time to honour and revitalise any existing relationship that’s flagging or static. But if you’re seriously going nowhere, then take a good hard look at whether there’s anything worth salvaging and what your true feelings are.

 

SAGITTARIUS

We often prefer to stay in the same situation, rather than change it, simply because reliability is safer. Leaving a relationship or discovering a new lover if single, can prove to be terrifying, because it is exactly that: unknown and therefore insecure. Right now, the planets are truly putting the pressure on you to sort out your feelings, and sort out the wrongs in your love life.

 

CAPRICORN

Somehow you want to get to some new place in your life. Maybe rekindle desire, share more, share less, have more freedom? Or is it to give up your independence and settle down? This week, these sort of questions and maybe a few answers will flash through your mind. Make sure that you recognise what it is you were looking for when you find it. Then, the doorway to a beautiful future will be truly open.

 

AQUARIUS

Do you commit or do you maintain your freedom? And with the planets reminding you that duty, order, responsibility and security are also what you are about, think carefully what it is you want most in the world.  By the end of the week, you’re ready to plot your future, so don’t waste time on trivial dreams.

 

PISCES

It’s all very frustrating because however much you wish for better things or to improve your love life, it just doesn’t seem to be happening. You’ve called on the cosmos, you’ve maybe placed a few crystals around your home, but why isn’t it working? Could it just be that you don’t believe in yourself enough? Rather than depending on other systems, why not simply believe in the one you can trust the most? You.

Sexual Compatibility by Zodiac Sign

Find your best Astrology match — in bed!

Each zodiac sign has a sizzling pairing that’ll really raise the heat between the sheets. Is yours a steamy blend of Water and Fire, or a sensual mud created from Water and Earth? Read on to see who’s your most sexy match in bed, and find out what happens when the elements combine in new and interesting love combinations!

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Hot and passionate Aries loves a challenge in bed, and what better sign than Gemini to keep this Fire sign guessing? Gemini’s flirtatious nature and non-stop motion matches Aries’ own fast pace, providing the sign of the Ram with plenty of excitement. Gemini’s airy intelligence and witty banter will also keep Aries interested long after the initial passion wears off, giving this duo a chance for more than just a one time fling.

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Opposites do attract, and in the case of Taurus and Scorpio, opposites not only attract, but they can’t seem to get enough of each other! Sensual and earthy Taurus is magnetically drawn to the depth and passionate intensity of watery Scorpio. Scorpio’s many layers keep Taurus hooked, always searching for this Scorpion’s essential nature. The smoldering chemistry between these two creates a magnetic force that’s obvious to even the most casual observer.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Curious, chatty and fun, Gemini loves to experiment and gets bored quickly. Aries’ pioneering spirit manages to keep Gemini engaged and breathless, introducing the sign of the Twins to innovative and unusual ways to pass the time under the sheets. Together, these two signs move through life at a rapid pace, absorbing exciting and interesting experiences as quickly as possible. Their shared enthusiasm and daring spirit keep this duo together long past the initial thrill has subsided.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Like the moon, Cancer’s passionate nature ebbs and flows, changing constantly. Earthy Capricorn provides this watery sign a stable and firm structure, allowing Cancer to really let go and relax. The opposing nature of these signs creates a secret and sexy tension between them, one that only they may be aware of. Capricorn’s private and reserved nature also brings out Cancer’s desire to soothe the inner beast that resides within this sign of the Goat.

 

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Leo the Lion is eager to please, enjoying the appreciation and attention of an audience both inside the bedroom and out. Charming Libra knows just what to say to bring out the biggest and the best in Leo, encouraging a performance that few can compete with. Libra’s seamless ability to create a romantic backdrop for acts of passion also feeds Leo’s desire for luxury and drama, ensuring that this Lion’s roar will soon transform into a contented purr.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

When Virgo relaxes, this earthy zodiac sign’s strong attention to detail can really pay off between the sheets. Intuitive Pisces knows just what to do to help Virgo escape from the details of daily life and focus on more important matters. Bringing their magical powers of imagination to the bedroom, Pisces helps Virgo shed its inhibitions and open up. Virgo is intrigued by Pisces’ “go with the flow” approach and loves to help Pisces reach new heights of pleasure and bliss.

 

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Beautiful, diplomatic and artistic, Libra wants sex to not only feel good, but look good too. Leo can transform even the most mundane of experiences into a legendary good time. Leo gives Libra an affair to remember, creating romantic encounters filled with drama, intensity and excitement. Libra loves Leo’s expansive approach to love, and is turned on by the Lion’s willingness to do almost anything to please and entertain in the

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

Scorpio’s magnetic force is hard to resist and its sex appeal is legendary, yet Taurus’ grounded and earthy nature manages to provide Scorpio with just the kind of challenge this watery sign loves. Placid, stable and content, Taurus is an oasis of calm, just waiting to be stirred up. Scorpio is more than intrigued by Taurus’ Bull-like nature and will do just about anything to generate a reaction from this second sign of the zodiac.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Fun loving, adventurous and risk-taking, Sagittarius is always up for just about anything. Aquarius’ inventive nature keeps just one step ahead of the sign of the Archer, creating day time dalliances and evening encounters that no one else could even come close to dreaming up. Sagittarius loves feeling slightly off-kilter and is electrified by Aquarius’ unusual approach to love and sex. Between the two of them, this pair can just about create lightning when they really get going.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Capricorn’s approach to sensual matters, like everything else in life, is deeply serious and committed. The sign of the Goat loves nothing more than to get goaty with watery Cancer, who provides just right amount of fluid openness for Capricorn’s earthy substance. Cancers bring an emotional touch to their encounters, helping Capricorn go deeper and act with greater intensity. Together, these two opposing signs can create steamy encounters between the sheets that are unforgettable.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Quirky Aquarius loves to be surprised with new and unusual ways to connect in the bedroom. As the wanderer of the zodiac, Sagittarius acts as Aquarius’ guide to exploring the unknown. Sagittarius is a connoisseur of diverse techniques to experience pleasure, and loves to share these with uninhibited Aquarius, who is always up for a challenge. Together, this duo ventures into new and virgin territory, ready to experience whatever life has to offer.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Pisces has a rich fantasy life, full of interesting encounters and situations.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Sunday, December 16th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)
Learn to let go. That is the secret to your happiness. New plans come to light surrounding Christmas which should give you renewed faith in someone who recently let you down. Geminis link to a new social path you’ll be heading down.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)
I know you are nervous about the events which are coming up, but you really have no need to be. The past is gone and the new you who has been created during this very emotive process is better and stronger than ever before.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)
Why are you asking others what you should do with your life when you should be asking yourself what makes you happy? News from far away gives you reason to get excited about the new year.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)
Lies you tell this week will come back on you, so try not to tell any Cancer. I know you are embarrassed by recent events, but the sooner you move on, the sooner others will too.

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)
Communication is the magic word for you Leo. For it is only by talking more and not less to those you have been having problems with, that you will be able to find a solution. Don’t cancel plans for this week. Unforgettable times are waiting.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)
Your need to see someone you can’t get off your mind could see you going to some extreme lengths. Does this not prove to you that your life is moving in a new direction? Life is about to get more than a little interesting.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)
The unsettled feeling you have been experiencing is you realising that things have to change. I know you are not sure what you want yet, but by admitting out loud what you don’t want, your journey to happiness will begin.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)
Try to be nice to all you meet today, for it is the very faces you think won’t help you, who do in fact hold the key to a better future. Try to work on taking down some of those walls you put up last month. It will lead to a better you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)
Things you say yes to at this time will be a sure sign to your close ones that you are a happier and more contented Archer than you were at the beginning of the year. This improved confidence is sure to see you getting support which was not available before.

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)
There are so many great things going on around you, so why focus on the negative. It would seem that a certain person who let you down has had more of an effect than you thought they would.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)
Your need to know what is going on in the lives of those around you could see you saying things which others could see as rude and invasive. Try to make a more conscious effort to keep manners to the fore.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)
Fun times are ahead for you Pisces. You no longer worry about what other people think or say, but you are acting from the heart (and on impulse). Instead of complaining about not seeing a certain person, call them up and arrange something.

The Astrology Room

Your Daily Horoscope for Saturday, December 15

Kelli Fox, Astrologer

 

Aries

March 21- April 19

Turn your attention toward other people today. You’re in an unusually soft-hearted mood now. You genuinely want to help someone in need. And with your energy, you can really make a difference. So if an opportunity to be of service presents itself, take it. Helping someone in need is an emotionally fulfilling experience. It also helps you realise how well off you truly are. And that, dear Aries, is priceless.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Take it easy today. You’re a diligent, hardworking type, but you also appreciate the value of rest and relaxation. And this is the perfect day for it. Put on a good movie or CD, or relax on the couch with a book. Indulge in a nap or a bath. And get to bed early tonight. Your energy may not be quite as strong as usual, so extra sleep helps you conserve your strength.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

It’s difficult to make a decision today. How are you supposed to be decisive when the world looks fuzzy at best? The particulars of a situation just aren’t clear to you right now. Don’t try too hard to clarify them. Just wait things out. Your mind will sharpen again soon. If you have to make a decision, first consult someone you trust — a friend or an expert who can offer you perspective.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Today is perfect for connecting with others at the heart level. Reach out to long-distance loved ones via phone calls, letters or emails. Let them know you’re thinking of them. And if you’re lucky enough to be near your favourite people, gather them together for a visit or a home-cooked meal. Many people need this kind of nurturing today. They’ll be especially grateful that you reached out to them.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Allow yourself to move slowly today. Don’t push yourself to achieve something big and amazing, or to be bold when you don’t feel very courageous at all. Instead, pamper yourself. Treat yourself with the sensitivity you’d show to a good friend who was having a hard day. Take a nap or a warm bath. Make yourself something nice to eat. These small indulgences will make you feel better.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Accept images, impressions and emotions as they come today. You’re in a dreamy state of mind, which is unusual for you. Normally you analyse your thoughts rigorously, seeking some kind of pattern or logical meaning that simply may not be there today. Letting your mind wander may not be second nature to you, but that’s exactly why you should embrace this feeling state. Challenging yourself is always a smart idea.

Libra

September 23-October 22

You’re always soft-hearted, but today it’s as if you’re made out of gooey caramel. You’re soft, sweet and easily dented! The best way to use the current energy might be connecting with your loved ones or getting lost in a silly movie. Otherwise, you might overreact to someone’s offhand comment and get your feelings hurt — but bottle up your unhappiness instead of talking it out. Be tactful but direct, gentle Libra.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

You can have a calming effect on others today, because you’re feeling so emotionally centred yourself. This is a great skill and gift now, when many people around you might be feeling melancholy or insecure. Bolster their spirits with kind words, a smile or a warm hug. This is the nurturing side of your personality coming out. It feels good to express such caring for others.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Disorganisation could get the better of you today, if you don’t battle against it directly and aggressively. But since details aren’t your strong point, this could be a tall order. You may end up feeling overwhelmed by the items on your task list, or just the tide of clutter threatening to engulf your desk! To get through this confusing, scattered day, focus on this simple mantra: ‘One step at a time.’

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Kindness is especially important today, and much appreciated by everyone. Of course, you possess a naturally well-developed sense of common courtesy, whether that means holding the door for an elderly person or listening attentively when a friend is speaking. But now, make an extra effort to exercise these values. You can make people feel wonderful simply by treating them with genuine warmth and respect.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

It’s okay if you feel like withdrawing from the hubbub of life today. This is a good day for laying low and gathering your strength. Spending time with people you love and trust feels restorative, as if you’re repairing your soul. Taking a nap or getting to bed early is also a good idea. Think of this as a brief respite before the pace of life picks up once again.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

You might spend much of today lost in fantasy. Reading books and watching movies are good activities now. They stimulate your mind as well as indulging that escapist part of your soul that wants to explore imaginative realms. Creating your own imaginative realm through writing or music is also a wonderful way to spend your time. Above all, let your thoughts wander where they will. The true adventure is in your head.

Your Daily Horoscope for Friday, December 14

By Kelli Fox

Aries

March 21- April 19

Slow down today. Pushing ahead at your usual hectic pace will only lead to confusion and running around in circles. But if you take it easy, things will roll along at their own pace. And truthfully, isn’t it nice to get a little break? Life can be so demanding. Today is perfect for relaxing with a good book. Or get absorbed in music or an engaging film. Let your mind wander.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

Kindness and creativity are your keywords for today. The gentle side of your personality comes to the fore now. You have a smile and a kind word for everyone you meet. You’re famous for holding grudges, but now it’s much easier than usual to forgive and forget. Thus, it’s a wonderful day for bridging gaps in your relationships. You can make a heartfelt connection with someone from who you previously felt estranged.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You’re feeling creative today. At least, you would be if you could make any sense at all of the impressions and feelings currently swamping your consciousness. The best you might be able to manage is just letting these emotions come, and sitting with them as they pass through. If you’re lucky, some thought or image will make sense to you. If so, write it down so you can revisit it later.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Your intuitions are extra strong today. You can read people quite clearly, even if they’re bottling up their true feelings. It’s especially easy to read your friends and loved ones, and to make them feel well cared for. The best kind of love you can offer, after all, is your compassion. When someone feels truly understood, it’s as good as a hug. This is the gift you can give others today.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Life could feel a little rough today. But really, it’s just that you’re more emotionally sensitive than usual. Of course, you’ve always been a softie. You might fool people with your bold, courageous personality, but you can actually feel quite insecure. Today, that comes out in vague worries or a general sense of discouragement. Reality seems harsh. But remember, it’s all a matter of perspective. Soon, you’ll feel strong again.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Life’s edges get a little fuzzy today. For many, this softening is a pleasant experience. But for you, it can be nerve-racking! It feels as if everything is just slightly out of your control. And you do enjoy feeling as if you have a firm handle on things. But maybe this is a good opportunity to experience a different perspective. Don’t judge or even process your emotions. Just feel them.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Today you’re extra sensitive to other people’s needs and feelings. This can be both a good thing and a challenging one. For example, if there’s tension in one of your relationships, you’re more likely now to take a passive role in deference to the other person. But sometimes, it’s better to take a stand — even if doing so is difficult. Try to judge each situation on its own merits.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Today, let all pre tenses and manipulations fall away. Whatever personal agenda you may have seems unimportant in the face of your urge to connect with others in a simple, heartfelt way. It’s also easier to resolve tensions. If someone has hurt you, you can forgive them now, once and for all. This clears not only the air between you, but your own mind and heart. That’s how true healing and growth begin.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

At the end of the day, you may feel as if you lost time to wishy-washy feelings and perceptions. But let yourself off the hook. You may not get a lot accomplished today, at least not on the outside. But inside, your emotions are developing. Give yourself time to make sense of the images and feelings that come to you now. Soon, they may provide more inspiration than you expected.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Matters of the heart seem more important today than anything external like work, recognition or accomplishment. Your only duty now is to connect with the people you love. And reaching out to them isn’t just for their sake. It’s for yours, too. Take this opportunity to reaffirm the bonds that keep you close with family and friends. Days like this are what carry your relationships through rough spots and emotionally lean times.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You may find yourself drawn to meditation or yoga today, or some other practice that helps you get in touch with a higher state of being. A good, simple way to do this is just to take a few quiet moments to get in touch with your feelings. Of course, exploring a spiritual or transcendental philosophy can be quite liberating. But sometimes, just checking in with your own emotions is all you really need.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

You’re drawn today to acts of selflessness, or even self-sacrifice. It’s wonderfully fulfilling to help people or animals in need. But your energy may be a bit low now. Don’t hold it against yourself if you simply can’t do as much as you’d like to do to help someone. As long as your heart is in the right place, that’s all that matters. Do what you can, and let that be enough.
