Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, December 18th

We enter into a transition phase today as we anticipate tomorrow’s exciting trine between magnetic Venus and unorthodox Uranus. Additionally, an anxious aspect between energetic Mars and jolly Jupiter in jittery Gemini emboldens us to believe that we’re diligent. Unfortunately, we could tire ourselves out by trying to be everything for everyone. Although the compassionate Pisces Moon promotes empathy, it’s wise to establish clear boundaries.

Aries Horoscope

(Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your day could start off as if it was a dream, but you may quickly acknowledge the limits of your fantasies as other people’s expectations become more real. It might be difficult to balance your inner and outer worlds because your enthusiasm builds throughout the day, tempting you to go the extra mile in search of success. Instead of trying to avoid the inevitable, let go of any resistance and ride the wave while you can.

Taurus Horoscope

(Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be in an unsettled mood today, especially if you’re distracted by someone you really like. Paradoxically, although you typically seek security from routine, you’re excited now by the idea of doing things differently. Embrace your current sense of exhilaration since reaching many long-term goals is possible as long as you are willing to take a risk.

Gemini Horoscope

(May 21 – Jun 20)

Your mood lightens up today, yet you could be carried off by the changing breeze if you’re not somewhat careful. Your whimsical desires and clever witticisms are less constrained now by social conventions. You might even feel as if you can get away with anything. Go ahead and let your thoughts soar; just don’t lose sight of your ultimate destination or you may end up making decisions that will delay your arrival.

Cancer Horoscope

(Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Everything starts off lovely today and you feel strongly connected with your own emotions. This is sweet for you watery Crabs, but the energies shift as your comfort turns to worry. You know something big is on the way, but you can’t discern exactly what it is yet. Be flexible and keep an open mind so you can see where you are heading before you arrive, and not after it’s too late.

Leo Horoscope

(Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your creative expression kicks in early today, yet you might lose focus if you try to act on every good idea. It’s smarter to pay attention to the symbols that arise from your imagination now rather than trying to over-analyze your dreams. Allow your fantasies to entertain and excite you, but be conservative with your commitments. Don’t assume that you know what you want; it may turn out to be surprisingly different from your previous expectations.

Virgo Horoscope

(Aug 23 – Sep 22)

If you have been experiencing differences of opinion with someone you love, it might be time to mend the conflict. A sudden resolution may come as an unexpected surprise, especially if no one has to give in to anyone else’s demands. However, an out-of-the-box answer requires a lot of flexibility for everyone involved. You can get what you need as long as you remain open to all of the possibilities.

Libra Horoscope

(Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your life feels more unpredictable today, yet you don’t really seem to mind. You may even be swept up in a tide of uncharacteristic enthusiasm as you consider an upcoming trip for relaxation or study. Your desires are pulling you into unfamiliar territory, yet you’re open to the edgy experiences that this uncertainty suggests. Your natural talent can flourish in new ways, so don’t hold back when it comes to expressing your creativity.

Scorpio Horoscope

(Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There may be so much happening today that you cannot keep up with your own thoughts. However, there are very real issues that need to be addressed now, affecting situations in the outer world. But you could discover that you have made more promises than you can effectively keep. There’s nothing wrong with getting caught up in your own exuberance as long as you remember to conserve some of your energy to make it last.

Sagittarius Horoscope

(Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You continue to be a source of support and inspiration for others, even if your feelings are pulling at you from different directions. Your inner voice is reminding you to take care of your own needs; if you don’t, then you won’t have much energy to give to those around you. This is a challenging time because you must sustain multiple perspectives. Be patient; the longer you can postpone starting a new project today, the more equipped you’ll be to do a good job.

Capricorn Horoscope

(Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If your life has grown overly rigid, you may feel excess stress today as you dream about making radical changes. Your current opportunities at work are tests to see if you can loosen up enough to take advantage of the possibilities now coming your way. However, it’s not just about maintaining a flexible attitude; it’s also about setting priorities. Whatever you currently eliminate adds to the potential of increasing your freedom down the road.

Aquarius Horoscope

(Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are arriving at a high-energy intersection, and might feel the need to take charge and make something awesome happen. However, today’s opportunities won’t last long, so you have to be ready to jump in now if you want to capitalize on them. Initiate deliberate action to actualize your dreams before it’s too late.

Pisces Horoscope

(Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The past feels like a vortex today, and you’re being sucked into it while simultaneously being pulled into your future. Weird energies that are invisible can add stress to your life as they float around you now. Nevertheless, your excitement is at a very high level. Don’t try to avoid the tension; your best chance to resolve a lingering problem is to move directly toward its center. The way out is right through the middle of the storm.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for December 18th

Every year around December 17 and 18, the Sun lines up with the heart of the galaxy in which we live, move and have our being. Far-out thoughts and rare revelations can put you on top of the world. A sense of magic is in the air early today since the Sun is in polarity with productivity-enhancer Ceres (12:39AM PST) while the Moon in Pisces makes its monthly union with healing maestro Chiron (2:37AM PST). Study up on advances in the fields of alternative medicine, telepathy and past-life recall.  Call a halt to haphazard approaches to important business affairs as the red planet Mars jousts with giant Jupiter (7:54AM PST). Being reckless or pushy won’t win you any brownie points during this kind of challenging Mars-Jupiter conflict.  The smallest of the four main asteroids — Juno — enters Capricorn (7:27PM PST) which is a key sign related to industry and big business. Even if you think it may be doubtful to become a mover-and-shaker as a deft entrepreneur, the movement of this celestial body into the tenth sign of the zodiac can become a major catalyst toward reaching a professional summit.  The love boat may be entering exotic ports of call as Venus nears a parallel with Pluto (forming exactly at 2:40AM PST tomorrow). Romance beckons, but it is wise to remain somewhat cautious since Pluto always maintains one foot in its underworld, mysterious labyrinth
