Today's Horoscope – December 25, 2024

December 25, 2024





Aries

With so many positive signs coming your way, you may be a bit impatient with those who try to waste your time with their tales of woe. Even if their problems seem a little silly or neurotic, show some compassion and understanding. You never know when you might need a supportive shoulder in return. For now, the ground under your feet is solid and your steps are sure.

Taurus

A feeling of being hemmed in and constrained by circumstances could cause you to look for a way to break free of the ties that bind. Investing a large sum in a can't-miss opportunity or a business deal that promises a stupendous return, however, could leave you holding an empty bag. You cannot buy your way out of a stranglehold, but you may be able to negotiate a loosening of the pressure. Think creatively.

Gemini

You have something to settle with your partner, and you may as well get on with it. Starting the dialogue with a preachy attempt to influence future behavior is likely to have exactly the opposite effect you desire. Show some restraint; invite the other person to go first and allow them to talk without interruption until they're finished. Respond rationally. Your intellect is your best negotiating tool.

Cancer

Words aren't enough today. You may have everything you want to say worked out perfectly in your head, but as soon as you open your mouth it's as if some trickster has grabbed your words and twisted them into unrecognizable knots. Others may try to be patient, but what they are hearing from you sounds nonsensical. Take a deep breath, pause, and start over. Explain the situation as swiftly and succinctly as you can, and then put off further speeches until your lips are in sync with your mind.

Leo

Wanderlust has grabbed your fancy and won't let go. Maybe your nose is pressed hard to the grindstone at the moment and you can't whisk yourself away on an impromptu adventure, but you can liven up the day-to-day routine with some creative thinking. One option is to start planning for the trip of a lifetime. Just collecting travel information and reading about exotic places will help channel your longing. With the right planning, you can achieve this dream.

Virgo

The vision is tantalizing, but you are having trouble. Something is preventing you from reaching out and grabbing what you want. Are you magnifying real restrictions into insurmountable obstacles? Perhaps you're creating artificial constraints to help insulate you from failure. Remember, every new venture involves risk. When the potential payoff is good and the conditions are right, you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

Libra

Don't try to sugarcoat your message today. Say what you mean and mean what you say without dancing around the issue. That's not to imply you should blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Collect and structure your thoughts first, but once you have them organized, don't be afraid to lay your cards on the table. Responses from others will be just as direct, opening the door to a productive exchange.

Scorpio

Peer pressure and the pack mentality are hard to resist. But the fact that you prize your individuality and wave it like a banner will give you more than enough strength to resist any urge to fall in line. Nevertheless, the tendency to jump on the bandwagon is very powerful, especially if someone extends a personal invitation. It may be hard to hear your inner voice urging caution. Move away from the din, turn up the volume on your intuition, and heed the message.

Sagittarius

You have a good handle on what you need to do and the focus to get on with it. You may even finish the necessary tasks so early you have loads of extra time to devote to a favorite hobby or relax in a comfy chair with a good book. Your happy smile as you go about your business will spread sunshine and influence people's moods today in ways you can't always see.

Capricorn

Contending with wild mood swings, either yours or other people's, could consume most of your energy, leaving you with little to show at the end of the day. Although stops and starts normally wouldn't bother you so much, you're feeling an intense urgency right now to push forward. Running in place leaves you frustrated and exhausted. Instead of fighting these conflicting forces, take control by making a plan of action. Write it down if you must, and encourage yourself to follow it.

Aquarius

You just love being the center of attention (most of the time) and you are definitely in the mood for performing today. Whether telling stories to coworkers in the break room, charming a sales clerk, or flirting with a server in a restaurant, you leave them all wreathed in smiles. This surfeit of goodwill can serve you well whether you're throwing a party or approaching the boss with an idea. Keep everyone laughing.

Pisces

Trying to impose your agenda on others could backfire today, so think twice before getting up on your soapbox. Despite your conviction that you really know what's best for everyone, the people around you might not be quite ready to buy into your beliefs. Lead by example instead of lecturing. Concrete results will have much more persuasive power than criticism or grandiose pronouncements.
