HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Wednesday, December 5, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

You might be confused by discussions about politics, religion, philosophy, astrology or something esoteric today. You hear the buzz, but you're not sure what's being said.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

This is a poor day to make important financial decisions, especially regarding inheritances, insurance disputes or shared property. You probably don't have all the facts. Forewarned is forearmed.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Do not jump to conclusions if you have difficulty dealing with friends or partners. Things are not as they seem today. And in some cases, the truth is being twisted.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

You have low energy at work today, which is why it's hard to get 100 percent behind whatever you're doing. Don't worry. Cut yourself and others some slack.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Romance is confusing today. It's also disappointing. Just remember: Unexpressed expectations almost always lead to disappointment. (No one can read your mind.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Some kind of confusion is taking place at home or when dealing with a parent. The first thing you have to do is separate reality from fantasy or reality from wishful thinking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Don't be hard on yourself if you spend a lot of time daydreaming today. We all need "mental-health days" like little breathers in our busy routine. No biggie.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Postpone important financial decisions for another day, because you might be deceived today or, possibly, your facts are incorrect. Trust nothing. Make no assumptions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Not only do you feel low-energy today, you're having second thoughts about doing something. You are futureoriented and like to feel sure about what you want to do next. Yeah!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Today you will second-guess yourself because you wonder if you're doing the right thing. Check your facts and your sources. You might avoid a bad decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

When talking with a friend today or perhaps a member of a group, if you think something fishy is going on, it is. Not everyone is being straight with you today.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Be careful talking to bosses and parents. Make sure you understand what they expect from you. Repeat back to them what they want, because confusion is rampant today.

YOU BORN TODAY: You are confident and independent. You are naturally enthusiastic, and you have an agile mind. This year exciting changes and beginnings await you as you begin a new cycle. Because what you start now will unfold in the future, it's time to clarify your goals. It's also time to take the initiative. Good news! Your physical strength will increase this year.
