HOROSCOPES: DECEMBER 5, 2018
MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping and big decisions from 3:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Entrepreneur Walt Disney (1901) shares your birthday 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.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Avoid arguments about politics, religion and race because misunderstandings are classic today. In addition, it’s hard for you to get behind your beliefs because something makes you unsure of things or clouds your perceptions.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Postpone important discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt or insurance because this is a poor day for these matters, plus you feel halfhearted. Someone might deceive you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Your energy is low to the point where you might feel tired or unable to handle the normal demands of your life. Basically, your body needs the day off. Take it if you can. Because of your low energy, discussions with partners and close friends will be dubious.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Your vitality is lower today — no question. Therefore, cut back on the demands that you are making for yourself today. Take it easy. Even though your idealism is aroused, you will want to avoid direct confrontations with others.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Romance might be disappointing today. However, in large measure, this is coming from your own attitude, which is low key and possibly lacking in confidence. You might feel inadequate or discouraged about something. Fear not; this is a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a good day to focus on family issues, especially related to a parent. Don’t make waves. Don’t insist on getting your own way. Pull back and see which way the wind is blowing because issues are confusing and things are not quite as they appear. Be cautious.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Go gently today. Don’t try to persuade others to agree with you today because issues are confusing. Someone might deceive you or be devious. Plus it’s hard to believe in what you want to say because you yourself are a bit hesitant. Rely on your common sense today, not your ideals.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): This is a poor day for important financial negotiations or big money decisions because you might not have all the facts. Someone might deceive you. Or you might just “miss” something. When in doubt, it’s best to do nothing. Be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. (See above.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
You are low energy today. Not only that, conversations with family members might be confusing, circular or a bit pointless. It’s not a good day to do work that requires a lot of self-confidence and courage. That’s OK. You can’t be a Horatio Alger figure every day.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is an element of confusion present today. It might be hidden from you or it might be apparent. Knowing this, refrain from initiating important new ideas because you might not have all the facts, which means you are at a disadvantage. Wait for another day.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a bit sneaky or tricky. If you are dealing with a friend or a group and you feel that something fishy is going on, it is. Or possibly, you are confused? Because it’s hard to know what’s really going on and to trust your situation, postpone important decisions until Friday.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Do not take things at face value when dealing with others today, especially parents, bosses and VIPs. Even if others are well-meaning, there is an element of confusion to everything. It’s possible someone will deceive either accidentally or on purpose.
