ROYAL STARS
By Georgia Nicols, for Sunday, December 4, 2022
The stars show the kind of day you’ll have:
★★★★★ Dynamic
★★★★ Positive
★★★ Average
★★ So-so
★ Difficult
Today’s Birthday (Dec. 4). You are highly independent. In fact, you take pride in being different and calling your own shots. You are a risk-taker who some might view as eccentric. It’s important to create solid foundations in your life this year. Take charge of your health. Stay organized.
Moon Alert: After 7 a.m. EST today (4 a.m. PST) there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★ This is the kind of day where it’s wise to trust your Spidey sense. In other words, if your instincts or your gut tells you that something fishy is going on, it is! Double-check travel plans. Political discussions might be psychobabble. Tonight: Observe.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Today the Moon is in your sign. When this happens (for two and a half days every month), it heightens your emotions, but it also attracts some good luck to you. Why not ask the universe for a favor? Meanwhile, double-check financial matters. Tonight: Coast.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★ Don’t assume that instructions or information from authority figures is necessarily correct, because you might be acting on faulty information. This could be due to an error, incompetence or a desire to manipulate or deceive you. Tonight: Be alert.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ Be careful in everything you do today that is related to your pet, your health and your job, because not only is there room for confusion and misunderstanding, there is even a possibility of deception. Likely, it’s an incorrect assumption. Clarify! Assume nothing. Tonight: Caution.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★ You might be disappointed by romance today. Possibly, a social occasion will disappoint as well. Be aware that false expectations, misunderstandings and even deceit are possible in romantic relationships, as well as in dealing with your kids. Know where your kids are. Tonight: Go slowly.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ Be careful with family members today, because Neptune can create confusion. At best, Neptune is impossibly idealistic and so nuanced that one can miss the point. At worst, Neptune is deceptive manipulation. Keep your hands clean. Tonight: Be understanding.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Be extra careful in all your communications with others today, because you might be misunderstood. Or possibly you will misunderstand someone else, especially if you make assumptions. There’s a lot of confusion happening today. (Possibly intentional.) Be alert. Tonight: Be discerning.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Be careful handling cash or conducting financial negotiations today, because some kind of confusion or deception might cost you money. In the same vein (different arm), if shopping, keep your receipts (and the box) in case you change your mind after you get home. It’s a fuzzy day! Tonight: Guard your assets.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★ Be realistic when dealing with romantic partners and loved ones. You might expect too much. Or you might be disappointed because you didn’t state your expectations. A few might even encounter a breakdown in a relationship. Tonight: Speak responsibly.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Tread carefully, because something going on behind the scenes might make you apprehensive or nervous. Or it could be something secretive that could affect you. (A hidden love affair?) Don’t agree to anything if you feel a bit hesitant. Tonight: Listen.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You might feel disappointed with a friend today. If so, you have to ask yourself if your expectations of this person were realistic. They might feel confused by you. We are all frail mortals struggling on this darkling plain. Tonight: Be wary.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★ Once again, you might feel confused when talking to authority figures today (including the police). Try to determine if the confusion is based on incompetence and misunderstanding, or if it’s an intentional deceit. Commit to nothing if you feel hesitant. Tonight: Think independently.
