Your Daily Horoscope: December 16

horoscope if today is your birthday

A Mars-Mercury aspect on your birthday this year will sharpen your mind and your tongue, but you have to make sure that what you say is backed up with 100% facts. Wishful thinking is no substitute for knowing your subject from start to finish.

Aries (March 21-April 20):

Today, you can easily use your powers of persuasion to get people to buy into your ideas, but don’t pretend you know all the facts. If there is any doubt about what you want them to do, then you must speak up.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

A partner or loved one won’t thank you for meddling in their personal affairs today, but later they’ll realize that not only do you have their best interests at heart, but you’re doing the right thing. In fact, you see it better than they do.

Gemini (May 22-June 21):

Good news is coming your way, but if you’re wallowing in your own worries and dilemmas, you might be missing it. Yes, the world can be an unkind place at times, but you’re doing pretty well compared to most people. Celebrate this fact.

Cancer (June 22-July 23):

You may be reluctant to turn down an offer, most likely because you don’t want to make someone angry and cause a stir, but if you’re smart, you’ll say “thank you, but you’re welcome.” At stake is your money and your reputation.

LEO (July 24-August 23):

If you see or hear something in your favor today, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it. Some might say you’re taking too much risk, but you’ve never been the type to play it safe and don’t plan to start now.

Virgo (August 24th to September 23rd):

A co-worker will try to blame you for a mistake that isn’t entirely your fault. Don’t let them get away with it. If you’re honest enough to raise your hand and take responsibility, then they must too.

Libra (September 24th to October 23rd):

Even if you’re the type of Libra who sometimes struggles to get your message across, you’ll find your voice and voice your opinion over the next 24 hours. Try not to be too sharp in your comments, though. Let the facts speak for you.

Scorpio (October 24-November 22):

If you believe that all things are possible, they will be, but don’t lose sight of the fact that it won’t happen naturally like magic—you’ll still have to put in the hard yard effort. Fortunately, your sign knows what hard work is.

Sagittarius (November 23-December 21):

You will find it easy to win friends and influence people today, but after getting their attention you will have to deliver on your promises. Plus, make sure you can do anything you want someone else to do—in fact, do it first.

Capricorn (December 22-January 20):

You will need to work closely with other people today if you are to achieve the rather lofty goals you have set for yourself. You may have ideas and energy to match, but it will take teamwork to make it happen.

Aquarius (January 21st to February 19th):

You won’t be short of ideas for the next 24 hours, but you might try to do too much at once and get nothing done. One day at a time, one thought. That’s enough.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20):

If you have something to say today, say it without fear of offending those who might disagree with you. Whether at home or at work, the planet insists that you call it what you see. The most important messages are rarely well received.
