Daily Horoscope for Monday, December 20, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The Moon in your sign today makes you kinda feisty. (You know who you are.) At some point in the day (probably in the afternoon) it makes a crunchy aspect to Saturn. This puts a squeeze play on relationships with family members. Especially parents.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is the kind of day where you have those vague worries, and you're not even sure what they are. You just know you're supposed be worried about something. (You're on worry duty.) In fact, you might even be worrying about what it was you were supposed to be worrying about. Oy vay.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be charitable and patient with friends today. Don't make a big deal out of things. It's easy to feel offended, or shunned or shut out. Of course, no one wants to feel this. Be comforted by the fact that millions are feeling weird feelings of dejection and rejection today. (Pretty horrifying isn't it?)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This could very well be a bummer day to talk to your boss, parent or teacher. You might want to avoid this kind of thing. It's important to realize that what you're feeling today isn't based on reality. You just think it is. Life looks worse than it is this day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Difficulties with publishing, travel, legal matters, and people who are far away create minor obstacles today. This is nothing to get your belly in a rash about. It's small potatoes, really. Nevertheless, who wants ill treatment from the universe? "Not I," said Chicken Little.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is not a good day to borrow money from a friend or a group. Nor is it a great day to lend money to a friend or group. Cooperation with others about shared possessions or anything that is held jointly is not forthcoming. Hence the expression: talk to the hand.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relationships with practically everyone are a bit stilted today. It's not your fault. It's them. Every one of them. You're perfect. We know that. What's wrong with them? Every one of them. You'll just have to grin and bear it. Why not buy yourself fresh flowers on the way home?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Coworkers might not be particularly cooperative today. The best way to approach this is to expect very little. In fact, if others show up to work -- be grateful. Just do your job. Just get the facts. People have a distorted, negative perspective today -- fortunately, only briefly.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

It's easy to be impatient with children today. It's a great illusion in our society that children have a carefree life. Studies show that children can be quite unhappy. Today is the very day that young people need extra hugging. You should do with this because you need hugging too.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! That's how family discussions feel today. Avoid them if you can. But definitely, make sure you are part of the solution and not part of the problem. Actually, don't even try to be part of the solution. Back off.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might feel worried about a lot of little things today. You might even take offense at something someone says. The fact is -- none of this is worth it. This bleak, dejected moment is brief and over very quickly. (Dark chocolate always helps.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel poor today. Mike Todd said that poverty was a state of mind. He said he'd been broke many times, but he was never poor. (But then he have his own plane, the Lucky Liz.) Some things are easier said than done.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jenny Agutter (1952) shares your birthday. You're bright, quick and impulsive. Your ideas generate lots of activity. You love to dive into new areas of study and exploration. You study the mind with your head in the clouds, and your feet firmly planted on the ground. An important choice awaits you this year. Choose wisely.
