Your Daily Horoscope, by Madame Clairevoyant: December 17, 2024
The moon spends most of the day in moody Cancer before moving into Leo this evening. Mystical Neptune enters the picture in early afternoon, lighting up your imagination and creativity. It’s probably not the best time for productivity — even the grandest gestures could end up being surprisingly ineffectual — so take some pressure off and give yourself permission to daydream instead.
Aries Daily Horoscope
You tend to be relatively straightforward. If you’re feeling tired or angry, you’ll say so; if you want something, you’ll go out and try to get it. Today, though, life may feel more complicated than usual. Your desires are tangled up and confusing; your emotions are layered. Sometimes, this can be frustrating, but right now, it may be surprisingly enjoyable. You’re more complex than you sometimes give yourself credit for, and spending time understanding your vibrant inner world can be deeply rewarding.
Taurus Daily Horoscope
The more you can keep an open mind, the more likely you are to meet interesting new people today. If you give a chance to the people who look or talk or think differently than you do, you may forge deep new friendships. If you write them off, you’ll end up missing out. Just remember you’re allowed to have your boundaries, too. Some differences may prove too much for you to handle, and it’s up to you to know where you’re willing to bend.
Gemini Daily Horoscope
It’s one thing to make small day-to-day decisions. Even if you waffle a bit, you know most of the choices you make ultimately aren’t that serious. Lately, though, you’ve struggled to be decisive when it comes to the important stuff. You don’t know what the future will look like and you may not even know what you want, so how can you make the choices that will shape the rest of your life? Today, it’s possible to get comfortable with uncertainty again. Even when you don’t have all the information, you still have your instincts and common sense to rely on when thinking through the haze.
Cancer Daily Horoscope
The more ambitious a goal, the quicker you are to talk yourself out of it. You list all the reasons it could never work, telling yourself it was foolish to dream up anything so bold. As bright and capable as you are, it still seems like a waste of your time and energy to work toward anything that’s too out there. Today, though, being too sensible will only hold you back. Pragmatism has its place, but so does wild inspiration. Don’t assume your dreams are impossible.
Leo Daily Horoscope
Lately, you’ve felt stuck on the same problems, turning them over and over in your head but never coming up with any satisfying answers, only tiring yourself out in the process. It could be tempting to keep pushing even harder, but try doing the opposite instead today. Give your brain a rest and a solution might finally come to you. It may seem to appear out of nowhere — but really, you’ve already done the hard mental work; you just need to relax and wait for some clarity.
Virgo Daily Horoscope
Your boundaries are important to you: You’re unlikely to dump all your feelings on somebody you just met, and even with your friends, you’re not typically one to overshare. It isn’t that you’re secretive, just private. But while you’re under no obligation to tell your life story to everyone, today could be a good day to open up. At first, it may feel embarrassing to tell friends about your vulnerable memories or deeper feelings, but it’s also a way to bring you closer together.
Libra Daily Horoscope
You try to stay humble, but you’re only human so sometimes your ego comes roaring to life. Today, you may be filled with jealousy: Everywhere you look, you see other people who seem to have the relationships or career you want for yourself. Your envy could consume you if you let it, so try to stop thinking about yourself so much. Turn your focus to helping others and making yourself useful. Your compassion may end up bringing you closer to the things you wanted than striving or self-promotion ever would.
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
It’s important to you not to be naïve: Life is tough, and you don’t want to be caught off guard. You would rather set low expectations and be pleasantly surprised than breezily hope for the best and be left scrambling when things fall apart. Today, just make sure your pessimistic side isn’t infringing on your ability to enjoy yourself. Don’t go into everything assuming the worst. If you let yourself believe happiness is possible, at least some of the time you’ll be right.
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You’re happy to help others when you can; it feels good to be generous with your time and energy. Still, it can be frustrating when others take you for granted by seeming to assume that you’ll always be available on their schedule, that you have nothing else to do with your time. Today, make a point of saying “no” to the things you can’t (or simply don’t want to) take on. It’ll feel good to take back some of your time and say “yes” to what you genuinely care about.
Capricorn Daily Horoscope
When trying to figure out whether you can trust someone — a partner, a colleague, a friend — you tend to rely on the data. Leaving vague feelings and vibes aside, how has this person actually acted toward you? It’s a solid way to make up your mind about someone — for the most part. Today, you may not be able to shake a feeling you get about someone. Your intuition doesn’t stem from nowhere, and while it may not be the deciding factor, it’s still worth paying attention to.
Aquarius Daily Horoscope
Sometimes, learning how to trust yourself means pushing yourself to take on new challenges. Just because you haven’t done something before doesn’t mean you can’t pull it off. But today, remember that even though your limits are probably wider than you imagine, that doesn’t mean you should ignore them altogether. Be willing to take a risk or two — but if your gut is saying it’s time to pull back, listen.
Pisces Daily Horoscope
Expressing yourself sounds like the easiest thing in the world, but in reality, it can be intimidating. You worry about how others will respond if you tell them your innermost desires; you fear a thoughtless comment or lukewarm reaction will deflate your self-confidence. But today, if you feel moved to open up anyway, go for it: Your confidence is sturdier than you think. Remember, the point isn’t to make a particular impression on anyone else but simply to put your own ideas out in the world.
