Horoscope For Today: Tuesday, December 5, 2023

Sagittarius season is in full swing, and while we are in the shadow period of Mercury in Retrograde, there is no need to stress yourself out yet. Today, December 5, 2023, is full of pragmatism and some decision-making, but the planets aren’t planning to leave you totally hanging. The Moon is in Virgo, giving our emotional realm a healthy dose of practical, realistic guidance as we interact with the world—but also some pressure to keep things on schedule. 

Try not to be too hard on yourself because the Moon is forming a trine to eccentric Uranus in fellow Earth sign Taurus. This is a great day for flexing creative muscles and being more persuasive to accomplish what you want if you’re willing to switch up your approach and roll with the punches. 

Additionally, Venus in Scorpio is forming a trine to stoic Saturn in Pisces—softening Saturn’s rigid approach every so slightly but also making today ideal for making long-term commitments and discussions surrounding what those look like. 

Check the signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what the day has in store for you!

Aries

Today, you have some great opportunities for getting creative projects at work off the ground, but there could be some tension between you and your coworkers if you’re too hard on yourself. Plenty of ambition and creativity is lined up with the Moon in your 6th House of Health, Habits, and Wellness, forming a trine to Uranus in your 2nd House of Income and Values. You have the ideas and can be persuasive, but emotionally, you may be leaning more toward logic. Make sure others feel heard—you can be a bulldozer when you want to be!

It can be daunting, but Venus in your 3rd House of Communication forming a trine to Saturn in your 7th House of Partnerships can help smooth things over. 

Libra

Financial matters might feel more pressing—and stressful—than you’re used to, Libra. With the Moon in your 12th House of Subconscious forming a trine to Uranus in your 8th House of Shared Resources and Bonds, you’re gaining some realizations on changing up the ways you share money and who you’re tied to financially.

With Venus in your 1st House of Self and Identity forming a trine to Saturn in your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure, you could feel inspired by some long-term plans for your creativity and romantic life—what does joy look like a year from now? Five years? Ten years? Sit with the goals and the dreams and see where they lead. 

Sagittarius

If you’re willing to take a new approach, it could work well for you at work today, Sagittarius. With the Moon in your 10th House of Career and Public Image forming a trine to Uranus in your 6th House of Habits, Routines, and Wellness, making some changes in your usual work habits could lead to a promising breakthrough in terms of your career. Sharing a new idea or feeling confident enough to bring something up to your colleagues/boss could feel empowering—just be sure you’re not letting your words run away from you (we are in the shadow of Mercury in Retrograde, after all!). Your home life may bring up some desires to make a longer-term commitment to the place you’ve put roots within—there are still some things there that you should sit with before trying to change everything all at once, so be open to some revelations today. 

Capricorn 

Where could your passions take you if you did things differently, Capricorn? Today is a good day to think about this with the Moon in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel, forming a trine to Uranus in your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure. Sometimes, we must be willing to completely abandon what we think will make us happy to find what truly will—and it could point you in an ambitious direction. With Venus in your 11th House of Friendship and Networking forming a trine to your ruling planet Saturn in the 3rd House of Communication, talking through your lofty goals with those who know you well could give some added confirmation. 

Aquarius

The weight of family, finances, and the long-term may be on your mind more than usual today, Aquarius. The Moon in your 8th House of Shared Resources and Bonds, trining Uranus in your 4th House of Home and Roots is likely to bring up some memories and realizations about your unorthodox childhood and the ways it could stand to impact your family relationships now—especially with older family members who aren’t in the best health. You are big about rationalizing your emotions, and that can help in some ways, but work on not being disconnected from the whole process. Additionally, you could receive some good news work-wise regarding your finances. Today could give you some opportunities if you’ve been hoping for a much-needed pay raise or some extra money for the season. 

Pisces

It may be a good time to get some conversations going, Pisces. With the Moon in your 7th House of Relationships forming a trine to Uranus in your 3rd House of Communication and Community, some unexpected circumstances could kickstart some conversations that have been on the back burner for a while. The good news is that you can approach these talks rationally and with a good head on your shoulders—but it’s good to ensure you aren’t letting your words bulldoze or run away from you. Misunderstandings happen, but you will want to clear them up ASAP. That’s not all on your mind today, though—Venus in your 9th House of Philosophy, Higher Education, and Travel is forming a trine to Saturn in your 1st House of Self and Identity. You’ve been contemplating more about expanding your mind and experiences, but you’re unsure of the best ways to do that without abandoning everything you already have. Conversations with your loved one and those closest to you may help clear some things up and set you on a path you can be excited about.
