Horoscope for Today: Thursday December 5, 2024

Tread with care, since everybody feels on edge today. The trouble starts when the moody Moon opposes irritable Mars at 10:28 am. Responses to innocent questions can be downright mean and sarcastic. Similarly, people have a knack for getting on our nerves just for breathing. Our impulse to Hulk out dies down at 9:18 pm, when the Sun conjuncts Mercury in upbeat Sagittarius. Instead of sweating the small stuff, we’re able to see the funny side of any problem. What a relief!

Aries

Emotional upsets can wreak havoc with your digestive system. Give your body a break and step away from a stressful domestic situation. If a relative keeps giving you grief, put them on mute until you feel better. You may even want to go no-contact for a prolonged period. Trust your instincts to know what is right. Writing about your feelings can be a welcome relief. Be brutally honest. You don’t have to show your work to anybody else unless you feel like it.

Taurus

You’re tired of dealing with somebody who has a bad attitude. Instead of dwelling on the problem, put this pest in the proper perspective. The moment you stop allowing others to affect your mood, the happier you will be. It can help to smile in response to a rude or sarcastic remark. Responding to their comments in an absent-minded way can also be empowering. Digging into a research project will be a welcome distraction from any relationship that gives you grief.

Gemini

You’re upset that you’re not making as much money as you deserve. Instead of lashing out at the world, change your outlook. Affirm that you are rolling in wealth. Imagine yourself driving your dream car. Picture checking your bank app and seeing the amount you want in your account. The less you focus on lack, the easier it will be to attract the abundance you want. Model your attitude after the luckiest person you know. 

Cancer

You feel defensive today, probably because everybody expects you to do all the work. It’s time to set some healthy boundaries. If people think you’re mean and unreasonable, so be it. The truth is you have only one pair of hands. The sooner everybody learns to take care of their own business, the happier you will be. Clearing your schedule of other people’s jobs gives you time to finish an outstanding project. Take yourself out for a good meal as a reward.

Leo

Stop being your own worst enemy. The faster you raise your vibration, the better your life will be. Rather than dreading a task, picture executing it perfectly. Practice appreciation wherever you are, whether it’s waiting at line at the bank, getting the oil changed for your car, or heading to a doctor’s appointment. Listening to a funny podcast or uplifting music can help tremendously. Your sunny outlook will attract lots of romantic interest.

Virgo

Instead of reacting to a friend’s irritating behavior, head off to a quiet place where you can hear yourself think. When you face an important decision, there’s only one opinion that really matters: yours. Others may accuse you of being selfish or stubborn, but that’s because they have a vested interest in what you do. Keeping busy with pleasant domestic chores can soothe your anxiety and help you make a choice that puts you in a much better position.

Libra

A bossy attitude will grind progress to a halt. Instead of micromanaging a project, have faith that everyone will do their jobs perfectly. Adding words of encouragement and thanks will also help you achieve the success you desire. If you’re looking for a job, refrain from applying for every position that comes through your feed. Make it your mission to apply for just one or two opportunities that really appeal to you. Take a neighbor or relative’s pep talk to heart. 

Scorpio

Legal problems are causing stress. Rather than imagining the worst outcome, assume that everything has been decided in your favor. Robotic affirmation can be very soothing at times like these; try it! If a trip gets canceled or postponed, don’t stress. You’ll end up having a much better time because of this change. If you stumble across a lucrative job post, be sure to apply. You could quickly double your income.

Sagittarius

Extreme actions can get you in lots of trouble. An adventurous person like you prefers excitement to peace. However, you must be careful about pushing yourself into the danger zone. Err on the side of the caution today. Maintaining a predictable routine may be annoying, but it’s better than racking up huge fines or doing battle with a vindictive person. Engaging your intellect is always a good distraction. Make it your mission to learn five new words or read the first chapter of an intimidating book. 

Capricorn

Conflicts with a romantic or business partner are getting on your last nerve. It’s also possible that a rival will do something that makes you see red. Find a healthy outlet for your anger. Aerobic exercise is always a good option. Rolling out dough, pounding clay, or scrubbing the floor are other ways to release any tension that builds in your body. This physical release will flood you with peace. At that point, you can settle in for a warm bath, affectionate cuddle, or deep sleep. 

Aquarius

Health problems are a sign you are burning the candle at both ends. Force yourself to slow down and get more rest. This can be difficult for a visionary like you, but it is necessary. Listening to white noise, binaural beats, or birdsong can lull you into a peaceful state. Thankfully, a considerate friend is willing to lift some burdens from your shoulders. Ask them to run a couple of errands on your behalf. You can always return the favor later. 

Pisces

Someone’s childish attitude makes you realize it’s time to implement changes. Stop letting someone treat you disrespectfully, regardless of their role in your life. Standing up for yourself may involve issuing an ultimatum. Be ready to reinforce your words with action. Are you interviewing for a job or meeting with an important client? Radiate enthusiasm and don’t forget to smile. A positive attitude will turn the tide in your favor.
