Horoscope For Today: Thursday, December 12, 2024

Today marks some tension for the zodiac signs, especially in our romantic connections!

The main source of frustration involves Venus, the planet of love and beauty, in Aquarius, opposing Mars, the planet of aggression and drive, in Leo. Passions feel heightened, and we can feel insatiable in our desires—which can lead us to trip up and do something we may regret if we aren’t careful. However, this transit also encourages us to find the balance between these energies—what is driving us, and what are we prepared to do about it?

Later on, we feel more grounded when the moon in Taurus forms a sextile to Saturn in Pisces. This may remind us of our responsibilities and confront us with the realities of our choices if we’ve been acting on impulse, but it can also push us to set and pursue the goals we want out of life.

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

Aries

Passion is running high for you today, Aries! You desire to express yourself, likely with someone you’re already connected with, but intense emotion could lead you to make a choice you can’t undo—so be mindful before you act on something that could change everything. You’re reminded of your responsibility later, as you are drawn back to what grounds you—the weight of responsibility can weigh heavy if you’re trying to keep secrets. 

Taurus

You want to get ahead, but be sure you’re doing it in a way you won’t regret, Taurus. Opportunities to move up at work could occur due to you catching someone’s attention—or if there has already been an established connection between you and someone of influence, tensions may be running over. Remember that this may impact the way others see you, so try working with making connections through other means.

Gemini

Falling for ideas is tempting, but you have to ground it in something real, Gemini. You may come across someone who embodies everything you aspire to—the temptation to idolize them is strong. However, not everything is what it seems, and your illusion may be shattered when something behind the scenes comes to light. Keep in mind that throwing away everything you know for the idea of someone won’t satisfy you, especially when you recognize that people are flawed.  

Cancer

Tensions around what you are owed—or what you owe to others, are heating up today. Whether involving money or emotional connection, you’re in a vulnerable place, and the opposing forces between Mars and Venus have you on edge, potentially placing yourself further into someone else’s debt. We all make mistakes in the moment, but the stakes are high in this case; you need to think things through before making any major decisions. You may have more people to turn to than you realize, so don’t allow one person to hold something over your head.

Leo

You’re so determined to be yourself that you may risk more than you realize in your relationships, Leo. It makes sense to want to be true to yourself, and it can be hard to feel as if you don’t have the autonomy you desire, but where is the line before you make a mistake you can’t undo? You have to decide how important it is to assert your independence in this situation—do you need to double down here, or is your tunnel vision blocking you from the bigger picture? You will be reminded later of the support and trust you’ve established with those close to you, especially regarding your emotional well-being, so think things through before you cross a line.

Virgo

You have some decisions to make in how you navigate your future relationships, Virgo. Whether you’re single or partnered, you’re being faced with the temptation to engage your passionate side in secret. You’ve considered this possibility before, but what will you do when you’re given the chance? Remember that all secrets eventually make their way to the surface, and if you’ve established trust that is at risk, you will want to consider what you will lose. Ask yourself if you can be okay with making a decision that has the potential to change everything.

Libra

The desire to express your passions is fueled by the people you surround yourself with, Libra. Your ability to charm is in full force today, but what happens when someone takes the bait? If someone calls your bluff, you may feel the impulse to follow through. You may be reminded today that this is reminiscent of some less-than-ideal habits you’ve held in the past, so ask yourself if you’re going to move backward—or are you willing to move on?

Scorpio

Your desire for power and admiration may cost you, Scorpio. If someone else gives you the admiration you aren’t receiving at home, you may be more vulnerable than you realize. If you can be mindful of the promises you’ve made, you may find that your connection is more solid than you’ve given it credit for. 

Sagittarius

Your thirst for adventure may result in overflowing tension, Sagittarius. The temptation to cross a line rather than be content in your life is aggressive and could make you want to take risks you’ll regret. You’re reminded later that you have a lot at stake, and throwing it away over a case of the grass is greener syndrome would do more harm than good. 

Capricorn

You don’t want to owe anyone anything, Capricorn, but when an impulse decision threatens to blow up the security you’ve carefully built, you may have to ask yourself what it’s all worth. There are ways to express yourself without destroying the foundation you’ve laid, so rather than self-sabotage, take a step back and think things through.

Aquarius

Others being drawn to you may fuel some jealous arguments today, Aquarius. Whether you’re entertaining these dalliances or not, you aren’t a fan of feeling as if you’re being “controlled.” However, making a mistake just to prove a point won’t solve anything. It’s best to sit down and figure out what is happening beneath the surface for the sake of everyone involved. 

Pisces

Secret romances aren’t the exciting ride you think they are, Pisces. While it may feel invigorating at first, you’ll eventually grow tired of how this plays out, and these types of things always have a way of coming to light when you least expect. Save yourself the ache and be transparent from the jump—or walk away from those who would prefer to keep things in the dark.
