Horoscope For Today: Sunday, December 1, 2024

At 1:21 am, the New Moon rises in Sagittarius, filling everyone with hope and excitement. Later, emotional Luna squares strict Saturn at 7:49 am, forcing us to scale back overly ambitious plans. It will be necessary to lengthen deadlines and tighten budges. An opposition between the Moon and excessive Jupiter at 3:45 pm further emphasizes the need to under-promise and overdeliver. Hearts and minds finally unite at 8:29 pm, when the emotive Moon conjuncts mental Mercury.

Aries

Although you’d dearly love to expand your horizons, there’s precious little opportunity to do so now. Responsibilities at home and work are keeping you tied to one spot. Soothe your irritation by listening to some online lectures about fascinating subjects. The more intellectual stimulation you get, the easier it will be to deal with the heavy responsibilities that have been laid at your door.

Taurus

A close relationship is causing problems in your social circle. Some of your friends don’t approve of your romantic or business partner. Instead of trying to convince everybody to get along, set some firm boundaries. Don’t talk about this union with people who disapprove of it. Ultimately, you must decide who you’d rather be with. The answer will become crystal clear after an intense argument this evening.

Gemini

It’s almost impossible to talk with your best friend or romantic partner today. You’re irritated by their tendency to generalize, while they accuse you of nit-picking. Obviously, this isn’t the best day to tackle sensitive topics. It’s especially important to avoid arguments in a public place. The last thing either of you need is to put your issues on display. The best strategy is to keep your opinions to yourself until tomorrow.

Cancer

Beware of biting off more than you can chew. Resist the temptation to volunteer for a project or do someone a favor, especially if you don’t have much free time today. You must err on the side of your own mental, physical, and emotional health. If that means taking a nap instead of picking up someone from the airport, so be it. It’s time to stop playing the savior; you have better things to do.

Leo

You don’t take a problem very seriously, which creates tension in a close relationship. As far as you’re concerned, financial shortages or past traumas aren’t worth worrying about. Unfortunately, someone close can’t ignore these issues. Neither one of your approaches is wrong. It’s a matter of being compassionate with each other. You can still be sympathetic without getting drawn into a depression spiral.

Virgo

Tackling household chores will be more complicated than you expect. Someone needs you to come to their rescue. Dropping everything will be very inconvenient, but it can’t be helped. By the end of the day, it will be clear you must cut back your schedule. You simply can’t be expected to run interference for everyone else. Clear your schedule tomorrow so you can enjoy a day of rest and relaxation. Make this a weekly occurrence. 

Libra

It may seem like you’re surrounded by people who want an honest exchange, but that’s not the case. Whether you’re discussing a work project or talking about holiday plans, listen more than you speak. You’ll quickly see that there is a larger agenda that doesn’t suit you. Give noncommittal responses to questions, make a hasty retreat, then create a strategic plan to escape a bad situation. 

Scorpio

A fresh source of income may become available, but beware. There could be a lot of strings attached to this job. It’s possible this role will involve distasteful responsibilities that you can’t handle. Hang on and keep looking for something that aligns with your values. If you’re deep in debt, reach out to your creditors and work out a payment plan. It’s possible you can get your interest rate reduced or late payment fees waived. 

Sagittarius

You’re excited to explore new territory, but past disappointments fill you with fear. It’s important to find a way to work past this pain so you can forge a happy future. Unfortunately, your best friend or romantic partner doesn’t understand the seriousness of your problem. They think you’re being overly dramatic. In situations like these, it can be helpful to talk to a professional counsellor or therapist. Their objectivity will help you heal.  

Capricorn

The peace and quiet you desperately want is unavailable. Your priority should be responding to messages, running errands, and tying up loose ends. Putting off these tasks for another day will cause real problems for both colleagues and friends. Part of the problem is that you haven’t properly trained people how to perform certain tasks. Give everybody a crash-course on doing work that only you’re able to do. 

Aquarius

Working as part of the team is a waste of valuable time and resources. You’ll do much better going solo. The secret to your success is an ability to make rational decisions very quickly. Instead of endlessly deliberating over what to do, you immediately see a clear path to success. Others may be hurt when you don’t ask for their opinion, but it’s better that way. You know what you want and how to get that result. 

Pisces

An exciting career opportunity may not be as secure as you think. Resist the temptation to accept a job offer from a start-up company. After doing some research, you’ll realize this work will be high on stress and low on pay. This is disappointing, since you yearn to make some big household improvements. It’s important to remember there are other ways you can finance this project. Keep calm and carry on.
