Here’s what the stars have in store for you today (Picture: Metro.co.uk)

With Mars/Uranus dialing the emotions, get ready for a reckoning.

Virgo, if you’ve been tolerating tension for too long, it’s your moment to assert yourself – but handle those feelings with care if you value their friendship.

Scorpio, if someone’s been taking more than they give, it’s time to talk – the result might be the fresh start you need.

Ahead, you’ll find all the star signs’ horoscopes for today: Thursday, December 21, 2023.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Go easy Aries, as with Venus and Mars linking to Uranus, the coming days can find you eager for more independence, but also stirring up some chaos. Is this the kind of freedom you want, especially as there’s a likelihood that you might undo something you’ve worked hard for? A pause for thought can prevent you from making a rash move and lead to a much better outcome

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

There’s a side of you that’s very determined, and this may come to the fore over coming days, especially if you feel strongly about something you want. If you and another can’t agree about this, then it’s unlikely you’ll be willing to compromise. The days ahead can be fraught with tension unless you find a practical and innovative solution that works for all concerned, Taurus.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

You may have a cast-iron determination to get something done, when suddenly things don’t go as planned. Be prepared to be flexible over coming days and to have other plans ready if necessary. Still, if there’s something you really want, you might be willing to rock the boat to get it. Feel restless and edgy? Any activity that grounds you and leaves you settled will be helpful, Gemini.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

A meeting could have the effect of shaking you up, and for a while it might seem as though a cyclone has entered your life. Something about this person can stir you and may encourage you to see life in a different way. On a similar note, the awkward Mars/Uranus aspect could find you acting out of character Cancer, by seeking new thrills and plenty of excitement.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Just when you thought it was safe to relax, you may find you’re called to help with something that needs attending to urgently. This could affect your schedule Leo, and might mean that the well-deserved rest you had planned fails to materialize. Your response though depends on who you’re dealing with. Some adore drama for drama’s sake, so be aware of this.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

With the Moon heightening feelings around a Mars/Uranus angle, this can be a time of reckoning. If you’ve put up with an edgy situation for too long, you may be ready to argue your point. And unless you attempt to hold back, you could say all those things that have been building up inside. Bear in mind Virgo, this could jeopardize a bond that’s taken time to build up, so go easy!

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Matters linked to finances, business or an intimate bond, could cause a disconnect. And because stubborn energies are involved it might take some time before communication resumes. If you feel frazzled, it’s understandable as this may not be your fault. Rather than whip up more drama, try to detach and you’ll begin to see this in perspective. Then you’ll know what to do, Libra.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

If there’s been an imbalance of give and take in the relationship department, a Mars/Uranus tie could rectify this, but not without a conversation that might be awkward rather than sparkling. If tensions have been building, this link may cause feelings to spill over. Out of this situation a fresh start is possible if you play your cards right. Be ready to put the past behind you, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Sometimes it can be difficult to let go of something in which you have invested a lot of time and energy, but this may be the situation you find yourself in over coming days, Archer. The more you try to get it together, the more events seem to disrupt your efforts. If you find that frustration levels are beginning to boil over, then let it all go. Out of chaos, something new could emerge.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

The chemistry you feel around someone could prove irresistible, but that doesn’t mean you should give in and run with those feelings. If anything Capricorn, it might be wiser to head in the other direction, as a disruptive aspect may cause emotional fallout. Your instincts seem to be spot on though, and if you sense this won’t be good for you, then steer clear at all costs.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

An event could upset your domestic and work routines, and might mean you need to scramble to get everything back on track. It may also set you thinking about your goals, career choice or the responsibilities that you’ve taken on, and how far they represent your authentic needs. This can be a turning point Aquarius, and find you looking for ways to fulfil more authentic desires.

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

You may not be in the mood to bite your tongue and spare someone your feelings, especially if a conflict has been building between you. It could come to a head, and as stubborn as you might feel about an issue, rest assured they feel just the same. If you want this relationship to continue, you’ll need to find a solution to this impasse. If you aren’t too bothered, then go on your way.
