Moon alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or decisions today. The moon is in Capricorn on this winter solstice — the longest night of the year.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a productive day for you. You’re high-visibility, and you make an excellent impression on others who see you as successful, ambitious and capable. Meanwhile, travel or plans to travel will appeal to you because you want to go places!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today, and for the next several weeks, your desire to travel and explore your world is strong. Travel is one choice, but you also can gain new knowledge through books, film, courses, schools and talking to people from different backgrounds. Expand your world!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your focus on shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances, insurance matters and anything you own jointly with others is strong today and in the coming weeks. If you’re in conflict with someone, Venus opposite your sign makes you diplomatic.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Starting today and for the next several weeks, you’ll need more sleep because the sun will be opposite your sign. The sun represents energy, and this opposition means the sun (in your chart) is now as far away from you as it can get all year. Respect your need for more rest.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
This is a productive day! It’s the beginning of a four-week window that will boost your energy and make you work hard. You will set the bar high, giving yourself demanding standards. Don’t expect this from others.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Lucky you! Although this is a productive day, it’s also a playful one. Explore the arts, sports events, the entertainment world and fun activities with kids. Get out and enjoy yourself. Enjoy fun diversions in the weeks ahead.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today your focus is on home, family and your private life because visiting guests, residential moves or changes taking place at home demand your attention. Get used to this because this focus will last for the next four weeks.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Fasten your seat belt because today you’re entering a busy four-week window. The pace of your days will accelerate with a busy schedule full of short trips, visits, errands and increased activity with siblings and relatives. Go, go, go!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a great day to chat with anyone because Mercury is in your sign, making you eager to share your ideas. Furthermore, Venus is also in your sign, urging you to socialize. (Incidentally, this is a good time to buy wardrobe items for yourself.) Money and finances are on your mind now and for the next few weeks.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today the sun enters your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This happens only once a year, and when it does, it gives you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You will also attract favorable situations and people to you. Get ready!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
As your birthday nears, your personal year is coming to an end. Today and in the next few weeks, you will want to be more low-key and private. Take time to jot down some goals for your new year ahead. Goals give you focus, a sense of purpose and make future decision-making easier.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’re keen to socialize with others today. In fact, this enjoyment of friends and groups will last for the next four weeks. It’s time to find out who your friends are. Find your tribe. “Are these my people?”
If today is your birthday
Actor Kiefer Sutherland (1966) shares your birthday. You are direct and forceful. You are also resourceful, constructive and strong-willed. This is a year of service for you, perhaps service to family. Therefore, take care of yourself because you will have to be a resource for those who turn to you for guidance, comfort, solace and encouragement.
