Your daily horoscope: December 6, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Be open and honest with friends, loved ones and work colleagues about what you are planning to do over the coming year. And use your powers of persuasion to make them aware how much they too can profit from your great ideas.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

As someone who takes your responsibilities seriously you won’t be amused when a work colleague takes a careless approach to their duties. Let them know that if they want to keep you as a friend they need to switch on and smarten up.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

An offer that arrives out of the blue must be taken seriously this weekend. It may be the sort of thing that doesn’t interest you much but the more you think about it the more you will recognize that it has some serious potential.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You are entitled to your opinions like everyone else but if you want them to be respected you must make sure you can back them up with solid facts. It’s not enough to be passionate about what you believe, it’s got to be true as well.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You may be tempted to let a friend or loved one know why their efforts have been falling short but the planets warn if you do they will be less than receptive. This is one of those situations where they have to learn for themselves.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you change something for the sake of it this weekend you will have to change it back again later on, so resist the urge to tinker. It may be a bit boring for someone as adventurous as you but safety is the main issue now.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Mercury, your ruler, links with Jupiter this weekend, so you will be in one of those moods where you want to chat with everyone. That’s great, but don’t tell people you hardly know anything too personal – they might use it against you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Stop worrying about what is going on in the big bad world and channel your time and energy into events closer to home. Are there people you love who would appreciate seeing more of you? Then make them your focus this weekend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Mercury in your sign is on good form this weekend, so your thinking will be clear and your words will be positive and to the point. But if anyone resists your attempts to engage them in conversation you must respect their right to privacy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Your ideas will impress some very important people over the next 24 hours, the kind of people it is always good to have in your corner. Your insights into how to streamline tiresome and time-consuming tasks will make you a star.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Don’t change your plans just to please other people this weekend. If anything they should be changing their plans to please you. That’s unlikely to happen, of course, but what will happen is you won’t be wasting your time on petty activities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You may be inclined to stand back from a work-related dispute and hope that it resolves itself over time but the planets warn that isn’t going to happen. Like it or not you need to get directly involved. Bring some common sense to the situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The fact that you disagree with someone about the best way to proceed is of minor importance – what matters is that you can sit down together and find a compromise solution. It doesn’t have to be all one thing or the other.
