Your lookahead horoscope: December 21, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Other people can stick to a rigid plan if they like but you need to be flexible, especially if you have a multitude of ambitions. You don’t need to be the same person every day – in fact you can change your identity as often as you like.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You have held back long enough from expressing yourself – now it is your turn to show the world what you are capable of. The sun’s move into the career area of your chart marks the start of a phase that is all about winning.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

One of the very best times of the year is now beginning and the sun’s move through the most adventurous area of your chart over the next few weeks will make it easy to confound those who say you are not daring enough.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If you want to spend some time alone as the new week begins then do so. You don’t need anyone’s permission to go off by yourself for a while, so leave behind all the noise and confusion and find a quiet place to get your head together.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The sun in your opposite sign over the next few weeks means you will have to pay a lot more attention to the needs of partners, loved ones and work colleagues. Rest assured that what is good for them will be good for you as well.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

A creative project of some kind has reached the point where it becomes more of a chore than a delight. You must keep at it though because if you give up now you may never forgive yourself. Success is closer than you think.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

The challenges of the past month or so were no doubt tough but they also strengthened you mentally and emotionally and now you are ready to push ahead and accomplish something amazing. Keep your eyes and ears open for new opportunities.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The message of the stars for the next few weeks is that you will accomplish more if you put other people’s needs ahead of your own. It might not hurt to be a bit more affectionate as well. When did you last say “I love you”?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You should find it easier to come and go as you please over the next few days. Not only that but you will find your voice again and let those around you know where they have been going wrong and what they must do to put it right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Although the sun is moving out of your birth sign you don’t need to change your ways or focus on a new goal. In fact, if you keep moving at your current pace and in your chosen direction you’ll have a great deal of fun along the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A new solar year is beginning and your number one aim must be to make it one of the best years ever. Forget about the failures of the past and focus only on future successes. You have the power to make them happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The cosmic cycle is moving on and you need to spend more time thinking about both your wider purpose and your inner motivation. What is your highest ideal? How can you bring your best side to the fore? Think about it, then do it.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Friendships will be under excellent stars over the coming week, so get out into the world where you can see and be seen. Both in your private life and in your social circle there are so many things you can do to make life more fun.
