Horoscopes: Monday, Dec. 26, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). While your family role gives you a strong identity, it doesn’t encompass you entirely. Today’s experience allows you to see more of who you are outside of your role, which will alter your self-perception in interesting ways.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). With important things like lunches and parachutes, you’re better off packing your own. The more self-reliant you are, the better you’ll be able to influence outcomes in the direction of your choosing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do all you possibly can to get everyone to stick to the plan. And when this is not possible, accept what unfolds with grace. Live in the moment. Try not to stress over timing that is out of your control.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Before you put yourself into an endeavor, ask a lot of questions about what will be required of you, the investment of money, effort and the time frame, too. These questions prevent disappointment or resentment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even when you set aside hours for a project and try your best to protect the time slot, sometimes life gets in the way. This is not a test of your resolve, rather it’s a priority check and an opportunity to tend to what’s important.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may not be able to make an opportunity happen any sooner, but you can certainly do everything in your power to be ready for it when it arrives. Consider what habits will get you in prime shape for your moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll enjoy a sense of continuity as things pick up where they left off. Relationships and endeavors show progress. Nothing feels forced or rushed. All is moving along at an easy pace.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes the best way to give your energy to the world is to focus it inward. Don’t forget, you are part of the world. Giving to yourself will bring as much peace to the bigger picture as anything else you could do today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Options and opportunities abound for you now. Even though you are serious about the success of your venture, you’ll use humor to ease the way. Your charm will be irresistible to some.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You match your offerings to what is needed and wanted of you, which creates a powerful alignment. Is this an enjoyable enough task to continue repeatedly? Sustainability of effort will be the magic ingredient.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ve paid too much for the resources you needed because you weren’t in a strong position of choice. Now your situation has changed, and you’ll be wise to work out a new deal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your imagination is so powerful that it will not only take you from here to there, but it will also take you beyond the destinations you once thought about and into the change that is possible because you dare to dream bigger.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 26) The seasons ahead are full of mysteries and marvels. You’ll connect with the interesting new people, satisfy your curiosities, complete ambitious missions. Your core circle will expand, both in numbers and in the amount of love and trust flowing through your world. More highlights: a delightful correspondence, a lucrative new venture and seven unforgettable weekends. Aries and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 19, 3, 33 and 13.
