Horoscopes: Monday, December 23, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Where can you get fresh air, fantastic ideas, blood flow, soul healing and a metabolism boost without buying a single thing? Walking outdoors. It’s where the best things will happen today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ultimately, you get to choose how you spend your time. It’s easy to lose sight of this when you’re with dominant people who would like you to join their agenda. It’s fun when it’s your choice and you feel in control.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve all but forgotten about that little chunk of good karma you generated years ago, though it hasn’t forgotten about you. It will circle back right when it will be most profound to receive it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be prolific, producing much more than you thought you would, so apply yourself where you are most needed or where you are certain to enjoy yourself as you work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want something you haven’t articulated yet. Maybe you’ve been afraid to say it out loud. Regardless, it’s go time. State the deal. Things will only start happening after you eliminate the ambiguity in a relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t like to be teased unless the teasing is so playful or interesting that it’s somehow its own reward. Movie trailers sometimes fit the bill. One thing that doesn’t is when people say, “I’ll tell you later.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be good at figuring people out and settling into a place that’s going to work well with the entire group. It will probably mean chipping in even when you don’t feel ready or holding back when you feel overqualified.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can’t go any faster or do any more than your best. Expecting yourself to is unloving. There is no need to punish yourself nor is there a gain from doing so that makes any sense.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You require things of your relationships, things that are not spoken about, but are nonetheless clearly conveyed to the observant counterpart. The nonobservant counterpart will be utterly lost.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you gain by losing and lose by gaining, then you’ll be on par with most people today. But if you can celebrate this with genuine enthusiasm and gratitude for the funny way life works out, then you’ll be in a league of your own.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those willing to compromise to make an arrangement work are more invested in the success of the arrangement than they are in their personal satisfaction or ego gratification.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What one person considers very awkward is a comfortable family tradition to someone else. You’ll be reading the signals, dialed into the microexpressions that tell the inside story.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 23). Love is a form of faith. To love someone is to trust your heart to someone else’s care. You will learn someone very well, and choose carefully how to invest your feelings. But ultimately, love is still a risk. It is because you are willing to take the risk that you experience so much beauty and fulfillment. Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 30, 6, 22 and 14.
