Horoscopes: Sunday, Dec. 19, 2021

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What once made you happy no longer does, yet the memories have you holding on. There’s no reason to rush it. Give yourself permission to follow new joys and all will evolve naturally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve a lucky knack for making intelligent, intuitive guesses. There are things you couldn’t possibly know about that you nonetheless get right on the first try.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Go soft on yourself and others. In later days, you will all benefit from tapping into deeper wells of inner strength but for now, it’s unnecessary.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You might spend a good portion of your day doing someone a favor. It’s not wasted time. You’ll enjoy figuring things out and you’ll build up goodwill you can cash in later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s disempowering to start too many projects at once because you never get to feel like you’re winning at any of them. Narrow your task list so you can see and celebrate its completion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You make it your personal responsibility to uplift everyone you meet. It’s as though you’re dusted with good cheer and a little of it rubs off on each person you touch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can stay on track unenthusiastically, but it’s so much easier to perform when the energy is high and emotive. A cheering section will bring out the best in you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will correctly assess what you can do. This sounds like it should be a given but it doesn’t happen as much as people think. Correct assessment will be a key component of your success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though it’s not your intent, you’ll influence those around you because your style shines through all you do. By just doing what comes naturally to you, you’ll shape the way they think and behave.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). While for many people it would be enough to meet expectations, you aren’t completely happy until you’ve exceeded them. Picking the right person to work with is half the battle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re an impostor, then you’re onto something. Acting “as if” will be crucial to your success. Keep pretending until it feels real. Next thing you know, it will actually be real.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are complex and multifaceted but you won’t show that to just anyone. You wish to make a certain kind of impression, so you’ll simplify things. Organize your mind around a single motto.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 19). You’ll pause, assess your relationships and determine where you most would like to make a difference. You’ll uplift or even save someone. Bolstered by a giving high, you’ll start projects, make deals and advance your own interests. Upgrades in transportation and seeing more of the world will be a theme. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 11, 4, 44 and 29.
