Horoscopes: Thursday, December 26, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The science indicates that people who describe themselves as lucky tend to notice lucky opportunities more than those who self-describe as unlucky. Your exciting luck will happen regardless of how you see yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keep in mind that an idea doesn’t have to be great to inspire people. If it sparks enthusiasm, they are moved to act on it and it catches on, then it was good enough. You don’t know what’s going to fly until you put it out there.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Handle the tiny things because they matter a lot. When you think about it, a series of tiny gains and tiny losses has led you to this place. It’s not the size of the habit that matters so much as its trajectory.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If wisdom were a business, it would be a 24-hour casino where the doors never shut. Wisdom depends on letting life inside. Sure, this means that sometimes life will get the advantage, but usually the house wins.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Have patience and faith in the reciprocity of existence. Things balance out. This is far from a passive approach. Your will counts as a weighty part of the balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Surrender is the ultimate act of inaction. If done fully, the next feeling is that of relief, levity, clarity and peace. What do you need to surrender before the year is over?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The main event is occurring both on conscious and unconscious levels. It’s a purge of your being that drives you to discard the meaningless as you opt for the choices that reflect your values.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The spirit of love generated at various times of the week lingers and your mood is cozy with the knowledge that when the heart is fulfilled, there’s not much else that matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve a chance to look at your behavior as a film director might, as though the action were happening on a storyboard. Choices will be made about how to compose the next few scenes. Be the artist you are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to do the precise thing that will make someone smile. In fact, you make a quest of it. That you care this much already gives the mission a high chance of success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The process of becoming is often undetectable in real time, and glaringly obvious in hindsight. All you have control over are the behaviors you employ to get there. Keep racking up units of effort and trust that it’s working.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You really shouldn’t have to think about yourself very much. When the situation is involving and interesting enough, you don’t worry at all about how you’re doing. If it’s not the case, keep looking for a better scene of which to be a part.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 26). You haven’t always been able or allowed to express yourself, so the chances you get this year are, in a sense, childhood dreams come true. You’ll add skills to your arsenal and friends to your fold, often simultaneously. Financial matters are put in proper perspective and you’ll invest in meaningful pursuits. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 6, 40, 37 and 4.
