Horoscopes: Tuesday, Dec. 26, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re in a dance between two powerful forces. You do not have to succumb to either but will veer closer to one, and then later to the other, creating your own path of interesting swirls and zigzags.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Delays around finance and logistics will figure in, but it’s nothing major. Think of this as a soft test of character — an opportunity for patience, humor and ultimately moments of connection that could not happen in any other timing.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s easier for you to have fun once your responsibilities are covered. Get help with it. Also, don’t write off the distractions as superfluous. Later, you may consider these diversions to be the main road.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Blame, especially self-blame, is not useful. It steals focus from doing what it takes to fix a situation. While it might be helpful to remember what worked and didn’t before, do this with your feet moving ever-forward.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You always take the time to be with those you care about when you know they are in need. It’s even more special when you give your attention to loved ones, knowing they don’t need a thing.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a storm rolling in, figuratively speaking. You are safe and sound inside and so there’s nothing to fear, only something to experience in awe — the theatrics of sky drama, electric clouds and the thunderous scene unfolding.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Of course, different kinds of sharing are appropriate for different situations, and sometimes the boundaries are blurred around the edges. It’s better to err on the side of restraint and radiate warmth from a distance.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The theme is: an unlikely pairing. You’ll see it on plates, in couples, business arrangements and in other forms throughout the day. You never can quite tell how things will fit together until you really do bring them together.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s exciting to take things in a new direction. Even if this route doesn’t prove fruitful, there’s something good about the change, which will invigorate a relationship and give you a different and very helpful perspective.     

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though you really do know what’s good for a loved one, sometimes they just have to figure things out for themselves. You’ll exert your influence with the perfect balance of respect. A little attention goes a long way.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You respect the efforts of those around you, regardless of what kind of result they bring because, after all, there’s only so much people can actually control. Your grace contributes to the best possible outcomes. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Instead of fretting over every small decision, you’ll pause to set your mind on a particular course, and this large decision about which journey you are on will handle every small choice along the way.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 26). Just trying to help someone out, you’ll make a magic-laced agreement and your path is forever altered in a wonderful way. You’ll repeat a health-focused action that becomes a habit, and then a lifestyle that gives you the result you’ve long wished for. More highlights: Research and education lead to more money. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 21 and 8.
