Horoscopes: Wednesday, Dec. 6, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll gravitate to like minds and pool together like water droplets that find and join one another. You’ll bond and prevail. Together you will flow past and spill over everything in your path.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Other creatures think, but do they contemplate and ruminate? Your profound reflections are the seeds of a new connection, endeavor or adventure, waiting to bloom in the garden of possibilities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Humans have an instinct to imitate the influences around them, which is why full-grown adults who move to foreign countries sometimes pick up accents. You’ll be around worthy role models and pick up the habits of success.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While being focused can have positive results, there’s also the danger of focusing so narrowly that you limit your awareness and miss the chance to express your many dimensions. Stay open to developing interests outside your main goal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Friendships are a pay-as-you-go plan, voluntary commitments without lasting obligation. You’ll give and get value from a relationship as you keep building it together, with stable routines and with whimsical fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Happiness is a jaguar. You can chase it if you want, but it will always be faster than you. Mine the treasures of your current circumstance in whatever mood you happen to be in and the jaguar will come around when it wants to.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The usual problem-solving techniques won’t work, which is a blessing and an invitation. You’re ready to get unconventional. Learning what’s new in the world will help more than just this effort.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be there for a special friend in a time of need, but what makes you special is that you don’t wait for that time to do something nice. It’s the unexpected things you do for no apparent reason that will have impact.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You encourage people to tell you their ideas no matter how offbeat or silly they may be. It never fails; a brilliant solution always falls accidentally into the mix. The input you receive will invigorate a tired scene.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Something you learned long ago will be reiterated: Love isn’t a barter system. Trade affection for favors and you’ll lose every time. Today, you’ll give from the heart, and the giving will be its own reward … then comes the bonus.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Doubt is helpful in the early stages of a project, as it prompts you to make sure you’re going the right way before you commit. But now you’re too late in the game to waiver. Keep the faith and continue the work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As great composers know, a well-timed silence rings out loud with a quiet more beautiful than sound. You will use this principle to make sweet music wherever you go today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 6). A cosmic pendulum swing gives your year rhythm and flow. First, you enjoy comfort, then excitement. Projects thrill, then work gives you the stability you can build on. More highlights: There’s a favorable end to negotiations and legal matters. Joint ventures will provide more than monetary riches. Your driving motivation is to help others achieve their aims, and through your service you get your own needs met many times over. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 1, 3, 33 and 38.
