Horoscope: Dec. 5

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It hurts when so-called "supporters" disappoint you instead. However, this pain may also lead you to understand the difference between true love and codependency.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you're not entirely comfortable in your skin right now, don't be too quick to force things in another direction. Maybe it's not about changing yourself so much as creating a hospitable space for change to happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just when you're about to go solo, a small group beings to form around you. Your enthusiasm will attract offbeat people who are up for the kind of quirky adventures you've been known to dream up.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). This morning, be early and be ready. You'll be the quiet leader who sets the tone for the rest. Tonight is an ideal night for making a romantic connection—a low-key group setting is the ideal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Being happy will trump trying to make others happy, because a) your happy energy is contagious, and b) you can't make them happy. Let this guide your decisions.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Instead of looking to relationships to make you happy, look to them to make you conscious of what has been weighing heavily inside you at an unconscious level.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some of your relationships seem defined by stereotypical role-play. This would work if it weren't for the fact that you no longer believe in certain stereotypical roles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's a phenomenon that will happen. It will happen while reading articles, tasting food, witnessing interactions, living daily life. Something inside you simply says, "Blech." That's when you know to turn and walk.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). WHile doing things you love, you will find people to love, and by finding people to love, you start doing things you love. Sometimes the people come first, sometimes the activities. So be open to both.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You sense something is not meant for you, and yet you still may have a tough time letting go if it. That's because you haven't seen the way-better gift coming your way. You will see it soon, but you have to let go first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Finding out what the heart wants isn't always so easy, because the heart doesn't speak your native verbal language. In order to understand it, close your eyes and feel.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You must admit that jealousy, as unpleasant as it may be, has an invigorating energy to it. Jealousy can be a positive emotion, too, if you let it help you claim your unclaimed desire.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 5). Good fortune rains on you when you show up and do what you said you would do. Children and creative types will inspire you, and this changes your plan. Financially, February and August bring the funds to make a substantial investment by your next birthday. Benevolent action will attract kindred souls. Libra and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9. 30, 28, 12 and 18.
