Horoscopes: Thursday, Dec. 5, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Love isn’t always sweet smiles and cozy moments. Experimenting with different sides of yourself could enrich the relationship. Today, stay open to expressing yourself in new ways and being someone you haven’t met yet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Talk about who you want to be as if you’re already that person. You’ll cross paths with people who can open doors, inspired by your confidence and vision, ready to help you bring your dreams to life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may not have intended to end up here in the relationship, but this is where it’s landed. Accept it as your new starting point, and with an open mind, you’ll find fresh ways to move forward together.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve found work you enjoy even more than conventional “fun” activities, and that’s a gift. Today, embrace what brings you that unique satisfaction; it’s a rare pleasure to find joy where others might not even look.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even if you tried, you couldn’t trace exactly how you arrived here, nor would you be able to duplicate your successes were you given the chance. Trust life’s mysterious, winding road, and go forward knowing you’ll always be in the right place.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When things work out the way you want, it feels like destiny is sending you to the heart of your dreams. When they don’t, it might feel bad at first, but it’s still destiny, sending you to the heart of your dreams, but on a different route.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Balance usually comes naturally to you, though every now and then, you trip up. This is actually a gift; it helps you appreciate your innate talent for keeping things steady, even when life feels momentarily out of sync.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because you are curious, social and multifaceted, you have relationships with people from different walks of life, with whom you have little in common but for a shared interest or two and the possibility of exchanging joy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a way of getting the best performance out of people. Sometimes it’s your uplifting words or compliments, but today it’s your keen eye, spotting greatness and calling it into the light.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). With so much experience with a subject, it would be easy to overlook something basic. Step back and look at things as though you’d never seen them before. Starting from the very beginning elevates your work to a new level.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sensitive people will feel how happy you are and will catch your mood to some degree. Because of this, you feel a responsibility to be happier and to generate warmth and excitement for the others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have luck for shopping, negotiating and finding just what you’ve been searching for. Today, your instincts are spot on, guiding you to deals and discoveries that fit your need and delight your people.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 5). Being happy actually changes your chemical makeup in this year of joy, health and progress. You cherish other people’s time and attention and they will heap it on you in meaningful and abundant ways. More highlights: A surprise award, attendance at events that once seemed of reach, the expansion of a business. You’ll be an excellent employer. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 28 and 11.
