Horoscopes: Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Change is afoot. Everyone wants to control it and no one can. The best way is to sit back and be fine with surprise. A sudden twist could be just the spice that makes a relationship suddenly more interesting.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You feel that you can have the thing you want. In some ways, you feel like you already have it, and that is drawing more of it to you. Powerful feelings create powerful outcomes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you ask how someone is, you seek an answer that helps you connect. People feel your intention, and you will get openhearted answers and opportunities to learn and grow from what’s exchanged.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s as though a dark cloud has covered the sun, considerably dimming your view of the path. The inability to see the horizon ahead is an opportunity to see it with your mind’s eye. Dream, fantasize, brainstorm — the future is wide open.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always need to be the winner. That is your advantage. You don’t fear losing the game or even losing face. The only thing you fear is not living to the fullest. That’s why even if you lose, you’ll win.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The bridge between great ideas and tangible results will be built out of communication. Be organized with your communication, prioritizing what matters and keeping the extra stuff out of the mix to reduce confusion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Habits are made from decisions to act. The decision that was hard to make yesterday will be easy to make today and even easier to make tomorrow. Focus on the joy, possibility and hopefulness all around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Today’s puzzle has already been solved by many before you, so ask for the answers and fill in the blanks. It would be silly not to build on the wisdom of those who came before you when life is full of questions that still need answers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The quest for less brings gorgeous, peaceful moments. As you sell, give or toss away what you no longer use, you have more appreciation for the efficient, compact and quiet things that make your life better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Bonds are always built in the present moment. It’s interesting to remember how things were, but it won’t count nearly as much as being aware and responsive to what’s happening with your people at the time it’s happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whether it’s because you’ve grown and honed your tastes or because you simply crave wholesomeness, you’ll find yourself willing to work hard to get something that’s very good for you and enormously appealing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll navigate the push and pull of attraction. People can be good company and yet be, nonetheless, a bad match for you for a given time in your life. It’s your prerogative to distance or make yourself available in keeping with your intuition.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 18). You’ll evolve while staying authentic to your vision, ensuring you a place of remarkable and enduring influence. You’ll share the story of your life and your many brave refusals to conform, and you will be admired for your honesty, resilience and the skills you’ve mastered. More highlights: new friends, hobbies and fun. An investment that quickly triples. Family pride. Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 9, 19, 27 and 40.
