Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday December 6
Do you have billionaire baller dreams on a starter-kit budget? Even if you ARE flush with cash, you need to be smarter about how you spend it. Your ruler, passionate Mars, turns retrograde in Leo and your hedonistic fifth house, nudging you to dial back the decadence. Between now and February 23, go easy on the pricey cocktails, lazy Lyft rides and shopping beyond your means. You don’t need to live like an ascetic, Aries. Just think long and hard before you green-light tempting purchases. And the same thing goes for potential lovers. With back-spinning Mars scrambling signals in your romance zone, pace yourself before you take the plunge.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday December 6
Get your house in order! Chaotic Mars turns retrograde in your domestic zone for two months, turning your focus to Chateau Toro. While this isn’t the best time for doing any major renovations, it is a powerful period for deep cleaning your space, then setting it up for maximum privacy and productivity. How about a meditation corner and a great new desk? Reconnect with relatives you love but avoid the triggering ones. Mars’ backspin can make the tension especially volcanic now. A woman in your life could become “extra” between now and February 23. Don’t force togetherness when you actually need space. Instead, utilize the opportunity to foster friendships elsewhere.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday December 6
Approaching social overload! As fire-spinner Mars turns retrograde in Leo and your third house of friends, you’ll want to reserve quality time for your core squad. Engaging newcomers will leave you spread too thin—and your true friends could get the short end of the stick. If you simply can’t stop yourself, make sure you seriously screen people before entrusting them with confidential info. That friendly acquaintance could turn out to be a full-on Gossip Girl—or not. Keep your guard up until the retrograde ends on February 23 and let people earn their loyalty points.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday December 6
Does your cup runneth over, Cancer? Today, as energizer Mars turns retrograde in Leo and your second house of work and finances, you may need to scale back a few professional obligations. Stop saying yes to more (and more) work—or you might have to say no to a much-needed holiday vacation. Be wise, and only commit to the most essential projects for the rest of the year. Set realistic timelines and manage the expectations of those around you. On January 6, the red planet will be retrograde in Cancer until February 23, which can ratchet up your temper. Plan ahead by pulling back from stressful situations NOW and making sure you have plenty of personal space at home.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday December 6
Slow your roll! Today, motivator Mars, who’s been supercharging your sign since November 3, turns retrograde in Leo until January 6 and then backtracks through Cancer until February 23. Dig deep for patience. During this time, you may have to put a few of your most precious personal projects on the back burner so you can focus on more urgent priorities. Frustrating, yes, but there are silver linings: You might actually benefit from stepping away and gaining some perspective. Focus on restoring balance to your life. A little break could recharge your batteries and lead to unexpected inspiration before 2025 rolls in.
