Your daily horoscopes for Monday December 16, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Your creativity is clamoring for attention, Ram, which could come in handy for those last-minute holiday arrangements. Let the muse be your guide, whether you’re baking, painting or putting together one of your epic playlists. The moon in your house of family bonding could provide the perfect excuse to invite a favorite relative over for a cozy night in. Wrap presents while watching movies and revel in the opportunity to be in each other’s company.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Choose your company wisely today. While you’re in the mood for fun, you also have some long-term goals on your mind. Why not mix business and pleasure a little bit? Head to a place where you can connect to influential people in a pressure-free environment, or hop online and retweet some peers in your field. Write a LinkedIn testimonial for someone who’s helped you this year or spread the love by connecting two great contacts.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
The week could kick off with a career triumph, so focus on making your mark. Wrap it up tight by completing a promised goal or by producing a result that makes you proud and impresses the people who sign your checks. You’ll also be able to enjoy the holidays that much more knowing you’ve got a solid accomplishment under your belt. Even if that means skipping some of tonight’s festivities or working a little late, you’ll feel so much better just being done!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
You’re bursting with enthusiasm and impatience, but don’t race out of the starting gate before you really think this through. You’ll waste a lot of energy if you just go charging off mindlessly in one direction. Today, as the moon in Cancer connects to master planner Saturn, spend some time really considering where you’d like to be in, say, six months to a year. How about five years? Once you define the bigger-picture goals, you can spring into action, but do visualize that master plan first.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Everyone else may be going out to mingle and jingle, but you, Leo, could stand to rest and recuperate. Stay in, do some journaling, take a bubble bath and decompress—or at the very least, give yourself a couple disco nap hours before you rush out the door. Need a shoulder to cry on or an ear to vent your frustrations to? Turn to a helpful mentor or a wise friend who’s “been there” for insight into what’s really going on.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Some days, you need to be “the strong one,” Virgo, and it’s looking like this may be one of them. Hold space for a friend to get intense emotions out of their system—perhaps while helping them pack boxes for a move or waiting for a ride to an appointment they’re anxious about. If a team’s motivation is flagging, remind everyone of the bigger picture and get the crew recommitted. It’s a great day for signing on to a powerful partnership if you know your heart is in it.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Sure, it’s only Monday, but your focus is (already) on finishing the week strong. Good news! Your hard work and dedication could pay off with one final push, bringing you an increased sense of stability. Ah, just the way you like it! Does something in your life feel wobbly? Get into a proactive, solution-oriented mode and fix it. You know what to do: Streamline your processes and put a structure in place that will prevent this from going off the rails in the future.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Hold your emotions and reactions in check today, even if you’re dealing with something potentially upsetting. Freaking out won’t help a thing. What you need to do is breathe and take a look at the big picture. By not instantly responding to every trigger, you’ll remain focused on the larger story—which is where the rubber meets the road. If the gossip girls hit you up for information, resist the urge to spill any state secrets. That will only implicate you in their mess, which is the LAST thing you need!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Friendly little fix-up? No, we’re not talking about a blind date, Sagittarius. With the moon in your private eighth house greeting Saturn in your domestic fourth, a day of BTS developing or home improvements might be the balm your soul is craving. That’s not to say you can’t invite a plus-one to co-work with you or join you for painting and pizza. Be they a BFF or someone with bae potential, bonding in close quarters is the best entertainment for you right now.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
It’s one thing to take the high road, Cap, but has your kindness left you in the nosebleed section while everyone else is enjoying courtside seats? Enough accommodating at your own expense! Distance yourself from user-friendly types who are only interested in leveraging your hard-won success. On the other hand, if you’ve been undervaluing yourself, it’s time to boldly ask for your seat at the table. Make that the HEAD of the table, just for good measure!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Stick to a budget today, Water Bearer, even if you find “THE perfect thing” for a loved one in the luxury department. Maybe there’s a workaround here. Could you get a couple others to go in on this as a group gift, for instance? Or maybe you skip the meaningless stocking stuffers to open up funds. Value goes way beyond material objects, something you may need to remind yourself of today. Take time to hunt down something that speaks to a shared memory, or if you’re the crafty type, how about making something by hand?
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday December 16
Craving some pre-holiday celebration? Today, you’re feeling festive but also a little bit reserved, and you’d rather be around a more mature crowd. You might even RSVP yes to an event where you can network for business. Sure, there are presents to wrap and ornaments to hang, but ease up on your goal-getter vibes. Knowing that you can let your hair down (and maybe enjoy a mistletoe moment) after work will make being productive a lot more fun during the early part of the day!
