Your daily horoscopes for Thursday December 26, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
“Truth” may be elusive as analytical Mercury in your big-picture sector opposes larger-than-life Jupiter in your communication center. Just when you’ve nearly reached consensus, signals could get scrambled, or you might be thinking expansively when it would be better to home in on the details. Yet it’s well-nigh impossible to figure out what’s going wrong! So rather than fixate on getting to the bottom of something (today), accept that you may have to fumble in the dark a little longer.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
You’d love to believe that a proposal someone is floating is 100 percent legit, yet your gut is telling you to do more due diligence. It can never hurt to thoroughly check things out—especially when money is involved—so don’t let anyone pressure you into anything until you’re ready. And that could happen under today’s squirrely sync-up of fast-talking Mercury and enthusiastic Jupiter across your financial axis. If this IS a great prospect, it should still be in play next week.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Bite thy tongue, Twin! You’re at risk for oversharing today as blunt Jupiter in your outspoken sign opposes chatty Mercury in your partnership realm. If you’ve been with someone for a long (enough) time, it might be fair game to talk about very personal and even controversial subjects. But if this is a new love interest—or a business associate—resist the temptation to spill the tea. While it’s important not to hold in important feelings or info, you need to carefully navigate that fine line!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Stand your ground, Cancer! If someone is pressuring you to get involved in their project or do things their way—which you don’t agree with—you don’t have to go along to get along. Today, as persuasive Mercury clashes with philosophical Jupiter, you might feel like it’s “politically advantageous” to follow this person’s lead. But stop and think through the potential consequences. How much experience do they have in this field? Is the data behind it compelling? If not, either take a pass or buy more time.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
You don’t HAVE to open up the guest list to everyone you know, oh magnanimous one! While your big heart and sense of inclusiveness are admirable, sometimes you don’t realize when your friendliness isn’t ideal for making business decisions. Today, as expansive Jupiter in your group-activity sector faces off with social Mercury in your fun-loving fifth house, weigh the pros and cons BEFORE you solicit someone’s opinion. If they have a self-directed agenda, their input won’t be useful for the rest of the squad.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Generally, you’re happy to check in with the hivemind, especially when it feels right mentally and emotionally. But today, as analytical Mercury clashes with expansive Jupiter in your career corner, following the crowd might not be in your professional best interests. People may be paying attention to how you handle yourself within work groups, and if you take the path of least resistance instead of promoting YOUR ideas, you might not be seen as having leadership potential. Do some soul-searching, and then follow your heart.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Thanks to a feisty face-off between verbal Mercury in your communication corner and larger-than-life Jupiter in your unfiltered ninth house, be prepared for some lively debates today. You’re not likely to stay quiet if someone unleashes a torrent of strong opinions, especially if you think they’re mean-spirited or indefensible. But under this contrarian starmap, you want to be careful not to pour gasoline on this person’s dumpster fire. See if there’s a way to neutralize them without giving them even more attention.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
You’re eager to hit the accelerator when the better pedal to pump would be the brake. Quicksilver Mercury is chomping at the bit in your second house of finances and sensuality, making you hungry for anything that feels luxe or romantic—and you’re willing to shell out the necessary bucks. But with the messenger planet facing off against unbridled Jupiter in your intense eighth house, you might not be able to muster the necessary self-control. Ask a friend to help you set some limits—and then stick to them!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
“Me” time might feel mutually exclusive with “we” time today as zippy Mercury in your sign faces off with your ruler, liberating Jupiter, in your interpersonal zone. As much as you love ‘em, someone in your inner circle might be acting out of a deep well of neediness today, and you don’t have time or patience for their litany of woes. Not responding will only intensify the pressure, so find a diplomatic way to tell them you have full confidence in THEIR ability to sort this out themselves!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Thanks to an alignment of mental Mercury in your subconscious zone and positive-thinking Jupiter in your wellness center, you can get a handle on any of the excuses that have been blocking your “let’s get healthy!” initiatives. But understanding the underpinnings is only half the battle. Once you recognize your patterns, you’ve got to find the motivation and self-discipline to stop doing the bad habit and strengthen the healthy new one. Enlisting an accountability buddy could help.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Good luck avoiding drama today as inquisitive Mercury in your community corner locks horns with over-the-top Jupiter in your theatrical fifth house. Other people’s personal stories might be so compelling that you risk losing time on YOUR work listening to them. And your own romantic life might be so intense that it’s hard to focus. But there’s plenty of time for all that and more this evening. During work hours, it behooves you to stay focused!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 26
Fraternizing with your colleagues is generally a good thing, especially for you, Pisces, who can drift too far afield around work projects. Getting to know the people you work with can forge deeper bonds and more authentic esprit de corps. But under today’s lip-loosening opposition of garrulous Mercury and unfiltered Jupiter, be careful not to go to the opposite extreme and overshare. There’s a fine line between being a team player and a chatterbox, and you don’t want to risk veering into the latter today!
