Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday December 17, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Is that your softer side we see peeking through? Don’t fight the feeling, Aries. Today’s Cancer moon hovers in your nurturing fourth house, inspiring you to bring a personal touch to all your interactions. Drop the strictly-business stance, and show others you do care. Make this evening all about your nearest and dearest. If you’re not cozying with la familia, reconnect with an old friend. Consider hosting an intimate dinner where you’re 100 percent certain that the walls don’t have ears.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Do you hear what I hear? Today’s Cancer moon lights up your communication house, bringing a vivid reminder that conversations are two-way streets. No one’s saying you should water down your opinions, Taurus. (As if!) Just leave room for other people’s perspectives. Don’t just give lip service either. Make sure to listen and validate their viewpoints. By keeping the field safe and open, you could set the scene for a promising collaboration before the day is through. Dialogue your way into a dynamic duo!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Pull up your budgetary bootstraps, Gemini. As today’s Cancer moon illuminates your second house of money, it would behoove you to tighten those purse strings. This may require you to steel your will against any retail-therapy urges. Under this lunar light, even one splurge can get you into financial hot water. If you’re worried that temptation might get the best of you, save your holiday shopping until tomorrow.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Leave it to Cancer to ensure everyone’s needs are met, but what about numero uno? Today’s moon hovers in your sign all day long, turning your attention to your own desires. Just don’t expect your loved ones to read your mind. Instead of letting bitterness creep in because they aren’t reciprocating, take a direct approach and ask for what you need. Also, make time in your schedule for solo pursuits. Revive a passion project, or make a showy move that will accelerate your ascent up the ladder. You don’t need to be cutthroat, Cancer, but being competitive will work to your advantage.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
You know what they say, Leo. Hanging on to that grudge is like swigging poison in the hopes the other person will die. Stop draining your energy, and commit to releasing resentment. It starts with honoring your emotions. Reflect on what makes you angry or sad. Break out your trusty journal or have a one-on-one with a sensitive friend. You could even address the offending party in a handwritten note. When you feel ready to let that situation go for good, do so symbolically by burning your words. You’ll feel lighter, ready to pursue a more positive path.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
If your contact database is lacking few friends in high places, let the networking begin. It’s easy enough to swap contact info, but making genuine connections is a whole other ballgame. Choose groups and events thoughtfully, focusing on those in which you share specific interests. If you’re a Virgo in demand, be careful that you don’t drain yourself dry meeting everyone one-on-one. Reduce your stress levels with some social experimentation, and rally all your pals together for a fun evening out at a place that might bring bonus opportunities to network.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
As your affable sign already knows, you can be a pro and still be personal. With today’s sensitive Cancer moon illuminating your tenth house of success, you’ve got a perfect opportunity to invest in your professional relationships. Surprise your colleagues with a box of cupcakes this morning, or show more of your off-hours persona during a power lunch—just within reason, Libra! Be it your love of wine or white-water rafting, talk about your passions. Finding common ground outside the office will strengthen those bonds.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Don’t keep those innovative ideas to yourself today, Scorpio! Even if you’re not sure how the straight-laced types might react, your originality gives you an extra edge today. Since the sensitive Cancer moon IS hovering in your candid ninth house, be thoughtful about where and when you deliver your message. Don’t try to pitch your grand plan to the boss in between back-to-back conference calls or in the midst of a tumultuous team meeting. Bide your time and wait for the right moment. You’ll get a much better reception when people aren’t under pressure.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 17
Green-eyed monster alert! Today’s Cancer moon lingers in your envious eighth house, churning up jealous feelings. Don’t let the beast eat you alive, Sagittarius. Instead of focusing on what others have, take these intense emotions and channel them into creating your own version of success. Your creative juices are flowing full-force. Put ‘em to good use, and you’ll be able to produce something fresh and cutting-edge.
