Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday December 5, 2023

Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Sometimes your action-first sign benefits from slowing down and embracing the woo. Alluring Venus in your eighth house of mysteries and metaphysics is fist-bumping karmic Saturn, which could make every experience feel meaningful. Throughout the day, you may experience an irresistible pull to explore synchronicities, dream interpretation or get an intuitive reading. This is your unconscious mind opening up, and you could find answers to some of your greatest questions by tapping into the powers of your creative right brain.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

If you’ve felt like you’re looking for love or connection in all the wrong places, don’t widen but narrow your viewfinder! The perfect partner could be right in front of your nose, Taurus, but you can’t see them because you’re searching too far afield! Today, as charming Venus in your house of dynamic duos aligns with reliable Saturn in your collaborative corner, try another approach to your quest, like buddying up with someone you already know. Today the grass could be greener in your own front yard.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Ignore the standard advice to go big, Gemini, and today, whittle down your game plan. As the zodiac’s dilettante, you draw inspiration from far and wide. But with reality-checker Saturn in formation with romantic Venus—and in your houses of hard work and professional success, no less—you’ll appreciate the value of laying a solid foundation before you build your dream house. Even if you have to take one or two steps back, your new and improved plan will be worth the tiny bit of extra time spent.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Wait a beat, Cancer: Speeding ahead without checking the details could undermine a relationship that’s building momentum. When romantic Venus in your house of passion aligns with cautious Saturn, you might be forced to ride the brakes. Note: This is only a flashing yellow, not a red light, so it’s safe to proceed with caution. But if your imagination has gotten ahead of reality or you’re not taking appropriate safety precautions, hit pause. And take comfort in knowing if this is meant to be, it’s sure to stand the test of time.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Have you been taking someone’s love or unwavering support for granted, Leo? Today’s stars urge you to hit pause and make a show of your feelings for somebody in your inner circle. Warm-hearted Venus is in your domestic corner and making a harmonious connection to reliable Saturn in your intimate eighth house. Allow yourself to really feel your bond with this person—or people—and communicate it to them. That simple act could both deepen and strengthen the relationship.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

You could jump off the “love ‘em, love ’em not” merry-go-round today, Virgo, as romantic Venus in your expressive zone forms a supportive trine with playing-for-keeps Saturn in your partnership province. That’s all well and good, but it takes two to tango. Use your communication skills to find the perfect words (and trust your gut on perfect timing) to initiate a conversation about the nature of the relationship. Already attached? Under this solidifying trine, you may want to nudge things to the next level.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

It’s a great day to clarify your needs and desires as they relate to your intimate relationships. Your ruling star, fair-minded Venus, is spinning through your second house of security and values—and today she forms a supportive trine with wise old Saturn. This could bring on a series of eureka-style revelations. Let them come without getting defensive or assuming you now have all the answers. You’re getting clear messages, but let the dust settle before you take any action, especially if you’re tempted to “clean house.”

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Do your very best to keep a cool exterior—even if you’re jumping out of your skin with desire. With vixen Venus in your sign forming a deliciously solid angle with rock-steady Saturn in your romance zone, you can retain SOME semblance of control. (And that’s hot!) Single Scorpios should mix and mingle tonight as the “hunt” will be better than usual. Attached? Plan a special surprise evening, then drop your beloved little hints throughout the day to build excitement—and stoke desire!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Micromanaging a project won’t necessarily steer it toward success, Sagittarius. In fact, today’s stars are conspiring to show you how good it can feel to give up (the illusion of) control, at least for a short test-drive. Venus in your mystical zone, aligned with reliable Saturn, may move you out of the driver’s seat. Trying to keep it all together all by yourself is not just exhausting, it’s unnecessary. Rather than overplan every detail, tap a friend to take the lead, trusting that whatever happens will be perfect.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

If the eeny-meeny approach to decision-making hasn’t been working so well for you, it might be time to open up the opinion polls. If there’s one tiny “downside” to being a Capricorn it’s that you’re so good at seeing what might go wrong in the future that making choices can twist you up in knots. Today, as your ruler, grounded Saturn, in your communication corner aligns with fair-minded Venusin your house of teamwork, turn to your inner circle for support and ask one or two of your wisest and most practical friends for THEIR opinions.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Other people are your secret weapon today, Aquarius, but you have to come out from undercover to activate the dynamic-duo power. Lucky Venus in your success sector is aligned with goal-oriented Saturn in your second house of security and money. Together they can shine a light on a potentially profitable alliance. First, though, you have to ditch the cynicism and trust that there are people out there who know more than you about certain things—and that when you team up with the right person, the whole can be way more than the sum of its parts!

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 5

Check in with your dreams for the future today, Pisces. An actualizing trine between grounded Saturn in your sign and lucky Venus in your expansive ninth house can help things materialize almost magically. The best part is that your free-flowing sign won’t have to trade any of your freedom for a greater sense of security. In fact, by living and speaking your truth, you signal the universe that you’re committed to your vision and won’t stop till you reach it.
