Your daily horoscopes for Thursday December 18, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Don’t hold back those glowing reviews, Ram. Today, unfettered Venus in Sagittarius gets into a flowing formation with healing comet Chiron in Aries and your first house of expression. People will appreciate any form of verbal affirmation you serve. Better still? There’s almost no such thing as TMI today, which means you don’t have to censor your effusive mood! Pour a tall glass of truth serum, sharing liberally (and from the heart) about how much you appreciate people…and moreover, WHY.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Lately, you’ve had your self-protective defenses up around
someone whose mood fluctuates faster than your feelings can withstand.
But under today’s trine between diplomatic Venus and healer-feeler comet
Chiron, you have an opportunity to cut through the tension. The first
step? Soften your guard. We didn’t say drop it altogether. Just be
willing to approach this person with an open mind rather than assuming
you already know they’re going to respond. If you can squeeze in time
between family events or work to discuss the friction, you could make
significant strides toward peace.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
The future of a
relationship may not be crystal clear, Gemini, but that’s no reason you
can’t enjoy the moment together. Today’s flowing angle between Venus and
healing comet Chiron helps you “be here now.” Rather than stressing
about the security you THINK you need that this person can provide,
focus on the qualities you appreciate about them today. The truth is,
Twin, only you can make yourself feel stable inside. That doesn’t mean
you should keep toxic people in your orbit, but give the “uncertain”
types a little breathing room. When you stop advancing, they may cease
with their retreating. It’s a dance!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Burnout averted!
Today’s stars call for some serious R&R. Take your free time
seriously and carve out blocks that are just for you. Whether you’re
hustling in the kitchen or at your desk, you might set an alarm every
hour on the hour for a one-minute meditation. Take a break this
afternoon to walk around the block or through the park. If people try to
pull you into a stressful conversation, duck away graciously—or if you
can’t, let them know that you’d rather wait to discuss that topic at
another time.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
It’s almost too easy to put the cart before
the horse under today’s swirling alignment of rosy-eyed Venus and
“wounded healer” comet Chiron. While you might have visions of how great
a collaboration could be, there may be some “circumstances” that are
standing in the way (or, literally, another person standing there
already). In your zeal, you could gloss over these details, but make no
mistake: Barrier to entry WILL turn into a big, painful deal eventually.
Save yourself the heartache and put your energy into people who are
legitimately available.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Set some limits today, Virgo,
and don’t budge. If you’re buckling under the burden of too many
obligations, reflect on what you truly want to invest in. First step is
to figure out what YOU require in order to be satisfied. When you’re
clear, it will be easier to ask for support without sounding resentful
or blaming. Sadly, you may realize that certain initiatives aren’t going
to work out—or that roles need to shift so you’re playing to everyone’s
strengths. Don’t be afraid to take charge of a mission if things aren’t
getting done in time for the deadline…or the dinner bell!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Nothing makes you happier than being a source of consistent support for
your friends, Libra. But that doesn’t mean you should abandon your
boundaries, especially today, as your softhearted ruler Venus nuzzles
“wounded healer” comet Chiron. Give till it hurts, and you’ll only wind
up feeling resentful (and leaving the other parties feeling guilty). No
one expects you to prove your loyalty—especially if that means depleting
your energy reserves. If a friend is about to crash and burn, stop
yourself from jumping into the driver’s seat. Instead, point them in the
direction of a detour and let them steer to safety solo.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
You could wake up today ready to shake up all your routines as artistic
Venus gets in cahoots with healer-feeler comet Chiron. But don’t turn
your life upside-down just because you’re ultra-motivated to change (and
beautify!). That will simply overwhelm you and stall the mission. Start
with something manageable, like a project you can finish by the end of
the month or year. A small win reboots your confidence, and you’re more
likely to keep going from there. Avoid anything extreme, because hey, a
holiday drink or cookie will be hard to avoid right now.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Although you have a packed day ahead, don’t ignore your body’s demand
for self-care! Instead of pushing, reconfigure the plan so that you’re
not covering all the bases alone. Bow out of any activities that feel
obligatory and draining. Whether you’re working or holiday prepping (or
both!) enlist other people in tasks. They’ll be happy to pick up the
slack—and maybe join you to make the duties more fun. Then, see where
you can enjoy a little pampering, like an afterwork blowout or a
decadent dinner with a friend.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
As much as you admire
certain people, are you giving their opinions more weight than your own?
Today’s mashup of Venus and wounded healer comet Chiron can reveal
inequalities in relationships. These might be old family dynamics based
on age or birth order. Change doesn’t come overnight, but today you can
try making small tweaks. If you’re doing too much giving, pull back—if
only to observe the dynamic. Have you hoisted others onto a pedestal? Do
you think you have to prove yourself here? While that might be true,
there are ways to shine that don’t leave you feeling like you’re trying
too hard.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Who shores you up, Aquarius? Supportive
friends will be food for your soul today as radiant Venus gets in
formation with “wounded healer” comet Chiron. Whether you’re hosting an
actual event or regaling coworkers with a hilarious tale, you’re no
stranger to being the “entertainment” of any gathering. Just try not to
overdo it today! Silence doesn’t have to be awkward. Let someone else
MC, prepare the pitch deck or be the raconteur of the day. This might
bring the chance you’ve been waiting for to slip off for lunch with a
favorite confidante.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday December 18
Get ready to earn those loyalty
points today, Pisces, as you stand in as “the rock” for a struggling
friend. With lovebug Venus trining “wounded healer” comet Chiron, you’ll
be able to draw from the wisdom of your own experience and really help!
Just steer clear of that soapbox. It may be too soon to start offering
up life coaching. For the time being, empathy will be enough. Give
people the space (and silence) to think out loud, and the answer they’ve
been looking for will emerge from within.
