Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday December 16, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
There may be no such thing as constructive criticism in your book today. Even the most well-intended advice could irk you under today friction-filled square between the Sun and stern Saturn. And be sure not to dole out any feedback yourself if you can’t bear it from others. Don’t let it get you down, Ram. Even a harsh critique can help you to grow and improve. If it seems like you’re hitting a wall, take a timeout and head to a yoga class or take a drive. A change of scenery can give you a fresh outlook and get your creative juices flowing.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Do you feel like the only adult in the room? Today’s tense angle
between the egocentric Sun and authoritarian Saturn could trigger a
rebellion. Either you’ll be the sole grownup in your crew or you’ll balk
at someone else’s attempts to boss you around. It’s way too easy to get
sucked into a power struggle now, Bull. This starmap is triggering
everyone’s insecurities, so a small skirmish could turn into a big
battle for control. Don’t take the bait. Give someone else a chance to
score what’s sure to be a hollow victory.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
It might not
be realistic to try to ink a deal right before the holidays, but you
might be tempted to edge it forward anyway. Don’t do it! As the Sun in
your commitment sector spars with stern Saturn in your ambition realm,
you could have second thoughts about the terms. Take your doubts as a
sign that you need more time before you put your name on the dotted
line. Use the holiday as an excuse to buy a couple of days for
conducting your due diligence. It’s possible that you’re blowing a
concern out of proportion, but don’t ignore it altogether. In the end,
you might opt to renegotiate a few things.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
You’re highly capable, Cancer, and today’s starmap can push you to put
in more effort to get the results you’re after. As the intrepid
Sagittarius Sun nudges ambitious Saturn, you could get a burst of
inspiration to try even harder. Take the bull by the horns so you don’t
feel like a passive bystander. When you’re in a more proactive position,
you can gather the courage to enjoy a more exploratory process, free of
perfectionism. If you do feel discouraged today, begin to shift your
mood just by focusing on how much you’ve already accomplished.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
You’re not interested in taking the easy way out today. You’d prefer to
climb the most difficult trail to the summit and earn bragging rights.
Your drive is impressive, but be sure the goal is worth all the blood,
sweat and tears you’re prepared to put in. Due to today’s tense angle
between the confident Sun and stern Saturn, this path could be harder
than you think. Are you ready to hang in there through thick and thin?
You might be better off giving yourself a break. You’ll live to fight
another day!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Go easy on your loved ones, Virgo. Even if
YOU know that you’re looking out for them and trying to help, today’s
tangled angle between the Sun and strict Saturn could make your advice
sound too harsh. Rather than offering your critique, ask questions that
get people talking. You might be surprised to find that they’ve already
come up with smart solutions. And don’t solicit others’ opinions on your
life either. You could make yourself nuts asking everybody for
feedback. Give yourself time to contemplate a complex issue for a day or
so. The answer could come to you all by itself.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Fools
rush in! Progress isn’t linear today, Libra, especially if you push the
pace with no game plan in sight. The confident Sun runs into trouble
with authoritative Saturn, which could bring you tumbling back down to
earth with a thud. It won’t be all that enjoyable, but follow the
taskmaster planet’s lead and put a solid structure in place before you
attempt to move forward. Once you know exactly what’s needed for this
venture to succeed, you’ll gain peace of mind.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Scorpio: Can you
handle a dose of your own medicine, Scorpio? If you’ve been doling out
unsolicited advice lately, today’s battle between the egocentric Sun and
harsh Saturn could put the shoe on the other foot. Someone’s feedback
could push your buttons, but you can learn something from this if you
don’t get your defenses up. Imagine how it felt to be on the receiving
end of YOUR “helpful hints.” Could you deliver your message more gently
and compassionately next time? And while you’re reforming your ways, do
you need to apologize to anyone? A simple “sorry” will go a long way
today.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Were you hoping to sidestep family drama
this holiday season? The planets don’t seem to be onboard with your plan
today as the Sagittarius Sun locks horns with severe Saturn in your emo
fourth house, dialing up tension on the home front. If you keep having
the same argument with a relative, you may need to declare that specific
topics are strictly off-limits. That might be the only way to keep the
peace, Archer. Find common ground, even if it’s something as simple as
swapping recipes or sharing favorite memories from holidays past. It’s
worth a try!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
If you’re feeling low or annoyed today,
don’t look for a distraction. Grab some alone time to process your
emotions. Do a workout to clear your head or pour your heart out in your
journal. With the Sun in your intuition corner nudging your ruling
planet, savvy Saturn, you should be able to drill down to the core of
this issue. There’s no rush though. If you’re going to get past this,
you need to give yourself time to understand what’s really bothering
you.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Although you’re generally a team player, there
are times when you feel like taking charge and bossing others around.
Today, when the egocentric Sun spars with stern Saturn, you could catch
yourself giving out marching orders and demanding that people fall in
line and follow YOUR plan to the letter. Maybe it really is the best
one. But you need to be more flexible if you want to avoid triggering an
all-out rebellion. Others will be much more receptive to your vision
when you frame it as a suggestion.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 16
Gloating isn’t a good
look, Pisces. Choose to be gracious instead. As the Sagittarius Sun
duels with limiting Saturn, you might spur competition if you show off
your accomplishments without sharing some of the credit. There’s no need
to diminish your own success or hide your light. But make a point of
lifting others up and empowering them to be even better. Could you give
some advice to a rookie or mentor someone in a younger generation? Lead
by example, and people will be only too happy to acknowledge your
greatness.
