Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday December 23, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Yes, Aries, you want to get your hustle on…but first, a nap! Today, indulgent Venus, squares dreamy Neptune in your sector of rest and healing. Under this hazy, energy-draining formation, there’s really no point in pushing through. The right ideas and action plan are more likely to arrive while you’re curled up on the couch, zoning out to holiday music or stealing a quiet moment away from the chaos. Instead of juggling a million pre-holiday tasks, focus only on what truly needs to get done today. And don’t let needy people drain your reserves. It’s generous to be supportive—but not if it leaves you running on fumes before the festivities even begin.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
You’re in demand today, Taurus, but RSVP mindfully instead of
saying yes to every invitation that pops up. With social Venus squaring
mystical Neptune, the most rewarding plans will be the ones that feel
heartfelt and intentional—not just another stop on the party circuit.
Opt for gatherings with meaning: a cozy dinner, a caroling event, a
benefit or live music that puts you in the holiday spirit. Want to
reconnect with an old friend? Choose a setting where you can actually
talk, maybe over a festive meal or a warm drink. The conversations you
have now could be surprisingly rich and memorable.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
A Gemini
who stands for nothing falls for everything. You’ll need to stay
grounded today as people-pleasing Venus tangles with foggy Neptune.
Mixed signals and emotional undercurrents could make it tempting to go
along just to keep the peace—especially in professional or family
settings. But swallowing your truth now could lead to simmering
resentment later. Step back from the noise and take time to clarify your
own perspective before responding. Your intuitive, slightly
unconventional take may be exactly what helps everyone navigate the
pre-holiday pressure with a little more grace.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Resist the
urge to “fake it till you make it” today, Cancer. With Venus in your
perfectionistic sixth house squaring slippery Neptune, it may be
tempting to gloss over details you haven’t fully sorted yet—especially
as year-end deadlines and holiday pressure pile up. But if you
overpromise or bluff, it could come back to bite you. Keep things clean,
clear and well-documented, whether that means saving receipts or
looping everyone into an email chain. If you’re not fully prepped for a
meeting, it’s better to reschedule for after the holidays—or be upfront
about where things stand—than to scramble under a spotlight you didn’t
need to step into.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
With enticing Venus drifting through
your romance zone, you’ve been especially magnetic lately—and yes,
people are noticing. The only question is whether YOU are. With hazy
Neptune muddying your self-perception, you could slip into a brief
“compare and despair” spiral, reading too much into others’ moods or
measuring yourself against unrealistic standards. Hit pause on that
noise and restore your glow with some unapologetic self-care—especially
during this hectic pre-holiday stretch. A pedicure, massage or quiet
reset could work wonders. And while you’re at it, cancel plans with
anyone who’s more critical than kind. Protect your sparkle.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Your generous sign can be a bit of a people pleaser—but don’t forget to
please yourself, Virgo. Today, social Venus squares elusive Neptune,
which can blur boundaries and leave you doing more than your fair share
in certain relationships. Are you carrying the emotional or logistical
load while others coast? With holiday demands piling up, don’t let
family or friends take advantage of your spirit of service. Listen to
what they need, yes—but before you respond, consider how their request
will affect your already packed schedule.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Are you putting on a
happy face and telling everyone, “I’m fine!” while quietly simmering
underneath? Today’s Venus-Neptune square warns against masking stress or
emotional overload with forced cheer—especially during the holiday
crunch. If people’s expectations are stretching you thin, those feelings
will surface eventually, no matter how well you try to hide them. Be
honest about your limits before resentment builds. And if you’re the one
leaning on your inner circle for extra support right now, take a moment
to acknowledge it. A sincere thank-you—or a thoughtful gesture—goes a
long way.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
A money conversation could get a little slippery
today thanks to a complicated connection between indulgent Venus and
foggy Neptune. You may be tempted to smooth things over by playing the
diplomat—splitting costs or profits evenly just to keep the peace—but is
that actually fair? If someone has put in significantly more effort,
the numbers should reflect it. No need to nickel-and-dime, but clarity
now will prevent awkwardness later. As the year winds down, settle debts
and outstanding invoices so finances don’t cast a shadow over your
holiday cheer.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Everyone wants a piece of you today,
Archer, but don’t burn yourself out trying to squeeze them into an
already full agenda. With social Venus in your sign squaring sensitive
Neptune in your emotional fourth house, you’re basically an empathic
sponge—and too many plans could leave you wiped. Instead of powering
through pre-holiday obligations, give yourself permission to power down.
Order your favorite comfort food, cancel one nonessential plan and cue
up a nostalgic ’90s romcom. Your people will survive without you for one
night. Sometimes the most productive move is rest, preferably with a
little Sandra Bullock.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Uh-oh—did you mean to say THAT,
Capricorn? Today, gushy Venus hovers in Sagittarius and your
introspective twelfth house, squaring foggy Neptune and loosening your
emotional filter. In the holiday haze, you might be tempted to share
feelings or make promises before you’ve fully thought them through. Be
mindful of raising expectations you’re not ready to meet. If emotions
bubble up, jot them down or sit with them before hitting “send” or
speaking aloud. Not every thought needs a bow on it just yet.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
As tender Venus tangles with elusive Neptune today, don’t let
uncertainty or overwhelm derail your best-laid plans. Holiday
distractions can make it tempting to put your own tasks aside while you
jump in to help everyone else—but finish what’s on your plate first.
You’ll be in a much better position to offer guidance once your
responsibilities are handled. And here’s a radical idea: ask for support
in return. Teaming up, sharing resources or collaborating with your
crew could help everyone regain momentum before the festivities take
over.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday December 23
Ambiguity can breed contempt in relationships, Pisces, so if
you’re wondering where you stand with someone, it’s time to stop the
guesswork. Under today’s slippery square between generous Venus in
Sagittarius and foggy Neptune, mixed signals are easy to
misread—especially with emotions running high before the holidays.
Instead of filling in the blanks yourself, try defining the dynamics out
loud. Put it on the table: Do you need more of one thing and less of
another? Don’t jump to conclusions or assume the worst. Start by asking
thoughtful questions to reopen the lines of communication. Hang in
there, Fish. After an awkward warm-up, you can get back on the same
page—and enjoy the season with a little more clarity.
