It’s officially Christmas, and your daily horoscope can help you make the most of the festivities - so what lies in store for you today?
There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
A work emergency doesn’t need your immediate attention; a workmate is just overreacting. Take this time to enjoy yourself. Letting loose and having fun will help you see your responsibilities more clearly. Christmas is all about finding that work/life balance, so go ahead and embrace it.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Taking control of your life is the best gift you can give yourself this Christmas. People have plenty to say but listen to your inner voice. What you are telling yourself is just as important. Don’t be surprised if you feel motivated to go after your dream job. Each small success will open a door to more.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
A friend’s early morning text messages aren’t particularly positive. Remember, just because they are going through a tough time this does not mean your Christmas has to be ruined. Focus on making the most of this festive season. Delight in the scrumptious food and the beautiful sounds and colours of the season.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
Don’t be surprised if at some time today you find yourself reflecting on your core values. If you realise you aren’t spending enough quality time with people you care about or on those things that bring you joy, it would be a good idea to reassess your priorities. You don’t have to overwork yourself to impress anyone.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
Don’t hesitate to embrace your romantic side now. Christmas is meant to be a magical time. Celebrate it in your own special way. Whether you choose to host a festive get-together, indulge in delicious food or give beautiful gifts, find ways to add some sparkle to the season.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Yule invites us to shine a light in the dark times. Instead of focusing on what’s going wrong, savour the joy of the moment. You’re doing plenty for others. Now do something nice for yourself, whether it’s reading a favourite book or watching a Christmas movie. This evening, celebrate the gift of friendship.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You’re in high demand this Christmas. Rather than accepting every invitation that comes your way, choose the events you really want to attend. Aim for festive celebrations that promise delicious food, fascinating company and lively music. A glamorous fundraiser will present you with a great opportunity to flaunt a stylish outfit.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
You’ve been overdoing it in an effort to make everything perfect this Christmas. A thoughtful relative will take on some errands for you. They’ve noticed you’ve been under pressure and there’s no need to feel bad about accepting their kind offer. Although special, this day can present different hurdles for everyone.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
The festive season often brings out the conflicts in relationships. You might appreciate your family, but they can sometimes behave in ways that drive you nuts. Instead of letting their outbursts affect you, work on finding your own happiness. Maybe even throw a little celebration without them.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
Christmas is a wonderful time for celebration. Instead of getting caught up in concerns about money, take a few minutes to appreciate all the good things in your life. When you appreciate your blessings, more prosperity will seem to come your way and by the time the New Year arrives, you will be able to handle your bills with ease.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Events and the atmosphere around you are encouraging a deeper reflection on your spiritual life. If you have been putting your inner world on the back burner, Christmas feels like an ideal time to change this. Aim to spend more time in the future on activities that bring meaning to your life.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
Your heart is full of joy. It doesn’t matter what other people might think. Christmas is a season for celebrating family and friendship. Be yourself. By accepting yourself, flaws and all, you will come to cherish the wonders of living. Laugh off your blunders and take pleasure in each success.
