Horoscopes: Monday, December 4, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your ideal day today is very different from what your ideal day would have been a few years ago - more proof that you're growing and changing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's not so easy for you to set boundaries today, but do it anyway. This is a situation to nip in the bud. Expect a little awkwardness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can afford to be choosy about what you take seriously. Anyone with sight can see things, but it takes someone with wisdom to see beyond or through things.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're holding on to a moment in the past to learn from it, or maybe it's because it has become so much of who you are. If it causes you sadness, let it go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you start off the same way, you'll soon find yourself in the same spot that made you want to start over in the first place. There's a chance to begin again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People around you may be pretending to love things because they feel they're supposed to. Maybe their jobs or friendships depend on it. You'll have a more objective, accurate view.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When a project doesn't work, it's not always the project's fault. Before you throw in the towel on your current project, figure out what you could change to make the setting more supportive.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You think; therefore, you are. And as you become aware of some of the shady things going on around you today, you won't exactly like what this implies. Seek inspiration and light. Let the sun shine on your thoughts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's as if your playlist is on repeat. But don't worry; it won't be long before a fresh influence shows up. In fact, the excitement that tumbles into your world this afternoon is the start of it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Bandages of the modern world often come in stylish colors and patterns because why shouldn't healing have a little joy in it? Apply the same principle to an emotional healing, which doesn't have to be solely drudgery.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because of your stellar sense of humor, you may be tempted to make light of something other people hold sacred. Q: If a joke falls in the forest and no one is there to laugh, was it funny? A: Nope.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your insights today will be spot on, but that, in and of itself, is not a good enough reason to share them. Jot them down. Collect them. They're gold, but you have to wait for the right exchange rate to get the value.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 4). This year motivates you to create new rules and goals for yourself and stick with them. Your work will be graded over the next 10 weeks, and you'll love what comes of this. People do extreme things for their love of you. Your public persona becomes key to success in May. Fun changes ensue. Cancer and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 3, 22, 38 and 14.
