Horoscope for Monday, December 22, 2025
Moon alert
Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or big decisions from 8 to 10:15 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
When talking to friends or members of groups, tread lightly because people are emotional today, and because of this, someone might say something they will later regret. (This person could be you.) A platonic relationship could turn intensely romantic today.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Pull in your reins a little today because you might have strong feelings in a discussion with bosses, parents, the police or anyone in a position of authority. The thing to know is that you are high-profile; others will notice you. Be aware of this.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Be smart and avoid heated discussions about controversial topics like religion and politics because this is the classic day for people to butt heads. Emotions are running high. Some people will be entrenched in their views, and logic has left the room. Run away! Run away!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're an excellent saver and rarely casual about money. This could be why today you have strong feelings about financial matters, especially debt, shared property, inheritances or insurance issues. Early today, a partner or close friend might surprise you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Use your Leo charm and wisdom when dealing with partners and close friends today because feelings are intense and powerful. You might have a reaction to something someone says. Conversely, you might attract someone who is in your face. Take it easy. Count to three before you respond.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Today you're determined to introduce improvements to your job or the way you do something. Or perhaps this desire for improvement will extend to your health or the way you deal with a pet. Whatever the case, you might be fanatical about your new ideas. (Be aware of this.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Romance is complicated today. A relationship might be unbelievably passionate, or some kind of obsessive quality might take over if there are feelings of jealousy, fear, insecurity or possessiveness. Take a step back, and let some fresh air into the situation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today your ruler Pluto and the moon are aligned, creating an intense focus that can be self-analytical, whether you're looking more deeply into yourself or at someone else. To counter this, lighten up if you can. It's Monday, the first day of the week.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Steer clear of arguments with siblings, relatives, neighbors and any daily contacts you encounter because you might end up with egg on your face. (Ketchup helps.) You want to convince someone to agree with your ideas today. (That’s putting it mildly.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your thoughts about money, cash flow and your personal possessions are not casual today. Oh, no. You have specific, strong ideas. For starters, others should respect your assets because if they don't, they'll hear about it. Oh, yeah.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today the moon is in your sign lined up with Pluto, which will create intense, emotional experiences within you that might cloud your logic or sense of perspective. Be cautious against overestimating something. Avoid important decisions today.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a high-energy, popular day for you, and your involvement with others will be direct and possibly competitive. In fact, you might take charge of the situation. Be aware that something beneath the surface might be driving you to attain a certain result, whether you're aware of this or not.
If today is your birthday
Broadcast journalist Diane Sawyer (1945) shares your birthday. You are determined, patient and a long-term planner. You're a self-starter who likes to prepare meticulously. This is a year of learning and teaching for you. Explore meditation, spiritualism or philosophies that give you a better understanding of your life. Your time alone will be precious and valuable.
