AriesToday: Thursday 03 DecemberMake the most of this creative interlude to get into the festive spirit. This is a lovely day for making Christmas crafts, especially if you have younger siblings or can volunteer to help younger children - what more excuse do you need to get covered in glitter and paint?TaurusToday: Thursday 03 DecemberYour role today is very much that of a problem solver. Others simply can't see the obvious, so it seems, and it's your job to guide friends and family towards a logical solution and out of their assorted pickles and mires. It's tiresome and it's annoying and it's not really fair....but if you don't do it, nobody else will.GeminiToday: Thursday 03 DecemberYour popularity continues to soar with the Moon still in Gemini; you might simply be spoilt for choice over where to go, who with and why. Someone's bound to be disappointed that they can't spend time with you and you may face a choice between friends or boyfriend - but you have enough charm to quickly soothe any ruffled feathers. CancerToday: Thursday 03 DecemberSpicing up your routines is important to you today as you don't want to feel stuck in a rut. At school, things are dragging and you can't help feeling that you really don't need to be there. Try to channel any frustration into doing the best work you can. For variety, how about trying a new route home or visiting the next door town?LeoToday: Thursday 03 DecemberToday it's all about getting noticed, but to your dismay you'll find it hard to shine through the many others also hoping for temporary stardom. Standing out from the crowd means doing something different - but don't let yourself be known for tantrum throwing. Maintain your dignity, even if it's not your turn in the spotlight.VirgoToday: Thursday 03 DecemberAt school, you'll shine as a leader today. You have just the right blend of charisma and common sense to excel; people will be delighted to be on your team. Your steady skills and no-nonsense attitude wins you praise from teachers and parents alike, but it's not such a great day for creative subjects - you're struggling with the abstract just now.LibraToday: Thursday 03 DecemberA very chatty Thursday, this one. With a constant flow of communication, you're full of ideas, sparkle and wit. Someone finds your sociable enthusiasm very attractive, so expect to end the day with at least one new admirer.....quite possibly someone very interesting indeed, so don't judge by appearances alone!ScorpioToday: Thursday 03 DecemberFinances are a worry for you today, especially as your Christmas shopping gets underway. You'll feel awkward if you can't afford the same kind of treats as your friends, but you should talk to your parents about how you feel. They'll help you get things back in perspective again - and to understand that your time and company are worth far more than expensive trinkets.SagittariusToday: Thursday 03 DecemberWith the Moon still in Gemini, your opposite sign, you'll find it hard to get your own way today. Conflict with parents or teachers brings you into a situation where you simply cannot win. Better to give in gracefully rather than prolong the struggle. A day of constant battles won't help anyone.CapricornToday: Thursday 03 DecemberA sudden blip in your confidence may cause problems at school today, especially if you're supposed to be in the limelight. Take your courage in both hands and just get on with it, Capricorn. Remember, nobody else knows how nervous you are - so don't show them!AquariusToday: Thursday 03 DecemberYour charm and joie de vivre are still infectious, but teachers won't take too kindly to your influence at school. Even though you know the academic work is winding down for the term, some will still feel the need to assert control. Play your part as the dutiful student a little while longer, Aquarius. There's plenty of time for fun and games outside the classroom.PiscesToday: Thursday 03 DecemberFamily matters are still close to your heart but the atmosphere today is warm and loving. This would the perfect time for an old-fashioned family evening in, with board games, winter stories and candlelight. See what you can do to conjure up a convivial and relaxing mood for hard working parents.
