Your daily horoscopes for Monday December 9, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
Close the opinion polls and think for yourself, Aries. Now that you’ve gotten a recent round of feedback, take a moment to integrate what you heard. With the moon in your sign getting powered up by your ruler, take-charge Mars (newly gone retrograde), you need to discern the good advice from the bad. Incorporate only the most helpful perspectives into your game plan. Not sure where to start? Break down your massive mission into smaller steps. That way, you’re not overwhelmed by the enormity of your objective. And remember: Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
You could be moodier than usual under today’s sensitive trine between the moon and retrograde Mars. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself empathizing deeply with someone’s tale of woe or feeling a wave of emotion overtake you. Is someone in your inner circle struggling with a difficult personal issue? Reach out and offer support. Just know that with Mars in reverse, your own resources may be limited. Make sure you have the bandwidth to follow through on what you offer.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
Today’s moon-Mars trine pushes you to have an honest, direct conversation. Have you been avoiding this encounter? Notice where you might be impulsively scrolling through your feeds or pressing that “add to cart” button, and recognize the underlying anxieties. With assertive Mars retrograde, you could have some bottled-up anger that you haven’t expressed. With both Mars AND communication planet Mercury in reverse, it might take a few attempts to get this resolved. With patience and persistence, you can finally resolve this.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
Juggling too much? Today, notice where your people-pleasing impulses have left you with too much on your plate. Tempted as you are to simply power through the stress, that’s only a Band-Aid solution. Under today’s moon-Mars trine, you’ll need to prioritize and set firm boundaries. Politely decline any opportunities that don’t forward your biggest goals. Delegate some duties or ask for an extension on an impending deadline so you can really do it right. By taking charge of this ship you can accomplish a major milestone before the week ends.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
You love to pack your schedule with stimulating plans, but it’s equally important to balance those ambitious outings with unstructured downtime to time to relax and play. With Mars retrograde in Leo for the rest of the year, those much-needed breaks won’t just magically schedule themselves now. You have to make a conscious effort to go offline as needed. Carve out calendar space to explore new turf or say “yes” to a spontaneous day trip or a longer getaway in the weeks ahead. If you can’t leave town, make it a staycation and explore local turf or dive into a captivating book.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 9
Struggling with constant interruptions? You’re in hyper-focused mode, attempting to power through your duties before holiday season overtakes you. Even while juggling all the things, do your best to avoid multitasking. Handling one thing at a time will get you to the finish line fastest. With la luna in your intimate eighth house, your inner hermit is craving privacy. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’d object to the scintillating company of a certain sexy plus-one after work. If you have someone in mind, issue that invite and see if they’re up for the same.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday December 9

Or maybe a brainstorming session prompts you to share an important message online via a blog post or social media outlet. (Just tease instead of offloading TMI with Mars retrograde.) Whatever your method, you’re interested in tapping into collective concerns and acting collaboratively. As the old saying goes, If you want to go far, go together.
