December 4: Your daily horoscope Are you hungry for success? Are you eager to prove yourself? Hopefully the answer is yes, because the planets indicate great things for Sags who are willing to risk all to gain all. Life is what you choose to make of it. Choose excellence every time. You will hear something amazing today, but can you believe it? If it sounds too good to be true then it might be wise to check it out. Commit too soon and you could find you have signed up for something that does you no good. The only thing to fear is fear itself, so put your doubts behind you and plunge headlong into the unknown. That might not sound like a typically Taurus thing to do, but, seriously, what have you got to lose? Take a chance. Someone in a position of power thinks you're pretty special and if you are smart you will play up to it and make it pay. Use your way with words to get a promotion or a pay rise. If you're really smart you might even get both. If someone is difficult to get along with today, you should make it your business to find out why. Most likely it is nothing too serious and may even be something you are able to help with. Then they'll adore as well as respect you! You may have no particular interest in the chores you are expected to do today, but do them anyway and make sure you do a good job. Come the weekend you will be free again to pursue your own interests with a clear conscience. Family relationships are under favourable stars at the moment, so reach out to someone you love and let them know how you feel. Some say Virgos are cool and calculating, so now is your chance to prove them wrong. Use your head today, especially when dealing with people who tend to get emotional over what are really quite trivial matters. No matter how agitated they may get you should remain calm and stay focused on the facts. You may have deep personal feelings about a certain situation, but you must not let emotions get in the way of what needs to be done. Yes, of course, love makes the world go around, but it needs a large dash of common sense, too. If a tough decision is called for then you must make it and live with the consequences. The planets warn that the worst possible thing you can do right now is to hedge your bets - come down on one side of the fence or the other. Act rationally in everything you do today, even if it gets you a reputation as someone who is all head and no heart. Experience has taught you that people who follow only their emotions usually end up with nothing worth having. You are advised not to make any hasty decisions today. You may believe you know all the facts but the planets warn there is one little thing you have overlooked - and that one little thing could have very big consequences. Someone who has a lot more experience than you could be of enormous help today, but you need to remember that they can't ready your mind. Whatever it is you desire you must spell it out for them in plain and simple language.
