December 16: Your daily horoscope Teamwork is essential over the coming 12 months, even if you are the sort who likes to go it alone. Co-operation always will be the key to success and that applies as much to personal affairs as it does to your career. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Family and financial problems can easily be resolved over the next seven days, but you must not keep putting them off. If you have to say something unpleasant, the quicker you get it over with, the less it will hurt - for both of you. Speak up if you have something important to say, but make sure you listen, too, because the feedback you get could be invaluable. Also, someone you meet on your travels will come up with an idea that you take to immediately. You may have to bluff your way through the sort of situation you would usually cope with quite easily today. Fortunately, others expect you to be confident and outspoken, so you will carry it off and no one will be any the wiser. As some of your views are a bit controversial, there could be some interesting skirmishes today. But don't make a scene if someone who disagrees with you challenges your grasp of the facts. Stay calm and prove them wrong. LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23) Others may be having second thoughts about what you are doing, but you have no such doubts. Even if you do make a mistake or two along the way, your momentum and sense of purpose will keep you moving toward your goal. Your confidence is sky high at the moment and because of that, you are ready to risk almost anything to prove you are the best. Before the day is over, even your critics will be singing your praises and willing you to succeed. 24 - Oct. 23) You will get your way on the work front easily enough today, but you may upset a few people along the way. That won't worry you in the slightest. You are determined to make your mark and make some serious money, too. You will be rather outspoken today, which is not unusual, but make sure your criticisms are justified or you could make enemies of people who should be your friends. If you damage someone's reputation, they'll want to damage you. Mercury combined with your ruler Jupiter warns that what others tell you and what they believe may be two completely different things. Don't commit yourself financially before you know for certain they will commit themselves, too. You don't lack for ideas at the moment, but you seem strangely reluctant to let the world know about them. Maybe that's not such a bad thing. You don't want rivals stealing your insights before you get the chance to exploit them yourself. The answers you seek are not that hard to find, but you will surely find them quicker today if you get some assistance. And don't make things too complicated for yourself - the simplest answers are nearly always the best. You must check facts and figures carefully today as Mercury linked to retrograde Jupiter warns that someone is trying to deceive you or you will in some way deceive yourself. See what is there, not what you hope is there
