Abby's Horoscopes Wednesday's Online Horoscope

12/23/2009
Wednesday

Aries
You're about to be on the receiving end of several pieces of really great news. Expect the word to arrive from a higher-up you weren't sure had ever noticed you. You'll be amazed to discover you definitely haven't been overlooked. Once that news sinks in, you may need to make a decision. A serious, wonderful decision. If it doesn't happen right away, be patient. It's coming.

Taurus
Some last-minute news is due so suddenly you may not know quite what to do with it. Several astral culprits are behind the situation, just waiting to shock and delight you. Fortunately, you're as steadfast as a sign can be. You wrote the book on being steady -- so if you need to make a tough decision based on your gut rather than on the facts, your antennae will guide you through it nicely.

Gemini
You're usually the last sign to take things seriously, especially if there's any way at all to have some fun. At the moment, however, your razor-sharp intellect has informed you that something needs to be done, and that you're the only person on board who's equipped to make a logical decision. Well, go ahead. You might have to sacrifice an evening of fun to get things straightened out, but won't you be proud tomorrow?

Cancer
Your house of relationships has been pretty darned crowded for the past few days, and it's probably going to stay that way, at least until after the first of the year. Does this mean you'll be entertaining all kinds of amazing new companions? You bet it does. In the meantime, you may also have to decide what to do with the 'old' ones. Better choose fast. Someone is about to issue what might sound suspiciously like a lover's ultimatum.

Leo
Just when you thought you were ready to settle down and stop showing the world how unique, unusual and sophisticated you are, someone has planted a bug in your brain that's making it impossible. The good news is you really weren't ready to quit -- and there's no bad news. You may need to deal with disappointing someone who thought you'd be spending a lot more time together fighting for your cause, but you're familiar with breaking hearts unintentionally, aren't you?

Virgo
After months of griping about how nothing exciting ever happens to you, your friends will suddenly need to remind you that you've been wishing this on yourself -- and to be quiet. Not that you'll mind. It's all about relationships taking surprising turns -- quite possibly because you've decided the old ways don't suit you anymore. You may have some explaining to do.

Libra
Your specialty is taking care of others, and more often than not, you do it at your own expense. Well, prepare yourself to make a decision that may actually take your own needs into account, just this once. Startling news that comes along this morning via a family member or an old, dear friend will convince you it's time. Still, move at your own pace.

Scorpio
You're absolutely entitled to indulge yourself in the deeper side of life: intimacy, intensity, intrigue and a bit of leisure. It's now officially your turn to go for it, and if anyone knows how to be hedonistic, it's you. At the tail end of this fun-loving period, however, you'll also feel the need to make a serious decision, but you'll be able to pull it off, no sweat. Clear your throat and make the announcement.

Sagittarius
Today's astrological weather will suit you just fine: An affectionate, inviting message that arrives this morning will set you off on a path that includes not just adventure, but a new and improved intimacy with your partner -- and no matter how subtle the invitation is, you'll understand the intent. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enjoy it all and shelve the guilt.

Capricorn
Several planetary influences will inspire you to go after what you want with a vengeance. If you're challenged, you'll deliver the perfect response in a most authoritative tone of voice, easily convincing any and all opponents just to drop it. Then there's your innate tendency to refuse to accept no for an answer. If anyone really does try to tangle with you, at least give them props for trying.

Aquarius
Just when you thought you were done righteously, instructing the world about exactly how it should be run, you've discovered you still have plenty left to say. Sure, you're up for a couple of days of well-earned rest, but you'll rally if it means convincing just one more person to toss their colors aside and wear yours. You can rest tomorrow. Maybe. For now, do what you do best: Win them over to your side with pure logic.

Pisces
For the next couple of days, you'll quite literally be wearing your heart on your sleeve. Does this mean you're especially vulnerable at the moment? You bet it does. Better call someone you love and trust and ask them to chaperone you when you go out, especially if you're about to venture out with anyone you're not quite sure of. Pack some tissues just in case.
