Be wary of emotional gaslighting and psychological sleight of hand when the full moon appears in Gemini on Dec. 13. It appears as if a loved one or trusted friend is trying to divert your attention away from something he doesn't want you to find out about, which makes you wonder whether he's doing this to cover up an embarrassing mistake or is playing you? In any case, you will need to have some solid evidence in place before you confront. It's kind of creepy having to collect all the inconsistencies, but the stronger your case the more likely he'll fess up. Hopefully, it will turn out to be something that he regarded as a white lie to protect your feelings. If not, then it's better to face the truth now rather than later.
Can you really fault a guy for wanting to be around you? All he said was that he liked you. This shouldn't be a cue for leading him on or blowing him off. It's OK if you don't see a future in it, but that doesn't mean that you can treat him worse than your worst enemy. Tell him you don't want to see him if that's what you feel, but if you do like having him around, you can do him the favor of being courteous. He's not a stand-in for all the guys who broke your heart. If anything, he's the remedy.

Your boyfriend or spouse is having some difficulty with the career path he's on. Outwardly, he looks great, but a peek under the hood reveals he's not a happy camper. Maybe he feels like he's in over his head, that what used to work doesn't anymore, or perhaps he took a left turn when he should have gone right. In any case, don't try to boost his spirits. You'll only exacerbate the insecurities. Let him talk when he wants to and try to listen to him without filtering everything through your expectations. This is a time when he really needs you in his corner.

You can't keep someone in your life if he doesn't want to be there. And frankly, you're tired of doing all the relating for both sides. You understand his doubts, frustrations and insecurities. Heaven knows you've had more than enough of those. The thing you can't understand is why he just sits there in his melancholy and soaks in it. It's not your style and that kind of mental paralysis defies all comprehension. Show him the door on Dec. 13. In all likelihood, he'll stay put, which means that the person who may have to pack up her things and move on will be you.

Stop passing the reins of the relationship back to him. He doesn't know what he wants, he doesn't know where he's going, and he clearly enjoys being a backseat driver. The only person who can answer whether she wants to be in this relationship or not is you. Cancers have this unfortunate habit of matching passivity with passivity in hopes that the other person will just go back to sleep, but that only results in bad dreams. Live the relationship you want to have. Chances are he's not going anywhere and will probably settle down once you stop insisting that he take the wheel.

Every once in a while, it's a good idea to pare down the friends list. This will become glaringly obvious on Dec. 13 when you hear a bitchy quip or malicious snipe. Maybe it's aimed at you or perhaps it's someone else. It doesn't really matter. It will prove to be the final straw. Life is too short to look the other way, to put up with the negative attitude or to tolerate naysayers in your social orbit. Thankfully, we live in a society where everyone has way too many friends to manage. All you have to do is click on "unfriend" and quietly slip away.

The holidays seem to bring out all the family ghosts of Christmas past, and this year won't be any different. Once again, you'll be revisiting all the slights, fights and rivalries, and once again, you'll feel like you're expected to "get over it." Maybe it's time you did. Thomas Wolfe once wrote, "you can't go home again," and he was right. It doesn't matter who hurt who — that was then and this is now and all the angry scenes and teary admissions won't make up for it. Give the greatest present you can and tear up the emotional scorecard. You'll be happier without it.

The way someone treats money says a lot about how he'll act in a relationship. Is he tight? Profligate? Generous?

It's hard being there for the people in your life. Demands at work are all-consuming and even though loved ones will shrug their shoulders and say that everything's all right, you can tell it's not. It's unlikely that you're going to walk out on your job, but you can start treating your home like it's a sanctuary city. In other words, stop genuflecting to the powers that be at work on every issue. Set up solid borders regarding time, communication and reasonable requests. Part of your fear is getting the sack, but you'll win respect instead. You'll also prove to loved ones that you're there for them.

Life hasn't been easy. You faced steep trials in 2016, and that series of setbacks you experienced was certainly discouraging. Yet somewhere along the way you assumed you didn't have to return favors, pay back loans or deliver on promises. And it's not because you were being rude, you were just focused on survival. Well, it's time to turn that around because Saturn opposite the full moon on Dec. 13 shows you're overdrawn at the bank of goodwill and you're at risk of being left out in the cold. It doesn't have to be — not when a simple "thank you" would warm hearts.
