Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 26, 2009: This year, family matters take precedence. Nevertheless, if you’re attached, you might suddenly find that you have a new addition to your family. If single, you could meet someone very sensuous and alluring. Please note that you are going through an intense personal transformation, and the person you choose this year might not be right for you later. Stay open, but do enjoy this bond. Taurus is an anchor.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• The best laid plans can fall apart, especially as an older person could become more demanding. Work could require unanticipated attention. Focus on long-term goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) •••You might want to reverse gears. Plans change rapidly, and a call or visit with someone at a distance could force a change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) •••• Use the beginning of the day for any matter that is close to your heart. You could be rethinking a personal issue later today and might not be as present in the moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) •••• Others come to you to handle a problem. A partner could become strange or angry. Give this person space, as he or she is working through a problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Keep reaching out for someone at a distance who you might have missed. Perhaps with less pressure, you will enjoy each other more.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Deal with others directly. In fact, try to avoid groups right now, if possible. Hop in the car in the afternoon for a drive. You’ll enjoy yourself as you let your imagination go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Others make requests, and you could feel stretched to the max. Have a deep, reflective conversation with a friend or loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Consider yourself to still be on vacation. You want to spend time with a dear friend, child or loved one. Confirm meetings, plans and even what you hear.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• Catch up on a neighbor’s news. A close relative also wants your attention. On the same hand, you have a lot to do and much ground to cover.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••• Try to be subtle if you’re adding up the costs of Christmas. Let go of this issue for now, and enjoy people you normally don’t get to see.
