Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2010: This year, dealing with two different forces or situations helps you perfect the art of juggling. Use your creativity to create a middle ground. If single, separate your personal and professional lives. Don’t let one take root in the other. If attached, the two of you need to respect your differences. Encourage differences. Life as a couple could be more exciting that way. Cancer has a way of testing your limits.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • You move quickly, mentally and physically. You know what you are doing. Careful! Fatigue could mark a decision at work. You want to get going and start the holiday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Keep communicating exactly what you are thinking. Your verbal style appeals to many people, yet present fatigue in your voice might be misread.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • A last-minute crisis forcing unanticipated spending could put the kibosh on this holiday. Slow down. Move from automatic to reflective and thoughtful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • You make a special effort toward a child or loved one. Though this person might not realize what you have done immediately, he or she will eventually.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Everyone knows that the Lion doesn’t want to step out of the limelight. Just wait a little while longer, and the spotlight will be on you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • • Meetings are strategic. You seem to relate to the crowd rather than the individual. Be willing to say “no” to another person’s request.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Count on last-minute requests wherever you are, no matter what you are doing. Your softer side emerges, and you just might overcommit yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Make sure you touch base with those at a distance while you still have time. You could become more and more spread thin in the next few days.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Relate to people directly. Sending a message might not have the same quality as a phone call. Others are unusually gracious and ready to share.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You don’t defer easily, unless it is part of the plan, and it must be your plan as well! Still, with so much pressure on your shoulders, you might have little choice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • Focus on one task at a time. You’ll accomplish a lot very quickly, ultimately creating more free time. Be careful not to overcommit yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Pull out the stopper and allow your imagination to fill in the gaps with work, people and perhaps with a gift or two. You might not be able to shut off your creativity.
