Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 1, 2011: You are a cordial, sociable sign. This year is no exception. You will want to network and have even more interactions with people. If single, you could meet people so easily that you are almost constantly on a date! If attached, the two of you enjoy hanging with each other. Pisces can cause a lot of stress in your life. A baby born today before 6:45 a.m. Pacific time has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Aquarius. After that time, the moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Step back and understand what is happening within your immediate circle. Be a cynic financially. You know that money doesn’t grow on trees.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • You might be overlooking a special opportunity. Don’t worry about it, but be more alert. Sometimes an important offer won’t repeat itself. Keep your mind clear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You demand a lot of attention. Your laughter and easy style make a big difference. You might see a partner change dramatically in a significant area.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • You might be a bit out of kilter when dealing with daily routine matters. Let others do it, if they want to. Your mind drifts, and often you might not be present in a conversation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • You might not have as much of a choice as you would like when dealing with an issue. Someone else, who is also involved, decides to take the lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Defer to others, understanding what is happening behind the scenes. Even if you want to be low-key, it appears that too many people are around to have any privacy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • How you handle yourself and the choices you make could define the success of a personal or professional relationship.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Your immense creativity plays out in a very dramatic way. Much about you has changed – above all, your self-expression.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • You have ways of making a point so that others will never forget the message. Just how hard you want to clobber someone is your call.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Being aware of your financial situation is critical at this time of year, or, for that matter, at any time of year. One gift might be far more important than any other.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Your ability to perk up others might not work on you. Be careful that an error doesn’t turn into a big mistake. It is in your power to end the issue at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Use your high energy well. You also might note that you have an unusual influence on a friend and are able to change his or her mind.
