Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 15, 2011: This year you often feel very sure of yourself. Your thinking might be grounded, but for whatever reason, an element of confusion runs through your life. Your positive attitude helps you work through problems. You also will attract people who are more upbeat. If single, you could date to your heart’s content. If attached, take up a new hobby together. Virgo can push you beyond your limits. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Leo until 7:54 p.m. Pacific time, when the moon enters Virgo.
