Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 16, 2011: You are unusually direct and precise this year. At times, your candor could distance others. Work could be a source of confusion and/or misunderstandings. If single, you are in a position to meet many potential suitors. If attached, the two of you need to go out more together, bonding you closer. Choose a common commitment. Virgo can push hard. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Remain as mellow as possible. Pressure builds quickly, as you could be judging yourself a little too much. Let go of this internal conversation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • While many people stress out as a misunderstanding sets in, you find unusual solutions. A change in perspective might be absolutely necessary.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • You are well anchored and determined to achieve exactly what you want. Stay light with a family member who often has to speak of gloom and doom in the name of realism.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • You are full of fun and excitement. Listen to your inner voice about a misunderstanding. What purpose does a misunderstanding serve but to push someone away?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Be aware of what you have to offer – not everything can be measured in financial or monetary terms. A loved one could create quite a smoke screen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • • You are all smiles and move through a hassle easily. You might want to do something very different. Do just that.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • You might want to vanish and play it low-key. Your innate creativity points to an imaginative flight of fancy. Others try to get you to land, to no avail.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Zero in on what you want. A meeting plays a significant role in your plans. You could be confused about a domestic or personal matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • Pressure builds wherever you are. You feel overly responsible, as if you must perform. You jump through some unnecessary hoops.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You discover the importance of breaking past a self-imposed barrier. You will see situations more clearly and feel better ultimately.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • You might believe you are too dependent on another person. Don’t worry about it. You are far more independent than you realize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Others come toward you and share. In a professional situation, you might not mind – personally, you could feel burdened by some of what is said.
