Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 24, 2012: This year you are grounded. You make strong financial decisions; however, sometimes you will need to seek out others for ideas. Your creativity is most present when you are brainstorming and focused, and your environment affects your thinking. If single, during this period, Cupid’s arrow is nearby. A romance could develop into more. If attached, the two of you have worked hard to get where you are. Come June, you’ll enjoy and celebrate this. Taurus often heads down the conventional route, so don’t look to him or her for dynamic ideas. A baby born today has a sun in Capricorn and a moon in Taurus.
