Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013: This year excitement and the unexpected will prevent you from being bored. Your ability to flex will be critical to your success and happiness. Look at the next 12 months as an adventure in your life. If single, don’t commit until summer, at the earliest, even if you feel you have met your Romeo or Juliet. If attached, you will act like newfound lovers. Enjoy every moment! Cancer often demonstrates his or her caring for you. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Cancer.
