The stars show what kind of day you’

Aries (March 21-April 19) – A change of pace as well as the moods of others eases a lot of the pressure at work. Add a creative and humorous dimension to the day. Others finally respond. Be careful about a flirtation. It could go a lot further.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – Slow down some and use the day to anchor in on basics. It might be more important than you realize to handle a family member or domestic issue now. Slow down, but be sensitive to a key partner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – Your Ruler in retrograde might already be causing you a hassle or two. Pull back and avoid reacting. In the next few weeks, when strange or odd happenings occur, think about how you could have prevented the problem.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – Take a strong hand with your finances. Right now you don’t want to go hog-wild, no matter what. Tame your Christmas-gift spending by choosing more experience-type gifts. Give a loved one a foot rub for Christmas. Use your imagination.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’re in your prime, finally resolving difficult feelings and returning to your sunny, happy self. You embody the feeling of the holidays as you add a little joy in the life of nearly everyone you talk to. Verify the time of a meeting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You might need some time off to regroup or to just rest up. With the last few days and the retrograde of your ruler’s sign, you might be up for several bad-hair days. Lie back and relax.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Your friends help you with whatever you want to accomplish. Some might just want to take off and make this an easy day. Others naturally brainstorm and come up with solutions. Your flirtatious side emerges.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Others might flake out, but the dependable Scorp comes through no matter what. Bosses and those you care about note your diligence and positive attitude. Weigh a moneymaking scheme carefully.

Sagittarius (nov. 22-dec. 21) – What you hear might be a bit far-out. Check out facts on your own. Your imagination leads to daydreaming and many different ideas and solutions. Detach from the moment and relax your mind.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Let someone else make the first move. If you do lie back, you will be in a position of power and control. You might want to let this person air out his or her ideas, keeping your opinion to yourself right now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – You might be reactive to others, but you are also having a good time. Allow your love of people and causes to emerge. Others appreciate your efforts. Sort through projects, and take on the one you want.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – You’re one of the few who can get work done. Dig in while others run off and are frivolous and silly. You get that way sometimes too. With those in charge, “yes” is the right word. Go along with this person.
