Happy birthday for Thursday, Dec. 2, 2004:

You have the ability to pull back and not get too involved in what is happening, if you so choose. Use that detachment to gain perspective and to learn to understand others better. Travel and education could play significant roles in your year. Learn to express your feelings more often. Use your sixth sense more often. Share more of your dreams. Success will come naturally if you are focused on your goals. If you are single, someone quite rewarding and interesting will enter your life. Network professionally and personally. If you are attached, work together to make a dream happen. Leo always has a different point of view.

Aries (March 21-April 19) – You can either be dragged into the commotion this morning or put an end to it. You are hot tempered right now, my dear Ram. Easily, you could lose your temper. Later, you decide a peace offering might be just what the doctor ordered.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) – You might get into a verbal tussle with an associate or family member. Though some ugly words might be said, it has nothing to do with you, but his or her frustration. Take the time to brainstorm with this person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) – You might be accepting more responsibility than you can handle. This drain becomes obvious in an argument or accident (be careful). Slow down and do more mental work, which might involve some daydreaming as well.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) – A risk backfires big time, and you might hear about this flub-up for quite a while. Don’t get irritated; just know that there is some truth to what others say. Be a gracious listener. A partner or dear friend asks for special time. Why not?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) – The Lion might roar today and expect others to respond, but clearly someone is not impressed. Let it go and continue to do your thing. A partner, friend or loved one invites you out. He or she wants to indulge you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Easily, disruption occurs in your mind because of another’s hard or sarcastic remark. Could this person be talking about him- or herself? Toss yourself into the wonderful nurturing and creative part of your life.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) – Look at the long-term gains or losses rather than get into a tussle with someone. Your diplomacy could save the day. Creativity urges you to indulge. You might not want to hold yourself back, either.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) – Your mood swings from impatience and frustration to affectionate and docile. If you get some strange reactions, don’t be surprised. Work demands your leadership and attention. Still, your mind slips to personal matters.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) – You will need to detach and remain philosophical with others acting, at best, strangely. You might be irritated and angry. Be careful how you express your dismay. Perhaps look to solutions and better ideas.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Friends could be disruptive and toss a kink into your day. You might be best off confiding in and working with a special associate or partner. Money slips through your fingers. Careful! You like that jingle in your pocket.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) – You might be getting mixed messages, at best. Decide to go on your own path rather than get caught up in present complications. Others seek you out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) – Your mind might be far away from work and what is happening. Do your best to lasso yourself in and concentrate. You will get a lot done professionally as a result.
