Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 17, 2009: This year, you become more and more concerned with creating financial stability. This concern will draw only positive results, and you will enjoy the rewards of this attention. If single, certainly no one can deny your allure. If attached, the two of you will become closer if you work on a joint commitment. Capricorn has another financial perspective.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ••••You have a lot of pressure to deal with. An uncommunicative partner only complicates matters. Realize what needs to happen within your immediate circle of friends, and follow through.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) •••• If you have difficulty understanding something, clear your head and detach from your emotions. Then and only then will you find the answers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• You might want to see which way is best for you financially. You want to support yourself in making good choices, even if they are not the best. Zero in on what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Kick back, knowing and understanding your limits. You might want to rethink a decision, as the portfolio could be changing. Don’t hold back. A partner gives you very strong feedback.
