Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 19, 2009: This year, you open up to new possibilities that up till now have eluded you. If single, you meet people with ease. If attached, the two of you, through becoming more community oriented and social, actually add another link to your bond. Aquarius makes a great friend.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Perfection is rarely reached. Aim high, but also know what it is you want and expect. Surround yourself with friends, and you might enjoy yourself far more than you thought possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Whether you are throwing the party or are the centerfold, much goes on around you. How you handle a situation that has unusual pressure and attachment could be important.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• If you can take off for a mini weekend retreat, please do. Some of you might escape the here and now by relaxing and choosing a different type of weekend escape.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Relate to others directly. Your attention and thought will be greatly appreciated no matter what. A change of plans or forthcoming news could surprise you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Let others make the first move. You have many options that appear out of the blue. Listen to suggestions that come forward. A key associate could act strangely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••• Get as much done as possible, especially as others will try to drop this errand or that little job on you. You could be out of sorts very quickly if you aren’t careful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Make a loved one, a new friend and/or a child a high priority. Not that you act to receive, but you will get back in multiples. Understanding evolves and trust builds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••• Stay close to home. In fact, you might be throwing a party or two. Let go and relax with those you care about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• Don’t stand on ceremony if you haven’t heard from someone for a long time. Just pick up the phone and say “hi.” There is a sense of going overboard right now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• You could be going overboard with spending, especially if you are trying to pick up some last-minute gifts. A sense of indulgence naturally comes from you at this time of year.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• You seem to be able to stabilize a situation by handling a long-overdue change. You’ll find stability when you detach from the here and now. Emotions often color situations far more than you realize.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Know when enough is enough. If you are feeling under the weather, make it OK. You simply cannot be everywhere all at once.
