Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2009: This year, you want to change a lot about your daily life. You will have just that opportunity. If single, you’ll open a new door. If attached, the two of you will benefit from better communication and a willingness to detach. Work on the friendship that exists between you as well. Pisces understands you well.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ••• Refuse to look backward. There is also a problem with looking forward. You cannot stay present in your life if you look in either direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Your holiday goals are about to come to fruition. Make sure you complete as much as you can today, before events and people cause complications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Touch base with many of your friends and associates. This might be the last time you can wish them Merry Christmas. You also might have to take the lead at work to get a project done.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Find expert advice, or listen to a partner who just might know more than you think. Being able to defer could be more significant than it appears to be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• You don’t play second fiddle all that easily, but under the present circumstances you will need to. Your style of handling a personal matter needs a little bit of doctoring.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• You understand that others demand the limelight in nearly all realms of your life. Though you might feel frustrated, tap into your ingenuity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Complete any errands if you can. Start clearing out work as well. Honor a natural give-and-take that goes on between you and another person.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Sometimes no one can stop you, and this is such a time. Your imagination, charisma and energy mix, making it close to impossible to say “no” to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••• Stay centered when others seem to be losing it. You could choose to stay close to home or work from home, if that might help you stay on top of your work and personal schedule.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Zero in on what you want. Conversations open doors and allow greater flexibility. If you want to try a different approach or style, just communicate your intentions and go for it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• The time for conversation has come. You might want to open up with someone you look up to. You might be so much for an idea, that you could overcommit your resources.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Think twice and understand what needs to happen. You could see a sudden change in what is happening. Keep an overview in mind as long as you can.
