Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 29, 2009: This year, others find you to be unusually mercurial and changeable. If single, you often feel at odds with your responsibilities and what you would like to do. If attached, the two of you simply need to lighten up and enjoy more. A relative could be demanding of both of you. Sagittarius reads you cold.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• The time has come to clear the air with a partner. You might have some trepidation, but you also know that it is more than necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Stay sensitive to expenditures, whether you want to or not. You are at a point where a lot could happen quickly, especially involving your day-to-day life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• You are all smiles and ready for a different or more dynamic approach. How you handle a situation and what evolves could transform radically.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••• Know when to pull back and keep your own counsel. You could be out of sorts. Stay mum for a while, knowing that there are other solutions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• You might want to rethink a situation that emerges out of the blue. Your way or style is very different from how it has been in the past.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Through accepting more responsibility, you’ll gain an even stronger foothold in a professional and/or emotional situation. Through asking more questions, you’ll see and understand someone’s fiscal response.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Keep reaching out and attempting to get the big picture. You might be trying too hard to make what is necessary happen. Let go, and you could be delighted by what comes in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• Relate to others individually, and you’ll make headway in a key relationship. Sometimes you doubt yourself or don’t believe in the innate power that draws many close to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• Focus on getting the job done. You could be overly tired and worn out by recent events. Listen more to what is being shared. Not everything is as you would like it to be or how you see it right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• Your creativity easily gets stirred up. Loosen up and realize that very few people can even understand how you think, much less go along with it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Sometimes too much is going on for your taste. Loosen up and relax. You don’t need to carry others’ responsibilities or worries, at least for now.
