Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009: Keep a steady pace this year, and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. If single, you easily could become someone’s anchor in the storm of life. If attached, your significant other might need more nurturing than in the past. Make it your pleasure. You can count on Taurus.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Whether balancing your checkbook or off playing Santa, deal with your budget. Try a new approach to the holidays, and you could be delighted by the outcome. Someone you look up to is changing in front of your very eyes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Establish new groundwork, and be ready to have a long-overdue talk with a partner. Your ability to sort the wheat from the chaff emerges. Reach out for someone at a distance, and you will revive your thinking, at least about the holidays.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••• Choose to keep your own counsel, even in a talk with a partner. A trip or matter involving someone at a distance takes on new importance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Zero in on what you want. You could be making a big deal out of nothing. Join friends to share in a holiday happening or a simple, fun get-together.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• Take a stand and allow more give-and-take between family and a key person in your life. Sometimes you separate the two rather than risk a collision.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• Reach out for someone at a distance. You might want to rethink holiday plans. Consider a friend who may be alone. Join friends at a concert or movie. You need a break from all that is going on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• A partner makes it clear that it is time to talk turkey, so to speak. You could be uncomfortable with his or her intensity, but once the talk happens, you’ll relax.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Others have so many ideas and plans, all you need to do is catch up with them. Spend time at home, perhaps relaxing or getting out your Christmas decor. Just don’t push.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••• You have been postponing a project. After all, there are so many better things to do. Whether you like it or not, the time has come, though you can invite a child or loved one to join you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Let your imagination rock and roll. Your more perky, fun, sensual personality emerges. Join in and get into a game with a child or partner – let the child in you out. Be more spontaneous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••• You could be overwhelmed by all the ground you need to cover. Invite family over for an early dinner. A family game takes over. Just let it happen.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Whether you are on the phone, reading the paper, surfing the Net or addressing Christmas cards makes little difference. You are about communication in some form.
