Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 24, 2010: You often become distracted by a boss or key person in your life. This year, learn how to juggle the many demands of life. If single, you could meet someone quite special who you can become much closer to than anyone before. Don’t rush or push. If attached, you and your sweetie dance quite a jig. You enjoy each other more than you have in a long time. Leo helps you relax as he or she bottom-lines issues.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • You might feel as if you are on a countdown. You are! Use care with someone who has difficulty with the holidays. A little indulgence will go a long way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Understand your limits when dealing with family and last-minute details. The Bull is human. Stop pushing when it is evident that no more can be done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Don’t stand on ceremony with someone who plays games unconsciously. Make the extra effort; be clear in your message. A problem or a distance could be bridged.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Be aware of what is going on financially. You might not be able to make that last-minute effort or get that gift. Make it OK to give a card or some other less costly token of affection.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You always attract others, but especially so right now. Whether bringing friends and family together or taking care of last-minute details, make time for yourself too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Remember, you are still overly sensitive and perhaps in a “bah humbug” mood. Do your best to process your negative feelings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Your ability to draw people out could be more significant than you realize. You may decide to make a round of parties or visits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Assume a traditional role within your immediate circle. Whether you are throwing a get-together or taking care of older relatives or friends, know that you make a difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • You could be quite detached from those around you. If you need to make a call or take a walk in order to be more present, do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Explore the possibilities with others in discussions that might not be holiday related. Know what you would like to extract from this situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Juggling all your friends and maintaining a heavy pace could make even the strongest person tired. Remember to slow down sometime in the day and take a few minutes just for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Orchestrating events could be a dominant theme right now. You also might be picking up last-minute details involving work or a project.
