Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 18, 2011: You discover that out of the seeds of the unexpected come some very special opportunities. Learn to work with change rather than fear it. If single, you could meet someone very special this year. Be open. If attached, the two of you enjoy socializing and being seen out and about. Libra is a good friend. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Libra if born after 12:06 a.m. Pacific time. Before that time, the child has a moon in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Others make it clear they desire your presence. Without realizing it, you have processed a lot in your sleep. Don’t be surprised if you are more tired than usual.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Once more, you need a day dedicated to the tired Bull within. You might not have the luxury of a whole day, yet for everyone’s sake, take an hour.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You sense something is going on. Follow your intuition emotionally. A relationship takes a higher priority. Don’t scatter yourself; focus on one person at a time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • You love downtime at home. Make it so. Calls come in, and you just might invite someone over to help with a holiday chore (like baking cookies!).

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • You are likely to be the friendliest of signs once you wake up. Make Sunday calls. Reach out for others. Maximize the time you have with each person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Whatever you are up to, your budget is involved. Whether off buying a tree, putting in overtime or playing Santa’s elf, communication is important.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Lunar rays flatter you. If you are looking for the right time to express a key issue or thought, eye the next few days.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Take a hint from Cancer’s message: Stay close to home. Make it all right to play the recluse. What actually happens might be another issue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Plans could be tossed to the wayside, but all the better. You’ll replace them with an activity or get-together that feels so much more fun and appropriate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You feel pressure from various situations. You might be assuming too much responsibility. Let go of what you don’t need to do and, if you can, delegate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • If a loved one or dear friend snaps, know that this is not the situation all the time. Kick back and relax. Understand someone’s grumpiness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Go out with a dear friend or partner. Enjoy yourself, even if you cannot get away from the crowds. Let go of stress, and accept the situation as part of the holidays.
