Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013: This year you have a tendency to overindulge and be a little too carefree. You often find yourself in a serious situation where you discover that others are responsive to a lighthearted approach. Your intuition needs to play a more significant role in these situations; otherwise, you could have a problem. If single, you seem to read people well. Someone unusual enters your life anytime from July on. If attached, the two of you are likely to benefit from planning a special trip together. Taurus demands a lot from you. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Aries if born before 12:40 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Taurus.
