YOUR horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017:

This year you open up new doors and experience life from a renewed perspective. You find your day-to-day life much more agreeable, especially if you are willing to make the first move and express your feelings. If you are single, someone quite exotic could enter your life soon. Do not push this person too hard — let the relationship evolve at its own pace. If you are attached, the two of you will make a commitment that will recharge your life together. You are likely to draw a LIBRA into your life; his or her friendship could become very important to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Focus on a key person. You relate to others easily. You could meet someone today and feel as if she or he has been in your life forever. Communication activates both professionally and emotionally. You are likely to achieve what you want. Tonight: The unexpected occurs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Your patience appeals to many people who want to work with you or be part of your life. You have a lot to juggle and handle. You will manage to clear out a lot and not lose your easygoing attitude. Discussions later in the day could be significant. Tonight: As you like it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Keep communication moving, even if you feel overwhelmed at times. Just continue as you have been, as the finish line is much closer than you might realize. Ask for what you need in order to keep such an intense pace. Don’t give up! Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might want to cocoon at home. You have a fun style that draws people toward you; however, you can screen your calls and be unfindable, if you so choose. You have a lot to do, and you need some extra time to handle what you must. Tonight: Make a favourite meal.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Others find you easy to talk to. The biggest problem you might face is having enough time to socialize. You want what you want, and you’ll settle for nothing less. Vital discussions and intense feelings mark your day. You can deal with only so much. Tonight: Out and about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Indulging others happens naturally. Gifts you buy for someone are likely to make quite an impression. You also are likely to indulge yourself with a new gift! Be careful when making any money agreements, as plans might backfire. Tonight: Out getting into the holiday spirit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Back away from an ongoing issue and you’ll be much happier as a result. A loved one could be even more unpredictable than usual. Refuse to take this person’s critique personally. Your levelheadedness keeps your days more stable. Tonight: Go along with the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Instead of starting a fight to relieve some of the tension, face facts. You are known as the Scrooge within your group of friends, at least for now. Take good care of yourself and get some extra sleep, and you will see your mood change in a few days. Tonight: Schedule a massage.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

++++Others might wonder why you are constantly doing your happy dance. Whether you sense that a major change is about to head your way or you simply are happy to see Saturn leave your sign in a few weeks, you feel great. Tonight: A child plays a major role in what happens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Step up to the plate. You might not see a situation as clearly as you think you do. Be open to listening more and speaking less. You will catch more details about a key matter close to your heart. Know that you might need to stop to gather more information. Tonight: In the limelight.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might like a better friendship to evolve with someone who is quite different from you. Understanding and acceptance will be key. Expect the unexpected today. Others might be getting uptight with the holiday season in full force. Tonight: Allow new information to come to you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. Stay mellow, even in the face of an unanticipated event. You will need to ground the situation. What seems difficult to grasp now will become easier once you get out of your own head. Tonight: Accept a friend’s invitation.
