Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 14, 2018:

This year you open up to others. Still, you could act in an unpredictable way that surprises those around you. You often think one thing, yet you do something completely different. You will get a handle on this behaviour as you become more aware of this pattern. If you are single, you will meet someone who knocks your socks off. This person might be amused by your behaviour and will accept you as you are. If you are attached, your sweetie probably likes the excitement of your diverse personality. Plan a long-desired trip together. Pisces helps you to be as clear as possible.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Your optimism and enjoyment of your personal life come out, even when dealing with a difficult associate. Questions might arise in a meeting or in a discussion involving a friend. Listen carefully and observe. Indulge an important child in your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You will speak and be heard; the modulation of your voice says it all. You would prefer to indulge a loved one rather than have to put restrictions on him or her. You will hear positive news, but recognize that you might not have all the facts.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ Before you go out to complete any holiday shopping or other matters related to the next few weeks, balance your chequebook and take a hard look at your finances. Everyone loves to give gifts, including you, but creating situations that will be damaging later should be avoided.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ A gesture to those in your daily life will mean a lot, and it doesn’t need to cost a lot. A loved one might feel a bit down, as you seem to be everywhere but with him or her. This person will understand your actions, but know that he or she misses you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★ Know when to pull back and find out what is happening. You might not understand the whole story, so speak to a friend or loved one who could give you a different perspective. Have a difficult conversation, and figure out what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ A meeting will be more important than you realize. Push could come to shove, whether you like it or not.

Your seriousness will help you communicate how important an appropriate response might be. Get as much information as possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ Step up to the plate and assume your responsibilities. Your finances could stress you out inordinately, especially as you might be facing big bills and also coveting a special item for yourself or a loved one.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Keep reaching out to a relative at a distance. A situation could trigger you, but the matter at hand will transform soon enough. Let others’ opinions filter in. At the end of the day, it will be you who has the final opinion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ Deal with a loved one directly. You might feel as if you are carrying a burden that is hard to discuss; however, you must open up in order to release this weight. One-on-one conversations could help the situation considerably.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Listen to answers and defer to someone else. Allow greater flexibility. Going with the flow could be a lot easier than you originally might have thought. In the past few weeks, if you have managed to relax, you have experienced more freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Pace yourself, and know full well what you need to do. A boss or higherup could be on your case because he or she needs you to do more. You are in the holiday spirit. Therefore, you will try to meet all of your demands, and you might even succeed.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Allow greater creativity to flourish. You have many ideas that could help you shorten your to-do list. Take the time to add some of the extra flourishes that represent the winter holidays.
