YourHoroscope
MONDAY, DECEMBER 5
The Sagittarius sun often drives us toward the unknown, which can be scary, but somehow isn’t because curiosity keeps fear at bay.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your invigorating presence is needed at a function where, quite frankly, everyone will die of boredom without you. Go where you are most useful, and have fun with the very things others take too seriously.
TAURUS ( April 20-May 20). You’re like an elephant — your memory is long and soulful. The planets provide you with a muse. Some of what’s in that pretty head of yours could be downloaded and turned into a magnificent poem.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do you think you could go an entire day without uttering the word “ I”? If you could, your selflessness would paradoxically promote your cause quite well. Dare to be an invisible supporter of others.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life, like jazz, often happens best in the spaces between the notes. What you do while waiting around — and you will be waiting around this afternoon — is more important than what you do while doing something.
LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22). When it’s suggested that your obstacles are selfimposed, you might bristle with anger. But you soon get over your initial defensiveness and break down your problem to see whether or not there’s really something you can do about it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What if we get to the pearly gates and are graded by our leisure-time activities? This is the perfect time to go deeper into your most frivolous interest. It’s more substantial to your well- being than you think.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re so agreeable, you’ll even agree to disagree. Your sophistication of self allows you to give your full attention to people whose opinions are dead wrong. The world needs more Libras.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The stars return you to school days. Be ready with the answer, even if it’s wrong. In the classroom of life, sometimes you are called on when your hand is raised, and sometimes you are called on when it’s not.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Doing a job the correct way and doing it your way might be two different things entirely. But if you show a lot of heart and your intention is pure, in time your way will catch on and become the norm.
CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19). Enjoy your instant rapport with leaders and powerful people — they certainly will. How others envy people like you who can talk freely and equally to people in various walks of life.
AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18). Where help is needed, pitch in — especially if it’s outside the boundaries of “ your job.” Showing that you’re not above doing what it takes to make the team run smoothly will earn you all the esteem you desire.
PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20). There’s a peaceful feeling basking in the sunshine of your mind. Phone calls cheer you and also fill you with curiosity. What do they want? Presume innocence, and you can have a good old time chatting away.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 5). The friendships you make this year paint many a colorful memory. Your heart is open for different kinds of love to drop in. Finances need attention through the end of the year. Once a solid plan is in place, you march toward a shining goal. You triumph over career blocks that held you in years past. Love signs are Taurus and Cancer.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I’m a Gemini widow. My birthday is June 17, 1948. My husband died five years ago. I just recently started to date. It seems like I’m too independent for the men I’m attracted to. I need a new breed of man! What sign is he?”
Beautiful Venus so near your sun means you emanate feminine charm and delightful style, which are extremely attractive to macho types. Sexy, yes; but ultimately, you discover they have trouble giving you the same right to freedom they demand for themselves. An Aquarian man you meet in the last week of January will embody the confidence you love and also be the progressive thinker you’re looking for.
“ I’m a Taurus senior ( I was born May 4, 1925). My independence is very important to me, and though I’m social, I prefer to live alone. Will I be healthy enough to do this?” You’re a strong-minded bull with a fondness for recreation, music and art. Health complaints by Taurus natives are often concerned with the neck and throat. Another potential trouble for Taurus is a love of pleasure, and sometimes, excessive food and drink. If you can control hedonistic impulses, you should be able to live independently for a very long time.
