STAR TRACK

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Something could happen now that will help you understand that you need to make some important changes in your life-fortunately, not all in one day. Perhaps there is a need to break away from some of the old-fashioned ideas you are carrying from your past. You do long to try new projects and stretch your abilities. Your emotional nourishment comes from your friends, values and public involvement. Those around you will be appreciative of your understanding and sensitivity to their needs. This puts you in a win-win position to communicate concerning groups and society as well. If you find yourself invited to a party or festive gathering of some kind, you may be curious as to know why more weekends are not this pleasant.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Celebrate your triumphs and focus your energy on using your influence to inspire growth in yourself and in others. This is a great time to consolidate and organize your private affairs. If you are working, others may see you as the perfect candidate to have charge over some project that requires a conservative mind. This may not be the most advantageous time to make career or vocational decisions or to give rational advice to others. You may prefer to be more private and stay at home with your family or loved ones. If you do have, or attend, a get-together for some end-of-the-year celebration, it will be with close friends or family. Look for ways to make another person’s life easier now, toward the end of this year-perhaps a meal for the elderly.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You may find yourself marching to the beat of a different drummer today. Ambitious schemes and the pursuit of success and status take on a high priority in your life at this time. This could bring into focus the practical, the successful and the pragmatic-whatever it takes to get you ahead in the end. The meek may inherit the earth, but the shrewd will collect the rent. Wanting and needing to feel good about yourself and the way that you get things done could be instrumental in pushing you into more activities centered on diet, exercise and organizational habits. Your ambition will increase and you will take a more serious approach in taking better care of yourself. You encourage everyone in your household to make long- and short-term goals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are just where you need to be today. Professionally, you are pleased with your progress. Today you work to end or complete some personal project before the new budget you planned comes into effect. Your family, children or the things that you hold near and dear to your heart are of great value to you. Knowing that you are loved and appreciated and not taken for granted is the prevailing feeling. You enjoy admiration for the things you have accomplished. You, in turn, give that appreciation to those around you. Taking risks can bring big rewards. You are an entrepreneur at heart. In order for your efforts to gain recognition, it is essential that you allow your creative and intuitive nature to prevail. You enjoy life and so do all who follow you.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

A kind of romantic wistfulness characterizes your approach to life. This could mean the longing for a soul mate or a yearning to save the world. This could mean carrying a torch, as well. As your day unfolds, your good energy stays but your concentration is more toward accomplishing the chores set out before you. Higher education, publishing, broadcasting or advertising is a subject of interest at the gathering for lunch. You may be giving some serious thought about one or two of these subjects. This afternoon your friends find you most gracious. You seem to appreciate inspiring and spiritual ideas and you have the talent for presenting them to others as well. This would be a good time for you and your friends to have a horoscope forecast reading.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Fame, money and happiness are all possible in your lifetime. You will undoubtedly leave a lasting image. It requires an authority or a leader to help you organize grand-scale activities and to build cautiously for the future. Your tact, diplomacy and friendliness add to a positive business arrangement. You are the power behind the throne and bring the flies to the honey, so to speak. You are a perfectionist and have aristocratic tastes. Today, a friend asks you for money and you lend it, but not without some sort of paper that creates an agreed upon process of repayment. You expect to pay your debts and to have others live up to agreements and expectations. The way you handle this transaction is tactful, kind and appreciated as honest.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

Freedom, as well as anything unusual or different, is what you value most at this time. You may find a great deal of pleasure in getting away from the routine and doing something completely different for a change. If you find yourself at home today, you may create some time to vegetate and plan the future. You will find phone conversations the order of the afternoon and you may want to offer some options to your loved ones tonight about entertainment on new year’s eve. You find yourself understanding those around you and perhaps enjoying a special time with someone you love this evening. A bicycle ride or walk after dinner will give you and a loved one time to communicate. Getting fit and feeling well is in the future for this coming year.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

Although this is a busy day, you still find time to do some personal correspondence during the day-perhaps only one or two pieces of mail, but important. Being well thought of is important to you and you want others to feel just as important so expressions of gratefulness are important for you to articulate at this time. You might decide to continue this expression of appreciation throughout the rest of the week. You enjoy getting out-of-doors for a bit of sunshine today. Things that are dear to your heart, as well as loved ones and other people, are emphasized now. Getting things taken care of in an orderly way and establishing some sort of an organized system could keep you very busy at this time. Communications continue to improve.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

Bigger and better is the theme when it comes to creativity, romance and self-expression. This is a time when taking chances in these areas of your life often pays off beyond your wildest imagination. This is a splendid time to plan, read and research or just relax and enjoy these last few days of the year. Your emotions in particular, or the feelings of those around you, could be very clear. Others should find it easy to understand how you feel and will be empathetic to your needs at this time. You could find people will often appreciate your ability to take the lead in difficult situations. One thing that is noticed about you is that if you do not know an answer, you will search to find it. Young people bring laughter your way this evening.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Wanting and needing to feel included in group situations may spur you into accomplishing your chores quickly this morning. A project to get you better organized gets your attention part of the morning; a sense of ambition and practicality takes hold. You work hard and you enthusiastically enjoy your time away from work. A new neighbor may have your attention part of the day and this may include similar likes and fun interactions with each other. You should have no problem in appreciating and valuing your own life situation at this time. You feel especially goodhearted towards a friend or loved one this afternoon and may be wonderfully surprised to also find several additional people want to help you celebrate your special day.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Mentally, you are very perceptive, with sharp ideas and clear thoughts. It should be an excellent time to make decisions and to take care of any mental task. Great practical thoughts and ideas will be yours today. The ability to communicate with difficult people or the ability to describe what you see is a definite asset today. It may come as a big surprise for you to receive some extra support or recognition, perhaps in relation to your many talents. Some kind of little boost will definitely be yours. You should be feeling that those around you are in touch and in harmony with you at this time. You will not want for support, as support will be there for you when you need it. Make some calls for getting together with your friends on new year’s eve.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

You could be feeling the need to care for other people or to have them care for you. This could mean you may have overextended your energies this last week and are just now feeling the stress. Exercise and movement keeps the energy flowing and positive. Perhaps a friend would like to join you in a brisk walk. Enjoy your own, personal quiet time this afternoon by doing a bit of writing on the accomplishments of this year and what they have meant to you. Getting your message across to others is at a high while you are at home but you could become pushy-readjust. Your timing, however, should be as good as it can get; those around you should find you most natural and vibrant. Soon it will be

time to celebrate a new year-are you ready?
