horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be doing your best to contain your energy, but your enthusiasm overshadows your common sense. Oddly enough, there is not one particular thing fueling your excitement; it's the combination of so many options that brings a smile to your face.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You like it when there are alternatives on the menu, but it can be overwhelming when there are too many choices. You want to narrow your field of options, but don't know where to start today. It may be helpful to visualize what your ideal situation might be in a year. Don't worry about the details yet since you can fill them in later.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are thrilled now that you are in the proud possession of a cosmic ticket to ride. The only problem is you have a pair of destinations in mind and they are in opposite directions from one another. However, the Moon's shift into dualistic Gemini puts you in familiar territory where you are comfortable holding two positions at once.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There is a lot of mental activity cooking behind your bright eyes, but you won't likely share many of your thoughts today. People around you appear pleasant, but it seems as if they are containing their emotions and expect you to do the same.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might be revving up for a night of merrymaking and mischief, getting yourself into the mood to celebrate with friends. However, you can't shake off a feeling of concern that makes you wonder if you really want to be with lots of people now, or if this is the year to lay low.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The end of the calendar year is an artificial deadline, but there still may be plenty of projects at home that you would like to finish. Although your approach is very methodical, people might think that you are scattering your energy and wasting your time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might set your hopes on embarking on an adventure today, either with others or on your own. However, the idea of expending energy by going somewhere sounds less appealing as the time to leave the house approaches. Maybe the weather is a showstopper, or perhaps you just feel lazy and crave some cozy downtime.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your schedule seems to have filled up today with a series of commitments. It may have started with something special you wanted to do, but then you added one activity after another, and in the process entangled your agenda with those of others. You might be annoyed at yourself for trying to get too much done at once, but now it's too late to back out because you don't want to let anyone down.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Often, you are the one who is running around in a flurry of activity as others try to keep up with your ambitious pace. However, the tables are turned today and its hard for you to understand why everyone else seems to be moving so fast while you are content staying put. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Normally, there's something very reassuring about approaching the end of the year. Perhaps its just that you Capricorns are particularly fond of structure and the fundamental measurement of time is something that can't be denied.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Perhaps you are trying to make up for lost time, but your energy has shifted from wanting to be alone to saying yes to every invitation you receive. In the final analysis you still could go either way, but its healthier to be in the company of others now instead of withdrawing from the social scene.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar 20): Your friends and family are a big part of your life and you happily anticipate spending quality time with them this weekend. You prefer to engage in meaningful dialogue with those closest to you rather than losing yourself in large crowds of people.
