HOROSCOPE
CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 19 A jolly “Ho, ho, ho!” will put an end to ho-hum routines. Don’t be afraid to wear your prize-winning ugly Christmas sweater or to show off the battery-operated twinkle-light ties and necklaces tonight.
AQUARIUS Jan 20-Feb 18 The sweetest dreams are made of this. Rather than rooftops, reindeer and sugarplums, an affectionate companion might make you think about love as you head off to dreamland tonight. You could bask in the warmth of another’s attention.
PISCES Feb 19-March 20 Don’t tarry or procrastinate; make merry while peace on earth reigns supreme. You may feel there’s a sort of magic in the air tonight. If you position yourself strategically under the mistletoe, you might get your heart’s desire tonight.
ARIES March 21-April 19 You can take pride in your ability to give generously. Your hard work deserves a reward, and during this season of giving, being able to give more than usual to loved ones rewards you with contentment.
TAURUS April 20-May 20 Your gingerbread men might not be uniform in size or cut from the same cookie cutter, but they will taste just fine. Your loved ones may be happier with a handmade item that is unique.
GEMINI May 21-June 20 Stuff some stockings or a turkey. “Stuff,” however, isn’t what the spirit of this season is all about. Giving and receiving gifts is a wonderful tradition, but having a family get-together could be even better.
CANCER June 21-July 22 The best way to genuinely enjoy the season of giving is to give something meaningful to someone else. Good advice comes in a variety of packages that don’t need to be placed under a tree.
LEO July 23-Aug 22 Stand out in a crowd by being a little different and someone will find you more attractive. If you are single, head off to a community event that puts you in contact with other singles.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22 Some of the best things come in the smallest packages. It won’t matter to you if a gift arrives wrapped in plain brown paper or tied up with a huge red ribbon. It is what’s inside that counts.
LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22 Bringing up financial arrangements or business deals might spoil some of the holiday magic. Put business on the back burner and just concentrate on spending time with — and truly enjoying the company of — the people you love.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21 Go ahead and indulge in guilty pleasures. You can forgive yourself for dietary lapses when surrounded by piles of good things to eat. It’s only polite to take a taste of everything that is on offer.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21 You may be long on graciousness and big-heartedness, but don’t think that you’re the only one. Your generous streak and jolly nature are on full display, yet you might be the recipient of an extravagant surprise, too.
If today is your birthday:
Your high energy and clear thinking will carry you safely through the holidays, but you might begin to experience emotional conflicts as the upcoming five to six weeks unfold. In January, temptations may appear, and you might want to embark on a wild-goose chase that could disrupt the even tenor of your life. Anything that seems too good to be true could cause disappointment, so you may want to steer clear of romantic entanglements or moneymaking intrigues. Wait until February, when your feet are planted more firmly on the ground, to make intelligent decisions about your finances or business. Late July and August is an excellent time for creative work and vacations, as well as the development of business plans, because your vivid imagination is paired with common sense. This is a time when you could ride high on a cloud of inspirational ideas or when your heart is filled with romantic notions.
