Your Stars today
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Deck the halls with boughs of holly and fa-la-lahs. Join in and sing along with the Christmas carols on the radio. No matter how noisy or out of tune you are, everyone will gladly accept your exuberance and enthusiasm.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
The stockings hung from the mantle might be made of microfiber. You can enjoy old traditions yet appreciate some new ones. Use diplomatic skills to deal with acquaintances and relatives who show up on the holidays.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20):
It’s the thought that counts. A utilitarian gift doesn’t mean that Scrooge replaced Santa. You can exchange a gift for the right size. It might be necessary to wake up someone who falls asleep after a holiday feast.
CANCER (June 21-July 22):
Having a wonderful time with family or friends won’t cost you a penny. It isn’t the end of the world if Santa forgot something under the tree. You know that it isn’t the material things that give lasting pleasure.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Being organized and efficient could pay delightful dividends. Those who share gather at your holiday table are certain to admire your efforts. You must have been good this year as your stocking is filled with what you wanted.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Your practical knowledge might add the magic touch that makes the holiday complete. You may be the person elected to read the directions or to put together a new toy. Find ways to create magic moments.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Pray for peace on earth. Holiday celebrations and nostalgia may bring you and that special someone closer, but also remind you of those less fortunate. Your thoughtfulness will make someone beam with pleasure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Follow your bliss. Stand under the mistletoe whenever you can. It won’t detract from your charisma if your hands get soiled putting together dinner or the parts of a present. Someone loves you just as you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
You might enjoy playing Santa Claus even if you don’t have a red suit. This is a day when giving is just as much fun as receiving. You are a little bit wiser than usual and able to overlook minor frictions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
You enlarge the fun when you take charge. Take stock of what is most essential to creating holiday happiness and get it all together. Act like jolly old St. Nick by sending all your personal elves on errands.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
You may have racked your brain for a perfect gift, but you’ll find that a warm smile full of love will make someone happier than extravagant presents. Romantic couples will bond more closely today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Jingle a few silver bells. This is one day of the year when you can play like a kid and just do what is fun. Encourage guests to take a walk, take a drive, or play games rather than being mere spectators on the sidelines.
