DAILY HOROSCOPES
MOON ALERT: After 4: 30 a. m., we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The moon is in Aries. IF DEC. 8 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actor David Harewood ( 1965) shares your birthday today. You have a changeable nature. You can be docile or headstrong, but you are always generous and caring. You patiently and methodically pursue your goals once you decide upon them. In 2017, you approach a year of choice. Start to get a footing on what matters for you. Reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong in 2017. Happiness is having alternatives.
ARIES ( March 21- April 19): Today the moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over all the other signs. Admittedly, it also makes you more emotional than usual, something you have to be aware of before you sound off to someone. ( Oops!) Just so you know.
TAURUS ( April 20- May 20): Today you want to be more low- key than usual. You might prefer to work alone or behind the scenes, especially because many of you are focused on matters related to shared property, inheritances and such. Bosses and VIPs favor you now. ( Nice.)
GEMINI ( May 21- June 20): A friend will be supportive to you today. You will enjoy conversations with others, especially female contacts. In fact, this is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get their feedback, which could be helpful to you. Try it.
CANCER ( June 21- July 22): Personal details about your private life are public today for some reason. Bosses, parents and authority types seem to be in the picture. Just be aware of this in case you have to do some kind of damage control. Meanwhile, you are working hard now and getting a lot done.
LEO ( July 23- Aug. 22): Do something different today to satisfy your urge for adventure because you are restless and want to break free from your usual routine. Travel somewhere if you can. Perhaps visit a foreign restaurant? See new places and new faces? Learn something new!
VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Today is a good day to focus on details about shared property, the wealth and resources of your partner, inheritances, insurance and other redtape stuff. Just tidy up loose ends. Family and perhaps a parent are also a strong focus for you now.
LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22): Well, well. Today the moon is opposite your sign. This happens for two days every month, and it means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Be accommodating. Be polite and conciliatory. No biggie for a smooth- talking Libran like you.
SCORPIO ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21): You are focused on errands, business and getting stuff done today — no question. “Just the fact, Ma’am.” You might also be focused on your health or a pet. Take care of details. Free up your time to restore order to your chaotic home.
SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21): This is a strong time for you with the sun in your sign, and today is a playful, fun- loving day! Enjoy flirtations, social situations, sports events, the arts and fun activities with kids. You have lots of ideas you want to share with others. Chat people up today.
CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): You need to hide today. Ideally, you want to hunker down and cocoon at home so you can be private and enjoy yourself in familiar surroundings. Of course, most of you cannot do this today. ( Groan.) But you can aim for moments of solitude and privacy.
AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): This is a social time for you. Friends, groups and associations demand your time. Today you need to talk to siblings, neighbors and relatives about the daily details of life. People will listen to you because you are so smooth and charming with Venus in your sign.
PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20): Money, finances and shopping are on your mind today. In addition to which, you look good to bosses and VIPs. This means you might want to discuss your salary or how to make more money. You might also want to make a big purchase. Ka- ching!
