HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Having trouble letting go of old baggage? Don’t force it. Get out there and make a replacement memory for the one you’d rather forget.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Whatever you can do to make sure the basics are covered for you and yours will go a long way toward keeping the vibes positive at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): So what if you’re overly generous, silly or comfort-focused today? Get what you really, really want.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): When the work (or the relationship) seems draining, maybe it’s just because you haven’t found what’s in it for you yet. If you can’t find a payoff, consider making a change.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In your brain, you’re going head to head with someone and you’re really in no mood to back down.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Considering all the time and energy you’ve expended working on a certain knotty problem, it should come as no surprise when you get a sudden craving for freedom and distraction.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): This is an excellent moment to discus the delicate issue at hand.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is a whole host of people out there who like you, not to mention the ones who love you dearly.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Avoid making sweeping generalizations about yourself. Focus on one aspect at a time.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have a deep conversation that doesn’t include any profound words or particularly interesting thoughts. But it’s not small talk. Not at all.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Taking care of yourself should include more than the basics. Mental stimulation and fun are part of it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): When you hit a dip in your mood, remember: Appreciating others is the quick route to self-esteem.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 29): You’ll make your mark this year, and it will be a creative expression of who you are in a most practical form. Many will use and love what you produce. Clarity of vision is your gift in the early year. April and May bring romantic adventure. You’ll fight for the oppressed and win in June. Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 28, 3, 38 and 40.
