HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018: This year you open doors, let go of unneeded limitations and take risks more often.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Unexpected developments could point to a different response. Someone who considers him- or herself to be more important than you could become quite controlling. Be creative and optimistic. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You could have a lot of ground to cover. You won’t hesitate to let others know when you have had enough. You might come off as erratic to some, but to the right person, you will be seen as exciting. Tonight: Note what is not being said.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might discover that a friend is not as stable as you previously had thought. Meanwhile, an important person in your life could let you know how much you are appreciated. Tonight: Have an important discussion with a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You wouldn’t be as in demand as you are if you did not excel in a certain area. You might want to spend more time at home. If a loved one becomes controlling, know that it is just reflecting his or her insecurity. Tonight: Happy at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have a way of drawing people to you and identifying with them. This sense of understanding creates more give-and-take. A co-worker who is fun to work with will add to the moment. Make and return calls. Tonight: Your treat.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your instincts will be right-on with a money matter. Your creativity when taking risks might work well on paper, but it won’t play out the way you would like it to. You could have a hard time understanding why this is. Tonight: Indulge a friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You could see that a situation seems to be taking on a new twist. Ask questions and listen well to the answer. What you think is going on and what is actually happening might be two different things. Tonight: Go for what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will want to keep your own counsel. A hunch you have about someone else could pay off. You might be ready to add depth to this relationship. Try not to insert any biased judgments into the discussion. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might be in the mood to do some shopping, especially for a very special loved one. What you choose could delight this person to no end. Don’t forget about a dear friend or relative at a distance. Tonight: Where your friends are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have an endearing quality about you that draws many people toward you. You might decide to become even more verbal in the next few weeks. Choose your words with your customary precision. Tonight: Out and about.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are prone to do research rather than take anyone’s advice. You trust hard facts more than opinions. A lovable friend or associate might add a lot of laughter and fun when he or she appears. Tonight: Choose your company with care.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You could see a matter much differently from how another party sees it. Understand that you might need to discuss alternative ways of handling problems of this nature in the future. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.
