Horoscope

Today’s birthday (Monday, Dec. 26, 2016) This year your poise and sense of self emerge and convince others that you know what you are doing, even when you really don’t! You often choose not to reveal your feelings. Emotional and professional success is likely. If you are single, a friendship could play a substantial role in you changing your status. Look to fall 2017 for a special person to walk into your life. If you are attached, the two of you need much more time alone together than in the recent past. These periods kindle and fuel your relationship. Sagittarius sometimes is difficult for you to tolerate. Aries (March 21-April 19) 6666 Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about.

Tonight: Your instincts might not be the best. Taurus (April 20-May 20) 66666 Close relating takes you down a new path. You could become anxious, as the fear of the unknown is strong right now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 666 You could feel unusually tense when dealing with family. Unexpected events could be the cause of some of the stress.
