HOROSCOPE

Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012 Aries (March 21-April 19)

Use the morning for an important talk or meeting. By midafternoon, you could be conflicted or irritated about a situation. Your mood flows into other dealings. Take your time and process the irritation first, then deal with others. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Taking a hard look at recent expenditures might be more necessary than you think. Do not let someone’s opinion trigger an argument -- just let it go. You know what you want. Do not stand on ceremony. Pick up the phone and call a friend.

Tonight: Secure New Year’s plans. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are full of energy and could be difficult to find, according to more than a few people. It seems as if you flee the scene with an adeptness and quickness that surprises many. Make plans, if you can, for a short trip with some good friends. Tonight: Treat yourself. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Make it OK to move slowly in the morning. Accept and understand what you have been through as of late. Consider your options in the morning, and act in the later part of the afternoon. At the right moment, you will feel alert.

Tonight: The world is your oyster. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Use the morning to the max when dealing with others. People will tend to be more responsive then. You actually might decide to keep to yourself in the afternoon. Avoid an argument with a favorite person. Patching this up could be difficult. Tonight: All smiles. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Rethink a decision more carefully. Take your time. In the afternoon, test out your conclusion. You might be causing yourself a problem if you move ahead blindly. Look to friends and loved ones for their advice and feedback.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your mind drifts to matters beyond the here-andnow. What will it take to anchor you? A boss or key associate needs your time and attention later in the day. Do whatever you need to do in order to stay present.

Tonight: Once you let go of the day’s issues, the night becomes fun. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Deal with someone or several different people on a one-on-one level. Rethink a personal matter more carefully. Laughter surrounds you later in the day when you relax. Once you detach, you’ll see humor in what was once difficult.

Tonight: Try a new pastime. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Open up in the morn- ing. A discussion could be quite animated with hostility or aggressiveness. You might not be up for an argument, but you will need to establish boundaries regardless. In the afternoon, clear the air.

Tonight: Chat over dinner. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Tonight: Be open to a suggestion. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might surprise yourself with the feisty words that come out of your mouth. You have swallowed a lot of anger lately. Perhaps the time has come to process these feelings. Everyone involved would prefer a discussion rather than sarcastic jabs.

Tonight: The unexpected occurs. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
