HOROSCOPE

Friday, Dec. 28, 2012 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You could find yourself on both the giving and receiving end of a surprise. On some level, you might feel as if you must answer to someone; on the other hand, you also recognize your own needs. A partner might be difficult when it comes to financial matters. Tonight: Flex. Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep conversations moving, especially if you think there is an underlying problem. Yes, you eventually will have to deal with this issue, but the timing is off right now. Realize that many people are off-kilter.

Tonight: Hang out with a loved one. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Know what is going on behind the scenes. You might find that you’re not ready to deal with all of the consequences involved with a partnership and/ or a money matter. Your lack of energy very well could have colored your thinking. Tonight: Do what feels right. Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The Full Moon points to you. As a result, you might be reactive and cause yourself a problem. You’ll try to take command of your life, but there are so many unpredictable elements that it might not work out. Know that you can adjust to the situation. Tonight: Do your thing. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Much is going on be- hind the scenes. Acting on what you think could be difficult at best. Gather information, but avoid making a judgment for about a week, if possible. Today’s events will have a different appearance at that point. Tonight: Not to be found. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Keep your eye on the prize. Do not get distracted by all the hoopla, unexpected events and emotional statements from others. This, too, will pass, given a little time and caring. If a conversation feels stilted, you can be sure that you’re not getting all the facts. Tonight: Join friends. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pressure builds. On some level, you could feel out of sync as you look at the panorama of your life. You will become the ringmaster if you just relax and allow others to help out. Do not make any commitments of your time or money for a while. Tonight: TGIF. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might want to deal with a situation differently. How you handle a personal matter could change once some of the intensity of the moment dies down. You could be overserious or too demanding. Detach for a better perspective.

Tonight: Where there is music. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A creative endeavor takes an unusual turn. A partner could be reactive, especially with finances. You could be making matters worse. Address a low-level depression, and understand that you can handle this problem.

Tonight: Answer any questions that are posed. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The Full Moon affects you socially and emotionally. You might wonder what is going on with an important person in your life. If you are having difficulty explaining this person’s behavior, don’t get uptight. He or she might not be able to, either.

Tonight: Go along with the program. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be past the point of no return when dealing with an associate. You also might give this person an unexpected jolt. Though at first you might feel guilty about it, try to view your words as a wake-up call.

Tonight: Get some muchneeded R and R. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel pushed beyond your limit. Rather than express your exasperation, hold back and do something for yourself. Friends also could be unusually demanding. Your finances will take a strange twist if you are not careful. Doublecheck your change. Tonight: Only what you want.
