HOROSCOPE

Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012 Aries (March 21-April 19)

Be careful with all of your enthusiasm and energy. If you become frustrated, you quickly could find yourself in a disagreement. You really don’t want to go there. Pull back, even if a partner is giving you the cold shoulder.

Tonight: Be willing to tame your wild spirit. Taurus

(April 20-May 20) You might feel as though you have a chain around your ankle. Others are either too demanding or hot under the collar. You can’t seem to stay away from certain ill-tempered people in your life. Detach, and you might be amused rather than upset. Tonight: Homeward bound.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Have a long-overdue chat with a neighbor. Once you start sharing, a difficult situation could turn out to be nothing more than a funny misunderstanding. Do not let a comment get blown out of proportion and be construed into something other than what you think. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Curb a possessive streak, or you actually might push away the very person you want to please. Remember the individuality of this person. Honor who you are while working on your flaws, and you will see better results. A loved one could be tired.

Tonight: Ever playful. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You beam, and others notice. If you find a close loved one to be argumentative, ask yourself if this person could feel threatened by all the attention you’re receiving. An opportunity blows in from an unexpected source. Tonight: Do your thing.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Much goes on behind the scenes. You might not be sure what is happening. Be aware that your reaction could be offkilter if you do not have all the facts. A conversation might be difficult to pursue at this point.

Tonight: Get plenty of R and R.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can’t turn down the invitations heading your way. You like being in demand. The unexpected occurs with someone who has been a stable friend. If you take a moment to stop and assess the situation, you’ll see that this person is changing right in front of you. Tonight: Where the party is.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You must first deal with a difficult associate before you can free yourself up. Don’t make plans; instead, be spontaneous. Realize that you often are too structured for your own good. Lighten up and relax. Tonight: In the limelight.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Make a call to a special someone early rather than get caught up in the madness of New Year’s. Consider invit- ing this person to join you for the holiday. Would that brighten your mood? You have been unusually hard on yourself lately.

Tonight: Opt for something different.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A key person in your life could animate your day. Just let this person in. Avoid an argument about money and expenditures. Understand that you simply have different points of view. This discussion is not worth trying to win.

Tonight: Add more romance to your life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Maintain an even pace, despite some disruptions. You might not be able to curb your temper if you feel like you’re being pushed too far. An older relative could be emotionally unavailable. Follow someone else’s lead.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Get involved in a hobby or favorite pastime. A source of relaxation such as this could be very worthwhile, especially as you tend to take on others’ problems. Getting information out of someone at a distance could be difficult at best. Tonight: Make it early.
