Sunday, Dec. 9, 2018 Aries (March 21-April 19)

What is great about you is the way in which you accept and execute responsibility. Suddenly, you might find yourself in charge of a holiday gathering or event. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You could be unaware of how demanding you are. You also might be somewhat distant. Do not be surprised if a loved one tries to provoke an argument in order to encourage you to focus on him or her. Tonight: Where your mind can drift.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Whether you are wrapping presents with someone, watching a holiday movie or even just enjoying a glass of eggnog, you radiate contentment. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You could be close to your limit with handling holiday errands. Distract yourself for the day and grab your favorite person. Indulge in a non-holiday activity. Once more, you will feel renewed. Tonight: Did you hang the mistletoe?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Dive into the day with the intention of clearing out as much as you possibly can. Your pace could be unusually hectic, leaving you with little time to just gaze at holiday decorations. Tonight: Relax at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could be trying to lift someone’s spirits, but be careful, as you might drain yourself in the process. Take better care of yourself. Go off and take a brisk walk with the dog or go skating. Tonight: Let the other party make the first move.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When someone encourages you to try something totally new, your answer easily could be “no.” Your routine and habits stabilize you, but you also love adventure. Go for it. Tonight: Order in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your intensity melts others’ resistance quickly. The question remains: Do you want to charm them into being more responsive? You understand that to feel good, you sometimes need to feel bad. Tonight: Off with a loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be aware of your discipline when it comes to indulgences. You could discover that making something a habit might take some time. As long as you are willing to go overboard, go for it. Tonight: No regrets.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Wherever you are, others wish they were too. You seem to let go of the seriousness you are usually associated with. Confusion surrounds your plans or a conversation. Tonight: Out on the town.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Vanish for a day. Do not be findable. With the holidays approaching, you have a built-in excuse. You might need some downtime alone or with one special person. Tonight: Mystery becomes you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A particular group of friends is serious-minded, but they are fun to be with. Get together with this circle and toss yourself into what is happening. Tonight: Forget self-discipline, and go for the moment.
