YOUR HOROSCOPE
BIRTHDAY GUY: Actor Xander Berkeley was born in Brooklyn, New York, on this day in 1955. This birthday guy’s prolific film resume includes memorable roles in such movies as “Taken,” “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” and “Sid and Nancy.” He costarred as Percy on the series “Nikita” and George Mason on “24,” as well as appearing in recurring roles on “The Mentalist,” “Being Human” and “CSI.” Berkeley has been married to actress Sarah Clarke since 2002 and the couple has two children.
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr. 19): An urge to take a chance with money could push you into a less-than-profitable business situation. Your gift giving intuitions are in fine fettle, but this is not a good day to sign a business contract.
TAURUS (Apr. 20 - May 20): More isn’t necessarily better. Extravagance and a desire to have flashy possessions or give showy gifts can lead you to make a mistake. Don’t go overboard when dealing with business contacts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may be consumed by an ambition to make your home run like a well-oiled machine. Quit trying to be all things to all people and discover that you can be everything to at least one special someone.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may begin to understand that success is not about what you look like or what you own but about the person you’ve become. Be proud that you have the strength to put the past behind you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You might be feeling a little bit deprived and envious of others who seem to “have it all.” It seems as though whenever there’s plenty of leisure time there isn’t enough money and vice versa.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your nose in a book instead of someone else’s business. You might be tempted to spend time reaching your ambitions, but you’ll derive more satisfaction and benefit from learning exercises.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22.): Be as gener- ous and forgiving as possible when face to face with human frailties. The desire to have everything as perfect as possible can put you in a situation that complicates your financial status.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make the best of it. Just because you took a road you didn’t plan to take doesn’t mean it was the wrong one. There may actually be benefit if you’re prevented from following through on some plans.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Making good sound decisions helps you have a satisfying life. Don’t try to keep up with the latest trends or try to compete with the Joneses. Live your own life, not the life other people live.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Working at cross purposes may be the only work that gets done. Take your time and get ready for new projects or tasks. Hold off on starting anything new, as partners may be ill-prepared.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When you’re willing to learn, you’ll find a way to earn. You may not realize how much an educational experience will prepare you to get closer to where you want to end up.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): Don’t get so distracted by career ambitions that you neglect something essential on a personal level. Your creativity is in high gear, so don’t ignore any opportunity to express it.
IF DECEMBER 16 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The next six to eight weeks can be highly productive if you avoid mistaking wishful thinking for fact. Remain cautious about taking on new commitments or falling head over heels in love. In February, overconfidence can cause problems, especially if you promise more than you can deliver or become engrossed in something that’s a waste of time. The stars improve by leaps and bounds in March and April, when your shrewdness and aptitude for financial matters hits a high point. That is a great time to start a new job or sign important contracts.
