LOVE AND THE STARS

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Someone close to you might be cranky. Let it go. You will see some discussion started by this person to clear the air. You could be amused by his or her approach. Most people will enjoy being doted upon. Christmas dinner will be especially well-received. Tonight: Full of energy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Try to maintain a steady, even pace, as you know how much you need to do. An unexpected guest or development could present a quandary. You might not be sure which way to go. Observe, and you will figure it out sooner rather than later. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Be more forthright with a child, roommate or loved one in the morning. You could be much more in tune with this person’s energy than he or she is. The excitement of the moment could be somewhat overwhelming. Stay levelheaded. Tonight: Love the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will be where you are happiest — at home, enjoying the moment. You might wonder about a situation involving a close friend or loved one. Be careful, as you tend to expend a lot of energy and could be particularly accident-prone. Tonight: Happiest at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your words and actions mean a lot to loved ones. In fact, they might even be more significant than your gifts. An unexpected call from someone at a distance could surprise you. Consider what you want to do, and follow through quickly. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could feel way below your normal level of activity. You have been so busy making sure that everything is done, you probably are very exhausted. The relief of everything being over might encourage you to relax and squeeze in a cat nap. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be enchanted by a child’s excitement about what is going to happen next. Later in the day, you’ll want to seek out a favorite spot. Between Christmas dinner and getting together with friends, you will have no complaints. Tonight: Consider an early bedtime.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’ll feel the need to take care of those in your immediate surroundings. A surprise visit or gift could lift the mood of the day and solidify the moment. A private discussion, possibly on the phone, does need to be kept a secret. Tonight: Add some mischief to the moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might want to turn a situation around quickly. If you or the other party involved can stay away from the materialistic part of the issue, you’ll be able to transform the situation. Someone could help you ease up a bit. Make time for you. Tonight: Asleep at the drop of a hat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do something just for you this morning. You might be more uptight than you realize. You could discover that someone has picked the perfect gift for you. You love the holiday festivities, and you are likely to go overboard. Tonight: Share a favorite piece of music.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could feel as if you’re running around in all directions. Somehow, this holiday season has unusual significance this year. You might want to defer to others if you are involved in making dinner and cleaning up. Tonight: Enjoy the moment with loved ones.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You could be exhausted by all of the morning calls and/or hectic activity. Smile through a problem, and open up to a delightful day that happens only once a year. Get into the mood of the holiday, and you will connect with others. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.
