A baby born today has a Sun in Sagittarius and a Moon in Cancer. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012: This year you have the ability to expand your inner circle, and you’ll get to know your friends even better. This closeness could result in you meeting someone significant; however, be aware that your introduction might take place through a quarrel. If you are attached, you will work on trying not to argue about money. Perhaps having separate checking accounts would help; it is worth a try. CANCER can be very caring and vulnerable. Be careful, as he or she could develop a hard shell.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES ( March 21- April 19) You might not respond well to a power play, but that’s not surprising. Tension could build, even among family and friends. You are likely to need a way to relieve stress. Try some exercise. Know that others might prefer some other type of release. Tonight: Make your world lively.

TAURUS ( April 20- May 20) Your ability to see through someone’s behavior makes all the difference in how you relate to this person. Perhaps, at the right moment, you might choose to explain this. It is likely that this individual doesn’t have that kind of insight into his or her behavior. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

GEMINI ( May 21- June 20) Treat someone to dinner or a movie earlier in the day. For whatever reason, this person is feeling less than OK. Your caring makes all the difference and helps this person calm down. See what a little nurturing can do? Tonight: Your treat.

CANCER ( June 21- July 22) You might be taken aback by how difficult certain people are. Consider going off on your own until you find friends who are more easygoing. If you go shopping, you might have more than one reason to release some anger. Tonight: All smiles. Others will feel better soon.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) Others are not looking at life the same way you are. You are about living well; they are about being right — at least for today. And they are combative, too. Go off and do something you love until the situation calms down, and you will be better off. Tonight: Remain unavailable.

VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22) Focus on a friendship, and try to avoid any heavy conflicts. Others can get stuck on expressing their different points of view. Through your gentleness, you have the ability to warm the hearts of loved ones. Look the other way if you encounter a tantrum. Tonight: Off with a jovial pal.

LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 22) You want to claim your power, and others let you know that your attitude is unacceptable. You might get into a conflict, or you could choose to ignore the situation. If a loved one doesn’t want to do something you want to do, try to find a different mutually agreeable activity. Tonight: In the limelight.

SCORPIO ( Oct. 23- Nov. 21)

Speak your mind, and others will listen. Count on repeating the conversation at a later date. Unknowingly, you could be overbearing in how you express yourself right now. On the other hand, it could just be that others are being very sensitive. Tonight: Your smile is a winner.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21) A loved one makes certain requests. Ask yourself if you can respond positively. Do try; otherwise, you could be arguing for quite a while. At least try to postpone your response until later. Someone you meet today could be very different from what you think. Tonight: Stay calm.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19) Defer to others, if possible. You might disagree about certain issues, so be careful. Expressing your feelings at this point could cause a control game to erupt. The less said the better. Save a discussion for a different day. Tonight: Sorting through invitations.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Get into a project and allow others to do their thing. Maintain a caring and neutral stance, as people easily could become triggered and very disagreeable. Listen to news from an older friend or a family member. Accept this person’s offer. Tonight: Know that you don’t need to do anything.

PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20) While others moan and groan, you work to find solutions. Though many of your friends might not hear your ideas, some will. Allow more caring to flow between you and a loved one. Join this person and share a favorite pastime together. Tonight: Let the good times roll.
