Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018:

This year is exciting and encourages communication to flourish. Although some of the people in your life might seem controlling, the majority appear to be easygoing and fun. If you are single, you could meet someone of significance during the next year. How the relationship begins might not be indicative of where it will end up. If you are attached, you and your partner sometimes do not see eye to eye; however, in general, the two of you tend to find a midpoint of agreement. Sagittarius often costs you more than you might like to spend.

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)

★★★★ Look at an issue that could have created fireworks. Others appreciate your passion, as long as it is not directed at them. A reversal on your part could shake up the status quo. Remember, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ You might be taken aback by everything that is going on around you. Experience your feelings rather than act on them; otherwise, you might just be adding fuel to the fire. Once you reach a realization, a conversation becomes far more plausible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ Honour a change involving a friend. You can’t take back words you’ve said. Though you could have a strong reaction, try discussing your feelings without inflaming a situation. Working as a group proves far more effective than being independent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ Take a stand, move forward and handle a problem. Your sensitivity mixes well with your practical nature. Together, these assets will help you wade through muddy waters and come out sparkling clean. Know that you have what it takes, and trust yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★★ Read between the lines as you walk into a situation where people have strong opinions. Understand the underlying issue. Help others see what they have in common, as opposed to what is different. Communication allows greater give-and-take.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ A partner could be somewhat difficult. You might have a strong reaction as a result. Resist going off on a spending spree while in this mood. A discussion is necessary. You understand the importance of timing; just wait.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Defer to others. You could have a difficult time maintaining your authority. Walk in the other direction, and refuse to be a part of this situation. The other parties might be floored, but they will look at their actions as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Listen to what is being offered, even if you don’t like what you hear at first. Pace yourself and accomplish what you must before following someone’s chosen path. You have the drive to get a lot done. Stay focused.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ Your playfulness might not be in tune with others’ moods. Someone you care about could be on the warpath. This person’s actions and words might surprise you. Be a good listener, and look for solutions. Your willingness to help will come through.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Stay centred, and know where you are coming from. Avoid testing out ideas on others right now. An unexpected insight tumbles into your lap and forces you to regroup. You can’t avoid a personal matter and/or an issue involving real estate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You are coming from a good place, but suddenly you might find yourself feeling angry. Focus on how you can change the outcome of the situation. Do not rely on the tried and true. Have an important discussion when you feel more settled.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ Be aware of your spending. No matter what you do, you seem to make choices that could cause a problem. Perhaps you need more information and feedback, as you have yet to see a clear path. You will be given time and openness.
