ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You sense the potential of a slower day, yet you know how much you need to complete before the holidays. If you feel inspired, head out. You cop a devil-maycare attitude when out. Watch your spending.

This week: End the spending on presents; emphasize communication.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ You wake up rejuvenated and ready to take on any chore, errand or nothing at all. Your unusual flexibility does not go unnoticed by a loved one who might nudge you in a chosen direction. Indulge this person and relax while you can.

This week: Not everything can be handled by a gift.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

★★★★ One-on-one relating draws you in closely, but not for long. Many friends and calls could bombard your day and plans. Hook up with that special person and together tackle a fun holiday errand.

This week: You get energized midweek and can barely be stopped.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your emotional nature draws many friends. Often, they need some help understanding their own feelings. Today you make it clear — you have special errands to do, but they are welcome to join you.

This week: Slow down midweek. Catch up on certain important work or details.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Take charge and work with the moment. Others eye what you are doing and demonstrate an interest. What you take on might be surprising to some people, but you will enjoy yourself.

This week: Take a stand. Know what you want. Network starting on Tuesday.

VIRGO

★★★★★ Reach out for a loved one at a distance. You also might want to send cards to those who are not in your immediate vicinity. You could be surprised at some news you hear from someone.

This week: Others appreciate you assuming more responsibility than normal.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★★ One-onone relating goes down a different, more poignant trail than you intended. Though conversations and openness can only please you, be wary of saying too much too soon.

This week: An important talk points to a change in how you look at a particular situation.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ The less said, the better right now — at least by you. Work on the art of listening to others. In any case, sometime, somewhere during the day, you could be stunned by what another person says or does.

This week: Defer to others. See what they have to share and suggest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You might dream of a slow, easy pace. Actually, you could come close to just that as long as you do not feel obsessive about some aspect of your life. If need be, go over your holiday budget and make adjustments.

This week: Use midweek for matters involving interacting heavily with others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★★ Zero in on a special child or person in your life. You might want to take him or her to a holiday happening. You discover a lot of new facets to this person. You might be taken aback by this person’s whimsical nature, which was unknown to you up until now.

This week: Your creativity delights a child or loved one. Watch this person try to express his or her own innate gifts.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ You opt to stay close to home, perhaps get a snooze or two and hang a string of lights here or there. You might be dedicated to this pace, but the unexpected could still knock on your door.

This week: Emphasize your domestic life. Indulge a special person in your life.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ You speak your mind and others respond. At some point during the day, a comment could leave you or the other party speechless. You could be in a crowd of shoppers or in another social situation when this moment occurs.

This week: Pick up the phone Monday, and do not stand on ceremony with a loved one.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year, you opt to live at a slower pace and enjoy your close friends and loved ones. Even if you choose stability, do not be surprised by an unanticipated event. If single, you could meet someone who knocks your socks off. Get to know this person well before deciding anything. If attached, the two of you suddenly go for a change in lifestyle. You become a firm believer in the variety of life! TAURUS might seem steady and stable, but they could be the source of a tsunami at any given moment.
