HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar

Today’s Birthday (Dec. 10). This year you open up to many new ideas. AQUARIUS can talk you into nearly anything,

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You express your ideas. If one of these ideas takes off, you will need to take the lead. You might have mixed feelings about committing to any additional responsibilities. Tonight: Make time for a special friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your gift of being able to look at the big picture marks your work. You clearly want to go off on your own. After a morning of excellent communication and research, you decide to surrender to this urge. Tonight: Have a good time. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Those around you have confidence in you and your follow-through. You do best in one-on-one conversations. Later in the day, kick back and review a certain decision. Tonight: You are capable of nearly anything.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your energy might be focused on someone else. You’ll want to shift focus to your needs. Get as many of your gifts in the mail as you possibly can. Tonight: Let a close friend know what is on your mind. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You will be on top of your game for the next few days. You need as much rest as possible. Greet some quiet moments as great times to write out cards or do whatever knocks your socks off. Remain sensitive to alternatives. Tonight: Lie low. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’ll want to be more involved in a group project. You seem to have been holding in your anger for a while. You easily could be triggered. At a certain point, you can’t exercise away hostility. Tonight: Where the crowds are. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Make it OK for someone else to take center stage. You have a lot on your plate, especially with a situation that surrounds a child. Stay centered on your goals, even if you don’t feel they are possible right now. Tonight: Till the wee hours. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep reaching out for more. Detach from immediate problems and see if you can handle them with a different approach. Try to imagine what it would be like to be the other parties in the situation. Tonight: Follow the music. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You ask for what you want, and you are likely to get just that. You might be too focused on a certain outcome and inadvertently keep pushing. Finances are involved. Tonight: Get together with a fun friend. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You tend to acknowledge your choices, but rarely seem to honor them. Reach out to someone who is instrumental to your personal life. You might want to buy this person a card or a token of affection. Tonight: Head home early. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be on top of your game, and you’ll use that energy for work and fun. Communication could crack open a door for you to get a glimpse of how someone views life. Tonight: The only sin you can commit is to be alone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Because of a meeting or a discussion with several friends, you could be tempted to head in a different direction. Your sense of limitation sometimes holds you back. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

Stars indicate the type of day you’ll have: five stars, dynamic; one, difficult.
