Horoscope

By Jacqueline Bigar

Today’s birthday (Friday, Dec. 5, 2014) This year you seem to go back and forth a lot with weighing the pros and con of certain situations, decisions and actions. You are passionate about your opinions; therefore, detachment takes some skill. If you are single, you might not believe the choices you have available to you. The person you choose could be quite different from who you’re used to dating. If you are attached, you might not always admit to being able to identify with your significant other, but you do. Use this skill to bond this relationship even more closely.

Aries (March 21-April 19) You’ll say what is on your mind, and others will give you a quick response. Confusion could be the outcome if they haven’t thought through their responses. Be spontaneous and openminded. You might be surprised by how everything works out. Tonight: Chat with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might be swallowing some anger over a personal issue. Don’t use shopping as an outlet, because doing so would end in regret. You also are likely to change your mind about your choices, so be sure to keep your receipts. Tonight: Pay bills, then decide what you can afford.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) After a few difficult days, you might feel as if you finally are back in the swing of things with your daily routine. A friend or loved one could shock you with his or her news. Absorb what you are hearing, but don’t take his or her words as being written in stone. Tonight: TGIF!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You have accomplished a lot this week, and you could feel yourself slowing down. A problem with a loved one could result in his or her creating some distance between you. Express your gratitude if he or she decides to open up and share with you. Tonight: Indulge yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You might feel pushed by an associate, but understand that a cold shoulder doesn’t explain where you are coming from. A flirtation also could cause you a problem. Do your best not to mix business with pleasure. Tonight: Do what you want— just don’t be alone.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) 666 Clearly an interaction with someone you respect could put you on edge; you might not know why until you speak with a loved one about it. Indulge this person, as he or she is consistently there for you. Make time for a spontaneous get-together. Tonight: A force to behold.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Honor a change of pace. You can intellectualize to your heart’s content yet still have plenty of time for a fun conversation. The combination will help you relax as your weekend begins. A loved one could be unpredictable. Strap on your seat belt. Tonight: Take off!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) 666 Try not to color someone else’s day as somber; projecting your mood onto others can cause a lot of problems. Fortunately, you will be able to turn this attitude around. Anger could build on the homefront, but you will know what to do. Tonight: Your home is your castle. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might want to see what is happening with some associates before you decide that a project isn’t likely to work out. Get the full story, and then make a decision. Avoid actively communicating while doing anything that requires your attention. Tonight: Remain anchored.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will want to have a long-overdue discussion with a co-worker whom you see almost daily. You might even be exercise buddies! You’ll discover how much you have in common, and you’ll wish you had more time together. Why not make plans? Tonight: Surprises surround you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be more forthright with a loved one. Try to be gentle in your choice of words and attitude; otherwise, you could come across as being harsh. Understand what is happening within you. Perhaps you need to plan a vacation. Tonight: Let off some steam.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep your own counsel, if possible. You might be taken aback by what is going on behind the scenes. Touch base with a family member or a loved one to get more information. Curb an impulse to go spending for now. Tonight: Make it your treat. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult.
