Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Sunday, Dec. 9. This year you might be working through some issues involving self-discipline and organization. Understand that you can’t help but lag at times. If you are single, someone you care about could find you to be a little crazy as you attempt to work through these issues. Someone you choose to be with now might not be the person you want to be with a year from now. If you are attached, your sweetie will support you in whatever you want to do. Know that you need to be just as nurturing with him or her. CAPRICORN has a lot of opinions.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★★ What is great about you is the way in which you accept and execute responsibility. Suddenly, you might find yourself in charge of a holiday gathering or event. Use your energy and imagination to ensure that a good time is had by all. Tonight: Let your hair down.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★★ You could be unaware of how demanding you are. You also might be somewhat remote and distant. Do not be surprised if a loved one tries to provoke an argument in order to encourage you to focus on him or her. Consider scheduling a getaway. Tonight: Where your mind can drift.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
★★★★★ One-on-one relating seems to be extremely gratifying to you at the present moment. Whether you are wrapping pres- ents with someone, watching a holiday movie or even just enjoying a glass of eggnog, you radiate contentment. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
★★★★ You could be close to your limit with handling holiday errands and to-dos. Distract yourself for the day and grab your favorite person. Go off to the movies together. Indulge in a non-holiday activity. Once more, you will feel renewed. Tonight: Did you hang the mistletoe?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
★★★ Dive into the day with the intention of clearing out as much as you possibly can. Your pace could be unusually hectic, leaving you with little time to just gaze at holiday decorations. What you complete could free you up for more time to enjoy the holiday. Tonight: Relax at home.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
★★★★ You could be trying to lift someone’s spirits, but be careful, as you might drain yourself in the process. Take better care of yourself in general. Go off and take a brisk walk with the dog or go skating. You will feel much better. Tonight: Let the other party make the first move.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
★★★ You might be more anchored than you realize. When someone encourages you to try something totally new, your answer easily could be ‘’no.’’ Your routine and habits stabilize you, but you also love adventure. Go for it, even if it is not on your terms. Tonight: Order in.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
★★★★★ Your intensity melts others’ resistance quickly. The question remains: Do you want to charm them into being more responsive? You like intensity. You understand that to feel good, you sometimes need to feel bad. Let a friend have some space. Tonight: Off with a loved one.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
★★★ Be aware of your discipline when it comes to indulgences. You could discover that making something a habit might take some time. As long as you are willing to go overboard, go for it. A family member actually could decide to join you. Tonight: No regrets -- just do what you must.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
★★★★★ Wherever you are, others wish they were too. You seem to let go of the seriousness you are usually associated with. Confusion surrounds your plans or a conversation. For some reason, the situation suddenly hits you as hysterical. Tonight: Out on the town.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
★★★ Vanish for a day. Do not be findable. With the holidays approaching, you have a built-in excuse. You might need some downtime alone or with one special person. Keep a lid on your spending, and you will be a lot happier in the long run. Tonight: Mystery becomes you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
★★★★★ A particular group of friends is serious-minded, but they are fun to be with. Get together with this particular circle and toss yourself into what is happening. You might want to hear some holiday music, so make it a possibility. Tonight: Forget self-discipline, and go for the moment.
