Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday: for Saturday, Dec. 14. This year, you seem more together than you have in many years. You still are adventurous and capable of doing nearly anything, yet you display a unique sensitivity to the special people in your life. If single, the mix can be very attractive to those who want a viable relationship. If attached, the two of you seem anchored in your relationship, which adds to the quality of your life. Avoid getting hung up on differences. CANCER is caring above all, but sometimes you can feel suffocated by them.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★ Emotions seem to run high around you. With the holidays barreling down on you and others, the pace quickens. You might be prone to having a disagreement with someone you look up to. Tonight: You might have to kiss and make up.

Taurus (April 20-May

20): ★★★★ You have made up your mind to say what you feel. The liability with this decision? Others are likely to do the same. You find yourself thinking about another person’s comment. Let it go. Tonight: Getting into the holiday spirit.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★ You might speak your mind about all the shopping and gift giving. On the other hand, you love to see another person’s face when the gift chosen for him or her hits the bull’s-eye. Make time for a dear friend or loved one later. Tonight: Consider going caroling.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ You happily find yourself unusually busy, with more than a handful of holiday chores or errands to do. You might want to make time to do some more baking or finish up your cards. Tonight: Do only what you love.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★★ You do not need to make any excuses should you decide to cruise for the day. Your loved ones and friends assume they know what you are doing, as they are probably up to the same. Tonight: The less revealed, the more

exciting the evening could become.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★★ Zero in on what you need and want. You will spend more time than you anticipated with friends and loved ones. The convivial nature of the holidays encourages people to open up. Tonight: Be sure to keep a secret just that.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★★ Pressure builds to visit with elders or an older friend. Though these people might not be strutting around, they get into the holidays as well. You hear news that could delight you. Tonight: Off to visit with a group of friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★★ You must tell someone close about a recent happening. He or she might be a phone call away and will love the story you share. The two of you each have a unique perspective. Tonight: Let some wildness in.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★★ A loved one or child lets you know how much it would mean if you shared more of your time. Accommodate this person because you will benefit too. Tonight: Enjoy a Christmas concert.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ You might want to take a stand on a situation involving a partner or loved one. Is the flak you could stir up worth all the uproar? Only you can answer that question. Tonight: Make plenty of time for a special person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★ Pace yourself, and do not push others away in your determination to accomplish things today. Sometimes being a little less rigid serves you well. Make sure you have the outfit you want for an upcoming party. Tonight: Get out of the house.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★★★ You have no problem daydreaming or thinking about the elves and Santa. You can cook up many a fantasy, some riskier than others. Your imagination plays a significant role in your plans. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.
