For Monday, Dec. 9, 2002. Those with birthdays today: You will change your path this year, possibly revising your life, relationship and/or work. Better yet, know that you have the power to instrument a major transformation in your life. You might want something totally different. As a result, those around you could become stiff and difficult. If you are single, you could meet someone out of the blue who impacts your life in unanticipated ways. This relationship will grow much closer than you thought possible. If attached, help your sweetie understand the many steps your mind takes to make decisions.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

• Meetings provide you with incentive and energy, whether you want it or not. Learn to like the feedback, as you cannot change it. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

• Keep reaching out for those at a distance. Act on that hunch, and others could be thrilled by the end results. Realize what might be too much for you to take on. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

• Use your ability to sleuth through what is happening with a partner. You might not always understand what he or she wants. Tonight: Imagine if you were “that” person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

• Others dominate, even if you would prefer to take charge. Somehow, you use your creativity to find a way to add your two cents. Tonight: A must appearance.

• You reverse course, possibly causing tremors in your immediate turf. Not everything comes easily, as you will see. Work with associates’ unpredictability. Tonight: Allow someone to lure you into his or her plans.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

• Dig in your hat of creativity. You discover solutions easily. You find another way to communicate, helping you redefine a personal matter. Tonight: Work as late as need be.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

• Prioritize, and you’ll get much more done than you anticipated. Realize your limits within your personal circle. Revise your budget if you feel the need. Tonight: Ignore the fact that it’s Monday.

• You twist and turn trying to make the facts conform to your sense of what you know. Revise your thinking pattern. Tonight: Romp on home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

• Instead of attempting to work out a problem by yourself, allow others to come to the rescue. Sometimes a totally different perspective helps you open up doors. Tonight: Your treat.

• Realize what someone is saying when this person says that he or she has had enough. You might need to rework or revamp a friendship and your expectations. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

• * Step back. You might not understand what “hit” a boss. It also might not be what you think is happening. Avoid making a judgment. Go with the moment. Tonight: Do your thing.
