Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2003:

Those with birthdays today: You have high energy this year, especially when the issue is creative or financial. You will bloom professionally and see the results in a way that makes a difference to you, be it a pay raise or a promotion. If you are single, you might go through several relationships before you meet the person who feels right. Be careful if attached: You might be so amorous that a new addition could be a possibility. Libra is always a pal.

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)

  • With Mars moving into your sign, you become a powerhouse. But be careful, you could be a bit too blunt or difficult for those around you. Be willing to pitch in where others seem to slow down. Tonight: Work late, then play.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Use caution with your temper. Learn to express your feelings in a way that others can respond to. Don’t let your temper build, because it is not only bad for you but also for others. Tonight: Think before taking on another project.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You will have a strong drive to make what you want happen. Others might be stunned by your one-sidedness and your need to come out a winner. Tonight: Bring extra work home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You’re extremely verbal and direct about what you want. A boss, as well, could be unusually demanding and difficult in the next few weeks. Choose carefully the time to present your view. Tonight: Get together with a pal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Spending could definitely get out of whack. Try something different. Do your research, and you’ll come up with unusually special ideas. Anything is possible. Tonight: Finish up some spending.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • You are going to deal with a fiery associate who often has you tossing your hands in the air. Use your creativity and charm, if necessary, to make your point. Lie back more. Tonight: What you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Try not to take everyone too seriously. You could find that someone close to you becomes most contentious in the next few weeks. You have the support of your family and loved ones. Just don’t trigger. Tonight: Nap and then out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Groups and meetings prove to be most successful. Others seem to be able to get behind what you feel and want. Together you make what you want happen. Tonight: Make it early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • A boss sits back and carefully thinks about what he or she expects. You will come up with ways of making more money with active brainstorming. You might be unusually active. Tonight: Join friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Use your softer nature, and you’ll get what you want. What you see as others respond could be quite rewarding. Someone at a distance might be highly responsive. Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Think before you leap on someone else’s idea. You might ask questions. In the next few weeks, you could come off harsher than you realize. Tonight: Love the one you’re with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Others seek you out. Investigate and ask questions while others seem so open. Avoid a situation that might cause you to spend your money. Tonight: As you like it.
