For Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2003:

Those with birthdays today: Use this year to zero in on what you want. You need to be very careful with your choice of words, and don’t stand on ceremony with others. Your creativity is unusually high, drawing the results you want. If you are single, you might date a lot, networking and meeting new people. If you are attached, your relationship will develop. Libra is your pal.

  • Your playfulness could irritate others but delight you right now. You might have more problems than you would like. Tonight: Find a fun playmate.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You might have to go after what you want rather than depending on others. Whether your message gets confused on its way or others don’t get it makes no difference. You’re the most competent person to do job. Tonight: Find your friends.
