Horoscopes

For Friday, Dec. 3, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You will make an impact, especially if you don’t trigger or get overly emotional. Your ability to take in the big picture could make all the difference. Share a different perspective more often and help others open up. You need to repeat yourself often. Learn new ways of expressing the same thoughts. Lead and be independent if possible. Bosses and partners could be touchy at best. If you are attached, plan on that special trip you both have been discussing.

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)

  • Be forewarned: Whatever you do today, you might very well have to repeat. In fact, why not try to call it an early workday? A business lunch could develop into a fun happening. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You feel pressure from your family and your personal life. Focusing on work might be difficult, and that might cause you to have to later redo whatever you are trying to do. Tonight: Move from work mode to playful.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You say what you think. Return calls and reach out for those who make a difference in your life. Clear your desk and schedule meetings for next week. Tonight: Chat on the way out the door.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You must deal with finances whether you like it or not. Though you might believe you have corrected it, the problem could reappear. Tonight: Out with friends. Celebrate Friday.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You still are the cat’s meow. If you are counting on getting a lot done other than socializing and networking, you could be in for a rude awakening. Use care with communications. Tonight: Party the weekend in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Take your time and don’t push. You might get more done if you focus on what you can do by yourself. Others might be off or in another world. Tonight: Once you leave work, you perk up.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You know what you want, and you could go off and get just that today. Yes, you could pull a white rabbit out of a black hat. Tonight: Head home early.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Deal with those in charge — you really don’t have much of a choice. Of all signs, you need to be diligent at work and tuck away a case of weekend fever. You can let go soon enough, but make sure you have dotted your “i’s” and crossed your “t’s.” Tonight: Now let off steam and celebrate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Your mind might be on taking off quickly this weekend. You do need to complete some calls and/or research. Avoid chatter and gossip. Your focus could make or break your work in the next few weeks. Tonight: Split town if you can.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Listen to a partner or associate. Together you bulldoze through paperwork and get more done than you thought possible. Study any agreement before putting your John Hancock on paper. Tonight: Dedicate the evening to one special person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Others seek you out, for work or socializing. If you can work, you could be unusually successful. Still, you might find it difficult to focus with all the calls and visits. Others are in weekend mode already. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • You get more done than many because you are able to concentrate. In fact, with everyone out for long lunches or taking half-days, you accomplish what you want. Tonight: Meet your pals.
