Horoscopes

For Saturday, Dec. 4, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have an unusually imaginative side, which emerges often this year. Use your sixth sense to help you deal with others. Do not buy a computer or car this year, as you might not like your choice later. Take a strong stand professionally and become more involved in your work and/or public image. You have a way of saying the right thing at the right time. Be sensitive to others. Be sure that anyone you talk to is understanding or receiving your message. If you are single, you might tend to make someone into what you want and not look at him or her realistically. Toss the rose-colored glasses. If you are attached, make music and trips to the water more a part of your life.
