Horoscopes

For Friday, Dec. 24.

Those with birthdays today: Often you might need to pitch in and help others at work or in your daily life. Surprises and the unexpected trail behind you. Learn to be your own person and to not depend on others or given situations. Concentrate, focus and avoid scattering your energy. Be careful not to get involved in way-out health fads. Check in with the doctor first. If you are single, November and December 2005 start a cycle where you might have more than one suitor. Meanwhile, enjoy light flirtations. If you are attached, work together to enhance your daily life. Be grateful for what you have rather than be critical. Gemini can be provocative.
