Horoscopes

For Friday, Dec. 9

Those with birthdays today: This birthday year, you’ll often find yourself shaking your head, not quite believing what is going down. Many times, you believe you are on the right path in your daily life, only to be bounced in a different direction. Romance, children and creativity are subject to whims and changing winds. You will learn to forge ahead in a meaningful direction that is time-tested. If you are single, romance won’t be boring, but it also won’t be stable. Go with the flow and don’t make assumptions concerning your love life. If you are attached, you could easily find children to be a roller-coaster ride. Surprise pregnancies also are possible. ARIES helps you laugh at life and its twists and turns.
