Horoscopes

For Saturday, Dec. 17

Those with birthdays today: You have many unusual opportunities this year. You must be clear, farsighted and not delay or what you want could blow up in your face. In fact, at times you discover your efforts will evaporate. Your instincts could be in conflict with the facts. You will need to juggle both sides of an equation. If you are single, don’t plan to make a commitment this year. Consider the fact that you are shopping the market, so to speak. Enjoy the dating game. If you are attached, you might often disagree about spending. Respect each other’s opinions and agree to disagree. CANCER likes to be close to you.
