For Monday, Dec. 19

Those with birthdays today: Often, confusion surrounds your communications. Reading between the lines becomes a strength. Finding ways to verify your ideas could be important. Sometimes, everything happens at once, which could be overwhelming, especially concerning people and your long-term goals. If you are single, lie back and allow others to demonstrate their true colors. You will get a better read on a situation this way. If you are attached, travel could enhance your bond. Also learn not to judge. LEO helps you blaze a new trail.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Build on an important bond. You will feel that you need to make a choice; you really don’t. Understand your limits and you will be much happier. Tonight: You feel pulled between friendship and love. A child might be involved.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You come from a secure point of view. Evaluate what you want to do. You will be able to mobilize the support of others if you agree with or affirm their opinions a bit more. Tonight: Happy at home.

Express exactly what you think and feel. The ability to free-associate or be imaginative could take you down a new path. Listen to others, as they could add to your moment. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news.

A money risk might not be the best, but is very tempting. A yellow alert flashes with money and love. Play the day conservatively. You might not see an association clearly. Tonight: Stretch your budget.

Jump over a barrier or two, and you will have a lot to smile about. Sometimes others act up in confusing ways. Your sense of direction and magnetic personality make you a winner. Tonight: As you wish.

Listen well to what is being shared. Take your time making a decision.Your perspective could change if you allow others to give you feedback. Are you inspired in your life? If not, make adjustments. Tonight: Take some daydreaming time.

You might feel pushed by someone, and reasonably so. Take the lead in a situation that involves your reputation. You are on top of your game, though you might have a little too much energy. Tonight: Could be a late night.

Work on gaining a long-term perspective before jumping. You are subject to faulty information or gossip. You need to get the facts. Seek out news. Read between the lines. Tonight: Stop and rent a movie on the way home.

Money is always a prime issue, especially if you feel as if it is vanishing. Friends mean well but could give faulty advice. An associate could feel like he or she is right. Let this person sound off, if nothing else. Tonight: Let someone else treat.

You might be confusing a situation. Think in terms of clarity, and perhaps let others make the final decision. You’re full of ideas, but working them into a practical framework might be someone else’s skill. Tonight: Be easygoing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Your imagination and sensitivities could distract you from what is important. Be careful to focus and concentrate. You also might want to schedule some dream time. Tonight: Dream away while taking a walk.
