Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Dec. 27

Those with birthdays today: Your spirit and determination will be tested. Often, the solution will come from your ingenuity and creative risk-taking. You will always be on top if you flow with events and the moment. Emphasize your goals. You will have the drive to follow through and come out a winner. A partnership could be difficult, but friends support you on your journey. Network and broaden your horizons. If you are single, you will meet someone who could knock your socks off. Get to know this person slowly and don’t take any risks. If you are attached, you might want to separate your finances, as you often disagree. Keep the peace. SCORPIO paves the way to the winner’s circle.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Realize when you are in a no-win situation, which easily could be today. You need to back off and not get triggered. You are more fed up and tired than you realize. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

No matter what you do, you seem to hit a brick wall. Either stop, hop over the wall or go around it. You could see red otherwise and take out your frustration on someone you care about. Tonight: Cocoon.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Sometimes you don’t realize how negative you can be (like today). Immerse yourself in a project or favorite hobby. You will be a lot happier and work through your mood. Tonight: Choose a stress-buster.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You have many ideas, but you don’t have a receptive audience. Let go of needing others, and do what you enjoy. A child will be only too happy to join you in some fun and play. Tonight: Still enjoying yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Try not to spoil someone’s good mood. You might feel pressured by a responsibility that really feels like a burden. You cannot change this situation, but you can adopt a new attitude. Tonight: Get some extra sleep.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You actually could be too cheerful for someone who feels a bit down. Are you forcing yourself to be cheery? You might want to think about that sooner or later. Tonight: Think “winter getaway.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A friend could be overly serious and difficult. An associate might not be as giving as you would like. Do something you have wanted to do for a while. Be careful with runaway spending, OK? Tonight: Gather your bills.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be A-OK, but those around you might be off-center. Express a willingness to pitch in and help. Someone key to your life is difficult. Understand, but don’t trigger. Tonight: As you wish.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Back off as soon as you hit an obstacle. In fact, you might find that keeping your own company is easiest. Though you are a gregarious sign, you gain through centering and some downtime. Tonight: Mystery becomes you. Not to be found.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Where the crowds are is where the Goat needs to be found. You will be much happier if you allow yourself to relax and hang out. Take a few days off from your many responsibilities. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Others seek you out. Make it your pleasure to pitch in. Realize that you could be neglecting a family member who is on the warpath. Touch base with him or her. Tonight: Don’t feel like you need to race home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your strength will come from taking an overview and not getting plugged into a problem. Do be careful, as your head might be in the clouds, making you an accident-prone Fish. Tonight: Early to bed.
