For Friday, Dec. 1, 2006:

Those with birthdays today: You are entering an extremely memorable year that easily could determine your life’s history. You could be on top of the world, as opportunity after opportunity appears in your life. You might need to distance yourself from certain people or situations that might not be healthy or productive. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone important. Because of this relationship, you could transform. If you are attached, be understanding. At times, in-laws could be challenging. Imagine what it might be like to be them! TAURUS helps you accomplish a lot.
