For Sunday, Dec. 3, 2006:

You find that this year you can accomplish a lot of what you want, but you must depend on yourself. Often, others have an attitude or become difficult. You can smile your way through any problem. You will transform your attitude and quite possibly your home life.

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)

¢¢¢¢ Curb a tendency to be possessive or withdrawn. You also might discover that a close loved one is touchy. Let go of your anger and work through a problem. Curb wild spending for now. Tonight: A quiet chat over dinner.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ You might feel A-OK, but that doesn’t mean everyone does. In fact, all the grumbling indicates otherwise. Others easily misunderstand. Problems come out of the blue. The more you can do on your own, the happier you will be. Tonight: Just ask!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Plan on playing this Sunday low-key. Whether you decide to take a walk or vanish for some holiday shopping, you are best off in your own company. Don’t allow a misunderstanding to become a big deal. Tonight: Nap, and then you’ll feel more like yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ If you focus on what you want or getting together with friends, your day might be far more pleasant than dealing with a tiring person’s issues or problems. Screen your calls and choose your focus. Tonight: Be with friends until you are too tired.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ Others turn to you for answers. You might be rather negative or withdrawn. If you encounter difficult people or confusion, you might want to consider doing your own thing. Others take their cues from the big Lion. Tonight: Relax and enjoy yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ If you can go on a day trip or perhaps meet a friend halfway, you will enjoy exploring. Let go of your insecurities and a tendency to sometimes overthink things and be negative. Don’t let a change in plans get to you. Flow. Tonight: Busier than you thought.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ You cannot suppress another’s enthusiasm, and you might not want to. Still, you might need to disappoint a friend or feel as if you cannot get enough done. Don’t let frustration turn into a disagreement. Take a deep breath instead. Tonight: Do some talking about the holiday and plans.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might be much more fiery than you realize. If you notice that others are backing away or not being responsive, stop. To turn a situation around right now, do nothing. You will discover that others need to have more say. Tonight: A quiet chat and dinner.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢ Curb your interactions, mainly because a lot of people could be out of sorts. You don’t need to hit interference left and right. You might want to get your holiday cards addressed or do some other one-person activity. Tonight: Come out when you know the coast is clear.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ You will need all your creativity to deal with others. No one means to be difficult, but there appears to be a general Scrooge attack or mood loose. Don’t allow others to get the best of you. Remain upbeat. Tonight: Add humor.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ You know when to play it low-key. Consider declaring today a lazy day, when you don’t answer phones and just do what you want. Others will be demanding. Why get into the thick of everyone’s mood? Tonight: Help cheer up a loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You want to get a lot done. If you have your cell phone with you, a call might force you to revamp your plans. Be honest with yourself. You only have so much energy. Take a nap if you want.
