For Friday, Dec. 8

Those with birthdays today: This year, when you blow out your birthday candles, you will simultaneously enter a special new luck cycle. You will project the best part of yourself. You have energy and ideas. Others seek you out as if you were a cheerleader. Always take an overview when possible. If you are single, others surround you. Pick and choose your companions, as well as that special person. He or she could be very different. If you are attached, with understanding, the two of you bond more closely and enjoy each other more. How about that special trip you have discussed often? LEO always has a different point of view.

¢¢¢¢¢ News from others could add a special dimension to events and the choices you make. Trust that you are coming from a solid point of view. Tonight: Time with a special person.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Often we don’t see the whole picture. Listen to what a partner says. He or she is spelling out what needs to happen. Consider your options more carefully than in the past. Tonight: Close to home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want to think in terms of new beginnings. If you back away from previous patterns, you might be surprised at how differently someone acts. Open doors. Tonight: Join a friend or two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ What seems like a done deal turns out not to be. You can handle what heads down your path because of your enormous resourcefulness and creativity. Tonight: Treat someone to dinner, or perhaps some holiday buying.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Intuitively, whatever you decide flows. Others make an effort not only to understand but also to contribute. Let your imagination run while using your wisdom to eliminate wild risks. Tonight: Others want to be with you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢ You might be thinking and observing. Still, someone might be uncomfortable with your presence or lack of involvement. Let this person know that you are processing and working through an idea. Tonight: Do your own thing.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ See what happens when you listen more and let your friends spew out information. Discussions are animated, fun and productive. Tonight: What do you want to have?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ Others seek you out. Be careful, as high costs are coming, be it with the holiday or choices you need to make. A promised bonus is nothing until it shows up. Tonight: Enjoy being out.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your mind might be on details and events that are not happening immediately. As a result, you gain a new perspective of events as they head down your path. Tonight: Listen to favorite music, or play a favorite game.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ A partner or associate has a secret. You might not be able to help yourself as you try to figure out what is up. Know that you won’t. Handle some personal matters as well. Tonight: Share some spiced cider.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others want control. You might not care as long as you feel OK with what is going down. It also might be important for someone to see the byproduct of his or her actions. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You have much to do and very little time, it seems. You will get a lot done, especially if you allow someone you trust to help you organize. Evaluate a situation more carefully than before. Tonight: Get some errands done.
