For Thursday, Dec. 14

Those with birthdays today: Often this year you attempt to steer clear of trouble, but it seems to head in your direction! You can choose to see the world through rose-colored glasses, but understand that there will be ramifications. Many surprising happenings reflect this lack of realism. People and groups carry unusual significance this year. Broaden your horizons. If you are single, you will enter a very social period in which life and enjoyment of people star. You could easily hook up during this period. If you are attached, you find discussions together inspirational, taking you down a new path. Together you might be an unbeatable duo. LIBRA helps you achieve your goals.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ Work with others more directly. Hearsay or chain-of-command instructions do not flow. Your hands-on approach works when dealing with key people in your life. Tonight: Say yes. Let others reveal their true intentions.
