Horoscopes

For Friday, Dec. 15

Those with birthdays today: You have a personal style that can open possibilities if you let friends and ideas flow. You will flourish as a result. You might need substantial downtime to recycle and handle what could be tossed on your plate. Don’t feel guilty about pulling in and taking precious time alone. You are entering a new luck cycle in which achievement becomes your middle name. If you are single, check out someone carefully before you get involved. This person might not be all he or she seems to be. If you are attached, you might be delighted by what happens if the two of you take enough downtime together. SCORPIO understands you better than you realize.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Knowing that you will be free once you accomplish what you must drives you. A partner or social occasion will be far more pleasant if you can relax and enjoy it. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ Your creativity flows during the daylight hours. You see life from a different perspective. Listen to what is being shared and put in your 2 cents. Fatigue arises at the close of the day. Tonight: Easy does it.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Come from a centered and direct point of view. Realize your options. Add your unusual resourcefulness, and you’ll come up with a nearly foolproof idea. Tonight: Into the whirlwind of life and living.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Your communications need to be as direct and concise as possible if others are to hear you. Much confusion surrounds a key associate who might be in such a whirlwind that he or she cannot get it. Tonight: Anchor in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You’ll have more influence in the daylight hours than in the evening. Know when you need to walk away from a problem. How you express yourself and your choices will affect the response. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢ Take time to listen to someone who might have a lot on his or her chest. Though you might be emotionally forlorn by what you hear, know that it isn’t the final decision or response. Tonight: As you like.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Zero in on what you want to do in the daylight hours. If you feel like you have to get it all done at once, you might not be far from wrong. You will need some downtime. Tonight: Where your friends are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢ Take charge if you need to, but also be willing to delegate jobs left and right. Sometimes you take on too much and feel overburdened. Don’t let someone’s criticism get the best of you. Tonight: Enjoy your friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Your vision could lighten up a tough situation. Money surprises might not be comfortable, but you will deal with them. Aim for more of what you want. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You might not see the big picture, but events will force you to take another gander. A partner gives you meaningful feedback, whether you want to hear it or not. Tonight: New vistas.
