For Saturday, Dec. 16

Those with birthdays today: This birthday year you develop a new style that draws positive events and people. Because you are optimistic and full of fun, others want to come in closer or become a greater part of your life. Do pick and choose new associates carefully, because often others aren’t what they appear to be. You could be uncomfortable with this distortion. Honor who you are and head in the best direction for you. If you are single, check out someone carefully before making this person your new sweetie. If you are attached, you might want to spend more time with your significant other. In some sense, you need to get reacquainted. You will like what happens if you do! SCORPIO reads you cold.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Work with others, and you’ll get results. Your fiery nature might be slightly tamed, but your impulsiveness still plays a role in your plans. A partner will do whatever’s necessary to have a greater say. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Many people have different ideas. The way to learn to enjoy your many associates is to be open to their ideas. Choose to do nothing halfway; give 100 percent. Tonight: Where the party is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Easy does it. You might have a lot of errands to run and people to touch base with. You need to feel accomplished and that you have achieved some important results. Tonight: Don’t push too hard.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your creativity merges to another level. You’ll feel much different if you flow and don’t buck trends. You don’t need to have all the answers. Get into the merry quality of the season. Tonight: Ever playful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ Basics count. Listen to what others offer, but make it OK to stay close to home. Inevitably, good news will head in your direction. Invite your kidlike side out. Tonight: Happiest staying close to home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are all smiles as you approach life’s adventures. Your creativity emerges, allowing greater flex and happiness. Others might unload even more responsibility on you. Loosen up and relax. Tonight: Do your thing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ You act in an unpredictable manner. You might want to try something new, but could hit opposition because someone isn’t as adventurous as others. Tonight: Where the music is – perhaps a holiday concert?
