For Saturday, Dec. 23

Those with birthdays today: This year, much perks up in your life, emotionally, intellectually and in life events in general. What might be important and instrumental to your life’s success is to weigh the pros and cons of a situation more carefully before leaping in. Sometimes you get so frustrated you cannot hold yourself back. Be more direct and open with close friends. Learn, also, to express uncomfortable feelings. If you are single, check out someone you are interested in very carefully. You could be stunned by what you find. If you are attached, a common goal or achievement will draw you closer. AQUARIUS expects a lot from you.

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)

Your ideas convert into actions. Your actions let others know just how much you care. A call or news might encourage you to bring a new person or two into your plans. Tonight: Where you are, the party is.

You might be overwhelmed by a key loved one’s or friend’s requests. Yet you might not be willing to say “no.” Please don’t complain. You express your unique qualities in your choices. Tonight: A must appearance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Do make an effort to understand what someone else is thinking. Make a point of calling or reaching out to those at a distance. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

Togetherness is the theme right now. Find that special friend or associate who you can talk to and share with. You might be delighted by what goes on. Take a walk or go see Christmas decorations. Tonight: Stoke the fires.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Others cannot stay away, no matter what. Someone has a different perspective from you. Are these differences worth a toasty disagreement? We think not. Tonight: Respond to another’s suggestion.

Get a head start on what you might like to accomplish. You find that handling the details and must-do’s immediately will help you relax. You’ll want to clear out as much free time as possible. Tonight: Mosey on home.

You cannot hold yourself back. You might want to ask yourself why you need to. Let your enthusiasm and bubbliness flow. Don’t stand on ceremony. Make a call. Tonight: Fun and games.

You want to head home early. All this nesting might be fine and well, but still some people would like to visit and see you. Try to fit in others’ needs. It isn’t all about you. Tonight: How about some eggnog?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have plans. How you approach others can determine the success or failure of the next few days. File down a touch of abrasiveness, and you are a sure winner. Tonight: Share holiday tidings.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful about last-minute impulsiveness. You could cause yourself a problem when you least expect or want it. Don’t allow a perceived slight to mar the moment. Tonight: Play Santa. Give out treats!

Clearly, you are on top of your game. Certain friends could be very demanding. How you deal with these people might make a big difference. Allow more give-and-take with your special people. Tonight: Don’t be shy. Share a dream.

* Get extra sleep while you can, because before you know it, you will be the lead actor. Think in terms of completing a personal matter or talk. This person might seem bellicose at first. Tonight: Get ready!
