Horoscopes

For Monday, Dec. 25

Those with birthdays today: Playing the recluse is not your act this year. You are a force to be dealt with. Be responsive to the many people in your life, and be willing to open up and look at issues through others’ eyes. Often, the unexpected runs riot through your plans as a reminder to not get stuck in patterns and routines. You will be happier. Expressing negative, or what you see as negative, feelings becomes important if done properly. If you are single, you will meet prospects with ease. Picking the right person might be another issue. If you are attached, your relationship will benefit from your willingness to understand. PISCES often seeks you out.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Whether you touch base with the spiritual meaning of this holiday or choose to keep your feelings to yourself, many Rams might be unusually quiet or reflective. Tonight: Do what you need to do for yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Somehow the magic of the holiday, whether you celebrate it or not, seeps through your actions and words. Share your feelings with those you care about. Tonight: Just wish upon a star and see what could happen!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might be quite pivotal to the quality of others’ days, and you might not like the responsibility. You also might not be able to buck the present status. Tonight: A must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you stay focused on the spiritual interpretation of this holiday, caring will infuse your life. If you are exhausted, take a nap rather than take out your mood on someone else. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Though you understand the nature of the holiday, it might not always be easy to give endlessly or conform to others’ needs. Give to others without worrying about receiving. Tonight: Spend special time with a loved one.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Others call the shots, and you are on the receiving end. Quite clearly, this position might not be bad. When someone throws a tantrum, look to what is behind the behavior. Tonight: Go along for the ride!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your energy and efforts are in demand. Pitch in and help. Others might be exhausted by holiday preparations. Offer a back rub to a loved one who seems to be stalling. Avoid nasty comments. Tonight: Be helpful.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your creativity comes out, even if you forgot someone. A last-minute purchase might be necessary and costly. Worry less and let others know how much you care. Tonight: Find the mistletoe.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Stay close to home. If you find yourself irritated or brusque, stop. No one needs to hear about your bad mood. Remember, someone might not be as fortunate as you. Tonight: Work with surprises.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Express yourself, but try to think about what you say and how you say it. Others easily could be overly sensitive and reactive. Don’t isolate yourself. Tonight: Catch up on others’ news.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could go to extremes without realizing it. Someone’s desires might be pushing you and making you a bit uncomfortable. Remember, you have limitations. Tonight: Catch up on calls. Don’t make any wild money decisions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Use your energy to please others. The Moon in your sign makes you the focal point. Unexpected actions might feel like a relief to you but could shock others. Tonight: Ask for that special wish.
