For Saturday, Dec. 22:

Much happens quickly this year. Often, others are volatile. You don’t want to sever a tie because the two of you were in a bad mood. This type of event could happen easily, especially in the next few months. You begin a new luck cycle this year. If you are single, you don’t need to continue to be alone, as you have your share of admirers. If you are attached, understand what ails your sweetie. Cancer is hotheaded (with 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)

¢¢¢¢ You cannot get through this holiday without someone making a demand. You might want to say no. Tonight: Even if it’s not pleasant, you’ll get insight.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Make sure you feel comfortable financially; otherwise, you are unlikely to enjoy yourself. Tonight: Treat yourself to some holiday festivities.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ If you aren’t careful, a collision could occur with a special partner. You might want to say enough. Tonight: Avoid a misunderstanding.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢ You feel that it doesn’t make a difference what you do. However, if you’re expressing irritation or letting someone know you have had enough, you will see that you do count! Tonight: Claim your power.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ You have good intentions and want to deliver mirth everywhere. A friend or a change of plans might find you grumbling. Tonight: Fit in some downtime, please.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others might dump a lot on you, adding additional pressure, which you don’t need. You could snap or do something you might regret. Tonight: Opt for diplomacy rather than an uproar.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Possibilities open up, but they could cause more of a problem than they are worth. Know when to pull back and say no. Tonight: Don’t get into it with a touchy person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Work with others and try not to put somebody off or say no if you don’t have to. The end results will be better if you flow rather than become rigid. Tonight: Where there is holiday music.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Try to flow, even when you feel someone might be trying to get your ire up. Your backing down might not be taken as weakness. Tonight: Can you listen without commenting?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Greet your birthday period with a smile, knowing that you are about to have a banner year. You might not feel that way about what is happening, but you cannot change others. Tonight: Juggling different concerns.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Your playful nature might not be appreciated by others who are nothing less than tense. You choose how to deal with these different situations. Tonight: Try to help someone feel better.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢ How you deal with someone might come from frustration rather than thought. If you decide to go this route, you could encounter trouble. Tonight: Be as caring as possible.
