For Friday, Dec. 5:

This year you will focus on family, home and security. Think more positively about home and hearth. Create a better sense of togetherness with your immediate circle. If you are single, you might want to jump into a relationship quickly because you want companionship. If you are attached, the two of you will build on your experience and what you already have. Pisces can be a drag at times.

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)

••• Continue to maintain a low profile. You don’t want any work tossed on your desk. Friction happens without trying. On some level you feel as if you are walking on eggshells. Tonight: Take a deep breath, then decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Zero in on what you want, directly and clearly. Someone could toss an obstacle in your path to getting there, specifically a close friend, associate or loved one. Tonight: Surround yourself with friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Be ready to take a stand. You could surprise many, especially those who think they know you. Tonight: A must happening.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• Especially if conflicted or triggered, strive to get a bigger view, or detach. When you move past the emotions, you could be surprised by what the whole picture looks like. Tonight: Rent a movie, or go where there is music.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Work with a partner or associate. You might want to create a little uproar; however, the ramifications could be difficult. Tonight: Say yes to an offer.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Defer to someone rather than try to run the show. You discover that you like that mind-set, as rancor and criticism run riot. Tonight: Listen to suggestions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Don’t worry so much about what others do; rather, be clear about what you must do. Communication proves to be active, sometimes hostile or irritating. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• Your creativity bubbles forth out of the blue. You might not be surprised, but others will be. Tonight: Act as if this is the last night of your life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Just when you believe you have hit a home run, you find out otherwise. Listen well to news that heads in your direction, but don’t take information as fact. Tonight: Anchor in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• The words you choose are meant to communicate, though you might let some stored and perhaps hostile ideas slip through. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Expenses are overwhelming, and you might not be sure which way to go. Friends might not be supportive and even cause more irritation, at least to your checkbook. Tonight: Relax with a pal.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• You might be overwhelmed by everything that you hear and that heads in your direction. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.
