For Friday, Dec. 12:

This year, learn to integrate your energy and thoughts rather than worry so much about what might be happening. You might think about money too much, making it a critical issue, far past the level it needs to be. If you are single, someone quite exotic could cause you to daydream for quite a while. If you are attached, plan that special vacation together. Gemini can be challenging 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)

•••• Tempers flare, and you might have difficulty keeping ends together. You suddenly find yourself in the “grump” category. Tonight: Finally, the weekend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•• Curb wild spending, keeping your limits in mind. You might need to put a halt to all spending, at home and professionally. Tonight: Join a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Though you might believe you are on top of your game, others clearly are not. At what point do you or should you run interference? Tonight: Follow the music.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•• Know when to call in or take off as early as possible. It isn’t an issue of whether your intentions are good but rather a question of your mood and preventing a problem before it begins. Tonight: Opt for a good night’s sleep.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Zero in on what is important. While a child or new friend could throw a tantrum and a partner make threats, you need to steer clear. Tonight: Exactly what you want.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• Much work and responsibility drop on you. Be aware of a family member’s attitude; you might need to reconcile the matter. Tonight: Call it an early night.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Take an overview of a situation. Stay out of negativity and, if possible, avoid another person’s hot temper. Tonight: Take off ASAP.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••• A partner is unusually dominant. This person lets you know in no uncertain terms that it is his or her way or the highway. Tonight: Defer once more, but not for long!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Defer to others, as you cannot win otherwise. You might only get frustrated if you insist on having something fall your way. Tonight: Let others choose.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Pace yourself. Get as much done as you possibly can. You easily could be overwhelmed by what happens and your choices. Tonight: Easy does it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• If you have a sense of humor, you can laugh and maintain a perspective. Be subtle, as someone’s feelings could be hurt easily. Tonight: Ever playful.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Others might be irritating, especially a boss or older relative. Try to stay centered and understand what is needed. Your instincts play out and guide you. Tonight: Happily head home.
