For Tuesday, Dec. 30:

This year more than any year, how you deal with key people reflects how secure you are within. Sometimes you might have a sense that you are giving everything away, but in reality that isn’t so. If you are single, you might want to conjure up someone who likes you for who you are, not what you first seem like or what you have. If you are attached, the two of you have some earnest goals that you will manifest together. Aquarius opens up new doors.

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)

••••• Where your friends are is where you want to be. Work? What? You might want to take off several days so you can properly christen the New Year. Tonight: Where the action is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• You need to step up to the plate. Others might be dependent on your energy or sense of responsibility. Express a long-term desire. Tonight: Others gravitate toward you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Reach out for those at a distance. What you say and do could make all the difference. Listen to news with your mind open to more dynamic thinking. Tonight: The sky is the limit.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Deal directly on an individual level. Others appreciate your attention, especially a key person. Don’t stand on ceremony if possible. Tonight: Togetherness counts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• Others simply know how to create a haze around your thinking. Make it OK to wear rose-colored glasses today. Tonight: Defer and see what others come up with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You have a way of mellowing out and getting past a problem. If you really want to try a different approach or a new idea, do so. Tonight: Easy does it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• You could be up for more fun. Investigate and understand what motivates the many people in your life, especially those who seem happy most of the time. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Easy might be the best approach. You certainly cannot fit a round peg into a square hole, though you might try! Tonight: Just ask.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH No one can deny that you have a way with words, though some might not appreciate it if you use that skill. Tonight: Hang out with pals.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Be aware of your options. You don’t need to head in one direction, even with New Year’s planning that is uncomfortable for you. Tonight: Your treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• Your imagination leads you, though you might define your actions logically. Use care with others, as they cannot be as easygoing. Tonight: As you like it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Understanding your limits might be far more important than you think. You don’t need to push someone too hard; this person is likely to come to his or her senses if left alone. Tonight: Play it low-key.
