For Thursday, Dec. 31:

This year, you often reflect on what direction you need to take. For many of you, a radical career change might be in order. For others, it might be taking better care of yourself. If you are single, you could meet someone very exciting. If you are attached, you might juggle the balance between the two of you, rekindling the bond. Cancer has the same issues as you but approaches them differently.

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)

•••• Pressure builds as many people and obligations seem to pop up out of the blue. You could be juggling different responsibilities, professionally and personally. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Keep communication flowing. Make New Year’s calls early on in the day. Tonight: You don’t need to go far.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• It becomes apparent that you don’t enjoy yourself unless there is a lot of hoopla and champagne popping. Tonight: Stay present in the moment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Others keep knocking on your door. Listen to what a friend or loved one shares. Clearly there is a decisiveness in plans and desires. Tonight: Celebrate the new year in full regalia.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• Perhaps being a little more low-key than past New Year’s would feel good. Whether you need downtime or would prefer time with a special loved one makes no difference. Tonight: Feelings intensify.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Start looking at matters from both sides. Plans could easily dissolve into dust before you know it. Don’t get uptight. Tonight: With the crowds.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Tensions build, as you might have the same plans year after year, and you would like to do something more different and with perhaps deeper meaning. Tonight: A must appearance.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• If you see an opening or if plans change, opt for the unusual choice. You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities in front of you. Tonight: Talk about your dreams.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• A partner would like to have your attention exclusively. For such a gregarious sign, this implied demand could be a problem. Tonight: Be with that special person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• Others demand your time and attention. Give as much as you can, but also give yourself permission to close down if need be. Tonight: Let your imagination take the lead.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• You might choose to spend the next few days in a very casual, easy manner. Today, clear out your to-dos quickly. Tonight: Give your best effort.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• You above all signs know how to play and party as if there is no tomorrow. Try to complete anything that seems to be a must, so that you can relax and get into the moment. Tonight: Bring in the new year as only you can.
