Horoscope for Dec. 16

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)

•••• Be sensitive to a change early in the day. No longer are you the centerpiece, but one of the players. Knowing how to gracefully let down your defenses could be very important. Tonight: Treat yourself on the way home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• You feel empowered and know that you can manage what otherwise might be a difficult situation. Tonight: As you like it.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Take a stab at doing something differently. Others might push you in a certain direction. Stop and use your instincts, and you will be happy with the end results. Tonight: Vanish.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Zero in on what you want. Screen out a matter that is distracting you. Tonight: Where the action is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Others pressure you to achieve the goals they desire. You could be inordinately tired and drawn, yet at the last minute you get a second wind. Tonight: A force to be dealt with — think “weekend.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You also might be seeking out an expert or two to help you break through an issue. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• Others will pitch in if you ask for help. You could be quite tired and drained just from your daily routine and a domestic issue. Tonight: Visit over dinner with a pal.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Others knock on your door, allowing greater flow. You are anxious to clear up a misunderstanding that might not be too comfortable. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Focus on completion, as you might have been somewhat distracted the past few days. Tonight: At home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• You change your tune as you are more relaxed and see a new path. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Consider adding a more personal touch to your home or place of work. You need that sense of “yours.” Many of you will opt to add fountains or plants. Tonight: Close to home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• You could be more emotional than you realize. What you say does make a big difference to others. If you overwhelm people with an ongoing emotional monologue, they will run. Tonight: Hang out with your pals.
