Horoscopes for Dec. 19

This year, events and people test your way of reasoning and processing. Use these experiences to explore different ideas, moving away from right and wrong, as well as black-and-white thinking. Those single and born today will have quite a few potential suitors, but many will blow out. If you are attached, give-and-take becomes even more important. Gemini has similar issues as you but a different approach.

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)

••• You could be out of sorts for a myriad of reasons, but why not get past the feeling? Someone spontaneously invites you on an adventure. Tonight: Make it an early night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• Watch an innate tendency to go overboard without thinking. You might be forced to look at your reaction to a situation. Tonight: Have fun with a favorite person.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• You easily could get aggravated by a partner, dear friend or loved one. Rather than being grumpy, go for a walk or do a little shopping. Tonight: Let others give suggestions!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•• Know when you are best off pleading for private time, for whatever reason. You simply need some downtime. Tonight: An important talk.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You might want to rethink plans if you wake up feeling weathered. That dragging energy most likely will be part of your day until you have a perky conversation with a child or loved one late this afternoon. Tonight: Hang with friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• Unlike many people, you have a high visibility right now. Your responsibilities seem endless. Tonight: Wherever you are, you are a star.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• Keep reaching out for others at a distance. Whether addressing holiday cards, wrapping presents or making calls to those who are not near, your thoughts will be appreciated. Tonight: Detach from an immediate situation, then use your imagination.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• It seems you have little choice. You must dedicate some time to a key partner or loved one. Tonight: Time to have some fun!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• A money issue could be irritating, but are you going to allow it to ruin your day? We hope not. Tonight: Be where people are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Take extra time to clear out any last-minute Santa chores or to do a project that will make the next few weeks flow. Tonight: Relax, relax …

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• You cannot prevent a frisky playfulness that emanates from you. Even if you are personally aggravated about several issues, this attitude still comes out. Tonight: Where you want to be.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Tension could be an issue, not only on the home front but also with a friend or a goal that might be harder to realize than you thought possible. Tonight: Mellow out; you choose how.
