Horoscopes for December 1

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) ••• Step back and understand what is happening within your immediate circle. Be a cynic financially. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••••• You might be overlooking a special opportunity. Don’t worry about it, but be more alert. Tonight: Where the fun is.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) •••• You demand a lot of attention. Your laughter and easy style make a big difference. Tonight: A must show.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••••• You might be a bit out of kilter when dealing with daily routine matters. Let others do it, if they want to. Tonight: Break patterns.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• You might not have as much of a choice as you would like when dealing with an issue. Someone else, who is also involved, decides to take the lead. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Defer to others, understanding what is happening behind the scenes. Even if you want to be low-key, it appears that too many people are around to have any privacy. Tonight: Sort through the many invitations.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• How you handle yourself and the choices you make could define the success of a personal or professional relationship. You tumble into a whirlwind of activity set off by a partner or loved one. Tonight: At home.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Your immense creativity plays out in a very dramatic way. Much about you has changed — above all, your self-expression. Tonight: Only where you want to be.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• You have ways of making a point so that others will never forget the message. Just how hard you want to clobber someone is your call. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••• Being aware of your financial situation is critical at this time of year, or, for that matter, at any time of year. One gift might be far more important than any other. Tonight: Playing with other elves.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ••••• Your ability to perk up others might not work on you. Be careful that an error doesn’t turn into a big mistake. Tonight: Make sure that you and your budget see eye to eye.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Use your high energy well. You also might note that you have an unusual influence on a friend and are able to change his or her mind. Tonight: Only what you want.
