­For Saturday, Dec. 24:

This year your birthday falls on a New Moon, creating a new beginning in an area of your life. This lunar position bestows charisma and creativity. If you are single, you have a slew of admirers and would-be suitors. If you are attached, make sure to keep the balance between you as a couple. Capricorn reads through your defenses.

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 might not be as open as others would like. Your organizational abilities come out. Tonight: Opt for a new beginning.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Keep reaching out for distant friends you want to wish holiday cheer. Tonight: Put on some music and break out the eggnog.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Deal with one other person directly, and then another person, and then one more. Those contacts — especially with people you say “hi” and “bye” to, but no more — mean a lot. Tonight: A little more tame than usual.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Others request your talents and companionship. Though a sudden change could toss plans to the wayside, you accomplish a lot quite quickly. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• You emanate joy nearly everywhere, yet suddenly you become very practical. Some will be relieved to see that side of you emerge. Tonight: Giving 100 percent of yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You wake up acting like a 5-year-old getting ready to greet Christmas. Every so often, the child in you emerges. Tonight: Loving every moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Approach a situation with more understanding than many others. Tonight: What would anyone do without you?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You might be very happy at the thought of the upcoming holiday. Or you could be overwhelmed and/or tired of the celebration. Tonight: You know what to do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Last-minute errands or a forgotten gift could have you running, whether you like it or not. Tonight: Don’t go overboard.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• You glide through the day, perhaps the result of excellent planning, but also because you don’t have too many expectations. Tonight: Flex with a change.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• A general feeling of malaise or concern permeates your mood. If you haven’t connected with a key person, don’t stand on ceremony — make it so. Tonight: How about some eggnog?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••••• Zero in on the moment. At the last minute, you could opt to invite friends over or join friends at some point in the day. Tonight: Seize the moment.
