For Thursday, Dec. 13:

This year you will have a new beginning in whatever area you deem necessary. Your personal power will expand because you live your word. If you are single, you will see direct results. If you are attached, curb a tendency to be me-oriented.

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)

••••• A matter from the recent past could come back to haunt you. You can’t take back words said or actions done, but the good news is that you can remedy what happened. Tonight: Touch base with an older relative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Reconsider a situation involving a close partner. You can work through nearly anything together, as long as you are able to remain detached. Tonight: Answer your calls.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Reflect rather than react. A friend’s unpredictability could create uncertainty in your world. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• Dive right into work. You’ll discover the importance of clearing up as much as possible in the late afternoon. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You feel the weekend in your bones, but you have a lot to do before then. As you attempt to accomplish everything you must, you could get bogged down in a project. Tonight: Do your thing.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• If you’re considering the possibility of staying home more often, know that you’ll have to indulge this fantasy sooner or later. You could find a friend or loved one most distracting, though, so you might want to rethink this plan. Tonight: Now for the romp.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• You could be overwhelmed by everything that falls into your lap. You are incapable of handling it all, as you are only human. Tonight: Get some errands done.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• You could have a lot to say, and perhaps it is more than someone wants to hear. Be sensitive to this person. Tonight: Out and about.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• Make a resolution in the morning, and you’ll stand a chance of making it so. Your creativity springs forward whenever there is a need for a solution. Tonight: More holiday duties.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• In the morning, you could have a case of the lazies or seem a bit passive. By midafternoon, you’ll start acting like the Energizer bunny, and few can hop as fast as you. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Use the morning to the max. You could be inordinately lucky or just have a lot of support. Tonight: Not to be found.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Take charge of a project early on. You might feel as if you do not have enough time in the day to handle what you must. Tonight: Start the weekend early.
