Happy birthday for Monday, Dec. 24, 2007:

You have a way about you that attracts many this year. You might not have the control you would like regarding who surrounds you. Others often run with the ball before you can grab it. If you do take the lead, there often are ramifications that you would prefer not to deal with. Listen to your inner voice and satisfy your personal needs. Use caution with your finances, because funds could trickle out of your wallet before you know it. If you are single, know that you are desirable. Sort through your suitors, knowing that the right person is likely to come forward. If you are attached, your sweetie wants more attention or control. Be smart; let him or her have it. Cancer can push you hard.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ••• For some, today is the culmination of a year’s work. Many of you cannot identify, but you will get into the last-minute excitement. Be careful as a roommate or loved one becomes demanding or difficult.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) •••• Note how reactive others are, even on this supposedly happy holiday. Memories and the past easily could interfere. Rather than become aggravated, indulge these people, as they might be really hurting.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••• Last-minute expenses could fry your normal good humor. Listen to your inner voice with an expenditure. Maybe you cannot cut spending at the last minute. Tempers flare, and you need to stay even, if possible.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••••• Though well intended and wanting the best, you could suddenly hear sharp words emerge from your own mouth! Perhaps you cannot accept someone’s attitude. Someone really does care but has an odd way of expressing it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Examine what is going on behind the scenes. You might be missing another’s cue. Listen to what others are saying. If you are angry or disappointed, express your feelings appropriately. Listen to responses well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••••• A friend pushes to make a dream a reality, as you might also. Hopefully you are on the same page. Do not allow a problem to begin. Infuse your day with holiday spirit, not last-minute errands.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Stand up for what you believe, though a partner or loved one could be very irritating. Remember the toll this holiday can take on others. Be expressive and caring. Talk about your feelings with an eye to making peace.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Reach out to others. Fatigue will set in if you aren’t careful. Creativity and feelings come forward. Your imagination seems relentless; focus on what is possible.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Others might force your hand. Rather than become involved in a power play, let a partner or loved one have his or her way. Go off and enjoy the positives of the season. Music and friendship mix well.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• Others test your patience and limits. Don’t fight city hall; let others be the grand master of the happening. You might want to buy a special item or express your feelings through a token gesture or gift. Don’t hesitate.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• Your easy pace works and gets you where you want to be. Think in terms of greater fulfillment and more answers. Someone might be more difficult than you realize. You also could be pushy as you attempt to finish off details.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ••••• Your imagination plugs up any holes or forgotten gifts. A child is so excited that he or she could be outrageous. You won’t be able to contain his or her energy, so work with it. Be more kidlike. You will understand.
