Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Dec. 8, 2011: This year you flip between being an efficiency expert and a real flirt. A great involvement in the community or through work also could occur. If single, date to your heart’s content. If attached, the two of you enjoy entertaining and going out and about even more. Spend as much time as you can together. Gemini is always around you. He or she cares. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Taurus until 6:52 p.m. Pacific time, when the moon enters Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Use care not to give away too much. You have a lot to offer. Do remember that fact. Others might pick up on an element of insecurity if you give too much away at first.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • Please note that it is prime time for you. Make the most of the daylight hours, without confusing situations any more. You gain a startling insight into a situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You might seem a bit withdrawn during the day. In truth, you are rethinking a situation. Certain elements might be confusing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • A meeting might prove to be even better than you thought it would be. Understanding evolves. You now have a strong sense of direction and know what must be done.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Listen to someone who is demanding your attention. Otherwise, you could have some long-term difficulties with this person. Keep your eye on the big picture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Get a head start on a project, because there are reasons to believe that you might want to be more sociable in the early evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • Sometimes you – one of the most self-disciplined signs in the zodiac – need to cut loose and do something different.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • Though you might believe you are as clear as a bell, you just might not be. If you are immediately reacting to another person’s suggestion, chill out and buy yourself time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • You might want to think through a decision. Let your creativity flow. Stay open to possibilities that appear in this haze. Verify what is happening behind the scenes.
