Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012: This year you often will go to extremes. In the process of doing so, you couldn’t care less. It is how you feel after the fact that will cause you to employ some self-discipline. If single, your desirability speaks for itself. If attached, the two of you blend together well. You can count on your sweetie. Taurus can be seductive yet difficult. A baby born today has a sun in Capricorn and a moon in Taurus if born after 10:25 a.m. Before that time, the moon is in Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Your wildest dreams could not predict the importance of being money savvy today. As you weigh the pros and cons of an indulgence, an unexpected expense heads in. Hopefully, the path not involving an either/or choice appears.
