Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 16, 2013: This year you experience a lot of interpersonal communication. Prioritizing becomes even more important than it has been in the past. You will need to screen your calls often if you are to complete a project. If single, you have many opportunities to go out. You are unlikely to commit, but if you do, it will be no sooner than summer. If attached, make sure your multifaceted social life does not interfere with your relationship with your significant other. Respect your differences, and everything will be good in your romantic world. Gemini likes to play devil’s advocate. A baby born today has a sun in Sagittarius and a moon in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Your inquisitiveness will come out. Someone might not give you all the facts, or perhaps you could misunderstand where this person is coming from.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You could have an edge to your voice or a hardness in your expression that others pick up on, and you might not even be aware of it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • You’ll barrel right through a difficult moment. Know that a misunderstanding is at the base of the problem.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • Go within yourself for answers, especially as they won’t be easily available. You might wonder what the source of your irritation is, or you could question what you are feeling.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Confusion could lead to taking a step off the right path, but it will be one that is correctable. In fact, this mini-blunder could give you a lot of information about someone.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Pressure builds, and you could go on autopilot without even realizing it. Slow down, or choose a reliable stressbuster to relieve the tension.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • Keep reaching out to someone you care about. This person might have been distancing him- or herself as of late.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Deal with a partner directly. Realize that you might need to have a talk about your finances and your chosen direction with a different key person in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • You might feel as if you have to defer to someone else. You actually might be misreading the situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Dive headfirst into whatever you must do, whether it involves working on a project or running errands.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Your creativity will emerge as a result of a misunderstanding. You might need to keep the peace or at least distract others from what is happening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • You might be taken aback by your anxiety. You could feel very uptight about what is going on, more so than usual.
