Horoscope: Dec. 1
Aries (March 21-April 19): The pressure is on. With the clock ticking, everyone watching and the whole team counting on you -- that’s just how you like it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your gift for prediction is uncanny. You seem to know where things are headed long before everyone else does. This kind of knowledge reflects a deeply intuitive and very helpful gift.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): While some around you will be fascinated with vapid, transitory things, for you the important stuff is what doesn’t change: who you love and your spirituality for starters.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You will rein in some of the extreme behavior of your youth. The deep plummets aren’t worth the breathtaking heights.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s nothing wrong with going against the flow. You won’t feel like being a follower today. You’ll prefer to make your own fun in your own time.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are the first to be called on by a friend in need. There are two reasons for this: One is your loyalty and genuine desire to help, and the other is your extraordinary resourcefulness.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You remember a time when big projects seemed insurmountable, but through determination and experience, you see them as highly rewarding. This is a sign of your maturity and tenaciousness.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Never satisfied with “good enough,” you put everything you have into a project and aim for the best. The pursuit of perfection is basic to your personality.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are yearning for something new. Just what, you can’t say, but a fuzzy outline is beginning to take shape in your mind. It will come of its own accord.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not quite time to break out the Champagne, but you can start polishing the glassware. You’ve worked long and hard for this, and the moment of celebration is at hand.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll get highly favorable reviews. You’re not putting on a show or doing anything calculated, you’re just being yourself.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are often sensitive to other people’s feelings, even to the point of reading their moods in a gesture. Today your intuition is even more keen than usual.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 1): You will be looking and feeling fantastic. With steady progress through the next two months, your habits support your image of who you want to be. This month you’ll meet someone who understands you and can help you develop your talents. The end of January brings romance. February’s business idea is a winner. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 4, 17 and 40.
