Horoscope: Dec. 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): Little birds flit and dart; big birds fly slow and long. The point is not how you move but that you do. Use what you were given to fly in whatever style suits you best.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ve never had a problem with craving more attention than people were willing to give you. On the contrary: Finding time for yourself is your biggest challenge.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Someone who doesn’t know you well will be bemused by your response to things. Your complicated nature is what makes you so interesting.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You don’t know it, but you are making quite an impression right now. Something about you is causing your peers to lean into one another in hushed marvel.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If possible, leave your television and computer off today. The information superhighway is excellent for staying in touch, but the insight that comes from your heart will be even more valuable.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the handful of mini-crises you face today, don’t forget that underneath the parade of e-mails and phone calls and obligations, things are in capable, steady hands: yours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You won’t really understand what you aspire to until you try it on. You’ll get the chance to test drive the object of your desire. Act as if you own the place and perhaps someday you will.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You give your love, and you enjoy when it comes back to you. However, that it does come back to you isn’t mandatory for your enjoyment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It won’t be enough for you to stand on the sidelines of life and watch the action. You have to feel it for yourself: the mud, the blood, the sweat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your self-esteem could use a boost. Write down your recent accomplishments. The daily triumphs count -- like getting your kids off to school on time every day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A lull in the action is not a cosmic punishment. It’s a gift. Accept the peace and quiet, and let them heal you. Don’t worry about what’s next.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll get a hot financial tip. The get-rich-quick scheme may be more like a get-some-money-slowly plan, which is better than getting none at all.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 3): Your positive and conscientious approach to life will be celebrated. You’ll be promoted to a leadership role. The next three months feature a quest. Your interests lead you to places you’ve never been. You’ll fall in love in January -- or more deeply in love than you already are. Push yourself to personal victory in May. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 15, 49, 22 and 17.
