Horoscope: Dec. 6
Aries (March 21-April 19): Though you may feel you need a drastic change in your life, a series of small adjustments will get you closer to your goals. Decide on three steps you can take to align with your destiny.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your environment should comply with your wishes. Making this happen could be as simple as rethinking the design of your workspace. Make sure the tools you need are readily available.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): There are a handful of tasks begging for your attention, but not all of them are worthy of it. Consider which endeavor you feel the most enthusiasm for. That’s the one for you.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): Resolve not to take anything personally -- not criticism or praise. People will respond to a circumstance or outcome that involves you, but it’s not really about you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Welcome and listen to different points of view. You don’t have to agree with them in order to gain wisdom from them. You’re on track toward being a highly evolved human.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a way of stirring passion in others. There will be a point when you’ll want someone to calm down. Let him or her go on and on uninterrupted. Soon this person will come to a conclusion you can agree with.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): World peace begins with you. You will choose to be friendly whether or not it’s your first instinct. It’s easy for you to promote goodwill.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Saying “yes” to every interesting offer is not a good idea right now. What’s important is that you establish a clear direction. Buy time with a “maybe.”
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Though inwardly you recognize that things you’ve accomplished are great, when praised, you will wisely choose modesty. You come across as ingratiating and lovable.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Allowing a different person into your circle will spice things up. It changes the rhythm. Those you know well have a fresh and surprising reaction to the unfamiliar influence.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Beware of your urge to fix broken people! You can, however, inspire others to improve by being a shining example of self-betterment.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You and a partner agree on many matters. Once you start to count the ways in which you concur, the small areas of disagreement you encounter will seem minimal.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 6): The focus is on you for the next 10 weeks. You learn how to better cater to your own particular sensitivities, likes and dislikes. This self-knowledge leads you toward acts of generosity. Your talent for teaching and public speaking will be used frequently in 2010. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 49 and 18.
