Horoscope: Dec. 9
Aries (March 21-April 19): On a day like this, you’re just not in the mood to share the intimate details of your soul -- or any of your germs, for that matter. So it’s air kisses all around.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Knowing how to relax is important. This can be a discipline in itself, and today you can afford to approach it as such.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): A happy melody is singing in your ears today. Whether it’s something familiar or something you’ve never heard, it’s a gift from the cosmos, come to lighten your spirits.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): You face a difficult problem, the type you shouldn’t try to figure out all in one day. It’s best just to sleep on it. It will be there tomorrow and might have untangled itself without any effort on your part.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Some things you just can’t hold on to, but that’s OK. Happy times, like the moments you take part in today, will live on in your mind.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Many try to make beauty look effortless; few succeed in pulling it off. It’s hard for you not to look put-together. Even if you’re just sneaking out to the coffee shop in sweats, you manage to turn heads.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You accept security when it’s offered to you today, but you won’t be inclined to take it too seriously. You can always count on yourself to do what you have to do to get by.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll stand in a crowd of people, most of them strangers, and feel as comfortable as can be. A natural at making conversation, you are well versed in creating spontaneous fun.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your wish for a change of venue is about to be granted. You might not be presented with the opportunity you were expecting, but it will be the right one for you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will display your talent for responding to every obstacle with serenity and goodwill. This makes you something of an unintentional conqueror.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your insistence on sticking to the point will win you friends and fans. No one likes a windbag who goes on and on about something no one cares about.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There is no shame in consulting an expert when confronted with an issue outside your field of knowledge. In fact, it’s a sign of good leadership. A worthy candidate will cross your path.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 9): Your public persona will sparkle. As you apply your charming talents to daily life, you will enchant and delight those around you. Make sure to capitalize on the lucky breaks you get this month and there will be more of them in June. May brings an important professional achievement. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 45, 5, 22, 41 and 19.
