Horoscope: Dec. 12
Aries (March 21-April 19): This project you’re involved in is not a long race, but a series of short races. So you don’t have to train as though you’re going to run a marathon.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be bringing your A-game, but you may not be aware of exactly what you’re doing that’s so effective. Find a moment to note what went well and why.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Take your time before answering questions. Pause and give yourself a moment to think. And if you’re not sure you want to answer, pause, and someone else will fill in the blanks.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): The group accepts certain standards, and you’re not sure you agree. This isn’t a moral matter, but a matter of taste. You’re wise to be cautious and only make a move when you’re sure you feel good about it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Being self-sufficient equals happiness. You’ll come across people who want you to depend on them. They may be solid people, but that kind of relationship doesn’t interest you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Revisit the thing, person or place that made you smile in the past. The charge you get from positive environments and sentiments of all kind will give you vibrant energy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Whatever the status of your life, you will appreciate and celebrate it. If you’re single, you will love being single, and if you are part of a couple, you will see the beauty in that.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your mental batteries get charged at certain times. Make sure your hardest tasks are set during those windows of peak performance.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll have the chance to highlight wonderful things going on in your life. Keep spending time and energy there, and the less-than-desirable aspects of your life may just fade away.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The people with the wacky thoughts and misguided behaviors will be drawn to you. All you can do is love them and allow them to be who they are.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One way to resolve an issue is to do it clearly. But many things in life won’t wrap up so tidily. So if a relationship feels messy and unsettled, accept that it’s part of the process.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone will test your knowledge, skill or intelligence. Though you may find such drills to be nerve-racking, you will excel.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 12): You are an eternal student and will be intellectually and emotionally enriched by the parade of characters that march through your life. In the next three months, you will tackle impossible feats with the help of a crack team. You’ll form strong bonds in June. Finances improve in July. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 50, 32, 45 and 19.
