Horoscope: Dec. 26
Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be a rebel, willing to stand up and announce that you don’t accept the prerequisites being dealt to you and your group. There will be many who agree with you.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Mother Teresa once said: “If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.” You’ll push past your previous emotional limits and find freedom and happiness.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Never mind the naysayers. You’ve already made a decision to tackle your challenge, and all that remains is to follow through. You won’t feel completely relaxed until it’s done.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): People let you into their world because they see you as someone who can get things done. You are friendly, even when you have a serious purpose.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You woke up feeling like you could cure swine flu by sundown. A confidence like this doesn’t come every day. Make the most of it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be an expert negotiator, and if you choose the right battle, you can do some good not only for yourself but for an entire group. Ask this question before you proceed: Is the potential gain worth the trouble?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You come across as easy to talk to, and that’s why people around you will seem to have loose lips. Children will impart funny, surprising and honest words.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A dispute is stirring. Give it some airtime before it grows into something disruptive. Good communication stops little misunderstandings from turning into big ones.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Though your actions may be the same, your reasons for acting will be different. You’ll make progress where you were once thwarted.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be moving more slowly, but it’s not because you’re feeling sluggish. What’s really going on is that you like to savor things. This is a welcome change of pace.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are capable of feeling any way you want. You’ll just have to remind yourself. Morning melancholy will be a temptation, but even if you “go there,” it will burn off by midday.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The people who need your opinion aren’t asking for it. You could take hold of the situation, but is it really the best use of your time? Consider carefully before you get involved.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 26): You decide to stay on the lighter, brighter side of life, and you continue to get happier through the year. A fresh income source opens in March. Family ties connect you to good fortune in April. June features a loving promise. Family additions happen in September. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 5, 42, 30 and 18.
