Horoscope for Dec. 27, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): Resist getting so caught up in your own needs or nervousness that you are unable to observe what is going on. When your mind is quiet, your perceptions will lead you to the answers.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be meeting with people you know little about. Your curiosity will open a door -- an interesting opportunity awaits you. If you’re going out, arrive at your destination early so you can get the lay of the land.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Just because you’re doing things at home with familiar people doesn’t mean you pull back your energy. You give your full attention and the best of your effort.
Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s a person whose attitude and decisions have shaped your life in many ways, good and bad. You’ll have compassion for this person, focusing on the positive aspects of the relationship and leaving the rest behind.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Inner conflict zaps your energy. Resolve the turmoil in your mind and you will have abundant reserves to call on. Then you’ll return to your vivacious self.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An acute restlessness moves you onto the fast track to adventure. You don’t have to suppress it, even if you can’t leave town at the moment. Do something you wouldn’t normally do to shake up the routine.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A firm handshake sets the tone for every new meeting, friendship or opportunity. Helen Keller once said about a friend, “I can feel the twinkle of his eye in his handshake.”
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There will be a displacement of the order you so enjoy. You’ll handle this beautifully. It’s an opportunity to let go for a second and let the wind carry you.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You won’t take your blessings for granted. It helps that you’ll be constantly reminded by envious friends exactly how lucky you are.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re no quitter, but you’ll be feeling the pressure. How you deal with it is the deciding factor that separates the winners from the “almosts.”
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A friend’s tendency to turn every conversation toward him or herself gets tedious. It’s not worth a confrontation, though. People are the way they are.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Luxury is an attitude, not a price tag. Treat yourself to a reward that has nothing to do with eating or spending.
Today’s birthday (Dec. 27): Stay on the lighter side of life. Your laughter will be important music in the universal soundscape. The next six weeks introduce you to an endeavor that is different from any you’ve experienced thus far. Go slowly. Your lucky numbers are 41, 2, 1, 50 and 17.
