Horoscope: Dec. 1

Aries (March 21-April 19): You feel like you need to present an idea all fleshed out. But leave room for others to fill in some details with their imagination too.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have a terrific sense of purpose. There are people around who know the way to the prize you desire. Find out what they recommend.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You have two wonderful options available and there is no way to do both. Your conscience will be your guide.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are amazingly adaptable, especially when it comes to work. You’ll be making inroads in an area you know little about.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Self-consciousness is the enemy of creativity. Give yourself over to the spirit of your work — lose yourself in it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your approach softens today. You’re just not in the mood to move and shake — you’d rather whisper and glide your way through.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Intellectual knowledge is all well and good, but it’s not about learning solutions — it’s about living them.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are some kinds of crazy you simply should not be a part of. When the red flags go up, don’t take it as a warning — it’s a directive to run in the other direction.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have a stack of magazines that is growing by the month. You will be inspired to hit the highlights and then do your ecological duty at the recycling bin.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When you make the ethical choice, you win. Your gains may not be immediate, but they will be real and lasting.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be lucky when you enter a new and unknown arena. If you don’t know what can be done, you will stand out from the crowd.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): As the sign of the fish, you realize how difficult it is to swim against the tide. And yet sometimes it is necessary to head upstream.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 1): You don’t guess or wonder what to do next; you just know. Do what you really want to do this month: Rearrange your priorities and make it happen. Next month, there’s a favorable shift in your finances. A new family addition comes in March. July is your chance at a new professional position. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 40, 3, 11, 28 and 18.
