Horoscope: Dec. 22

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today, you will get the chance at an opportunity that never was available to your parents. Seize it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Small steps would normally get you from point A to point B — but not today. You’ll need a running leap.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Unfinished business is too heavy of a mental weight. You can’t be happy and creative with this load on your mind. Tie up loose ends.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are a favorite playmate of the universe. Today’s game is vigorous and will engage your body and mind.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your meetings will be more important than you realize. Give yourself twice as much time to get ready as normal, and psych yourself up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You obeyed authority, served the boss and put in your time doing thankless tasks. You paid your dues; now you stand tall today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are used to enjoying yourself — some days less than others. If you want to live a life of higher quality, give a greater level of attention to your endeavors.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Better to do one thing completely today than attempt many and leave them unfinished. It will bring you good fortune and satisfaction.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be amazed at the people who find success more challenging than failure. You, on the other hand, take to winning like you were born to do it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): External events will be more easily ignored than internal mental chatter, but you shut out both in favor of finishing something that is very important to you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your perspective is different from how others experience life. You must distance yourself now to decide what is truly important.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Something you do effortlessly is of great value to another person. Recognize what it is, and deliver it to the one who needs it. You’ll make a difference.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 22): You’ll move up in the world. Authority figures who once challenged you will extol your virtues. In January, you’ll use your power to help someone attain what you have. There’s a trip in March and a windfall in October. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 30, 11, 3, 33 and 18.
