HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, December 13, 2016: This year you open doors to new opportunities. Just when you think an issue has been resolved, the unexpected occurs, and you might find yourself back at square one. You can count on being energised by spontaneous events. If you are single, you could find that you fall madly in love with one person after another. Let a relationship build to a time period of a year before even considering making a serious commitment. If you are attached, the two of you experience an unusual intensity. Know that eventually you both will relax with this tempo. GEMINI knows how to be provocative.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) What drops on your lap early on gets you going today. You might be surprised and delighted by another person’s gesture of goodwill. Your spontaneous reaction will please him or her. You’ll want to assess your current direction. Tonight: Hang out with a favourite friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be aware of the impact that a money decision will have on you. Somehow, you feel more in control if you say little. A partner or associate would be delighted to receive your feedback. You’ll gain insight through a sudden event. Tonight: Try not to spend. Keep your wallet closed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your smile goes far in opening up a close friend who has been closed down. Others seem to act in ways you can’t predict. You might be tenser than you realise, especially as this full moon hits you harder than most people. Work with the moment. Tonight: Do your thing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Know when to vanish and not get involved with others. The full moon hits you in a spot where you are very vulnerable. Know what works for you and do just that, despite an older relative’s demands. Do your best. Tonight: If you’re tired, make it an early night.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22)

Zero in on your priorities and know when you have had enough of someone’s flak. You might want to detach. As a result, you’ll come to a better understanding of the dynamic of a situation around you. There might not be any need to do anything about it. Tonight: Lie low.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22)

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)
