HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, December 15, 2017: This year you take the time to review various concepts and interactions. You recognise the possibilities and the difference in your perspective versus others’. If you are single, you might stumble into a relationship that is contentious. After the summer, you could meet someone much more appropriate for you. If you are attached, your significant other starts acting more like you. Take this behaviour as a compliment. A decision you make as a couple will have major significance. SAGITTARIUS provides good financial information, though his or her ideas could be risk-laden.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): To a key person in your life, you seem as if you are stuck in a fantasy world. You might have a more-progressive view of communication. Rather than looking for differences, enjoy this person and learn from him or her. Tonight: Listen to some good music in a different way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your perception of an issue is still being molded, whereas the other party involved seems to have opted to ignore the problem. Think twice about working with this person closely, especially when it comes to taking financial risks. Tonight: Add more intensity to the mix.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): One-on-one relating takes you to a new level of understanding. Your innate reaction to someone’s sharp comment could be a bit dramatic and rebellious. Think before you act out. What response will serve you best? Tonight: Go along with the Friday-night rituals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): No one questions your depth; however, at times others might judge your changeability as flaky. Resist trying to defend yourself, and know that people will understand your process soon enough. Try to envision what it would be like to walk in someone else’s shoes. Tonight: TGIF!

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Focus on a creative project that you have started working on. If you are in the midst of an evolving romance, you are likely to be very into the other party. Your children could be a source of laughter and fun. Thank goodness for your sense of humour! Tonight: Go with the flow.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): If you’re feeling off, you might want to call in and stay home. You could trigger a lot of confusion wherever you are. Can the workplace handle so much uproar right now? Keeping your distance might demonstrate greater effectiveness and sensitivity toward others. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): You will want to rethink your perspective on a relationship with someone younger. This person might not be getting your message at this point in time. Instead of forcing the issue right now, consider having a chat of significance at a later date. Tonight: Enjoy the here and now!

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Be willing to think through a money matter in different and/or new terms. You don’t have to agree with the conclusion, but you will understand the process that creates a certain type of thinking. Given some time, you’ll find a solution. Tonight: Celebrate the night and the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your larger-than-life attitude might work well for you; however, someone close to you seems almost frightened and overly worried when you express your thoughts. Listen to what is being shared, and learn more about this person. Tonight: An adventure calls to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You are likely to overhear a secret or a matter that is meant to be kept hush-hush. You might want to pretend that you did not see or hear anything in order to help the other party maintain his or her composure and sense of well-being. Tonight: Not to be found.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): What you want might not be attainable at this point. Keep the faith, and you will see that your wish materialises soon enough. Be calm and collected when dealing with others, especially in a meeting. Choose to say less for now. Tonight: Join a friend or two for dinner and drinks.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): Allow greater give-and-take between you and others. You will want to be extra sensitive to a friend’s moodiness, as misunderstandings can happen easily. You might not be able to get your viewpoint communicated, but given some time you will! Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
