HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, December 11, 2020: Serious, intense and influential, you are filled with thoughtful purpose. In 2021, you succeed where others fail. Laughter and fun help you along your emotionally challenging journey. If single, you can’t pretend to like someone — your feelings are written all over your face — so you don’t date unless you’re hooked. If attached, you’re devoted for years, often for a lifetime. More playfulness makes your relationship happier. GEMINI is your best playmate. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Prepare for a few secrets to come to light. A partnership is forming that could be a very important part of your future. Explore investments and other strategies to establish long-term financial security. Tonight: Well-mannered and talented people are drawn to you. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Others take action involving you. You gain a deeper awareness of who you are and what your life means today. It’s also favourable for settling any legal matters of other disputes amicably. Tonight: Take a glimpse into the motivations of others. Quite surprising. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Today accents the importance of you being in tune with yourself. Get a second opinion concerning diagnosis and health care options. All might not be as it seems initially. Associates impact your well-being. Tonight: Avoid those who are unwell or merely upset you.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): You’ll feel like taking a risk today. Use care in investigating the practicality of new schemes. Be receptive to growth, and all will be well. A business partnership at this time could be worth considering. Tonight: Others make suggestions regarding your home and finances. 

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Use diplomacy in arguments. It may be wise to remain silent today if angry. Don’t be concerned if you find you need extra rest and if there are delays. Allow light and casual friendship to replace depth in love. Tonight: Old resentments will melt away.
