LOVE STARS FOR DECEMBER

by Margie Thillart

Sensational * * *
Stimulating * *
Satisfactory *

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20) * *
Divine intervention from the planets puts you back on track. And while you may not walk the straight and narrow path, you'll be keen to rebuild trust with your partner. Forgiveness also helps an errant relationship this month.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21) * * *
Your instinct is to cling to the past, but your stars suggest nothing will stay the same. If you can view obstacles as challenges and change as an adventure, the year will end on a surprisingly happy note.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21) * *
Your unrealistic expectations in a relationship may have caused feelings of failure. However, with lucky Jupiter in your sign a sudden reversal of fortune lifts your confidence and gives romance a much-needed boost.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23) * *
Others may ignore your arguments, but you'll insist on having the last word. Sun in sassy Sagittarius is to blame. It not only loosens your tongue, but it makes you more upfront and determined to have your way.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23) * *
Christmas comes early for your sign, with glad tidings putting you in the holiday spirit. Not only will your upbeat mood infect others, but it will also have a beneficial effect on your health and well-being.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23) * *
There's a fine line between happiness and heartache, so keep your emotions in check this month. The mood turns more mellow around Christmas and doubts about yourself or a loved one will fly out the window.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23) *
A spiritual connection between Neptune and Mars puts you in touch with people who instinctively know your needs. Loved ones and strangers alike will gravitate towards you, making you feel special and emotionally fulfilled.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22) * *
You usually keep your cards close to your chest, but this month you'll play more of an open hand. And while you may not reveal your innermost secrets, new levels of trust will be established with loved ones.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) * *
Sun and Mercury act as magnets, enticing new people and opportunities into your life. December is an ideal time to ties up loose ends and sever worn-out relationships, ready to start afresh in new year.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20) * *
Mars heightens your senses, making you more aware of the effect you have on others. Use this knowledge to your advantage, but only in an altruistic way. If you play games, there'll be a backlash later.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19) * * *
Venus portrays you in a flattering light, giving you more leverage in relationships and enhancing your career. Expect the year to end on a much more positive note than it began, especially if you were born in February.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20) * *
Someone may try to make you the scapegoat, but you'll be awake to the ploy. Your star shines brightly this month and you can expect to reach new levels of understanding with those you love most.
