Horoscopes: Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are many ways to call attention to what a person has done wrong, but the best way is often not to mention it at all. If you must, the mildest, lightest approach will be best. Give an out. Offer the chance to save face.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It would be wonderful to take all the time you need to decompress, but it’s not always possible. Cultivate a happy place in your mind because mental escape, while not as relaxing as physical escape, is convenient and effective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s normal to hit bumps in the road when you’re trying to figure a person out. It’s not a big deal if it happens in the middle of an interaction. Keep it chugging to smooth the way. Try to end things on a sweet note.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just because you understand your situation on an intellectual level doesn’t mean you’re processing it. It’s the courage to feel your feelings that helps you move along and heal. The only way is through.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Between what you need and what they need, there’s plenty to take care of today. You’ll handle one thing at a time and, by the end of the day, know that you handled it like a boss.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s a human instinct to make logical sense of illogical things. Resist the urge to come up with reasons for all that has happened. Some things are unknowable. Get comfortable with the mystery.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll share your story because there are people around you who need to hear it. This is another reason to take the time to figure out exactly how best to put it across. This is important and worth writing down and/or practicing aloud.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s like your life is on open-invitation and you’re not sure who is coming to the party, but it doesn’t matter because you’re the one making it fun. Also, getting ready is even more fun than the main event.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some relationships you pursue and others you are born to, thrown into or stuck with for any number of reasons. Fortune favors you taking an active role to connect with people you’re interested in knowing better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Freedom is a feeling. There are those with power and options who live in cages made of invisible materials. And there are those with very few options who soar with the highest-flying birds. Which are you?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re feeling social and will be motivated by the attention you get from others. You’re an energizing person to be around because wherever you go, you’re somewhere you really want to be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to be understood by everyone around to know that you’re a smart, funny treasure. The ones who are on your wavelength will give you affirming, adoring feedback that tells you all you need to know.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 31). You’re a genius at taking on the right problem at the right time. Perspective is the powerful tool that makes small things big and big things small. As you keep moving, you see things in the scale that allow you to dominate and win. More highlights: unexpected money, a career-changing open door and the deepening of key relationships. Pisces and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 7, 13 and 29.
