Horoscope: Dec. 30

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be presenting yourself to those who are distracted. Don't put up with it. Turn and walk. If that doesn't get their attention, do something that will. You deserve an undivided focus.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will confidently accept the love that comes. While others may be embarrassed by attention, you take it in stride, not letting it inflate or deflate you. You remain solidly yourself whatever comes at you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Buttering someone up to get what you want isn't necessarily an evil manipulation. Sweetness, kindness, flattery and smooth handling may simply be what's required to make things fit together.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Because you can be so sensitive, you sometimes take another person's neutrality toward you as a negative. It's not. Be glad for neutrality. When people like or dislike you, that comes with a set of expectations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The strong can master others. The powerful can master themselves. Strive for the latter. Any work you do to increase your discipline will greatly improve a relationship that's gotten out of hand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your soul is joyful, and therefore the world is interesting to you. Those who are not in such positive spirit will find it difficult to light upon points of interest. Would you be so kind as to guide them?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you can't do what you want to do, maybe you should just do what you can do. This is a day of hope, optimism and ideas. With the right attitude, you'll be unstoppable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The world is largely run by false situations today. Your job is to find the true parts and put enough of them together to make it work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some don't believe in guilty pleasure, stating that if it's good for you, it's good. Be careful not to judge your pleasures against what you think others find enjoyable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your mind is a theater now, and you'll create quite a play there. Though this may seem more fanciful than could apply to real life, rest assured it really does!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There is something you would like to confide in a wise person, but you're not sure you know one you can trust. Reach outside your circle to a stranger who has nothing to gain or lose by advising you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Align yourself with people who are willing to work. Here's the beautiful part: Those who are unwilling to work will change their minds once they are in the minority. They will follow the crowd and like it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 30). The warrior in you is not stuck with one way of achieving a victory. You are flexible. You'll keep moving and adjusting until you discover the way to win. The supportive relationships you create in January will lead to new business and March profits. Romantic love makes you giddy in April. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 44, 39, 14 and 37.
