Horoscope - December 25, 2000

The full Gemini moon helps us see the totality of problems and learn what is needed in order to work toward a speedy resolution. Tensions are eased; feelings are released into the open. Love planet Venus forms a lucky aspect to fortune Jupiter, so nothing you say will bring harm. Dare to be direct. Even you could be surprised by what you feel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A well-timed financial offer sets the stage; the rest is up to you. Ask loved ones for opinions before you get roped into a friend’s scheme. Children equally need and deserve large amounts of your attention, so don’t be stingy with it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Romantic vibes are unmistakable; if you’re willing to hang in there long enough. Love thrills you this evening. Let off some steam.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s no reason to stoop down to your adversary’s level; alternate solutions are readily available if you explain everything to your superior. An outing with friends leads to an expected meeting. Refuse to compromise your principles.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give yourself time to get established in new surroundings. Family members would come through for you, but you’d rather not ask. Agree to disagree with a friend you highly respect in the evening – then forget about it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your head should rule over your heart now; that exciting love encounter is wonderful fun, but finances require close attention, too. Call someone’s bluff, and make big money. A partner requires lots of freedom – it doesn’t mean you’re not loved!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 25). A new level of self-acceptance makes abundance much easier for you to claim. Business continues to boom if you don’t let the success of the past this month get to your head. A windfall in March is connected to important family issues. You’re most likely to find true love in June of July, however. Your best signs for love are Gemini and Libra. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 24, 27, 39 and 5.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Concentrate on self-expression, big and bold is what the day’s about. Put perfectionism to a worthy cause. A petty argument will destroy a friendship; be big-hearted and forgiving. A romance with a co-worker could be dangerous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A desire for approval may have been motivating you in the past, but today you organize your life around true principles. Meet deadlines, and you’ll finally be able to repay a loan. Tonight, you’ll get the chance to speak your emotions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Pronounced intellectual capabilities are highlighted all day. Be careful to spread your focus over all pressing commitments; strong emphasis on one project leaves another unprepared. Tonight, you look out for you own interests first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Collaborate; you assume the helm later. A colleague’s attitude reflects insecurity. Make time for romance this afternoon. Money from a relative is given with expectation. A complete change of scenery would invigorate you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Choose the path toward knowledge instead of denial. What is perceived as painful is actually liberating. Love is likely with an Aries or Libra. Children need more structure in their current learning environment. Administer it for them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Special circumstances require you to reorganize your priorities. You are own worst critic; seek outside opinions. You’ll gain luck in investments this afternoon. Your analysts of a problem clarifies matters, but offering solutions is better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is not worth it to win in a battle of wits and destroy a friend’s ego in the process. Your employer needs you to explain how things work, but he or she is too proud to ask. The evening will bring thrills and excitement to your life.

HOLIDAY UPDATE – FINDING LOVE ONLINE PART I: The Internet is fast becoming one of the most commonly used datings tools, and this winter holiday will boasts more online-originated couples than any previous year. Here’s a sign-by-sign guide to getting the most out of the cyber pick-up scene! ARIES: Always daring, you take risks in cyberspace beyond what you would do in real life.

Keep a list of thoughtful questions handy to make every instant message count. GEMINI: You enjoy the search-and-qualify process more than the actual dating. You may not even decide to meet in person. CANCER: Searching in a very specific (and quirky) are of interest yields your best leads, even if the site has nothing to do with dating. LEO: Be ruthless in the screening process to compensate for your tendency to give people more-than-due credit. VIRGO: It would be too risky for most signs as Virgo, there would be no surprises if such an invitation were extended
