Horoscope: Dec. 2

Aries (March 21-April 19): You are beginning to break out of an established routine. This is an uphill battle, but once you get to the top, the view makes it all worthwhile.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You feel like the universe is pinching you right now, but it’s just a growing pain. You are in the process of revamping the way you see the world. Just a little bit, but it’s a significant little bit.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Spontaneously breaking into song isn’t something you typically do, but today you just might. Your life is so upbeat that it really could use a soundtrack.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Sometimes you get so excited you can barely keep it together. Not many people can be this free. Your friends love you for your ability to be completely, unabashedly thrilled.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have been watching a conflict between two people in your circle develop over time. You feel like you might be able to sort out the situation. You are about to get that opportunity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The friendly chatter around you is a cozy reminder of your good fortune. The universe has selected you for good luck and comfort.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): While some will feel like they have to whirlwind themselves around to get things done, you’ll move steady and sure.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You may be accused of being hard to please. Your standards are high. And you can be sure that when the work is good enough to impress you, it will impress others too.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your kindness will magnify itself, both through the goodwill it brings and through its power to make people believe in the goodness of the universe.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You were once delighted by people who defied expectation, but now you see this as a waste of energy. You’ll be drawn to stable, secure people who also happen to be a lot of fun.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are already doing great. If others have the nerve to call your effort merely “good,” you might get annoyed. Use this as the fuel you need to continue pushing yourself even more.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The challenge isn’t finding a dream. The challenge is finding the time to pursue your dream. Start small and work at your vision just a little bit. You’ll be shown where to go next.

Today’s birthday (Dec. 2): You’ll make strong connections this month. The shared adventures will bring memories for a lifetime. In the spring, you’ll be a star at work. You are different from the others and will be recognized for unique talents. Windfalls come in April and August. Commitments happen in June and September. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 42, 15, 28 and 19.
