Islamabad, Thursday, 08 December, 2005

 

 
ARIES (March 21-April 19) TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Spiritual and mystical concerns claim your attention today. (Deep voice from above. “Oh my goodness. Is that you, Fred?”) Varieties of not-so-mainstream subjects intrigue you today. You also might want to use your influence in publishing or the media to help someone.
.

You feel sympathetic to the needs of those who are less fortunate. Because of this, you might persuade others to join you in alleviating somebody’s problems. You’ll pool your efforts. You might use something that somebody else owns to help another.
 

GEMINI (May 21- June20) CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

You feel sympathetic to a partner or close friend today. You want to help. Quite possibly, a close friend or partner is extending help to you. Either way, there’s a strong mutual sympathy that you share with someone today. This is a good thing. (Try to borrow 20 bucks.)
 

You feel like a regular do-gooder at work today. This is not corny. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Quite the opposite. We need more people like this, especially in the workplace. Be kind and responsive to co-workers today. Wonderful. (Outta my way — that’s my elevator.)
 

LEO (July 23 - Aug.22) VIRGO (Aug.23 - Sept. 22 )

Two primary influences are at play. Anything to do with the arts and your creativity will shine today! However, you also feel sympathetic to the needs of children. Why not exchange children’s gifts as gags at your office party? Then rewrap them and send them to a Christmas stocking fund. (Great Leo idea.)
 

You have an opportunity to help a family member today. Even a sympathetic ear means a lot when a person needs to unload or confide. You might buy something quite gorgeous for your home. The others spin is that you might need somebody else’s help.
 

LIBRA (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov.21 )

Your imagination is in overdrive. The creative possibilities are endless. You also feel empathetic and intuitive to others. Take the time to listen if someone wants to confide in you. Possibly, this person is a relative or a sibling. (Now you’ll get the dirt.)
 

You want to be a hermit today. (“Oh no! Not the paparazzi again!”) Get out your Jackie O sunglasses. Lift your collar. Hide behind this newspaper. Do the crossword while you pretend to read the financial section. You need a few moments by yourself today.
 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21) CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You might not feel like working today. You feel a bit otherworldly. You’re daydreaming. You’d rather be somewhere else. If approached by people in need, you’ll respond sympathetically. Your ideals are aroused. You’re thinking big, lofty thoughts. Remember, above all else, sky.
 

Conversations with others, especially female acquaintances, might be disappointing. Don’t expect too much. We are all frail human beings, and we have our good days and our bad days. That’s life in the passing lane. Be tolerant of others and of yourself today.
 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18) PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)

This is a wonderful day for any kind of warm, friendly exchange with someone. It might be with a friend you know. By contrast, you might work with others on behalf of a needy group of people or an individual. This is a kind of thing you were born to do. Rally the troops for a noble cause!
 

Whatever you do today will be high viz. People see you want to help others, and set a dignified role model, which can be emulated or followed in the hopes that more good things can be done. This is good! Empty bellies need to be fed. Especially the very young and the very old.
 

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Comic/actor Steven Wright (1955) shares your birthday. You’re extremely capable. You work hard at whatever you choose to pursue. You’re well-organized, realistic and resourceful. You seek out practical solutions. You want things to go the way you plan them. (They often do.) The year ahead can be one of the most fortunate years of your life. Go forward, and open any door
