Happy Birthday for Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024:

You march to the sound of your own drum because your personal freedom matters. You’re adventurous, passionate and strong in your beliefs. Focus on service to others this year, especially family. This means you have to take care of yourself so you can be a support to others. Is it time for a makeover?

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Travel restrictions or legal matters might get you down. Instead, focus on relations with bosses and authority figures. These people will be sympathetic to you. In fact, a flirtation or romance might begin with someone in a position of authority. (Could be interesting.) Tonight: Friendships.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★★
You might be at odds with a friend or a group right now about shared finances, shared property or shared responsibilities. This is discouraging. Fortunately, travel plans look favorable! And more than that, romance with someone who is “different” might promise excitement. Hmmm. Tonight: You’re noticed.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Relations with partners and authority figures might be stressful right now. (Join the club; we number in the millions.) Instead, go with what works, and that will be passionate relationships and, ironically, serious discussions about how to share jointly held property. Who knew? Tonight: Explore!

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
Matters related to your health or your job could be a bummer right now. It might be a real challenge dealing with authority figures. Put a pin in that. Instead, focus on warm relations with partners, spouses and close friends, because things can be romantic and friendly today. Tonight: Check your finances.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Issues with your kids, especially about money or shared property, might be tough. Likewise, romance might be a rocky road right now. On the upside, relations with co-workers are warm and supportive. In fact, you may want to help someone today or, vice versa, they will help you. Tonight: Cooperate.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★★
There’s no question that relations with parents and issues at home and dealing with family members and partners are strained at the moment. This might even relate to something from the past or relatives being back on the scene. Fortunately, fun socializing and romance offer a fabulous escape today! Tonight: Work.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
Tread carefully today. Don’t make a big deal about things. Although you like harmony, you are an excellent debater. Resist the urge to try to win an argument and prove your point today, because it will create further friction. Instead, entertain at home and enjoy family relations. Tonight: Socialize!

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
You might be disappointed about finances. You might feel at odds with someone about a financial matter, or you might have a dispute about the ownership of something. Put that aside. Instead, enjoy good times with neighbors, siblings and relatives. Even your daily environment is attractive. Tonight: Relax.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Difficulty with others is discouraging. You feel world-weary. This is understandable. Instead, swing your focus to financial matters today, perhaps shopping, because you’ll be delighted with purchases or imaginative ways to boost your income. Check the Moon Alert. Tonight: Discussions.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★★
Although you might feel stressed about something going on behind the scenes, today the Moon is in your sign along with fair Venus, which polishes your social skills and makes you attractive to others. You’ll find it easy to relate to everyone. Oh yes, you are loved. Tonight: Check your belongings.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Issues with a friend or a group are tough right now, and this bothers you because you like to get along with your friends. Nevertheless, privately, you’re OK. In fact, some of you are more than OK, because you’re enjoying a secret love affair. Tonight: You win!

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★★
Matters related to parents and bosses are tough right now. Every time you open your mouth it feels like you hit a brick wall. Let’s face it, these discussions are annoying. Instead, focus on friends and groups to which you might belong. These relationships will be warm and rewarding. Yes! Tonight: Solitude.
