Horoscopes: Friday, December 2, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a big heart. You can't help but accommodate those who live inside it. If you don't get to the goal, it's because your loved one needed you more. You thought that was more important, and you were right.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll work from sun to moon - no "casual Friday" for you. In your efforts, you'll prove just how strong you are. Determination and tenacity are so much a part of your makeup that everyone comes to expect it from you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People have surprised you in good and bad ways. Now, you can predict some behaviors you wish you couldn't. But you can, and you should.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You're happiest in a thriving space that lives and grows along with you. The maintenance, the updates - approach them with the right attitude, and they bring you pleasure and satisfaction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is not a day to buy or sell anything in haste. Do your research. Wait to get the best price. An attitude of nonchalance doesn't hurt either. You're in a good position, but not if you don't believe it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're a citizen of the world, and your manners will be your passport. There are cultural differences to consider. Intention counts. You don't have to get it perfect to get it right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The best people you know have a dark side, and the worst people you know can be kind and wonderful, too. Your capacity for understanding the complexities will help you manage the day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A world in emotional order can plunge into unpredictable chaos with one exciting dynamic. Such things can be like thrilling carnival attractions. Do not fear: Use your ticket to ride.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Make thoughtful decisions. Stave away the fever of impulsivity. If you feel yourself acting rashly, pause. You will feel different in a few hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Haggling for what you need can be a long, tedious process if the people involved just can't give it to you. Maybe they don't have it. Turn elsewhere and hang on for big, beautiful results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Quiet observation is called for. Tune into your nearest and dearest. Read the small changes in a loved one's behavior and draw a conclusion. Then keep it to yourself. Watch to test the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The relationship that doesn't help you is hurting you, taking up your valuable attention. If you had a void there, you would fill it with more helpful forces.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 2). Professional adventures are so thrilling that you may put key parts of your life on the back burner while you pursue ambitions in this regard. Reward the loyal loved ones who support you through this. You'll love what comes from it in May. July is your chance to double down and invest in something exciting. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 49, 47, 26, and 31.
