FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2010 JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN
BIRTHDAY | DEC. 17 HOROSCOPE
You rise to your own high standards this year, so don’t forget to reward yourself. You’ll
be the darling of your work environment in January. March brings a conquest that you’ll be talking about for years to come. May brings romance and tenderness. July is your chance to show the world what you can do. Aquarius and Libra people adore you.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). What if you demanded absolutely nothing of yourself for a whole day? This isn’t the day for it because you already have so much on your plate, but you can plan a do-nothing day next week.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20). Maybe it’s not the deadline that’s driving you, or the audience or your boss. When you take away the pressure to perform, what you’ll have instead is the sheer will to do so.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21). How many leads can you generate? How many sales come from those leads? These kinds of numbers games will excite you. And you have an unusual approach to them, too. You’ll play the odds and change.
CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22). A friend becomes the subject of your thoughts. It has been a long while since you connected with this person, and it will bring you good fortune to do so now.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN STAN LEE & LARRY LIEBER
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). When you think too deeply about it, ordinary discourse becomes layered with intrigue and complication. You’ll be more productive if you stay sensible and tend only to the most pressing issue of the moment.
TANK MCNAMARA JEFF MILLAR & BILL HINDS
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You rarely nap during the day, but you might make an exception. After a 20-minute catnap, you’ll emerge more creative, stronger and more tolerant of those around you.
WATCH YOUR HEAD CORY THOMAS PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 23). You’ll see an opportunity that others don’t. Because of this, you’ll stand alone. It will feel odd at first, but make no mistake: The advantage is all yours. If you’re the only one going for the position, you’re bound to win.
BABY BLUES NON SEQUITUR WILEY RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT
SCORPIO (OCT. 24-NOV. 21). You’re a giver, and you will be happiest in the act of giving. It will only take one small act to make someone else happy. And when you see their smile, it brightens your day.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). Somehow it’s easier to be happy about a gift if you feel that you are the only one in the world who has it. This is something to be mindful of as you shop for your loved ones today.
ON THE FASTRACK BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE BILL HOLBROOK
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). If you’re judging someone else, it means there is a part of you that wants to have or be the very thing that you’re judging. You’ll move past this by going for what you want instead of criticizing those who have it.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER STEPHAN PASTIS
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Great news: Any problem that was created by you can be solved by you. And if you didn’t create the problem, you might still be able to solve it after you recognize and change your part in it.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). You can benefit from getting lost, especially if it’s in a small enough place that you can easily find your way out. A library, bookstore, gym or workshop will provide the perfect opportunity for getting lost within reason.
