FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating.

Horoscopes by Holiday for December 31

The decade goes out on a high note. Not only will there be a full Cancer moon to maximize our emotions, but it also happens to be the second full moon of the calendar month, making it a blue moon, too. And to compound the rarity, there will also be a partial lunar eclipse! Though old acquaintances may or may not be "forgot," this night will not be.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take control of your mood. Get in charge of your emotions — they are your power source. The ability to control your own state of mind is the ingredient for success.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do you believe in magic? The unexplained will happen. You can search for a reasonable explanation, and you might find one. But it's more fun to accept the magic as a metaphor and go on your merry way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your relationships will be the focus of your end-of-the-decade review. Certain incidents of the past 10 years will pop out as highlights. Note what you want to create more of and you'll attract it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don't have to be doing anything special in order to shine as your best self. Just walking across a room is an activity that allows your light to radiate. And you'll meet people who aren't afraid to tell you how wonderful you are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your energetic investments pay off like a slot machine today. So pay attention to which machine you're playing. The nickel slots can only pay you back in nickels. Choose wisely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Risk rejection. It's an inevitable part of being human, though when you cease being afraid of it, it happens a lot less often. So be courageous. Reach out to the one who makes you nervous.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It's a special night — one to remember. You'll send the last decade out with style. Also, you will make eye contact with someone and for the first time really see the soul that's behind those pretty windows.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll be very attractive tonight, and there will be those who want to monopolize your time. Flit from person to person. Mingle. You benefit from getting to know as many people as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You want constant change. Then you want security. You want to be organized. But then you want the freedom of not having to stick to a structure. Miraculously, you'll get what you want when you want it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Keep dreaming, and don't worry if your plans for the new decade are hugely ambitious.

Once you start working, you'll have the support of a knowledgeable crew of people. All you'll have to do is reach out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be in the company of intellectually stimulating people, and this puts you in an enterprising mood. Many terrific ideas will come to you as you socialize among your peers. Write them down lest you forget!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the ability to relate to people from all walks of life, and you'll be using that skill this afternoon to get a few important details squared away before the year, and the decade, comes to a close.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 31). Create a little mischief! Your originality is so appealing. You'll come up with solutions that no one else will think of. A new endeavor will excite you in May. Though you'll start out with meager skills, you'll emerge as a force to be reckoned with. In June, you'll get the necessary financing to do what you need to do. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 24, 31, 52 and 48.

WHO TO KISS WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES TWELVE? If you already have a set of lips designated for the event, disregard the advice. But for those adventurous singles who still haven't decided on the issue of whether or who to kiss, here's an astrological suggestion. ARIES: A fiery Leo will match your intensity and then some! TAURUS: Capricorn is a class act who has fun breaking the cordial tone once in a while to do something zany. GEMINI: You will be able to hear the music of your heart when you lock lips with Libra. CANCER: You're in your element with the full moon in your sign, and fellow water sign Scorpio really gets you tonight. LEO: Aries will have just the playful attitude you'll be looking for tonight. VIRGO: Aquarius gives you a run for your money, and you love the challenge. LIBRA: Gemini's friendly charm is so appealing. SCORPIO: Cancer is stunningly attractive and very much the man or woman of the hour. SAGITTARIUS: Pisces provides a soulful moment through parted lips! CAPRICORN: Sensual Taurus holds magic in that pucker. AQUARIUS: Virgo's kiss is simultaneously exhilarating and sweet. PISCES: Electricity flies when you kiss a Sagittarius.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Capricorn people are generally goal oriented, and for NBA superstar and gold medal Olympian LeBron James that means scoring big time for the Cleveland Cavaliers. This ambitious Capricorn with his moon in fiery Aries is not only a star on the court. He's also graced the cover of Vogue and was such a smooth host on "Saturday Night Live" that he was praised by Lorne Michaels for his versatility.
