The last day of 2015 features a rather conservative Virgo moon, indicating responsible choices will also happen to be appealing ones. A harmonious lunar trine with chatty Mercury in confident Capricorn suggests that party talk may get competitive and status-oriented. The late night is ruled by an amorous Libra lunar influence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're honored to follow an excellent leader, but often the leader isn't excellent and you have to follow anyway. Lead yourself with the structure and discipline you expect from others and you'll soon take the top position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're good at managing money today, no matter whose it is. You'll be conservative with other people's funds and daring when it comes to your own. Risk more and win more!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Nervous energy has the potential to turn neutral information into negative conclusions and overwhelm you with internal chatter. Do what you can to calm down and good things will start happening for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just in case you're tempted to settle for an option you're not excited about because it seems to be the safe choice, the stars align to let you know there really is no safer choice than to follow your heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The pursuit of status isn't as shallow as it sounds now, because you won't be able to influence the group from a low position. Besides, you're not caught up in the chase: You're coolheaded, just playing the game.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be as lucky as you are aware. It's not always easy to distinguish good luck from bad, but staying alert to opportunity and responding quickly to everything that comes up will keep you in fortune's grace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As for forgetting those old acquaintances, usually you'd protest those lyrics, but, as it turns out, there are a few old acquaintances you'd be healthier to move on from. The drift apart starts now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You crave experience, and the cusp of this new year fills you with hope for future adventures. You'll have the most fun where there's a mix of generations and cultures in one place, celebrating together.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Looking fabulous is important to you and your efforts in this regard will pay off. Still, the best thing you'll wear is your mega-watt smile. It's truly the match that lights up the party.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your infectious attitude will earn you many followers, something you'll have mixed feelings about by the end of the night. With power comes responsibility!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It takes courage to lay your heart on the line. Then again, the potential gains you could get from telling someone how you really feel may overwhelm your desire for any other option.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When opportunity meets you for coffee, you don't let it pay. You'll show initiative, style and the kind of smiling attention that charms opportunity into coming around more often.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 31). Love has your soul singing. With strong enthusiasm and unwavering optimism your year gets off to a brilliant start. The life improvements you want for 2016 won't happen alone. Enlist qualified help and together a transformation is not only possible; it's as good as done. You'll buy, sell and make a profit in August. Leo and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 5, 34, 32 and 19.

FIRST KISS OF 2016: If you already have a set of lips designated for the event, disregard this 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: Pisces provides a soulful moment through parted lips! TAURUS: Lock lips with Libra and your heart will sing. GEMINI: Scorpio will show you a way of thinking about the world that has you going into the new year with a sense of wonder. CANCER: You'll be surprised by cool Capricorn's hot kiss. LEO: Aquarius is just your brand of fun tonight. VIRGO: Aries will bring fire and intense adoration. LIBRA: Cancer will send a message from your lips to your heart. SCORPIO: Gemini will charm you, make you laugh and leave you wanting more. SAGITTARIUS: A fiery Leo will match your intensity and then some! CAPRICORN: Virgo is the guest of the hour, so expect competition for this coveted kiss. AQUARIUS: Taurus has the kiss that inspires a hunger for more. PISCES: Electricity flies when you kiss a Sagittarius.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Global superstar Psy had more views of his video for "Gangnam Style" than YouTube was prepared to count. But can the trend continue? Psy's recent video "Daddy" got over 6 million views in the first 24 hours. Capricorn's best competition is himself and his last success. Psy has his natal sun and Venus in Capricorn, the sign of ambition and business savvy. Mars is in Leo, the entertainer.
