IN THE STARS

ARIES

You are creative and will have ideas about new things to try. You’re also, unlike many in your group, bold enough to pitch them. You’ll start the ball rolling. Others will come forward after you do.

TAURUS

Don’t fuss or hesitate over today’s opportunities. They will be like fresh toast. Get it while it’s hot. Otherwise, it will harden as it cools, making each bite a crumbly mess.

GEMINI

You’ll be lucky today, although don’t expect to think so until weeks later when you look back on the events of Dec. 10 and realise their role in landing you in a position of good fortune.

CANCER

The day’s work will be a little like putting a stylish outfit together. It starts with wearing everything you think will work. You’ll change out of different elements, and strip away everything superfluous.

LEO

The same force of attraction that shapes the swirling universe at large is at the heart of all you create in your personal realm. Careful, as attraction can also cause greed and jealousy. Monitor your attractions.

VIRGO

The situation today is something like a marching band in which more than half the players are on key and in time. The ones who are off sort of make it a messy show, but it still sounds like music.

LIBRA

You don’t want the same thing as the others and, for this reason, you’ll find life a lot easier to manage. No lines, no inflated costs – you just go straight to the source and plunk down the money.

SCORPIO

Make it brief. Then you’ll be listened to. They may not understand it, because the spirit of brevity leaves much unexplained, but it’s better to have attention and questions than to have no audience.

SAGITTARIUS

Imagine a world in which you spend your days very differently than you’re spending them now. This thought exercise holds a drop of enlightenment if you go deep enough into it.

CAPRICORN

Maybe it takes a degree of education to bandy about high-flown statements, but everyone knows that education is not intelligence. Today’s best reason will come plain-clothed.

AQUARIUS

Instead of thinking of your failed projects as mistakes, think of them as school projects in the classroom of life. Generosity abounds from the standpoint of learning. You’ve earned many an A.

PISCES

You’re feeling sort of quiet, observant and reflective today. It’s comfortable for you, as well as being a good look for you. A caution: people will project their hopes and wishes into the space you’re holding.
