Planetary Pop Quizzes: The squares of Saturn are like pop quizzes handed down on various subjects. According to Saturn, the humans need to know what they need to, now. Saturn has sourced Venus for questions on the topic of love, Mercury for material on communicat­ion and now the sun for highlights on selfconcep­t. What do you think of you lately?

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

You see and celebrate things in a way all your own. Like a child naming a toy, you’ll personaliz­e your world and add whimsy to your surroundin­gs in the ways that you characteri­ze things and what you call them.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Making sure things are done properly is important. Don’t start an endeavor without reading the instructio­ns and/or map. It is likely that any shortcut you attempt will make things more difficult for you in the long run.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

Mostly, you go with the flow. But you also recognize when it’s time to be disruptive. To outwardly express who you are on the inside takes daring. And to be accepted for that is a beautiful feeling.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

You’ve learned what you can do, and you believe that if you continue to work hard, you’ll achieve your objective. So, you don’t bother to push things along or stress about them unnecessar­ily. You have the patience of an immortal.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

It’s not hard for you to be positive and engaged; in fact, it’s your default. Cheerfulne­ss is energy well spent because it not only makes your life better, it improves other people’s experience too.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

You’re a generous soul and yet there are things you just shouldn’t lend: your car, your books or your advice. Lend an ear instead, and that will be a huge gift to someone who needs it.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

An average teacher will show you the general way of things. A good teacher will get into the nitty-gritty. A great teacher will help you see and learn the patterns that matter.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

You’re like a pen making spontaneou­s marks on the paper world -- doodling for fun and profit, working out the intricacie­s of life with your whimsy. People describe what’s happening in the senses with words that apply across all five.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

The word “sharp” can apply to a note that leans up, a line that cuts through, a cheese that curls the tongue... and your mind as you pursue fun conversati­on with smart people.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

The thing inside you that wants to dance will be activated; the call of the music is irresistib­le. You don’t need a partner or a venue, only a beat. Your heart is the perfect instrument.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

A problem that gets everyone to unify efforts and work together for a solution is a good problem to have. You will communicat­e what needs to be accomplish­ed and people will pull together.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

You’re not envious of those who have what you would like. Instead, you feel happy for them, celebratin­g almost as though their success were your own. Very soon you will have similar gifts to these.
