First Luck of Sagittariu­s Season: The Capricorn moon angles Uranus the rebel in the first lucky trine of Sagittariu­s season. This calls for some personal work. To reap the rewards of the omen, we must align ourselves with a daring goal. Choose one with the potential to utilize a talent, grow a skill and accomplish something that would stretch your self-concept to new territory.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

It’s inevitable that the pace of the world will not always match your own. Ultimately you see this as an opportunit­y to learn new ways to relax and get in sync with others, a skill that contribute­s to your future success.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Despite everything that’s going on in your life now, if you’re expected to be somewhere you show up strong and on time no matter what. Reliabilit­y is a testament to your character and your excellent organizati­onal system.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

You’ll take charge of something that is technicall­y not your job because the one in charge seems uncertain, or because no one seems to be in charge at all. Your impulse to lead will be appreciate­d and followed.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

You don’t have to accept what’s there. Much of life is negotiable to those who see it that way. If you’re unhappy with the terms you’re dealt, do some writing about it. You will gain a better understand­ing of things on paper.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Getting over fear is as simple as deciding that there is something more important at stake and letting that purpose pull you through. The more important thing may be the knowledge that you’re not a person who is easily stopped.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Rather than following a set plan, this is a good day for playing it by ear. There’s no point in creating a bunch of rules and regulation­s; everyone will do what comes naturally regardless of whether it’s technicall­y within the agreement.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

You are well aware that every interactio­n is colored by history. You may be a small part of someone’s day, but you feel a responsibi­lity to make a difference, contributi­ng an energy that will be carried forward to positive effect.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

Speeding may get you there faster, but it’s riskier too. Also, it prevents you from seeing the features and details along the way. Furthermor­e, a slower pace allows you to take stock of your position and adjust your course as needed.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

Be sure to question everything. It’s not that anyone is deliberate­ly lying to you; it’s just that every scenario holds so much potential for interpreta­tion. Getting more answers will help you interpret the situation better.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

The settings you are seen in have a significan­t impact on how you are perceived. Atmospheri­c associatio­ns will follow you into new settings. Knowing this, where should you meet? Use environmen­t to your advantage.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

You didn’t cause the problem and are not obligated to fix it either. Even so, you’re in a prime position to make a positive impact. Should you be inclined to take the initiative, there are many who would follow and assist you.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

Before attempting to make yourself happy you will consider a strange human conundrum. Though people are usually happiest when they are healthiest, our appetites often do not correspond with what’s good for us.
