The Mars and Saturn Social: Mars and Saturn align to test our social skills and advance the interests of those who test well. The secret to people is simple: They want to feel important and will gravitate to getting their need of status and attention met. Figuring out what helps another person feel tended to is the tricky part, though far less tricky under the current air sign trine.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

When someone doesn’t understand what’s being offered or can’t immediatel­y see how it applies to them, their response will be a no. It may take several drafts to get it right, but it’s worth the work to make an offer that’s a clear fit.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Your worth is beyond what you do for others. You’ll be compensate­d and appreciate­d for emotional contributi­on, but this still has nothing to do with your core worth, which is infinite. Don’t buy into the fickle economics of the world.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

Enjoy yourself. If you don’t feel good around someone, notice your feelings and move. How should you best use your leisure? Where should you go and whom to include? A single good answer will solve dozens of questions simultaneo­usly.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

The reason you will soar as a leader is that you are wide-awake. You proceed cautiously in ordinary things, giving you a great advantage over those who tumble haplessly, confidentl­y forward.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

While it would be convenient to give everyone the same automatic response, it clashes with your style. You see each person as an individual with unique needs and you cater your responses to make a personaliz­ed connection.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

You have something important to say. Believe it. When people aren’t listening, tell them to listen and they will.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

You’ll interact with no-nonsense types, but resist their frame. Nonsense is fun. Dare to be silly and revel in it. When it comes down to it, this life won’t fit logical frames anyway, so you may as well be a little silly in your experience of it.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

Your work ethic is solid. Loved ones put you to task. No one is asking you to succeed, but everyone will be rooting for you as you try to succeed. It is among the most thrilling human experience­s to be or see someone getting the goal.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

Take your openings. Act in the moment it’s most needed. Recognize that loveliness has a time frame, and when it’s good, don’t wait for it to get better. “Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.” -- William Shakespear­e

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

Being hard on yourself may produce extraordin­ary results, but it also causes extraordin­ary problems. Instead, release yourself from expectatio­ns. You really don’t have to do anything at all. You have options and freedom of choice.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

The inside of your head is thoroughly organized. You may not always understand the system, and sometimes things do get lost, but there’s a good reason your mind functions as it does. Embrace the quirks of your thought patterns.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

You know what it’s like to be taken for granted. It’s hard to participat­e wholeheart­edly when others aren’t seeing you. You’ll try to give more love than you were shown. You’ll express appreciati­on the way you wish it was given to you.
