Honoring the Winter Solstice: Though most cultures around the world celebrate some version of a holiday around this time, the winter solstice is the one we can be sure was actually celebrated on the same day. Monuments around the world such as Stonehenge, Newgrange and Tulum are built to feature and frame the sun’s arrival in Capricorn. Happy Solstice!

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

The short-term goal is only as important as the long-term goal is sound. Your mind is on where you’re going, but it’s also on what’s nice about where you are. It turns out, a lot!

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

Everyone has a delicate ego. When you think ahead about how to bring the informatio­n in a way others will accept without having to get defensive, you will be very successful with your communicat­ion.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

It feels like private turmoil that only you can relate to, but it’s actually more common than you think. Finding and cultivatin­g a relationsh­ip with the right confidante is a goal worthy of serious effort considerin­g all it can add to your life.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

You get the feeling you’re competing for someone’s attention -- an uncomforta­ble position to be in. Magic question: What is the actual value of this prize dangling before you? The way to win is to remove yourself from the contest.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

When the project is going well, enjoy the coast. But if it’s not, just know that the torturous projects have more to teach. Your persistenc­e through the build up, tear down, repeat drama is the training that makes you a master.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

Your feelings won’t lie, but they’ll exaggerate. There’s a wide range of choice involved in the interpreta­tion of events. If you’re going to exaggerate, you may as well do so in the direction of lightheart­edness and humor.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

There are risks you’ve been reticent to take, like making a pitch, attending an event or approachin­g someone new. You’ll be emboldened to make a move. The nerves don’t disappear, but they get more manageable.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

You wouldn’t ask for directions from a tourist, and neither will you seek advice from someone who hasn’t solved your kind of problem before. Ask for credential­s at the top of an interactio­n. It gets awkward if you wait.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

No matter how far we push forward, there will always be the same thing ahead: uncertaint­y. The next place is unknowable. Will you discover what you seek? Will it be how you imagined it? Your adventurou­s heart will lead the way.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

You love how a certain kind of work feels -- like being in the flow of the cosmic river, like dancing with the universe, like burning with the stars. Your love of the process means that your satisfacti­on never hinges on a certain result.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

Humans need humans to survive. That’s why one of our most primitive fears is the fear of being separated from the group. But before you get involved and make efforts to fit in, make sure it’s a group worthy of belonging to.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

A complicate­d relationsh­ip becomes a little less so. It doesn’t happen because of a conversati­on or any new knowledge you acquire. It’s a change in you. Your openness and acceptance bring harmony to the relationsh­ip.
