THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

A sense of free-floating excitement will finally land on specific instances of good fortune in the first weeks of the new year. A mentorship will make a huge difference in your ability to move forward with a new goal. In general, the right team is so important. Do not try and go it alone this year. You need people; they want to help you, and you’ll all be better off when you can give and receive each other’s strengths. Financial opportunity and luck come in May and in September.

It seems like it would be a simple thing to know the difference between “feeling it” and “not feeling it.” However, there’s much hype, glamour and distraction to keep you from being certain of this. When you’re not sure, step away. Take your time. Resist impulse and you’ll soon discover the deep wisdom within you.

AQUARIUS 18) You’d prefer to live in an organized world. For one thing, it’s prettier. The only problem is that not everything fits neatly into a category. Therefore, it is important to observe well and understand as much as possible about the nature of things before you figure out how (and if) they fit into your scene.

CAPRICORN (December 22January 19) The experts who tell you “practice self-care” are giving fine and literal advice. “Self-care” does, after all, require “practice.” Don’t expect yourself to get it right all of the time. You’re a growing, changing work-in-progress. Keep making new efforts to support yourself, as you’re learning more and more as you go.
