THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

There is a world of difference between being curious and trying to understand. It’s your curiosity that will open doors and people this solar return, giving you a totally new outlook on life. It will feel like you’re getting a time bonus in May when unexpected events free up the hours needed to dedicate yourself to an endeavour that brings you much joy. The success of your family will improve your life in a direct way. You’ll travel to exciting places in June and November.

Your best efforts are good enough. Anyone who doesn’t think so is emotionally enslaving you. There is no good reason to scurry around in hopes of approval that won’t come. Serve a deeper purpose than the one that placates a baby. (Unless it’s an actual baby. Placating an actual baby really is a deeper purpose.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) In the process of starting or breaking any habit, it is the initial decision and the following few weeks that are the hardest. After that, new habits and life take over. Considering that the new pattern you have in mind will be better and produce more joy, possibility and excitement, the shift will be a no-brainer. Go for it!
