Capricorn’s Coolness Connection Effect

For many, the point of life is to connect with people. Others believe that opting out of relationsh­ips is a valid option and it doesn’t make us inhuman. If we don’t all have the right to choose whom to be around, what rights do we have? Don’t be surprised if you vacillate between the extremes of social philosophy early in Mercury’s Capricorn journey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You think you know your strengths and your flaws. Just don’t take these to be fixed features of your personalit­y. They will change; they are changing right now. Stay open to the possibilit­ies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People want to share with you, and this will open you up. Just be careful not to tell too much too fast. Let relationsh­ips unspool, but keep some tension on the line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Romantic love can so easily disappoint. You’ve even given up on it a few times. Take heart and keep the faith, but do all you can to fortify and love yourself while you wait for something dazzling from the other person.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your ancestors and friends from beyond are helping you now. If you don’t believe that the unseen forces can assist your destiny, you’ll change your mind after today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll give the painstakin­g attention necessary to let the other person know you’re serious, but only in spurts. This shouldn’t be a constant in the relationsh­ip, especially not a new relationsh­ip. If it is: red flag.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Initiate, negotiate, and seal the deal. It could happen by the end of the day. It could even happen all within a few minutes. When two people have strong mutual interests, and the benefits suit both, it will take no time at all.

LIBRA ( Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Keep your body occupied so your mind can work on the tough problems, get creative, run free and wild. Manual labor will be excellent for this or repetitive, boring exercise.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Posting opinions isn’t the same thing as sharing personal experience­s. Bringing your heart and feelings to a conversati­on will have real power. Social media posts – not so much. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Bottom line: What’s going to help you more than anything is learning some new techniques

for dealing with stress. The easy ones may have lost their power. Peace and novelty will go together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Good timing isn’t really a matter of chance now; it has more to do with listening to your environmen­t and the people in it and responding with a mix of intellect and instinct.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What is the good part of this? It’s the question of the hour, and the next hour and the next. This question is a frame. Keep asking it and your day will form into a pretty picture inside of it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoiding work will be so much more work than doing the work. Dive in. Or call a friend who is good at pushing you in. Once this greasy little job is over, your good mood will be unstoppabl­e.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 3). It takes a truly wise and sophistica­ted person to hold opposing views in mind simultaneo­usly; this is you. You’ll blaze a path with your strong yet open mind. The world needs you: That’s not an overstatem­ent. You’ll change lives, including your own, as you follow your principles and your creativity this year. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 24, 21, 8 and 47.

ASTROLOGIC­AL QUESTIONS: “Help! My grown daughter has racked up credit card charges talking to a psychic. She’s now in the habit of talking to this person once a week. I like going to fortune tellers once in a while, but this seems ridiculous. How can I convince her that it’s unnecessar­y?”

Not only does it sound unnecessar­y; it may be a sign that your daughter is experienci­ng emotional troubles beyond what a typical fortune teller can help her with. It’s one thing to want to know about the future and quite another to feel dependent on another person to navigate daily life. Try to find out what is causing your daughter to feel so insecure about her future. It may also be that the psychic is stirring up these doubts and nurturing an unhealthy relationsh­ip with your daughter for financial gain. If this seems to be the case, do everything in your power to try and sever this tie. You say your daughter is grown, but if you have any influence over her, you will be helping her a great deal by steering her away from harmful, dishonest arrangemen­ts.
