Absorb information and constructively use what you discover. What you produce will inspire you to explore new possibilities. Creative input will lead to an exciting partnership.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21):
Be careful where you leave your cash or possessions. Someone you least expect will use what you tell them against you. For best results, focus on love and romance.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Your emotions will force you to make a change. Don’t stop until you are satisfied with the results you get. A personal change will lead to a professional decision.

You have plenty to offer. Get involved in a debate that will bring about change. Your experience will carry weight, and your articulate way of expressing your views will be impressive.

Dear Wants: Many times a patient will feel hesitant to tell a therapist that a line of conversation seems uncomfortable or irrelevant. However, because it is uncomfortable you should NOT let that stop you. Your therapist may explain to you why he is pursuing the issues. You can then accept or reject the explanation. If you continue to feel uncomfortable after that, you can “disengage” via a letter or a phone call.
Dear Abby: I don’t know how to refer to the man I love. We are both older and have been living together for years. Introducing him as my “boyfriend” makes me feel like a kid in a short-term relationship. I can’t use “husband” because we get our full benefits being single. (If we marry, we could lose half our income.)
I tried “partner,” but people assumed I was speaking of a business partner or a same-sex partner. “Lover” comes across as an extramarital affair. There has to be another word for a couple who lives together for years, like in a marriage, but who cannot marry.
Dear Unclassified: You might refer to the gentleman as your honey, your sweetheart, your loved one or spouse — or simply by his name. Most of the people with whom you are speaking probably know you live together, and if they are new acquaintances, there is no
Dear Pet Lover: If your sweet hubby feels the need to pet and cuddle a puppy, tell him he can do so at the local shelter. Then suggest that if he wants to adopt a dog, it should be an older one from a shelter or rescue group.
