Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The difference between tools and weapons is intent of usage. Circumstances arise, and there’s a judgment call to make. It could go a lot of ways. It’s your choice, really: defense, offense, creation, reparation... Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): While surrounded by half-asleep people, you have ideas about what should happen next, what you’d like to see, make, do. Once you give your motivational jumpstart, everyone will wake up. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You speak from your heart and tell the truth, which makes it easy to keep track. Those who can’t seem to manage this ease are either moving so quickly through life it’s hard to remember it all or lying. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may get the sense that whatever the group is doing, it’s not for you. Heed your need for independence. There’s something you’ll discover all on your own. Today’s Birthday (Nov. 25): Your decisiveness will allow you to live more experiences than you did last year — with no time wasted waffling between options. A sidekick will help your momentum toward a goal. More glories this solar return include a special reunion, the upward mobility you’ve long aspired to and a key part in a family victory. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 42, 14, 9, 28 and 30. Celebrity profiles: Christina Applegate’s parents were in the entertainment industry, and this savvy Sagittarius got her first acting job when she was 5 months old. Her having five luminaries in Sagittarius signals adventurousness, even fearlessness. Having one’s moon and Mars in Pisces is an ideal aspect for actors and artists and, in this case, also indicates a highly developed intuitive sense.
