Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There is no “perfect.” And if there were, it would only close your mind to new ideas and standards. Instead of seeking the ideal, seek a solution that’s as quirky and flexible as you are. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be agitated by today’s sky because it calls for more honesty than you feel would be kind. Perhaps the poet Kahlil Gibran can help: “If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.” Today’s birthday (Dec. 6): Don’t worry about being heroic. Heroism is the byproduct of doing the right thing consistently. That’s the true aim of your heart so you can’t go wrong. More highlights: the purchase of property, a leadership role in which you share what inspires you, inspiring others along the way, and countless escapades with a jolly friend. Pisces and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 7, 22 and 19.
