New Moon, New Power: Where in your life would you like to feel more powerful? This is the question of the new Capricorn moon, ready to lend fresh starts and beginners’ luck to efforts to grow your power. Selfrevere­nce, self-knowledge, self-control: these three alone lead life to sovereign power. -- Alfred Lord Tennyson

CAPRICORN

(December 22 to January 19)

Focus on the task and not on the amount of time it takes to complete it. Executing a task is not inherently stressful but once you add in the pressures of a deadline, it changes everything.

AQUARIUS

(January 20 to February 18)

There’s someone in your life who needs your emotional warmth and focus and could even be healed by it. Even so, you are the one who will benefit most from the exchange.

PISCES

(February 19 to March 20)

Someone is thinking about you intently. Although it feels nice to know that you are being considered, you should also know that the other person sees you not as you are, but as he or she expects you to be.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

Someone seems to pick up what you’re throwing down even when no one else does. You’re now getting a sense of destiny intertwine­d. Tonight features the giving and receiving of compliment­s.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

You could overcompli­cate things by trying to give more and differentl­y than what is necessary. All together now: “All you need is love. Love is all you need.” -- The Beatles

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 21)

You will drop ideas like seeds. They will not take root immediatel­y and will likely travel on. Whatever was keeping you from maximum enjoyment will be dissolved by your excellent attitude.

CANCER

(June 22 to July 22)

You tend to take the lead in unknown situations. If you’re not sure how to proceed, save yourself some time by checking to see if anyone else knows more than you do. If not, you’ll figure it out as you go.

LEO

(July 23 to August 22)

Contrary to what Copernicus proposed in the 16th century, the planets do not orbit in perfect circles around the sun. Though imperfect, their journey is consistent and predictabl­e, kind of like your orbit of a certain loved one.

VIRGO

(August 23 to September 22)

Social scientists have proved that untrained people typically don’t read emotional expression­s as accurately as they think they do. You’ll do better than most because you try harder to understand people’s feelings.

LIBRA

(September 23 to October 23)

Engaging, entertaini­ng people are said to have a lot of personalit­y. There are instances when it helps, and other times when toning it down seems like the smart thing to do. You’ll be a genius at matching the tone you’re in.

SCORPIO

(October 24 to November 21)

Ask yourself why you want to do a thing or have a thing. The answer will open up more options to you. There are more ways than one to go about your goals. An expedient route will save you much hassle.

SAGITTARIU­S

(November 22 to December 21)

Your plan hinges on your ability to influence someone’s opinion or change their mind. People won’t respond to direct persuasion though. Casual and subtle moves are more effective than direct influence.
