HOROSCOPE
CAPRICORN
Dec 22-Jan 19
Your drive and passion for business success is in high gear, but someone you depend upon may be only making a token effort. This is a good time to knuckle down to work, but not to accept surface appearances.
AQUARIUS
Someone might think you are a lightweight contender if you daydream or try to put a positive spin on obvious drawbacks. This isn’t a good time to discuss new investment strategies.
PISCES
You know precisely the right words to charm your partner or to soothe ruffled feathers. Go ahead and plan on a relaxing day puttering around the house. Avoid being pressured into making crucial decisions today.
ARIES
It may be that being persistent doesn’t appeal to you. However, you might be at your best when you refuse to quit when the going gets tough. Use willpower to withstand frustrations and see things through to a satisfying end.
TAURUS
Just because something is bright and shiny doesn’t make it silver or gold. This isn’t a good time to make major purchases, so avoid shopping this Black Friday. Wait a few more days to make a definitive decision.
GEMINI
Practice turning pessimism into optimism. Even when involved in serious thinking you can find ways to cheer up family members. Don’t waste valuable financial resources on risky investments or make dubious purchases.
CANCER
Strive to make a special someone proud of your accomplishments and abilities. There may be a financial matter on your mind that is not quite ready for prime time.
LEO
You could be anxious to see an improvement, but might not see there are advantages to leaving things as they are. If you wait a few more days you will be able to see more clearly.
VIRGO
If money is in short supply it might be that the universe is teaching you to be patient. You would love to be a successful entrepreneur but this isn’t the best time to create a business plan of action.
LIBRA
Social platforms won’t support business ambitions. You may easily aim your advertising at an inappropriate group of people or build online social connections with the kind of people who hide their real identities.
SCORPIO
Sometimes it is better not to follow the herd. You may be tempted to shop until you drop, but probably won’t be satisfied with purchases made today. Focus on being creative and using your good taste in other ways.
SAGITTARIUS
You have a pile of great ideas, but this might not be the best time to act on them. Be cautious about making new purchases, especially if a pushy salesperson is involved.
If today is your birthday:
The difficult decision making cycle you are in now will dissipate within the next week and then you can focus on using your leadership abilities. Get as much accomplished in January before you hit a slowdown. February can be difficult to navigate as you must toe the line and live up to your obligations, while at the same time you are susceptible to flattery. Focus on doing what is expected. It is possible that, because you are respected, favours will be granted or you can obtain a better position in June or July. You could seek a promotion, successfully put a business plan into motion, change jobs or make a long-term commitment to a loved one. You will be successful with whatever changes you make in the early summer. TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY
