Astrograph - Monday

Look at the possibilities and structure your time accordingly. You have plenty to gain this year, but the challenge will be getting started. If you let your enthusiasm build, you will attract helpers to push you across the finish line. Believe and trust in your ability and charm, and you’ll excel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21):

Do the research required to purchase the perfect gift for someone special, but stay within budget. Listen carefully to what others say. Someone will try to mislead you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You don’t need to take on the weight of the world. You can do only so much for others; after that, it’s no longer your responsibility. Channel your energy into a project that excites you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19):

Don’t mince words. If you are direct, you will avoid being put in an awkward position. If you make interesting plans with someone you enjoy being around, your relationship will grow into something special.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20):

Dig in and get things done before you implement new ideas or start another project. Your timing needs to be impeccable if you want to advance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Set your sights on what you want to achieve, and don’t stop until you reach your goal. Discuss sensitive issues that need to be addressed. Offer options and incentives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Make a change for the right reasons to avoid being accused of emotional manipulation. Spell out your ideas clearly, and be willing to take advice. Keep the peace, and you will prosper.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Engage in talks, but don’t embellish the truth. Stick to the facts and offer only what you are capable of doing. Use charm, not aggression, to get your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Originality will help you gain respect, admiration and the hearts of those you love. Shop for unique gifts or make something special for the end-of-year festivities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Anxiety will set in if you let someone play with your emotions. Don’t show anger, or you will lose control of whatever situation you face. Intelligence is your best defense.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Take the path of least resistance if you want to get the most done. High energy, creative input and following through with your plans will pay off.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

Lending a helping hand will be appreciated and reciprocated when you want a favor in return. A change at home may not be welcome, but, in the end, it will be to your benefit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22):

Whatever needs doing, do it yourself. Relying on others will not work out. Take the path that entices you most when it comes to love, life and personal happiness.
