HOROSCOPES
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 – December 20
Although you’ll have learned a lot from
the amazing ideas or offers triggered
by the fantastic alliance between your
ruler Jupiter and practical Saturn, on
13 December, you’ve plenty more to
explore. Yet even this fortunate cycle
doesn’t excuse you from the twists and
turns that arise during January’s first
half. While everybody’s struggling, each
dilemma proves instructive, so much
you’ll be thankful for what you learn.
Focus on that rather than making and
acting on plans, and you’ll soon be
enjoying the process.

JANUARY
SCORPIO
October 23 – November 21
Keep two things in mind and you’ll
sail through the unsettling period from
late December until mid-January. First,
neither events nor the decisions of
others will make sense. Second, you’ve
little control, even in those situations
where you should. Unfair as this seems,
confusion makes you thankful matters
aren’t in your hands. Meanwhile, your
task is to explore, especially when
options take you into unfamiliar territory,
personally or intellectually. By January’s
close not only are thosemysteries solved,
everything will come together magically.
CANCER
June 21 – July 21
Urgent as many of the tricky situations
that arise in late December and continue
until mid-January seem, each is forcing
you and others to review not only
existing arrangements but also your
views on the people and ideas involved.
This may seem a distraction. But by
the Cancer Full Moon on the 16th,
which both heightens your feelings
and brings facts together, the resulting
insights could substantially alter your
priorities. While this means rethinking
even straightforward practical decisions,
you’re confident changes are vital.
LEO
July 22 – August 22
If you feel that both existing plans and
your ideas about the future are being
challenged, often by pointless matters,
you’re right. Yet when you look back,
both on what you learned and the
resulting changes, you’ll be thankful
they took place. Many are calling your
attention to shifts around you and in
the circumstances of others. All are
crucial. Having acknowledged these,
you’ll be eager to get things settled.
Be patient. Things are unlikely to
come together until mid-February’s
Leo Full Moon.
VIRGO
August 23 – September 22
There’s no denying that the current
planetary emphasis is on life’s pleasures.
While, obviously, you’ll enjoy this, you
could feel guilty or experience conflicts
about your priorities. Forget analysis and
instead do something out of character.
Go with the flow. Yes, this could mean
making compromises. By midmonth,
your perspective will have changed,
enough that what so worried you won’t
matter. Better yet, you’ll also discover
new joys, personally and with others,
some of which will remain rewarding for
a very long time.
LIBRA
September 23 – October 22
Rarely has the symbol for your sign,
the scales, been more appropriate
than now. You’re trying to balance your
personal desires, the needs of others,
at home and out in the world, and
practical matters. This is complicated by
ongoing changes in the actual situations
you’re dealing with. Knowing that,
ensure any plans are flexible enough
to accommodate this transition. This
exchanges anxieties for a more positive
attitude about this disarray and, better
yet, allows you to venture into unfamiliar
territory with confidence.
