SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23-DECEMBER 21

In December your ruling planet, Jupiter, is out of sync, so results may be slow in coming, even though you're feeling revved up and ready to go. Try to be patient. As January rides in there is a strong accent on decisive moves—especially financially—which will turn the tide in your favor, and speaking frankly takes you down a new path.

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 20

You'll become aware that the times are changing in December and you appear to be emerging from a paralyzing fog that has been holding you hostage. Dare to act boldly as January unfolds and also to engage closely with others who appear to be very much on your side. Your actions will prove you right as the month winds down.

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21-FEBRUARY 19

You're in a transitional period this December so be prepared to learn as you go. Fresh starts are in the making, but you need to get the long view before you make any crucial decisions. In January, you're surrounded by positive energy all around—close relationships included—so take on new challenges.
