Happy birthday, Sagittarius!
The life journey of anyone born this week is to move from dependency to total self-reliance. The Sagittarius achieves this goal by mental advancement, world travel and plenty of freedom.
When people stand in the way of the accomplishments of this fire sign, they could be dismissed and let go. The need to be free to roam is an important part of the Sagittarius personality.
They are born to move as if the world was their playground. Trying to stop or change this fire sign is like trying to stop a waterfall. It is impossible.
The Sagittarius has taken the intense spirit of Scorpio and is now working toward the power of the Capricorn. To achieve this goal, the Sagittarius must be free to experience the world on their terms.
People born this week: Strom Thurmond, Dec. 5, 1902; Andrew Cuomo, Dec. 6, 1957; Aaron Carter, Dec. 7, 1957; Sinead O’Connor, Dec. 8, 1966; Kara DioGuardi, Dec. 9, 1970; and Bobby Flay, Dec. 10, 1960.
Life will simmer down now that the full moon, which happened on Saturday, has come and gone. The best days for shopping or accomplishing whatever needs to be done will be Wednesday and Thursday when the moon is in drama-loving Leo. The next new moon will be Sunday, Dec. 21, just days before Christmas, making it perfect for last-minute shopping.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Now is a time of doing all you can to improve not only your environment, but your own attitude. Once you have outlined your exact direction, you will have an inner glow which will attract others of like mind to you. Let Uranus guide you with a new awareness to the success you have been seeking for so long. The change will do you good.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Your logical mind knows there is more to your life than you see before you. You are now required to make a move to become more aware of what it is you really want in your life. It is time to become serious, settle down and grab what you want and need. That will bring the contentment you seek, plus the love you need.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) No matter how others act it is now up to you to stand up and be counted. By taking total responsibility of your talents and doing what you know is your bliss, life will turn around for you. New people are waiting for you to wake up and seek them out. This is a time when you should make your move towards your goals.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) Dealing with the contemporary moments you are now living through is an experience you will treasure. By opening up to this new adventure you will find love, plus a new BFF. Share your ideas and in that way you will find what you are seeking. You need a new outlook on your goals and what you want to do. Love is waiting. All you need do is see it.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) Avoid the negative, which will cross your path if you are not awake. You can’t afford to waste time on nonsense this week. After all Jupiter, the planet of good luck, remains in Leo and offers opportunities you can’t ignore. Settle down and work at your long-term goals and you will become the person you want to be.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) Now is the time to be aware that out of hard work comes exactly what you need for you own spiritual development. Slowly surrender to who you really are instead of trying to be someone you think you should be. The more you can help others, the more you feel the real you, who you really like. A BFF could help you find your real self.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) As you review your core values also review the values of your best pals. If they are not the same, the time has come to make some adjustments. An old friend will be helpful in sorting through your goals and establishing your real needs. Planning a mini trip with a buddy is something you will soon consider.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) Certainly your new outlook on responsibility will bring you into a new era of your life. Remain serious and enjoy your share of both the financial and spiritual success. The new folks entering your life will remain and become important – if you let them – and also help you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) This is a time of enlightenment for you. As both Jupiter and Uranus trine your sun, you should be having “ah-ha moments” 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you are not catching a glimmer of the meaning of your life, then try some time alone. A new face will enter your life and force you to rethink a few things. So prepare for the payback Saturn will soon bring.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) Keep your core values in mind as you continue to climb the road of change. It would be indeed sad to reach a high point in your career and then forget or just ignore your values. Just push until you find exactly what it is you want and you need. Then stop and review the use of power involved and be kind. New folks mean new ideas, so listen.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) Your yearning for a new road to peek your interest will soon appear. With this in mind it would be wise to start packing some of your old works to make room for the new. Once you show a real interest in a stimulating subject, you will find like-minded people who will become involved as friends. The sooner you move, the sooner your life will shine.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) If you feel overwhelmed or confused, it is the influence of Neptune and it shows it is time to turn around and run the other way. A new love could walk into your life, but Neptune says use care. Don’t rush into anything or you will end up in the wrong space. Your creative life should really be taking off. So stay involved in that part of your life.
