horoscope

December 2007

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 22
Your powers of persuasion are most effective after the 11th. Continue to focus on health and fitness — you’ll see results by the 31st. Research skills prove handy as you begin a project that involves investigation.

Capricorn

December 23 – January 20
December is ideal for getting things off your chest and unloading all of the emotional baggage that you’ve been carting around all year. Co-workers seem laidback but remain competitive. Recent journal entries prove valuable. Avoid getting caught between feuding friends.

Aquarius

January 21 – February 19
It seems as though everything requires more effort. You work harder to make a point, find a gift, or satisfy your boss. But your diligence pays off handsomely. Remain conscientious about health matters and seek out the best advice and latest information.

Pisces

February 20 – March 20
A new relationship continues to gain ground, but don’t coast. Look for ways to keep things fresh and spontaneous. The month has an overall sentimental flavour. Express yourself through photography, poetry or — appropriate for Pisces — water colours.

Aries

March 21 – April 20
An impatient streak surfaces just before the holidays, but don’t force answers from anyone. People move from curious to nosy, and it’s time to set up barriers. A new interest or professional course takes an interesting turn and leads to self-discovery.

Taurus

April 21 – May 22
Listen to all sides before making an announcement that can affect personal or working relationships. This is a wrap-up month in various ways. You finish a project and receive overdue recognition. It’s also an ideal time to prop up a sagging friendship.

Gemini

May 23 – June 21
This month is about making choices involving career (which path to take) and travel (solo or with partner). Avoid impulses to re-gift, or return, a present. Your quick wit and charm make the holidays brighter for someone you’re just getting to know.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22
Seek consensus before making any decision involving the holidays. Surprise visitors prove an unexpected blessing. It’s a good time to turn a concept into a reality, especially if it involves marketing. Self-confidence is on the rise as a new year is about to begin.

Leo

July 23 – August 22
Partnership is the current theme. It’s a good month to pool ideas, collaborate on a creative project, and share holiday-related chores. Be alert for career opportunities that pop up after the 9th. Your longstanding belief in an underdog pays off by the 31st.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22
The new moon of the 9th marks the start of a period of generosity from those dearest to you. It’s a good time to show off your craftsmanship, taking a favourite hobby to a new — and potentially profitable — level. If thinking about any kind of makeover, wait till 2008.

Libra

September 23 – October 22
Whether you’ve been worrying about friends or putting in extra hours at work, it’s time to catch your breath and do something strictly for yourself. It’s also an ideal month to assess your role in a group arrangement and make “less is more” your new motto.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21
After taking charge for so long, you move to the back seat and gratefully let others make the big decisions. This is your month to nurture people. Expect to devote a fair bit of time to a cause that means a lot to you. If you go about it the right way, a relative can be coaxed into sharing financial obligations.
