SIGN: Capricorn
BORN: December 29, 1972
WHERE: Lewisham, London, England
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
Someone you dealt with this year shows appreciation in a novel but significant way. New friends make demands on you — but avoid being impatient, especially after the 21st. Relatives surprise you with their generosity and also reveal a long-held family secret.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Be alert to possible conflicts before they erupt. Rather than avoiding unpleasant topics, get them out of the way before the holidays begin. Entrepreneurship is your current strong suit. It’s an excellent time to network.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
It’s taken 11 months, but you’re ready to make commitments and see things through to completion. You might want to look through personal stuff as you search for the right gift. One caution: avoid stretching the truth during the last week of the year.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
Pisces gains renown. Perhaps a piece of your writing is published, or you’re rewarded for your role in a community-related activity. Check that you’re not being volunteered for too many holiday tasks. Wrap up the year with a long-range health plan.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
Your influence on people is unusually strong, so only make important suggestions, particularly after the full moon of the 12th. A position you thought was temporary shows signs of turning into a permanent gig.
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
With the rest of the zodiac family distracted with holiday business, you turn your mind to practical things. It’s a good month to advance your career. Avoid taking even small risks.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
Your way with words creates a buzz and can lead to a plum assignment. Someone wants you to make a commitment or long-term decision, and there are pros and cons to consider.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Watch out for a tendency to show off. A modest, homey approach works best in every department — from cooking to public speaking. Expect to receive a last-minute invitation.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You’re not going to change anyone’s mind, so — for this month at least — agree to disagree. Interesting information arrives after the 15th, but confirm it before passing it along.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Lessons learned now, especially from youngsters, will be of great value in 2009. You’re more confident in your opinions, and, thanks to mutual honesty, an important friendship is strengthened. Spend more time on money matters.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You have trouble getting through to someone. Try a new approach, and be persistent. Avoid a late-month tendency to be too daring in everything from wardrobe to menus. You bring out the best in others — a quality that’s being noticed.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
December includes a major achievement in the area of communication. Messages you send out — verbal and written — have the right tone and bring results. Be proactive and avoid taking friendship, finances and health for granted.
