Aries
Take advice wisely, and with a grain of salt. Seek out those who can be defined as family, whether or not you’re related. Make peace with an old enemy to keep your heart healthy. It’s the time to finally realize your potential. You can’t wait forever.

Taurus
Trust your own instincts regarding a private family matter. You know what is right for you and your loved ones. Though there will be moments of self-doubt, there is no reason to assume that you don’t know what you’re doing. You’re right, they are wrong. How’s that for a holiday bonus?

Gemini
Take it easy this time of year. Do not overextend. Try to remember what’s really important as to what your deep thoughts are guiding you toward — sometimes it isn’t healthy. Keeping up with the Jones’s, even if they’re in your own family, can leave you feeling dissatisfied. You’re not going to get what you need.

Cancer
Keeping yourself busy with a variety of tasks helps make you feel connected. Don’t underestimate your artistic talent. If at first you don’t succeed, keep trying. Your life is about to get much more rich, less vague. Start getting specific about where you want to be in ten years.

Leo
The weather keeps changing and you don’t know how to feel about things. As an upcoming separation causes you some inner turmoil, so does your future begin to open up. You can keep becoming the person you want to be — even if you slip up occasionally, you still have a reason to believe.

Virgo
Your working life begins to grind against your private time. You find yourself saying: if only, if only, if only. If only can become a reality with a little tweaking here and there. Decorate your own tree with things that make you feel happy. Discard that which clutters your life and irritates your sensibilities.

Libra
Go find a clue that will help uncover a riddle others seem to know the answer to already. You are not in the dark, but keep your options open. Buried beneath the surface is a young person waiting to help you start living again. Think young, be young. Oh, and drink lots of water.

Scorpio
A new move has you more excited that you ever thought possible. At the same time, there is conflict in your love life — you seek to please too many and therefore please too few. Get your priorities straight. Which end is up? Keep your distractions at a minimum. Indulge around the holidays with more than just delightful treats.

Sagittarius
Have confidence that you won’t drop the ball when the time comes. Elevate yourself despite the desire to keep yourself down. Once you’re in a new place you’ll be amazed at how well it suits you. Open up your mind to financial possibilities. Open up your heart to alternatives to your dream life.

Capricorn
You’re becoming busier than ever. Figure out a way to use your creative energy and your voice to get your message out to a broader group of people. Your isolated status is good for your confidence but it could be put to better use out there in there in the global community.

Aquarius
Don’t let yourself lose out on opportunities because you get stuck in the mode of perfection at the last minute. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be good enough for now. That philosophy will help you move ahead when you’re frozen. Think progress rather than perfection.

Pisces
It’s increasingly harder to keep a balanced life. There are ways to simplify. Time is money. Spend your time better than how you spend money: don’t waste it. You have to remember that you can’t always do everything right. Forgive yourself the small stuff. The failing economy benefits you this holiday season.
