Aries
There aren’t too many obstacles that get in your way like plain old-fashioned frustration. Don’t see green of the envious kind, rather green of the plentiful kind: There’s enough for everyone. You find giving far better than receiving in matters of the heart.

Taurus
There aren’t enough hours in the day to complete every task that needs to get done. Eek out some relax time just to sit and do nothing for a few days. Start with the thing you most dread and work your way back. Hardest first: that’s the best method for dealing with the madness of this time of year.

Gemini
Splitting yourself three ways causes some growing pains. What you thought was going to be an easy few days has now turned into yet another stress fest. Prioritize so that next year is not as horrible as this year. There is always too much to do and not enough time to do it. A secret admirer gains courage.

Cancer
Don’t work out your life so that your own happiness is infringed upon. You’re hoping for a happy reunion but secretly you’re worried that you’ll lose time for yourself and become, eventually, annoyed. Call a friend long distance to discuss business matters.

Leo
A change of pace is what’s required this time around. Fortify your home base and rebuild a new life. The person who’s been holding you back will finally, at last, see things your way. You are the object of admiration for a great many people. Do not take anything for granted: appreciate everything.

Virgo
It is too torturous to think about. The best possible solution is to take things slow. If you keep your mind on other things you will not lose hope. A meaningless task makes you feel like you could do better. An old friend calls you and reminds you how good things once were and how good they could be again.

Libra
Examine your options. What’s the best way to find the treasure? With a reliable map and an even more reliable map drawer. When someone lets you down yet again resolve that it’s time to cut that person out of your life. Do not waste your time trying only to be faced with rejection.

Scorpio
Parts of yourself that you’ve left behind are scattered about here and there. In retracing your steps, don’t forget to get back in touch with those who used to mean something to you. It’s a good time to get some fresh air away from the daily grind. You will soon be focusing on love.

Sagittarius
Though your life is working out fairly well, you can’t but look back and feel some nostalgia for those you left behind. Sometimes it’s worse than other times. You will find yourself caught up in the rumor mill for no reason. You’re worried that you’re headed down the right path.

Capricorn
What should be a fun time for you is fast turning into yet another nightmare. Where will you go, what will you do, who will you do it with, how much will you spend — these questions drive you crazy. There are better ways to use your time, surely. Enjoy the present, moment to moment.

Aquarius
Stay away from poisoned foods as they will make you tired and give you an inability to focus. You may also start to feel like you’ve been pushed down the rank in importance with a certain family member. Rest assured you are more needed than ever this time of year and a source of comfort.

Pisces
The reason you can’t keep things straight is that you’re overloading yourself with the wrong things. Keep it all in healthy perspective and remember that your opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s. Sooner or later you’re going to have to stop feeling an imposter and start feeling like you belong.
