Horoscopes (Nov. 29-Dec. 5)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20): At a major checkpoint, it’s clear that many adjustments have to be made. To think that you can keep treading the same path is insane. Even if it makes sense to “keep on trucking,” you will get nowhere if you keep pretending that any of this is really working for you. Rearranging your sights will be easier the minute you see that there are endless possibilities on the road ahead. In less than a year, you will figure out how to take what isn’t working and turn straw into gold. The trick lies in not getting hung up on the idea that persistence is the only way to get life to pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20): The past few weeks have brought up tons of old stuff. Going around the barn one more time, you are seeing a little bit more of both your self, and of the issues that got you here. With a wider view, all of a sudden what seemed cut and dried only a month or two ago is now a totally different story. If you were clear and confident about all of this, at this point it’s time to make sure that your motives are 100 percent real and true. Things will take off like a rocket if that’s where you’re coming from. One whiff of greed or ego could see this whole ball of wax sink like a stone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 20): You’ve been doing whatever it takes to keep your head above water. In some cases, things have been harder than they have to be because people seem to be out to undermine you. As they keep pressing their case, you can’t help but wonder why you are such a threat to them. If at times you feel overwhelmed, know this: The light prevails and, at the end of the day, so does the truth. Keep walking your talk. Don’t be discouraged. Know that your power lies in your ability to remain 100 percent honest in the face of people who have shown up to improve their lot by dragging you down.

PISCES (Feb. 21-March 20): Everything is about to change. The reality of your situation is due to force you to get more involved with people and things that bring your real strength, as well as your real gifts to the fore. Others are bound to have a problem with this — because those who supposedly know you better than anyone will have a hard time accepting what happens when you come into your own. More than a few of your closest allies are about to walk off the set. At the end of the day, this is a changing of the guard. It’s time for your life to be filled with people who support your total empowerment.

ARIES (March 21- April 20): No matter how you choose to see it, you have it made. Those of you who find that hard to accept need to snap out of it and stop making excuses. The impact of the last five years has shifted things around just enough for you to get over yourself and embrace a truer vision. The old pictures no longer apply. Be wise enough to see that and move into what’s right there waiting for you the minute you open your eyes to what’s next. Those of you who are already ahead of the curve and on your way have nothing to fear. The only thing left to do is enter the fire and let it transform you.

TAURUS (April 21 -May 20): Everyone’s nice until you get to know them! You are getting some hard lessons in what happens when we give people more credit than they deserve. That’s OK; now that you know what’s up you won’t make the same mistake again. Beyond that, life is calling you to step into a bigger pair of shoes. As the next few months unwind you’re going to be tested in ways that force you to leave your comfort zone and expand your base of operations. Don’t be afraid to make waves. Your steady nature and your pure intentions will keep your life afloat even as your spirit rocks the boat.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): This will either work or it won’t. Everything depends on where your heart lies. Many of you have paid your dues and are free and clear. If you have doubts about this it’s because you have to go through one last round of tests before the universe turns on the green light and shows you all the goodness that lies in store for you. For others? Let’s just say God gave you a long rope. What you decided to do with it has taken you far afield. Be mindful of the fact that when we stray too far from the source we get our ass kicked. If there are amends to be made, be humble enough to make them.

CANCER (June 21-July 20): It’s time for a change. You don’t have to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but you need to revamp a situation that will not maintain itself if you continue to try to keep it the way it is now. Part of you is half aware of this. The deeper part of you is slow to shift from one gear to another. Sometimes it’s good to have the foresight to catch yourself before you get stuck. There is a definite need to rewrite the script as far as your work is concerned. The same holds true with your relationships and your living situation. Look into your crystal ball and get on the stick.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 20): It’s hard to say which way things are going to roll, because every ounce of the past is about to come to bear on the situation that you find yourself in now. For some, the business of what goes around comes around will be a simple matter of all the good you have done suddenly manifesting itself in one fell swoop of good luck! It’ll be one of those things that makes everything that was done in the name of love totally worth it. For the rest of you? They say that truth is the daughter of time. To the extent that you have abused power and manipulated others, there will be hell to pay.

VIRGO (Aug. 21-Sept. 20): You are trying to figure out what it takes to play both ends to the middle without making everything harder than it has to be. Contemplating the realm of possibilities, it’s your habit to take a logical approach. While common sense has its good points, there is something to be said for trusting in the thought that all you have to do is remain open and allow life to guide your actions from here on out. What you want is within reach. To bring it home it will help you to keep stoking the dream just enough to create a slipstream that pulls you closer to its realization.

LIBRA (Sept. 21-Oct. 20): Someone has shown up with what looks like an offer you can’t refuse. PS: You are under no obligation to go along with the program. Before you say “Yes” to this, take time to touch base with your own truth. When you get right down to it, you have no real clue where others are coming from. To throw your hat in the ring with someone you don’t even know? It’s insane. Draw your boundaries and give this person enough rope to hang themselves. You’ve been through too much. The last thing you need is one more person using you up and letting you down.

SCORPIO (Oct. 21-Nov. 20): At the center of a major decision, it’s time to take what’s left of the past and direct everything toward whatever the future holds. You already know what you want to do. Giving yourself permission to “Go for it” lies at the heart of the matter. Don’t let yourself be held back by whatever you think you need to hold on to. In the midst of things that are less confusing than they seem, you have relationship considerations that don’t fit the norm. Between your upcoming choices and your love life, you’ll do better trusting your gut instead of following the party line.
