TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (DECEMBER 5)
What used to restrict you will no longer be a problem as you evolve past old barriers. You get closer with a loved one on a shared adventure this month. Important breakthroughs in your career come in January. February brings charming new friends. A controversial undertaking is fantastically successful in May. Pisces and Scorpio are big fans. Your lucky numbers are: 38, 2, 19, 44 and 50
Life is like an intricate marble run with lots of twists, drops and turns. All it takes is one action, the drop of a marble into the top of the run, and the rest goes in accordance with simple laws of motion. The conjunction of the sun and Mars in the sign of Sagittarius acts as a catalyst for an effortless and inevitable ride. Roll with the excitement.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
You will forget about your troubles in favor of remembering your purpose: focusing on what you love. If you're not able to do that, figure out a way. There is always a way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
When you're comfortable, everyone around you is comfortable. So the best thing you can do to improve the world is to relax. Put your body in alignment and breathe, then watch those around you react in fluidity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)
Your comments are welcome, so long as they are kind. People need desperately to be pumped up now. They might ask you to be honest, but what they are really looking for is for your unabashed praise.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)
High-voltage events don't scare you. In fact, you'll be recharged by them. So put yourself in the hot seat. Take on more than you can handle. The adrenaline rush makes you feel vitally alive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Finish what you start. You won't be able to do it in an hour or a day, but work at it as though it were possible to wrap it up in one energetic sprint to the end. With the right attitude, you'll make amazing progress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Older people have much to teach you, though the schooling will be extremely informal. Their example of calm knowingness is the biggest lesson of all. Watch, imitate and learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
Your thoughts are your own personal property. You don't have to share, and will probably be stronger for keeping things to yourself just now. There will be plenty of time later for giving your ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)
You'll be answering requests, running errands and handling problems. All of it is easy if it happens one thing at a time. But when it all happens at once, you'll have to dig deeper in order to rise to the occasion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
New streams of income open up. Your world brightens because you are able to make some of the improvements you've been wanting to make for a long time now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You'll be excited by the things that crop up in your life -- it's the kind of growth you hadn't considered. This occurs in the nick of time, really, to prevent you from becoming tired and jaded.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The discussion you've been avoiding could become unnecessary if you're able to wait it out long enough. Sometimes the lack of an exchange says it all, and in the nicest way possible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
There's no need to be overly rigid about sticking to your guns. Said "guns" may need cleaning and repair, or perhaps they are totally out of date and dangerous, and another weapon would suit your situation better.
