December 01, 2001

The new month commences with the warm, electric buzz of the Gemini moon. Everyone seems so interesting, and it will be easy to make new friends and start casual but enthralling conversations. Political matters may affect your personal life. Your dreams/fantasies will play tug-of-war with your practical ideals. Take a little of both.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A drama king or queen could have you believing that a crisis is real – relax. You are an expert on the subject of child-rearing, and others will rely on you and follow your example. Tonight, you’ll display outstanding social etiquette.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Insightful input from your business partners will make it possible for you to do m ore as a team than you could ever accomplish on your own. What you learn for a new job, or for the sake of knowledge, will make you happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A dashing and rich new friend will pique your interest in a new arena. You may relocate with happy results. Ask for references – it’s favored. You’ll see a great ad in the classifieds this afternoon. Ask for directions if you get lost.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Allow others plenty of space at work. Start a new relationship by getting into the local cultural scene. Going out for a special dinner with your client will be the perfect way to close a deal. Go for what your heart desires.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you want to throw caution to the wind, you must make a devoted effort to actually do it. Remain somewhat autonomous, and enjoy your partner’s company for what it’s worth. Accurate projections, solid plans and precautions are highlighted.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (December 1). Possibilities will be endless next year. Tons of venues will be open to you. Travel in the early year could change your life direction entirely. You will receive two offers of marriage within the next four months. Take all the time you need to make this important decision. In May or June, your boss will reward your recent efforts with a promotion. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 39, 6 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you’d like to increase your sex appeal, try your hand at a new hobby. Challenge yourself by thinking of new ways to present your self-image. Make an effort to understand others’ viewpoints. Pay off a debt in full if possible.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your peers regard you as a fearless leader. Feel no need to display your benevolence; everyone will see it eventually. If you have been lonely lately, you’ll find an exciting companion tonight. Help the less fortunate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Working for your boss’s approval is a tricky business. If you call the shots, nobody will even think about evaluating your work. Show your power. Sometimes it is better to spare a loved one of problems no one can solve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Hours of work can be avoided by making accurate estimates the first time. Encourage others to do the honorable thing, even if a shortcut seems enticing. Make a memorable impression tonight, especially with a Leo.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you know what you want, you’ll fall into a comfortable arrangement that is uncomplicated and free of messy expectations. A love connection will stir up feelings of passion. Memories of the past will come flooding back.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What brings you great satisfaction (and I’m not talking about money) should always be your goal. Come clean on a minor issue, and you’ll feel a surge of relief. Someone powerful has his or her eye on you, so stay on your toes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Things may not be what they seem today. Misunderstandings could create problems, so be articulate when communicating with others. Friends will return borrowed items to you. Allow a close pal to do something nice for you.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Do you have any advice for someone born on March 7, 1974? I have an anger problem. What can I do about it?

You can nip this problem in the bud by joining a support group. Share your feelings with others who know what it’s like to get so irate you act completely unlike your usual self. Your moon and sun are opposite in Virgo and Pisces, respectively, and Mars in Gemini squares the moon in your natal chart. This means your emotions jump forward and surprise you from time to time. Neptune, Pisces’ ruling planet, is opposite Mars in your chart, and this is also a source of confusion. You have physical urges that you are unable to understand, and you may find yourself taking physical action in response to provocation before you know it. However, you’re a nice person, and other aspects to Mars in your chart show that you are popular, friendly and able to understand someone else’s perspective. (Mercury and Venus in enlightened, objective Aquarius). Your lack of communication with one of your parents may be the source of anger. Think about this, and perhaps make a few visits with a counselor. He or she can help you talk out the abiding anger that is being tapped occasionally by the frustrating incidents of life. I hope you find a remedy and live your life anger-free.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: A new release from Bill Idol will do extremely well in 2002, and this punk rocker will prove that everything comes back around full circle. Success with a movie soundtrack may inspire Idol to produce and fund a younger band that may quickly rise to the top. Sagittarius loves to take things in a new direction, and it never likes to do things the same way twice, especially when it comes to career issues.
