The Herald

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2011 Take advantage of all opportunities to mingle with new groups in the coming solar cycle. Youre in a brief period in which the people you meet will awaken fresh interests, as well as become valuable friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You have an ability to get others to be interested in things you find intriguing, thereby getting them to willingly help you. Try to make sure that everyone benefits equally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- When involved with people who espouse progressive ideas, get involved in conversations where you can learn what they know. One individual may clue you in to something valuable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Dont be fearful of changing conditions, even those that are exceptionally challenging. Youll perform far better if the heat is turned up. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -As long as you know you are being honest with yourself, place your faith in your own evaluations instead of in the judgment of others. Youll know whats best for you. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take control of your own destiny instead of letting life manipulate you. If you want something badly enough, achieve it on your own instead of waiting for others to give it to you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If another has far better ideas than anything youve got, let him or her take the lead while you play the supporting role. Collectively, youll have a strong team. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- This is a better than usual day for doing all kinds of personal jobs that dont require any outside help. Anything you can take on yourself will save you some big bucks. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Seek out some activities that are not of a sedentary nature during your free time. Its OK to need a break from everyday chores, but you still need to use your mind, body and soul in order to feel good. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Strike while life is going your way, but dont let things drag on too long, especially matters of a financial nature. Things have a way of adding up and when money is involved, it aint pretty. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Although many people you know are deceived by outward appearances, you should be able to pierce any faade. Youll be able to see people and things for what they are and act accordingly. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Give vent to your ambitious desires, especially if there are several material items you want to acquire. Success is likely in areas where you are strongly motivated to act. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Its far easier to perform well when you believe that you can transform your dreams into realities. Be optimistic and hopeful regarding the outcome of events.
