Rise and Shine on Dec. 26 (another person’s loss will prove to be your gain, but it will need deft handling if you don’t want to incur this fellow’s wrath), Dec. 27 (showing compassion at a time when others are being heartless wins the day), Dec. 28 (things aren’t as either/or as others suppose. All it takes is a little imagination to find where opposites dovetail), Dec. 30 (don’t let somebody else’s shortcomings derail you. You know you can clear that hurdle and should), and Jan. 2 (Ruling planet Uranus comes out of retrograde today. You’ve had 5 months of self-doubt. Now it’s time to get back on track with the things you care about)

Duck and Cover on Dec. 29 (a grabby type needs a good fierce slap on the wrist), Dec. 31 (there are times when discussing things in the abstract is helpful. This is not one of them), and Jan. 1 (you don’t do well with emotional scenes, but try to look concerned. There will be hell to pay if you don’t)
