CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)
Painting a picture that’s gloomier than the reality acts as a psychic buffering system. It’s your way of bracing for the worst. If you expect the worst and get the worst then it’s a zero sum game – no hope ventured; no disappointment gained. However if you expect the worst and things turn out for the better then you can celebrate your fortune in good conscience – that is until you find something new to worry about. It’s neurotic, but it’s your version of a security blanket. That said you may have to recalculate this equation when a certain someone winds up saying “yes” this week.
