SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look around you to see what you can do to improve where you live or improve your home in any way. This might also include improving relations with family members. In particular, focus on bathrooms, plumbing areas plus garbage and recycling. Time to tidy up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will be invincible in all your discussions with others because you are so charismatic and convincing. Well, let’s face it. You don’t intend to let up until others agree with you because you are convinced (and you’re probably right) that your ideas will improve things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might see new ways to earn money today. You will definitely see ways to improve how you handle your money, and you will also see new uses and applications for things you already own because today — you are in a resourceful, creative frame of mind.
