Cancer Predictions:
Your personal life is relatively secure at this moment. Take advantage of the lull in family conflict to concentrate on your own goals. If family problems crop up again in December, consider making an appointment with a family therapist. Your energies this month should be spent on work matters. A new prospect is emerging in now that will need to be capitalized on in the beginning of 2010. Start planning now. A new market for your project or service is likely to emerge. Remain informed. For single Cancers, it look as if a quirky Capricorn will be pulling at your heartstrings this month. You've been noticing this austere character for weeks and are not entirely sure how to approach them. Why not ask if they would do you the honor of accompanying you to the theater or to a concert? Before buying tickets, inquire about their interests. Do they like jazz? Classical music. Gourmet dining? Do they favor a particular sports team? For moderate Capricorns who like to do things "right", your courtesy and manners will impress them far more than any brusque gestures designed to sweep them off their feet. Should you have decided on a new car, I do hope you opted for an energy-efficient model. These days it's the only way to go.
Snake Predictions:
One blight on this clement end of the Ox year period has to do with your being invited to participate in committing an immoral act. Someone in your social milieu will attempt to convince you to become involved in a campaign to ruin someone else's reputation. As the targeted person is someone you really don't adore, you may indeed be tantalized at the prospect of joining in the rumor mongering. You and the others don't like this person because he or she is rankly hypocritical and has been known to debase the status of more than one other person you know. So when you are asked to join in disgracing his or her name, you are sorely tempted. Please resist. The hypocrite will meet his or her own demise soon enough, and when that happens, you won't have their welfare on your conscience. One item you should watch out for, as the Ox year finale draws near, is your tendency to be convinced that what you believe to be true is absolutely so. An event which is likely to occur at the end of November will test this flaw in your character. You so want everybody to give credence to an idea that you have about what's best for a certain relative that you become stubborn about it. This could be about an older person who needs care or someone in your immediate family whom you have decided needs your help. Do iron out this misconception on your part with friends and family members before trying to implement this character's rescue. The relative who seems so needy may just be attempting to get your attention, which in some odd way flatters you. Reason with your head. Not with your vanity. Heed the advice of wiser than thou.
From my very smart friend, Strannik:
"The question is whether you should continue (with something)... if it gives you pleasure, continue. If not, stop. Pleasure should be your standard of judgment; not whether you're right of wrong to do so."
Excellent... :)
