For Monday, Dec. 17:

You will continue to grow and transform this year. At the same time, you will be claiming your power, and others will notice what a force you are. Sometimes those close to you feel like they barely know you. If you are single, romance certainly will have a place in your life. Avoid any wild risks if you are attached. What might be just a chatty flirtation could become a huge problem. Aries loves to swap jokes and brainstorm with you.
