For Sunday, Dec. 21:

This year presents you with an unusual opportunity to move in a new direction. This offer might be a once-in-a-lifetime option and could happen quite quickly in the next year. If you are single, someone special might be knocking on your door any day. If you are attached, indulge your sweetie, who often doesn’t feel as upbeat as you. Help your partner see the glass as half-full, instead of half-empty. Scorpio is a friend indeed.
