For Sunday, Nov. 16:

Use the period up to February 2009 to expand intellectually and break past former mental restrictions. During this time, zero in on what you want. Do be careful, as you might discover you really don’t want that desire once you get it! Reflect often, and adjust to your constantly changing needs. If you are in touch with your core, you won’t have any surprises. If you are single, don’t commit; take your time, at least a year. You will find that your opinions change during this period. If you are attached, your relationship flares with romance. Cancer can be quite enchanting.
