For Monday, Dec. 21:

This year, you open doors and decide to walk through them. At times this process could be a little frightening. If you are single, you could be delighted by an intriguing person who pops into your life. If you are attached, the two of you might often opt to stay out of the limelight and spend more time in couple-type activities. Aquarius always presents another view.
