For Sunday, Dec. 4:

This year your impulsive knee-jerk reaction doesn’t always serve you well. Learning when to pull back is instrumental to your success. If you are single, you will be much more comfortable taking your time, allowing an even, steady flow to develop. If you are attached, the two of you could find yourself in a tiff more often if you aren’t careful. Aries can really get you going.
