­For Wednesday, Dec. 14:

Some years are easier than others. This year, you seem to flow more easily. You could have upsets, but the way you handle situations changes radically. If you are single, someone quite dashing, exciting and different whirls into your life. What you do with this person is your choice. If you are attached, you enter a very dynamic year together. Opt for a special, long-talked-about vacation. Leo brings out your enthusiasm.
