For Sunday, Dec. 9:

This year you come within reach of many of your dreams, particularly those that pertain to your personal and home life. Be aware that how you come off to others could prevent you from fulfilling these desires. If you are single, check out a new suitor or admirer with care. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from taking a vacation together.
