Capricorn (December 22nd to January 20th)
The week begins with the Sun shifting from the sign of Aquarius to Pisces on Tues-day. Your focus may shift as well from keeping up with your finances to how you’re keeping up with your casual acquaintances and encounters. Although we tend to think of casual as meaning informal or carefree, the origin of the word casual relates more to what happens by chance or accident. This means that you may have more fortuitous things happen without careful planning—perhaps the very opposite of what you were trying to do with finances or your career. The middle ground may be in changing up your existing routine, leaving room to wander more than to get to your destination directly.  As you encounter strangers and acquaintances, listen more to what’s not being said and to what you’re feeling as you hear it.
