Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Sometimes all the holiday hype just ends in a fizzled-out New Year's. But not this year. The entire month of December will be your own twinkly-light-adorned personal celebration of life. You'll be popular, energetic, have numerous social engagements — and if you haven't found it already, there is a good chance you'll find some serious love. Think it's not possible? Play it safe and put on something pretty.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Pluto and Jupiter are working some powerful magic for you this month, Cap. If it's been a rough year, the stars predict you'll find a great deal of peace and healing now. You might have to work for it (write in the old journal, meet with the old therapist), but if you push through, you'll grow by leaps and bounds. Do it now, because you'll want to be free and clear for some surprise romance during the holiday season.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Maybe you can't jet off to Rome and take in the sites this week, Aquarius, but you'll find ways to indulge your wanderlust, if only in your head. A class, lecture, or club might broaden your horizons and add a little la dolce vita to the normal routine. These activities could lead to romance, as well. Everybody likes a little Italian in them, right?
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Sometimes you're a slippery fish, Pisces. You can be meek and mild and dreamy, but beneath all that demure exterior lies a molten core. This week you're about to explode. The stars predict stellar career advancement — a small project could blossom into a new position, company, or the damn Trump Tower. Good things are coming your way, and you won't need a fat guy in a red suit to give 'em to you.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
You've been craving a home makeover so bad, you'd let a FOX reality show do the designing, as long as it got done. Well, hate to break it to you, but you can't butt your way through this one. Decorating for the holidays: fabulous. Trying to sell the house? Wait till January. Meanwhile, you can use your free time to play a naughtier version of handyman.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
You're a giver, Taurus, and we love you for it. Your holiday gift list can be a mile long. Thankfully, the stars are here to help you out. They're predicting a major monetary influx in the next few weeks. So buy that Lotto ticket, open that savings account, ask for that raise: do whatever needs to be done to open yourself up to the possibility of abundance. Then add me to your shopping list.
Gemini (May 21-Jun. 21)
Are you a fan of the tawdry TV drama, Dirty Sexy Money? Because this week the stars predict an abundance of money and sexy. You could find love at the office; you could find money on the street — either way, you'll enjoy it. The stars didn't predict the "dirty" part, but I'm sure you can take care of that.
Cancer (June 21-July 21)
Your communication skills will be on fire this week, Cancer. The stars predict success in all linguistic arenas, except, perhaps, for dealing with needy family members. But they always take a little extra effort, don't they? Help Aunt Judy go shopping for pantyhose, but give yourself enough downtime to explore your linguistic skills with your lover.
Leo (July 22-Aug. 22)
Leos tend to think they're natural royalty, and spend like they've got a personal mint. This week you'll have a holiday shopping list that doesn't quite fit your budget. Thankfully, times like these remind us that true pleasures are not purchased — or, at least, they can be, but for cheap. One red-hot lover, one ice-cold can of whipped cream, and you've got the perfect gift. Use your imagination — it's even more extravagant than your spending habits.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 21)
Cold weather got you down? This is the perfect week to explore the many ways you can keep warm during winter's chill. Sure, there are cable-knit sweaters and furry hats, but the stars indicate you'll find more passionate ways to stoke the home fires. Even under all those layers, be on the lookout for love — you might be swept off your feet and right into bed. Fireside bearskin rug recommended.
Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 22)
Are the neighbors arguing over who's got the better light display? If you've found yourself in the middle of a petty bickering match, or feel like you can't take one more day of Britney Spears gossip, take heart: you've got the power to step out of the mundane, the trivial, the boring-as-hell. This week you'll find the power to create your own personal land of calm. And trust me: you'll need it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You've been busting ass all year at the office, Scorpio, and now all your efforts will be rewarded. Money may not come simultaneously with your new responsibilities, but like a mysterious rash after a makeout session with Paris Hilton, it will soon appear. Before you know it, you'll be raking in the dough, which is good news for everyone on your holiday shopping list.
