Rise and Shine on Dec. 5 (don’t try to keep a situation from backsliding. You’ll only get buried underneath. Gingerly step to one side), Dec. 6 (you need to identify what’s important and then offload those commitments and obligations that have outlived their purpose), Dec. 7 (you finally get to the bottom of a physical ailment.  Thankfully it’s nothing serious, but you’ll have to change your diet or regimen), Dec. 8 (your outlook brightens when a superior or influential client weighs in on your side.  It’s the vote of confidence you’ve been looking for!), and Dec. 11 (you redeem yourself with a loved one in need. Hopefully you can do the same with colleagues left in the lurch)

Duck and Cover on Dec. 9 (who declared open season on Children of Venus? Mars in Scorpio, that’s who.  Keep a low profile for the next 7 weeks and you’ll emerge unscathed), Dec. 10 (money problems are eating away at your relationship. It’s time to have that “come to Jesus” talk. The loaves and fishes aren’t multiplying as hoped), and Dec. 12 (watch it with the malaprops!  You never know what will slip out when retrograde Mercury conjoins the Sun. Stick to yes and no answers)
