New opportunities await you. You may need to travel, maybe with relatives. Communicate wisely now, whether on page or aloud. Music and photography appeal to you right now. Share those talents with friends and family. Make all decisions carefully today. Remain rational and you will not be misled. Be judicious with your resources and the make the most of what you have. Wise investments will pay off. <em>If you wish to succeed now, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brothers, and hope your guardian genius.</em>

Rather than, say, Scrooge-out on holiday spending, see if relatives want to pool funds for gifts or even set a budgetary cap so that no one goes broke playing Santa.
