狮子座本月运程
The 1st, you begin your month with some serious self-expression. Maybe you're singing in the rain. Maybe you're dancing in the streets. Maybe you're self-publishing. Whatever it is you're up to, the world is going to be a richer place when you're done with it. Oh, and don't be surprised if you wind up the month with a whole host of accolades, okay? The 5th, something somewhere somehow shifts. What? Where? How? Only you know. The 11th and 12th, get ready to celebrate. If you don't have an occasion, don't worry: There's nothing wrong with simply celebrating your special, shiny, super self! The 16th and 17th, things suddenly get simpler and you've got all eyes on you -- what a combination! The 21st and 22nd, you turn your attention to a few of the deeper, more mysterious sides of life. 'What does it all mean?' you might ask. 'How do I fit in?' you might wonder. Only you know how you'll begin to answer these questions, though. The 27th and 28th, you're back in serious self-expression mode. How on Earth are you planning on wrapping up this spectacular month?

The 1st, you could be contemplating the deep blue of the sea. Or the wide-open sky. Or the green trees or the brown trees or the leafless trees or the hothouse flowers. Or all the insects and the birds and all the little creepy crawly things that are our companions here on earth. You're always earth- and environment-oriented, but this month you're even more tuned in to the world around you than usual. The 5th, why not take time to take stock of how you have (and haven't) been channeling your love for Mother Earth. Could you be more effective if you joined an environmental group of some kind? The 9th, you see a problem for what it is (No recycling program in the neighborhood? That's why nobody recycles!). The 12th, you need to do something about said problem you identified. The 17th, you take your solution public, and the 20th, you spend the day implementing something very important (Securing the support of local business, maybe? That should get your recycling project going!). The 24th, take control, and the 29th, spend the day doing what you like best -- communing with nature!

There are many words that describe you. Nice, smart, caring, interested, engaged, kind (not to mention, good-looking!). The 1st, your best qualities are coming through (because, yes, there are times when words like cranky, tired and maybe even a tad bit impatient could be used to describe you too). Your innate kindness, particularly, is playing a role in your interactions with others. What results will your kindness have down the road? There's just no telling, actually. Wait and see! The 4th and 5th, spend the afternoon getting active, exercise-wise as well as socially. You'll feel great. The 9th, don't be too shocked if you wake up to find that some emotional problem (a fight with a friend, a disagreement with your boss) has evaporated into thin air. The 13th and 14th, make sure you've scheduled all of your medical check-ups (no harm in being healthy, now, is there?) and the 19th, a new idea could transform into a great plan overnight. The 22nd, you achieve a Zenlike state of acceptance of 'what is,' then on the 26th, you change anything you don't think should be the way it is. The 30th, relax. What a month!

The 1st, you may well be on the road again -- literally or figuratively. Whether you're getting your kicks on Route 66 on your way to a brand new life in a brand new town, or you're launching a brand new work project, or you're heading off, hand-in-hand with a brand-new (or even not-so-brand-new) partner into the age-old sunset, there's action in store for you this month. There's movement, and newness, and maybe even the need to fasten your seatbelt. By the 5th, you might feel like it's really time to pull over and grab a cup of coffee. Go right ahead -- unless it would be wiser for you to take a cat nap. The 9th, get out the old roadmap if you have the feeling you might be lost (Unless, of course, you want to wander a little -- sometimes you make the most interesting discoveries when you don't quite know where you are or how to get where you think you want to go.). The 13th and 14th, it's all business where you're concerned. By the 18th and 19th, it's all good where you're concerned (enjoy it!). The 23rd and 24th, traffic clears, so put the pedal to the metal and ride. The 29th, spend the day on the go, and by the 30th, you'll have an inkling of where it is you've gotten to.

There are times when it doesn't really matter what you do, because you won't have that much of an impact on how things are playing out. The 1st of this month is not one of those times. Nope, as this month gets going, what you do could alter the course of your projects (at work and at home) in a big way. Yep, you're the major player in that thing called 'your life' and this month it's all about stepping up to bat when it's time. Swing batter! The 5th, if your pitching is weak, well heck, go ahead and recruit a couple of folks with strong arms to play for your team! The 9th, spend some time in the stands signing caps and cards for your fans (or family and friends, as the case may be). By the 13th and 14th, a newfound sense of maturity and a snazzy new design for your team uniform make you feel like an all-star (and you are!). The 19th, maybe there's a problem out on the field (are your players falling asleep out there?). Fix it, and you'll have a fabulous 18th and 19th (Suh-wiiing, batter, batter!). The 23rd, you and a buddy are up to all kinds of tricks -- and have a ball doing it. The 28th, heads up: What you do now could have big, exciting consequences.

Maybe you've been feeling a little bit like Sisyphus, lately: You know, like every time you roll that old boulder up to the top of the incline, it rolls right back down and you have to start all over again? Well, good news: The 1st, get ready for everything to get easier. The boulder's not so heavy. The incline's not so steep. And best of all, when you get up to the top, that boulder just doesn't roll right back down. What does that mean? It's lunchtime! So take a break, wipe your brow and rest up a bit. By the 4th and 5th, you'll have a whole new set of responsibilities on your plate (and you'll like it). The 9th, take another break. Yes, really. The more rested you are, the better things are going to go for you. The 11th and 12th you could be leading a seminar in boulder rolling -- or doing something equally instructive. Whatever it is, you've been there, and your students can sense your authority. The 17th, whether you're doing some public speaking or public singing or a boulder-rolling-techniques demonstration at the mall, you're in the public eye (and they love you!). The 21st and 22nd you run into a problem. Don't run away from it. By the 27th and 28th, things ease up ... again

So, what old, outdated, outmoded, overused, no-longer-helpful, no-longer-useful, no-longer-good-for-you, only-getting-in-your-way habits have you neglected to cut out of your life? Ask yourself this question on the 1st. Write down any and all answers (or potential answers, or fragments of thought, or hints or suggestions of ideas). Then spend the month fleshing out your list. Do you shut down when you should get angry? Do you smoke? Do you get angry when you should feel hurt? Do you drink too much coffee? Do you feel hurt when you're actually furious? Do you eat too many sweets? Do you still talk to people you shouldn't? Do you not eat enough? Do you not talk to people you should? Do you skip the gym? The 4th and 5th, make at least one change. The 9th and 10th, get some help -- whether it's a friend, a therapist, a dietitian or a yoga instructor. The 11th and 12th, rest, relax and process. By the 17th, you'll have learned at least one very interesting new thing about yourself. The 22nd you'll learn something interesting about someone else who's close to you. Do they have a crush on you? How do you feel about them? The 27th and 28th, go out at night. Sometimes a little (or a lot of) human interaction is one of the most effective ways to achieve insight into yourself.

On the 1st, change something you don't like. Whether it's a bad haircut, a lousy job, or a friendship that's turned into an emotional drain, take action. You'll feel better, guaranteed. By the 4th and 5th, get into close contact with your support network -- it will make all the difference in how you're feeling. On the 9th, if you aren't in tip-top emotional shape, put on your tap shoes and dance the night away, even if you're by yourself in the living room! On the 13th and 14th, you're at the center of things. The folks at work think you're the cat's pajamas, and so do the folks at home. Enjoy it! On the 17th, be on your toes (metaphorically); you could encounter a bit of turbulence. On the 21st, whether it's a problem with a holiday menu or a holiday guest, you've got a solution. By the 25th and 26th, you feel great, you look great and you're getting along with everybody in your vicinity. And you have a fantastic couple of workouts, too! On the 28th, why not think about ditching a bad habit, whether it involves saturated fats or emotionally unavailable partners. On the 31st, whatever you resolve now will come to be later (with the help of your hard work, of course). So make a few resolutions, then enjoy the party!

On the 1st, you put the 'in' in 'insight.' (And you do that when you aren't busy putting the 'sight' in 'insight.') Yes, you see pretty darn clearly, and that puts you in the know when it comes to understanding your situation. And you see the meaning behind all of it: the good, the great and the challenging. What a way to start the last month of the year! On the 2nd and 3rd, it's time to take all this insight (or some of it) and turn it into action. By the 8th and 9th, you're deep in a phase that consists of shifting things and shaking things up and rearranging and redoing and starting again from zero. Your insight continues to serve you when someone used to the emotional status quo gets upset about the changes. (Don't forget: you've got to do what you've got to do, so do it!) On the 13th and 14th, something shifts, big-time. Is it a new romance? An old romance with a new spark? A breakthrough with a family member? A change at work? All of the above? By the 19th, you see things in a new way. On the 23rd, start something (anything) new. It could be as major as a job change or as minor as a new cranberry dressing recipe (which isn't actually that minor). Set a goal or two on the 26th, and on the 31st, make your goals official (hint: Make a New Year's list). Then have a great night.

On the 1st, spend as much of the day outdoors as you can. Go skiing. Go running. Go for a long stroll on the beach. Go skipping. Go jumping. Just get some fresh air in your lungs and feel your heart fill with gladness (and it's good for your blood pressure, too!). There's no better way to start the last month of the year. On the 5th, you're in communication mode. Good for you! On the 9th, if the spirit moves you, go ahead and sing! On the 13th and 14th, spend your days solving a few sticky problems. Yes, you know -- the ones nobody else knows how to deal with. On the 18th and 19th, whether you're hiking, biking, snowboarding or scuba diving, you feel pretty darn fantastic. Breathe in deeply! Exhale! Now, kiss somebody! Ah, winter time. On the 23rd, you suddenly feel freed up. Somehow, in spite of the holiday season's stresses, you have more time, not less, to spend with the folks who mean the most to you. How did you swing that? By being grounded and healthy and saying no to all the unnecessary things? Heck, good strategy! On the 26th, you get reflective -- and thankful for all of the good things in your life. By the 31st, boy are you ready to write those resolutions up! Great! Then go out and have a great time.

Your task for the first day of the last month of the year is to make sure you're connected. Yes, if you look up from your desk and realize you haven't checked in with the five most important people in your life in the last couple of months, then you have your work cut out for you. Put aside those spreadsheets and call them up -- yes, all five of them. Indeed, it takes time out of your day. And yes, you could spend that time working instead of chatting. But having a solid social network is one of the best ways to maintain your strength through thick and thin. Something to think about this holiday season, no? On the 4th and 5th, you may already see some unexpected benefits cropping up in your work. On the 9th, creativity is key for you. By the 13th and 14th, you see a way to make things better. Implement said way to make things better ASAP! On the 19th, let go of something old and try something new. Whether it's a pie-baking method or an approach to disagreements with your sweetie, the results could prove very interesting. Prepare yourself for success on the 23rd. On the 25th and 26th, everything is already on its way, so just sit back and let it happen. By the 31st, you can really take credit for all of the good things you've done this year. Cheers to that!

On the 1st, put on your mittens and your wool cap and sit yourself down on a sled at the top of a hill, then push off! Let the thrills begin! On the 4th and 5th, go ahead and take a step back to check out the hillside. Is it covered in new-fallen powder? A dirty gray slush? Is there any snow at all? Are those rocks you see? Assess the sledding situation before you hike up to the hilltop -- a cool eye is as important as a steady hand, you know. On the 9th, whether you're building a snowman, a snowwoman or an igloo -- or repainting the living room and telling someone how much you love them -- get creative. Your keyword on the 11th and 12th is: housecleaning. And it doesn't necessarily apply to your house (but it could). By the 13th, you're feeling brand-spanking-new, and just about everything is going great. The 14th is more of the same. On the 19th, don't be too shocked if you come up with a really deep insight or two into something like, say, the meaning of life. Sometimes you just hit on something great! By the 22nd, you could be the recipient of a very public congratulations message. Great! On the 28th, you're ready to coast a little. Go for it. On the 31st, reflect, resolve and then ... go to a party!

'Whoa!' is what you might say on the 1st. Wow! Wee! Yippee! Why? Well, there's a whole lot going on, that's why. Lots of it is good, while some of it could be tricky. Phone calls, emails, activities, events, openings, closings, parties, romance -- you name it, it could be happening to you. So go ahead and catch your breath on the 2nd and 3rd. By the 6th and 7th, you start to make a few changes. Less barhopping and more working out leaves you a little more energized, perhaps? Just be sure not to cut out all of the fun. On the 11th and 12th, you've struck a balance. Things are going fantastically, and you might even surprise yourself with how good you feel (the regular gym visits don't hurt, do they?). By the 17th, you could be counseling all kinds of folks -- disgruntled coworkers, disgruntled family members, disgruntled friends -- and helping them find ways out of their problems. Well, if you've got the knack, you've got the knack -- what can you say? You're feeling pretty darned in control by the 21st. Why not do something to celebrate the shortest day of the year? By the 25th, you're ready for a break (so take one!). On the 30th, draw up your resolutions a day early so you can spend the whole of the 31st celebrating!

On the 1st, it's time to wrap up the year by taking stock of where you are. After all, if you don't know where you are, how can you get where you want to go? (Answer: You can't!) How can you make those New Year's resolutions at the end of the month if you don't do a little self-reflection now? So sit down, turn off the TV or the radio and just think. Oh, and drink some hot chocolate. (Why not?) On the 2nd and 3rd, you're at a real turning point -- so enjoy it! Things are always exciting when they're in motion. Spoil yourself a little on the 8th and 9th. After all, it's the holiday season! If you don't take yourself out for a massage, though, somebody else probably will -- the universe is on your side this weekend. On the 13th and 14th, if you want something to happen, by golly, make it happen. By the 19th, you should get to the mall (or the local organic farmer's market and craft fair) if you haven't done your holiday shopping yet. Then, on the 22nd and 23rd, relax! By the 28th, you're ready to do a little more reflecting, and what you learn about yourself could have some pretty far-reaching consequences. On the 31st, you know what time it is: Put on your party clothes, sit down at your coffee table and write up your resolutions. Then go out and have a great time! Happy New Year!

If you start the month feeling particularly territorial, especially on the 1st, don't fret. After all, if you were a bear, it would be hibernation season, and you wouldn't want anybody coming in and disturbing your rest! Even though you're human (and don't actually hibernate), you could have some bearlike impulses if, say, your partner's ex starts calling and leaving messages on the answering machine all the time. Before you roar and swipe at them with your big paw, take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you're a person, not a bear. And calmly let them know how you feel. By the 2nd and 3rd, turn to your nearest and dearest for some support (they know you're just a big bear cub, and they're more than willing to give you some bear hugs). On the 6th and 7th, you're feeling a lot better. In fact, you're feeling great! Enjoy! On the 11th and 12th, it could be time to deal with a few things. How about the things that are constantly irritating you but you aren't able to change? The things that you perhaps need to reexamine and approach from a whole new perspective? By the 17th, you have a new feeling of control, and that's terrific. On the 22nd and 23rd, you're right in the middle of something big. What is it? By the 29th, you know, and knowing is great. On the 31st, celebrate!
