JANET AMID'S WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

Happy Holiday. Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas is a time for generosity, a time of giving.

Please say a prayer for those less fortunate as well as for those killed in our most recent tragedy. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families.

This week the Sun moves in to the earthy, structured ambitious sign of Capricorn. Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is all about hard work. Those born under this sign are more than happy to put in a full day at the office, realizing that it will likely take a lot of those days to get to the top. That's no problem, since Capricorns are both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one big project for Capricorns and they adapt to this by adopting a businesslike approach to most everything they do. Capricorns are practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as realistic and pragmatic as possible. The Capricorn-born are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness. Those victories sure smell sweet, though, and that thought alone will keep Capricorns going.

This week you might be surprised at the power of your inner voice if you rely on your own experiences. Believe in yourself and that you're speaking with clarity of vision and strength of purpose.
