The winter solstice is here, and so is Capricorn season. Since this resilient and enterprising zodiac sign is the only one that ends and begins the year, it feels appropriate that this is the season when we review what we've achieved and make plans for what's next. Since analytical Mercury is still in retrograde, today is especially useful for year-end reviews and activities. Meanwhile, relationships are also highlighted, as flaky behavior could be an issue today. If a connection has been rocky, there could be a make-it-or-break-it moment with respect to New Year's resolutions.

FOR TODAY'S BIRTHDAY
You're independent, inventive and highly intelligent. You hate to follow rules or trends, but you weren't born to fit in anyway. In relationships, you need to be surrounded by people who give you the freedom to be yourself. You encourage others to embrace their own individuality as well. You enjoy experiences that take you outside of your comfort zone. You get the most pleasure out of anything cutting-edge or unconventional. This year, with whatever you dream up, there's a strong chance that you can make it real.
