SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fair is fair, and that’s how events will unfold. What you put in, you will get back. It’s simple: if you avoid what needs doing, you will not excel; if you are productive, you will. Travel and participation will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Ask for favors. Get involved in a cause, but most of all, enjoy the company of someone you think is special. Romance is in the stars. A day geared toward showing how much you care will be well received. It will also be amply repaid.
