Tom was one of the best! He is missed by many.

Suzanne, My thoughts are with you as you are soon to have a birthday. You have had your share of losses in the last few years and then the cancer thing stuck it's ugly head up. Hang in there and know you are in our thoughts. Happy early birthday to You!

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Sagittarius

It's difficult to keep your mind on what you're doing today because it keeps wandering off in all directions. There won't be much you can do about this except to be aware of it, and preferably to postpone doing anything very complicated or important until you're less distracted and absent-minded. Unfortunately, you won't get very far with it at the moment.
