. World news – CA – your daily horoscope: 8. December

You can change your life for the better in the year ahead, but don’t try to change everything at once. Take it step by step and get it right the first time. Stay in good relationships with people in positions of power – you will need them on your side.

It seems like some of your plans and projects have stalled, but they are not at all. It’s important to step back occasionally and see what you are doing from a higher and broader perspective. Do this now and the progress will be quick.

Although you’ve done a lot behind the scenes lately, you’ve actually done a lot. So don’t be frustrated if it doesn’t seem that your efforts have been noticed. Your time to step into the spotlight will come – and maybe sooner than you think.

It’s not that you’re that careful, especially with money, but your sixth sense is telling you this is not a good time to make money. When looking to buy something, make sure you can pay for it in advance – don’t borrow it to finance it.

You may disagree with someone on numerous issues, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get along with them. Your beliefs may be very different from your own, but if you get together today there is a lot you can teach each other.

If someone you live or work with needs help today, you will do all you can to help them in any way you can. You may come across as a person thinking only of himself at times, but that is far from the truth.

Keep your standards high for the next 24 hours and make sure everyone around you is keeping their standards high too. It is important that everyone pulls their weight as the line between success and failure is extraordinarily thin right now.

Like it or not, you have to give a little ground under your feet today. It shouldn’t be too hard – Libra is a sign of compromise, after all – but it can annoy you that not everyone is so eager to find a solution to certain problems. You have to lead them.

If you need to postpone something that you looked forward to today, do it and wait for a better time. You still have a lot of work to do, so it may be necessary to miss out on fun things. You will make it up to you later.

What you need to realize most today is that you do not have unlimited resources. If you are looking to buy or own something, make sure you can afford it before reaching for your money. You could easily get over your head financially.

Try not to get upset about an issue that is only minor in the larger scheme of things. If others want to play silly games or say things that you know aren’t true, that’s fine. When you feel like you need to react, just laugh at them.

What a friend has to say to you today may not be what you were hoping for, but it will still be good advice. So don’t ignore him. Realize that you are not infallible, that you are making mistakes. You are human so you will never be perfect.

If you take sides in an argument today, you may well regret it tomorrow. No matter how many friends and colleagues you ask to stand up for them, you must not interfere. It’s their problem, so let them sort it out.
