Don't let delays disappoint you or stop you from pursuing a goal. Be patient.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

A contract, some information, perhaps even a new car can be on the horizon, Aquarius. You get a fresh start with the New Moon solar eclipse in Aries in your solar house of communication, local travel and automobiles.

If you get a chance to take something rather than deny or reject it, consider it a gift to use for the betterment of others. Who better than you to have it, then?
