We all have our personality flaws. Here's some astrological tips to get a better perspective of who you are. Buzz60's Djenane Beaulieu (@djenanebeaulieu) reports
Media: Buzz60STARCAST: The new moon in fiery Saj plus the sun, Pluto and Saturn in determined Capricorn virtually guarantee that--Yes!--you will get that last minute shopping done! And yes again, there will be life after Christmas. For now, celebrate the magic of the winter solstice on Thursday.
ARIES (March 20-April 18)
Despite mischief under the mistletoe, a powerful planetary trio provides praise and plaudits. Happy Solstice, indeed! The combo packs all the wit, strength and substance you need to ensure a cool Yule. Just don't do anything to Scrooge it up.
TAURUS (April 19-May 19)
Where's the guarantee that Christmas is an endless Dickens Faire? This year may fall short of the Bob Cratchit ideal. More bah hum bug than fa la la la. Happily, there is life after holidaze. A confused home or family issue is about to lift. The Christmas Fairy guarantees it.
GEMINI (May 20-June 19)
Was 2017 a great year!? Well, maybe. For some Geminis, anyway. Whether or no, the time's come to do the Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas thing. Hopefully you've not only made things happen but gotten credit for it. Act now to solidify gains, then practice your acceptance speech.
CANCER (June 20-July 21)
Saturn, Pluto and sun do a spirited Christmas polka in your one-on-one house. Some partnerships-are lovey-dovey, others business. Jovial Jupiter suggests that the trick is to get up close and personal but not overly sentimental. Pull that off and you're looking at a holiday extravaganza.

LEO (July 22-Aug. 21)
Where's the guarantee that Christmas is an endless Dickens Faire? This year may fall short of the Bob Cratchit ideal. More bah hum bug than fa la la la. Happily, heads clear after holidaze. A confused home or family issue is about to lift. The Christmas Fairy guarantees it.
VIRGO (Aug. 22-Sept.21)5
A confrontation with a bunch of power tripping reindeer appears probable. Try not to fee fi foe fumble. Someone near and dear to you--possibly a Saj or Scorpio--would make a fabulous sounding board. Schedule a heart to heart this very day.
LIBRA (Sept. 22-Oct. 21)
You won't forget 2017. There's been a time to plan, a time to push and now-at last!-a little down time. Take a stroll down Christmas Tree Lane. Meditate on how far you've come, then look ahead to 2018 when Jupiter sits like a fairy godperson in your counting house. Merry! Merry!
SCORPIO (Oct. 22-Nov. 20)
Who am I? What do I really want? With Jupiter firmly settled in your sign, you may well ask. Despite the Winter Solstice's mystical grace, Jupiter's presence is a practical reminder that Christmas is just another milestone. The weeks ahead are prep time for a harvest in 2018.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20) 2
You're on the verge of a breakthrough that justifies the struggles of 2017. If you can just keep clear of mistletoe hazards and avoid that fatal plunge into the eggnog (in other words, all the naughtiness you adore) the tra la la stuff will be a true triumph.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan.19)
Help yourself to another slice of mincemeat and a second swig of eggnog. With solemn Saturn as a roommate, you'll need that holiday cheer. Saturn transits are about discipline. The good part is that what you learn remains an asset all your life. In other news: Lucky Jupiter is an ace in the hole with friends and colleagues.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 17)
The big guys in snazzy three-piece elf suits gather once again your house of secrets. Pluto, Saturn and that lucky old sun each offer a leg up, so to speak. Think of all you've accomplished this year, then ensure that your upcoming birthday is the frosting on the fruit cake.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 19)
The ghost of Pisces Past continues to rattles his chains. It's not enough to do the "If I knew then what I know now" thing. The time's come to confront that restless shade once and for all. The issue involves an expansion of mind and spirit. Travel of one kind or another factors in. Best to call in an exorcist.
MINERVA'S MAILBAG
Question: So this Leo is not feeling lioness like. What, if anything, can you say about Leos? Some people want me to roar.
Answer: Yes, there are times when a sophisticated purr just won't cut it. A mighty roar will be called for at some point in the near future. Call it a mandate for advancement. You'll be more than ready to step outside your comfort zone since the rewards will be clearly visible.
With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion, warming your 4th house (home, family and real estate) babies and/or increased interaction with younger people is clearly indicated.
Saturn in your nitty-gritty house suggests an over abundance of workaday chores. Learn to say "no" nicely. Your own health and well being is or should be, numero uno.
Your love life will be filled with drama-but admit it-that's how your like it.
