♑ CAPRICORN

(December 22-January 19)
In classical music, a "fermata" is a symbol on the sheet music that instructs the instrumentalist to hold a note longer than its written duration. How long? It's unpredictable. The musician decides. I think your life would benefit from a metaphorical fermata or two, Capricorn—maybe even more. You won't come to a protracted pause, but you will engage in strategic prolonging, extending certain notes beyond their expected duration. Examples? Lingering longer in a conversation from which you're inclined to exit early; staying with an ambiguous emotion rather than rushing to resolution; allowing a project to develop more leisurely than you might if you were simply pushing for sheer efficiency. Opt for what's soulful instead of what's crisp and neat.
