Capricorn

Your SmartScope for November 2009:

How do you know when you're so good at something, you're a master? The best of the best don't have to think about what they're doing. They are so in tune with what they are doing, that they seem to move by intuition alone. The star soccer player doesn't have to think about her footing as she dribbles down the field. She lives in the moment and lets her body do what it needs to do.

How do you get to be a master at what you do in your life? It takes lots of practice. The more times you do something, the better your body learns it. Pretty soon your body remembers for you, just like tying your shoelaces and riding a bicycle. You don't have to think about how to do it at all.

It's worth it to find something you love to do and then practice it until your body learns it for you. There are few things in life that will give you more joy. What is it that you want to practice this month? Music? A sport? Cooking? Exercise? Writing? The more you practice, the more fun you will get out of it.

About You, Capricorn:

Famous Female Capricorn:

Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932) is an American actress and singer. In her earlier career she sang with jazz legend Duke Ellington, but went on to pursue acting. She became one of the first black women to star in a major television series - not as a servant - when she took the role of Lieutenant Uhura on Star Trek in 1966. Originally, she questioned the character, debating leaving the show. However, a conversation with Martin Luther King Jr. convinced her that she needed to stay so that audiences could see people of color in a diversity of roles. After the series was over she worked with NASA to help recruit women and people of color into the U.S. space agency.
