frustratedpilotSagittarius Horoscope for week of December 8, 2011
Harvey Ball was a commercial artist who dreamed up the iconic image of the smiley face. He whipped it out in ten minutes one day in 1963. Unfortunately for him, he didn't trademark or copyright his creation, and as a result made only $45 from it, even as it became an archetypal image used millions of times all over the world. Keep his story in the back of your mind during the coming weeks, Sagittarius. I have a feeling you will be coming up with some innovative moves or original stuff, and I would be sad if you didn't get proper credit and recognition for your work.
The problem is that I'm not sure I trust legal professionals with my ideas. And too many other people don't want me to have ideas. But I love a good idea, when I see one happen.
