Tuesday, January 1, 2008: Welcome 2008!


ARIES:  The Sun and Jupiter in Capricorn amps up your ambition and motivates you to climb the ladder however you would like to consider it. This year promises to bring career opportunities much closer to you, Aries. The year begins with the Moon in Libra, and this bodes a meeting with someone who could be a partner, which makes your dream so much easier to fulfill.


TAURUS: The year begins with the emphasis on your sector of higher intellect and education, travel and foreign connections. You’re seeing the possibilities for taking your experience into a much larger area. Perhaps you’re thinking of taking courses. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.” Dream a little higher, and don’t underestimate yourself, Taurus.


GEMINI: The planets shine a light on what’s going on under the surface. While you’re good skirting around an issue, at some point it needs bringing out into the open, Gemini. Set a direction and make sure that what you give and get are in some way connected. The year begins with the Moon in Libra, which gets your creative thinking up a few notches and helps you to find the right place to be.


CANCER: The year begins with warrior Mars in your secret sector, so watch your step as this influence undermines your ability to see clearly. When you expect the worse, then you are almost asking for it, Cancer. You also have to be conscious of passive-aggressive tendencies. Confidence begins with self-belief. If you make the first move, even tentatively, you’ll be in a far better position to make the next one.


LEO: Is your heart in your work? Are you being appreciated for what you do? These are questions that the Sun in Capricorn poses to the Lion as you begin the year. Perhaps you’ve been doing something just for the money but this year you can be pursuing a dream that is much closer to your heart. The year starts off with the Moon in Libra and you begin to realize where your priorities lie at long last!


VIRGO: These times are anything but easy but Virgo is in a good position to give a cherished dream a shot at reality. With a determined Sun in Capricorn right now you must trust your instincts more than ever. There’s no need to extend patience or wait for things to unravel. You can be the one to shake up the world and declare what’s what. It’s a year to play your “A” game!


LIBRA:  Family matters and children are close to your heart this year, and you can learn a great deal from the little ones or your own childhood experiences. Make life as simple as you can, Libra. There’s a danger of using your intellect just a tad too much. This year may show you that the answer lies not in technology or hotshot methods, but good old common sense. Stick to what you know is right!


SCORPIO: Have you been working hard and long, Scorpio? Jupiter in Capricorn brings a reward cycle for those who have. It benefits your cash flow, personal resources, physical and emotional vitality and brings you more of what you truly value. Life finally eases after a long period of strain. Be encouraged. Who knows you’ll be counting cash more than you expected by the end of this year?


SAGITTARIUS:  Last year, mighty Jupiter was in your sign. Hopefully you have established a firm sense of who you are and where you are going for now you can turn your value into hard cash, since Jupiter is now in your financial sector. You can bet that you won’t starve and money comes to you when you need it! And yet, this isn’t just about money but the material world and what it means to you, Sagittarius.


CAPRICORN:  With Jupiter in your sign you have the power to shape current circumstances that leads to future success. Get ready to act on your New Year’s resolution, Capricorn.  Take a deep breath, fix on your goal and begin. Get support from others, especially from those in authority. Remember that success also depends on who you know, so ask now for introductions.


AQUARIUS: What you have been working on has brought you to this point and though you feel a sense of achievement, you are now on the next rung of the ladder, Aquarius. It looks like never-ending responsibility, but reward awaits those who persevere. Life is like climbing a mountain and that once you’re at the top you see there are more mountains to be climbed. You’re at the start of a very important year!


PISCES: If you’re looking to expand your connections, there’s no better year for that, and no better time to start planning than right now! Benefic Jupiter in your sector of chosen friends for the most part of this year bodes luck in this area and you will most probably attract those wealthier than yourself. Make hay while the sun shines, Pisces. Don’t take it too easy as this fortunate cycle doesn’t last forever!

Wednesday, January 2, 2008: A look at love, 2008


ARIES:  An ex may ask for a second chance, or a current flame may be pressing you for commitment. There’s no reason to rush. The Ram has this year to do a lot of sightseeing in far-off places and there’s an opportunity to meet someone during your travels that obliterates the need to look back! Those in a twosome are due for a wonderful time, complete with a contentment package you weren't expecting quite so soon!

TAURUS: Your ruler Venus begins the year in your sector of sex – that should say it all, Taurus! Jesting aside, you seem to be embarking on a love roller-coaster at the beginning of this year. Don’t fret if you fall in and out of love. It may seem like trial-and-error to find the One. Married? Are you steaming because he doesn’t have that much time for you?  Busy is good – he’s making big bucks for you!


GEMINI: Tired of always having to do things yourself? Solution: Boyfriend! Take it easy on work, Gemini. This year you should be giving yourself time for love, and who says chivalry is dead? Don’t fret if your phone isn’t ringing off the hook at first. That’s going to change. Married Gemini’s are great multi-taskers but you should give in to your man’s request for a long vacation just for the two of you.


CANCER: It’s time you got over playing pretty wallflower, Cancer. Be bold. Make the first move, ask him out, flirt like crazy – whatever it takes to get him to notice you! Guys love a determined woman. Committed? Being too hard on him won’t get you good results. If you choose your words with care he’ll do exactly what you ask. He does love you, after all.


LEO: Is this for real, Leo? Are you really, really serious? Only introduce him to family if you’re prepared to deal with the possible outcomes. If you have to defend your love, maybe you should consider if it really is love. It seems to be all about work for partnered Lions. There’s work on your home, work on your relationship. Yes, it’s a chore, but don’t give up. It will all pay off in the end.


VIRGO: Stress from work makes it hard to focus on love. Find ways to relax. Weekends in a yoga or meditation class helps to get your mind off the strain and focused on more pleasurable things like – sex! Mated Virgos shouldn’t have huge expectations about how their better half is supposed to support them. Take it easy on him and realize that it’s a joint effort where two individuals contribute and benefit.


LIBRA:  Even if you’re a virtual relationship non-believer, this year could change your perception of long-distance love, or at least water down your skepticism. You’ll be saving on call money if you make your way to the keyboard instead, and start typing. For partnered Librans, things can really heat up between you, but there’s the bedroom for that! Passion will always keep things exciting!


SCORPIO: You’re head over heels in lust as Mars begins the year retracing his steps in your sector of passion and sex. Enjoy the thrill that comes with a steamy affair! At least, there’s got to be one! Just remember that whatever you do, don’t analyze it. Go with the flow. Committed Scorpions want to make sure they’ve got a man with backbone. Otherwise, expect frustration!


SAGITTARIUS:  Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, there’s something about you that calls them out in droves! Venus is in your sign, so it’s all about your enviable power of attraction. There's just no way to describe how charming you are, but you should see the effects of it soon. For mated Archers, a heart-to-heart with your sweetie irons out any wrinkles in your marriage. Don’t worry, he’s listening!


CAPRICORN:  With Pluto coming into this sign, Cappies are likely to have an intense start with whomever they meet. Take time to evaluate the relationship with a more objective eye – that is, when you finally come up for air! Coupled Mountain Goats are feeling feistier than ever. Watch out for arguments and deflect them by creating a demanding but important project that the two of you can accomplish together.


AQUARIUS: Challenged by love, Aquarius? Singles may be feeling the pressure to find love. It’s definitely open season in affairs of the heart, so meet the challenge head on with don’t-hold-anything-back effort! Partnered Water Bearers need to spice up their partnership with more spontaneity. Treat him to a last-minute romantic getaway!  Boredom is the last thing you should allow to set in. It’s a relationship killer.


PISCES: You’re much sought after as Venus occupies the top of your chart. Thanks to whatever you’re doing differently, your beauty is at an all-time high. Suitors abound, but don’t rush into anything, Pisces. Make sure they’re not just into your looks! Partnered Fishes have a lot of sorting out and compromising to do as Saturn activates your sector of marriage. Love and commitment make for the strongest bonds!
