LOL Thought I'd post a look at the year ahead for this first day of January, 2011.Enjoy.......... PamAries Mar 20 - Apr 20 YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships Despite your rugged individualism, cooperation and compromise is the oil that keeps your relationship wheels turning.

Patience and persistence is the key but you may also need to make changes in your lifestyle to make room for new people in your life. If you're serious about love then this could be your year. Couples </h4> Relationship matters will become increasingly important over the next couple of years. This may also be a testing time, a time of important decisions. Be prepared to let go of people and things that keep interfering or getting in the way of your relationship. You may feel it's time to decide whether you're ready for a new start, to deepen your commitment or even marriage. However, if you can't decide then circumstance may encourage you to make up your mind. Make neglect the needs of your relationship. Money </h4> Aries frequently prefer to live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself. Al-though your financial situation looks favourable, desire for fun, pleasure and romance could burn a hole in your pocket. What appears to be more significant than the ins and outs of your cash flow next year is your attitude to money and material possessions. Therefore this would be a good time to start planning for, and investing in, your future. Financial considerations may be an increasingly important factor influencing your relationship decisions and you're likely to benefit financially from others, personally and professionally over the next twelve months. You may even feel drawn to someone who appears to offer you greater financial and emotional security. Business partnerships are also well-starred but they're likely to be serious. Greater financial security will bring a greater sense of emotional well-being. Career </h4> Eclipse activity suggests long-term career change could be on the cards. You may seriously consider relinquishing one life path in favour of another that promises greater opportunities to improve your status and reputation and make your dreams a reality. An important emotional or business partnership could also influence your career direction and you should allow your work and working relationships to take priority. Fate will have a hand in the opportunities that come your way so be prepared to travel or even move if the right opportunity presents itself. If you've lost your sense of focus and direction then now is the time to get back on the right path towards a fulfilling vocation. How you present yourself will be important, so invest in your wardrobe and dress to impress. When opportunity knocks, be prepared to go where the grass is greenest. Family </h4> With the South Node travelling though Cancer, you could feel you're stagnating if you're spending too much time at home, trapped in your domestic routine and family dramas. Therefore you'll benefit from getting out more and making time and space to pursue your own interests and life path. If you're unhappy or unsatisfied in the place or community in which you live then maybe it's time to move on to pastures new. Saying goodbye or moving away from family and loved ones is never easy, however, if there're some individuals with whom you seem to be stuck in the past, then maybe it's time to create a healthy distance enabling you to renew and refresh the relationship in the future.Taurus 20 Apr - 20 May YOUR YEAR AHEAD When it comes to love you seldom make the first move, preferring to attract what you want to you. However you may have to venture outside your usual scene and routine if youre looking for fresh opportunities for romance. Fortunately, this promises to be a good year for you socially and you could meet someone special while studying, travelling or through your spiritual interests. You may even find yourself drawn to someone from a different background or culture to your own. Make the most of opportunities to get out and about and meet new people. Love - Couples </h4> As your new yearly cycle gets underway there is the potential of tension on the domestic front if you allow the demands or opinions of family members, relatives or friends interfere in your relationship. Although youre likely to be busy, its important to be patient and not too critical of each other, especially when youre tired or stressed. Youll strengthen your relationship by making time for each other, for privacy and for expressing the more intimate side of your relationship. Dont let your busy schedule prevent you from spending time together. Money </h4> Desire for greater financial security and stability will motivate you to improve your financial situation and acquire the trappings of wealth and status. You can prosper by exploiting your natural feel for money, good business sense and ability to attract what you need. However, this will require you make some significant changes in your life, both personally and psychologically. You should find that the more youre prepared to break away from old habits, lifestyle choices and ways of thinking, the more youll benefit financially. Looking good will make you feel good so be prepared to invest in a more sophisticated new look and lifestyle. Presenting the right image, is also important for your professional and financial success. Nevertheless, be patient and get professional advice before making any major financial commitments. A change of attitude and lifestyle is the key to attracting greater prosperity. Career </h4> Over the next twelve months the quantity and quality of your work is likely to increase. You may get a bigger job or more responsibility. Nevertheless this is an excellent time to return to study or training. Youre likely to do well in subjects that interest you, but try to do something creative, technical and relevant to your career goals. The key to career success this year and beyond is to develop greater technical expertise and specialisation in your work. Work and health are linked, so dont take on too much. Learning to say no will reduce stress levels. Try to look after your health and develop a more effective and efficient daily routine. This will enable you to manage your workload and keep your edge in the market place. The more you develop your skills and specialise the higher youll climb. Family </h4> Your calm, steady and patient approach to life will stand you in good stead in what could be a busy and possibly disruptive time on the domestic front. Those of you with children could find they make extra demands on your time and energy, especially during the summer. Consequently, this may be a good time for you to put your energy into sorting out and improving your home life and living environment. You may feel the need to assert yourself with relatives, neighbours, flatmates or your landlord. However since there is the potential for tension and conflict, if youve something to say, try to remain calm and dont let stubbornness or pride become an obstacle to reaching agreement and compromise. Gemini 21 May - 21 Jun YOUR YEAR AHEAD Love - Singles </h4> If you're looking for love then you could soon find yourself thinking more seriously about relationships and even considering making a commitment. Something that starts out as a flirtation or bit of fun may turn into something more serious, and complicated. If you do get involved take a little more care with contraceptives and don't drink too much when dating. Also, be open to the advances of someone, possibly several years older or younger, who thinks you've a beautiful mind. If you're ready to get serious this could be your year. Couples </h4> You need to feel a sense of freedom and independence in your relationship and tend to resist other's restrictive emotional demands. Therefore if you feel you need more space, communicate. However, although you like to express your opinions your tongue can be as sharp as a bee's backside. To avoid misunderstandings and disagreements, try not to take differences of opinion too personally. Nevertheless, this should be a good time to have some serious fun and working together on a creative projects. Don't neglect the importance of flattery, flirtation and small talk. Money </h4> Because this promises to be a good year for you professionally you should also benefit financially. However, be patient or your tendency to spend money before you have it could get you in trouble. There could be times when you have to wait to receive money owed but because you may feel you need to spend money to make money, you could have cash flow problems if you spread yourself too thin. Therefore there may be times when you feel you have to turn to others for help. Fortunately, you should find it relatively easy to get hold of the finance, resources or credit you need to further your goals. However, if you squander the extra money that comes available to you on retail therapy this could create problems later. Use the extra money that come your way wisely and you'll reap the benefits later. Career </h4> The next twelve months promises to bring an improvement in your status and reputation and be a good year for your career and vocation. You should find it easier to progress and so the more effort you put into furthering your ambitions, the more you'll benefit. Be prepared to promote yourself and be open to opportunities that come your way because a new career path may open up before you. Whether it's a case of being in the right place at the right time or others giving you a helping hand, if there's a personal project you're passionate about, but need backing and support then now is the time to ask. So if you've the urge to take a creative interest or hobby to a new level, go for it. This is an excellent time for promoting yourself and your talents. Family </h4> Demands of home, family or your private life which have bogged you down in re-cent years should start to ease by the autumn. In the meantime, it would be pru-dent to sort out your domestic affairs and do what's necessary to improve your living situation. There's the risk of tension or disagreements over the summer, especially if you feel you're being prevented from getting on with your life. Doing some DIY around the house would be a constructive way to burn off excess energy and tension. Nevertheless, try to be patient and productive, since any frustrations you feel should soon pass. For those prepared for the extra demands children bring, this could be the time to add to your family. Finish unfinished business and get on with your life. Cancer 22 Jun - 22 Jul YOUR YEAR AHEAD Love - Singles </h4> This could be a major year for love and romance. You shouldn't have to travel too far in search of opportunities and may even trip over Cupid a few times before the penny drops. However, it's important that you're prepared to reach out to others and not sit at home waiting for the phone to ring. If fate, or circumstance, conspires to keep you crossing paths with someone who catches your eye, don't be bashful about making the first move. All it takes is one hello . Love - Couples </h4> Relationships will work better now if you shift the focus away from yourself and towards others. Be prepared to go out of your way to make your partner feel needed, loved and desirable. If you've been dating and are considering deepening your commitment or establishing a home, family or even marriage, then this could be the time. When you're feeling hurt, rather than worry or withdraw into your shell, it's important to talk rather than let resentments or misunderstandings grow. Don't expect others to read your mind. Money </h4> If you've been a little careless with your cash flow in the first half of 2010, you may have to tighten your belt in the second half. Expenditures associated with your family, home or property could be higher than expected so be sensible and keep a little in your piggy bank just in case. While you may do well financially from a home or property matter, take your time and don't over-extend yourself. Impatience and impulsiveness could prove costly, so don't be rushed into making big purchases; all that glistens is not gold. Fortunately, you've an eye for a bargain and using some personal initiative could bring financial benefits. Therefore, whether you're looking for a new home, outfit or job, be prepared negotiate and shop around for the best deal. Keep hold of those purse strings and don't spend your lolly before you've earned it. Career </h4> Your recent hard work should bring benefits in the second half of 2010. As your new yearly cycle gets underway, the summer could bring a sudden and even unexpected opportunity to change your job or role. Openings and opportunities that present themselves during this period could be paving the way for bigger changes in 2011 and beyond. Therefore stay flexible and open to working with new technology, people or working methods. If you've a burning desire for greater freedom and to break away from old work patterns then think seriously about making big changes. In uncertain times, fortune favours the brave, so feel the fear and do it anyway. This is also an important year for relationships so be prepared to team up with others rather than going it alone. Be open to new and unusual opportunities. Family </h4> Saturn's presence in Libra until 2012 is ushering in a significant period in which you'll endeavour to establish more solid foundations in your life, but first you need to have a bit of a clear out. Whether that means a spring clean, a car boot sale or something more emotionally complex, it's time to sort things out. You may seriously consider moving or rearranging your domestic situation because of emotional or financial considerations. If your children are growing up fast, or your parents are still treating you like a child, then try to develop more balanced relationships. This is especially important with your closest family as well as older family members who may need your help and support over the next twelve months. Time for a spring clean. Leo 23 Jul - 22 Aug YOUR YEAR AHEAD Love - Singles </h4> The office, gym, health centre or supermarket could be a source of romantic opporutnities. You may meet someone younger, or less mature who needs a helping hand. It's even possible that an employee, subborinate or someone under your wing may tickle your fancy. However, they might enjoy the limelight as much as you and so you may need to be a little bit more patient and sensitive than usual if you want the relationship to develop beyond a promising flirtation. Be prepared to bend over backwards for someone special. Love - Couples </h4> When stressed or tired, try not to be too critical of each other, especially if one of you has to spend more time away from home for family or work reasons. Because your partner may need your help and support more than usual it's important to be approachable otherwise they may be tempted to brush things under the carpet. Short little romantic trips away will be a great way to escape the hustle and bustle and spice up your lovelife. Acceptance of each other's imperfections is the key to emotional harmony. Money </h4> Opportunities for additional work bringing additional pay is likely but you may not always be adequately rewarded for your skills. Naturally, when you're busy earning money, you're not out spending money. However, if you're got certain anxieties over money matters, a more organized approach to managing your cash flow should reduce stress levels. Getting financial advice or taking a money management or bookkeeping course may also prove profitable to you in the long run. For those with family obligations, children and pets could bring additional expenses so keep a little stash under the mattress just in case. Nevertheless, you've a certain amount of luck on your side and may be able to tap into an additional income stream from areas associated with communications, education, spirituality and foreign people and places. Get on top of your finances and you'll prevent them getting on top of you. Career </h4> Fate will have a hand in career openings and opportunities and you may even head off down a new career path. Therefore if you've another vocational interest or sideline outside your usual job then prepared to give it a go. Although it will pay to step up and take on more work or responsibility, be careful not to get yourself into a position with little room for flexibility or initiative or you may start feeling trapped, like a big fish in a small bowl. At times, the pressure to meet targets or maintain high standards could be a potential source of stress. Therefore try to get on top of your finances or you may feel you've little room for maneuver or choice when it come to career decisions and priorities. Trust in fate and when the doors open be prepared to make your move. Family </h4> Don't allow family and domestic concerns prevent you from pursuing your vocational interests if the right opportunity comes along to move on and make personal progress in your life. Whether this involves a change in your domestic priorities, a minor move or major relocation, your life will flow the more you're prepared to let go of the past and embrace the future. If you've felt chained to the kitchen sink that too has got to change because it's time to make room for you to express yourself and play. You can get a lot of enjoyment from spending time with children, but you won't want to be the disciplinarian, you'll be happy having fun, fooling around and being a kid again. Try not to let your emotional attachments prevent you from getting on with your life. Virgo 23 Aug - 22 Sep YOUR YEAR AHEAD Your Character </h4> Acquiring physical, financial and material security can bring you emotional stability. You can find fulfilment by achieving or creating something useful and meaningful in the material, physical world. Reliable, trustworthy and modest, you've a sharp wit, discriminating intellect and penetrating mind and may seek to uncover the hidden order at work in the universe and in your everyday life. Concerned with the practicalities of life, you don't like wasting your time, energy or resources and have a talent for combining intuition with the ability to make discriminating judgements that are not clouded by emotion. Young looking, demure and softly spoken, you've a lusty side but can appear reserved when meeting people for the first time. You've a reputation for being a perfectionist, which is excellent when it comes to your work, however, when you turn your critical eye on yourself and others you can sometimes make like difficult for yourself. Relationships </h4> Don't let your social commitments or the opinions of friends frustrate your love life. Changing your habits, routine and lifestyle may be necessary to turn romantic potential into reality. Someone you've a soft spot for could be back on the scene and you might even find yourself trying to rescue someone who's life is a little complicated or be tempted by someone who's not quite free. Sometimes it's unrealistic to expect the workload and financial contribution in relationships to be to split 50-50. Nevertheless, if things are becoming too one-sided, it may be necessary, and healthy, to get things more balanced. However deep is your love, it's important to have time and money to pursue your own interests outside relationships. You may need to make some lifestyle changes to maximise your love potential. Money </h4> As you reap the benefits from your hard graft of recent years, you may find others only too willing to help themselves to a piece of your pie. So while this promises to be a good year for you financially, you may need to stop behaving like Santa Clause if you want to move up in the world. If certain loved ones are proving to be a persistent drain on your resources then you've a right to expect others to pull their weight. You'd also be right to live for today but plan for tomorrow but not everyone will appreciate the benefits of a more responsible approach to money. If so, then maybe it's time to put your foot down. Live for today but plan for tomorrow. Career </h4> Virgo's are known to be effective workers and are highly valued in the workplace. However, in recent years you've had a lot on your plate and have had to get leaner and meaner to survive and prosper. But like a fine wine you've matured and the next few years should correspond with you reaping the rewards for your hard work and persistence. Therefore, you may find yourself in a more prominent or independent role, where the quality of your work speaks for itself. However, money could be a source of conflict so be firm and insist you're adequately rewarded for your efforts. Otherwise, be prepared to move on to another area or industry where your skills are more highly regarded. Time to start reaping the rewards of your hard work in recent years. Family </h4> When family tensions, disagreements and misunderstandings surface, it pays to keep yourself out of the fray and be seen to adopt a neutral, conciliatory position, even if you're more sympathetic or loyal to one side than the other. This is especially so if valued possessions, money or property appear to be the source of the problem. At the same time, a more detached, and less emotionally charge approach to home, family and property matters will help you make sensible and prudent decisions not clouded by emotion. While certain family members may lean on you for support, make it clear you'll do what you can but you've your own life to lead and won't succumb to temper tantrums or emotional blackmail. Others will look to you for help and guidance so you need to be seen to be firm and fair. Wellbeing </h4> You appreciate the benefits of self development more than most, but there are times when you need to sit back and appreciate and accept yourself for who and what you are. For it is said that water that is too pure has no fish. Your perfectionist tendencies are excellent for your work and creative life but you can make a hair shirt for yourself in your desire for continual self improvement. Nevertheless, this would be an excellent time to develop a spiritual practice or exercise routine around guided meditation, visualisation or yoga. Other areas of esoteric interest for which you could have a natural talent and therefore may want to investigate or develop include dowsing, graphology, numerology, palmistry and astrology. Learning to love oneself is the greatest love of all.Libra 23 Sep - 23 Oct YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships </h4> While it looks like you're in a fertile period for love, romance is unlikely to be straightforward and communications, whether by phone, emails etc., could quickly develop a strongly erotic overtone. You don't have to throw yourself at anyone's feet but be prepared to take the initiate. Fluttering your eyelids or flashing your dimpled smile should help get the ball rolling while fate, circumstance and Cupid will give you a helping hand. There'll probably be something special about the object of your affection; they could be someone who has recently returned from being away or re-entered your life or social scene. But be patient since they may even be someone getting themselves back on their feet after a difficult period. Remember, it's not what you say but the way that you say it. Money </h4> Libra's Achilles' heel is often assumed to be romance when in fact, it's often more to do with money. Admittedly, Libra's pursuit of the former is often the excuse for the latter. Nevertheless, over the next twelve months, by your own devices, you're likely to find it comparatively easy to draw money and resources to you. Unfortunately, if you don't exercise some prudence and hold onto your lolly long enough to build up a cushion, you're likely to spread yourself too thin and be left playing catch-up. You know how money makes the world go round and don't like to see yours gathering dust. However, it would be wise to only buy those things you've sufficient money to pay for. Cut your coat according to your cloth. Career </h4> It appears to be a bit of a mixed bag for you career wise. At times, you may feel like the star player in a mediocre team and even that some of your superiors are not up to the job. Your ability to co-operate and compromise with others can make you popular. However, your need for approval and acceptance can sometimes prevent you from making the most of your talents. Nevertheless, when left to your own devices, you're likely to excel and your sharp, versatile mind and ability to deal with others will win you friends and influence. Therefore seek out more independent positions where you can show initiative. As greater responsibility beckons, you'll need accept you can't please everybody. Time to live up to your reputation as the iron fist in the velvet glove. Family </h4> You're maturing fast and may find others increasingly turning to you for guidance. Whatever your true feelings, you rarely take sides and so could find yourself in the position of peacemaker between conflicting parties. However, when things are clearly unbalanced, reluctance to call a spade a spade for fear of making waves could prove counter-productive. Therefore, if certain domestic dramas are getting out of hand, be prepared to tell it like it is, even if that puts some people's backs up. Do what you can to build bridges but leave it to others to follow your advice if they wish. Other's know you're fair-minded but it may take time for things to calm down and your words to sink in. As others look to you for guidance, it's important to be seen to be fair and honest. Wellbeing </h4> Libra, your Sun sign, is ruled by the planet Venus. Venus is associated with love, pleasurable, the finer things in life but also lust, sweeties and self-indulgence. Obviously, it's always advisable to check with a healthcare professional before making significant lifestyle and dietary changes. Nevertheless, when Saturn travels through our Sun sign we often feel a powerful urge to get leaner and meaner. Therefore with serious and sober Saturn in Libra until October 2012, if you're serious about adopting a healthier way of life, you should find it easier to exercise self-discipline. Saturn brings an increased sense of responsibility and a tremendous sense of purpose and so this period can represent a major time in your life, personally and professionally. If you've let yourself slide then it's time to get leaner and meaner. Scorpio 24 Oct - 21 Nov YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships </h4> Because you're prepared to give so much you expect, even demand, a lot in return. Not surprisingly, you may prove too much for more superficial individuals. Since you crave emotional stability, you're reluctant to change your relationship setup. Therefore when change does come, it tends to be dramatic. So if you've been putting up with a difficult situation then matters could come to ahead and demand to be dealt with. The sexual side of things is emphasized but if you let yourself be guided by your gonads you could complicate your life and burn a hole in your finances. Therefore, however much someone may light your fire, try to be patient and wait before making major life changes or decisions. Try not to let passion and desire cloud your usual good sense. Money </h4> Although there'll be times when you feel you're being well rewarded for your efforts, this mightn't occur as often as you deserve. To make the most of your finances, balance those areas of work that bring in the bread and butter with those that bring in more but are less frequent. Don't complicate your financial affairs. Exercise restraint when making major purchases and investments and resist committing yourself to long-term financial arrangements or getting into debt. If you're thinking of buying high-tech equipment for home or work, shop around but be prepared to pay extra for quality. Careful not to fall for some shaggy dog story by someone who knows how to wrap you around their little finger. Don't let yourself be rushed into making large, impulsive purchases. Career </h4> This promises to be a very productive period for you. If you're considering becoming more independent or setting up your own business this could be your year. You could do well in positions where you're able to show initiate, make decisions and follow your hunches. Opportunities where you get to recruit, train or develop other's potential should be good for you. Working with people from different backgrounds and cultures will bring benefits. This is a good time for establishing important professional relationships but be careful of certain individuals or organizations that promise more they can deliver. Following the money might not necessarily be the best long-term career move so be open to opportunities to update your skills or specialize. Be open to opportunities to specialize or work independently. Family </h4> Home, family and property matters could complicate your life if you let them. Business, career, financial and important relationship decisions should not be sidelined or avoided because of the distractions of your private life. You may even find that keeping a healthy distance from family dramas could turn out to be smart move. Your decisions are your own and if you let yourself be sidetracked you could make choices about property or your living arrangements that are not in your long-term interests. If you feel uncomfortable with the way your past is shaping your future and influencing your self-image, then it may be a time to make a break from the past to create the future you want. Breaking away from old patterns and lifestyle choices will bring new possibilities. Wellbeing </h4> Your body is the temple of your soul and now is a good time for a spring clean. A monthly detox will get the ball rolling and you might want to consider enema treatments but pace yourself. Meditation and mind-control techniques that help you deal with negative emotions and attachment issues could work wonders. The simplest and most powerful tool at your disposal to improve your wellbeing and effectiveness is sleep. Adopting a regular sleep routine and incorporating power naps into your daily schedule will keep you on your toes when others are flagging and reaching for the coffee. By minimizing the stimulants and intoxicants you're putting into your body to keep you going, you'll rediscover the real you. Time to purify yourself and get some sleep. Sagittarius 22 Nov - 21 Dec YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships </h4> Whether you're attached or looking for love, this promises to be a favourable period for relation-ships. However, things are likely to flow better if you put your needs first, take the initiative and set the agenda. Those of you on the lookout for someone new may find there's more than one individual vying for your attention. Nevertheless, be patient. Don't give your heart away too easily but at the same time don't pressure an unclear situation before it's even had a chance to de-velop. It's not that you should play hard to get but not everyone will be looking for more than a brief encounter. The area of study, travel and spiritual pursuits could be fertile ground for roman-tic opportunities. Be prepared to take the initiative but don't be a tease and don't be a tart. Money </h4> Try not to complicate your financial affairs. Basically, if it's not broke, don't fix it. However it might be worth getting professional advice concerning how you can reorganise your personal and business finances to minimise your tax bill. For those of you with spare cash it would be a good idea to put it somewhere safe other than under the mattress. Low risk, long-term invest-ments with reputable international companies are probably your best bet. Overseas investments could prove fortunate but do your homework and if in doubt, pull out. However, fly-by-night get-rich-quick schemes should be avoided. This is especially the case with people you know socially who are full of moneymaking ideas and tall stories. Keep it simple and make the most of what you've got. Career </h4> As additional responsibilities come your way you need to be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. It's not that you wont be able to deliver, you can, it's more a case that those around and above you might not be up to the mark. Therefore try not to have unrealistic expectations or depend too much on lesser mortals. At times, tensions could run high in the workplace and oth-ers may turn to you for advice and support. If so, try to remain neutral and builds bridges but steer clear of offices politics. The area of education is emphasised so be prepared to update your skills but also be open to opportunities to train or teach others. Being a good example to others will get you noticed and avoid complications. Family </h4> Don't let overprotective or demanding parents or loved ones stop you from getting on with your life. The responsibility for major decisions about love, career and study should be yours and yours alone. However, if one of your parents is going through a rough time, they may withdraw into themselves so make an effort to keep lines of communication open. If you've brothers or sisters this would be a good time to build bridges but if you don't get to see them much, make a special effort to keep in touch. This also applies to family members far away or overseas. If you can, try and visit because traveling with family or visiting family and distant relations, is well-starred. Keep in touch and be prepared to travel to see loved ones. Wellbeing </h4> The key to success and good fortune is about being in the flow of life. Therefore if you feel you've become stuck in a rut and you want to get things flowing again then you need to seriously consider putting your needs first. Things will just work better with you in the driving seat. It's not about being selfish, more about expressing yourself and your needs. This isn't the time for being bashful, cutting corners or penny-pinching when it comes to your personal development or your physical, emotional or mental wellbeing. So whether it's a spiritual retreat, a new wardrobe, course of study or a holiday, treat yourself. Consider it as an investment in you, because you're worth it. If you want others to value you, you need to value yourself. Capricorn 22 Dec - 19 Jan YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships </h4> Increased activity on the relationship front is emphasised with a number of people coming in and out of your life. You're unlikely to have things all your own way and a certain someone could have you eating out of the palm of their hand. Therefore if fate or circumstance keeps conspiring for your path to cross with someone special, keep it simple and go with the flow. A larger than life character who's a bit unpredictable and eccentric could also enter your life. Therefore keep an open mind since you're likely to come into contact with people on the fringes of society or those whose lifestyle or attitude to love may be quite different to what you've become familiar with. Try not to complicate your relationship, be open-minded and keep it simple. Money </h4> An important domestic, emotional or relationship matter could cloud your usual good judgement. Therefore you might want to get advice, do further research or simply wait before making major or long-term financial decisions. Certain situations may be out of your control so be prepared to play ball and give others the benefit of the doubt. To make the most of what promises to be a good year for socialising and pleasure-seeking, you'll want access to your money. However, if you overextend yourself financially or have your money tied-up here and there, this could lead to lack of flexibility and cash flow problems which may complicate matters if you're tempted to rely on credit to get things flowing. Greater financial flexibility will enable you to benefit from change and opportunity. Work </h4> Your dependence on others may leave you with a sense that your destiny is out of your hands and even confused about what you want and where you're going. However, the solution may be as simple as taking one day at a time, rolling up your sleeves and just getting on with things. Staying focused and productive will ground you and if you're given an opportunity to shine, don't be bashful, it could work out much better than expected. Because of the importance of others, at times it will be a case of not what you know but who you know that makes the difference.

Aquarius 20 Jan - 18 Feb YOUR YEAR AHEAD Relationships </h4> You won't want to let all the doom and gloom stop you from having fun in what promises to be a busy year for you socially. Whether single or attached, romance is more likely to blossom the further you get away from your usual routine so make the most of opportunities for travel, adventure and new experiences. Working relationships, those with an age difference or with people from different cultures could turn out better than expected. Although you value your freedom and independence, the atmosphere around relationships seems more serious than superficial. So if you've been taking someone for granted or have been sitting on the fence it may be time to decide if you're ready for deepening your commitment. Time to get serious about your relationships. Money </h4> The biggest drain on your finances might not be obvious but could be the result of your social life. Not everyone you'll be meeting next year will be counting the pennies and there may be times when you're sharing coke and crisps with some people and Champagne and Caviar with others. However, since your social connections are key to a number of areas of your life it might be wise to prioritise but resist the temptation to rely on your credit card to tie you over or you could be on a slippery slope. Consider money spent on romantic breaks away, spiritual, cultural and educational activities as an investment but make sure you've put enough aside for a rainy day. Give your flexible friend the cold shoulder. Career </h4> You're one of the most sociable Sun signs and your networking and interpersonal skills will be important factors in your professional progress over the next twelve months. While it looks like you can take a step up the career ladder if you want, with increased responsibility will come increased expectations and the need for patience and perseverance. As others look to you for guidance and direction, you'll be required to work more closely with others who will depend on you, and you on them. However you value your freedom and independence and are not one to toe the party line when you believe you know better. Nevertheless, building supportive working relationships through compromise and cooperation is the key to career progress. Your social skills and reliability are key to career success. Family </h4> Whether they're 4 or 40, this could be a busy year for those of you with children. Nevertheless, this should also be an enjoyable time and family trips, outings and get togethers are well-starred. However, it's important to have time and space for your own interests and friends otherwise you may get a bit cranky. This is especially so if you feel you can't make the most of what promises to be a good year for you socially and professionally. Fate and circumstance could also conspire to bring opportunities to distance yourself from aspects of your private life or your past that you feel are holding you back. Therefore if necessary, be prepared to break away and move forward. Don't miss out on tomorrow by reaching back for yesterday. Wellbeing </h4> Since your Sun sign is Aquarius, an air sign, you're a mental creature at heart, concerned with principles, knowledge, ideas and communication. Over the next twelve months you'll have opportunities to assert your ideas and stand up for your principles. The more others can benefit from your actions, the more this will enhance your self-esteem. However, try not to be too fanatical or you may alienate those you seek to help, and those whose help you seek. The flip side to being an air sign is that you can loose yourself in the clouds and neglect the practicalities of life. Therefore, get yourself back in balance by making lifestyle changes that bring you into greater contact with mother nature. Assert yourself and your ideas and get back to nature.Pisces 19 Feb - 20 Mar YOUR YEAR AHEAD Love - Singles </h4> The next twelve months should bring an easing of some of the frustrations you may have experienced on the relationship front in recent years. This is a great time for teaming up with others who share your interests, lifestyle and ideals. While you'll be in the mood for pleasure and romance, if you're looking for love, put companionship and emotional compatibility before sexual chemistry. Avoid an affair with someone who isn't free since it's likely to leave you feeling unfulfilled. Socialising, group activities and friendship is the route to love. Love - Couples </h4> The next twelve months should bring an improvement and an easing of external pressures that may have affected your relationship. However, June and July could be a testing time. If you've been avoiding facing difficulties in your relationship then they could surface at this time and demand to be dealt with. While there is pleasure to be had in the intimate side of your relationship, try to develop the relationship outside of the bedroom and socialise together more with friends, family and colleagues. Don't brush things under the carpet. Choose the right time to communicate. Money </h4> With lucky Jupiter spending most of the next twelve months in Pisces, this promises to be a period of personal growth and opportunities for you. The more you make of these opportunities, the more you'll benefit financially next year and beyond. The summer could bring a new or unusual source of money. You may gain a windfall, rebate or financial help from others so be open to opportunities to change your means of earning a living. However, if you've been careless with your finance, you may have to curb your more frivolous spending habits. If you're obsessed with keeping up with the latest fashion tend then you could make some expensive mistakes. As opportunity knocks you may start to question what really matters as your attitude towards money undergoes fundamental change. Do what you love and the money will come. Career </h4> As your new yearly cycle gets underway an increasing amount of your time and energy will be taken up with work matters. This is a good time to roll up your sleeves, get down to business and adopt a more effective and efficient working routine. If the pressure mounts, you may be better off working alone since you could find it difficult to curb your irritation with situations and people who get in your way or slow you down. Over the next twelve months you should explore pastures new and show the world what you can do. If there's something you really want to do, now could be the time to go for it. Once you focus on what you want to achieve opportunities and openings will come your way. If there's something you really want to do, go for it.

This would be a good time for you to make positive changes in your life, to let go of the past and move on. It's also important for you to do your part. If you've children, try not to be too critical or put too much pressure on them now. In fact, whether they're 4 or 40, this is a good time to stand back and give your children more freedom, space and independence. If you have childcare commitments don't let that stop you getting out and about and socialising. Time to make space for yourself and your own life and interests. johnhayes.biz -- Edited by PMM2008 on Saturday 1st of January 2011 12:51:16 AM
