ARIES
Career opportunities abound in 2008
and you’ll be working hard pulling
things together and juggling things at
home. Slow and steady isn’t your strong suit but longterm
projects will require perseverance and patience.
You efforts will bring appreciation and recognition in
your field of work and you’ll be rolling forwards steadily
and easily. In Jan: The tempo of life accelerates and
friendships new and old are highlighted. You’ll be
busier with paperwork, correspondence and short trips.
Differences in opinion with co-workers are a danger but
Mars will help you work productively as a team.

TAURUS
As Pluto shifts from an area of sometimes
intense and testing emotional experience
for more than a decade, you’ll feel the
shift in your deepest self is complete. In 2008 you will
rise, phoenix-like from the ashes of your old self. Bigger
horizons are opening to you and you’ll be putting your
heartfelt beliefs and aspirations into practice. Travel is on
the agenda and a feeling of new beginnings liberates you
from old routines. Young ones or others in your care may
be more demanding at times and need careful handling.
In Jan: An emotional attachment pushes your buttons but
things financial are looking up before the 24th.

GEMINI
A year to plumb the depths and get
answers to some more fundamental
questions about life and what you value
most about yourself. A time of profound inner and outer
transformation, there could be both spiritual and material
benefi ts coming your way but also a recognition of the more
subtle, unconscious, intuitive side of your nature and an
insight into other dimensions just as real and viable as this
one. Working hard putting your house in order may feel
burdensome at times and family members may be more
demanding. In Jan: You’re preoccupied with matters fiscal
however listening to your gut instinct is the way to go.

CANCER
Close personal relationships at work and
at home will undergo a shift this year.
Early Cancerians feel this more intensely
and some will be magnetically attracted to someone. No
doubt you’ll be making quite an impression on others
especially those who can teach, guide or otherwise open
up your horizons in positive ways. Communications will be
more serious and you could feel overwhelmed by a sea of
paperwork. Remember, asking more questions and listening
with a careful ear will keep you on the right side of friends
and neighbours. In Jan: You’ll be putting yourself out but
enjoying the outcome.

LEO
A new range of options opens to you
at work as you gather strength and
confidence over 2008. You’ll feel
more supported and appreciated for what you
are trying to achieve. Opportunities could arise
from a quarter that puts your hackles up initially,
but if you are gently persuasive, flexible and
patient relationships at home and at work should
flourish and produce good results. Keep a close
eye on finances and be open to new strategies.
In Jan: Both your health and your mood should
improve.

VIRGO
A year to take yourself more seriously,
nurture yourself and boldly promote
your creative talents. With expansive,
confi dent Jupiter highlighting your area of children,
romance and personal power, the sky’s the limit
but not without hard work. There’s some serious
moments at home or with family members as you
insist on putting your personal projects at the top of
the list. Some relationships will be heading for the
recycle bin as you champion yourself and your inner
child. In Jan you can relax and be yourself doing what
you enjoy with people you love.

to less stress and more contentment in
2008. In some ways you’re leaving the past
behind and there will be changes in your community and
within the dynamics of family relationships. You’re clearing
the decks materially and emotionally in preparation for
new directions and new relationships. Gradually new
horizons are opening up as you shake off the dust of the
past. Travel or relocating is a real possibility and you’ll

domestic or work situations. In Jan you’ll be beautifying
your space or turning on the charm to swing a deal.

last year then in 2008 you’ll be kicking over
the traces and thinking way outside of the
familiar box. Feeling more adventurous and positive in
your approach your eyes and ears will open to a symphony
of new possibilities. Luck in relationships will attract the
expertise, support or personality right for you. Education
and team efforts are highlighted and you’ll be enthusiastic

SAGITTARIUS
Here’s a year to get your teeth into! So,
line up the target and with hard work and
more responsibility you’ll be ploughing
the furrows and planting the seeds at just the right
time. Odds are financial matters will go your way and
that piggy bank will be overflowing. You still need to
be sensible so don’t allow your exuberant nature to
spend it frivolously! You’ll need to be organized and
methodical at home and at work as you build a rep for
quality and reliability, but you’re on the right track.
Travel is highlighted in May and June. In Jan: Turn on
the charm and resources will be drawn to you.

This time last year you may have felt
stressed or hemmed in by circumstances
but you’re in a very different position
as 2008 unfolds. New horizons are opening up and you’re
growing in confi dence and enthusiasm. Relationships are
warming up and you’ll feel more relaxed and optimistic
about togetherness - or apartness, either way you’ll feel
less pushed and more in control, it’s YOUR choice now.

build a better future. Travel or foreign links are highlighted
as is education. In Jan: Taking stock of the past year and
enjoying a very special or very private relationship.

AQUARIUS
You’ll be listening to the voice within
this year and feeling your way forwards
as you learn to trust your gut more
than your mind or the opinions of others. Gradually
you’ll be making changes to your fi nancial strategies and
within the restrictions of a pre-existing arrangement or
partnership commitment. What you decide in the first
part of the year will set the direction of your path for
years to come. Partnerships can teach you a great deal
but will need more careful handling. In Jan: Evolving
things behind the scenes and nurturing yourself so as to
recharge your body and regenerate your mind.

PISCES
There’ll be new beginnings in relationships
as your social circle broadens. Friendships
will be inspiring and bring opportunities for
growth. Some mates will infl uence events in your favour,
others will suggest you take on more than you can reasonably
handle. Hopefully you’ll separate the wheat from the chaff.
You’ll be working hard but keeping an eye on health so as to
be up to the challenges ahead. Down-time is obligatory. A
close relationship will put demands on your patience stifling
your enthusiastic bid for freedom. Learn how to handle it
and you’ll agree a win/win deal. In Jan: Someone finds
you attractive and will support your ideas.
