ARIES  (March 21 - April 20)
Happy New Year, Aries!  Job interests and responsibilities are going to kick start the year in a big way. If you've been hoping for that career boost, the time has come to celebrate. You'll be noticed by those you want to notice you and you're open to developing your skills in order to get to the next career phase.  This isn't a bad way to start the New Year, you know? So do your part to assist the universe by getting your wardrobe, your act, and your Zen level together in order to be ready for anything that happens.  Because it will happen soon! One word of caution: Don't let others infringe on your time.  You're in a period where you know who matters and who doesn't any longer, so follow your heart on this one.  Famous Ariens:  Robin Wright Penn and Robert Downey, Jr.

TAURUS  (April 21 - May 21)
Happy New Year, Taurus!  Having Jupiter, the planet of luck in your sign as 2012 begins, is the best holiday gift you could get!  You've been in a lucky cycle for a few months now and this isn't going to stop any time real soon. Although Jupiter won't guarantee that you'll win the lotto, he will bring a feeling of joviality and confidence to your every move and align or connect you with those in the universe who matter and who can help you.  One note of caution:  Don't confide in anyone you don't completely trust. Other than this, it's a good time to be a Taurus.  Famous Taureans: Tammy Wynette and Billy Joel.

GEMINI  (May 22 - June 21)
Happy New Year, Gemini!  Money is weighing heavily on your mind this month and it's not just because the Christmas bills are coming due.  Issues like insurance, legacies, inheritances, joint accounts and the like will need attention in a big way this month. It's important to stay on top of all financial matters now and to watch your pennies very closely.  Not keeping abreast of your money now isn't a good idea. It's important to get along with what you have and to thank your lucky stars that things aren't worse. With Mars in Virgo, sticking around until mid year, your home life could show some ups and downs and family plans could be stalled.  Just ride this out, Gemini and know that better times are ahead. Famous Geminians: Anne Heche and Miles Davis.

CANCER  (June 22 - July 22)
Happy New Year, Cancer! The first week of the new year could show some instability in partnership matters. Sometimes "who's right and who's wrong" isn't important at all because it's only our ego talking.  However, you or your partner may argue this point, causing lingering resentment until someone finally apologizes.  Is it necessary to put ourselves through this in the first place?  I don't think so. Ego is an amazing thing, actually. And some have a larger amount of it than others.  This is important to remember when someone insists on being right when you know they are flat out wrong. Until an ego is put in its place, life continues to be a one man show.  Famous Cancerians: Ashley Tisdale and Ringo Starr. 

LEO  (July 23 - August 22)
Happy New Year, Leo!  It's a great time for your health!  If you're re-starting that old new year/new exercise program that's been hovering in and out of your life for years, this is the time to go for it!  You've got a lot of planetary action on your side to assist you in your goals. If you need a boost, try to hang around those who want to get healthy themselves.  The best place to find these folks is at a gym or at some walking path in your neighborhood. Before you know it, you'll be sharing weight success stories together. Partnership concerns may also be an issue this month, but it's nothing to freak out over.  The holidays are stressful to many, so why would your partner act any different? Stay positive and things will be fine. Famous Leonians:  Whitney Houston and Sean Penn.

VIRGO  (August 23 - September 23)
Happy New Year, Virgo! On the first, prepare the home for battle with your partner over some rash and aggressive action possibly taken on New Year's Eve.  If this isn't solved immediately, it will carry over to the 7th, causing further resentment and prolonging something that can be solved with understanding. If you can make it past the 7th, love will be in the air once again.  The sun is in your fifth house of romance and pleasurable pursuits and will continue to be so until the 19th, so you won't be wanting in this area.  Tell loved ones how much you appreciate them and watch them beam.  Get out there and do things together and all will be well. Famous Virgoans:  Joan Jett and Tommy Lee Jones.

LIBRA  (September 24 - October 23)
Happy New Year, Libra!  Home is where the heart is and this month should bring a lot of action around the old homestead. If you've been wanting to remodel, paint, landscape the yard or possibly put up a for sale sign, now could be a good time to do so while you're in the mood. Things in the community could come into focus, too. If you are involved in community matters, you'll be busy, but even if you aren't, someone may approach you to join a club or some other community event in which you'll be glad you obliged. This is also a great way to increase your friendships if you so desire.  People are going to look up to you this month and in a favorable way while many other planets will support you too.  Famous Librans:  Susan Sarandan and Tom Petty.

SCORPIO  (October 24 - November 22)
Happy New Year, Scorpio!  On the 1st, confrontation fills the air. The issue could be money and someone isn't happy at all.  It could take until the 7th of the month before calm moves in again. If you've been the one out spending, some explaining could be due.  If your partner is the culprit, perhaps they need you to go a little easier on them in order to get at the truth?  Don't fall for "in your face confrontational tactics." This could be a mask for covering up the real problems. If you can get to the bottom of things as soon as possible and enjoy the rest of the month, it'll actually turn out to be a good one. Famous Scorpians:  Calista Flockhart and Ryan Gosling.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)
Happy New Year, Sag!  You've felt trapped in a certain situation for a long time now and you're ready to make ammends.  If this situation is taking place on the job, you're more than ready to move on or move up.  If it's been taking place at home, you're ready to move on in this area too, but you'll handle it more than fairly when you do. You're ready to pay the price for peace of mind and you don't care anymore what the cost or the consequences may be. It's a new year, new you. Go for it with confidence!  Famous Sagittarians: Katie Holmes and Ed Harris.

CAPRICORN  (December 22 - January 20)
Happy New Year, Capricorn!  It's all about you right now with the Sun beaming down in your first house. People want to be around you and you are a star wherever you go. Most of us make a wish list for the coming year, but you, Capricorn, are the most favored of the wish list makers this month with Mars and Jupiter (the planet of luck!) trining all you do in another friendly earth sign compatible with your own. Don't linger in the background this month.  Get out there and be seen. Someone wants to meet you!  Famous Capricornians: Mary J. Blige and Ryan Seacrest.  

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
Happy New Year, Aquarius!  It's a great time for a little mental housecleaning if you're so inclined?  A little self analysis can go a long way in getting your act together before moving on. Stop looking for worrisome problems and stop allowing self doubt to discourage you.  During the full moon of the 9th, emotional reactions could escalate.  Try to keep these under control. If you can escape to a retreat, even if it's in your own backyard, do so for the sake of peace.  You can only give so much to someone and no more.  Famous Aquarians:  Heather Graham and Garth Brooks.

PISCES  (February 20 - March 20)
Happy New Year, Pisces!  What a year it's been and what a year it will be! You'll have plenty of opportunities to meet important social contacts this month and it's time to end all of those associations that simply waste your time. Align yourself with positive people who have your best interest at heart and stop giving to those who simply take for the sake of their own selfish egos. Make big plans on the 13th!  Is there a dream vacation you want to take?  A cruise?  Plan a marriage?  Do it on this day and you're sure to have a blast.  Famous Pisceans:  Eva Mendez and Seal.
