January 2008

By Dan Liebman

Capricorn

December 23 - January 20
Your idealistic leanings emerge as you champion a cause or become involved in a political or some other campaign. Surroundings at work seem less tense, but it could be a false feeling. You can profit financially from an idea with which you’ve been tinkering.

Aquarius

January 21 - February 19
After recent twists, a relationship takes a turn in the right direction. You establish a reputation as a pioneer thanks to innovative work strategies. If an opportunity comes along to perform in front of a crowd, grab it, even if that’s one of your phobias.

Pisces

February 20 - March 20
You’re drawn to more mature individuals. At the same time, your sense of adventure heightens. It’s a good month to line up travel plans and travel buddies. You find yourself centre stage, unusual for Pisces, and enjoy the attention tremendously.

Aries

March 21 - April 20
You seem to have wandered into a foreign film without subtitles. Family activities are going on everywhere, but you have trouble making sense of them. Enjoy fewer restrictions at work. Mid-month is ideal for any task that involves reporting.

Taurus

April 21 - May 22
You often start several jobs before finishing one, but your current concentration level is extremely high. By the 31st, you can look back on a significant achievement. You feel trapped by a commitment. The longer you wait, the harder it is to wriggle out of it.

Gemini

May 23 - June 21
Stay on good terms with temperamental relatives, you’ll need them on your side. Health and financial issues require a specialist, ask questions and take notes. Spruce up your wardrobe with quality items. And plan on rubbing shoulders with a celebrity.

Cancer

June 22 - July 22
An adrenalin boost gets the year off to a supercharged start, but focus on serious items and not just the fun stuff. Your recent interpretation of a family scene proves to be on the mark. Weigh pros and cons before deciding whether to hold out for a plum assignment.

Leo

July 23 - August 22
Ideas are fertile, an adversary is out of the picture, and the timing is right to get back to a pet project. You become involved in the finances of others. Count on putting in added hours when a team member steps down.

Virgo

August 23 - September 22
Your popularity climbs this month, but don’t get by on wit and charisma alone. Start the year by doing good deeds and being a better listener. Be sure that you and a travel companion are on the same page. You’re more comfortable dealing with authority figures.

Libra

September 23 - October 22
Peace-loving Libra should prepare for a confrontation with someone who’s been making life difficult. After a long quest, you gain access to important information. Late month is excellent for interviews
and auditions. A larger-than-life role is within reach.

Scorpio

October 23 - November 21
There’s someone, or something, new in your world. It could be anything from a neighbour to a puppy, but it has a major influence on you. You’re more objective about practical things, and it’s a good time to take stock of health and career.

Sagittarius

November 22 - December 22
Education continues to play an important part in your life as you make a strong impression on those you teach or mentor. Dealings with difficult people, neighbours especially, require a more imaginative strategy.
