Let someone set you up in the New Year, my dear Rams, as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. See how it works. Two contrasting events dominate your thinking in the first quarter of 2009; a romantic escapade and a business offer. Be wise and choose your words carefully. Try not to be embroiled in a tricky situation.

You are in a bit of a bind when it comes to your friends, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. Their dramas are getting shrill and you are not so used to leading the parade. Worse, it seems that they want you to choose sides. Keep a low profile and show you are on the side of the downtrodden.

Playing hooky with a friend can be lots of fun, dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. But, if you are chronically single and your best friend knows another chronically single friend, then stay clear. It pays to make long- term financial provisions for your family. Trust the Stars to guide you in the days ahead.

Perseverance pays off. Stick with the redoubtable romantic winners, dear Crabs, as people born under the sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. You are in for another great amorous experience in the New Year. You can have fun almost anywhere and anytime in the days ahead. This week is perfect for romance. And, Crabs are among the most romantic souls.

Be careful with whom you entrust your love life. This is a great week to celebrate, dear Lions, as people born under the sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. Show your appreciation for their undying love and support with a spur-of-the- moment dinner party. Spend the week spinning records reminiscing about old times.

Be optimistic my dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Yes, this is a tricky week that might play havoc with your emotions and ruffle your affections. And, you must resolve to be strong, focussed on what is solid and hope for the best.

The New Year is full of promise, and this is an especially lovely week for enchanting paramours, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. It is a great week for spontaneous gatherings.So look for opportunities to share your positive energy with your dearest friends and family. Go forward to a better future.

Someone is watching from afar, my dear Eagles, as people born under the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. So be on your best behaviour and in tip-top shape. Watch your tongue. You don't have to hold your tongue, either. However, you are better off sitting this one out. This is surely part of the answer you are seeking.

This is a good week to get started on something new, dear Centaurs, as people born under the sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov- 23 Dec) are sometimes called. New Year, new start. Live life to the full. Even if it seems a bit more challenging than you'd like. Your adversaries have a reputation for being opaque. You will resolve the puzzle later and it shouldn't take too long.

There is another way of keeping as many people as possible happy. It doesn't matter if things don't make sense now, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec -22 Jan) are sometimes called. You will put all the pieces together in the days ahead. Just go along with the situation as it moves ahead and you will be fine.

Be mindful of the particular needs of those who love you. It might feel like everything is changing, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan- 19 Feb) are sometimes called. But, really it is just a few seemingly solid aspects of your life that are shifting. Press on, change with the changing times. The Stars will surely support you.

You are on a roll this week, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Keep it going through the New Year. You are ready for anything, and you shall witness wonders. Cosmic forces will guide you. True happiness is at hand. Now you have a huge opportunity to have peace of mind.
