Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Depriving yourself of pleasure to show your superiority is pointless. Promise to indulge your sensual side as the New Year gets underway. You're a very active person and will never lose your appetite for exercise. Still, there's a difference between staying in shape and being a slave to the gym. Go ahead and indulge your love of good food and drink. Take the occasional day off to laze around and let your muscles relax. Life shouldn't be an endless 'To Do' list.
.
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Stop finding fault with everyone you meet. If you're going to form lasting friendships, you must overlook their quirks. Remember you have some strange qualities that aren't especially easy to endure. Someone with your stubborn nature can be incredibly difficult to deal with, but your friends are willing to make the sacrifice. That's because, despite your hard head, you've got a heart of gold. Adopt a more open minded attitude to the people you meet in the New Year.
.
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You've always been very fussy about your home, to the point of obsession. The next time you invite somebody over, don't go into a cleaning frenzy. Just have a casual get together and leave the housework. Nobody will judge you for having a cluttered residence. In fact, it will be easier for them to relax in comfortable surroundings. You make a great host, once you're able to let down your defences. Use the energy of the New Year to throw a festive party for friends.
.
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A tendency to say what you feel gets you in trouble at work. Be more diplomatic, at least where your professional life is concerned. This is difficult for someone who is ruled by emotions. Yet, the sooner you learn to keep your own counsel, the faster you will rise up the ladder of success. Find a healthier outlet for your feelings. Take up yoga, learn how to meditate, or go on nature walks. This will help you gain a better sense of control.
.
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You have a tendency to be penny wise and pound foolish. Don't justify an expensive purchase by telling yourself it will save money in the long run. You're better off sticking to a strict budget. If something is out of your price range, save up for it. By the time you've accumulated the necessary money, this object will have lost its charm. 2012 invites you to adopt a more cautious approach towards money. You won't have to entirely deprive yourself of luxuries, but you should make more thoughtful purchases.
.
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Although you've always prided yourself on being practical, it might be time to take a more whimsical approach. Tune in to your impulsive side. Take up a hobby for no good reason other than it interests you. Buy yourself a gift you can't afford, but will give you tremendous pleasure. Go on a date with someone who is the complete opposite of you. Don't justify your behaviour to your critics. It's more important to satisfy yourself than win favour with the public.
.
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Learn to let go. Dwelling on imagined scenarios is a waste of time. You can't control the future, so why poison your thoughts with gloomy predictions about the future? If you yearn to occupy your intellect, take a challenging class. Learning about another culture will distract you from obsessing over petty problems. Make one of your New Year's resolutions learning a new language or mastering a musical instrument. It's time to set new challenges for yourself; you've got unlimited potential.
.
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) When you're with people you love, you have a tendency to lose your identity. It is such a relief not to be judged or evaluated that you just blend in with the crowd. In 2012 you've got to assert your individuality, even at the risk of being the odd duck. Your friends will still accept and love you, even when your behaviour is puzzling. Don't spend money on a group outing you can't afford; you have to save your cash for something that is personally meaningful.
.
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Don't make too many sacrifices for the sake of work. Although you love being of service to others, you need a rewarding private life, too. Make one of your New Year's Resolutions to spend more time with your family. Your nearest and dearest keep you grounded. Being in their company will make work less compelling. Pretty soon, you'll find more opportunities to take holidays, enjoy hobbies, and read for pleasure. Don't worry; you'll always have a way to pay your bills.
.
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Refusing to work with people who don't share your beliefs is limiting. Now that the New Year has arrived, you should expand your horizons. Seek out people who have radically different upbringings from yours. Their observations will add a depth life you never expected. Granted, you're not likely to change your opinions. Still, being surrounded by a diversity of outlooks will make you more creative, flexible, and happy. Why limit yourself to one flavour when you're in a shop that offers infinite variety?
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Don't rely on others to finance your dreams. You'll have to find a new source of income to support yourself in the New Year. Opportunities related to teaching, writing, and research are especially favoured. Don't worry if you lack certain credentials. You can talk your way into a great position. This is one of those areas where your unique personality works in your favour. Employers are willing to give you a chance, because you bring something special to the table.
.
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Put less energy into relationships and more into yourself. Use the power of the New Year to jump start your career. Finding a new job or running for a position of power will give your confidence a much needed boost. Stop seeking the approval of others, especially when it comes to finding work. If you're interested in an unusual industry or want to take a job with strange hours, so be it. After all, you're the one doing all the work. You might as well have fun in the process.
