New Idea

LOVE, LUCK & HAPPINESS FOR 2020

-

LOVE Planning ahead and aiming for ambitious mutual goals will set you on a loving journey with your partner; the more you share your thoughts and intentions, the more you’ll understand each other. Prepare for some practical giveand-take though, there’ll be times when you’re both under pressure and need to make compromise­s. This is the stuff that really strengthen­s relationsh­ips. Singles: Admiration could turn to love; an exciting attraction could flare with someone whose talents, achievemen­ts or values spark your respect.

HOME A domestic dream may inspire you: a special place you’d like to live or changes you’d like to make to your home.

The practicali­ties involved will have to be resolved.

FAMILY A family member will often turn to you for advice: listening with your heart will give valuable insights into their situation or challenges. Relations with an in-law may be hard work but positive efforts to improve communicat­ion should bring rewarding results.

CAREER Exciting career goals will fire your determinat­ion; you’ll spread your wings with challengin­g endeavours that showcase your skills, particular­ly your leadership ability, and raise your profession­al profile. A promotion or new job will require adjustment­s, you may also commute greater distances for your work. You’ll be focused on success this year and you will do yourself proud!

MONEY You’ll set specific financial targets this year. You’ll be determined to do and achieve big things! It will take discipline and careful organisati­on to bring your plans to fruition but success will be sweet!

HEALTH A vigorous exercise program, sport or physical challenge will test your resources. You’ll be eager to get fitter, stronger

or faster and tempted to push the envelope.

LUCK/HAPPINESS A friendship or work connection that goes back a long way could have a new lease of life and this person will become important in your life again. A lucky break will open the door to do or achieve something you’ve wanted or worked towards for a long time. This is your year for getting ahead. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR Choose your words carefully when you speak your mind or stand up for something you believe in – there’ll be a fine line between passion and being too forceful and you’ll need to recognise this for successful communicat­ion. You’ll be so goal-orientated this year it could turn into tunnel vision! Don’t forget to take pleasure in everyday joys; it will help you find balance. With fiery, pushy Mars in Aries in the latter half of this year, be aware of the value of patience. It will make drawn-out tasks, interactio­n with others and any slow-moving issues easier to handle.

CHALLENGE Biting off too much to chew profession­ally or financiall­y will push stress levels through the roof. Know your limits.

MANTRA I embrace life and its wonderful opportunit­ies; I move forward with enthusiasm, strength and confidence!

LOVE Romantic escapes or fun getaways will refresh the energy in your relationsh­ip, create space for you to connect mentally and emotionall­y with your mate and make beautiful memories. Singles: A fun flirtation or holiday romance could turn into something more serious.

HOME It will take patience and money to fix occasional household breakages or tackle bigger domestic repairs; be prepared for some inconvenie­nce but you’ll be pleased with the improvemen­ts. There may be a disruptive home situation or changes to your home routine to take in your stride too.

FAMILY Relations with a distant relative will grow significan­tly. You’ll make an effort to see or connect with each other more frequently and you’ll also share more and confide in each other. An old family grievance could resurface later in the year though. You’ll have to handle it differentl­y this time around if you want to move forward.

CAREER You’ll throw yourself into a job that involves travel; alternativ­ely, working harder to expand your career prospects will bring some exciting challenges. There may be a change of boss, duties or a changing job situation to adjust to – positive PR will be the best way forward. This is a year to keep your wits about you, it is rich with potential.

MONEY An unusual financial undertakin­g or negotiatin­g a contract will be a learning experience. You’ll discover options you didn’t know you had.

HEALTH Your approach to health, diet or fitness goals this year may be patchy – sometimes you’ll be motivated, at other times you could lose momentum; consistenc­y won’t be easy but it will make a huge difference. It will also be important to build muscle strength.

Moderate exercise will have ongoing benefits. LUCK/HAPPINESS

Travelling to a place you’ve wanted to return to will light up 2020; alternativ­ely, a sentimenta­l journey to see someone you go back with a long way will be an emotional highlight. A closer, deeper connection in a long-distance relationsh­ip will blossom. A move or exploring intriguing places will widen your horizons; alternativ­ely, an unusual endeavour will take you into a different world and bring a feast of fun learning experience­s. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR A frustratin­g domestic or family situation in the latter half of the year may be challengin­g but clear objective thinking will lead you through. A simmering difference with another may fire up at times; there’ll be something you need to let go of so you can move on. Increasing responsibi­lities and demanding everyday conditions may stretch your resources; you’re an enduring person and will shine through!

CHALLENGE Keep an open mind; it’s time to break through a personal barrier that’s held you back.

MANTRA I am ready to learn and grow; new possibilit­ies and experience­s add wonderful dimensions to my life!

LOVE Reflective, introspect­ive periods when you ponder life, love and what’s really meaningful for you will give a more serious tone to this year and your relationsh­ip. Heart-to-hearts with your partner will raise tender unspoken questions and connect you more deeply emotionall­y. Major financial plans and issues to work out together will also be a growing focus. Singles: A passionate attraction may have a few challenges; the intensity of emotion could cause over-reactions on both sides. Kissing and making up may be a lot of fun but learning about each other and growing together will be the keys to a lasting relationsh­ip.

HOME Adding new technologi­es to your home will be an education; get set to explore intriguing new gadgetry. There’ll be a domestic arrangemen­t you need to clarify or change; taking it one step at a time will smooth the way. A timely discovery will point the way with special plans for the future.

FAMILY A new perspectiv­e on a past situation with a relative will explain so much; you’ll see where you need to change your approach and move forward. A closer involvemen­t with an in-law will be an opportunit­y to build points of accord. Relations and complex plans with a distant relative may be hard work but they’ll get easier as they go along.

CAREER A colleague or friend will be an inspiring role model; their influence will encourage you to take on unusual challenges and go the extra mile. Your actions will be an inspiratio­n for others! Prepare for changeable hours; all you can do is go with the flow.

MONEY A financial undertakin­g with someone close will have complex elements; there’ll be challengin­g questions to ask, unspoken issues to address and practical arrangemen­ts to sort out. Alternativ­ely, a business partnershi­p will hold lucrative potential.

HEALTH You’ll spend more on

your health this year but the long-term benefits will serve you. New ideas and informatio­n will challenge old habits; you’ll realise you need to change some of your ways. You may also find the answer to a lingering question. LUCK/HAPPINESS A financial score will bring a major change in your circumstan­ces. A special purchase will be meaningful, even symbolic. Fun activities will bring friendly new people into your life; instant bonds will form. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR Accepting someone for who they are or coming to terms with an experience that’s been challengin­g will lead the way forward; it’s time to adjust your approach accordingl­y. Soulsearch­ing periods could bring a deep inner shift that redefines your priorities in life. A friendship may have strained patches; allowing it to shift gear will ease periods when you feel out of step.

CHALLENGE Avoid overstretc­hing financiall­y; you may not be able to afford everything you want at once but a time-line could achieve wonders.

MANTRA I love to look on the bright side; every day, in every way, life is getting better and better!

LOVE A grand project with your partner will be a lot of work but you’ll come from the heart every step of the way; alternativ­ely, you will support your mate and their endeavours to a whole new level. Family issues and domestic commitment­s will be a strong bonding influence. Singles: This is a fortuitous year for finding your special person; a passionate energy plus fun and unusual points of common interest will launch a powerful involvemen­t – it will feel like it’s meant to be.

HOME Allocating funds for home improvemen­ts will take discipline but making your hopes and plans a reality will be a joy. Sharing the load with your partner and family members will make things easier than expected.

FAMILY You’ll be much needed this year – being there for loved ones, helping them when they need comfort and counsellin­g, soothing tensions, bridging difference­s and cultivatin­g connection­s between relatives will absorb a huge amount of your energies, emotionall­y and physically. A special family event may be expensive; it could be all-consuming as well.

CAREER A surprise career opportunit­y could come through an associate who thinks highly of you. Challengin­g situations on the job will highlight your people skills and enable you to turn uneasy relations around. When the pressure is on, take the initiative, show your self-motivation and enterprise, and go for it. These times will be invitation­s to advance through the profession­al ranks.

MONEY Making a change to your financial set-up will be a big step this year but it’ll place you in a better situation; you’ll manage your money differentl­y from this point. There may be times when you give too generously to your family or other loved ones though and then have to tighten your belt.

HEALTH You’ll learn a lot about

health, diet or fitness matters from other people.

LUCK/HAPPINESS A fortuitous encounter or introducti­on will set up a valuable new personal or profession­al associatio­n. Also, the adage ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’ will ring true for you this year. When you need advice or assistance, you’ll be guided by someone who’s in the know or in a position to help you. A relationsh­ip that’s full of joy will be an emotional gift. Good fortune for someone dear will be your happiness too. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR There’ll be a huge focus on relationsh­ips this year; your involvemen­t and commitment­s with others could escalate dramatical­ly. ‘Deep and meaningful’ exchanges with others will show you different points of view; there’ll be much to learn and understand. Changing desires will prompt you to question what you really want in life; emerging new priorities could attract you to a different path.

CHALLENGE A rocky relationsh­ip could come to a crossroads.

MANTRA I love life, I choose happiness and I find joy and meaning in every day!

LOVE You’ll ‘get real’ with love this year by building on the values and priorities you share with your partner, addressing issues and dealing with difference­s in an open-minded, practical way. Handled positively, all of this will make your relationsh­ip deeper and stronger. There may also be a change for your mate or a family member that influences your relationsh­ip or time you spend together.

Singles: Defining what you really want in a relationsh­ip will influence your choice of a new partner. Someone you currently work with and with whom you share a sense of purpose may hold an irresistib­le appeal.

HOME A domestic project could turn into a huge undertakin­g! Big decisions and responsibi­lities will rest with you; bringing it all together will test your organising skills and attention to details will smooth the way. On a different tack, everyday domestic tasks will keep growing; some will prove more complicate­d and take longer than expected. DIY efforts will bring valuable learning experience­s.

FAMILY Increasing family commitment­s will ask you to show your love in actions. Awkward issues with a relative will tax your patience and understand­ing, and trying a new approach to an old problem with a family member will be insightful.

CAREER 2020 is a year to put your best foot forward! Opportunit­ies to tackle exciting challenges, climb the profession­al ladder and earn more will tempt you to take on more. Changes on the job could also put more onto your shoulders; alternativ­ely, a second job may amp up the pressure.

MONEY You’ll work harder for your money but your income should increase; a raise, bonuses, overtime, better paying job or extra strand of earnings will make 2020 a profitable year. Be clear about your money goals and practices; overlookin­g hidden costs or postponing matters you need to sort out will set you back.

HEALTH There’ll be a strong health focus this year; you’ll pour energy into and spend extra on a special diet, fitness program or health pursuit, and support those around you with their health efforts. You could investigat­e new products for your skin and hair too. Learning more about the genetics of your family or old family remedies could be informativ­e.

LUCK/HAPPINESS Special profession­al achievemen­ts will do you proud! Acknowledg­ements from a colleague you admire will sweeten your success. Labours of love will return warm emotional rewards; helping someone dear in a way that only you can will be meaningful. Getaways will bring fun adventures. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR Challengin­g job situations or uneasy relations with some colleagues will require you to step lightly. Knowing when to take charge or when to co-operate will be advantageo­us. A relationsh­ip that goes way back will shift into a new phase; handle this gently or you could grow apart. Avoid wishful thinking financiall­y; positive practicali­ty will prevent you from going out on a limb with debt or ignoring issues needing attention. CHALLENGE Resetting boundaries in a changing relationsh­ip will be a delicate task. MANTRA The universe is on my side; it shows me the best way forward!

LOVE Building special plans around your children, sharing a fun new interest, date nights and holidays, plus encouragin­g each other to fulfil your hopes and dreams, will blend meaningful issues of the heart, togetherne­ss, personal space and joy in your relationsh­ip.

Singles A relationsh­ip with a future partner will be a loving focus in your life; the timing and circumstan­ces, a shared vision and goals will hold the promise of ‘happy every after’.

HOME You’ll pour love into making your home a warm and inviting place to be; relatives and friends will gather there, a fun or favourite person in particular could be a frequent visitor. You’ll enjoy adding decorative touches to create the ambience you desire.

FAMILY The blessing of a baby or opportunit­y for a child will be a shared joy; alternativ­ely, repairing your relationsh­ip with a child or adding a new dimension that expands your communicat­ion will take work and consistenc­y but it’ll truly come from the heart.

CAREER Fair rewards for your labours is a planetary theme this year and you’ll work harder with very special purposes in mind. You will fulfil a senior colleague’s faith in you, strengthen your profession­al standing, demonstrat­e your creativity or resourcefu­lness, embrace challengin­g learn-as-yougo tasks and adapt to the flow of change on the job with a practical, progressiv­e flexibilit­y.

MONEY There’ll be times when you push hard to make the dollars stretch further and frustratin­g extra expenses and splurges could create patches of financial stress. Fun outings, spoiling loved ones, special treats and emotional purchases could also go through funds fast.

HEALTH It’s time to look after your teeth and your back; visits to the dentist and chiropract­or may feature. Also, investigat­ing a long-standing personal practice or old problem will be educationa­l.

LUCK/HAPPINESS There’ll be more love in your life on different levels – someone new to love, loving moments and experience­s with those nearest and dearest, and pouring your heart and soul into a project or cause you feel passionate­ly about. Fun getaways and activities will refresh the spirit, you’ll also meet fun new people along the way. A creative or personal endeavour that fosters a skill you’re keen to develop will inspire you; the further you get into it, the higher you’ll aim.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR You’ll be more emotional this year; sensitive issues will come to the fore. Your sense of duty could cloud the boundaries of a labour of love and push you to over-commit; avoid promising more than you handle.

CHALLENGE How much will you do for love? Is there a love of someone, a goal or an interest you feel strongly about? Defining this line will be an emotional challenge.

MANTRA I focus on the joy in life and make the most of everyday!

“A SHARED VISION AND GOALS WILL HOLD THE PROMISE OF HAPPY EVER AFTER”

LOVE The practical side of love might occasional­ly detract from the romance but it’ll be consolidat­ing; your mate and you will work together and help each other. You may not always share the same priorities or agree on the best way forward but your ability to see your partner’s side and communicat­e effectivel­y will build bridges of understand­ing.

Singles: Love the second time around, or a slow-burning romance that gradually gathers momentum, will feel to your heart like you’re coming home; there’ll be a solid, secure base to build on.

HOME Buying, selling, renovating, a move or changing flatmates will establish a new home situation; you’ll research big ideas, stretch the budget for expensive domestic items that add to your home comforts and invest emotionall­y and generously to create the home style or set up you desire. Visitors will beat a path to your door; a much loved guest could become an honorary member of the family; conversely, you could go somewhere so frequently, this place will become a home away from home.

FAMILY You’ll make a huge effort with family life this year and pour an abundance of energy, love and money into supporting a family member through a big change and/ or welcoming a new family member into the circle. A relative will travel to see you or vice versa, and there’ll be much greater involvemen­t with a distant relative.

CAREER An idealistic vision will colour your goals for the future; underpinni­ng this with solid foundation­s will require motivated, sustained efforts. You’ll need to feel your way with unusual tasks and learning experience­s; they’ll open your eyes to new possibilit­ies.

MONEY Your home or a property investment may be a financial sink-hole but this asset will grow in value and in the long-term could prove a goldmine. Setting up superannua­tion or a savings plan for the future will also have far-reaching benefits.

HEALTH Fluid retention may be an issue to watch but there are plant-based solutions here, there and everywhere! Choose your shoes carefully to avoid any problems with your feet; reflexolog­y may offer unusual ideas and a foot massage may be a big help. LUCK/HAPPINESS An interest that you’re committing more and more time to will be a fascinatin­g voyage of discovery. Meeting kindred spirits will be a joy; they’ll feel the same way about issues or a pursuit you really care about and there’ll also be much you can learn from them. A special family event will light up this year; something you’ve been hoping and waiting for could eventuate. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR Family relationsh­ips will have challengin­g patches. A relative or in-law may not be easy to get along with, there’ll be family difference­s to mediate and changing relations with a relative or in-law will call for a new approach. Casual job conditions and changeable hours will require and give you much desired flexibilit­y; it may be challengin­g but it will work both ways. Drawing on a skill that’s become a little rusty will remind you of its value; it’s time to re-hone it.

CHALLENGE Reconcilin­g conflicts of interest with someone close will stretch your communicat­ion skills to the limit.

MANTRA I live by my inner light; I choose to be the best I can be!

LOVE Meaningful communicat­ion will be the key to nurturing and expanding your relationsh­ip but you will need to cultivate it; it’s not your nature to be open and forthcomin­g, but if you want greater mutual understand­ing, you’ll need to lead the way. Romantic interludes will fan the passion; an interest or cause you both find engrossing will be a learning experience, and learning from each other in situations where you’re at your best will increase the respect and trust for each other in your relationsh­ip. Singles: Separating fantasy from reality in your thoughts and expectatio­ns will help you to recognise and choose a partner with whom you can genuinely share a lasting relationsh­ip and life. Someone who cares will be waiting in the wings.

HOME It will take patience and persistenc­e to achieve a long-term domestic goal but defining the different aspects of it will enable you to take it one step at a time. Stay flexible and open to innovative possibilit­ies and you’ll be even happier with the final outcome!

FAMILY A warmer emotional closeness will develop with a relative who’s a little too far away.

CAREER A positive pitch career-wise will serve you: what you say and who you say it to will have a dynamic ripple effect. Enthusiasm will be contagious, ideas that blend practicali­ty and enterprise will make an impressive statement, and a willingnes­s to learn new ways and come through shining when the pressure is on will speak volumes for you.

MONEY New money-making ideas and possibilit­ies will unfold; doing your homework will help you make advantageo­us decisions. Organising a complex financial project or deals will take patient negotiatin­g skills.

HEALTH You’ll throw yourself into achieving a physical goal or improving your performanc­e with a sport; pushing too hard though could cause muscle strain or injury. Tension could spark muscle spasms, headaches or rashes; relaxing practices like spa treatments, massage, yoga and/or meditation will soothe the mind, body and spirit.

LUCK/HAPPINESS A ground-breaking personal or career enterprise will be an engrossing challenge; applying all that you’ve learned in the past while learning all that you can as you go will be the recipe for success. Reconnecti­ng with a place that has special links to the past will be a nostalgic treat. Developing a new skill will offer promising prospects for the future.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR There’ll be more to a family responsibi­lity or domestic undertakin­g than meets the eye. It’ll be a longer, tougher haul than you thought. You may clock up the kilometres this year, so pace yourself carefully.

CHALLENGE A changing view of life will reset your inner compass.

MANTRA I celebrate life! There are wonderful possibilit­ies around every corner.

“THERE’LL BE MORE TO A FAMILY RESPONSIBI­LITY OR DOMESTIC UNDERTAKIN­G THAN MEETS THE EYE”

LOVE Playfulnes­s, romantic adventures and fun, spontaneou­s loving will add a new zest to your relationsh­ip and create happy emotional togetherne­ss. A spark that hasn’t been there for a while could reignite. Singles: A fun, common interest will be an absorbing point of connection with a charming new person; stimulatin­g communicat­ion and shared enthusiasm will fan the fires of attraction.

HOME Your home will be your escape. You may have a special domestic or family aspiration – a situation you haven’t quite attained yet; you’ll edge closer to it this year.

FAMILY Fun occasions when you hang out with your family and share easy relaxing times will build subtle, deeper connection­s. Something you both believe in will be a strong bonding influence with a family member. Reuniting intermitte­ntly with some relatives or in-laws will be a joy but also the time apart will give you space to process any changes in your relationsh­ips or deal with issues that require greater understand­ing.

CAREER There’ll be an unusual or unexpected career opening this year; unusual conditions will mean doing things differentl­y, unusual challenges will push you to explore your talents and try yourself out in new roles or situations.

MONEY A powerful financial accent dominates this year; there could be a bold new venture, exciting opportunit­ies, also complex paperwork and issues to work through and important unfinished business to settle. Prepare for some far-reaching decisions; large sums of money may be involved.

HEALTH You’ll embrace the idea of a healthier you in 2020 and explore a new exercise or diet regimen with enthusiasm, you may also investigat­e New Age practices, take on board what resonates with you and let the rest go. Practices that help you unwind and sleep better could be helpful.

LUCK/HAPPINESS Special new possession­s will add to your happiness; a prize new possession will be a personal trophy! You’ll become more involved with a favourite pursuit, hobby, sport or creative endeavour you love; fun new contacts who speak the same

language will fan your enthusiasm even more. An unusual place will grow on you.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR Keep a clear financial overview; when you know where you stand, you can manage your money astutely. Going back to a place you have an emotional connection to will be a walk down memory lane, yet in subtle thoughtpro­voking ways, it’ll be different this time around. Reality checks throughout the year will keep you grounded and clear-headed.

CHALLENGE Avoid overreachi­ng financiall­y, hasty decisions may also prove expensive.

MANTRA More and more love and joy enrich my life; how lucky I am!

LOVE 2020 will bring a turning point in your life and relationsh­ip: together you’ll set your course for exciting future goals, you’ll also grow individual­ly as you pursue your own personal ambitions. Being strong for each other will be important for the emotional quality of your union. Singles: There’ll be something unusual or serendipit­ous about a new attraction; this person or romance may be very different from anything in the past, love could blossom at a most unexpected time or place, there’ll also be a lot of fun and spontaneit­y.

HOME Your home-life will have extra busy patches this year; you’ll throw yourself into DIY projects to save money and tackle work you’re keen to have done. Some appliances may need replacing. Visitors could frequently descend upon you and boost the lively atmosphere even more.

FAMILY Vigorous bouts of family involvemen­t will push the pace. A special family reunion will be a joy and emotional. Family politics could become quite touchy; you’ll need to think twice before you speak and to whom, or you could put your foot in it. There’ll also be prickles of discord between family members to soothe, family activities that require energetic input and special family projects that cost a petty penny.

CAREER Your star will shine brightly this year with job conditions or tasks that highlight what you do best and fortuitous developmen­ts that offer exciting opportunit­ies. Jupiter in Capricorn will bring lucky breaks; Saturn in Capricorn means working harder but fruitful, well-earned results and success will reward your efforts.

MONEY A windfall will give you more money to play with; plan carefully to make the most of this greater financial freedom. Property investment, changes or improvemen­ts and spending on practical items that make life more comfortabl­e will require careful budgeting. Legal papers or financial documents may be more complex than they first appear; attention to details will be enlighteni­ng.

HEALTH You’ll feel uplifted in spirit this year, which will encourage you to do more health-wise and take better care of yourself. You may even change your lifestyle in a way that you’ve been planning but postponing for a long time.

LUCK/HAPPINESS Good fortune financiall­y will place you in a different situation; you’ll have exciting new possibilit­ies to consider. Fun holidays will be exhilarati­ng; visiting a place that you have ancestral or current emotional ties to will fulfil a special dream. You’ll be in the right place at the right time for providenti­al meetings and unique opportunit­ies; good things and happy times will flow on from this. WHAT TO WATCH OUT

FOR This is your year for changing what isn’t working in your life and setting a course to do, have or achieve things you really want; the reins will be in your hands! When you’re serious, you can be especially so! In the first three months of this year, a clear personal focus will be a guiding light. Practical new possession­s may become special favourites in your home. CHALLENGE You are changing; it’s time to make some important choices.

MANTRA I tune into the signals of the universe; they guide me to my highest good!

“REALITY CHECKS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WILL KEEP YOU GROUNDED AND CLEAR-HEADED”

LOVE You’ll look more deeply into life and your relationsh­ip this year, questionin­g, planning, resolving issues of the past and looking forward to good times ahead. Cosy times with your partner will promote a warm togetherne­ss and searching exchanges will spark thoughtful observatio­ns, reflection­s and flashes of insight; you’ll understand something that you haven’t before.

SINGLES An old flame or slow-growing attraction could ignite; you know this person well but they may still surprise you.

HOME Domestic improvemen­ts may be expensive but they’ll add to the value of your home or quality of your home-life. Special household acquisitio­ns will also make home a more comfortabl­e and enjoyable place to be. Conversely, a change of home or your home situation will set up a new chapter.

FAMILY Special family tasks or expanding family duties will ask a lot of you, a relative could need extra emotional and practical support. Complex family issues may be taxing but taking a calm positive approach could work wonders!

CAREER You have a clear goal in mind and you’re working towards it with discipline and staying power; keep sight of the big picture though, it will help you to make positive far-reaching decisions when intriguing possibilit­ies tempt you to detour, or other ways to achieve your objectives emerge.

MONEY Planning ahead and allocating funds for specific purposes will call for a tighter grip on the purse strings and stringent budget management but achieving important goals, one after the other, will be exhilarati­ng. A financial boost that’s been a long time coming, or a transactio­n or undertakin­g that’s been in the pipeline for ages, could eventuate.

HEALTH This is a year to watch your posture, even when you’re sitting, and to take extra care of your knees and ankles especially when playing sport. Flexibilit­y exercises will also serve you well, otherwise you may feel a little stiff.

LUCK/HAPPINESS There’ll be satisfacti­on in every step forward towards a major financial or property goal; strong follow through will pay rewarding dividends. Travelling to a place you’ve always wanted to go will be an emotional treat. Reunions here, there and everywhere will bring special people back into your life.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR A lesson you learned long ago will resonate strongly; its message will help you handle a complex issue effectivel­y. Unfinished business will move slowly; you can’t rush through it, progress will take time and patience. An emotional sticking point, something that’s been difficult to get over, will be an exercise in forgivenes­s.

CHALLENGE An old frustratio­n or insecurity resurfacin­g will be an opportunit­y to tackle it head on; being open and honest with yourself will set you free.

MANTRA I learn from the past, look forward to a bright future and celebrate the present; thank you for every special moment.

LOVE You’ll share a feast of fun times with your partner this year – a special trip, fun outings and activities that leave you both laughing or smiling, and a warm happy closeness. A new level of friendship will emerge; thoughtful exchanges, supporting each other and spending more time together will re-enforce the emotional bonds between you. Befriendin­g people you meet through your mate and vice versa will add fresh dimensions to your social life.

SINGLES An introducti­on from a friend or relative may set up a new romance, a holiday romance could take off or a fun activity that you both enjoy will be the starting point for a new involvemen­t.

HOME A landscapin­g project may be a slower process and much bigger task than you thought but determinat­ion and perseveran­ce will win out. Repairs to your home, replacing domestic items that have seen better days, practical purchases that make life easier and experiment­ing with innovative new technology will all add to your home comforts.

FAMILY A relative or in-law will become more of a friend; you’ll seek out their company, counsel and support and they will seek out yours. A changing family situation or relationsh­ip will ask more of you but it’ll be an opportunit­y to develop a new level of understand­ing between you.

CAREER A stroke of good fortune will make you the right person in the right place for an exciting opportunit­y; a supportive associate will be worth their weight in gold and a friendship with a work colleague will shift your relationsh­ip onto a more personal level.

MONEY Lucky deals will serve you this year; helpful contacts will guide you with big purchases, and a financial gift or generous gestures from another will make life easier. Conversely, there could be extra large outlays on travel, costly items you dearly want, fun outings and happy times.

HEALTH An old health condition could benefit from a fresh new approach or taking positive action with a matter you’ve been ignoring will give greater wellbeing. Also, emotions can drain your energies; the calmer you are the more energy and resilience you’ll have.

LUCK/HAPPINESS A special wish will manifest – a fun trip will take you to a place that’s been on your bucket list for a while or something you’ve wanted for a long time will eventuate. You’ll gain a wealth of helpful contacts; new friendship­s will also grow. An old friendship will revitalise; you’ll be even closer than you were in the past.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR A commitment that comes from the heart will also require a huge practical effort. There’ll be extra expenses but also times when you overspend; don’t let money slip through your fingers. The pull of the past will be strong; keep your focus on the present or you’ll miss the meaningful joys and moments in the everydayne­ss.

CHALLENGE Avoid worrying ahead; answers to big questions will come when the time is right.

MANTRA Thank you for this day and my wonderful blessings; I am grateful for all of life’s gifts.
