ARIES Mar 21 — Apr 20

ARE you wrestling with a resolution? We need to be clear. What matters, this year, is not what you give up, but what you take up. If you want to move something bad out of your life, bring something good in. The good will help to push away the bad — or to keep you further away from it! Focus on what is positive, constructive, inspiring and potentially life-changing in the nicest possible way. Then the other changes that need to be made can happen automatically and naturally, as a side-effect of this. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you?

TAURUS Apr 21 — May 21

YESTERDAY, I said: ‘You are entering 2013 in a state of chaos.’ I should have chosen better words. Your world is not completely chaotic. Much is well-ordered and organised. It is just one set of circumstances that has become hard to keep under control. But, of course, whenever we have trouble, we are tempted to think only about that trouble, until it ends up becoming the only thing that we are aware of. Relax. More is good than you realise — and even what is not so good may yet turn out better than you think. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you?

GEMINI May 22 — June 22

ARGUMENTS have a tendency to escalate. What starts as a small difference of opinion can soon turn into a sharp division and then, eventually, into a rift that is seemingly both too deep and too wide to bridge. The current conflict in your life has not yet turned into an irrevocable disagreement and nor does it need to. You can take steps to defuse a tense situation and increase the amount of common ground between you and an opponent. That has got to be a compromise worth making. Happy New Year?

CANCER June 23 — July 23

AT THIS time of year, some people get carried away with their enthusiasm for the new. They want to change their lives and shape their futures. They begin to get a little obsessed with targets, goals and other ways to measure and monitor progress. Yet all such systems are ultimately inadequate. You can’t seriously hope to assess how far you have come — or how far you Great changes rarely occur in an instant. they dawn on the world slowly, creeping in at the edge of the horizon and seeping into the pool of the collective imagination. Only gradually do we realise that we are all starting to see the same possibilities, and excitement is justified. this year is still young. We shouldn’t judge it from all that has happened so far or even from what’s now cropping up. everything suggests 2013 will be remembered as the time when an amazing comet of hope lit up the sky and gave millions a breathtaking vision of fresh possibility! have got to go — by a series of numbers. Pay heed to what you are feeling. Let your deepest emotions guide you today. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you? There’s great news in your year-ahead prediction.

LEO July 24 — Aug 23

DO YOU ever feel as if the world is just too big? As if yours is such a small voice in the middle of many — or as if you are a grain of sand on an enormous beach — that you can hardly dare hope to exert any influence at all? Yet have you also felt, on other occasions, as if the cosmos is conspiring against you, as if you have been singled out for tough treatment by a universe determined to thwart you at every step? Both beliefs can’t be true at the same time! Don’t underestimate your potential power today. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you?

VIRGO Aug 24 — Sep 23

ALTHOUGH ought you to be looking ahead to the rest of the year, a part of you is still trying to make sense of experiences you have had over the past few months or even years. How can you go forward with confidence when you don’t feel confident about what lies behind you? It may be some while before you fully understand the higher purpose that has been behind some of your journey so far. But you can still have faith in the brave move that you are instinctively starting to feel inspired to make. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you?

LIBRA Sep 24 — Oct 23

ARE you excited about 2014? And how do you feel about the year just gone by? You have to concede that 2013 was a lot more enjoyable and successful than you expected. Whoops! Sorry, I reached into my file of predictions and — my mistake — I pulled out one for January next year! But, you know, in a way, I’m glad you have seen it. It will help a lot if you try to imagine yourself as having arrived at a very happy part of your future. For that is what current events are helping you to reach. Happy New Year?

SCORPIO Oct 24 — Nov 22

WHEN the world’s governments have finished imposing austerity measures upon their citizens, they may wish to turn their attention to other potential savings. Aren’t a lot of us inclined to think or talk too much — or to waste too much time in a realm of our own imagination? How much energy does this consume? Perhaps our allowances ought to be rationed. Or perhaps not. As you enter a brave new year, think less about what you need to be cutting down on and more about your entitlement to feel fulfilled. Happy New Year?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 — Dec 21

THERE are as many questions in your life as there used to be. Yet it seems there are fewer answers! You have lost faith in some old ideas. You can no longer blindly cling to a belief. You have to stop and ask: ‘What do I really think?’ And: ‘How do I really feel?’ That is unnerving, especially at the time of year when we are all supposed to be making big decisions about what we will or won’t let ourselves keep on doing. Yet all you need is to resolve to remain open-minded. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you? There’s great news in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 — Jan 20

ARE you going to be able to keep your resolution? Isn’t it only a matter of time before you succumb to temptation and forget about the promise you made to yourself? Already your enthusiasm has waned once or twice. How can you hope to sustain it? OK. Enough negativity. I’m not trying to feed your own doubts; I’m just trying to point out how easy it is to feed them! If you don’t want them to grow so big they get the better of you, there is a simple solution. Just resolve not to let them be fed! Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you? There’s great news in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5610.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 — Feb 19

INSTEAD of a forecast, I would like to supply you with a long list of things you are not allowed to do, subjects you must stay away from, aspirations that you may as well abandon and reasons why you should lower your expectations. OK. Are you ready? What do you mean: ‘No!’? You are never going to win Masochist Of The Year if you are putting up such a resistance, so early in 2013. Can’t you become more humble and compliant? You can’t? Oh well, that is probably rather good! Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you? There’s great news in your year-ahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 — Mar 20

HIGHLY intelligent people sometimes pretend to be not so clever. They feel the smart thing to do is to act dumb. Meanwhile, people whose brains are supposedly not as fast can display surprisingly high levels of wit and insight. The ability to solve puzzles is not the only relevant test of intellectual aptitude. Regardless of how bright you may consider yourself to be — or even how bright others may think you are — you are more than bright enough to see the right way forward. Today will bring you a stroke of genius. Happy New Year? Want to know what 2013 really has in store for you? There’s great news in your yearahead prediction. Call 0906 751 5612.
