Capricorn to Gemini     Cancer to Sagittarius Chinese Zodiac

Original thinking stands you in good stead in your social life and in your work, but you still insist on doing so much yourself. The disposition of the planets this year does not favour you doing so much. Socially you will worry too much about the friendships, don't they need you more than you need them. Holidays will give you much joy this year and you should ensure you take at least 3 good breaks and a number of short ones.

Pisces  the fishes - February 19th to March 20th
Real caution is needed otherwise “friends” will take advantage of you this year. A visit to your doctor will allay your health fears but a more balanced diet is recommended. Socially your life will improve but beware the charmer in April, they are not trustworthy. Financially you are unwise to borrow money before the middle of the year.

The year ahead is filled with success. This is the year all your planning and  hard work comes to fruition. Well done and remember you are entitled to enjoy  yourself as well. The constant worry over your health is unnecessary, the dark days are behind you. Relationships will be friendlier and easier than they have been. Invest 75% in cash this year. A year of consolidation.

Saturn which had such an influence on your domestic life towards the end of last year will weaken his influence and your judgement will be much better. The career breakthrough you wanted will appear, grasp the opportunity eagerly.

Aries the ram - March 21st to April 19th
You controlled that headstrong nature of yours last year. As such your financial dealings were much better, in the coming year invest now before the others catch on. Bonds in the USA will take off and even tech investments will generate 20% capital growth. You must still listen to others. Socially be more extrovert you’ll make more impact. Buy some new clothes and be daring. Ask your friends what they think of your new you but don't be put off by their lack of confidence, you have enough for both of you. An excellent year, you will make new friends and your partner will receive an interesting letter regarding a legacy or financial windfall.

Taurus  the bull - April 20th to May 20th
You’re future indicates a change of career where you’re extrovert personality and intellect will be more appreciated, but making decisions means you can’t always be fair to everyone.

The year will be adequate financially but the coffers will not be overflowing due to this career change. Socially you will be much in demand and will reach new levels of happiness with a loved one. Be open with them and they will reciprocate your needs.

Your DIY skills are reasonable but don't take on projects you get tired of. The major project planned for the spring would be better left in the hands of a good builder.

Gemini the twins - May 21st to June 21st
You may feel restricted and moody this year. Do not worry to much about this as it is only the other side of your personality trying to assert itself. The way to recover your composure will be to spend money on yourself. Go on holiday, buy some clothes and get out and enjoy the theatre and a few films. You will fel inclined to sit and mope at home, don't, this will only depress you and make friends less inclined to call you.

Try and improve your skills base by enrolling at college or asking your employer for some in service training. This would help you loosen up a bit and ensure more attention in your career.

Cancer the crab - June 22nd to July 22nd
You’re future indicates a change of career where you’re diplomacy and intellect will be more appreciated, but making decisions means you can’t always be fair to everyone, and you will need to be hard headed to force through change. Financially you will cope very well this year and a small capital gain is in the stars. Do not let others undermine your judgement in yourself. Career wise you will not move on but will consolidate your present position. As the year progresses you will realise this was the right attitude to take as many of your associates will experience job upheavals.
Leo the lion - July 23rd to August 22nd
Despite your ebullient personality conflict is seen in the stars for this year. Sharing your views on others and your forthright opinions will not go down well this year. Try and be diplomatic, discreet and sensitive to the views of others. Difficult for you I know but if you try and do this the relationship you want may just happen.
A difficult year financially, you will stretch yourself just a little to far. Put off that new car untill next year, you don't need to impress just now and everyone else is tightening their belt why not you. If you must spend put it into the home, a new kitchen or bathroom would work wonders.

Virgo the virgin - August 23rd to September 22nd
The combination of Venus and Saturn later in the year bring together love and wisdom. You have learned the lessons of late and will not be conned so easily next time. Remember the old saying about a fool and their money. Don't make promises you don't want to keep and be more assertive in doing what you want.
Don't act on impulse, take advice, especially where finances are concerned and don't make property acquisitions without injecting some cash resources. The stars show major changes in interest rates towards the end of 2002 despite all the assurances to the contrary.

Libra the scales or balance - September 23rd to October 22nd
You’re future indicates a change of career where you’re diplomacy and intellect will be more appreciated, but making decisions means you can’t always be fair to everyone. The year will be adequate financially and socially for your needs, sorry but there it is. The project you started early in 2001 will at last bear fruit, continue with it. Around March there will be major changes to your domestic situation, either a move to a new property or a bequest will come your way. Be wary of the long lost friend who suddenly can't do enough for you, confiding in them will be like broadcasting on national television.

Scorpio the scorpion - October 23rd to November 21st
You had a difficult time last year, we did warn you over that jealous streak, but things did not turn out to bad, at least you have remained friends and this is something you can build on. Financially you have been to mean! Sorry but there it is, spend more on enjoying yourself and on leisure pursuits in general you will be more relaxed and feel better. This will also reflect well in that relationship you want to develop. Be more welcoming to new associates and take an interest in other peoples lives. This interest will be repaid many times over come next year.

Sagittarius the archer - November 22nd to December 21st
Planet Jupiter is smiling and the optimism you displayed for investment after the events of Sept.11th is paying off. Don’t sell yet, wait till May. Don’t be too generous, remember, teaching a man to fish feeds him for life, giving him a fish feeds him for a day. Take up a more artistic leisure activity, your stars show a strong aptitude for design or painting. You don’t believe me? Just try it. Socially it will be a quiet year, a few close friends will be all you will need, enjoy it.
Restrain your criticism of others this year. Go to town on your hobby, it will be a money spinner. Demand for your presence at social events will overwhelm you so watch late nights and get your rest. At work your obsession with detail will stop you making decisions in good time. Forget the detail and concentrate on the main objective. Insure credit cards and your home contents before April. Remember natures remedies are often the best.
Everyone is successful at something and you should be pleased when someone who works hard gets on, you did! Use that energy and drive to be constructive, for the stars foretell good times and wealth if you are less secretive between now and May. That passionate nature of yours will make a close acquaintance think of you in a different light. Wait a while but you could do a lot worse and in this case you’ll have a devoted friend for life.

Dragon:- Celebration is in the air throughout the year! You will feel extra vigorous and energetic. Go easy on the ginseng you can have to much. The ladies will find you irressistable this year. Because of your popularity this year watch your finances, don't lend money and you will be better off towards the end of the year. In the home don't exasperate partners by always telling them what you would do and how much better you can do things. Quite a good year.

Snake:- The ox you know at work, who is a close friend, will have some financial information of use to you. Don't disregard it.
You are much to friendly with boars at work remember they are not your friends. Put your faith in hard work and use the intelligence you have for your own advancement.
You have beauty but so do others, try and be more appreciative of their qualities too.
At home there will be friction due mainly to you being unable to say sorry even when you are wrong. Admit your faults but don't let others keep bringing these faults up to beat you with them. You only need say sorry once.

Horse:- People will rally round you this year to help in the home and with a misfortune you may suffer in May. As a people person all the friends you have helped over the last few years will not forget you. Put past indescretions behind you, no one else remembers them why do you?
Your health will improve significantly. Visit the doctor in August for a check up this will confirm your good health. A holiday is called for around March when news of your promotion comes through, there will be financial improvements for those not promoted.

Sheep:- Your creativity will be financially beneficial this year, especially if you are in teaching or education. For the industrialists, patents or inventions figure prominently. At home you must spend more time with the children and less in the shop or on items to do with work. For some reason shops or merchandising keep re-appearing in your future, why is this.
There has been a family quarrel which must be attended to. Either decide to talk it over and resolve it or if the other party is not interested put it out of your mind. It will do no good letting it pray on your mind.
Despite your timid nature you will discover reserves of courage and strength you were unaware of. Do not be intimidated by the presumed academic ability of others, you are intelligent in your own right.

Monkey
You must stop jumping about from one project to another. This will be a good year if you just follow this advice. Your mischievous nature will land you in trouble about March time, the best way to resolve the problem will be to admit your guilt, accept the criticism of your colleagues and don't do it again. After this episode you will be more appreciated for your honesty and people will become more tolerant of the 'fun' you create.
Remember not everyone appreciates being the subject of a joke.
Financially you will put more away as you realise the long bear market is ending. Remain solvent in cash though as some good buying opportunities will arise. For those less wealthy put more into cash accounts.

Rooster
Your research project needs more time spending on it, get friends to help and don't be so selfish they will not pinch your ideas as everyone knows you are the driving force. Holidays must be booked early or you will miss out, don't say we have not warned you.
Make sure you put your hand in your pocket when out celebrating, you must not be mean.
Relationships which were on a knife edge last year will improve but only if you are prepared to compromise and accept you must spend some money on the house or flat as well.

Dog
Watch it! Not all people are honest and you will misjudge apparent friendship this year. Your home is your place where you can feel safe and secure do not let others share it until you are sure of their long term aims.
Your mother and father will offer good advice based on experience, take it slightly modified with your own modern views. This is a year of treading cautiously and listening to advice from long term friends beware of the new ones!

Boar
Those married to rabbits are in for a peaceful and prosperous year. The articulate qualities of your partner will be used to good effect to boost your earnings and create harmony in your life. Rabbit males will see their creativity literally explode, ideas will be taken up at every level, while your children will display scholastic virtues you thought you could only dream of.
Unfortunately it will not be a year totally without upset. A close relative will fight a losing battle but do not be upset treasure all moments together.
Decorating will be a must for the spring and a meteorite shower in the spring will bring a birth to assuage any sorrow.

Rat
All Rats tend to be a bit frenetic in their affairs. This year you must calm down and think carefully about your long term future. For those well established in life it is essential that you determine your main objectives and stick to them. Last year your long term objectives were upset by the falls in the stockmarket. Changing tack at this time cost you money, you have a long term financial plan stick to it and don't keep chopping and changing.
You are lucky in the home to have such a devoted partner, try allowing them to offer you more advice they would love to have you ask for help and advice occasionally.

Ox
Children will occupy a lot of your time this year. Be wary about committing to much time involving other peoples children. You have a great and engaging personality but some people will take advantage of this to get you to do more than your fair share leading to a bad effect on your health if you are not careful. You have been warned.
Charity events have taken up some of your time recently and this has concerned you. Tell the organisors you can only do so much and don't do any more.
Visit a clinic/doctor for a health check, there will be no major problems but some 'maintenance' is required. A little more exercise in the form of brisk walks or swimming is called for.

Tiger
You must be very careful this year. You made a lot of come day go day friends last year and their friendship will be found wanting when you need help later in the year at work.
You also made some enemies, sorry but that's what the charts show, do not let them get you down as there will be malicious rumours spread which have no foundation and will be based on jealousy and easily dismissed. Much of this will centre about work.
Moneywise you will accumulate this year, invest cash for lean times ahead and beware government savings schemes. Tax free schemes are ok. Don't borrow the cost of borrowing will not stay low for more than 12 months and you will not be able to afford the mortgage you are thinking of in 3yrs time due to enhanced family commitment.
Health, reasonable.

Rabbit
The charts show a blissful year. Your contentment will be absolute, while the feeling of well being will gravitate to friends and relatives alike. The creative and intellectual side of your personality will be evidenced in the home and in any childrens lives. In the home you will embark on a total revamp of the kitchen or bathroom, (water is shown in the charts within the home and it isn't a flood).
The countryside will be an inspiration to you and you will spend much time there with your friends and their partners as well as your own. Don't be shy about talking to your children about your past and the hopes you have for them. Remember danger is a part of all our lives and even children have to learn to cope with it so subdue that over protective streak and let them live their lives.
One word of warning, you are trustful and discrete but the charts show a stranger or lost friend appearing in the late summer to early autumn. This person harbours bad feelings towards you from the past be pleasant but go no further.
