If you attend a family function, you'll be asked to speak on behalf of the group. It bolsters your pride to be the head of such a prestigious clan.

Organising fun activities for the gang is a good use of your creative talent. You enjoy making food, crafting decorations, and playing music to put everybody in a festive mood. Don't feel like you have to shoulder these burdens alone, however. Enlisting the aid of friends, family, and neighbours will contribute to the party spirit. Good news from overseas could reach your ears, making this an even sweeter day. An exotic trip could be on the cards for you within the next few weeks.

Family togetherness makes you feel loved and grounded. It's nice to know you can lean on these people when times are tough. This past year, you've been spending a lot of time with a single friend.

Whether you realise it or not, you are a vital part of your community.

Communicating heartfelt feelings to your loved ones won't be as difficult as you anticipated. You may be shocked to learn how many people are surprised by your affectionate comments.

Any children you already have will look to you lead a round of games.

You're in a contemplative mood today, thinking back on all the twists and turns of 2007. Although the past twelve months kept you busy, you'll notice a marked difference as 2008 gets underway.

Don't be afraid to negotiate for a high salary, extra benefits, and a sumptuous office. You're in the driving seat.

Respecting cultural or religious traditions is of primary importance. Don't worry if people snicker at your old fashioned ways. They lack your appreciation of beautiful rituals.

Besides, your writing skills are especially strong today. You have a most captivating way with words.
