Being at home or with the family will throw up a few issues that need clearing before 2002. Now that the Christmas is over, you need to recoup and regroup for Hogmanay. Unfortunately, a pushy friend may decide to drop by unannounced. Have an excuse ready to get rid of any unwanted visitors. A nagging headache may not be the best reason -- your pal may decide to stick around and nurse you back to health!

Coast along on the community wave as a big surprise is in the stars courtesy of your own backyard. Don't be afraid to recycle a well worn outfit; the important thing is that you look great in it.

The more you do in your home town the more chances you'll get what you want.

Surprise stars makes this a day when whatever you're NOT expecting is bound to happen! You're a wee bit more cautious than usual in a social situation; you feel like you're in over your head.

Your unaffected air attracts an admirer who is definitely weird or oddball.

Something happens to remind of a person and that leads to a psychic ping to ring in the New Year. Picking up an old habit is the worst way to cope with a stressful situation.

We've all been in similar situations at different times.

Your intuition is so well developed you'd be mad to ignore what your gut tells you. You've always been a fantastic host, and tonight is no exception, so prepare for some pre-Hogmanay craic.

You're gonna see someone in a new light and that could reveal unexpected emotions to emerge.

Don't be so tied to the past you neglect your plans for the future, it's the future that counts now. Saving a person who is their own worst enemy is a very bad idea.

Brilliant stars make for a day when anything can happen and it probably will, get ready to be open-mouthed. It's a must to maintain a good relationship with authority figures, so don't cross any higher-ups.

Challenging their behaviour will only land you in hot water.

Relations, friends or links overseas are all distinct reasons why you should travel far in 2002. Watch your spending habits, especially if you're headed for a big shopping centre.

Meet your needs in more constructive ways.

A sentimental attachment makes a sexual attraction a real problem, steer clear of commitment. You must make a difficult decision about joint finances before things get out of hand.

Perhaps it's time for fiscal independence.

Kindness and compassion is needed in a relationship or it will fizzle out into nothingness. Treating an irresponsible relative like a child is getting a little boring.

Stop being an enabler.

Your charisma and personality is enough to create opportunity where none existed before. Taking a cool, practical approach to a disaster puts nervous relatives at ease.

That way, all the drudgery won't be concentrated in one spot - YOU! You have better things to do.

A class could be involved as a way of developing your natural skills and abilities into something lucrative and self-satisfying.
