Big changes are evident in the path and direction of your life set yourself new goals before Feb. You've worked long and hard to get where you are, and the results of your efforts are starting to show. Take a moment or two to map out further ambitions. It's important to act while you're on an upward swing. Happiness is the greatest motivator. Take some time out to meet people who can put some work your way to add to your achievements.

Think international over the next two weeks for the more global your vision the further you'll go. Travel, education, and spiritual matters play on your mind so it's hard to stay focused on the mundane. Plan your year around a course of study for a fresh intellectual challenge adds another string to your bow. Taking classes at night or on the weekends is a really sensible option. It could put you on a new career path.

You need to sort your head out and the best way is to take some time off by yourself and figure out your psyche. Thinking of people you've loved and lost could put you in a melancholy mood if you're not careful. The New Year is a time of fresh starts and new beginnings. If you lack companionship, join a club that's devoted to an issue that's close to your heart. You need to meet people who share your spiritual beliefs and sexual desires.

Making a fresh start in a relationship old or new is necessary to avoid a calamity later on. You mustn't be content to remain in a partnership that is making you behave like a stranger to yourself; you must have the companionship of someone special. Very often we have to take the rough with the smooth but there is only so much either of your can take now. Be honest about your likes and dislikes; that way, you can decide whether it's time to go or stay.

A total change around in your work or job is called for if you are going to get the best out of yourself. You must also be more respectful of your body, or it will rebel in some form or another. Get enough sleep, eat healthful meals, and above all, move your body! Just because it's January doesn't mean you can't be active. Join a gym that has a pool or indoor track. Just a half-hour of exercise each day can make a huge difference - take the dog for a walk and if you haven't got one, try the cat!

Whatever you do over the next two weeks will be the start of a major and fruitful phase to come. Your creativity is heightened, thanks to the invigorating energy of the New Moon. Something born of you is the seed corn of a massive breakthrough, for the minute you unleash your potential you give yourself a reason for being. Your love life too is about to become more active and amorous because you now send out signals that others see as outstandingly attractive. A mouth-watering prospect for all concerned!

This is a superb time for laying your roots somewhere new so start looking out for where. Concentrate on home and domestic issues if only to protect you from hassle in your public life. Everybody is so eager to criticise; it's hard to get new projects off the ground. By keeping matters private, you'll be in a better position to develop projects to a point where everyone will admire them. If you don't change address then change where you live to include a workspace.

Mega news is meant for someone else but affects you in a brilliant way so don't run for cover! The New Moon in your house of communications tells you that old attitudes can no longer die-hard but disappear into the annals of your mind. You must adopt a new approach to your everyday life and lifestyle and also harness the ever-growing band of hi-tech instruments and use them to your advantage. A little nouse will do it, and you've plenty of it!

Tearing down the walls of financial mismanagement ensures prosperity to come have you the guts to do it? Anything to do with your personal economy that has stood the test of time still needs updating. But if you have soldiered on with a bank, building or insurance company, indeed anyone who takes your money but never seems to want to be held accountable for it, then serve them notice that you are about to send in the auditors or look closely into matters for yourself.

Your personal New Year has begun so over the coming fortnight it's out with the old and in with the new. Expressing yourself genuinely and without feeling held back is vital now. Be honest instead of tactful. Do things to please yourself, not others. Above all, do whatever you want, when you want. Slowly but surely, you'll win the respect of both your peers and superiors, thanks to your resolve. A new you is born.

Living through past worries or upsets is holding you back, dump the emotional baggage and move on. It's hard to grow up when you are living with a memory or image that is difficult to release. But until you do the demons within will just get bigger and bigger. So if you cannot learn to help yourself then seek guidance or help through a counsellor or analyst who can. None of this means you are weak it just means you have been very sensitive and are full of regrets because you cannot turn the clock back. You're only human.

The future starts here because the New Moon tells you that it's time to move on or get stuck in a rut. Friends and family can be a valuable source of support right now, when you're ready to make a daring move. Following your dreams is always scary. Fortunately, your loved ones will be more than willing to give you their full support. Anything linked to a collective ideal or aspiration is well worth getting involved with, as united you all stand, and divided you won't make a scrap of difference.
