Many of your hopes and wishes for the future can begin to take shape and come to fruition this New Year’s Day. You are in an excellent position to forge forward with your dearest dreams. A person you meet today is set to become a trusted friend in 1998.

Getting set for the new year ahead means altering your image and changing your identity in some way. A new look will boost your ambitions and give your career a chance to grow. An eye-catching appearance and professional presentation is a must for success.

This is the best day of the year for finalising a new vision for living. Make a list of resolutions in order of priori-ty as the main thing is to better your world in whatever way you can. Learn something new to make the most of your adept and clever brain.

1997 would have brought either a loss or major disappointment but a new year has now begun where you can put the pa-st behind you. It’s not easy to forget but you can wipe the slate cl-ean and start afresh taking on board what you have learnt in times gone by.

Expect to be introduced to someone very soon who’ll become special to you in the new year to come. 1998 dawns with a des-ire to find a person who complements you and that’s not such an impo-ssible task or dream. You could meet your ideal match before Easter.

Concentrating on your business and even bringing it into your home is worth considering in 1998. You’ll get more done by avoiding crowds and rush hours so hitch up to new technology and try to beat stress and tension by doing more from a domestic set-up.

You operate better as an individual when you have someone to share your life. If you are already partnered with a pers-on who brings out the best in you then 1998 is sure to be happy. Even if you are alone now, give it time and by 1999 you’ll meet your mate.

Home is where the heart is this Hogmanay and the more time you can spend in a familiar place today the better. Expect an announcement or some kind of indication of what a relative intends to do as it will affect you and alter your own plans in a major way.

Your mind is full of bright ideas and there is no reason why they shouldn’t come to fruition in 1998. One of the best ways for you to get ahead is to write letters and draw attention to your talents and skills. Communication is essential for success.

1998 begins with money on your mind. Money is what motivates and drives you at the best of times but a change of how you earn it, save it or spend it is necessary to make more of it in the new year. Modernise your financial set-up and attitude to prosper.

The Moon represents emotions and feelings astro-logically so it’s obvious that with the Moon in your sign as 1998 begins you will be feeling more emotional than usual. Your moods are steeped in nostalgia but the past is history; concentrate on the future.

1997 has been riddled with secrets and lies so to get 1998 off on the right foot you must finally close the door on any skeletons in your cupboard. Once you do, you can look forward to a new year having disposed of any guilt and make a clean breast of things.
