Gemini

Year-Ahead Outlook For year commencing Jan 2008

Overview
This will be the year to explore your hidden depths and ask yourself questions which have never occurred to you before. There will be profound changes going on behind the scenes, financially, emotionally and in matters of vital importance to you personally as an individual. There will be enormous benefits coming your way as well as some frustrations so take the rough with the smooth. Putting effort into sort out a more settled home and family life for yourself will pay dividends, though you will be changing direction frequently at work and elsewhere and slightly distracted because of that. You'll have sorted out your thinking and your plans by the year end when your horizons start opening up.

Romance
At times you'll feel perplexed because of tricky emotional situations which seem to have no easy solution in sight. But as you proceed you'll find that certain close relationships become easier as you drop your defences and allow more intimacy to creep in. Tough there may be other close relationships in which you feel more crowded, so you'll need to be discriminating and accepting at times of what you can't change. Tensions may come out at home or within the family since you're not willing to put up with the old compromises any more. Try not to be negative but see where you can make constructive suggestions. Re-organising at home may take some of the strain off with a few physical alterations to ensure you have the space you want. From August you'll be partying like mad, in a mood for romance and feeling lighter hearted. Just tread gently near the end of the year.

Money
Sorting out your personal finances is a driving ambition for you in the early months since you want more security and more surplus to spend. And there is no doubt that determination will pay off. But the influences point to joint finances as the area where most change will take place. This is money you handle joint responsibility for with partners at home, at work or with banks and mortgage companies. There will be good luck and generosity coming your way as well as restrictions. There will be certain circumstances where you don't have the control you would like and there you must work out a strategy. Obviously you won't get it all your own way but that doesn't mean being totally submissive either. Find a way of standing your ground and being flexible at the same time. So you'll have some ups and downs which will with care balance each other out. Though definitely don't get near the end of the year over extended.

Work
You've got great ideas and a keenness to raise your sights higher. Saturn will be willing you on though Uranus on the other hand will keep you zig zagging your way along. Just don't expect the path up the mountain to be a straight one. Even when what appear to be setbacks occur, keep your eyes open still there will be opportunities hidden in them. Doors may close but others will open. Paying attention to detail will be beneficial from August onwards since only by staying on top of the small things will you manage to accomplish what you want. March will bring sudden chances to forge ahead, though you'll need to keep your focus steady. June and August will be exceptionally busy, times to manage your time well and be efficient. October will see you taking your courage in your hands and going for what you want.

Health
Since you're a highly strung sign, always restless and tending to burn up nervous energy, you need to be rigorous about scheduling rest and relaxation stops for yourself at regular intervals. It may not always be easy to wind down at home since you'll be constantly on the go there as well. Definitely take late April and most of May as your quality time for you. By November you'll be prompted to really get on top of your keep fit regimes. You'll need to recharge your batteries.
