Pisces

Year-Ahead Outlook For year commencing Jan 2008

Overview
Finally you're beginning to see how to make the future work for you. Your hopes will be high with visions of rosy glows on the far horizon. Just don't live so much for tomorrow than you forget to be wholly present in the moment. Your circle of friends and acquaintances will widen considerably with enthusiastic, adventurous though not always realistic mates around. Some of them will be influential people able to lend a helping hand. You'll feel less drained than last year by over work but you'll still need to stay on top form. One close partnership at home or at work will be going through a cooler, slightly negative phase. You'll see the flaws more clearly but don't forget to see the whole picture. Jumping into insisting on complete independence will not suit you. The good relationships will come through as loyal and steadfast. Find time for your own inner thoughts and dreams.

Romance
You'll still be betwixt and between not knowing quite what would suit you for the best. Your rebellious streak will send you off wandering in directions that suit you and won't make compromises easy. And you may find there's more criticism in your closest relationship. Be realistic and you won't go far wrong. It may be less fun than glossing over the flaws but it will ultimately give you a more solid foundation. Your social life certainly won't be dull since you'll have more than enough invitations, but Saturn may just take the edge of passion for a while. An impatient mood at home will have you on edge for a couple of months. Then you'll zip into a more entertaining phase when you'll be throwing yourself with gusto into enjoyment, entertainment and pleasure. July will be romantic and sparkling out on the wider social scene though tricky with those close. By September you'll know you have to make a few sensible decisions.

Money
Since the future is very much in your mind you'll be making decisions with an eye to the longer term. Not that this will necessarily mean you're being cautious. Jupiter may tend to boost your confidence to the extent that you think it doesn't matter what you do. Be wary about getting too far ahead of yourself. March and April will be months where you don't want to listen to advice or have anyone telling you what to do, so you could veer off in slightly the wrong direction just to prove your independence. Try to take hard headed advice. From late August you'll set to with determination to tackle joint finances which is where you share responsibility with others whether at home, work or with financial institutions. It will take a few weeks but with firmness, flexibility and a few compromises you'll emerge more secure.

Work
With Saturn rising above the horizon into your opposite sign you'll be taking on heavier responsibilities at work or at least feeling you have made a substantial step forward. Team relationships will be both improving and rather sticky so you may find certain colleagues a dream of support and encouragement, and others seem to want all the control. You won't enjoy being crowded so insist that everyone agrees on common goals and pulls together. At the start of the year you'll be going slow, distracted at times by low motivation or even your own discontentment. After mid year you'll get a grip, get yourself better organised and knuckle down to a steadier rhythm of chores and projects. You may not always feel appreciated but you'll do the best job possible since you want to be able to pat yourself on the back.

Health
With plenty of support around and Saturn not draining as much of your stamina, you should feel on better form. Though you'll still need to give yourself down time in the first six months. Don't feel you're being idle, just see it as time to get your body's motor tuned and recharged. From late May you'll be back putting out energy so you'll need to put equal attention towards your fitness regimes as you do towards duties. Then from August onwards you'll be even more serious about reviewing your physical lifestyle to see where adjustments are necessary to your diet, rest and exercise routines. Being a vague water sign you often ignore your body's signal but the Leo Solar eclipse will nudge you into paying more attention.

Birth Stone Your birth stone is aquamarine, blue-green like the sea. Sometimes moonstone or rose quartz. Aquamarine is useful in helping with problems around the eyes, liver, throat and stomach and can be a good luck charm. Moonstone is said to promote long life and happiness, to attract friendship and loyalty. It can also help reduce water retention. Rose quartz stimulates the imagination and the intellect, and helps with headaches.
