Make the Most of 2012

Every Sun sign is entering 2012 under different planetary influences. Here are the most important issues for you to focus on -- according to the cosmos -- as the new year unfolds.

Aries
Details matter in all areas of your life now, so slow down and attend to the little things. Review your health and daily routines to ensure you’re as efficient as possible. Wellness rituals are as important work commitments.

Taurus
Jupiter in your sign means a little effort takes you a long way. Making dreams come true is almost as easy as just trying. Work is a breeze, and travel and adventure are highlighted.

Gemini
Your home and family life is under review, thanks to Mars. It’s time to make improvements in these areas, and balance life with work. Mercury brings second chances -- especially in relationships.

Cancer
Your friends are your lucky charms at the moment, so don’t isolate yourself. Staying in touch keeps you smiling and ensures that you don’t miss work opportunities as they arise.

Leo
Finances need extra attention under Mars’ influence. Be practical and put a little extra away in case of unexpected costs. Jupiter brings new growth at work, making career planning more important than ever.

Virgo
Expect delays in work projects or financial planning. Mars is stationary in your sign, reminding you that the best way forward requires planning and research. Take your time before committing.

Libra
Uranus jumpstarts your love life this year. Be flexible and spontaneous to make the most of unexpected romantic encounters. Experiment in love.

Scorpio
Jupiter helps you expand your experience of love, urging you to get out of your comfort zone. Forget the mysterious approach; it’s time to put your feelings out there.

Sagittarius
Mercury is now back on track and it’s time to deal with any loose ends from late 2011. What was too tricky to organize then is much easier now -- and doing so will bring you peace of mind.

Capricorn
Reflect on 2011’s career shifts. New responsibilities have emerged, but don’t commit to anything long-term if it doesn’t support your professional goals. Creativity and connections with kids are about to move to the next level.

Aquarius
Venus in your sign until mid-January helps you make a winning impression as the year starts. Jupiter brings opportunities to expand in your home life: an addition to the house … or a baby, perhaps?

Pisces
Mars in your relationship sector suggests improvements could be made in your closest relationships. Re-evaluate how you deal with loved ones and clients. Small changes make a big difference.
