March 20-April 18

As 2010 winds down and 2011 beckons, lucky Jupiter pokes a toe into your sign. The year ahead offers several windows of opportunity for aggressive Rams. Many types of expansion will receive the cosmic green light. Yes, of course, that means romance. But what with taking over the world and all, will you have time? Better schedule a counseling session with the Christmas angel.

TAURUS

TAURUS

April 19-May 19

Take stock as you sip your eggnog. All things considered, this has been a good year for you. As the holiday season takes off and Jupiter does his last hurrah through your wish house, there's plenty to be pleased about. Now here's what you don't expect: heavy hitting planets accent past friends and associates. Looks like a very worldly Christmas.

As 2010 careens toward the finish line, you know the time has come to get out, see, and be seen. Test the waters while casting around for a guru type. Besides all the fa la la stuff, you'll stretch mentally, emotionally, even spiritually through this person. Growth opportunities abound (and we're not talking gingerbread men).

CANCER

CANCER

June 20-July 21

With so many invitations, your ho-ho-ho persona could flip to bah humbug. Temper the booze and goodies. Too much of a good thing can be way too much for you. Expect a little Yule drama and try to be ready. Look around -- a very shy angel waits to help. You've only to ask.

LEO

LEO

July 22-August 21

What you desire most is a dollop of intimacy served with your mincemeat pie. A major block stands in the way. You know it well because you put it there. Tumble that sucker and you'll not only feel "born again" but have better recall. So tell that to the Ghost of Leo Past!

VIRGO

VIRGO

August 22-September 21

Relationships -- or the lack there of -- weighed heavily on your mind and heart this year. Some expanded in strange and unexpected ways -- possibly right out of existence. Other Virgos discovered soul mates -- or thought they did. One thing's certain: all of you addressed the concept of partnership. This week: A one-on-one decision regarding shared creativity.

LIBRA

LIBRA

September 22-October 22

You worked hard in 2010, paid your dues, accepted the karma thing hanging over you. (Nobody will ever know how tough that has been!) Establishing a solid baseline emotionally was what the year was all about. This week, with power planets hovering around your communications sector, vow to take no prisoners.

SCORPIO

SCORPIO

October 23-November 20

Help yourself to a slice of mincemeat, Scorp. It's been a trying year, but now, with Venus moving into your sign, an exhilarating holiday season is the harbinger of better times in 2011. The sun does nice things moneywise before darting off to join Mercury for a twinkle toes number in your chat center. Christmas candles light the way to your place in the sun.

SAGITTARIUS

SAGITTARIUS

November 21-December 20

Don't expect much time for dreaming by the fire, Saj. Mars, your raucous roommate, guarantees a worldly Christmas. All that joy to the world jazz makes it tough for Archers to hold on to their resolves. The sun is a glamorous guest at your birthday table. You glitter like a Christmas star. Happy Birthday! Ho! Ho! Ho!

CAPRICORN

December 21-January 18

Enter the mentor. Someone ambitious and hard driving -- someone very like you -- becomes increasingly important as the nights grow longer. Your new guru ushers in the expanded bandwidth that characterizes 2011 for you. Perhaps you'll learn a thing or two together. Whatever, the connection's pure karma.

AQUARIUS

AQUARIUS

January 19-February 17

Jupiter's frolic in your money house ensures a pre-Christmas fling. You look so fab that no one knows what a tough year this has been for you. Friendly, funny, sexy friends take note. As Santa's elves get cracking, the potential's there for Christmas 2010 to be a magical holiday that puts a rewarding spin on a difficult times.

February 18-March 19

Wasn't this a great year!? Well, maybe -- most of the time anyway. Whether or no, the time's come to do the Ho! Ho! Ho! Christmas thing. Hopefully you Fish have not only made things happen but gotten credit for them. Act now to solidify those gains, then practice your acceptance speech.
