WHAT'S MY SIGN? 2010

RAT
Luck & Money
You'll be laying down some new ground rules in 2010 so that finances and fun can hold hands a little more. Sure, you'll need to work hard for your money or do some serious negotiations, but you won't be in the same dark hole you've been in. New study or training could be part of the plan to increase your income, with some of you rewarded with a career breakthrough by October.

Love
You cool Rats lose your inhibitions in February/March, reviving hot-blooded passion with your partner or getting frisky with a new member of your rat pack. This marks the end of a celibate cycle for many of you; so along with the celebrations coming up, expect to be feeling well loved-up throughout the year. A new addition to the family is scheduled for May/June.

The Year Ahead
You get the vote of confidence in 2010, Rats! With your mind-set doing a 180, optimism and confidence obliterate the poisonous fallout of past negativity and a bad attitude. Many of you consider changing digs or reinventing your appearance in the August/September period. This is in line with the new position, family fluctuations and/or persona you adopt.

oxOX
Luck & Money
This is the year when people are fully prepared to invest in your ideas and talents. So make an effort to pull yourself out of go-slow mode and benefit from the opportunities that present themselves, particularly around August and November. Go for gold in a competition or sporting event around March, as 'winner' is written all over your or a loved one's face!

Love
You've been uncharacteristically moody recently, and largely because you have been wrestling with those inner demons. Your self-imposed emotional exile is over in April, when you iron out wrinkles with relatives or friends and feel on top of your game again. May and September are headlined for romance and good times. Clearly, the frustration with someone has been sexual tension all along.

The Year Ahead
Your mind, body and soul start to itch for change in 2010. Instead of trudging along doing the same awkward routine and ignoring that little voice inside you screaming 'boring', you'll be opening yourself up to exciting new activities and interesting new people. A change in your spiritual direction or involvement in a special group is highlighted in the first quarter of the year.

TIGERTIGER
Luck & Money
It's your year to be on top, so expect to stare success right in the Tiger eye. You'll show your prowess by negotiating your way out of tricky financial traps you've plummeted into. Mid-year indicates opportunities for a complete change of direction. However, it might be wise to hedge your bets until you have a more secure footing later in the year.

Love
Before you can give any relationships a chance, first you must be prepared to trust. Look at those cat fights and past hurts as part of your journey, then give someone the chance to love the real you in May or November. And this time it will be on your terms. A surprise family announcement or home offer is highlighted for August or December.

The Year Ahead
It's purely those insecurities preventing you from heading down your true path. Your instincts are on high-beam, so don't let the loaded advice of others steer you in the wrong direction. Through yesterday's obstacles, you are by far a wiser person, and getting your teeth into further study or retraining will add to your credentials. Your spirit is fired up, so on your mark to launch yourself into a new chapter.

rabbitRABBIT
Luck & Money
You'll have the luxury of merging your personal life with something business oriented during March or July. This could see you doing something from home or being head-down/tail-up with a friend. You adopt the right attitude to meet the hefty schedules and financial challenges in the latter part of 2010, as you settle those debts, stand your ground with money pressures and tie up loose ends.

Love
Be ready to both reclaim your personal power and expose your vulnerabilities in your private life. Your regained confidence is mirrored in the healthy connections you make in February or October. You'll have energy to burn in a new or current relationship, or a rekindled affair, in December. Don't get all fluffed-up when a family member moves to the neighbourhood or shows up unannounced in July. Is a truce possibly in order?

The Year Ahead
There will be unlimited potential for personal growth and creativity throughout 2010. It might pay to stop hopping from one thing to another if your plan is to eventually have firmer foundations to burrow into. You'll also be encouraging younger relatives or friends to achieve their full potential. As a result, your generosity will be rewarded in valuable ways.

dragonDRAGON
Luck & Money
You're already one step ahead of the rest with that financial plan and those group shares which promise to zoom up the market charts in February or August. Stay on your game in April and September, so that one unscrupulous neighbour or work mate doesn't steal your thunder. Life is smokin' hot in August or November when you receive a good-news email or fabulous results.

Love
Has the flame fizzled out with someone, or are you working on ways to get the fire burning with a newcomer? Do what you can in the March to June period in order to re-ignite the passion or introduce some romance into the equation. Platonic friendships bloom in the July/August period, and don't miss the opportunity to bond with a new family member.

The Year Ahead
Occasionally, even the Dragon needs a helping hand. And in 2010, when you re-examine areas of your life that continue to serve you well and those that need to be relinquished, you'll lean on loved ones a little. You could meet someone who becomes your personal guru or join an enlightened group. It will inspire you to make ambitious inner shifts that fire up your everyday existence.

Luck & Money
You kick-start the year with a burst of determination to help you go the extra mile with a financial issue that has been hanging at the post.

Expect a few surprises when you become attracted to someone who you sense is out of your league or comes from the wrong side of the tracks.

You'll need to avoid sitting on the fence, but it's important you aren't swayed by someone's temper tantrums or crocodile tears.

The Year Ahead
This year finds you giving your belief systems a total facelift. Suddenly your current way of thinking holds little conviction, and you're ready to try some new life concepts and assert fresh aspects of your personality. You set new ground rules in your personal life, build healthier boundaries and race towards a more satisfying domestic and family life. Time to retrain your mind and create more serenity for yourself.

bullet and come clean. Rings and things are lovingly exchanged in September or November.

The Year Ahead

Loved ones are quick to press your buttons, but this year's big lesson is learning how not to react.
