Your Most Auspicious Way to Usher in the New Year

ARIES: Whether you go out or stay in, make sure that fire is a part of your New Year's Eve ritual. Burn a candle and say a prayer, or sit with your loved ones around the fireplace and talk about all you want to accomplish in the new year. The flames positively invigorate your intentions. TAURUS: Let nothing restrict your flow of creativity and money as you head into the new year. This is no time to be thrifty or feel badly about spending money on quality entertainment and good times with friends. Furthermore, by tipping well you're expanding the channel for abundance to flow back to you. GEMINI: Your need to connect with people is powerful and your head can only rest once you're satisfied that you've contacted each person in your social network in some manner. You'll be especially lucky when you reach out to those you haven't seen in a long while. CANCER: Go on a cleaning binge and reorganize that hidden messy place in your house -- for instance, under the kitchen sink or in the catchall drawer. Orderly surroundings make for mental stillness, clarity and readiness. LEO: Give your family, friend and neighbors as much time as possible. Even short visits will put you in a lucky mood. You are regenerated by their smiles, rejuvenated by their hugs, reanimated by their laughter. You go into the new year as a real people person. VIRGO: Chances are you can't give up being a perfectionist or being hard on yourself -- and you really wouldn't want to. The result of your high standards and impossible drive is so fabulous! But there is one habit you could lose. Write it on a piece of paper and burn it over a candle. LIBRA: If you can manage to get some exclusive time with your No. 1 supporter, that will be magical. As long as you are together, what you do really doesn't matter. You could even just watch television. You are so receptive now to the kind of healing that occurs with a close connection to your most significant other. SCORPIO: Express your kookier side. You'll be around the people who can really appreciate your humor and you almost can't go too far with things. And when you're not being funny, there is poetry in your heart that needs to be unleashed. SAGITTARIUS: You love to be with your next of kin, but you also need a fair amount of new acquaintances around you as the ball drops. The more diverse your crowd, the better your spirits. Creating a common experience with very uncommon people helps you feel connected with all of humanity. CAPRICORN: You are in your glory these days and there is a long list of people who would like to be around you when the old calendar goes in the trash. Frankly, some of them fear that you'll grow distant in the new year. Your fortunes increase when you provide the reassurance they need. AQUARIUS: The prospect of starting a new project or relationship has you feeling positively effervescent. Follow your spirit's call and boogie your way into the new year. You don't even need a club! Life is a party even if you happen to be home alone. PISCES: The spiritual energy you feel going into the new year is so strong that it would be a shame not to share it. Gather with those with similar beliefs and offer up a prayer for the new year. Don't be afraid to make a few personal requests of the divine while you're at it.
