LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—You tend to be gregarious and fun to be with. As 2013 begins, you will be doing what you do the best: socializing and enjoying yourself. Romance could be

knocking on your door as well. This theme will continue through spring. It is almost as if you can wish upon a star. Attached Lions enjoy their bonds even more. Single Lions easily could find that they are in the throes of a special romance. Come summer, you’ll be more private. It might be a good idea to find out why. You are in the last leg of a 12-year life cycle. Think back 11 years. What were you doing? What did you start? What was the outcome? In the next 12 months, look at what no longer works in your life. You’ll want to be problem-free for your new life cycle, which begins in 2014.

Motto of the Year: Let others in and spice up your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—As 2013 unfolds, you might agree that you have a lot of responsibilities on your plate. In fact, there are a few too many, even for the efficient Virgo. You might find yourself doing two jobs rather than one, looking at a possible promotion or just working overtime. The good news is that, from late June on, you will see your rewards, and it all will be worth it. Summer brings you joy in some form, and you will enjoy your life once more.

You’ll discover that as you smile, the world smiles back at you. If you are single, you will have a very intense romance knocking on your door. You could even meet The One. If you are attached, the unexpected adds excitement to you and your partner’s lives. As a couple, you are likely to materialize a long-term desire over the summer months. How you leave 2013 will be a lot different than how you greeted it.

Motto of the Year: It gets better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)—You are making many more of your dreams a reality this year. How exciting! Those of you who only dream and take no action will be sorry. This type of opportunity doesn’t happen often, so grab a hold of it while you can. This magic will dissipate by mid-June. From summer 2013 on, your work expands dynamically. Many of you could receive a pay raise or promotion in the months that follow. Your home life will be demanding, as there appears to be a profound transformation either within yourself or within a partner. Sometimes your fuse could blow because of the many demands being placed on you. Relax—you cannot change the inevitable. If you are single, you can expect excitement in dating; however, you will want to take a year to relate to someone before committing. If you are attached, you could be experiencing a roller-coaster ride, as your partner is reinventing him- or herself.
Motto of the Year: Remain patient.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)—You tend to be a little reserved, so open up to a new beginning this year. You are starting a 28-year cycle, so a little reservation might be appropriate. For instance, it might help your diet to hold back some, as you will think twice about grabbing that piece of cake. As always, there are pros and cons. Partnerships of all sorts are highlighted through June. Those around you care a lot, and their expressiveness will help make some of your reticence vanish. What a relief! In summer 2013, consider traveling, going back to school and/or trying new adventures. Slowly but surely, you will open up to a new world of experiences.

Motto of the Year: Relax as much as you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—You might be enjoying a loved one’s efforts to entice you, but know that sooner or later this will come to an end. Come June 2013, a relationship that might involve a business partnership will become more workable, and both parties will be left smiling. Many of you will reorganize your budget and structure your finances differently. If you are single, you could be in the same position as someone around you who just might turn out to be Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, your love life will have an unpredictable quality. You might be surprised by the ingenuity of your inner child or by the excitement of a newfound lover. Understand that it would be a mistake to quell this person’s vital energy. Kick back more
often.

Motto of the Year: Stay present.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—You are changing, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Others certainly are reactive, especially family members. Even the family pet senses your transformation. You will have your hands full, because people are often frightened of change.

Your daily life and health will be buoyant through mid-June. Even if there is a problem, the resolution that follows is far better than you might realize. Work might be demanding, so be willing to put in the hours. In the long run, it will be worth it. Relationships flourish, whether you are single or attached. If you are available, you will not believe the possibilities that await you.

Motto of the Year: Accept that you are changing. Avoid major commitments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Your dynamic personality has allowed more creativity, romance and solutions to come forth and open up than ever before. Embrace this ingenuity and openness through mid-June 2013. At that point, your focus will switch to health, diet and work. In such an optimistic frame of mind, you could go too far and overindulge. Self-discipline will be necessary. On the other hand, you accomplish a lot quickly, as your energy is high. You have been learning a lot about life and its unpredictability, and you will continue to do so.

Sometimes you will be shocked or startled, but ultimately you will look back and smile on all the excitement.

Motto of the Year: Keep smiling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)—You’ll discover that you will get what you want if you work hard. As you smile at the victories, often you might wonder: Did I really want this? Review your goals more frequently, and discard the ones that no longer are valid. You might be considering getting another degree or opening up to more spiritual thinking. Know that this is a long-term growth cycle. Through mid-June, you will be more involved in your domestic life than ever before. If you are single, summer 2013 will initiate a period in which a very special loved one could enter your life. Do not assume that the first person you meet is The One, unless you really feel that way. There will be another choice if you decide to keep looking. Attached Fish will act like newlyweds, and come fall and winter, many of you still will be acting that way.
Motto of the Year: Let events unfurl.
