CAPRICORN (DEC. 22 – JAN. 19)

There's one way that you can make sure that you'll hop all the way to the mountaintop in 2011 — compromise and sacrifice. They may be dirty words to you right now, but that shouldn't get your goat. In fact, don't dirty words get your li'l goat juices runnin' sometimes?

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20 – FEB. 18)

If you really want to know why you're lacking a little in the love department lately, then take some time to think about it (seeing as thinking's what you Aquarians do best). Specifically, think about this in 2011: If you can't give yourself to anyone, why would anyone give themselves to you?

PISCES (FEB. 19 – MARCH 20)

The old folks always say pride comes before a fall, probably because if your nose is too far in the air you can't see where the hell you're going. This coming year, make sure you keep your eyes on your feet instead of the clouds, or else you'll be gettin' an even closer look at the dirt on the ground!

ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)

What gives? It's not even the New Year yet and the world is already rockin' with oodles of opportunities a-knockin'. You should be happy as a brand new pappy, but you just can't shake the feeling that something's about to send you reeling. Well, it's just your inner lamb bein' a bitch, so stick with your plans and don't ditch!

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

In 2011 it's of utmost importance you make amends with your friends. You need ’em as much as they need you since you can help keep each others' heads from explodin' and your souls from corrodin'. Although, you may find yourself to be the smartest shopper in the mall, what does that matter if you have no friends 'cause you've "outsmarted" them all?

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)

Temptation is going to cause you trouble in 2011 and there's no way you'll be able to turn away. Sure, it'll tear apart your world and throw you headlong into the abyss, but hey, it's the 21st century so that's gonna happen on a daily basis. Succumb or resist, at least one of your heads is smart enough to know there's a lesson to be learned in there somewhere!

CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)

Remember in 2011 that even when it looks like you've lost everything, there's always love. You may not feel that way at the moment, but just keep watering that tiny seed and eventually it will grow into something that'll feed you not only for droughts from this year's strife, but for the rest of your life!

LEO (JULY 23 – AUG. 22)

You may think that in order to get what you want, you're going to have to take matters into your own hands and make a strong stand. Normally that would be true for folk like you, but in 2011 it's best you just wait for things to resolve themselves. There are forces at work in the background that just can't be pushed around!

VIRGO (AUG. 23 – SEPT. 22)

In the coming year, you'll feel a spiritual need that'll make you shake to your core when you feel you have to transcend this realm's rigamarole like never before. Well, magic and drugs are for the slow-minded slugs — only the understanding of unconditional love will help you settle this score!

LIBRA (SEPT. 23 – OCT. 22)

Use the big burst of energy you're feeling at the start of the year to work your way to your ultimate goal. It's a long and rocky road, but that's OK ’cause you've got yourself a little insurance policy. Call it luck or an angel in heaven, but something's gonna be lookin' out for you in 2011, so now's the time to take those chances!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23 – NOV. 21)

In 2011 you'll wanna make certain before you use your stinger that it's not yourself you'll be hurtin'. Rules are rules or so they say, but you're not the only one who sets ’em up that way. Your codes of practice and rules of conduct may be OK, but they don't mean much if you don't have any friends, do they?

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22 – DEC. 21)

You know that puzzle you've been working on for ages? The one whose pieces you've been shuffling around again and again tryin' to get ’em all to fit in? Well, this is the year where you'll finally get to see what the finished product actually looks like when the picture develops like a Polaroid in front of your eyes. Expect a very pleasant surprise!
