You spend the day of the 1st doing something you've been meaning to do for a while: getting it all off your chest. What, you ask, do you need to get off your chest? Silly! Only you know -- but whatever it is (long-standing grievances, buried hurts, minor irritations that are building into major problems because you aren't saying something that needs to be said), you'll feel a lot lighter once you stop carrying it around with you everywhere you go. On the 3rd and 4th, this lightness infuses everything you do, and opens you up to all the good energy coming your way. By the 9th, you could be seeing everything in a new light. Is it the pale blue of the winter sun? Or is it your new deeper understanding of what you want in life? Get ready for some busy days at work on the 11th and 12th, then watch the momentum build on the 13th, 14th and 15th. On the 20th and 21st, spend time taking stock. What has been going well this month? This year? This lifetime? Is there room, perhaps, for improvement? By the 25th and 26th, talking about something important could bring about a major change. It's never too late to make things better, you know. On the 28th, solve a problem, and on the 29th and 30th, take some quality time for yourself. On the 31st, draw up your New Year's resolution, then have a totally fabulous day!

Starting the evening of the 1st and continuing all weekend long, things are going your way. Whether the sun is shining or you're in the middle of a long, slow snowfall, you're feeling toasty warm. Get some extra sleep on the 4th and 5th, because you want to be wide awake during those days, when you're implementing new plans left, right and center. On the 9th, you have just one job: express yourself, express yourself, express yourself. Do it at work, do it at home or do it at dinner at your favorite restaurant with somebody you like a lot. Everyone is glad to know how you feel! On the 13th and 14th, don't forget that it's the season to get in touch with anybody you might not have seen for a while. Call them up, send them a card or go over and pay them a visit. On the 17th, it's time for a long winter's nap! Take one, if you can possibly squeeze it in. By the 21st, it's time to celebrate the winter solstice by doing some self-reflection. What have you done this year? What haven't you done? What do you wish you had done? What do you still want to do? Take notes -- they'll prove handy when you draw up your New Year's resolutions. On the 26th, you can see a problem others don't. You might even see the solution. By the 29th and 30th, things couldn't be better. Enjoy, and don't forget to make those resolutions!

On the 1st, you start the last month of the year with a wonderful day at work. Your shoes are shining and your eyes have that 'I just got it done' sheen. Eat a wholesome lunch and bask in all the goodness (and don't be surprised if you get a romantic voice mail -- or two!). From the 2nd to the 5th, it's time to loosen that white-knuckle grip on an old emotional issue -- why not figure out why you always choose friends who are so needy? Is it because your parents split up when you were a kid and you felt inadequate, and now you simply give too much to try, in a subconscious way, to make up for it? Whatever your situation, if you figure it out and let it go, you'll be better able to cope with life (and you'll be happier!). On the 9th and 10th, take control. Whether you're baking cookies or chopping firewood, heck, you know what you're doing! By the 14th, don't you think you deserve a rest? (Here's a hint: You do!) On the 16th and 17th, you're making use of your winter evenings to let your imagination take you to all kinds of interesting places. By the 23rd, you're sharing your insights with your colleagues, friends and family. Between the 27th and 28th, prepare yourself for a few stellar days (if you can!). On the 31st, you know what to do: Make your resolutions, then go to a party!
