March 21 – April 20

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Finish what you’ve started. You are closer to the finish line than you think, but you must keep working. When you are feeling the need for a butch coach or a perky cheerleader, call on a Leo.

April 21 – May 20

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Tap into your untapped creativity. Even if you think you are putting your artistic talents to good use, push yourself further. An Aries makes a divine muse.

May 21 – June 21

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Put more energy into your home. You may be a social butterfly, but your daily environment cannot be ignored. Spend time and money to make it your place of peace and inspiration. When your space is cozier, a Cancer will want a piece of you.

June 22 – July 22

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Network, sweetie, network! Well-organized Saturn in your sign conspires with Jupiter in the business-meets-pleasure sector of your chart. This is a year for making and keeping powerful friends. A Taurus wants to overpower you.

July 23 – Aug.22

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Plant a money tree and watch it grow. No more throwing good money after bad. Get rid of what you don’t need and make room for sound new investments. A Virgo wants to pinch you while you pinch your pennies.

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Focus on you. You have acted like a servant long enough; now it’s time to serve yourself. Stop giving your time and talent away for free. A Gemini is willing to pay — and pay well.

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Develop your spirituality, sweetie. If not now, when? Expansive Jupiter’s transit through your house of mystical things will give you the boost you need. All you have to do is meditate — and frequently. An Aquarius is meditating on a way to get into your pants.

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Work on your friendships. You don’t have to flip-flop between being totally dominating and totally submissive. (Save that for your sex life, sweetie.) With pals, aim for balance and truth. A Capricorn needs you more than ever this year.

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Focus on your career. You really need to act more pro-active, darling. A passive approach to your livelihood doesn’t lead to much. Brainstorm with another Sagittarius, and find ways to help each other.

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Take more risks. You have a myriad of intellectual obsessions, so why not start indulging a few? Your sense of responsibility is overdeveloped. It’s time to break out of your own self-constructed box. A Scorpio will help you bang your way out, baby.

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Put your energy into developing a serious romantic relationship. But first you may have to close a few doors (or say no to a few whores). A Libra is willing to go all the way — in every way.

Feb. 19 – March 20

Your New Year’s Resolution for 2004: Put the romance back into your romantic life. If you have to work a little harder at playing a little harder, so be it. Eventually, you and your partner will click — and then you’ll feel like you’re not f**king your lover, but your trick! Another Pisces can help you understand yourself better.
