Forecast for the Filthy Rich

January 2008

Mercedes Benz (a.k.a. Capricorn, December 22 – January 20): This should be an outstanding month for you with good fortune possible, especially toward the end. You're likely to discover something new about yourself that is going to be very profitable in the future. This is not to say that there are no challenges out there. If you have employees of any variety, they're likely to be resistant to doing their job and may be grumbling about conditions and making demands. Legal matters are likely to be stuck in reverse and heaven help you if you're trying to plan a trip abroad. This is going to last until late spring, so you'd do well to concentrate on other areas for now, like promoting yourself and taking some time off to relax. In other words, provide yourself with an environment conducive to getting to know yourself better.

Jaguar (a.k.a. Aquarius, January 21 – February 18): Inspiration is likely to be profuse and include something new that is going to make a very significant difference in your life. This could be of a spiritual nature or simply an expansion of your fondest dreams, to acquire that nice place you saw in the Thousand Islands. Real estate prices being down aren't a bad thing if you're the buyer, kapeche? On the other hand, your lovelife and children may be a bit on the annoying side with these particular individuals either grumpy or making demands that are making you grumpy. Your best bet is to make some time for yourself and surround yourself with the peace and quiet you need to tune into that inspiration.

Porsche (a.k.a. Pisces, February 19 – March 20): Household members are likely to be less than enchanting these days, making you want to run away to Buenos Aires or somewhere else equally out of cell range. Any close relationships in your life are probably stuck in reverse and you're trying to figure out which ones are worth it and which ones aren't. On the positive side, interactions with your pet organizations or associations should go very well. Something new is on the horizon, which is likely to be very beneficial, judging by the presence of lucky and expansive Jupiter and lucrative Venus in that neighborhood. It doesn't take a technical genius to do the math on that one, that your time will be better spent at the Club than home this month.

Hummer (a.k.a. Aries, March 21 – April 20): You probably have a pretty substantial laundry list of the people getting on your nerves these days, especially those cretin, nouveau rich neighbors down the road. Any projects you're pursuing are probably going nowhere, with your project managers acting deaf and dumb when you start asking those hard questions. This is likely to continue until late spring, so spend your time in more lucrative areas. One area that looks very favorable right now is your house of career and reputation. Lucky, expansive Jupiter and lucrative Venus will both be there by the end of the month along with a New Moon, implying something new and big in that area. Make sure you're in the right place at the right time.

Bentley (a.k.a. Taurus, April 21 – May 21): Keep a close eye on your finances this month and other possessions. Accidents or problems are especially likely the first half of the month, so don't take any unnecessary chances. Your children may be causing you a lot of grief these days, and they may actually be the source of the financial challenges. Expect the same until late spring. On the very positive side, however, the luckiest planets in the solar system, Jupiter and Venus, will both be in a favorable position for you at the end of the month as far as any legal work or long distance travel is concerned. Property values may be down, but that means opportunity when you're the buyer, and I know the only thing you may like better than cold, hard cash is land, and lots of it.

Ferrari (a.k.a. Gemini, May 22 – June 21): You're likely to be perceived as aggressive this month, even if it's not intentional. Be aware, and consciously tone it down in situations where it might not be to your advantage. Things at home may be somewhat stuck in reverse lately, which will continue until May at least. Bear with it and put your energy in more productive areas. For example, if you're looking for investors you couldn't have a better time. Two of the luckiest planets in the solar system, Jupiter and Venus, are hanging out in that neighborhood along with a New Moon, so if you have something afoot now's a great time to get to it.

Lexus (a.k.a. Cancer, June 22 – July 22): You may be a bit melancholy these days without knowing why. The "why" is Saturn, and this will continue until May, so put your energy into areas that will help pull you out of the doldrums. Usually counting your assets does this, but with the market and land values like they are lately, that might not even help. Your best bet is to focus on your relationships with those that mean the most to you. There are lots of good vibes in that area and your time would be well spent getting to know the people closest to you better, especially if you've been ignoring them a bit lately. You're likely to find this gives you some food for thought regarding what your priorities really should be.

Rolls Royce (a.k.a. Leo, July 23 – August 23): The odds are good that your financial picture has not been going too well lately. I know you appreciate honesty, so I'll go ahead and warn you that this will probably continue until May, when they'll gradually turn around and be on track again by August. So rather than fret about it, secure things the best you can and concentrate your energy in areas where it will be more productive. One area that looks favorable right now, especially toward the end of January, will be any projects you've been thinking about but just haven't quite gotten off the ground. More than likely, thing will fall into place like steps on the yellow-brick road. Be cautious dealing with organizations, or even those you think are your friends, as they may not have your best interest at heart.

Lamborghini (a.k.a. Virgo, August 24 – September 22): You have probably been feeling the weight of the universe for a while now and I hate to tell you this, but it probably is going to last until May. Self-introspection and questioning some of the paths you've taken are most likely on your mind and you're not exactly seeing the bright side, practical creature that you are. Just be glad it's not Pluto, since he moves very, very slowly and a visit from him lasts for literally years. On the positive side, now is a very fortuitous time for your creative efforts, to spend time with your children, or to meet someone new. If you're already dating someone, there's no better time to revitalize the relationship. Be on the lookout for those who may try to damage your reputation and whatever you do, don't give them a target-rich environment.

BMW (a.k.a. Libra, September 23 – October 23): This would be an outstanding time to take some time off and just spend it with your family, preferably at home as the planets aren't too friendly regarding a trip abroad. You may have been neglecting this part of your life while pursuing other interests, but the payoffs from investing in those closest to you and your home right now will be very positive and bring you some of the fulfillment and meaning you've been looking for lately. If you have an legal issues under review, it may be good to let it ride for a while because that area doesn't look very favorable right now.

Maybach (a.k.a. Scorpio, October 24 – November 22): Caution is warranted for the better part of this month regarding your finances and possessions. Be diligent is guarding what's yours and read the fine print and do the research before investing in anything or anyone. Your instincts are some of the best, so use them to their full capacity while the two bad actors of the Zodiacal set, Mars and Pluto, mess with these areas of your life. On the positive side, you are well positioned to come up with some very good ideas, especially toward the end of the month. Some may be further development of old ideas, but there should be an excellent new one in the mix as well. A neighbor could possibly lend some assistance as well. Continue to reassess your associations and where you spend your time and money. Where you've been doing so in the past may not be what's best for you in the future.

Masserati (a.k.a. Sagittarius, November 23 – December 21): Whereas some of your compadres are having to guard their possessions with due diligence this month, Lady Luck should be in your corner. The two most fortuitous planets in the solar system, Jupiter and Venus, are currently smiling down on this area with the promise of something grand. Keep your eye on the Journal for hints, though there's no telling what or where it will be. This will be a good area for you to focus your energy as your relationships may not be going too well. One or more of those closest to you as well as yourself may be playing one of those passive-aggressive games, that seldom does anyone any good. If you're not entirely enchanted with your current career, it's also a good time to be gathering information and thinking about a new one.
