Aries (March 21 - April 19) You may the first and only person in the office who's glad the holidays are over. The rest, though, may wax nostalgically about something that happened just a week ago. For you it's all about new beginnings, so decline their invite to another eggnog party, and be polite about it. Telling them where they can stick their gingerbread man cookies may be considered a tad rude.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) You welcome this first week of the new year as a great time to wipe the slate clean and start fresh. Despite this outlook, beware of slipping into old habits. Sure, it's a Monday and the deli is serving their weekly navy bean soup. It could be time to establish new traditions -- that lentil is looking pretty good.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) The family may squabble over Mexican or Italian today, so it's up to you to take the reins. Whip together a homemade marinara sauce and throw in fresh salsa and a few diced jalapenos. Toss with angel hair pasta and voila -- it's the best of both worlds!
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) You might feel like you've got a tenuous grip on your emotions today, but keep it together, because having a meltdown at work isn't appealing. In fact, there may be others around you who are experiencing the same angst. Eggnog and gingerbread men cookie withdrawal can be harsh, so hang in there! Having a turkey sandwich at lunch might help.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) January is National Hot Tea Month, and you're amazed at what you learn. You could discover the difference between tea varieties, and even the powerful health benefits of tea. Mostly you learn how nice it is to slow down, relax, and sip contemplatively on a soothing cup of organic green tea.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You're a seeker of truth, but today you may want to suppress that burning desire to know what's real. Just let your mind go blank as you bite into that plump street corner vendor hot dog. Smother it in lots of mustard, relish and onions, and don't ask any questions.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Your creativity flows like the waters of a mighty river today, but keep yourself fueled as the day progresses or you could see your ideas dry up. Munching on healthy snacks like fruit, cups of non-fat yogurt and trail mix should keep you swimming in brilliant ideas for the rest of the day.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Being rushed to the emergency room is no way to open this new year, so keep yourself out of harm's way by avoiding potentially dangerous situations. Cooking could be one of them, what with all that fire and sharp objects. Make it a pizza night, but don't bite into that first slice right away. The resulting third-degree burns on your tongue and the roof of your mouth aren't any fun.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) The beginning of a new year could have a rejuvenating effect on you, and you can expect today to be highly enjoyable. You wish you could bottle that positive feeling, so enjoy it while it lasts by tingeing everything you do with a sense of fun, right down to your lunch. A simple bowl of alphabet soup could be a blast!
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Postpone party plans for tonight because, really, isn't it enough with the parties already? Spend a quiet evening at home whipping up a lively chili con carne. Use lots of hot chili powder and diced habaneras and the best party going on tonight is the one in your mouth.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You like to think that you're a bohemian at heart, but how far are you willing to go with that? Is this the year you finally take up that raw vegan diet, or does that become another broken resolution? Take baby steps if you're not sure, and strip meat from your diet in stages. This is a lifelong process.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Your tummy may be churning like an underground lava pool; is that deep-seated tension you're feeling? Those physical ailments may have psychological repercussions, so take a chill pill. Relax with a soothing cup of Japanese matcha green tea. Think positive thoughts. Take deep breaths. Everything's going to be okay, but have your therapist on speed dial, just in case!
