SAGITTARIUS horoscope for 2008

Life: For the past few years, you've had to come to terms with some crucial and vital issues. These challenges have helped you realise the full extent of your personal power. They have also changed the way you look at the world and have made you more aware of how precious and fragile life really is. Whether you realise it or not, your presence has had a profound effect on the people around you. 2008 begins a new phase for you, one that's less intense but just as exciting. The focus will shift to your moneymaking abilities. Demanding the money you deserve for your talents will be your primary objective over the next sixteen years. This doesn't mean you'll become materialistic it's more that you will begin to realise the full value of your skills. Don't be afraid to demand a raise, increase your rates, or seek a higher paid position. An argument with a heavy handed authority figure may erupt in the two weeks following February 21st. Speaking truth to power has never felt so good.

Love: Your sex appeal will be irresistible between January 1st and January 24th; use this golden period to seduce the object of your affection. You'll burn plenty of calories between the sheets from May 1st through to May 24th; who needs the gym? If you're looking for love, you could very well find it from April 7th through to April 30th. Keep your eyes open at a sporting event, parade, or marathon. If you're already in a relationship, spend these days wining and dining your beloved. A romantic vacation is favoured between July 13th and August 6th; head for a place that is famous for glamour and glitz. Your wit, charm, and good looks are impossible to ignore from October 19th to November 12th. You'll have your pick of admirers during these exciting weeks.

Loot: This year abounds with moneymaking offers; your challenge will be to pick the most rewarding ones. Opportunities related to law, publishing, education, medicine, and psychology are all favoured. Ultimately, you'll be able to turn a profit wherever you go. An impressive leadership position may be handed to you in the wake of a scandal around February 21st. Telling off your boss could result in your taking their job. Alternatively, you may decide to go into business for yourself. Writing a book, teaching a class, or guiding others on a personal learning curve could make you a respected authority in your field.

Luck: Your greatest good fortune this year lies in your ability to make lots and lots of money. Before you run out and buy a huge mansion on the hill, consider that 2008 is slated to be the most profitable time of the next twelve years. Therefore, it would be wise to treat yourself to some nice rewards, but to put the majority of your funds in the bank. Making wise investments now could enable you to retire early, pay off an existing mortgage, or send your kids to college with very little fuss. If you're going to splurge, spend your money on beautiful luxury goods that afford long term pleasure, like art, jewellery, and antiques.
