Everybody knows his/her Sun Sign. Anyone can check a horoscope in the paper or on the Web and get that general prediction. You don't have to be an astrologist to realize that these general reading couldn't possibly fit the millions of people born under a particular sign. Ever wonder why? Your "sign" is only the sign that the sun was in when you were born. There are many, many other influences and don't forget that the planets are constantly in motion. These influences are never ending. The calculations are rather technical and most people just don't have the patience for it. But, these constant influences are very interesting and fun to track. At Astrology With A Twist , I'll update you from time to time on the stars' influences on us and the world we live in. Visit often to discover the ever unfolding story of the stars.

The Winter Holidays have passed and the New Year is almost a week old. The past few years have been a challenge, more so for some than others and now we are wondering what's in store.

Of course The Stars can never predict the future, but we can get an idea of the general influences and an overall picture. 2012 is likely to be a year of tension between ideals and practical day-to-day issues. It should come as no surprise that economic security will continue to be an issue. Patience, discipline and careful planning are the key - we're not likely to see any quick fixes even though there is likely to be a strong tendency towads quick decisive action as opposed to honect diplomacy and communication. The best course of action in 2012 - be on guard against those who seek to charm and/or convince. More so than ever, concentrate on due diligence, get the facts and do the accounting.

Wishing all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
