The New Year is now here and world-renowned astrologer Eugenia Last, a daily columnist with Universal Press Syndicate, has given her predictions for you in 2007. Last week, we presented the New Year for Aries to Virgo. Today, we continue with Libra to Pisces.
The year of the Pig is normally a very playful year, filled with overindulgence and fun-loving activities. However, for 2007, things will be left up in the air. Never has there been a time so diverse, a time that possessed such a dichotomy of pleasure and pain, a year that will grab our hearts as sensationalised events unfold before our eyes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You're cooking this year and everyone is enjoying what you are making. The chance to prove your abilities and to position yourself for future stardom is now. Now is not the time to become lazy or to count on things falling into place. It's up to you to make things happen and if you do, you will reach the top.
Love: everything you wish for will be easily acquired.
Money: offerings will be forthcoming and deals lucrative.
Health: effort and exercise will keep you in top shape.
Best months of the year: January, March, May, August, September
What you should strive for: endurance and practicality.
Fashion: unique, stately,
well-designed and tailored.
Your lucky numbers: 6, 9, 18,
24, 30, 38.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You have to push hard this year and stop waiting for someone else to make the first move. If you rely on others, you will not only stagnate but lose ground as well. Have more confidence in your ability to formulate and finish what you want to do.
Love: make it or break it - action will be required.
Money: will come to you through unusual means.
Health: limitations are the result of personal choices.
Best months of the year: February, April, May, July, October, November, December.
What you should strive for: progress and control.
Fashion: casual, pristine and sporty.
Your lucky numbers: 5, 12, 27, 33, 39, 45.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Too many ideas can cloud your ability to get ahead. Decide what is and what isn't worth your while and go through the process of development and elimination. Once you focus on what's best for you, nothing will stop you from reaching your goals. Avoid exaggeration, excess and extremism.
Love: fun-loving, exciting and plentiful.
Money: will slip through your fingers.
Health: take action and set a healthy regime.
Best months of the year: January, March, June, September.

Your lucky numbers: 1, 9, 27, 30, 37, 43.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may need a guiding light the first three quarters of the year. Look to those you trust and you will not be led astray. A chance to incorporate some of your old ideas, along with connecting with people from your past, will help to boost your confidence and reinforce your strength and courage.
Love: you can't buy love, so don't even try.
Money: hard work will pay off - be patient.
Health: more activity and less time to think equals good health

You can change your direction and make a great impression if you are willing to park your ego, admit your mistakes and work toward making things right.
Love: commitment and building a solid relationship.
Money: comes and goes - financial management is a must.
