NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS – PART FOUR: How do you set – and keep – goals worth striving for in 2001? Sagittarius: No mid-level goal could ever satisfy you – you shoot for the moon. It’s easy to get discouraged in the early stages of goal-attainment because your target is so far. According to quantum physics, you do not necessarily have to travel through everything between point A to point B in order to arrive at point B. Sometimes you skip all of the middle stuff with one exhilarating quantum leap and land where you want to be. The new year challenges you to believe in miracles! Aquarius: Imagining the future is your forte. You could fill pages and pages with your wants, dreams, desires and aims. Your key to attainment is organization. It is both difficult and unfulfilling for you to concentrate on one goal at a time, but keeping careful records and plans for your numerous projects will save you from feeling like you’re spinning your wheels. Deadlines are effective, too. Pisces: Being too self-sufficient may impede you from keeping resolutions and accomplishing goals as quickly as you would if you utilized the resources of loving people around you. You’ll learn to be less independent and more interdependent next year.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Jimmy Buffett possesses the Capricorn character trait of persistence. He and others born under this success-oriented sign will not stop pursuing an interest until they are masterful, if not ranked among the leaders in their division. Whether it’s music, writing, stage production or flying airplanes, the world must make room for this sign to do what is necessary to be the best! Versatility is the name of Capricorn’s game!
