JANUARY 2008 HOROSCOPE

The start of the New Year finds relationships a bit topsy-turvy, which includes both in the animal and human worlds.  Relationships will be volatile, so it is important to maintain open lines of communication and to look at the other person’s perspective.  What plays out in January will be a sign of what is to come in the New Year.
ARIES (The Ram) March 21 – April 19: Your Aries pet will want to stay close to you this month.  They will be especially clingy if strangers come to visit, as they will not be very trusting.  Just reassure your pet that they are safe and that you will take careful measures to protect them.
TAURUS (The Bull) April 20 – May 21: Your Taurus pet will be very bothered by the cold in the next 30 days.  Even if your pet normally enjoys the frigid air, this month they will want the warmth of you and the safety net of their home.  Enjoy being bundled up with your best friend!
GEMINI (The Twins) May 22 – June 21: January finds your Gemini pet a bit on the pensive side.  They will be completing the entire goings on in the world and will worry about everything.  It is important to play soft music for your Gemini pet as this will sooth their neurotic side.
CANCER (The Crab) June 22 – July 22: This month finds your Cancer pet wanting to explore the great outdoors, especially when there is snow on the ground.  The cold weather will not bother your pet, however, keep it to a minimum.  Allow your Cancer their curiosity, but within reason.
LEO (The Lion) July 23 – August 22: Your Leo’s strong will, will come out this month.  The Leo pet will want and need to take charge of the household.  If you have a multi-pet household life is going to be difficult for the other pets.  You may want to compensate by having extra treats available.
