Nice Letters We Get

The cruise was awesome - I came home with a new energy and personal strength. It was great to meet new people and to be with others who have so much to share. I look forward to next year and believe it will be even better. Thank you so much for all of your help and support and putting it all together.
Hazel

Wow what great memories I have. What a gift! That week was so special and something I will never  forget!
Warmest Regards,
Sue - Nashville
Cruise News

We do have final details for the cruise now. People are already calling our Travel Agent Tammy to reserve their spot. We are down to about 14 of the inside cabins available as people have already called in early. We are going out of New Orleans again as the prices were affordable and ports wonderful! The cruise is about $50 more this year but that's because we are going to an extra port! Instead of 3 stops, we will be making 4. As always, we have some wonderful speakers from all over the country on board. The ships are filling up quickly for some reason. It was difficult to find availability on many ships even though it is early in the year. We are glad we were able to secure the cabins we did...so if you'd like to participate, don't hesitate!

Chinese New Year

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's also Chinese New Year on the 9th..............so I wrote predictions for Love based on the Year of the Rooster

The Year of the Rooster

February 9  2005- January 28 2006

The Chinese New Years begins the second week of February and ushers in the Year of the Rooster. Overall, the new year will bring a lot of glitz and glamour;  fads in the fashion world and most members f the Chinese Zodiac will fare well. Being a relationship astrologer, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what's in store regarding love and romance based on the Year of the Rooster. Do you know what Chinese Zodiac member you are? If not, find more information below:

The Rooster

2/8/1921 to 1/27/1922
1/26/1933 to 2/13/1934
2/13/1945 to 2/1/1946
1/31/1957 to 2/17/1958
2/17/1969 to 2/5/1970
2/5/1981 to 1/24/1982
1/23/1993 to 2/9/1994

Love Forecast for the Rooster
Even though this year is going to be awesome, you may have to work a little harder in the game of love. Yes, you will be fortunate and extremely lucky in many areas of  life but things could get a little touchy in romantic situations. It's certain you will draw new and exciting admirers but make sure they love you for who you truly are so you can avoid false hopes and expectations. An Ox or a Snake is good choice for you. If you are already taken, then your marriage may have its share of ups  and downs. With the spotlight shining on you ever so brightly, your mate could feel a little left out. So be sure to appreciate your beloved and make them feel appreciated.

The Rat

2/18/1912  to 2/5/1913
2/5/1924 to 1/23/1925
1/24/1936 to 2/10/1937
2/10/1948 to 1/28/1949
1/28/1960 to 2/14/1961
2/15/1972 to 2/2/1973
2/2/1984 to 2/19/1985
2/19/1996 to 2/6/1997

Love Forecast for the Rat
For the Rat, the year ahead is not an easy one regarding love and affairs of the heart. It would be better to think in terms of commitment and "happily ever afters"  in 2006 rather than expecting love to be grand now. It seems you will be so busy and preoccupied with work, that love may be forced to take a back seat. You'll have to jump through a lot of hoops to make things happen and could find yourself burning the candles at both ends. If you are single, it is advised that you seek variety in life now, rather than put all your eggs in one basket. The more love options you have, the better. That way, you won't be disappointed if a relationship turns sour.

The Ox

2/6/1913 to 1/15/1914
1/24/1925 to 2/12/1926
2/11/1937 to 1/20/1938
1/29/1949 to 2/16/1950
2/15/1961 to 2/4/1962
2/3 /1973 to 1/22/1974
2/20/1985 to 2/8/1986
2/7/1997 to 1/27/1998

Love Forecast for the Ox
This will be a great year for love and romance! You'll attract tons of admirers and have plenty of opportunities to date new people. However, there's likely to be someone that will want to control you.They could be quite possessive and jealous. Try not to get involved emotionally with this person because it will be a hard relationship to get out of. This person could turn into a "stalker" or  a "fatal attraction". Otherwise, you will meet a lot of wonderful and compatible people. If you're already spoken for, this is a great year to rekindle a romance with your current love interest or take a commitment to the next level.

The Tiger

1/26/1914 to 2/13/1915
2/13/1926 to 2/1/1927
1/31/1938 to 2/18/1939
2/17/1950 to 2/5/1951
2/5/1962 to 1/24/1963
1/23/1974 to 2/10/1975
2/9/1986 to 1/28/1987
1/28/1998 to 2/15/1999

Love Forecast for the Tiger
There may no room for love and romance in your busy, hectic schedule unless you make time for it! You are going to be so focused on getting ahead in the career world or with your own personal agenda, that you may experience strains in personal relationships. Some Tigers may not be interested in starting a new relationship now as they have other things to occupy their time. However, if you already are in a relationship and your partner is as aggressive and ambitious as you are, then things should go well. But if you have a lover who sits around waiting for you to come home every day at 5p.m and centers their life only around you, then expect turmoil. A fair balance between work and play will be the key to a successful union.

The Rabbit

2/14/1915 to 2/2/1916
2/2/1927 to 1/22/1928
2/19/1939 to 2/7/1940
2/6/1951 to 1/26/1952
1/25/1963 to 2/12/1964
2/11/1975 to 1/30/1976
1/29/1987 to 2/16/1988
2/16/1999 to 2/4/2000

Love Forecast for the Rabbit
Be careful of putting your trust into people who aren't worthy of it. New love interests may not be what they first appear to be. So go slow. If you are already in a decent relationship but crave more excitement, it would be best to stick with the "tried and true" and think of  ways to breathe new life  into the current commitment. Goats and Pigs will be better choices for you this year.  Dating one of the two will help you avoid a heartache. But don't be fooled by sweet-talkers. Trust your first impression when you meet someone these days. Rabbits could easily draw superficial people now. If you're attached, communication will be important to keep things flowing smoothly...so keeps the lines open.

The Dragon

2/3/1916 to 1/22/1917
1/23/1928 to 2/9/1929
2/8/1940 to 1/26/1941
1/27/1952 to 2/13/1953
2/13/1964 to 2/1/1965
1/31/1976 to 2/17/1977
2/17/1988 to 2/5/1989
2/5/2000 to 1/23/2001

Love Forecast for the Dragon
You will meet someone very special this year that could lead to a deeper commitment, especially if you are single. If married, you'll spend more time with your mate and fall in love all over again. Don't be afraid to take chances and ask someone out that you've had your eye on now. This is one of the most fortunate cycles for love in a long time. Next year will not nearly be this good, so make the most of this lucky love cycle! If you're already involved with a Monkey or a Rat, your relationship grows to new heights. Enjoy!

The Snake

1/23/1917 to 2/10/1918
2/10/1929 to 1/29/1930
1/27/41 to 2/14/1942
2/14/1953 to 2/2/1954
2/2/1965 to 1/20/1966
2/18/1977 to 2/6/1978
2/6/1989 to 1/26/1990
1/24/2001 to 2/11/2002


Love Forecast for the Snake
This year will be a pretty good year for you overall. When it comes to love, there will be many opportunities and most of them very good ones! Don't settle for anything less than your heart's desire.Dragons, Oxen and Roosters are your best bets. If you have been with a steady partner for a while, it is likely you will be contemplating marriage. This would be a great time to get engaged or take a walk down the aisle. If you're already married, you and your mate will be content because you'll both work toward the same goals. Love deepens.

The Horse

2/11/1918 to 1/31/1919
1/30/1930 to 2/16/1931
2/15/1942 to 2/4/1943
2/3/1954 to 1/23/1955
1/21/1966 to 2/8/1967
2/7/1978 to 1/27/1979
1/27/1990 to 2/14/1991
2/12/2002 to 1/31/2003

Love Forecast for the Horse
You'll have to practice patience and date a lot of people before you find the "right one" this year. If you appear overanxious, you could come off as "needy" and most people will find this unattractive. Your best bet is to trust that the universe will bring you a perfect love and stop rushing things. Relax and see what happens! For the most part, blind dates will be waste. Forget about going back to the ex. But don't despair because next year, the year of the Dog ( 2006), will be the perfect time for a Horse to get married. You will find true love then... for sure! If you're attached now, expect your marriage to have its share of ups and downs. So keep the lines of communication open and be willing to bend a little.

The Dog

2/10/1910 to 1/29/1911
1/28/1922 to 2/15/1923
2/14/1934 to 2/3/1935
2/2/1946 to 1/21/1947
2/18/1958 to 2/7/1959
2/6/1970 to 1/26/1971
1/25/1982 to 2/12/1983
2/10/1994 to 1/30/1995

Love Forecast for the Dog
Long term and established relationship have a better chance of staying together than new ones this year. You will be super busy and everyone will want a piece of you. So it's going to be hard to juggle the obligations of the outside world with your personal ones. You may want to put time and energy into romance and nurture a relationship, but something always seems to come up that could stop you from doing so. If you are married to a Horse or Tiger, you will work together through life's ups and downs. If you're with a Rooster, life could be a crazy roller coaster ride this year.

The Pig

1/30/1911 to 2/17/1912
2/16/1923 to 2/4/1924
2/4/1935 to 1/23/1936
1/22/1947 to 2/9/1948
2/8/1959 to 1/27/1960
1/27/1971 to 2/14/1972
2/13/1983 to 2/1/1984
1/31/1995 to 2/18/1996

Love forecast for the Pig
Romance is hot this year! You will be drawing all sort of exciting people to your social circle now., However, you are the type that prefers a cozy, quiet love nest to a party-hearty type of relationship. If you choose a Rabbit, Goat or Dog, things go well because they suit your personality to a "T". If you're attached you and your partner will agree on most things this year. It's likely your commitment is solid and can last a lifetime since you both are willing to work on any issue that comes up.

The Goat

2/1/1919 to 2/19/1920
2/17/1931 to 2/5/1932
2/5/1943 to 1/24/1944
1/24/1955 to 2/11/1956
2/9/1967 to 1/29/1968
1/28/1979 to 2/15/1980
2/15/1991 to 2/3/1992
2/1/2003 to 1/21/2004

Love Forecast for the Goat
Look for a Horse, a Pig or a Rabbit when you're looking for love. They'll be your best bets.And now, single Goats are ready to mix and mingle. You're hungry for love and romance. You're sure to meet lots of new love interests this year because your personality is more outgoing than ever. If you are already spoken for, you will begin to understand the depth of your current relationship and appreciate your partner more than ever. Married? All of the hard work you have putting into your relationship will pay off this year! There are not any foreseeable problems unless you are with an Ox!

The Monkey

2/20/1920 to 2/7/1921
2/6/1932 to 1/25/1933
1/25/1944 to 2/12/1945
2/12/1956 to 1/30/1957
1/30/1968 to 2/16/1969
2/16/1980 to 2/4/1981
2/4/1992 to 1/22/1993
1/22/2004 to 2/8/2005

Love Forecast for the Monkey
You should have had a decent 2004 regarding your personal life. If you met someone fantastic, stick with this relationship. If you are Monkey that starts a brand new romantic encounter, a new person may not hold your interest for long. If you are married, you may have to work through some issues with your mate regarding your perception of what married life is all about and their own expectations, Replace the "me" with "we" and everything will run much smoother.
