For Tuesday, Jan. 1:

This year you have a tendency to reminisce about days past. Often when you are like this, you come up with novel ideas. If you are single, you could meet someone quite exotic and different. If you are attached, the two of you finally might take that long-awaited and often-talked-about trip.
