Try to remain away from the maddening crowd during the last one.

Relatives or somebody close may pose a problem. You may be misunderstood, yet there may be truth in their criticism. Listen to what they say. At work, you will have to take the second place and as such may fail to force your will. Younger family members may be rebellious and a little patience may be necessary to deal with them. You will, however, have no worry about them after March.

But for a brief spell, when your expenditure gets out of control, the major part of the year will be trouble-free. You will get on surprisingly well with influential people who are ready to help you. Take precautions before doing anything impulsive. You will change your approach to problems and this will benefit you. The only risk is that you will wear yourself out more than usual. So smarten up your diet to keep fit.

You will, however, manage to come out of a crisis during the last one.
