Smashing things up on a small scale is destined to bring you joy this month, especially using a pestle and mortar like in Science Class - go for a hard two handed thump down from above your head to start with, followed by a gentle grinding until your will is meted out.

Generalisations have never been better starred than in 2012, even the broadest ones look set to provide moments of apparent insight and informed opinion even you do not immediately realise. Just beware saying anything about Israel or North Korea as the planets are on the verge of giving up on those countries and you insult them at your own peril until the 17th of March.

2012 will be the year of unbelievable prosperity for all Aries especially if you include laughter, friendship and the stars in the sky in your calculations. (If you were thinking we were talking about money then it all depends how much you have at the end of 2011.)
