Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow.
So at the begining of this year I looked at my outlook for the year in my stars, and took the Luscher color test a few times through the year also, and here are the results.
I am off to take another test right now.
Love and Romance:
Someone serious and mysterious will hold a fascination for you as the year dawns. However, it is just after Easter that promises to be the most delightfully romantic, frisky few weeks. Prepare to fall in love with that special someone all over again, and if you are single and fancy free - get ready to be swept off your feet. The beginning of August and again in mid-November are fine times to plan a special celebration just for two. The flame of love burns brightly, so warm your heart.
Family and Home:
Family affairs are the mainstay of this coming year. From early June right through to New Year, taking care of home commitments and domestic matters should be your priority. If you are planning a get-together of you and yours, then what could be better than a welcoming July day catching up with all the latest news and gossip with your nearest and dearest? You will learn a lot more than you bargained for, as home truths are revealed.
Your Money:
Setting aside a wee bit extra for the future is an imperative monetary move for you throughout the year. From January until August, rely on your own special creativity and you’ll not go far wrong. You may even find that the odd speculative deals will pay off. September onwards needs more of a conservative approach in order to keep your coffers full and even overflowing. Try to be as practical and efficient as you can and the year will end on a prosperous note.
Your Character:
You're a hard worker, and you do your best not to let anyone know how just how smart you are. You avoid the spotlight - after all, you're afraid if you get too proud, it might jinx you. Because in spite of your talent and ability, you're jaded enough to be certain that something awful is just lurking around the corner. With a gift for detached sarcasm and a flair for the ironic, you could easily command the attention of a room, yet your inherent self-doubt often leaves you tongue-tied in spite of your verbal excellence. Your girl/boy-next-door charm makes you irresistible to the opposite sex… but they're likely to be your downfall. You can't bear to hurt anyone, and you tend to give into your fears of rejection by avoiding confrontation at all costs. Your lack of pretension and your natural beauty are your greatest strengths.
Bottom Line:
You're selfless, loyal, and creative. All of these are great qualities, but you might want to try to add honesty to your list of assets as you have a habit of letting it fall by the wayside when the going gets tough. And don't be so afraid of the unknown… some of the best parts of life are the surprises.
Character Defining Quote:
"I have so much conviction about waiting 'til the right moment. Not feeling guilty or obligated. And I don't and he's been great. But I still feel like this angry animal that's ready to bite off the head of anyone or anything that challenges my fragile sense of the universe."
