“Happy New Year and welcome to our fifth annual sun sign book list. Below you find the perfect book to guide each sign over the next six months. Find your book, then glance through the book recommendations for the other signs. See one that resonates or interests you as well? Take it as a sign and get that book, too.
This year we attract the most good fortune when we are sympathetic, charitable, and use our powers to save and accumulate, and comfort others. The more help we get to do that, the easier our job is--the true challenge is finding a balance."
~ Deborah
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) Happy Birthday! Independence versus relationships, self interest versus the common good, these are the themes for you this month, and this year(until July). You're a little restless, impulsive, determined to be an individual, determined to do things your own way even if a partnership might help you manifest and grow your plans sooner or easier. To help you strike a balance, we suggest reading the book, "Boundaries and Relationships: Knowing, Protecting and Enjoying the Self" by Charles Whitfield. It might provide you with a real plan to effectively balance self interests with partnerships, and keep everyone happy this year.
Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb. 19) Your ability to handle the details of work and health grows this year and you take on jobs too big for most mortals, so to support you and your good work as you climb up the career bean stalk, we recommend Malcolm Gladwell's new book, "David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants." Fortify your resolve to leap high office buildings in a single bound with case histories of others who did the same thing. Successfully. Find your joy in providing a service. Go ahead and get a new job, too, if you want one. This is the year to start right.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Kick back, relax! The first half of 2014 is the time to really enjoy your life, appreciate the good things, take a vacation, try out a new hobby or art project, be brilliantly artistic, hang with kids and explore new ways of having fun. But just to be sure you're having fun the right way, we have a book selection to guide you: "Enjoy the Ride: How to Experience the True Joy of Life" by Steve Gilliland. Gilliland researches success and finds it's rather more dependent on passion and enjoyment than our culture would have us think. Read this book and prepare for a fun year.
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) The next year zeros in on your domestic happiness. You're deep in the throes of establishing the very foundations of your life, your home, your family. Your sense of security and safety grows, so to aid you in solidifying domestic bliss, please grab a copy of the book, "Mind, Body, Home: Transform Your Life One Room at a Time" by Tisha Morris. Morris correlates every room in your house with its physical, mental or emotional counterpart in you. Her theory is that by being in tune with its energy, you can create positive changes in your life. Now's the time to try it out.
Taurus (Apr. 21-May-21)The next six months is all about your mind--expressing yourself, collecting ideas, speaking, writing, teaching, learning. You're able to really understand complicated subjects and explain them to others. But as smart as you are right now we still want you to be able to maximize your potential, so we recommend the book, "The 5 Elements of Effective Thinking" by Edward B. Burger. This book is full of practical and inspiring tricks for successful thinking, strategies for using your mind differently, and by revealing hidden opportunities you find all kinds of ways to become more successful.
Gemini (May 22-June 20) "Money makes the world go 'round..." And that's especially true for you Gemini's over the next six months. 2014 is a profitable and productive year for you, and any past money problems just may clear up if you use this time wisely. So, to get on with your year and get the most out of it, you should get Dave Ramsey's book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." Financial fitness is more than just developing a budget, and formulating a master life plan will make you feel rich and powerful.
Cancer(June 21-July 22) This is your year! The stars and planets align to deliver opportunities right to your doorstep in ways that will boggle your mind and make you feel like the luckiest person in Austin. It's said that good luck happens when 'preparation meets opportunity'. It's important that you become fully prepared, so you can just reach out and grab those opportunities. It could be as simple as taking charge and taking responsibility for the wonderfulness in your life, and often a good book on the subject helps us focus. Your guide could be, "Standing Accountable: Increase Your Success by Holding Yourself Responsible" by Scott Schwab.
Leo(July 23-Aug. 23) This is a time when you can rid yourself of self-destructive thoughts, deep-seated fears, ingrained tendencies and guilty feelings. You're able to connect with your subconscious mind, and The Universe asks you now to surrender some of your attachments, let go and embrace the unknown. Releasing control is necessary to building your faith. It's the work you're doing now, and we can recommend a great book to aid you in your quest for inner knowledge:"8 Minute Meditation: Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life." By meditation expert and bestselling Author Victor Davich. Step into the solitude of your own mind.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22) The lucky key word for you this year is "Networking". Reach beyond your usual personal circle. Keep your eyes open for increased opportunities, networking activities, friends and acquaintances, clubs and organizations--when doors open, joy and prosperity enters. But before you charge into 2014, we'd like to recommend that you study the book, "The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness" by John David Mann. This isn't a book about networking specifically, but a simple tool to help you make the most from each and every one of the myriad of interactions this year will bring you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your trajectory is on everyones mind right now: Your career path is awe-inspiring, your work ethic exemplary, and your success rate--well, we all want to be you you in 2014. This is no time to be shy. Maximize rewards by being direct, integrity-driven, and honest, and willingly put yourself in the limelight. So, to re-enforce your already powerful job presence, we would like to recommend the book, "Die Empty: Unleash Your Best Work Every Day" by Todd Henry. This is a simple, masterful manual, not just for having a fulfilling career, but for leading a fulfilling life.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) The saying, "Give, spend, and God will send" could be your mantra in 2014. Your powers of manifestation and regeneration are so strong right now that all you have to do is take just one step in the direction of your dreams and a flood of support pours in. This year you get the equivalent of a university education in spiritual awareness and alchemy, like the card "The Magician" in a Tarot Deck, you can turn lead into gold. That's why the first book you read this year should be, "Do You Quantum Think?: New Thinking That Will Rock Your World" by Dianne Collins.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Intimacy, passion, and relationships(especially if you share resources) take over your year like kudzu in Louisiana. Everything you do must contain elements of these things or they won't claim your attention. Even inheritances, insurance settlements and tax refunds seem a little passionate and mysterious. Who knew there was an actual guidebook for passionate feelings, but here it is: "Igniting Your True Purpose and Passion: A Businesslike Guide to Fulfill Your Professional Goals and Personal Dreams". Marketing executive and bestselling author Robert Michael Fried gives you a roadmap for work and your personal life. This year can take you to the next level. Metaphorically.
