You’ve got a spunky kind of spirit. You work hard for what you want, but you’re so good at it that you barely break a sweat. Challenges and obstacles don’t scare you — actually, they seem to empower you. Boredom is your enemy. You love anything that’s exciting, cutting edge or new. You feel your best when doing something outside the norm. You don’t follow the pack; You do your own thing, and you follow your own heart. This year, it’s all about creating more ease and balance in your life. No need to work harder than necessary.
