Gemini: It’s a new year full of human interactions to avoid.

Cancer: New year. New you? Let’s hope so.

Leo: You will enjoy a brush with fame this week when you meet your cousin's new boyfriend, whose band "almost opened for Candlebox" in 1993.

Virgo: New year, new you. There is literally a new version of you out there hunting you down. Good luck!

Libra: You will finally get everything you deserve this year, which is great news for your enemies.

Sagittarius: People will be much less impressed when they find out your story about beating the devil at the crossroads involves you playing Super Mario Brothers 3.

Capricorn: Your desire to travel may be awakened by a pack of pale wolves that surround your apartment complex. Now’s the time to finally check if that door in the laundry room connects to the old mineshaft. Hurry!!
