December 2007 Pet Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21)

This will be a year of good cheer for you and yours. Jupiter, a giving planet, is to thank for your zest for going for it, whatever it may be. Note: Don't hold back, Sag. Snag your pleasure and run (or slither, fly or swim) – do not walk away.

Animal and Human Relationships: On the other paw, new friendships may move into and out of your world like a whirlwind but you will find it all a safari-like adventure.

Health and Well-being: Spring may be a time your nervous system needs a boost. A pet specialist (vocalize yourself so your humans take you to one) may be in order and counting to 10 in animal-ese is a must-do instead of ruffling your feathers or having a hissy fit.

2007 Pet Tip: Resolve to confront others but with the craft of a mellow pussycat.

Animal-Loving Celebrity: Sagittarius Dick Clark-Dogs play a big role in this well-known celeb's life offstage.
