Resolution: Control Your Destiny (Or at Least Give it a Shot)
The future is unknown — but why not try to take a little peek? Whether it’s just for fun or you believe there’s something to all that new-age stargazing, have an astrological chart drawn up at the start of the year. Our prediction: you’ll take away some lessons, no matter what you believe.

Execution: Come January, plan on sitting down with Chris Petrakos, founder of Black Hat Astrology. We first learned about the local astrologer when we signed up for his weekly newsletter— who wouldn’t want horoscopes delivered alongside Diana Vreeland quotes?

Lucky for us, he can also give “year-ahead readings.” The $100 consultations are designed to give some insight on family, health, career — all that important stuff. Plus, Petrakos says that clients use the readings as “an opportunity to think about how to renew the best parts of themselves, and approach the time ahead with clarity, dedication, and energy.” Sounds pretty resolution-friendly to us.
