CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As you begin the New Year, your sign is blessed with the presence of the Sun, Jupiter, and Mercury. Jupiter in Capricorn brings expansion into many areas of your life; and with Pluto entering Capricorn, you sense the life-cycle change that is fast approaching. This, then, is the time to break from old routines and usher in new ways of living. By letting go of control issues, you’re more aware of the flexibility inherent in the universe. Money and your financial situation is being highlighted, at least this takes your mind off romance for a while. In time you will come to be grateful that you have a relationship that is working out in a unusual way. You will consider making some improvements in your home, and or changing your domestic interior. Nothing like a cleaning of your house and changing your environment to pick you up. Your transportation may need a repair at this time. Some of you will receive information about a new job. Others will be in touch with an old friend who has just reappeared into you life. You will talk to family members on the telephone. You'll have a great sense of timing and will be in the right place at the right time. Passion is a great healing force when you recognize its value and importance. If you play it right, a wonderful romance could emerge; but go slow and don't expect anything from anybody, or you may be sorry.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Are you enjoying your work and living the life you want? If not, perhaps it’s time to explore new horizons. You’re on the verge of an important revelation, and your heart plays a key role in the fulfillment of your dreams. Romance tempts you – but love can blossom only if you are open to true intimacy. The healing of emotions, both old and new, is necessary for your growth in the year ahead. Your personal life is taking center stage, and supporting you into developing a personal sense of peace and harmony from within. Cooperation with others will work for the collective, and you have so much to give. If you can find the right group of people consider joining. It may feel like a rebirth is going on with you. Be still as much as possible and then it becomes evident to what needs to be done. Pay attention in all that you do and say! The highlight will be your commitment to make money, which will be a priority for the whole year. The astrological canopy will encourage cooperation, and the stars are asking you to fulfill your greatest needs at this time. Find the discipline to get your life in order and you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. You are about to enter a period of eternity that will bring recognition for your abilities. Meditate in warm-to-hot water! And remember, less is more!

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) The New Year starts with a positive energy that favors physical activity. By listening to your inner voice, you gain knowledge and wisdom. Uranus in Pisces provides an inspirational insight - and all you have to do is listen to your spirit speak. If your new year’s resolution is not reasonable and sustainable, then you should rethink what you want to accomplish. Moderation is the key to a happy life; and in a specific application of this principle, your drug intake should be limited to prescribed pharmaceutical amounts. Don't get into an argument, therefore stay clear of difficult people, you know who they are. This is a time for making yourself as quite as possible and introspective for understanding. It's time to reevaluate aspects of your life that aren't working for you. Consider making the necessary adjustments and flourish. What will make your dreams come true?  Walk before you run, or at least do yoga! You have an opportunity for a new relationship. Take the time to evaluate aspects of your life that don’t work. You will want to reconsider certain relationships that don't ring true. With intent and a strong will, you can make your dreams manifest! Are you in touch with your spiritual nature? Are you afraid to find the magic that speaks inside you? If you listen, you will hear yourself in the silence of nature itself. The ocean of your mind reminds you of the power and the mystery of what so few truly understand.

ARIES (Mar. 21-April 19) You want to have fun, so kick up your heels, but don't spend money unless you can afford it. You have a tendency this month not to be fully engaged with your work. You may also find yourself daydreaming of days gone bye, you need to snap-out of it. Make the most of what's in your life now! By paying attention to each task at hand you'll become more adept. You can be successful if you can get out of your own way and let it happen. A new relationship will be more spiritual than sensual, but it can work both ways, if you desire. You should be able to get a great deal of work done at this time. Your dreams speak to you about what is important, and you can benefit by listening and learning from your deeper self. It is a good time to help your financial situation by finding employment and/or saving instead of spending. You need to pay attention to your health. Yoga is a good approach to making yourself healthy and vibrant. If you resist the change that’s in the offing, you’ll quickly fall out of step with the flow of life. Family matters demand your attention, but you don’t have time to address them in a meaningful way. Important contacts are made concerning your involvement in a work project, but caution is warranted before you commit to any new endeavors. Life is a gift, and you show your appreciation when you lead by example. Love and forgiveness are replete with lessons to embrace wholeheartedly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Small changes bring significant growth in your life, and you have the support of Jupiter in Capricorn as you strive for emotional balance and moderation in actions taken. When you allow others to express their point of view, the unanticipated reward is clarification for your own life. The key is to be flexible and open to new ideas, which is not the same as passive surrender to those you disagree with. You find yourself in a disagreeable mood that will be unproductive for relationships. Watch your temper and put the emphasis on cleaning up your domestic space. You'll feel better if you're better organized. You want it and you want it now and that means your going to have to wait, be patient, which you can do. You have a great deal on your mind and you seem to be losing control. Control is not all that it's cracked up to be! Be your essences! You’ll be in a pensive mood and that will be unproductive for communications of any kind. You’ll be in a better frame of mind by paying attention to your sensual side. You also benefit a great deal if you can be better organized. Now is the time to exercise your ability to be patient. Don't be stubborn at the wrong time or you will come to regret it. You experience a year of change and transformation, so embrace it from within.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) With Mars retrograde in Gemini, you have ample work and communication opportunities. Diplomacy in all your interactions paves the way for future alliances. Inspiration abounds until the end of the month, and your chances for fruitful creativity are enhanced when you make decisions from the heart. Emotional insights into work, love, and your physical well-being bring wisdom. (And from the sublime to the mundane: driving with caution all but ensures your safety.) Traveling out of town and getting out is what you'd prefer at this time. This emphasis is on enjoying your family and friends. If you are overworked then take some time off. If you are feeling things aren’t moving fast enough, then you might have to wait for life to catch up. You’ll be in touch with new people who contribute to your well-being. Listen to your inner voice for guidance. Your preference is to have fun and exchange information. With the planets reflecting your inner self, you enjoy family and friends. Consider taking time off for yourself; it will make a difference in the way you feel. Listen to your intuition, as it will be right on target! Exercise with intent and make your body a spiritual example of the inner understanding that you possess. Life is about love and that is the most important thing to remember.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Over the coming months, hidden information is revealed that poses a challenge to your significant relationships. You’re overly sensitive for the foreseeable future, and emotional waves can only destroy the rhythm of the life that you’ve worked hard to establish. Mars in retrograde is teaching you about love and the ways to be true to yourself, but you are ready to re-evaluate your needs only when you have learned the lessons presented. Avoid conversations that are groundless and fraught with mistaken information. You could be spreading news that may not be true. Truth is the best friend anyone could ask for, but it can be hard to come by. Make sure you get some exercise and watch your eating habits; good food means good health. You'll want to get down to work and make money by doing good work. It is one of your secret passions, and now seems as good as anytime. The time is ripe for a new attitude. You'll be in a position to make your feelings known to those who need to hear what you have to say. Get some exercise; you may want to try walking, or, for a change of pace, running. Truth is the best friend that anyone could ask for. You will have to answer some of the doubts that you have about someone. Make your current flame feel special, with attention and affection. You feel with your heart and with your emotions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Current planetary oppositions are going to energize your personal life and bring emotions to the surface so buckle up it could be a bumpy ride. There could be a problem that needs your insight. Pay attention to your needs and keep it light and social, enjoy your friends. Pursue sensual delights; passion is calling! Also a good time to pay attention to your financial bills, and finances in general. Make room for more, by cutting away all the socially dead wood. You'll be in the mood to keep your thoughts to yourself. However, don't be surprised if you have an emotional outburst. It is good to express this side of yourself, but don't become melodramatic. You will have a meaningful conversation with your best friend, revealing your inner thoughts. You'll be surprised when you hear yourself speak from the heart to someone who hasn't been listening. Maintain your regular routines and stay alert. The New Year brings a fresh perspective to your personal and professional lives. Discretion is the key for ‘keeping your head above water.’ Domestic problems can appear out of the blue, and are best handled by the simple act of love. Although your choices can compromise the life you experience, they can also lead you to discover that guidance is available when balance in the heart is maintained.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Saturn is in Virgo for the coming years, bringing change and growth. This can be a challenging period that is best navigated with the compass of a loving heart. A relationship that is fun and supportive is even more so if you refrain from being harshly critical; after all, ‘as you judge, so shall you be judged.’ And you just may find that the door to true and sensual intimacy has been opened!  Love is about forgiveness and commitment. Spend time on cultivating a peace of mind with yoga or meditation, you'll find a contentment that awaits you. Don't be your own worst enemy, surrender and make a truce with yourself. Get plenty of sleep, perchance to dream! Your on the right path but be patient with your personal growth, it takes time to discover your hidden self. Work takes on a new meaning as you find your way within as well as without! Let others get upset, all you need to do is be gentle with yourself.

You have been going through many changes for the past several years, and good news will arrive in the next few weeks. You have to learn to speak the truth and you will not be afraid. Recognize that which you avoid! In fact, you're going to have second thoughts about many things, so don't make any decisions at this time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Enjoy life through relaxation and balance; and you won’t regret such a leisurely approach as a prelude to whatever lies ahead. Harmony in your life is created when you refuse to settle for anything less than what you want! This is a year that demands your money and attention, and conservative fiscal restraint pays dividends to those who are aware of their surroundings. The focus will be on friendships so make a phone call to someone you have been out of touch with for some time. Watch you temper, and beware of unexpected emotional confusion. Take a leisure walk and create private time for yourself. Stay positive! You can make it on your own! You have a tendency to give yourself away and there's little left for yourself. Striving for balance is a life long pursuit for Libra's. Meditation will help you in your life. The focus will be on the new people who come in to your life. You have the opportunity to make a brand new start, so make the most of it. Take time for a leisurely hot bath and meditate on stillness as your guide and teacher. You’re emotionally growing and that can be painful! The planets raise issues that you need to examine. Love is a beautiful reminder of what is important! Life is a gift from the mystery of your own being! Listen with your heart.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) Hidden emotions arise from the depths, revealing a profound insight about your future goals. Your examination of new vistas of self merely confirms what you already knew. Jupiter supports your ability to make decisions, so opportunities that come your way should not be ignored. And this extends to your personal life, where perhaps it’s now time to re-examine what you need and desire in your romantic relationship. Your starting to get busy again, but wait until next week for the big push. This month, you may find that a little provocation will expose your emotions. Take a behind the scenes approach and you will get more done, therefore, don't disturb deep waters. You're going to be in a passionate mood! Find an outlet and make the most of this creative phase. Perhaps music or dancing would be the right kind of medicine for you. Be aware that all that glitters is not what you think it is. Be careful when it comes to making decisions; if made too hastily, they could cost you. You'll feel your emotions exposed in unlikely situations. Your inner voice is a treasure of information, so listen carefully. You are intense and you can accomplish anything you want. Have an exquisite journey into your vastly infinite self and grasp the wisdom that you have acquired. Implement this knowledge with real results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) With Pluto completely leaving your sign by November, this is truly the beginning of a Happy New Year. The finality of this major life-changing cycle, which began in 1995, awakens emotions that have been buried deep inside for too long to remember. The secrets now exposed are exactly what you need to hear, and, conversely, are exactly what you need to let go of. Your personal growth over the next twelve months is contingent upon your ability to clearly communicate your needs and desires. This is going to be a mixed message kind of month. A curve ball is thrown your way and your attention will be on your immediate circumstance. Should I stay or should I go? Be prepared to make some decisions concerning a relationship. The tempo is starting to pickup. If you are uncertain about anything, don't make a decision. Wait until you are clear and centered, and then you'll be able to make a better choice for yourself. You’re feeling good about the choices that you've recently made. You are on the verge of a personal breakthrough, but make sure that you appreciate what you discover. You will need some time to sort out all the details. Relationships and communication will be the focus for the rest of the month. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Keep an upbeat mood and watch others be transformed. You are a healing force, and this needs to be clearly expressed.
