Aries
The first couple of months will feel like hard work, while your ruler Mars moves retrograde. It does suggest, that, as is your normal practice, you have been taking on and doing too much, and you are burning yourself out. Yes you are a fire-sign, but that does not mean, you have endless supplies of energy, it just means, that you thrive by activity, but there comes a point, when the activities take over and are running your life, leaving you with little choice or possibility for doing things for yourself. You must learn to say no, and set yourself fewer targets and manage the time you give to other people better. You will need more empty space in your life to allow yourself to come through and shine. Then you might find your creativity blossoming throughout the spring.
The best part of the summer could bring surprising events, new people coming into your life, who brings with them new ways of looking at the world and society. It could also set you on a rebellious path, maybe because you have learned the lesson earlier in the year, and now you decide that you do want time to do things just because you feel like it.
WORK AND MONEY
Actually things are lightening up on your workplace, and you don't have to take on as much responsibility, as you have been doing.
The coming years could see a major change in your focus and goals for your life, which could move you closer to, who you really are, and what is important for you. December could be an important crossing point for you, when unforeseen events could make you re-evaluate your life and make new choices.
FAMILY
Family is where you feel safe and relaxed. And that is all you need to remember, while the outside world can be challenging at times.
The children are wearing you out with endless demands on your time, and it is leaving no space for yourself to do, what you enjoy. You must put on the brakes and the situation will stabilise itself during March.
LOVE
Things are moving slowly in the love department at the beginning of the year. Maybe it feels like routines, and the spark seems missing. Do have some patience, as it improves later in the summer, and towards the autumn it will deepen and become very serious and lasting. For some people it could be the end of a relationship, that has become monotonous, and then later the beginning of a new love which will grow big, but that is far from the case for all Ariens, you just have to find the spark and try to do some things together, that you never did before.
The love burns bright in August, September and October with a Blue Moon in your sign. Passion can burn high by next winter.

Taurus
The year starts off with some great opportunities for you to go places and explore things. You could go travelling or start a new study or find employment within the laws and justice system or maybe a religious position. But firstly there is the opportunity for you to develop yourself, to find out more about yourself or some aspect of life that has your interest.
Later in January there is a dilemma between family and career, but if you see a way of joining your ambitions with the interests of someone from within the family, then that is the route to follow! Now if you are involved in a family company that would be the perfect combination.
WORK AND MONEY
You will need to get down digging; there is some hard work to be done, but it will build a foundation for future achievements.
Advancements are possible in January-February, but there is an unknown factor involved, so it could be in a different direction from what you expected. Areas involving healing and taking care of other people are favoured all this year, and you could make it your career.
FAMILY
The beginning of the year is not easy; somebody is taking everything the wrong way and making harmony impossible. This will be very tiring. It will shift in the early spring, when there will suddenly be lots of energy and good-will also for those jobs around the home, that we all need a bit of help with.
The summer promises good times with the kids.
LOVE
Your partner is moving around a lot, or wandering in his/her mind. You may have a job to keep up, but sometimes you should also let them follow their passion, and they will return happy and excited to see you. Keep a light hand on the reigns, and they will not notice, that you are leading.
End of August till October is the best period for love to blossom, but then you will be looking backwards in time to someone, you should have been taking care of, and maybe it is time to live up to that role now, before you can truly settle into your relationship and future.
Also you have the chance of passion in December.

Gemini
You could have some fascinating experiences at the beginning of the year, something out of the ordinary, which will make you feel good about yourself. It is also a good time to draw on the inspiration for something artistic.
Something is not working out to your advantage around the time of Winter Solstice. While you are out with your friends or having your attention on your partner, somebody else is taking off with something of yours, or something that should have been yours. The loss may be recovered around the New Year.
WORK AND MONEY
You will have good opportunities for progress on your chosen field for the first half of the year, but then things slow down and it seems, you have to retrieve something, which was left out or left behind, maybe in your haste to do everything here and now. By the end of the year it could all come together for you, if you have made the right decisions.
Be careful not to make the wrong financial moves in late June, as your judgement could be clouded by emotions, and some people have made their homework better than you. Better not to make any decisions at all till late July.
FAMILY
Family times seem less troubled this year; there are less burdens than before, except for a period in the summer, where it is still the voices of the past calling on you to take care of some unfinished business.
However the children do not make it too easy for you in the first quarter, they still cause you to worry. You will have better times with them in the latter part of the year, and they will mature in the meantime.
LOVE
In March there is a meeting of great minds, but it might be more of a business relationship than a personal one, but maybe something else can develop from here. In July you will meet important people at big events, festival time, but it could also be more serious venues, where people of similar visions come together to share or learn from each other. In October could be a romance, that does not last into a strong relationship, it looks more like two people on an opposite course briefly meeting at a midpoint. But in November you might get a surprise that turns out to bring passionate times as the nights grow long and deep. By the Solstice you will feel unable to talk to your partner and it may be in crisis, but there is renewal at the New Year, and you will move forwards with confidence.

Cancer
The biggest challenges this year will come from the opposition, people around you, friends and enemies and even partners. There is something quite uncontrollable about events these years, issues are going to work their way up from the subconscious or the hidden and hit you with no warning. This is not always negative, it could be extremely positive, if it is secrets, that needs out and dealing with, or just the knowing them resolves any problems, but of course there is the possibility of something feeling hurtful in the moment. The keywords here will be: do some tidying up in your friendships, there will be some people around you, that you just have nothing in common with any more, and there is no point in pursuing the connections any longer. Especially towards the end of the year you will find, that it becomes pressing to move on and create new surroundings for yourself, and as such there will also be new people entering your life, whether for short times or for longer, but they will be the kind of people, that will help you develop the newer sides of you.
WORK AND MONEY
Work could involve foreign connections, travelling or trading, and the exploration of foreign cultures or philosophy.
There is not enough money to pay for your ambitions or plans, but in April and May the finances will improve, so that would be the time to invest in any business plans or hopes for the future. However beginning of June is risky for any financial dealings, there are no clear messages here.
By the end of the year you have a lot of energy and clear purpose to work towards your goals, work and ambitions come together.
FAMILY
Family feels more like weighing you down at the moment; you do not seem to find great joy there. Especially April and again July seem to bring a conflict between your needs for breaking free and rebelling against the constraints imposed on you from your childhood. This would be a good time to consciously deal with this with the help from someone, who is not emotionally involved. In the longer term, it is about seeing the beauty in family-life, also if it makes you do things, you would otherwise not, because common activities strengthens the bond between people and builds up relationships.
LOVE
There is both love and passion for you this year, but as mentioned earlier, there is some tidying up to do, maybe the nature of the relationship needs changing, maybe the people in the relationship? There is the possibility of your lover moving in and setting up home or a real serious relationship.
Passion could explode in September, and your relationship could move on to new dimensions - or simply a new relationship - by November, either way it will be a move forwards towards what is deep and real for you.

Leo
Somebody is returning from foreign lands at the beginning of the year, could be a family member, and they want to involve themselves in your life and get to know you better. There are things about your family and origins, you don't know enough about, and this is the opportunity to learn more and to come to a greater understanding of the trends running down through the family lines, and what is your true inheritance, not in the form of money or objects, but the genetic inheritance and maybe the philosophy and life purpose shown throughout the ages.
In April and May there are still connections abroad, now maybe you will now be travelling yourself, possibly with siblings. But in early June there are hidden complications and travel arrangements would not turn out to your advantage.
WORK AND MONEY
End of April beginning of May could see progress in work or business; ambitions are high and helped by 'destiny'.
Money is simply something you work to accumulate, but April, May will be real hard work, uphill, so pace yourself and do not get tempted to spring your money on some crazy idea, especially not to impress a possible partner, and not to show some kind of rebellion either, you will regret the loss. Soon after finances will stabilise again, and you can now make much better decisions about how and where to use them.
FAMILY
The best family time will be in the autumn, and you may even take time away from work to spend more time at home and taking care of things, that has been waiting for a while. And you will make some deep connections with your children, when you involve them in the family activities and secrets. You must also have fun together.
LOVE
There is something really beautiful happening in your relationship in the beginning of the year, it may not be that obvious at first, but it has more meaning than any big gestures. Love, compassion and healing are all in the offering. There is the possibility of building up a deep-seated link between you and your lover, reaching levels of consciousness that you did not know, you had. You will not need to speak, you will know.
The end of the year is a time, when you can play with passion and excitement.

Virgo
There continues to be something unpredictable about people around you, which is real difficult for your nature to accept. People do not change opinion or direction to upset your life, they just do, but you organise things around you so well, that any change will complicate your world. This may reach a point of serious frustration and annoyance to you around the beginning of June, but if you can see it as nothing to do with you really, then you will see, how soon it passes, and how much easier relationships becomes.
WORK AND MONEY
In February you make progress at work, and you may start to enjoy yourself more in doing so, feeling more at ease with your surroundings. You may also meet fascinating people through your work.
June is a good time for reaching your goals and ambitions, but earning the money is hard work at that time. It is possible, that you take a momentary pay-cut in order to obtain a job or move in some other direction, which suits you better.
In the autumn finances will stabilise for you, and you can begin to build up for the future.
FAMILY
There are meetings with the family in March, most likely not at your place, but it could involve friends and a big get-together.
November is the time to go visit with family back home, though some family members are not in the right frame of mind, withholding something, maybe just using their time somewhere else. Come December you will need to go back and speak to them again, because some information has not seen the light of day, and you will need to make them open up and reveal something, that affected your childhood and therefore your ability to nurture children yourself. The beginning of the following year is the time to work with and resolve these issues once and for all. It will set you free to enjoy life in full, and as passion will flow through your veins, creativity will blossom for you.
LOVE
As with all people around you, any love of yours will seem impossible to pin down. And they are. If you let them fly free, they may come back and show you more affection than before. March is good for love but hardly stable. On the other hand it could be an exciting journey just to see, what happened. If you are single, you could meet someone now, who would be really good for you; but it may not be the person, you expect, nor may he/she be, how you would prefer your partner to be. But really, because you follow such planned paths in your daily life, for a good relationship you need the challenge of someone, who will take you to places, you never thought of going.

Libra
Things seem to slow down around you, now that Saturn enters your sign seriously from late July. This will be a period, where you will learn to take longer time doing, what needs doing, and getting things done in the right order, always start with the foundations and the building blocks, also if the decorating and colourful creations are much more fun. This can feel a bit heavy for a light-hearted Libra, but it is meant to teach you the value of proper progress, and the end result is always worth the wait.
WORK AND MONEY
February is excellent for issues around work and there could be a better job for you or advancement in the one, you have got.
In late May you seem to want to be doing something, which is not furthering your goals at all, though you might think so. Maybe you need to re-evaluate, what goals are really beneficial to you.
FAMILY
You will feel a real fine contact to your children in early February.
The family appear rather grumpy at the beginning of the year, and you may have a job getting anything positive out of them. Truth is, that they are unhappy about their lot, they are not obtaining their dreams or goals, and it makes them difficult to work with, while they work it out for themselves. But maybe you also need a while to ponder about, how you can better support them in their endeavours, or comfort them in their frustrations. Don't push it for now; just let things rest. By the summer you will get on much better, they will have resolved their problems, and you will all see, how you can be together in harmony and enjoy each others company.
LOVE
Watch out for infatuations in February, it will not be anything serious.
In March you feel romantic and go looking for love. If you are in a relationship, then you may go looking for new ways of keeping your love hot and vibrant. And there are many new and exciting impulses waiting for you. There may be a meeting with someone enthusiastic and very lively, and if so, it could be full speed ahead.
In August you will realise, that true love is right under your nose, and real relationships can be formed, and again in October, when you will see what gem this person actually is.

Scorpio
These coming years will be about learning to communicate; how to express yourself in a way, which will allow other people to understand you better. You will have to be more open about yourself and your feelings, and this does not come easy to you. You can choose to work with it, or to oppose it, but if you oppose it, you will be confronted with it time and time again, and sometimes in not so pleasant ways. The eruption of a volcano comes to mind as a possible result of the challenges that you are likely to meet. However a growing openness and respect for the way, others think and feel, will benefit you in the future, and with that mastered, you will stand a better chance of actually obtaining the results, you so badly wish for. You have high goals, but as long as you continue to upset people through your verbal outburst, you will not get there. There is so much to be gained, and great opportunity to do so by the end of the year!
WORK AND MONEY
Things at work have got stuck for you at the moment if not moving backwards. You need to take your whole philosophy and life purpose up to revision, before you can move forward with the full strength of your convictions. And this you can do. You have to approach the matter in a different way, and indeed express yourself with more respect for others, and you will win great progress in late spring.
You will have financial gains in November.
FAMILY
Home is your place of recharging yourself. But somebody in the family is silently blaming you for not living up to expectations, or what they see as necessary for your life, and this stifles you in feeling able to move on and freely be, who you are. This will be evident in January and in August, but in August you will have to deal with it, or it will make you so angry, it will spill over into everything else, you are doing, and eventually it will hurt yourself. There is an other way.
LOVE
The seed of love will be sown in August. There is a secret love, which you will carry for a bit, before revealing it to the world and to the chosen. You may take so long telling, that the beloved might start to move away, but as you become more direct with your feelings during the autumn, the other person will come back to get to know you even better, and October will be the time to fully enter into a relationship.
If you are already with a partner, then this is the time to quietly reflect on your relationship, and it will grow deeper while doing so, until by October you will be able to express it to your beloved, and you will have the most beautiful time together.

Sagittarius
January is still about making the right connections and communicating with people from different areas of life, till you find the right people for your future.
During the summer months you show signs of strong creativity and inspiration, so that is the time to let yourself off the hook of many duties and just play along with your ideas. And there should also be time to just have fun.
WORK AND MONEY
Work is going well during the spring, if a bit step-by-step, and not quite as fast as your temper. August could be the time to pursue your real goals, but there is a conflict with your need for fun and freedom, so you may not have the concentration to get far at this point.
You have the ability to make much and spend much money these years. It is not all in your control. Things can get really difficult in February and again in August, if you do not hold back on your spending.
FAMILY
A big part of the year puts the focus on your family and home. Maybe you feel more drawn to your family than you have done for a while. Maybe there are things that need sorting. Mostly it looks like a nice retreat from your busy and somewhat stressed life, as a true Sagittarian you often take on too many things at any one time. But there are good reasons to talk more with your family members and to consider, how you all have a role to play in each other’s lives, especially during the autumn. However it is in February there is a strong indication of needing to go home and be more attentive to these relationships, but also an opportunity to combine your group activities with the family activities and make some changes, so that the two are if not combined, then at least connected. Maybe your family would actually like to be more involved in your activities, though you may think, it is not their kind of interests. You could be surprised.
You should leave the work behind for a bit and spend time with your children over the summer.
LOVE
Love is burning bright in March, and you will have the best times together at home.
There is a strong spark of passion in June, whether with an existing relationship or with a new love, that you may meet then, and also October shows good indications.
|
 |
Capricorn
There is a purpose with your life, and for that you may travel back to a place, you have been before, in the first part of the year, to retrieve something, maybe a memory of something lost, maybe an object that used to be yours, but which got left with a neighbour, or maybe simply to reconnect with a feeling, a kind of life-philosophy, that you had, when you were young, but has got worn out with the daily grind of modern life. From August you will not only be back, but also ready to integrate, what you found, into your present life.
You will have some experiences quite outside your control, which you hate, but this is to teach you about the emotions of other people and how to acknowledge these different ways of approaching life. In November you can make a shift in your way of looking at it and grow from the experiences.
WORK AND MONEY
You are starting a couple of years when focus will be on work and career, while the planet Saturn moves through your house of goals and purpose, and the sooner you focus on the task at hand, the sooner it will flow in the right direction. Other people can bring in challenging obstacles, as they mixes emotions with business, something you would never do.
Income from trade is unstable in April.
By August things will go real well for you at work or even more, if you have your own business and working for a long-term goal.
FAMILY
The family members are not very responsive to you in the beginning of the year. They keep themselves to themselves, and may be keeping secrets too. Attempts of talking with them may be met with angry outbursts. They need to sort this out for themselves, and they will do so and become more positive as spring turns into summer. And the summer could bring some surprises to the family, maybe there is a gift so far unrecognised.
LOVE
Love is staying with the known and familiar. Complications can come form involvement in groups outside the family or from you spending too much time and energy on your work and ambitions and neglecting the partner, but you can resolve that easily.
In July is a Solar Eclipse in your house of partnership, and this will be the biggest challenge, as raw emotions may erupt, and things are not always what they seem. You often appear distant in nature, and this is difficult for an emotional partner to understand. Try and meet them halfway and reassure them, that you are there, when it is really needed. If you can calm the waters, love will soon return to its gently lull.
|
 |
Aquarius
You too need to go back and revisit something or someone from the past; there are secrets hidden from sight, maybe even forgotten, till you start digging them up. But it is not time to fly off on your dreams until you have addressed your unfinished business. So collect the pieces like a jigsaw and start analysing them, till you can put them all into their rightful places. By the summer, things will become clear, and in August you can face any complication head on, now that you know, what it is all about, and by the autumn you can put it all behind you and enjoy the freedom, that knowledge and a firm ballast can give.
August is a good time to travel, if there is a purpose with that journey, that could also be something with the family, however September and November are the best times for relaxing holydays.
WORK AND MONEY
At the moment you feel best doing something, you are used to and know inside out. It is not the time in your life to jump into new things, there are no benefits gained, and you will not feel comfortable. You may feel burned out and wanting to throw it all in around mid-July, but the advice is to stay with it, take an extra day off, if you need to, but do not act in haste, you are better off staying where you are, and make the changes and use that energy somewhere else in your life.
During the autumn you will be well focused on your long-term goals, and can make moves towards a different work, but don’t burn your bridges just yet.
In May you are advised not to spend any more money than necessary. Hold on to what you have got, and do not be surprised, if there is less coming in than usual. You have to do a bit of serious work to get it back up on track, but it will improve over the summer.
FAMILY
Family and home seem stable and where it is expected to be; there are no big surprises here. Best times are in the beginning of January, March and November.
In October there is a possibility of combining home-life and family with your career or to achieve a common goal.
LOVE
Your partner seems to be starting the year on the wrong foot; he/she is not happy especially not around Imbolc (1st of February); the best thing, you can do, is to be there and offer support. The mood will turn during March, maybe there was just a need for more sunshine to lift spirits, and you will feel like you have been given a new gift of warm feelings. In late July you will again have warm and romantic times.
|
 |
Pisces
Take time out to retreat and nourish yourself in the first couple of weeks of the year, because the rest of the year will be full speed ahead. Jupiter, your old ruler, will be entering the sign of Pisces on the 18th of January, which will bring with it a very positive, energetic period with many opportunities. In the autumn is a slowing down of events, and you may even feel rather exhausted and fed up. Your need for withdrawal is never far away, and you may choose to do so for a while. But in November and December your energies will grow again and you will feel great and go back to the busy lifestyle.
WORK AND MONEY
The best period for work-related progress is February-March. The ball is in your court, and you can make changes or decide to aim for advancements where you are. November is also a good time for your job and career.
You are not earning so much money in the beginning of the year, as you had hoped, but from March this could change. June and July could be very fruitful, but again in late summer is there reason to show restraint around your finances, but not for long.
FAMILY
Family-life is much up and down as most times, never a dull moment. The best family moments will be during February and March, and children will bring you joy over the same period. July is a good time to spend with some good old-fashioned games and fun with the kids, and be ready to help them, if they find the middle of the month difficult, there are emotional things bobbling in their mind, and they may just need to talk about it or find their own way through the wobbles.
LOVE
There are very romantic times for you in February and March, when your beloved will be very warm towards you and do much to make your life happy and good.
In July you should be careful not to be drawn into the emotions around a memory of past love, it feels warm and well-known, therefore you think, maybe it should be the right partner for you, however it is not real! It is just the faint reflection of something, that was beautiful once, but is no longer alive, and to follow that feeling could destroy something very precious, that you have now in your real life. And in August you may actually have to spend some time taking special care of your relationship, your partner may feel a bit neglected and need reassurance. By October everything is sweet again, and November could be the choice for a romantic holyday.
