Aquarius Forecast for 2014
"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"
Dr. Seuss
To a Better Year Ahead!
Canada and the US will enjoy an improved financial climate this year as North America moves towards a more solid footing. Family life and especially the rights and care of children will also improve.
Last year Saturn entered Scorpio to stay until September 2015. This means Saturn is now being expressed in a Scorpio style - or to put it another way - the areas that are governed by Scorpio are the ones undergoing strong challenges.
The sign of Scorpio governs sex, secrets, espionage and spying, police detection and criminal activity as well as medicine, plumbing, manufacturing, nuclear fission, television, the military and everything related to death.
Meanwhile the planet Saturn governs all pyramid structures, especially rules and regulations and the government.
When Saturn was last in Scorpio in 1984-86, Indira Gandhi was assassinated, AIDS was discovered, Apple released the first MAC computer, Geraldine Ferraro was the first woman to run as a Vice President running mate, Nintendo was released, the Challenger exploded after take off, the Chernobyl disaster occurred and FOX network began. This same energy will pervade in 2014.
Small wonder we have press coverage about NSA spying on its own citizens as well as other countries, plus security leaks and whistle blowers like Edward Snowden. The year 2014 will continue to focus on crime, ruthless politics and overburdened medical systems, as well as exposing illegal surveillance of the public.
The real-estate market will continue to improve until summer, after which it might settle for awhile. From the summer of 2014 and beyond, we can expect improvements and more activity in the arts and the entertainment world. During this same time, there will be a wonderful boost to the hospitality industry, which is good news for restaurants, hotels, resorts and theme parks.
So it's a bad year for spies and a good year for stand-up comedy. Does this mean funny is out of the bag? No more hidden humour?
I agree with Margaret Mead who said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has."
But I also agree with George Carlin who said: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
Hello 2014!
In the last few years, you have changed how you relate to your everyday world, especially daily contacts and siblings. At a deeper level, you have intellectually and emotionally liberated yourself. You have given yourself permission to think and do what you want. In part, this is because your everyday mental attitudes are changing. (Even your daily habits.) And I'm sure you have noticed everyday casual conversations are not so casual! Even routine events seem important. You can't take anything for granted. Around 2009-2011, you lost some financial support from others, which forced you to stand on your own two feet. But following that, you have enjoyed vacations, light-hearted romance and playful times with children. Your health has improved along with your job, and the year ahead will mark a milestone for you when you are truly coming into your own. This is your hour. You've been working for it since 1999. Enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Mars Attacks!
An unusual journey of Mars will make 2014 an exciting year. Mars is usually in one sign for about six weeks every two years, but right now it is in one sign for eight months. Mama Mia! That is a lot of enduring energy hammering away in one area of your chart. This is why you'll be attracted to creative intellectual work and keen to explore philosophical, religious and political ideas. You'll want to discuss these ideas and share your point of view with others. You'll also expand your world through travel to new places and you might get further education or training in something. You want to go places! This strong energy will also open up avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law for you. Speaking of which, legal disputes are likely. You certainly will identify with your ideas in 2014.
Money - the Second Most Important Thing
This is your year. It's time to enter the hallowed chambers of achievement. Depending on where you are in your life, you will graduate, get married, have a child, get a major promotion or spin off into self-employment. That's because 2014 is a time of culmination where your cherished dreams will come true. What you have been doing since 2004 is now ripening. For most, this is your time of harvest. But for some, it will be a time of seeing what is not working. If this is the case, cut your losses and move on. Don't dwell on them. This is the year to get a better job description, nicer conditions at work, a promotion, a prize, acknowledgment, a scholarship, or you might land a new and better job. Or perhaps your evil boss will be transferred to Uzbekistan. Some of you experienced the beginning of this benefit last year, but all of you will experience this good fortune this year. Work-related travel is also likely. Whatever happens, the bottom line is your work will be more fulfilling and enjoyable. Even your health will improve, which of course helps your work, too. You're laughin'!
Love is Chemistry, Sex is Physics
Aquarians have all the luck this year. You improve your job, you improve your health and you enter a time of harvest where cherished dreams can come true. So who is surprised that relationships and your love life will get better than they've been in more than a decade? You have it made in the shade! In July, an 18-month window opens up that enhances and improves all partnerships and close friendships. This beneficial influence will be more favourable than it's been in 12 years. It creates a situation where you encounter people who will help you in many ways and, in turn, you will help them. Your relationships become a win/win experience. You will feel in step and in harmony with others. This is the best time to marry or enter into a partnership. New partnerships will be with someone older, more established or richer. You might also meet someone from a foreign country or a different culture. Naturally, this makes existing marriages and partnerships flourish in a wonderful positive way.
Home Suite Home
Often when one enjoys a time of harvest and success in their career and public reputation, things are good at home as well. However, this is not always the case. Certainly, your general health and well-being are positive for 2014, and this also bodes well for what is going on in your private life. Similarly, since you have the advantage in business opportunities, things look good for those who want to buy, sell or deal in real-estate matters. After the summer, your chances for success in many areas are excellent! In particular, a growth-oriented influence is at play, which means some of you might expand where you live, or buy for the first time, or buy a second home. This is an extremely productive influence that starts late in 2014 and continues into 2015. Yay!
A Sneak Peek beyond 2014
Your time of harvest will last for the next several years. This makes you feel you're on top of things and proud of your achievements. In the summer of 2015, an 18-month influence helps you benefit from the resources of others. Your partner might get a raise or a better job, or you might inherit. This is a good time to get a loan or mortgage. By 2017, travel opportunities abound. Enjoy these before a marvellous chance to promote your good name in 2018.
Your Aquarius Mantra for 2014
"What goes around comes around. I earned my good fortune and will act to guarantee good fortune in my future."
Mercury Retrograde in 2014
Expect delays, lost items and confused communications! Best to finish things, not begin them. These are poor times to buy cars, trucks, bikes, computers, printers and phones.
Dates below are actual retrograde dates and buffer dates. Why? Mercury slows down before it goes retrograde and, likewise, it takes a while to catch up to the degree it was at when it first went retrograde. Use buffer times for big purchases like cars.
| Actual Mercury Retrograde Dates | Buffered Dates (I use this one) |
|---|---|
| Feb. 6 - Feb. 28 | Feb. 2 - Mar. 20 |
| June 7 - July 1 | May 28 - July 16 |
