The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 6 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. EDT today. (The New Moon occurs in Leo at 6:02 a.m. EDT.) At 10 a.m. EDT today, the Moon moves from Leo into Virgo.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today's New Moon encourages you to value your creative output. Do you think that only paid artists or so-called professionals are creative? Sadly, our society does not encourage daily singing, drawing, carving, weaving, or making Styrofoam mobiles.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is perhaps the best day of the year for you to make some resolutions about how to improve your home life; and also how to improve your relations with family members. There is always room for improvement. (Did you know that according to astrology Taurus makes the best parents?) You know how to provide.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're the wordsmith of the zodiac. Today is the only New Moon all year that encourages you to observe your style of communicating to others, so you can improve all your communications with everyone. Do people hear you? Do you hear them? (Can you hear me now?)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The New Moon today is a wonderful opportunity for you to scrutinize your relationship to money. Since your attitude to something affects how it occurs in your life - what do you think about money? Is it dirty or the root of all evil? Or is it energy?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is the best time all year to think about your appearance, the image you project to the world, and how you relate to partners and close friends. Think about how you can improve these very important areas in your life.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Recently, your ambitions have made you bold about going after what you want. However, at the same time, you have to have an inner development to have a balanced life. Think about this today.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is the best day of the year to consider your friendships with others. My father used to say if a person had one good friend in their life, perhaps two-- they were lucky. As a teenager, I thought that was absurd. Now I understand.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The New Moon today is the perfect day to think about your life direction in general. Are you headed in the direction you ultimately want to go? Where do you want to be 10 years from now? What have you got to do this year to start to get there?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Is there any further education or training or travel you can do to enhance your life or improve your career or your job? Consider this today. We should never stop learning. Plato said "Knowledge is the function of being."
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
One of the challenges of getting along with others is dealing with their values when their values don't agree with ours. Politics is a classic example! Today is your opportunity to appreciate how your rights shouldn't impede the rights of others and vice versa. Surely this is a sensible ethic.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today's New Moon is your best opportunity all year to think about how you can improve your relationships with partners and close friends. For a relationship to be successful you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
What can you do to improve your job, or the way you do your job, or your attitude to your job? Your job doesn't have to be a formal job that you're paid for. Your job is what you intend to get done today. Everybody has a job. Not everybody has a salary.
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actress Amy Adams (1974) shares your birthday today. You have a fabulous imagination. Many of you are multitalented. You're not afraid to push the sides of the envelope when you're experimenting with the arts or whatever you do. Although flamboyant, for the most part you are quiet and soft-spoken and low-key in your style. (You have a side that is secret.) In the year ahead, you have an important choice to make. Choose wisely.
