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 until 11:50 PM EDT today. ("Not again!") After that, the Moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is a tricky day and a poor one to spend money or make important decisions. (See above.) However, it's a wonderfully creative day! You're a very creative person and you love to do anything new, especially with your hands. (Go do that voodoo that you do so well.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Don't attempt to do too much today. Instead, enjoy the comfort of your own home and the good company of family. This is great day to re-decorate or make where you live look more attractive - and then - voila! Entertain! (People need to blow off a little steam.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Your day-to-day world has been frazzled with communications, misplaced items, lost paperwork, canceled appointments and silly delays (including transportation snafus). Try to relax and take a mental health day. Use this day to pull your act together.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a good day to think about your values. Do you know what your values are? Think about this. What are the three things that matter most? This is not a trivial question. It's the kind of thing that gives one pause. (Little furry ones.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The Sun, Venus and retrograde Mercury are all in Leo, which means it's a mixed bag. The Sun gives you energy and attracts people and fortunate circumstances to you. Venus makes you attractive and diplomatic. Retrograde Mercury of course will drive you nuts. Life is never perfect.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Everything is hidden right now. You're playing your cards very close to your heaving bosom. Perhaps you have secrets? Perhaps you're indulging in an illicit love affair? The positive spin on old this "hidden" stuff is research will be productive. ("I found the Lost Chord!")
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Reunions and get togethers with old friends are occurring for many of you right now. In a way, it's good to have history with others. (This is generally a good thing.) But right now is also an opportunity for closure and seeing things from someone else's point of view. (This takes a little maturity.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is actually the only time all year when the Sun is at the top of your chart, along with Venus and yes - retrograde Mercury. This gives you high viz. It also means authority figures are inclined to respect you more and do your bidding. Retrograde Mercury will use this advantage for "past contacts." Capice?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You love to travel. Not only that, many of you want to be traveling right now. (Yes!) Unfortunately, retrograde Mercury tends to block this. If you do travel, go someplace you've been before. Any Mercury retrograde time, however, is good for study and research, especially the study of history.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This continues to be an excellent time to wrap up red-tape details about insurance matters, inheritances, shared property, taxes and debt. Make the most of this. Clear up a lot of this paperwork. (You'll love yourself afterwards.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Relations with partners and close friends are frankly sweet. (Aren't they?) Even relations with ex-partners seem to be smoother than usual. (Go figure.) Use this favourable influence to enjoy time with others and to negotiate what you want. Others are obviously willing to listen. (Or at least, they look that way.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your work scene is picking up! Relations with co-workers are smooth and many of you are making more money. Admittedly, retrograde Mercury causes confusion, lost paperwork, delays and silly goof-ups, but the big picture looks pretty good. Even your health is improving. (Surely you've noticed.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Ian McDiarmid (1944) shares your birthday today. You have an inquiring mind and you're a truth seeker. This is why you are interested in your family roots and ethnic background. You believe that an understanding of the past can help an appreciation of the present. Your aim is to share this knowledge with others. Major change might take place in the year ahead, perhaps as significant as something around 2002-03.
