2025 Annual Forecasts are now available.
All Signs
On Monday we have the first Full Moon of the year, which occurs close to Mars retrograde, which is also in Cancer. This gives us an opportunity to resolve challenging family situations. It will fortify us with resolve and the courage to make things right. It means this year we can bring about slow and steady change to break free from domestic oppression. Meanwhile, romantic relationships might blow hot and cold this week; however, by the weekend, loving vibes will be the tenor of the day. In fact, on Saturday, lasting romance is promising! I read somewhere that studies show that people in the throes of romance wear different clothes. And I sort of see that. But actually, I thought they spent most of the time half naked.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This week the Sun is at the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you. Because this light is flattering, people might ask you to take on increased responsibilities or offer you a promotion because to them, you shine as competent and capable! Nevertheless, Monday's Full Moon will create tension between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your external world or your professional life. The good news is that with Jupiter in your House of Communications, you're optimistic and upbeat, which means you will handle things with a positive attitude. Meanwhile, many of you are having secret flirtations and love affairs, which is exciting. Others will see new ways to make money. If this happens, act quickly because this opportunity is brief.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You want to travel and get a change of scenery! Keep in mind that a change of scenery can take place by doing something different in your own city. Explore new restaurants, parks and antique shops. The bottom line is to shake up your daily routine. Be aware that the Full Moon on Monday could be an accident-prone time for you, so pay attention to everything you say and do. This week relations with friends and members of groups will be warm and rewarding. In fact, this is an ideal time to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone to get their feedback. It's also a good week to study and learn something new. (I'm exploring ways to eat sweet potatoes because, they're a Blue Zone food.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Keep an eye on your possessions and your money because Monday's Full Moon will agitate both your Money Houses. You might have to settle some financial affairs, including debts with others or credit card companies. You might have to resolve how to deal with shared responsibilities. You might also deal with differing value systems. Whatever the case, you will do this with skill because with Venus at the top of your chart, your relations with authority figures are excellent. In fact, this placement of Venus might trigger a new romance with someone older or someone who is more established or like a mentor to you. (The best labour-saving device is marrying rich.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a tricky time for you because the Moon is your ruler; and on Monday the first Full Moon of the year takes place in your sign. The energy of every Full Moon lasts for about 48 hours, so you'll feel this heightened energy leading up to Monday and into Tuesday. The best way to handle this is to be patient with close friends, partners and spouses because this is where you will feel increased tension. But first, relax and be more patient with yourself. Mars retrograde is taking place in your sign, which might create demands on you that are frustrating. You might expect others to help you, and feel disappointed if they don't come through. Keep in mind this is temporary and things will look better by the end of the week. Definitely.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might feel stressed about health issues or staying on top of the demands of your job due to Monday's Full Moon. Some of you might also have increased concerns about a pet. With every Full Moon, our problems seem to get worse as we approach the Full Moon; and then after the it peaks, these same problems inexplicably disappear. Go figure. Keep this in mind if you feel at loose ends at the beginning of the week. Meanwhile, financial matters are looking good right now. In fact, money and help from others can come your way. You can accomplish a lot in terms of small successes, day by day. "Okay, I'm dressed."
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Virgo parents will have to be patient because this first Full Moon of the year might create tension with your kids. Perhaps you're ready to turn over a new leaf, which means everyone has to clean up their act? But maybe your personal resolve is not shared by others? Be smart. Lighten up and be happy for small successes. Baby steps. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and I hear they're still working on it. Fortunately, relations with partners and spouses are warm and mutually rewarding. However, be vigilant because this is an accident-prone time for your kids. Be supportive. Everything takes time.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
As you read this, you might be experiencing tension with family members because the Full Moon on Monday could create a tug-of-war between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your external world. Furthermore, something unexpected or surprising might take place at home or within the family. Actually, this is a good time to pause and reassess your motivation and direction in life. Refine your career goals instead of starting new ventures. Be patient with authority figures. Don't overwork or push yourself too hard. Fortunately, coworkers are supportive and things at work are flowing well. And there's always lunch hour - when truth is stranger than fiction.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone time for you because of the Full Moon. Obviously, an accident doesn't have to happen, but this energy could distract you because it hypes your emotions as well as the feelings of everyone else. For example, it can trigger arguments and outbursts with others. Slow down and take it easy. Meanwhile, this week will bring you many opportunities to socialize and enjoy sports events, fun activities with kids and romantic outings. You might want to rethink some travel plans and do something less ambitious. You might choose to visit some place you've been before.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Many of you are concerned with financial matters right now as well as dealing with your possessions and property because Monday's Full Moon vibrates across both your Money Houses, which will cause something to come to a climax - or hopefully, a resolution. Nevertheless, keep an eye on your belongings and your money because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, you'll enjoy redecorating your digs and making things more attractive or interesting. You might entertain to show someone your clever ideas. "I made this mobile out of champagne corks and beer cans."
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The first Full Moon of this year is opposite your sign, which means you will feel it. More specifically, you might feel tension with spouses and partners - even members of the general public. You might do something impulsively or react to a provocation without thinking. Be careful. Avoid doing or saying something you might later regret because you value your good reputation in the eyes of others. However, this Full Moon could also lead to a better understanding of your closest relationships. It might curb negative behaviour and encourage building a healthier more supportive bond with someone as this year wears on. With Venus in your House of Communications, you are understanding, patient, diplomatic and charming. (That's a bonus.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The first Full Moon of the year on Monday is tricky for your sign because it could stir up feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. It might also trigger misunderstandings and tension with work colleagues. Remember that the antidote to anger is patience. Resist the urge to lash out or have a biting retort to someone because you might later regret it. Think of your long-term objective. You have to work with these people on an ongoing basis. Basically, you want to do what's best for you, which is to survive in your job in the happiest way possible. Finances look good right now. Money might come to you. In turn, some of you are buying beautiful things for yourself and loved ones.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your relationships with friends or groups might be stressed now due to the energy of the Full Moon on Monday. (This tension might have started on Sunday and will last until late Tuesday.) It could be triggered by something unexpected. Perhaps a friend will say or do something that catches you off guard? Or someone new and different might enter the picture? This might create problems with romantic partners as well as your kids. One saving grace is that fair Venus is in your sign now, and Venus always pacifies and charms most situations. Venus will help you make peace with others and enjoy good times. A blessing!
