The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
In the next three years, as Jupiter moves through Leo, Virgo, and Libra, it touches Pluto in most of us. For example: those born in 1938-1958 have Pluto in Leo. Those born in 1958-1972 have Pluto in Virgo. And those born in 1972- 1984 have Pluto in Libra. As Jupiter moves through these signs, it amplifies Pluto's power. It actually gives you an extra boost of might and energy to achieve your aims. Not only will you feel powerful - you'll cross paths with powerful people. ("Hi Darth.") This month Jupiter boosts the energy of those born in 1943 - 45. This surge of power occurs every twelve years. (And here you thought you were just sitting around doing nothing except getting dusty. Not so Monsieur le Pussycat!)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You go through life on roller blades. You're fast and quick. Now we see you -- now we don't. (You're like Gemini without the pixie dust.) A word of caution to you rambunctious natives -- it's very easy to get into financial hot water this week. The scene goes like this: You make big plans connected with vacations, parties, romance, the arts and entertainment. (Ditto for financial speculation.) Within hours, these happy "wants" grow into "demands" and "must haves at all costs". Yikes! This is where the plot sickens. By Sunday, self-delusion, denial, and fuzzy thinking have you buying recreational swampland in Timbuktu. Not good. (Be verrry careful.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Big, optimistic plans about real estate, your home, or family related activities look promising and rosy. (Remember: You are a country squire at heart.) As these plans take shape, you have an increased desire to impress a friend or a group. Perhaps you will show off a new possession? Perhaps you've promised everybody brunch on the farm. By the time the weekend rolls around, you realize that you don't even own a farm. Now confusion, misunderstanding (especially with parents and important people) and possible misrepresentation in business deals (ouch) are rampant. And you're innocent! You just wanted to do things in a big way to help everybody out. Oops.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're a thinker and a talker. (Oh yeah.) Eastern sages and many Westerners maintain, "Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think." As such, positive thinking is a good thing. But there is a difference between positive thinking and wishful thinking. This week your wishful thinking might trip you up. Be careful you do not promise more than you can deliver. If you do, you might become obsessed trying to backup what you said. This is the beginning of the classic slippery slope. You could end up trying to shore up your weak position with vague feel-good references to philosophy, religion or politics. But it ain't gonna fool anyone.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
It's a good thing you're careful with your money. (But you're not always careful. I used to date an outrageously, extravagant Cancer. What a lot of fun.) You can definitely go overboard on something into financial way right now. It might be that you spend too much money trying to buy something, or you invest too much money (unwisely), or you lend too much money, or you borrow too much money. No matter what the plot, the story has the same sad ending. Ironically, it could be connected to your desire to make improvements to your health or your work. Each and every one of us can get blindsided buy some crazy ideas. Oy vay. (Listen to your tummy. If it doesn't feel good -- don't do it.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You love the grand gesture. (Actually, you invented the grand gesture.) Unfortunately, people expect this sort of thing from you now. Naturally, you feel obligated to deliver. Be careful you don't make grandiose promises to parents, bosses and Presidents of small countries. These so-called promises could include marriage proposals. (Yes, the M word!) It's just that you feel practically obsessive about romance, the arts and issues related to children right now. Your passionate feelings could induce you to make promises or statements that lack relevance and maybe even -- dare we say? -- common sense. You don't want to get left holding the bag. And you certainly don't want egg on your face. (Not without Hollandaise.) Go gently.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and it is temporarily under assault by mixing with the wrong crowd. Everybody's thinking is a bit haywire at the moment -- and you might feel it more than most. Fortunately, it is short-lived. However, beware lofty philosophical, religious and political ideas that suddenly grab you by the throat. You're tempted to make big assertions to win arguments and convince others of your POV. It could make discussions with partners and close friends very passionate and intense. But this really could just be a lot of hot air. Hard to say. If others accuse you of being out to lunch -- at least consider what they have to say. (Apparently, meaningless statistics are up 2.54 percent.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Refrain from making plans and agreeing to things with friends and groups right now. Even though it might be something you want very much to do -- it could all come to nothing. You are particularly vulnerable with respect to romance, your children, and sharing joint property and resources. Ironically, even careful research could be due to mistaken conclusions. (You don't want to be left out on the line to dry.) If you want to help others now, especially those in need, verify your facts first. Make sure you know what you're doing. You don't want to be an advocate of (true word) "schlimmbesserung" -- an improvement that makes things worse.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are certainly nobody's fool. You have a deep, penetrating mind. Furthermore, you will research any subject that interests you to the last word. (That's why you often have it.) Right now however, you could be misled or deceived by others or even your own optimism or unfounded confidence about something. You certainly want to get your way with respect to children, romance, vacations, entertaining diversions and the arts. You believe you're right. This can be dangerous. Winston Churchill said, "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." Remember to stay flexible in your ideas -- especially your most passionate ones.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are an eternal optimist. (That's why some of you are so cynical at times.) Plans connected with the media, publishing, higher education, foreign travel and law look unbelievably rosy right now. Be suspicious! If you encounter passionate opposition from family members or opposition about real estate and family matters -- listen. It is very easy for you to succumb to pie-in-the-sky thinking right now. You want to think the best about someone or something and for that reason you also want to help. Be careful. There is such a thing is idiot compassion. Remember that true generosity is giving what is needed. (Not what you think is needed.) Do not believe something simply because you wish it to be true.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Be extremely careful with financial speculation right now. It's easy for you to go overboard thinking that you have a sure thing. This could be anything from a financial investment, a personal loan or gift, or a desire to help someone. Alternatively, you might want to buy something with someone else. Who can resist such an incredible deal! But do you have the facts? Is your thinking clear? It looks like you want very much to believe something; in fact, you want it so much you are convincing others it is true. But do you protest too much, methinks? You could be right on the money -- or not. Best to wait before you act. (On the other hand, sometimes fools rush in and get the best seats in the house.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Domestic discussions, talks with family members and exchanges with members of the public could be based on fuzzy thinking, wishing, and incorrect facts. ("War hath no fury like a non-combatant." -- Charles Edward Montague) Perhaps you fervently want to buy something. Or your ambition at work might become suddenly obsessive. Some of you are tempted to hold back information to avoid a confrontation. A variety of reasons contribute to confused thinking and poor negotiations right now. Forewarned is forearmed. If you think you're on thin ice, don't just skate faster - remove yourself from any area of potential weakness. This will save you later regrets.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Einstein (a fellow Pisces) attributed much of his success to his imagination. Financial issues plus buying and selling things concern you right now. But you might go overboard with matters related to work, your health or the government and large institutions. One of the reasons for your possible confusion is that you feel passionately intense about something right now. A parent, VIP or important person really pushes your buttons. As a result, your reaction might be swift and too hasty. This is one of those times when it's better to Save Energy -- Be Apathetic. (Just for now.)
