The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
Numbers are intriguing. (Astrology is based on mathematics.) For e.g. One billion seconds ago was 1959. One billion minutes ago, Jesus was alive. One billion hours ago we were in the Stone Age. Sounds like time goes by slowly. Duh - not! If you lived to be 77, you only had 924 months in your life! (This is criminal.) If you're 40 yrs. old now, (and you pop off at 77) you've got only 1909 weekends left! (And how many of them will be sunny?) The physicists are right. Time is an illusion. "Forget Jenny Craig! More whipped cream and fresh horses for my men!" (sigh) What to do? Einstein said, "Have the courage to take your own thoughts seriously, for they will shape you." (And so will the whipped cream.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This Full Moon puts a squeeze play on your domestic scene, especially if you live with your parents. You're trying to keep everybody happy at home and at the same time pretend that you actually have a life. (Is this asking too much? I think not.) The key to all this is not to get embroiled, involved, ensnared, enmeshed and entangled. Get out of this scene. Wear your hat at a serious angle and as you raise one eyebrow, introduce yourself to others. (Remember: Flirting is simply the art of making someone feel attractive.) The greatest Hollywood romantic icons are Aries archetypes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This particular Full Moon can introduce pressure and stress with siblings, neighbors and daily contacts. It doesn't have to, but if mild stress exists in these areas already, then they'll be magnified. Be comforted by the thought that by Tuesday, everything mellows out again. Physical activities with friends and groups can definitely be a source of pleasure now. Get out and enjoy nature because you love the natural beauty of the world. Discussions with relatives about family situations take place now. Possible job changes or residential moves might be the hot topic. Your energy is strong now, and will continue this way for the rest of the year. Yo!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Fine wordsmith that thou art, you know that incorrigible punsters are not to be incorriged. (But puns are irresistible -- like peanuts.) In any event, you feel particularly talkative, persuasive and -- dare we say erudite? -(we dare) this week. But one of the things you're concerned about is finances. Things are crunchy leading up to the Full Moon right now. You feel you don't have enough money to stretch over all your wants and needs. (Actually, you probably have enough if you never had to buy anything or pay rent.) Don't worry. After Sunday, your financial scene mellows considerably. This doesn't mean you have pots of cash. But you won't be worried about it.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is the only Full Moon all year that directly opposes your sign. (That's because every Full Moon is an opposition of the Sun and Moon, and right now the Sun is in Cancer. That's why it's your birthday month.) Naturally, this brings added stress to your closest relationships, partnerships and friendships. Your reaction might be to get pouty. That's because you pull in to your shell when you feel threatened. Actually, with the Sun, Venus and Saturn in your sign, you're holding all the cards. Since you have the advantage, you have to be more understanding and patient. Naturally, you also have to have a healthy self-interest. (Translation: I'm no chump.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A strong concentration of planets now activates your spiritual, private world. Some of the biggest things going on in your life are not obvious to others. It's taking place at an inner level, which is good because this is the most long-lasting and powerful change that you can experience. With Mercury now in Leo, you have a strong urge to talk to others. Your enthusiasm is contagious. In fact, you are almost pregnant with excitement. You feel the winds of change starting to blow through your life. (Nothing as harsh as winter which is nature's way of saying, "Up yours.")
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Virgo parents have to be extra patient with children now. It might appear that they are the source of your irritation. But irritation always begins within. It then finds something external to justify itself. When you're in a great mood you can laugh things off. The same dynamic applies to romantic relationships as well right now. So if you can't stand the snoring of your sweetie, keep this in mind. (Ear plugs help.) Get out and schmooze because socializing with friends is fun now. Any kind of group dynamic will give you a lift. You find it easy (and enjoyable) to relate to others. (But you still have to go home to your kids.) Oh yeah.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This Full Moon introduces the classic dilemma of how to find the right balance between the demands of your career and the demands of family and your personal life. (The movie theme of the '50s.) You might want to start counting how many weekends you have left! The realization of how fleeting your life is will galvanize you to discover an unseen world. (But can you get there by car and how late is it open?) Or at least to do something meaningful like block hats or fertilize the lawn. Your career focus is so strong for the next few years, you can take some time for family now. (Time flies when you're unconscious.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Picky arguments about political or religious subjects might leave you grinding your teeth. If so, you're getting sucked into the Full Moon energy right now. It doesn't have to happen. Of course, it's a good thing to have opinions. (Adolf Hitler said, "What luck for rulers that men do not think.") But you have to pick your fights. Let your philosophy of life be a guideline not a straitjacket. What is really happening now is that you are enormously attracted to learning more, especially about higher consciousness, religion, philosophy and what happened to all those missing socks in the dryer. (Is the answer as simple as "they've gone to sock heaven?") Surely not.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Don't get your belly in a rash about financial issues right now, especially shared property, the earnings (or not) of your partner, and how to spend a limited amount of money that is jointly owned. Tension and chaos at home have improved lately. (Now it's really chaotic.) This Full Moon is forcing you to face some kind of compromise with the values of somebody else. However, most of life is a compromise. We make deals in business, in relationships, with family members and ourselves. Ironically, making deals is your metier. You wrote the book. (Remember the dead actor who requested in his will that his body be cremated and 10 percent of his ashes thrown in his agent's face?)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is the only Full Moon in your sign all year. Are you up for it? This simply means that you might feel a bit stressed out about whose interests to put first -- your own or those of somebody else. In all likelihood, you will have to go more than half way to meet the demands of someone right now. After all, three planets oppose your sign at this time. And even though in the bigger picture, you're entering a very empowered year, this week you're not holding Four Aces. Always remember that your first loss is your cheapest loss. If you have to give up something, do it right away with grace. (Or Barbara.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The tension at work is starting to get to you. Malcolm Forbes said, "If you have a job without aggravations, you don't have a job." (But doesn't he have a really big yacht?) Nevertheless, you know that money is necessary to bribe yourself through the inconveniences of life. And above all, you're a realist. Unique, sometimes zany and off the wall -- but a realist. I know somebody who always says, "Suck it up, Princess." I'd never say that to you. I want to remind you that now and in the next five months, lucky Jupiter will continue to bring you people who will help you in every way. You can form and maintain all kinds of wonderful new partnerships. The cavalry's coming!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Relationships with lovers and contacts in the entertainment world or the hospitality industry are a bit dicey this week. Everything you thought might go wrong practically did. Parents might find this same dynamic taking place with their relationships with their children. It's important to keep in mind that you are much more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. This forces others to style flex in order to deal with your assertiveness. (You might not be aware of this.) With Mars in your sign, you don't want to bend to the wants of others. ("Let them eat cake!") Actually, Mars is giving you tremendous energy to accomplish a great deal. This can be an extremely positive time in your life.
