The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
The Sun opposes Uranus. The Full Moon is in Pisces. Pluto goes direct after being retrograde since March; and Mercury goes direct next Thursday. Can you hear me at the back? In a nutshell: you feel independent and rebellious! Feelings and emotions run high with Full Moon tension. Thankfully, daily communications and errors subside as Mercury ends its retrograde. But Plutonian events throw you into crisis mode with changes that are actually for the better. You're sweeping away the past, getting rid of deadwood and stuff that no longer works. You're letting go so that you can rebuild again. Summary: Your reality check is overdue but you're not out of cache. And you never will be.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're extremely hot to trot at work. You have definite ideas about how things should be done, and you're gung ho and keen to implement them. Plus you're working harder than anybody else! Unfortunately, the bozos around you don't comprehend your bright ideas and suggestions. This is frustrating. You're not sure whether to work harder or just walk. The urge to escape, especially to someplace far away and adventurous, is not only strong -- it actually looks feasible! Maybe you should listen to this compulsion. After all, you will improve your employment scene this year, but you might have to change jobs to do it. (Wait until September 2nd to act.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A kind of tension builds up now dealing with children, romantic partners, creative projects, vacations and the entertainment world. Basically, you just want to be able to do your own thing. You don't want anyone dictating how you should live your life. (Sounds reasonable.) Your newfound determination is based on a feeling of increased confidence due to the fact that you know you have the resources now to swing something! Red tape matters that were delayed, now finally free up cash, resources and support that you need to do the deal. This support is solid. You can move forward now without fear or apology.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're in the midst of lots of domestic upheaval. Feelings of rebellion either on your part or the part of another family member definitely stir the pot. Partnerships and close friendships are the source of big changes. As these changes play themselves out, avoid power struggles, especially with your 'enemy'. (These conflicts can be nasty and destructive.) Also resist the urge to attribute the bad stuff that's happening to you to other people. "Look what they're doing!" A lot of what's happening to you is triggered by your own subtle, unconscious impulses. This is your movie, your script, and you're the director and the star. Remember: a closed mouth gathers no foot.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You feel anxious about day-to-day events, dealing with siblings, short trips and communications with daily colleagues. Matters are definitely coming to a climax. You'll most likely feel this in your job. Things that were murky, sneaky, backstabbing and even illegal (Pluto rules crime) now surface and become crystal clear. It's Capture the Flag and you have it! You will make changes for the better in your job, possibly by changing your job completely. But you can do it. One thing is certain: you can't continue to live with tension with others where you work. Life is too short to do this to yourself. Avoid the nasty. "Trust the force, Luke."
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You've been walking a financial tightrope for some time now. Lots of money going out. Not enough money coming in. This is tough on your debt picture. In fact, your debt picture looks more like graffiti. The reason you're doing this is you want to achieve things and you don't want to compromise. Meanwhile, major changes are afoot with children. (Even if your kids are over 30.) Messy situations that have gone on for most of this year finally are defined one way or another. You see how the penny will drop. In a similar fashion, confusion about a love affair disappears. You've made up your mind. You feel like Mae West, "I've been things and done places."
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This Full Moon opposes you. The Sun/Uranus opposition electrifies partnerships and close friendships. ("I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!") As Pluto moves forward after six months of putting things on hold, you're going to make big changes at home and to your domestic scene. These changes involve getting rid of possessions, and things that are no longer relevant and useful in your life. You're lightening your load, baby! Anyhow, you can't carry this baggage around forever. These changes are overdue. It's just that now you finally have the courage to implement them. (If you want something you've never had -- you've gotta do something you've never done.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Unexpected breakthroughs -- even a kind of liberation -- can take place now when dealing with the government or large institutions. It's behind the scenes stuff, but at the end of the day, you'll have greater freedom of movement and action. What's really different now is the way you look at your everyday activities. You see things in a new light! In fact, even the most casual event can be fraught with significance. Things you took for granted with neighbors and relatives -- routine stuff -- are now up for grabs. You're re-examining everyday beliefs! You're going through a time of acute self-questioning and self-scrutiny. You take far less for granted. (This heightened level of awareness will trigger midnight junk food attacks.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You feel tension building up with children and lovers. Areas of your life that are normally playful and lighthearted are stressful right now. You might be on the outs with a friend. Or you might throw yourself wholeheartedly into group activities right now. (Especially physical sports.) Career matters that were dangling in the wind now are finalized. Some of you will look to new sources of income. At a deeper level, your views about physical property are changing. You see that because you have so little control over the material universe -- it's ridiculous to put so much stock in it. (Pun intended.) The only thing you really control is your reaction to the circus. Oh yeah....
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The celestial events taking place now probably hit your sign big time. Four planets are at high noon in your chart. Wild, wacky Uranus sits opposite them triggering changes in your residence, your career, and your relations with parents and bosses. Meanwhile, back in front of your bathroom mirror, you see changes taking place in your personality, your appearance and how you relate to those who are closest to you. There's a lot going on! Fortunately, your ambition and drive carry you through this very well. Some partnerships will completely change. If so, this is for the better. You're letting go of whatever you don't really need. Good. Freedom is a survival issue for you.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
One of the main things that's happening for your sign is you're undergoing a transformation to your belief system, your values and what you subscribe to at a conscious level as well as an unconscious one. Wow! These are changes that take place inside and out! Cool! Tension with foreign countries, publishing, universities, learning and training, plus the media trigger even deeper changes in your belief structure. What are you going to buy into? What will you cast aside? These are important considerations because you become your beliefs. You make choices based on them. Others judge you by your choices. Therefore, your reputation springs from what you believe in. Spooky. (If you want to be respected, you've got to believe in something worthwhile.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
There's a lot of uncertainty and tension about money, shared possessions and things that are jointly held with others. If you have to divide or share something, be very careful. Partly, it's hard to know how much you can put yourself first, and how much you have to acknowledge your responsibilities for others. You're changing your goals. Your dreams for the future are shifting. This is a good thing. You had to let go of previous dreams, which were probably an illusion: things you once thought were worthwhile are just not worth pursuing anymore. It's that simple. You woke up to a new reality. Major friendships are also changing. While new friends come your way, old friendships fade.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Uranus is in your sign opposing all those Virgo planets. And this Full Moon is also in Pisces. Plus, after six months, Pluto is at the top of your chart finally going forward once again. These are major changes! There's a lot happening. Naturally, all this opposition brings tension with partners. Ditto for close friends. Others easily tick you off. Don't talk about things if you're riled up; wait until you calm down. In the bigger picture, your long-term goals are shifting. For most of this year, you've been undecided about the direction your home, family and career were headed. Now you have a clearer take on things. (It's tough being nostalgic with a bad memory.)
