The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
Three planetary aspects affect us now. Two are crunchy; one is fairy dust. The two crunchy ones require patience. Without patience, accidents will happen both verbally and literally. Mercury (everyday events) squares Uranus (explosions and surprises.) Plus, stern Saturn blocks aggressive Mars. Oy vay! Anger spills out everywhere! But anger only makes everyone miserable. It serves no useful purpose. (Hey - even if you're plotting your greatest revenge, anger only clouds your mind.) Remember that the origin of the word scruples is 'to hesitate'. Therefore, count to five before you react. Make your words sweet and tender in case you have to eat them later. (Crow pie needs lots of whipped cream.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You like to win; you hate to lose. When it comes to ideas about foreign countries, politics, religion and philosophy -- you're highly opinionated right now. Unfortunately, a close friend or partner doesn't agree with you. Does this disagreement mean you lose? Does it mean that someone else wins at your expense? No. It just means that you don't agree with someone, that's all. Even though we are all more alike than not, naturally we have differences. That's why restaurants have menus. Lighten up. You can choose your future -- anger or happiness. (I'd say that's an easy choice.)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Disagreements about how to share something or use jointly held resources impact your job now. They even impact how you care for a small pet. This tension of course, ultimately affects your health. (Tension has a way of doing that.) Why bother getting your belly in a rash? Although it's true that bosses, supervisors, authority figures and even parents, block your efforts now. (As usual, they fail to see the wisdom of your ideas.) There's no point in sounding off. In fact, if you're patient about this situation, it actually turns around -- miraculously -- in your favour! Just when all seems to be lost, the head hancho gives you the green light. Sweet!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Quarrels and raw words with bosses, partners, kids and creative colleagues are possible now. You're excited about some clever ideas you have. You're keen to implement them. Lover's quarrels are also likely. (It's a very volatile time for you.) However, you have to remember not to shoot from the hip. I know that ideas are flowing so fast in your mind your mouth can't keep up with them. Nevertheless, chill out. Parents especially, must be patient with children now. Remember that increased agitation on your part simply makes children accident prone, erratic and confused. (Kids pick up every nuance in the air around them.) Ironically, love, romance, children and the arts also promise mucho goodies! Go figure.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Computer crashes, interruptions to work schedules, and heated disputes on the job, make your gut grind. (Did you know that your sign rules the stomach?) That's not all. Tension at home because parents or authority figures squelch your ideas or limit your actions also bugs you. Aaagghh. Is there no justice? In fact, there is. And you don't have to clap your hands if you believe in fairies. Just lighten up a little, because everything on the home front can change in an instant. Suddenly, a sweet little shift due to redecorating, real estate deals, or entertaining family members makes you feel all nice and warm in your tummy. Aaahh. Isn't that better? (Aren't you glad now that you didn't mouth off?)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Arguments with lovers, with children, and with creative colleagues are likely now. This is the last straw. (If so, why not use a cup?) You feel that others (especially siblings and relatives) are trying to coerce you or block what you want to do or say. You have all these great out-of-the-box ideas, and people are raining on your parade! Naturally, you're not going to stand for this. After all, you're royalty. You're entitled. You deserve respect, if not homage. (Will they never learn?) Actually, you well know that a closed mouth gathers no feet. A true leader knows how to serve others: the greatest good for the greatest number and all that. If you show peace and tolerance --suddenly everyone loves you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Family disputes about possessions and money are likely now. You want one thing; somebody else wants something else. Furthermore, someone older (perhaps more experienced and even wiser) seems to block your efforts to earn or spend money. (If this doesn't concern cash, it could relate to your possessions.) Naturally, this is frustrating! You want more freedom with how you earn and spend your money. And you don't want anyone at home telling you what to do. However, if you bite your tongue, and guard your response to everyone -- in the end, you'll actually end up with something quite lovely, beautiful and luxurious! Ha! Isn't this ironic?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Be very careful driving and walking. (Ditto if you use a Pogo stick.) This is an accident-prone time for you. Your daily schedule will be interrupted in some way by something unusual and unexpected. In a similar way, your dealings with others are also interrupted by explosive comments, rash decisions and hasty assumptions. In turn, this makes you do a slow boil about your boss or a parent. You want to say something, but you can't. (Isn't this great for your peace of mind?) Stop the presses. Switch your focus. If you can help children, or promote the arts, or be more sweet and understanding with your main squeeze -- suddenly, life is beautiful. (And you thought that it was always darkest before it got pitch black.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might want to spend money in an unusual way on children, or a fun vacation. You want to indulge yourself. Where's the harm? Unfortunately, the government or a large institution (hospital or prison) doesn't see things your way. Somebody, somewhere is telling you to "talk to the hand." You're not impressed. You want to do what you want to do. And when you can't do what you want to do, what you want to do is scream. (You can be so extreme.) The irony is that the escape to all this frustration is related to being soft, gentle and understanding with family members. Be that shoulder someone needs to lean on. This turns everything around. Doesn't that feel better? (Up and a little to the left?) Oh yeah.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Conflict with friends and groups is likely. (Not a pretty picture.) Your impulsive actions at home or with family members might be directly related to this. Or perhaps dissension at home makes you too abrupt with others. (These things happen: Boss yells at Dad; Dad yells at Mom; Mom yells at kids; kids spray shaving cream on dog; dog chases cat - mouse is history.) It's the Law of Shaving Cream and Mice, otherwise known as the Domino Theory. (Not.) You should know that before any kind of chain reaction begins, you can initiate an entirely different chain of events with simple kindness. It's corny but true. To give happiness is to deserve happiness.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Bosses, parents and authority figures fail to appreciate your avant-garde ideas about how to boost your earnings. Or they fail to see what you're so excited about at work. No matter how you cut it, people in power don't appreciate you now. Even worse -- they block your ideas! (This always happens to great people before they're fully appreciated and adored.) Naturally, this sucks big time. Do not show your anger. This doesn't have to be the showdown at the OK Corral. In fact, if you take a soft, yielding approach of consideration and generosity to others -- especially financially -- everything changes. Instead, people think you're the nice guy!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a busy time. You're running around talking to friends and groups because you're bubbling over with way out, exciting ideas. But the status quo opposes you! (Since when is this something new?) You were born 50 years ahead of your time. You're so ahead of things, nobody understands or appreciates you. That's why they dismiss your brilliance. Mellow out. Give the little people time to catch up. Show how the only sane choice is to act for the benefit of all concerned. Be the change you want to see in the world. Speaking of which, have you checked for change in the sofa? Goodies can come from unexpected sources right now. Oh yeah.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You feel that authority types are squelching your plans and ideas. You're cooking with gas and no one seems to appreciate it. You're surrounded by mediocrity! (This can be so discouraging.) Others are telling you to wake up and smell the coffee. You hate smelling the coffee! You feel your fair share is denied to you. The resources from others (especially related to children) are blocked or also denied. The only way to deal with this is to do a complete180. Oy vay. Be totally generous, considerate and tolerant to others. (If you love your enemies, it drives them crazy!) Demonstrate grace under pressure. (Works every time.)
