The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
Mercury retrograde is over by the 16th. Yay! Meanwhile, enter fiery Mars. Oy! Normally, Mars is in each sign for only seven weeks; but currently, it's in one sign (Taurus) for six months! Mars rules our muscles and our ability to assert ourselves. It gives us confidence. If it hits you right, you're invincible! However, depending on the sign it's in, it can be stressful. Normally, Mars' influence is fleeting; but now, its influence is for six months. (Gulp) It will stir the pot differently for each of us. Some will feel like action heroes, while others will feel impatient, held back, attacked, restricted, aggressive, intense, or helpless! Whatever the feeling - watch my fingers -- it is temporary! (It's always darkest before it gets pitch black.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You're like a loose cannon with money right now. You might be finding it; you might be losing it. (The money, I mean.) Spontaneous purchases and exciting ways to spend your money grab you by the throat now. You can't resist! What a deal! Unexpected opportunities to earn money can also arise. Hot tip: these new opportunities and financial fluctuations will get another boost of adrenaline in November/December. After that, things quiet down a bit. If you want to spend your money on fun stuff now -- why not? Go ahead. After all, life is short and fat. You only go around once, but if you do it right -- once is enough.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
New encounters with friends and unusual groups might enter your life now. One thing is certain: all your relationships take on a fresh, edgy tone. In part, this is because you're eager for stimulation and change. You're hungry for adventure and something kinky or exciting. Your physical energy is extremely high! You have this feeling it's now or never. You're prepared to fight for your rights. You're more aggressive and more unpredictable in all your dealings with others. You won't be caught napping. Oh no. You're back in the saddle and you feel fantastic! You're bold and fearless. "Fresh horses and whiskey for my men!" (Cavalry bugle riff here.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
As Mars travels through Taurus in the next six months, you'll be bombarded by a variety of feelings. What's happening is this: a strong energy now stirs up what is normally latent within you. (All that sludge at the bottom of the pond.) Childhood reactions, unfounded fears, feelings of inadequacy, worries about your future security, and an insatiable desire to play dominoes in rush hour traffic might grip you. These feelings could make you irritable and insecure. Unconscious past behavior patterns (little self-defeating acts) will undermine you. "I'm doing it again!" Remind yourself: this too shall pass. (Your Tom Mix Decoder Ring is in the mail.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You're meeting characters, unusual people, and experiencing an entirely new take with groups, clubs and organizations. It feels a bit like being on Candid Camera. Dealing with others is a constant source of surprise now. However, new introductions to new activities and ways of thinking take you to a new level. (Level 4: Women's Apparel, Linens and Small Appliances.) All this revs you up somewhat, and makes you feel younger, more with it, and plugged in to the scene. "What's happenin', man?" Your participation in group activities will turn you on. Others energize you now. They also introduce you to new technology. ("Watch carefully. This is called a safety pin. It has many uses.")
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Surprising opportunities to promote your career, your reputation and your good name among your peers will continue to come your way now. All kinds of things are possible. Quite likely, they'll involve some kind of advanced technology. Others are introducing you to the latest trends. (Is your cutting edge getting dull?) Time to wake up and smell the coffee. Get with the program. Unusual bosses are suddenly in the picture, because surprises connected with authority figures are likely now. (This includes parents.) News about important, influential people you respect might stun you. And so it goes. (Tune in next week: Will Harold accept his promotion to Astronaut, or keep his job drilling tiny, little holes in toothbrushes.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're on a self-improvement kick. (This is good. And you couldn't pick a better time to do this.) You're motivated at a very deep level to clean up your act psychologically and physically. (Pretty tall order.) Surely, part of the process of improving yourself includes expanding your experience of the world. No? Therefore, accept sudden opportunities to travel or chances to learn something new by taking a course or attending school. Similarly, stay alert for opportunities connected with publishing and the media. All these areas can trigger wonderful opportunities now! Sweet ideas to make money, and fun ways to spend it are at hand as well.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You can transform your relationship to specific groups or a friend in particular, in major ways now. How ever things change, they will change for the better. You want deeper, more intense, more meaningful exchanges with others. In fact, your goals and long-term objectives might change now as well. While this impetus takes place, your libido is very strong. Unexpected intimacy (something different) gives you something to write home about. (But we don't write home about things like that, do we?) Unexpected support through or from others (possibly even gifts or physical assistance) can come your way now as well. Things are looking very good for your sign.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You might have to confront someone important now -- your boss? You have the opportunity now to clean up some kind of messy situation. You can make changes in your immediate environment. You can transform whatever is messy and confused. Your reputation now and your ability to impress VIPs can increase your earnings or introduce a new source of earnings to you. Be patient with partners. Actually, you'll need to be extra patient with partners for the next six months! Just get used to it. You might meet someone new and unusual now. Tension with existing relationships could tempt you to look afield. (Don't blow a good thing fir a temporary bon bon.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You can really pull it all together now with matters related to foreign countries, publishing, the media, travel and higher education. You're working hard to get to the bottom of things. And you're doing it. You've got a definite handle on what you want to accomplish now. New technology at work, sudden staff changes, new duties or even a new job might shake things up little. Travel related to work is highly likely. (You don't mind this one bit.) Friends and partners are very helpful. Life is exciting because you feel enriched by the depth of some of your experiences now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Many of you are having a truly over-the-top love affair right now. It's mind blowing and you love it. (Natch.) For different reasons, you feel sexy right now. You feel hot, appealing and desirable. That's all it takes. The minute you feel this way -- it shows! Love spores are falling off your shoulders. Others can smell the scent. You're so into new experiences, you just could end up with a real character right now. Something very unexpected connected with show business, the arts, the entertainment world, romance, professional sports and children can come your way now. A few of you will experience love at first sight. Many exciting things catch you off guard now.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your closest partnerships and friendships are undergoing a major transformation right now. Don't worry -- it's a change for the better. Look at this relationship and your style of relating to this person. How can you improve things? You want to get to the bottom of something. You want to understand how things really work or not. It's definitely time to let go of whatever is not working. Big changes at home (perhaps sudden and unexpected) are taking place now. These new developments, although sudden, can be liberating. (Your favourite word.) Other changes at home could be due to new technology and new toys. Whee!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your day-to-day activities and your daily routine are undergoing changes now. You want to clean up your act. You want to get rid of habits, items, objects, possessions and methods that are no longer useful or relevant. Throw out stuff (especially at work) you no longer use or need. New friends and new acquaintances will rev things up for you now. Everything in your life is highly invigorated now because of the injection of new blood! You feel younger, bolder, and more experimental. Modern, way out ideas suddenly looked doable. Life is taking on exciting edge for you. You have to get to the bottom of something now so that you understand how it works. Since you're going to be working very hard this year, it's important to understand as much as you can about what you're doing. (When you don't know what you're doing -- do it neatly.)
