The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
We're having a Scorpio hit. Jupiter is in Scorpio (where it's been all year.) Mercury is in Scorpio, about to go retrograde. (Aaggh!) On Monday, the Moon is in Scorpio, and that morning, the Sun enters Scorpio, followed by Mars three hours later. The next day, Venus enters Scorpio as well. Hello? Counting the Moon, that's six planets in Scorpio! Enuff awreddy! ("Oops, sorry Darth.") This means we'll all feel intensely focused in specific (but different) areas of our lives. Some will be into relationships, others will into home and family, while others are involved with work. Whatever it is -- it's amped to the max! Scorpio energy is also excellent for purging what is no longer relevant in your life. (Scorpio rules garbage.) But hey - it also rules sex. Surely a Scorpio first said, "Chaste makes waste."
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You can expect to become increasingly involved with shared property, inheritances, debt, taxes and anything jointly held with somebody else. Fortunately, this part of your chart includes sex. Therefore, after you sit down to pay your bills and sort out insurance matters -- you might have an urge to get cozy with someone. Of course, as Woody Allen once said, "I'm the best I ever had." (Whatever gets you through the night.) Be patient with partners and close friends now. Do enjoy whatever little perks come your direction. (Never resist temptation. Who knows when it will come your way again?)
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Well, if the whole team is in Scorpio right now (see All Signs above) -- you're looking at it! All those Scorpio planets are directly opposite your sign. (We're talking three o'clock/nine o'clock.) This means partnerships and close friendships (and possibly a major client) are totally where your focus is right now. Retrograde Mercury brings ex partners and friends from your past back into your life. Venus and Jupiter promote good feelings and a mutual understanding. However, Mars will stir up some conflict. And of course, the Sun wants you to learn more about yourself through these relationships. It's a mixed bag. Raise your glass - "To life!"
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This gang of planets in Scorpio is lighting a fire under you with respect to work and employment, and possibly even health issues. You're totally into the job thing. You're trying to find a job, or quit a job, or improve your job, or a change your job -- something. This is the area where your focus entirely rests. Because of this, it's also the area where you'll have the greatest opportunities to make improvements in your life at this time. (Like wow.) Are you gunning for the key to the executive washroom? Work hard! But remember to take time out for fun, too. All work and no play makes Jack's widow very rich. Nevertheless, your job can improve enormously now! Hot lunch anyone?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
All these planets in Scorpio (see All Signs above) bode well for you because Scorpio and Cancer are both Water Signs. You're kissing cousins! To be more specific, this concentration of Scorpio planets totally ignites your desire to play and have fun. Romance, love affairs, entertaining diversions, vacations, artistic projects, professional sports and playful activities with children are the areas that will really get cranked up. You haven't had this many chances to have fun in a long time! Therefore, enjoy yourself. Go after what you want. Do your own thing. Sometimes we're swamped with obligations; other times we can play. Now you have permission to play. Whee! "Look Ma! No hands!"
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The reasons will vary in each of your lives, but all Leos are focused on home, family and domestic details right now. Expect increased discussions and time spent with parents. You'll also give lots of thought to your family dynamic and where you live -- the most private realm of your life. (Your deepest, darkest secrets and all that.) Since this is one of the most important transitions of your lifetime, how you structure your personal, private world is important. (That's because you're creating a whole new world for yourself, along with a new identity.) Make things pretty at home. You're royalty and you deserve the best.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This month your hair's on fire. You're juggling so many things, and you're so busy in so many different directions -- it's almost scary. Short trips, errands, increased writing, reading and studying, extra time spent with siblings, lots of negotiating and wheeling and dealing (to say nothing of buying and selling) are just some of the reasons you've got an outboard motor strapped to your ass. Zoom! Pay your phone bill. Communications will be interrupted. Expect delays in transportation, and silly, goof-ups and confusion in all your daily activities and conversations. Finish up what is already on your plate. Don't start new stuff until late November.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
"Show me the money!" A gaggle of planets in Scorpio is a sure sign you're thinking about your finances right now. The cash flow challenge is that money in never equals money out. (Bummer!) No one has ever really figured out why, but many suspect it's connected to the squirrels running along power lines. You're thinking about how you spend your money, what you want to spend your money on, and how you earn your money, and how you'd like to earn more money. Cash. Bread. Moolagh. Deniro. Coin. Lettuce. Clams. Dough. We're talking bucks! Pay your bills. Retrograde Mercury hits your bank account. You're buying beautiful things, and dreaming up moneymaking schemes.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're at the top of the hit charts! Five planets are in your sign this month (not counting the Moon.) This is extremely unusual. The Sun and Mars will definitely give you increased energy, and attract opportunities and people your way. Try to get more physical exercise because you have tons of energy that needs some place to go. Retrograde Mercury will bring ex partners and old friends back in your life; and fair Venus makes you diplomatic and attractive. (This is a good time to shop for wardrobe items. You like what you see in the mirror.) However, allow extra time for everything. (Definitely!) Transportation delays and confused communications will play havoc with your intended schedules. (Oy vey.)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You have a lot cooking on the back burner. (Slow start but looks like a big finish.) Your personal year is coming to an end because your birthday is soon approaching. That's one of the reasons this is very much a time of waiting and preparation for you. Continue to work behind the scenes. In fact, work alone if you can. It's not easy to get credit for what you do now. Fortunately, you feel unusually selfless. You're not demanding too much for yourself. You'll be very successful in any kind of research now. You'll find answers and solutions for old problems. Note: all these planets will soon move forward into your sign. When that happens, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Bonanza!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Old friends from the past, plus colleagues you knew in previous organizations and clubs are back in your life again. This is just one of the reasons your dance card is full right now. So many people -- so little time! Accept this increased popularity. Don't run away. Try to squeeze everybody in. Talk to others about your plans and hopes for the future. When you voice your goals out loud, it helps you to better define them in your own mind. Furthermore, feedback from others could be helpful. (You never know.) Group activities, especially physical ones, will be satisfying and rewarding now. (Two is company; three's an orgy.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
My, my -- all these planets in Scorpio (see All Signs above) are hovering at high noon in your chart. This is really something! Mars arouses your ambition. And the Sun calls attention to you. Parents, bosses, VIPs and authority figures notice you now. Not only that, they think you're fabulous even if you don't do anything extra special. This planetary phenomenon will also attract people and opportunities to you. But it definitely means you're in the driver's seat, and you've got places to go. Contact with old bosses is likely. Prior career opportunities might resurface. Think and act like a winner because this is what you are right now!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You're hungry to expand your world. ("I gotta get outta Dodge!") Not only do you have a desire to travel and learn more; opportunities to do so will fall in your lap. Publishing, the media, dealing with foreign countries, medicine, and the law are all areas that will suddenly generate situations and reminders from the past, as well as opportunities for the future. In fact, you're so eager to expand your horizons, some of you will explore new religions, belief systems, and philosophies. The details of other cultures will intrigue you. (They say a sari hides a multitude of sins. And of course, wearing this versatile garb means never having to say you're sari.) Ouch.
