The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
People will feel passionately about different things this week. Emotions are intense and very strong. In particular, fiery Mars opposes unpredictable Uranus (midweek), which provokes feelings of rebellion and independence. It's not a mellow week, but it doesn't have to be a bad week. The only downside will be knee-jerk reactions that trigger conflict and even accidents or broken stuff. With three planets still in Leo, the world wants to party, eat, drink and be merry. Life is a play where we missed the dress rehearsal. Romance, sports and mini-vacations are promising. But promising what? (Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn't permanent.)
Aries (March 21-April 19)
It's important to establish that delicate balance between work and play. You're a hard-working sign, but you also love to play! In particular, you like to explore new territory, meet new people, try all kinds of arts and crafts, and get sucked into the competition of games and sports. "I win!" You have an opportunity to explore all these things this week. However, something unexpected at work (and possibly with your health) might happen. Computer crashes, power outages, staff changes and arguments with co-workers or bosses could mean trouble. You don't take direction well. You hate being bossed around, especially by inferior superiors. Good luck. Don't let one knee-jerk reaction get you in trouble.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Home, family, real estate and domestic issues continue to be your primary focus now. Many of you are renovating, redecorating or buying beautiful things for family members or where you live. You want to make everything charming and elegant. (You love your creature comforts.) Please note: Parents should be vigilant mid-week because it's an accident-prone time for your children. They will also be rebellious. Unexpected events related to vacations, sports and romance could be a handful. Remain calm and reasonable with others. Sometimes children need the space to act out, then it just blows over. (Kids are slow to learn that life is a do-it-yourself project.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
It's a busy week! You're running around doing errands, taking short trips, reading, writing and studying plus talking to everyone! Don't get so distracted with external details that you ignore events at home or within your family that require your attention. I say this because it's your scene with home and family that will explode in some way this week. This could be as minor as unexpected company or small breakages occurring at home. It could be as major as unpleasant arguments in fights with family members or home accidents taking place. Be patient with family members and those you live with. Slow down. Take it easy. Try to anticipate accident-prone situations, especially with electricity.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a powerful time for you with respect to cash flow, shopping and how you earn your money. You're full of money-making ideas and many of you see new sources of income or new ways of improving your earnings. Similarly, you might be buying beautiful things or seeing applications for things you already own. However, arguments with siblings, relatives and neighbours are highly likely this week. Ouch. In fact, this is an accident-prone week vis-à-vis walking, jogging and driving. Do not be hasty. Take your time and double-check everything. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and lippy responses to others just because you're irritated or you feel others are encroaching on your boundaries (which they probably are). Patience.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Three planets (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) are still in your sign making this week all about you. It's still your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You're out there flying your colours. You're talking to everyone and buying clothes that make you look great. (And on sale!) Romance is hot and relations with everyone are unusually meaningful and intense - just how you like them. The only weird thing that can happen is something to do with your money, your earnings or even your possessions. Here is where you can expect the unexpected. You might lose money or you might discover new ways of earning it. (One hopes.) Guard against breaking something.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Whoa Nellie! Even though you're inclined to remain in the background or work behind the scenes right now, something prompts you to really stand up for yourself this week. "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Arguments with close friends and partners are practically unavoidable. You feel your integrity, your power and your freedom are at stake. The minute you feel threatened, you'll react! That's why spats, disagreements and arguments with others could break out. This kind of distraction could also create an accident-prone situation for you. Be careful! Don't lose your cool. If you do, you might end up eating humble pie later. (Whipped cream helps.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an unusual week in some respects. On one hand, you're enjoying the company of others. You're being unusually social. Friendships flourish and group activities fill your social calendar. Artistic friends are delightful, and many of you are hanging out with younger people as well. You'll enjoy discussions about your future and your long-term goals. All of this is exciting and meaningful. However, a hidden enemy or someone you aren't aware of could be working against your best interests. If you think something fishy is going on, it probably is. You might also not be aware of a hidden rage or anger within you. This can be destructive. Acknowledge what you really feel. (At least to yourself.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You're very much high viz this week. Three planets are at the very top of your chart throwing you into the spotlight, bringing attention to you and making you look unusually good in the eyes of others. Mercury promotes your ability to chat, schmooze and be a sweet tyrant. People will definitely listen to you! You're the one in charge. However, be careful you don't end up in a major squabble with a friend or a member of a group. You might be coming on too strong for others and in turn, they react. Naturally, you'll respond and the fur will fly! Patience is the antidote to anger. Don't lose your cool. Stay frosty.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
It's your nature to want to be a free soul. You love the outdoors and, not only do you love freedom of action, but physical activity and freedom are actually necessary to your survival. This is one of the reasons you're such a world traveller. You like to go with the flow. This week three planets promote your desire to travel, explore and learn new things and seek out adventure. You're on a roll! The one dark cloud on your horizon is a potential fight with an authority figure. You will not take kindly to anyone who tries to clip your wings or inhibit your freedom of action. Unfortunately, this is probably what will happen. When it does, act with graciousness and skillful means. (For the sake of your own happiness and the happiness of others.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're unusually concerned with shared property and dealing with the wealth and belongings of others. You might have a lot of responsibilities right now. In addition, in your private life, sex is unusually passionate and exciting. This means there's a lot happening right now that are pleasant distractions as well as important ones. Therefore, you have to be on guard for sudden changes related to travel plans or anything to do with publishing, higher education, medicine and the law. Someone could block you in these areas, and you could have a hissy fit. Naturally, this is not ideal. Stay on your toes and don't squat with your spurs on.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is an extremely social time for you. You're enjoying the company of partners and close friends. On the whole, things are going swimmingly and feelings are affectionate and warm with others. Lively conversations in pursuit of the truth will be particularly enjoyable. Nevertheless, something unexpected will happen that could relate to shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and possibly even your sex life. This will definitely throw you for a loop and cause you to be agitated in some way. Perhaps arguments and disputes about the ownership of something or how something is divided will take place. Remain calm. Don't lash out or speak without thinking.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
This is a very delicate week for your sign. Be careful! You're working very hard right now because you've got big ideas. In addition, you're turned on by some project that involves the creative participation of others plus your own artistic know-how. Therefore, you feel there's a lot at stake! And there probably is, especially emotionally. That's why you're ripe for disputes, dissension and arguments with partners and close friends. You're so intent on your own plans and your own ideas that the opposition of others will upset you. You want co-operation (dare we say obedience?). Think of the big picture. In the long run, you want to get along with others. Right? Therefore, lighten up. Be patient and forgiving. (The main cause of divorce is marriage.)
