The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
Mercury retrograde was over Sept. 12, but it did not pick up speed until Sept. 18. By the 27th, it catches up to where it was when it first went retrograde, so after that day (the 27th), it is truly all systems go! ("Forward" that is.) Major purchases like computers and cars and trucks are safest after the 27th. Although Mercury retrograde causes delays and confusion, it helps us finish old business and discover things from the past. I found an earring I lost three years ago, 20 miles away! The earring was right in a drawer in my house about six inches from its mate (which I had kept). Mind boggling! How could I not see it for three years? Now I'm beginning to wonder - did I eat that last mango in Paris?
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The Sun is now as far away from your sign is it gets all year, which is why you'll need more sleep in the next four to six weeks. (This explains why you feel low-energy.) This placement of the Sun brings two other messages: First, its opposition to you makes you focus on partnerships and close friendships more than usual during the next month. You will learn more about your style of relating. Secondly, this means that the next five months will bring you greater acknowledgement and publicity for your talents and your achievements. The Sun is now "rising" above the horizon, moving higher and higher. Definitely get your beauty rest! ("We see you!")
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You're shifting into work mode. Serious work mode. While it's true that you love your creature comforts (and you do), when the right kind of work comes along you're indefatigable. Not only will you work hard in the next month, you will also strive to get better organized. You want your life to run more efficiently, like a well-oiled machine. People might surprise you this week. This could relate to a group situation. Something might make you rebellious. Perhaps you're working harder because you want greater freedom? Some of you will spin off into self-employment or contract work. (Then you don't have to deal with those annoying people.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Tra-la, tra-la, it is to laugh! It's fun city for your sign for the next six weeks. For starters, romance, love affairs, and saucy flirtations are the order of the day. Accept invitations to party. Enjoy the arts and sports. Playful activities with children will delight. Make a point of finding ways to express your creative juices. Sing, draw, dance, write, carve, weave or grab a camera. By all means, slip away on vacation if you can because this is the best time all year for a fun vacation! Head for the mountains, head for the Sun, just head somewhere! Bosses and people and authority might throw you a curveball. Don't sweat it. You can catch it. (You're good with your hands.)
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Fred Allen said, "Happiness is having a warm, loving, caring family in another city." You can expect to be embraced in the bosom of your family during the next month or six weeks. "Hi Mom!" You'll either be more involved with your own immediate family, or you'll be visiting family, or family will visit you, or all of the above. Nevertheless, during this time also seek out private moments at home if you can because you have something to do. Memories of your childhood or earlier years will probably bubble to the surface at this time. Discussions about securing your home base will take place. This is going to be your goal for the next few years. Batten down the hatches!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Fasten your seatbelts. The daily tempo of your days is accelerating! You have a busy month ahead with short trips, errands, conversations with relatives and siblings, studying, writing, and a busy-ness that seems to keep increasing on its own. (Stop watering it.) Actually, this will be a productive month because you're determined to pull your financial scene together, especially where it's coming apart at the seams. You'll enjoy this busy pace because it's stimulating, exciting, and full of new opportunities to meet new people and discuss new ideas. Fresh, fresh, fresh! In fact, you'll feel exhilarated.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your attention is deftly swinging to financial matters and cash flow. "Show me the money!" Many of you are looking for ways to boost your income or to get a better job, or to get a new job, or to make some money on the side. By the same token, lots of you are contemplating major purchases. It's all about money in/money out. You might also be focusing more than usual on your possessions in the months ahead with respect to cleaning them, maintaining them, repairing them, whatever. Your communication skills are smooth and rather bold now. This serves you well. (Great for teachers, writers, editors, actors, and salespeople.) Privately, you're questioning your values. "What's it all about, Alfie?"
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
It's your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Both the Sun and Saturn are in your sign, which is a rather unusual. This can happen only two or three times in a 30-year cycle. You're gearing up for your future. You've been letting go of things in the last few years (and are probably still doing so). This lightening of your load will allow you to enter a new world, with new responsibilities, and possibly even a new or different daily wardrobe! Older Librans might recall whatever was happening around 1981-1983. You are entering a similar window of time now. Fortunately, your job is improving as well! ("Play it again, Sam.")
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The heavens are giving you mixed messages in the month ahead. One message urges you to lie low and work quietly behind the scenes. This makes the next six weeks a fabulous time for research and any kind of secret activity. (Scorpio? Secrets? Surely, you jest.) However, both Venus and Mars have quite a different message. They want you to get out and schmooze. They make you appear attractive, confident, and assertive. This doesn't mean you're all dressed up with no place to go. It means you'll be busy interacting with others, and then suddenly, for a few days, you'll disappear. If people ask where you are, tell them you're working on your Halloween costume. (The truth!)
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
What a popular month! Accept all invitations. Extend some to others from yourself. Join clubs, groups and organizations. Meet people for dinner, lunch, and coffee. Share your hopes and dreams for the future with others because their feedback will help you. The next six weeks are also a wonderful time for you to assess your goals. You have big ideas! Do not be seduced by a velvet rut. (You generally aren't.) Many of you are having secret love affairs right now. (That's why some of you are texting and talking into your sleeve.) The most important thing you can do this month is to define your future goals.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
For the next month, the Sun will slowly cross the top of your chart and be like a spotlight on you. This means others notice you more than usual, especially bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs, and the police. Furthermore, this "good lighting" makes you look great in their eyes. This is why you'll be approached with new jobs or increased responsibilities. Obviously, you should milk this for all it's worth. (Ya think?) Demand the advantage! Go after what you want. Competition within a group makes your teeth itch. Fortunately, fair Venus paves the way to make you smooth and diplomatic. (You're great at diplomacy when you want to be.)
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're desperate to escape from the cube farm, or whatever makes you feel imprisoned. (You're sending messages in fortune cookies: "Help, I'm trapped in a Chinese bakery!") Naturally, you want to travel. You want to watch those telephone poles going by, or better yet, hop a jet to an exciting destination. Do what you can to find adventure and expand your horizons! If you can't travel, be a tourist in your own city. Sign up for a course. Learn something new. Push the sides of the envelope. People in power will help you now. In fact, romance with a boss or someone in authority is likely. Perhaps this person is richer, older or more worldly? Either way, it sounds verrrry interesting.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Many of you will feel intense and secretive about matters in the next month. It's not that you have something to hide (although you might). The reason is more likely that you feel passionate about something in particular. It's not casual. It matters to you a great deal. It could be related to your sex life. It might also be related to shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt or something you own jointly with someone. Perhaps it is under dispute? Travel plans and matters related to publishing, the media, medicine, higher education, and the law intrigue you now. Exchanges with partners and close friends are friendly and chatty. But underneath all this, what drives you is a desire to improve yourself. Yes!
