The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
In 2009, Mercury was retrograde during the holiday season and before that, it was 2003. You know the saying about putting a good saddle on a good horse? Well, this is the reverse. The holiday season is frantic enough with increased shopping, family expectations, personal depressions and apprehensions, plus the inevitable financial squeeze. And on top of that -- we all get fatter! Hey -- I love family get-togethers. But many find this a time of increased anxiety. And now, on top of this, we have Mercury retrograde messing up transportation, communications and creating havoc and confusion. Is there no justice? Yes there is. Treat yourself to a copy of my brilliant new book You and Your Future. It's a fun read and it fights amnesia, reduces tooth decay and increases sperm count. Would I kid you?
During the month ahead, you'll get an unusual amount of publicity for want of a better word. Parents, teachers, bosses and VIPs will definitely notice you more than usual. (Incidentally, this also includes the police.) But the good news is that what they notice is wonderful! (This part might not include the police.) The fabulous lighting of the Sun at high noon in your chart makes you look like a winner! You appear confident, capable and dare we say, heroic. Not only do you look good, you've got tons of energy to back it up. You're not just another pretty face because Mars (your ruler) is also at the top of your chart. You're PowerPoint on steroids!
You yearn to get away from all this. (Flee!) You need a change of scenery, preferably sunny beaches, wavy palm trees and white sands. The service will be superb, the wine, perfect and they'll serve champagne scampi at lunch. Hey -- you can escape. Just choose what's available. Change your routine. Be a tourist in your own city. Go places you've never been to before. Visit museums, art galleries, libraries, antique stores and ethnic restaurants. Learn something new. Take up a new language. Not only will variety offer you rewards and gratification, you can explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, and the law. The next six weeks will be enriching! (Sigh.)
Your life is going to take on an unusually intense quality during the next six weeks. This could be intense in a fun way, like wild, passionate, crazy sex. Or it could be intense in a not so fun way, like wild, passionate, crazy arguments about shared property or who owns what. ("I had that before I met you!") Ironically, with fair Venus directly opposite your sign now, relations with partners and close friends are coochy-coo. But disputes about shared property are also likely. And you won't back down. You'll be fierce about defending what you think is yours or what should be yours. Nevertheless, this same fierce energy amps your sex drive as well. An interesting month!
You need more rest. And you know it. This is because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy. So please respect this. Catch some extra zzzzs. In addition, with fiery Mars also opposing you, tension with partners easily flares up, largely because you are too quickly impatient. (Moi? Yes, you.) But hey, things at work are great. In fact, a romance that is work-related could suddenly blossom. Co-workers are supportive. Many will get a raise or praise, or perhaps where you work will be "spruced up" or improved in some way. Surprise travel plans continue to be a strong possibility.
You're gung ho to get super organized for the next six weeks. You want to feel like you're on top of your scene. You want everything in its place. In part, this is because of the social demands of the season -- after all, a Leo home is a Leo castle. But also, when everything is squared away, you feel mentally calmer and stronger. When your life is organized, you can face the world standing taller -- especially with sexy new shoes. (Love those red soles! Are those Louboutin$?) You'll accomplish your purpose in the next month because fiery Mars is ready to help you delegate. (Oh yeah.) "Build that bridge!" "Move that mountain!"
Oo la la! Zees is zee time for loff! Romance and love affairs can be beautifully enhanced during the next six weeks. Existing relationships can really heat up. (Not just in a sexy way, but in a very sweet, affectionate way as well.) Singles, on the other hand, might meet the love of their life. Some of these introductions will be through a family connection. Not only are relationships warm and cozy now (this includes professional partnerships as well), relationships within the family are similarly very affectionate. The next month is a wonderful time to entertain at home. It's also a great time for real-estate deals or to shop for your home to enrich it and make it look more attractive. (Postpone computer purchases until mid Jan.)
A strong emphasis on home, family, and your private and domestic life will be the order of the day for the next six weeks. Interaction with relatives and parents will be significant. Increased activity and chaos on the home front will also test your patience! Quite likely, this is due to visiting guests but it is also, perhaps, due to renovations and repairs. Consider this an opportunity to demonstrate that Libran grace under pressure. (And you will be thrilled with whatever repairs can be done at home anyhow because you like your home to run smoothly.) This is a great time to boost your income through writing, selling, talking, teaching, editing, and acting. You are silver tongued! Yada yada yada.
You hit the pavement running this week, and it doesn't stop until the end of January. Busy you! Many of you are involved more than usual with short trips, buying and selling, wheeling and dealing, negotiations, writing, studying, and just running around talking to everyone. But you love the hustle! Fiery Mars, the planet that rules ego, aggression, assertiveness (and your muscles), now totally hypes all your communications. You are fearless! In the next six weeks, you can sell, market, write, teach, act, and promote with zeal. When you see the hair blowing back over other people's ears, you might want to lighten up a little.
"Show me the money!" (Music to your ears.) In the next six weeks, your focus definitely turns to money, earnings, cash flow and possible purchases. Why? Because you're full of moneymaking ideas! Not only are you mentally geared to boost your earnings, you have the urge and ambition to do so because of fiery Mars. Obstacles turn into challenges ready to be overcome. In fact, you'll take a swashbuckling approach to boosting earnings. It's swag you deserve! "Won for all and all for won!" Meanwhile, this is a great month to shop for wardrobe items because you like what you see in the mirror. And you're oh-so-charming! "Enchante."
It's all about you, dear Capricorn. The Sun now joins Pluto and fiery Mars in your sign. What a lineup! This heightens your ambition, your aggressiveness, and your ability to express yourself to others. You're coming on like gangbusters! In addition, the Sun will attract auspicious circumstances and important people to you. This means that just as all these opportunities present themselves to you -- ah ha! -- you're waiting at the door ready to pounce! You won't miss a thing. Because the next six weeks are unusually powerful and fortunate for you, make the most of this! Make hay while the Sun shines. Yeehaw!
This is always the time of year where you have to pull in a little and take a back seat. You don't have to do this in a big way; after all, you're a networker extraordinaire. But psychologically, you need to work behind the scenes or alone until the Sun comes out in your sign late in January. Then you will step up to centre stage to enjoy the applause. ("Thank you, Thank you.") Many of you are hatching secret love affairs or private missions. (You know who you are.) You have an agenda. Be careful about someone who might not have your best interests at heart. If you feel something fishy is going on -- it is! Always trust your gut. You have excellent people know-how.
Your dance card is full during the next six weeks. Everyone wants to see your face! Many of you are busy joining clubs, groups, and organizations. Your involvement with groups will be physical as well as aggressive. This is a strong time for those of you who play professional sports. You're prepared to fight for your objectives and goals. You'll defend your beliefs. You'll also defend anyone else if you choose to do so. Form working units with others because this is not the time to go it alone. Quite the opposite. Your activity with others will ultimately benefit you. Accept all invitations. Enjoy schmoozing with others!
