The 2025 Annual Forecasts are available for pre-order. Annual Forecasts will be sent via e-mail on January 1st.
All Signs
Two major things are occurring: We have the annual shift of the Sun into Virgo, which means we will focus on different areas of our lives. And lucky Jupiter is fencing with unpredictable Uranus. "En garde!" This unpredictable influence means good news, shocking news or a sudden change. But be careful about making change for change's sake. (Tempting to do.) Instead - ask yourself, "What can I do that's really fun and going to make me happy?" The trick is to use the power of positive thinking. (Never to be underestimated.) According to Harvard Professor Rosabeth Moss Carter, "If at first you don't succeed - believe harder!"
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In the next month, you'll be eager to get better organized. You will do whatever you can to manage your life more efficiently. You'll make lists, refine techniques, establish procedures and get support material so that you feel you are as effective and productive as you can be. Since you're on this self-improvement kick, naturally this will include your focus on health. Yes, you want it all! Meanwhile, a sudden change of circumstance might benefit where you live or benefit your family. You might move suddenly or your home might change in some way that makes you feel richer, younger and more excited about life. Lots happening!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Lucky you! Your month ahead is full of opportunities for pleasure. It's a great time for a vacation because the bottom line is that you want to please yourself. Not only do you want to please yourself, you want to be free to express yourself! Enjoy sports events, the arts, the theatre, playful times with children and many chances to socialize and party with others. Something exciting and upbeat will rev your engines so that you're ready to make big plans. Some kind of change might involve your style of communicating with others or your relationship with relatives, especially siblings and cousins. You feel positive, confident and hopeful for your future. "I rock!"
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This month your attention turns to home, family and your private life. You've been so busy lately you almost hunger for peace and quiet and a chance to cocoon at home. Many will be involved with a parent more than usual. This could be why childhood memories start to resurface in your mind. Most of all, you want to relax in familiar surroundings. Unexpected news (hopefully positive) might impact your earnings. This could be a sudden windfall, a better job, a raise or a chance to make money. For some, it might be an unexpected purchase that expands your world or makes you feel rich. Yay!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Fasten your seatbelts because this month your daily pace will accelerate. You're juggling short trips, errands, conversations with everyone, visits here and there plus increased reading and writing. ("My hair's on fire!") Believe it or not, during this busy pace, you might squeeze in a vacation! The reason this might happen is many of you will get a charmed hit of good luck like a bolt out of the blue. ("Whaaat?" For moi?") The next year is fortunate for you and perhaps one of the reasons for this is that something will suddenly happen. It could be a chance to travel. It might be a boost to an exciting relationship. It could be opportunities to expand your life in other ways. Whatever it is - be ready. (Keep your bags packed by the door.)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You're entering a thought-provoking month where you will puzzle answers and turn things over in your mind again and again as you wonder, "What should I be doing?" You want to know what matters in life and whether you're on track or missing the boat. (Hey, you don't want to be waiting at the train station when your ship comes in.) You're thinking about cash flow, earnings and possessions. You might even want to show something off. ("Look at me!") You want to have better control over your life with cash flow and what you own. Recently, unexpected changes have made you more reflective, especially spiritually. Your own mortality and the interconnectedness of everything make you think. Well, yeah. ("Ching!")
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Happy Birthday! In the next four weeks, the Sun is in your sign (the only time all year this happens), which is why you will be able to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You will literally have a boost of energy! You will also inexplicably attract important people and favourable circumstances to you. Hint: It's time to make hay while the Sun shines! Put yourself first. Go after what you want. It's all about you now. Meanwhile, relations with a friend or a group might yield major changes and surprises. Who knew? Others might endorse you or help you reach your goals. This is an auspicious time for you. Expect a miracle!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Your birthday is a month away, which means your personal year is ending. This also means the next month is the perfect time to plan what you want your new year to be. How do you want it to be different from last year? What goals do you want to achieve? Organize your thoughts and write them down because success is more likely when you know what you want. (It's shocking how our beliefs shape our world.) Meanwhile, something unusual might electrify your reputation, perhaps suddenly. People are aware of you. Your name is on their lips. You might get a promotion, a raise, recognition - something that makes you feel acknowledged and appreciated. (The envelope please, "You like me!")
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your popularity is growing. Everyone wants to see your face. Your schedule will be jam-packed and friends will call as you juggle the demands of clubs, groups and organizations. (It's nice to be adored.) This is the perfect time to think about long-range goals and making your dreams a reality. Work with others because they will benefit you. Establish who you are in partnerships and groups. Many of you will get a sudden opportunity to travel or explore further training and education. Others will receive a windfall connected with publishing, the media, medicine and the law. This is an exciting time in your life because others are so helpful.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
In the month ahead, people will notice you more than usual, especially people in authority. Not only will they notice you, they will admire you, which is why you will be asked to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you won't have to do anything special to dazzle them because they already think you're great! (Obviously, this is the month to push your agenda - ya think?) Perhaps one reason you are noticed is a sudden windfall of money, support, wealth or assistance arrives. It might be an inheritance, money indirectly benefiting you through a partner, or a chance to economically join forces with someone. Make the most of this!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You're restless and eager to expand your horizons. Travel anywhere because you want adventure and you want to get outta Dodge. However, travel is not the only way to change your world. Exciting courses and educational opportunities can also expand and enrich your life. Some will pursue new avenues in publishing, the media, the law and medicine. Lots of possibilities! Meanwhile, sudden and wonderful opportunities can benefit you through a partner or close friend. A casual relationship might become committed. Or you might be introduced to wonderful people through someone. Or vice versa, wonderful people might introduce you to someone. Your success in dealing with the general public will grow. Stay ready. Work with others.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Your involvement with inheritances, taxes, debt, shared property and anything to do with jointly held assets will be considerable in the next month. In addition, you might focus on classes or disciplines that will improve you in some way. (This is something you want to do.) Many of you will meet a strong teacher or someone who provokes self-inquiry in you - a real learning experience. Perhaps it is because of your self-aware readiness that you will experience a sudden job promotion or a sudden change that benefits both your health and your work. Something unexpected is going to open doors for you. Classically, you will want to work for yourself or be self-employed in some way. Independence is key to your survival.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Your focus is on partnerships and close friendships now - no question. This month you will learn more about how you relate to others. Keep in mind that for a relationship to be successful, you must be as good for your partner as he or she is for you. This is your best chance in a year to scrutinize your relationship style. Meanwhile, respect your need for more sleep because the Sun is now as far away from your sign as it gets all year, and the Sun is your source of energy. Another reason you want to be well-rested is unexpected opportunities to vacation, enjoy the arts, be involved in sports and enjoy playful activities with children will fall in your lap. Expect a fun bonanza to come your way. Ah yes, there's no time like the pleasant.
