2025 Annual Forecasts are now available.
All Signs
Today the Sun enters Aquarius bringing a shift of energy for the next four weeks that makes everyone want to connect with each other and be more involved with their community. "Hail fellow, well met!" People will feel independent and chafe at restrictions. Many will have original ideas and explore high-tech innovations. Meanwhile, Gemini and Libra will get a special boost of energy because Aquarius is their fellow Air Sign. Yes, I know it's confusing because Aquarius is an Air Sign even though its symbol is the Water Bearer. (A cruel hoax.) Actually, this dates back to the Sumerian god Enki of fresh water, intelligence and mischief. And yes, this is the same god that came up with pizza flavoured ice cream.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
In the next four weeks, you're more popular! Everyone wants to see your face. It's a great time to socialize; and many of you will hang out with younger people more than usual. This influence occurs twice a year roughly two months before and two months after your birthday. However, one advantage that you might explore is the fact that if you share your hopes and dreams for the future with others - their feedback will help you. Why not test this out? Perhaps on a clever Aquarian? Meanwhile, while some of you are involved in a secret love affair; all of you are taking care of problems at home or in the family that have been a challenge. By the end of February, solutions will be apparent. That's good news.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
For the next four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart. This happens only once a year, and when it does, it symbolizes that the Sun is casting you in a spotlight and this light is flattering! This means you'll look great to everyone, which is why people will approach you and ask you to take on increased responsibilities. Say yes because you won't have to do anything extra to dazzle them. You might also be involved with a parent more than usual. One thing is certain: you will focus more on your career, your role in society, and your standing in the community. How do people describe you? What do you think they say?
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You're clever, curious and you love to learn new things. ("Look, a bright, shiny object!") The next four weeks are exciting because your desire to explore and discover new experiences is even stronger! Travel will appeal to you because you want to broaden your horizons, see new places and meet new faces. But even if you can't travel, you can be a tourist in your own town. Go someplace you've never been before. Check out new restaurants, parks and different parts of the city. Explore new places because these activities will rev your engines and make you feel more alive. Some might also be more involved with the law, medicine, publishing or higher education.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a tough time for you because Mars is retrograde in your sign, which can make you feel uncertain and hesitant about things. You might lack confidence. You might second-guess yourself. You have lower energy; and you might have some misplaced anger and not know why. This could lead to revisiting old conflicts, which again feeds misplaced anger. (Time to send out for dark chocolate?) Don't initiate anything right now. Practice patience. You might want to journal or cook or explore activities that motivate you. Discussions about inheritances, insurance issues and shared property are likely. Meanwhile, seek a change of scenery!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Mars is retrograde in your 12th House, which can bring up hidden fears and make you feel more introspective. You might have suppressed anger and not know why. (But you know you feel irritable and restless.) Problems from the past might surface now. As a result, some of you will long for some isolation so that you can retreat from the world. Furthermore, you have low energy. For the next four weeks, the Sun will be as far away from your sign as it can get all year (in your chart this is about 5 inches). This may be symbolic but believe me - it's real. You will need more rest and more sleep. Cut yourself some slack. Fortunately, finances look good. Romantic intimacy is also affectionate.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You might feel disappointed even angry with a friend or a group right now. It's tricky. You might know why you feel this way - or you might not. Astrologically, this is because Mars is retrograde in your House of Friendships. The last time this happened was 15 years ago in 2010. Fortunately, relations with partners and close friends are excellent and mutually supportive. (This is a bonus.) Meanwhile, in the next four weeks, you'll bust your buns being as productive as possible in an efficient, effective way. Many of you will also be focused more than usual on improving your health. (This year I'm eating only plant-based foods, but I'm afraid I'll start tilting towards the sun.)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You might feel frustrated about your ability to assert yourself, especially with authority figures because this is the classic time for misunderstandings or tension with parents, bosses and managers. Grrr. (You can debate extremely well; however, you don't like power struggles.) This might be why career frustrations and concerns about your public status are on your mind. Fortunately, two lovely areas are shining in your chart! Coworkers and colleagues at work are supportive. (This is a bonus.) Meanwhile, for the next four weeks, fun, pleasure, socializing and schmoozing are where it's at for you. Enjoy the arts, the entertainment world, sports events and fun times with kids. Lucky you!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You've encountered delays and problems with publishing, the media, as well as finishing important papers and manuscripts or anything to do with higher education, and this is a challenge. Even travel plans have been stalled. Fortunately, your frustrations in these areas will be resolved or over by the end of February. Meanwhile for the next four weeks, home, family and your private life will be your primary focus. (Some of you will be dealing with a parent more than usual.) On the upside, opportunities to express your creative talents as well as socialize with others will be rewarding and fun. Good!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you're busier! Some of you might travel. You might also take a course or learn something new. Interactions with siblings, relatives and neighbours will be more involved. For the most part, this will be a "happy" busy - not a frantic busy. In fact, you will enjoy redecorating projects or tweaking your digs, especially if you entertain and can show others what you've done. ("Clever me!") Delays and frustrations dealing with inheritances and shared property are likely. In addition, you might also feel annoyed because you're forced to deal with people whose values are different from yours. (This is a thorny challenge.)
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This shift of the Sun will make you think more about finances values, possessions and self-worth. You might see ways to boost your income. If so, write down your moneymaking ideas. You might rethink your spending habits. ("Is this a need or a want?") The next four weeks are the perfect time to de-clutter and reorganize what you own. This is also a good time to get better clarity about your own sense of self-worth and learn how to nurture it and be grateful for who you are and what you have. It's time to prioritize and get rid of superficial stuff. (Keep the teddy bear.) Meanwhile, relations with others will be warm and mutually supportive because Venus is in your House of Communications. You rock!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Once a year the Sun is in your sign for four weeks and that time has arrived! With the Sun in your sign, it's appropriate to focus on yourself, your identity and how you present yourself to the world. You'll feel more confident, assertive and ready to go after what you want. Your physical energy will be high. You'll have more courage to assert your individuality. This is a good time for you to reflect upon what you want for yourself in the coming year. Also think about what you need in terms of your physical and emotional well-being. Yes, self-care. You can attract money to you at this time. In the bigger picture, plan on vacations, social outings and joy from children.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The next four weeks are about introspection and self-reflection. Take time to look inward and examine your thoughts, emotions and past experiences. Get more rest. Step back from your busy life and prioritize what you really need. Avoid overextending yourself. Secrets that you have from others (as well as yourself) might bubble to the surface of your mind. You might become more involved in your dreams. Note: Don't worry if you feel a bit lonely or isolated because this is classic right now before the Sun enters your sign in four weeks. Meanwhile, with Venus in your sign, you're charming and attractive to everyone. Continue to look for ways to improve family relations as well as your home.
