TAURUS

​

The first part of the year brings hidden love affairs or romance that cannot stay hidden forever and get dragged into the light of day in May, so remember that what you hide from others, you also hide from yourself and be sure the pleasure will be worth the price you’ll have to pay.  Form alliances or partnerships and solidify a work situation that you’ve been working on since last September during the first half of the year and then you can turn your attention to your professional image and intense one-to-one intimate relationships when Jupiter opposes your sign in the last quarter.   The Eclipses in February and August serve your professional interests with the best opportunities since the 1999 time span bringing to a successful conclusion projects begun 9 years ago.

GEMINI

​

Old love, friends and acquaintances come knocking on your door between February and June asking the question “are you sure, are you sure, are you really really sure?” to which you won’t know that answer until the mid-June time span, so avoid any new commitments and see if anything really has changed.  Saturn finishes up it’s 2 year opposition to your sign in December, so take your time figuring who your real allies are and aren’t and be prepared to leave both people and structures behind if they have outlived their usefulness in your life as the year draws to a close.   Love and laughter fill your life during the first half of the year with new love and a new feeling of freedom to create so let the love flow but be aware of creating things that will take on a life of their own and a new found responsibility in the fall that may take some of the blush off the rose as time goes on.  The Eclipses in February and August increase the pace of your day-to-day living to near warp speed with short-distance, short duration travel along with some long-distance journeys that teach you more than you ever thought you could know about the law and your life’s philosophy in a real, tangible form.  The February 26th Solar Eclipse shines a brighter light than you’d like on your home and family as something you have tried to keep hidden for the last two years finally sees the light of day and the repercussions can ripple through your foundations like an earthquake.  Mercury retrograding in January brings miscommunication over jointly-held resources, problems with friends and colleagues in April and May, troubles at home in August and September and challenges from partners and open enemies in December.

 

CANCER

​

Professional change is afoot between February and June, with sudden and unexpected opportunities as well as challenges that will be difficult to deal with if you aren’t really clear on what you want and need from your work.  Take some time to figure out who the players are before you choose sides, avoid any fight that you aren’t expressly invited to attend and wait until everything shakes out in June before committing to any course of action.  Finish up home beautification projects during the first 9 months, which may include purchasing real estate even if you aren’t planning on living there right away.  The restrictions and delays at work continue all year finally ending up with fewer responsibilities and more freedom of movement by years end.  Deal directly with nagging health matters as continuing procrastination will only make things harder to fix as time goes on.  The Eclipses in February and August are drawing attention to financial matters, both your own and the ones you share with others, so realize that your resources are finite and don’t speculate or go for the big win in the fall.  The February 26th eclipse finishes up rearranging your day-to-day routine and you may find yourself with the more time to take care of business that you’ve been working towards since fall of 2015.  Your love life picks up after September and single Crabs can feel their passion on a visceral level in the fall amazing even you with it’s intensity.  Mercury retrograding in January brings misunderstandings with partners, problems with professional friends and colleagues in April and May, travel delays and backtracking in August and September and health issues in December. 

 

LEO

​

Important legal, educational or matters at a distance are your focus between February and June with an unexpected opportunity in the spring that frees you up in some way to pursue a course of action you’ve been working towards over the last 4 years that can have a big influence on incorporating your life’s philosophy into your working world.  You can learn something pretty useful about the world as the Eclipses in February and August in your sign can rocket you into the spotlight for good or for ill, so try to keep your ego in check and you can create something pretty fabulous in your life that will take the next two years or so to play out bringing about the best new personal starts since the 1999 time span and brings matters to a successful conclusion, some of which have been pending since 2008.  The February 26 Solar Eclipse brings financial matters over the last two years to some kind of climax, so make sure your accounts are all in order so you will be free to pursue your own agenda as the year progresses.  The pace of your daily living continues at breakneck page during the first 9 months, and then slows down as you try to accommodate all of the change into some kind of a stable base of operations at home. Remodeling or refurbishing your home comes in the fall, and you may even purchase real estate even if you aren’t planning on living there right away at the end of the year.  Mercury retrograding in January brings miscommunication with work or health matters, legal or professional problems in April and May, misunderstandings with financial matters in August and September along with difficulties with children or lovers in December. 

 

VIRGO

​

The last Solar Eclipse on your sign February 26th brings the new personal starts in your life you’ve been working towards over the last two years to a successful conclusion with a clear understanding of what you expect from your intimate one-to-one relationships. Saturn continues to relentlessly square your sign all year, calling upon you to leave those people and structures which have outlived their usefulness in your life by the curb so you can go forward with the things that meet your wants and needs according to how you define them.  Venus spends between February and June in your 8th house of other people’s resources, encouraging you to maximize your existing resources rather than looking for new ones and the money Gods can smile on your rewarding your efforts with a small windfall or inheritance that can upgrade the standard of your living a bit and allay some financial fears as Jupiter increases your earning ability exponentially.  The Eclipses in February and August force you to confront your own inhibitions and fears and if you are receptive can bring about changes in your work that can give you a new lease on life if you take advantage of third millennium technologies available since the 2009 time span. The latter part of the year brings short-distance, short duration travel and you should take advantage of any opportunities to learn something useful about your world so you can carve out a pretty good deal for yourself.  Mercury retrograding in January brings miscommunication with children or lovers, problems with jointly-held resources in April and May, misunderstandings in personal relationships in August and September and legal or educational setbacks in December. 

 

LIBRA

​

It is all about you and your love relationships this year as mighty Jupiter, planet of abundance and expansion is in your sign for the first 9 months of this year bringing the best new start since the 2005 time span with single Libra attracting a new love and attached ones restoring the love in their existing relationships.  Venus opposing your sign between February and June calls for you to examine all intimate one-to-one relationships to make sure they are meeting your wants and needs, and if not, bringing new opportunities to renew and restore the love principal in your life.  You can expect people who might be little bit older or more experienced to come into your life, but reserve judgment as to who you want to keep until after it resumes its forward motion in May.  The February and August eclipses can bring quite the variety of new friends and loves, just make sure they give something rather than just take from you. The late February eclipse reveals secret enemies who have been working against you over the last two years, and you may be able to rid yourself of hangers-on who smiled in your face while shoving a knife in your back once and for all.  The rest of the year brings a solidification of your daily routine to something you can manage and the chance to build a new structure to work within.  Mercury retrograding in January can bring misunderstandings at home, problems with partners and their resources in April and May, miscommunications at work in August and September along with unnecessary backtracking in December. 

 

SCORPIO

​

Financial difficulties continue unabated this year, teaching you that you can get by with less and you may be surprised to find that it isn’t all that difficult once you accept that premise.  The Eclipses in February and August bring problems at home as those demands versus professional responsibilities continue to pull you in opposite directions with no clear answer as to which master you should choose to serve.  New opportunities to work are likely between February and June, but remember not to bite off more than you can chew and be prepared to either finish the things you start or don’t start them at all.  The February 26  eclipse brings creative projects that are close to your heart to a successful conclusion bringing two years worth of activity around to where you can turn what was an avocation into a pretty decent vocation as the year progresses.  Jupiter entering your sign in October heralds the best new start for you personally since the 2005 time span, so make sure your wants and your needs are at the top of any list and be sure to do things that selfishly serve your own interests.  Mercury retrograding in January brings delays with short-distance, short duration travel, miscommunications with responsibilities or health matters in April and May, misunderstandings with groups or acquaintances in August or September and financial mistakes in December.  

 

SAGITTARIUS

​

Saturn concludes its three year stay in your sign, bringing heavy responsibilities and onerous obligations and slowing your roll considerably as you struggle beneath the weight of it all, with little amusement or fun until the end of the year when Saturn finally leaves your sign, not to darken your doorway again for 29 years or so.  The Eclipses in February and August bring new freedom in your day to day living as well as a better understanding of legal or educational matters - just know that they will take 2 years to play out as the wheels of justice grind slowly and finely.  The February 26 Solar Eclipse brings a completion to professional restructuring, and anything you have left is real and can be depended on to sustain you in the future.  Archers can find new love or even old love coming back for another try between February and June, just remember that leopards don’t change their spots and sometimes people are in your past for a darn good reason and wait until June to decide whether they should stay or be left by the curb.  The latter part of the year brings insight into behaviors which may have outlived their usefulness in your life and something new comes to light that lets you out of your self-imposed jail. Mercury retrograding in January brings misunderstandings in financial matters, miscommunication with children or lovers in April and May, professional problems in August and September and fits and starts in personal relationships in December. d 

​

CAPRICORN

​

Professional success is likely during the first part of the year with either promotions, increases in responsibilities or even a new job with better prospects coming by September as professional opportunities abound.  The Eclipses in February and August shine a bright light on finances and your earning ability and you may find a way to increase the amount of money you make by working smarter, not necessarily harder.  The late February Solar Eclipse brings legal or educational matters to a successful conclusion and you find that the hard work of the last two years can pay off in spades by the fall.  Remodeling or refurbishing your home between February and June can cost more than you budgeted as you add to existing plans without considering all of the ramifications or hidden costs of “on site-modifications”.  The latter part of the year brings long-term hopes, wishes, goals or objectives into view and you may get a chance to grab for the brass ring when it comes around between October and December.  Finish up all old tasks during the year, particularly those which have been pending for the last 10 years or so and you will be ready to accept the responsibility that Saturn will bring to your life when it enters your life for a 3 year stay in December.  Mercury retrograding in January brings misunderstandings in personal matters, fits and starts with projects at home in April and May, miscommunication with legal or financial problems in August and September and can be your own undoing in December so have a care with words you may have to eat later. 

 

AQUARIUS

​

The Eclipse cycle shifts to your axis in February bringing a new spin of the Wheel of Fortune evoking the 1999 and 2008 time span, so be sure you put your wants and needs at the top of any list when dealing with interpersonal and professional relationships and the responsibilities they will bring.  The late February Solar Eclipse brings matters regarding both your own and your partner’s resources to a conclusion ending two years of reorganization and the rehabilitation of your finances and anything you have left is real, tangible and dependable.  Legal, educational or important matters at a distance go well for you with success coming by September putting you in the best position you’ve been in since the 2009 time span. You may get the opportunity to learn something rather useful about your world between February and June so accept any chance to combine continuing education with short-distance, short-duration travel. Unattached Aquarians can meet someone rather significant while out and about but reserve judgement about any new relationships until the fall.   Your focus shifts to professional concerns after October and with any reasonable effort at all, you should able to make considerable progress up the ladder of success.  Mercury retrograding in January brings misunderstandings and careless words you may have to eat, legal or procedural miscommunications in April and May, miscalculations with jointly-held resources in August and September and problems with group activities in December. 

​

PISCES

​

The last Solar Eclipse in your sign for 9 years happens February 26 bringing interpersonal relationships to some kind of a climax, for good or for ill.  Relationships have been challenging for the last three years, and this Eclipse signals and end to the problems so any relationships that are left are real and you can depend upon them to support and sustain you in the future. The February and August eclipses turn your attention to limitations and behaviors which may have outlived their usefulness in your life and keep you from dealing successfully with your obligations and responsibilities so be receptive to advice from friends who only have your best interests at heart and don’t kill the messenger when you don’t like the message.  Saturn continues to square your sign all year delaying gratification in professional matters, but if you can hunker on down and just do your job to the best of your ability you can weather the toughest professional climate in 29 years and emerge in the fall at the top of your game.   You may have to say goodbye to someone who has been important in your life and can benefit from other people’s resources during the first part of the year and even end up with money falling out of the sky on you.  Legal, educational or even important matters begin to go your way after October and you can travel great distances, either in reality or in your mind that can take you to a better place.  Mercury retrograding in January brings miscommunication with friends or acquaintances, miscalculations in financial matters in April and May, misunderstandings with partners and intimate one-to-one relationships in August and September and a final kick in the professional teeth in December.
