Building up your resources and attending to the health of mind, body and spirit are on the agenda for the first half of December. Thereafter, it’s all about celebrations and new starts. You may feel as if you’ve been left out of the loop or that someone is no longer in your corner, but these are figments of your imagination. Ignore the doubt devils. Fake it till you make it!
Jupiter and Saturn help good things grow and bad ideas to be rejected. Something to bear in mind especially around the 4th and 27th. The year ends on a 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn – a sign of new horizons coming into view.
Don’t allow a minor setback to stop you from pursuing your dreams and one goal in particular. Mid-month, a 🌕full moon and a stationary Saturn could preside over a disappointment, however, that obstacle is an opportunity. And by revising your ideas you will be on course for success. You need to embrace new strategies and new systems.
Collaborations and creative endeavours are in the spotlight encouraging team-work and start-ups and also bringing new people into your life. Once again, you are reminded that the best things in life are worth waiting for.
With the Sun high overhead, this is your month to stand in the spotlight and flaunt your assets. It is the time to impress the powers that be and to pursue your ambitions. The 🌑solar eclipse of the 2nd presents a window of opportunity both for your personal and professional ambitions. It is a great time to make your pitch and to accept offers, even if they do not meet all your requirements. Getting rid of toxic situations is another of October’s themes, whether this applies to friendships and partnerships or activities and patterns that are unhealthy. Strip away the dead wood and growth will follow.
September brings far horizons into view. It is the best time to see more of your world and improve your outlook. And while you could travel to distant parts, you may also be able to see a situation from a better perspective which will help you make good decisions. Short-term solutions are not the answer though, how your actions will affect your life way down the line is what counts.
Contracts could be up for renewal, so if you are thinking of jumping ship professionally or romantically, turn thoughts into action on or near the 18th. However, there is a chance that someone will get there before you.
You’ll be channelling your super-hero-within this August. Not only could you have a packed agenda, but situations you had not anticipated may require you to step up and take charge. While travel can expand the mind, it may also encourage you to consider moving abroad and/or changing your lifestyle.
However, with Mercury in retrograde from the 5th – 28th, it’s not only your dreams that will take time to materialize but also getting from A to B in terms of miles and understandings. The period around the 19th is the most testing, yet also the one that has the potential to turn your life around.
Love and relationships are centre stage. Not every ♑Capricorn is going to be struck by Cupid’s dart but many of you are going to feel more loved or recapture the spark you once had with a partner. Certainly, if you’ve given up on love, it’s time to put fears from the past behind you. With Uranus and Pluto in high profile, there is an element of fate and the unexpected about what happens, however, you still have the power to make choices.
The 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn (21st) presides over one of the year’s most important turning points. Whatever the actual events, they’re inspiring core change within you.
Just because the calendar says it’s flaming June, doesn’t mean the weather knows that, nor, indeed, the cosmos!
Saturn is a major player and although this planet can deliver rewards, it can also bring you down to earth with a bump. Mid-month in particular shows you what has the capacity to stand the test of time and what needs more work. It could also reveal the truth about someone and how valuable an investment really is.
The only 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn takes place on the 22nd, completing a cycle that began in early January. It represents both union and separation; endings and beginnings.
The secret to happiness is to be yourself, and May’s stars give you the opportunity to take the spotlight and show what a unique and gifted person you are. There is no need to embellish your CV or follow other people’s example, simply do what feels right for you. And this advice applies to your love-life every bit as much as your career and social activities. Also, don’t wait to be invited to take the lead, put yourself forward and assume control. Take unexpected developments in your stride: you can’t rewind the tape but you can diversify. Food for thought, especially on or near the 13th and 31st.
Home and family take centre stage. Special occasions, gatherings of the clans and developments that send ripples through the family could all be on the agenda. The highs will be great and the lows eminently survivable.
♑Capricorns prefer to take their time before taking the plunge, but with these transformational influences, a leap of faith may be exactly what is required. Especially in regard to an affair of the heart. What you don’t want to do is let an opportunity slip through your fingers.
These alignments will never come again, neither will the opportunities.
March is a moving month. On the one hand, you should be on the move but there could also be moments that bring a tear to your eye. Communications and travel are in the frame, much of it geared to helping you get a new outlook, whether in the real sense of different places and new people or in the way of seeing a situation in a different light. It is also a premium period to speak your truth or at least get a few of your ideas across to people who need to hear them.
And then there’s the 🌕lunar eclipse of the 25th, which falls on the axis of life-direction. Especially if you’re a December ♑Capricorn, you’re about to enter a new country.
Money may not be the most important thing in life, but life is a whole lot easier when finances are in balance. Whether unexpected expenses arise or your income changes, adjustments to your lifestyle may be necessary.
And if it’s not money that requires new thinking it’s affairs of the heart. Maybe you didn’t realize just how much you cared about someone or perhaps you’ve taken a relationship for granted, but whatever the epiphanies, doing nothing about them is not an option. And wherever it becomes apparent that time has run out, see it as a means to a new and improved chapter of life.
After a quiet start to the year, things get a lot more interesting. The 🌑new moon in ♑Capricorn (11th) marks the beginning of a series of events that will help you make 2024 the year when everything changed. For many of you, especially those with mid-January birthdays, this will involve walking away from a situation that has been in place for years or confronting someone with your true feelings. Only by drawing a line will you know whether an organization or an individual is prepared to up their game.
On the 20th Puto conjoins the Sun so, that theme of transformation, of endings and beginnings will be playing long and loud.
Time spent in preparation will not be wasted. Aside from getting ready for the holidays, if you sense a matter is coming to a head or you know there’s an elephant in the living room, deal with it before mid-December. That way, you will be free to enjoy the festivities, which could have a surprisingly romantic edge to them.
The 🌕full moon of the 27th is all about closure: there is nothing more to be gained from hanging on to a situation or a set of feelings; it is time to move on. Whether this is a deeply satisfying experience or somewhat overwhelming, you’ll discover more than one cloud has a silver lining.
You’ll need to be adaptable and innovative to make the most of November’s offerings. It’s time to gear it up a bit and make people aware that you’re not always the one who has to clear up other people’s messes and sacrifice your own happiness and fulfilment in the process. Uranus is the bringer of change and especially on or near the 4th and 13th, the new and the unexpected come in like a hurricane. All to the good, even if it does temporarily rock the boat.
From the 22nd, the Sun will occupy the shadowy twelfth house, making things seem more difficult than they really are. Stay cool.
You may already have experienced the hand of fate operating in your life this year, but, if not, wait and see what October has to offer in the way of “out there” events. It’s a wild ride and certainly a month in which much can change and very quickly.
The 🌑solar eclipse, a game-changer if ever there was one, is boosted by Pluto making mid-month a period when what you believed to be unchanging and unchangeable does just that – change!
Be hopeful and courageous, ♑Capricorn. The future is in the making and when all the scenery has shifted, you’ll be mighty pleased with the result.
September opens up new horizons, whether through travel or professional and personal opportunities, and although it may seem safer to keep within familiar boundaries, risk brings rewards. Keep your focus on the bigger picture. Whatever the delays or the reversals, they serve a purpose in the long-term.
The 🌕full moon of the 29th flanks the life-direction axis and signals the end of a chapter. For some, it’s time for contracts to be signed, for others to end agreements. Either way, a new beginning beckons in October.
August is a reflective month. Before things can change for the better, you have to make changes. The plans you have are achievable but they require some grown-up actions. Other people’s demands on your time and their influence on money in particular and your life in general could be getting in the way of your happiness and peace of mind.
And it is a state of affairs that could come to a head around the weekend of the 12th. Push comes to shove mid-month, whether you decide to follow your heart and create waves in the process or because a situation is unsustainable.
Other people are going to make all the difference to your happiness and success, both during the month ahead and further down the line. The 🌕full moon in ♑your sign (3rd) and aspects to mighty Pluto (10th and 20th) inspire conclusions, whether this translates as happy endings or the end of long and not always easy chapter.
In general, but especially if you have a birthday on or near 17 January, many aspects of your existence are changing and in the same way the caterpillar turns into a chrysalis and then becomes a butterfly, you too are in the process of developing wings.
The question of working to live or living to work has come up before, but under these influences it may be time to make some big changes. You need a break and other people need to share time with you. The additional benefit of taking time out is that when you do return to the treadmill, you’ll be able to make even bigger and more beneficial improvements.
In many ways, June is a ground-breaking month, and you’ll be sowing seeds of your future happiness and success. On the 21st, the Sun enters your seventh solar house, marking the beginning of a key period for partnerships in general and romantic relationships in particular.
Whatever plans you have for May, build in some wiggle room. The astrology is akin to the weather – all four seasons in one day — and more than one day this month is primed to deliver change and the unexpected.
A love affair begun at this time will prove life-changing, as will other enterprises that start now. It may be difficult to understand why things happen the way they do, although after Mercury ends its retrograde passage you will get some answers, but in this astro-climate situations that have been simmering away underground are rising to the surface.
Home and family are in the spotlight. There could be a gathering of the clans and happy news to share but there could also be some darker tones that require careful handling. People may misinterpret messages and a relationship could be damaged by unintentional remarks or actions.
The astrological weather is particularly stormy during the second half of the month, so keep a plan B in your backpack at all times. Indeed, travel and communications could be part of the problem so don’t embark on a journey without insurance and your patience pills.
♑Capricorns value tradition and rely on tried and tested strategies, but the astrological times are a-changing and old methods and old-thinking won’t do anymore. A situation arising on or near the 16th has the potential to change your life for the better, even if it seems quite the reverse. You’re going to have to put a plan in the shredder and start over. The point being you will end up with a far better result and one that will work in the new times.
These next three months are game-changers and until the end of May you cannot be sure quite how certain how the story will end.
It may feel safer not to make a big investment in your future and to wait for a better time, but with Jupiter’s premium position, it’s time to speculate to accumulate. This may well apply to the purchase of a home or business, but it can also relate to love. There are no guarantees in affairs of the heart – you simply have to go with your feelings – but where property and business are concerned, go with your head, not with your heart.
The 🌑new moon of the 20th signals a short season of productive dialogues, some regarding work and others to do with the family.
January comes in a like a lion and goes out like a pussy cat! Venus meets with Pluto making for an intense encounter, whether in the way of romance or a disagreement, after which there may be no going back. However, Mercury will be retrograding until the 18th, so it may be possible to mend a fence thereafter or get new plans and dates in the diary. For some ♑Capricorns there are changes on the job front while for others a health matter gets in the way of work.
The 🌑new moon of the 21st begins a new year-long financial cycle; it is the perfect time to do deals and right financial wrongs.
To begin with, it may seem as though everyone’s having fun except you. Duties and responsibilities weigh heavily on your shoulders. However, on the 10th, lovely Venus enters ♑your sign setting the stage for romance and a lucky break or two. Jupiter also joins the party, and from its perch on the midheaven will ensure you make serious progress in the coming six months. Some ♑Capricorns, especially the December birthdays, will experience gains and success before the 31st. And it promises to be a great end to a challenging year.
You can never prepare for the unexpected, but you should be able to sense when push has come to shove. So, if someone is getting tired of waiting for you to make a decision or you’ve been looking for a miracle to occur, it’s time to take action. The cosmos is in no mood for compromise: the good will be fantastic and the bad will be inconvenient.
The 🌕lunar eclipse of the 8th brings situations to a tipping point, after which life may look rather different. And even if early-to-mid November fails to produce a jaw-dropping development, events in the lives of others could inspire you to make major changes.
Life and buses have something in common: you wait hours for one to arrive and then three come at once. October is a little like that. During the next six weeks, the tectonic plates of life will be shifting situations that have been stuck for ages and awakening you to a new world. Well, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but not everything in place at the start of the month will be there – at least in the exact same form – by mid-November.
In the main, this is good news, but if you have been resisting taking action, hoping against hope it won’t be necessary, please get those ducks in a row.
September is get-away-from-it-all month. However, with Mercury in retrograde from the 10th you’ll need to be prepared for delays and detours. Likewise, don’t expect people to respond to you in a hurry. Remind yourself that no news is good news.
On the 23rd, the Sun begins its journey through the zone of life-ambitions, and an opportunity arising on or near the 26th should be grabbed with both hands. Don’t undersell yourself, whether you’re looking for love or work. It’s not that the stars are doing a great PR job for you, it’s you who needs to take advantage of the solar wind.
This is no time to dig your heels in. You have to go with the flow and see where the current takes you. From the outset, there’ll be events you could not have foreseen and you’ll benefit from travelling light, whether you offload real baggage or disengage with people who are superfluous to requirements!
Money could be an issue, and although some of you will reach a favourable conclusion others could be dealing with a financial glitch. Weddings and family get-togethers could also be on the agenda, and if you’re house-hunting, you may find the perfect place.
Think back to January because the seeds of one or more of July’s developments were planted then. It is harvest time. A time to enjoy the fruits of your labours – especially a labour of love – and a time to assess whether the results of your efforts justify your hopes and ambitions.
The 🌕full moon in ♑Capricorn (13th) – the only one this year – is aligned with Pluto, so while it may preside over a memorable life-landmark it may also remind you that some things are not fit for purpose and need to be set aside so that new and appropriate situations can take root. It isn’t easy leaving a chapter behind, but your focus should be on the next.
No sooner does one situation resolve itself than another takes its place. The chances are people have got their wires crossed and until the facts have been established you should avoid taking action, or at least get the opinion of an unbiased source.
Saturn and Neptune will be returning over old ground during the next few months, and in the process, you will be able to rethink one or more matters, saving yourself a whole lot of hassle further down the line.
An agreement reached on or near the 18th should prove binding and the 🌑new moon of the 29th sets the stage for a very happy event.
Jupiter brings it expansive properties to the roots of life. Over the coming months, you can expect increase and growth on the home and family front. It will be a good time to invest in a property or make home improvements, and some ♑Capricorns will add to their family, whether by marriage or birth. Working from home and running a business from home should prove successful and life-affirming.
The 16th’s 🌕total lunar eclipse marks the end of a gestation period, after which a new chapter will begin. Even though that new chapter will eventually prove to be a blessing, the events that inspire it or surround it could be challenging.
The focus is on home and family. While some ♑Capricorns can look forward to happy gatherings at home base, others may be renovating, refurbishing and even moving home. Ends of chapters are writ large on the 16th’s 🌕full moon, and events around that date, no matter how welcome, could demand a huge amount of time, energy and creativity.
This is another of those months when stripping away aspects of your existence which are gathering dust will free up space so that new pursuits, relationships and opportunities can take root. It’s time for a giant spring-clean.
It may have taken from January until the first week of March for you to establish what precisely is going on in regard to an important matter. Especially if you have a birthday on or near January 17th push has come to shove, but whenever you were born, the first few days of the month are power-packed to say the least. As always with Pluto, you can be transported to the stars or plunged to the bottom of the ocean, but in the long-term, the challenges or break-throughs you encounter now will prove life-affirming. Finances are the focus for some unexpected bonuses, although for some ♑Capricorns a change in income is not so welcome.
With Mars in ♑your sign, you are in feisty and fearless mode. And it’s a good thing because the more courageous you are, the better the results. People respond to a strong message so whether you’re seeking promotion, a great deal or someone to love, be bold and forthright. Life is short. You have no time to waste on situations that or people who aren’t made of the right stuff.
Venus is now in direct-motion and set to meet Pluto for the third time in early March, so a matter regarding love or money still has to run its course. Keep your options open until then.
Be patient. From the 11th, travel and communications will be subject to delays and detours and problems with technology could slow things down even more. The 🌕full moon of the 17th opposes Pluto giving you an opportunity not only to get rid of the vestiges of Christmas past but some other aspects of your existence that are looking distinctly dated.
Indeed, now may be the time to make that almighty decision you side-lined last month about a relationship. The last week of January is yet another pivotal period for your future: the power is in your hands — you’re either all in or all out.
Just because fairy lights are everywhere to be seen doesn’t mean life is similarly sparkly — some of it, yes, but with Venus in ♑your sign heading into retrograde (25th), love and relationships have a question mark over them. Is it really the time to make a life-long commitment or the moment to say you’re done and dusted?
Only if you’re 100 percent sure should you make such almighty moves. You want life to change and you want to make up for lost time, but that doesn’t mean making decisions you’re not really ready to make.
Jupiter’s entry into ♓Pisces (29th) opens up new horizons, whether in miles or knowledge.
The ♑Capricorn Goat rarely rushes into action and only departs from the script in an emergency, and you may have to do both in November. Events come out of thin air leaving you very little time to prepare a good plan of action. Now, this does not mean any unexpected developments will be bad, indeed, they could be terrific, but they’ll still inspire changes that won’t go down well in all quarters.
From the 5th, Venus will be in ♑your sign, which will not only protect you and your interests but could improve your chances of success in regard to a romantic or work-related situation.
Your place in the world is the focus for October’s power-packed influences. For some, this means career and for others the hopes and plans you have for the future. The 1st, 17th and 22nd are all dates when push comes to shove, and events open up new pathways. It is time to accept what can never be and what (and who) can provide you with a real and satisfying existence.
Both Jupiter and Saturn move direct, turning financial maybes into realities, so deals can be done or contracts ended. And one way or another, what happens during the course of October will end a pattern of life that has been in place since January 2020.
Finding the middle way is going to be key this September. There will be times when you feel pulled apart by events and the choices you should make, but unless you are prepared to walk away from someone or something, a compromise should be sought. Jaw-jaw is better than war-war.
The planetary focus is on two main areas – career and far-horizons – and it seems you have far to go in both senses of the phrase. Think of your long-term objectives, play the long game, and see any setbacks as temporary pitstops.
Mercury turns retrograde on the 27th so chase up missing information well before then.
Have you noticed that August often seems to be the month with a whole lot of money issues in it? There’s a reason. The Sun is moving through one of the key financial zones of your chart, so monetary facts need to be faced, shortfalls compensated for and fiscal relationships adjusted.
This year there looks to be some surprise elements in the mix. Other people may not be able to fulfil their promises and there could be extra costs involved with a project. It can all be coped with, but you need to be careful not to lose a friend in the process. Money talks and sometimes people walk.
It’s been a long six months, but at least some things are beginning to come together. And in whatever way you can make a fresh start it will inspire you onward and upward. A 🌑new moon (10th) marks the beginning of a six-month cycle for love and relationships, and this would be an ideal time to set the date or reaffirm your commitment to a partner.
Some ♑Capricorns, however, especially those with birthdays on or near the 15th January, could reach a watershed, and whether you are happily able move onto new ground or feeling forced to do so, there really is no choice: when Pluto is on your case, something’s gotta give!
A series of important alignments takes place, and in different areas of your solar chart, so while some ♑Capricorns will reach a relationship crossroads, others will be figuring out where they go from here in regard to career.
You have the power to make good choices, but when events come out of left field, they can temporarily knock the wind out of your sails. Especially on or near the 5th and 25th, avoid making a snap decision and wait until you know more about why things have turned out this way, and why someone appears to be making a U-turn. The situation may not be terminal.
There are two ways to look at a Mars transit of the relationship zone: you’re either the object of adoration or the focus of someone’s ire. And both may apply. Your love life could be better than ever, and a dry season about to become very fertile, but you may have a serious adversary. Work is the most likely arena for any challenges, so right from the get-go, make sure you do nothing to incite anyone’s spite or displeasure. Then again, this may be the right time to put an end to a cycle of behaviour that has been undermining you. The ♑Capricorn Goat has a decent set of horns. Events on the weekend of the 23rd help you make a good decision.
Until the 19th, the astro-focus is on home and family. New starts can be made, whether you’re bringing the family back together celebrating special events or making changes on the home front. Younger members of the family are in the spotlight, and it may be difficult to strike a balance between what is right to you and what is right for them…
Uranus, the light-bringer, dominates the second half of the month, so there will be unexpected developments and certain people won’t be in the mood to compromise. Only you can decide whether a love affair or a business relationship is worth all the ups and downs. Clearly, something has to change, and probably on or near the 27th.
March is all about communication: getting your ideas across, exchanging information and acquiring new and important knowledge. Using your imagination will help you get around obstacles and make progress in general. As you may have discovered over the past months, tried and tested ways don’t always work – you’ve got to think outside the box.
Whether Neptune’s other-worldly influence will prove to be a help or a hindrance rather depends, but if you feel you have lost your way or no longer have a firm grip on a situation, put yourself in a holding pattern until clarity is restored.
Jupiter’s passage through the zone of money and self-worth could be very good news this year. And while there will be other opportunities and other times to invest in your future, February is one of the best.
The week of the 22nd is ideal for reaching financial agreements and talking to the money people; and in general, later in the month, the climate will be helpful to your cause. Not that the rest of February is unhelpful or problematic, although there could be delays and diversions that get in the way of your confidence. Be ready to ditch an old strategy and go where you’ve never gone before.
Never has a new year had so much potential to bring long-awaited change. On the 3rd, you step out of Saturn’s shadow, and you may already sense a burden slipping from your shoulders. While you may be able to do nothing about other people’s actions, you can use these same ground-breaking influences to take a leap in the dark.
Mid-month supplies one or more of the reasons why you need to chart a new course, and the Sun-Jupiter conjunction of the 28th is the perfect time to take a major step. Your thinking might normally be to wait and see whether someone means what they say, but fight that inclination now and get moving and motivated.
On the 17th, raise the flag, have a party or just whisper a thank-you. Why? Because Saturn is leaving ♑your sign and won’t be back until 2047! It’s not that this planet hasn’t added to your lot in a good way but it has certainly brought more than its share of trials and tribulations.
From late December you will be in a new phase, and with Jupiter entering the zone of money and self-worth, one of the benefits of this new cycle will be financial improvements. With this in mind, push the boat out for the festivities – not only will this fill you with joy but you will find other people ready to make offers you won’t want to refuse.
The final Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (12th) marks the end of a long cycle of ups and downs, although it may take until Christmas before you feel you have really turned a corner.
The focus in November is on working as a team, whether with your significant other or colleagues and friends.
The 🌕lunar eclipse of the 30th is another factor that helps you draw a line under the past, first and foremost in regard to your job, and second to a lifestyle that has been less than satisfactory.
Events continue to call for big, bold actions, which not only empower you but show others you are a contender.
The Sun’s passage through the area of life-direction inspires long-awaited changes, although in some cases those changes may come as a surprise. Circumstances beyond anyone’s control could interfere with events, and alternatives will have to be sought. Whether this forecast applies to your job or your personal plans and ambitions, remain positive.
This is not the first time in 2020 that you’ve had to think outside the box and find new resources, so do the ♑Capricorn thing and redeploy your energies and assets. It’s only a question of time before life gets back on track, and what appears to be lost can be found or replaced.
Jupiter and Saturn both get back on track, and, in tandem, you should find one or more aspects of your existence falling into place. On the other hand, it may take a couple of “out there” events to get you reoriented. It’s going to be a tricky business, deciding what situations are still worth the investment of your time and energy and which are not, but if, on or near the 26th, the minus factors outweigh the pluses, cut your losses.
Home turf is where much of September’s influences are focussed, and it seems you may be returning to an old way of life or repeating a pattern that is all too familiar.
Aspects of your existence may still be up in the air, and it may take until the end of next month to settle matters. However, August’s events are getting you ever nearer that point.
On or near the 3rd, 🌕finances take top billing: contracts can be signed and ended, and major decisions taken about your financial future.
Venus is transiting the area of relating, on the one hand, enabling you to take a love affair or business partnership to the next level and, on the other, reach a conclusion about a relationship in trouble. The last week of the month is going to prove to be most eventful in this regard, and in general you’ll be leaving August lighter and more enlightened that when it began.
A 🌕lunar eclipse in ♑your sign mirroring that of mid-January takes you to another crossroads. Events of the past six months have led you to this point and now you must decide which way to go. The relationship axis is in play so other people have an impact on your actions and decisions.
🌕Eclipses are game-changers: it’s not always about what you can see and know, but what is hidden. So, there are almost certainly some factors you will not be aware of behind other people’s actions.
Still, with Jupiter and Pluto conjoined in ♑your sign, especially if you have a birthday between the 10th and 15th of January, you have to grab your destiny with both hands.
On the 21st the first of two 🌑🌕eclipses on the relationship axis takes place, and 🌑🌕eclipses are heralds of important developments. Should you meet someone new in June or July, that person will change your life in ways you couldn’t imagine, and if you’ve been dating for a while it’s time to put a ring on it!
Of course, nothing in life or astrology is that simple. With Mercury in retrograde from the 18th there could be unforeseen delays and completely random events could change plans that are set in stone. So, be flexible and philosophical. What’s meant to be will be.
Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards, and with Saturn and Jupiter turning retrograde a situation you believed was “in the bag” may encounter a problem. Circumstances over which you have no control may delay or even cancel an endeavour, and it may take until October before you feel you are once again moving onward and upward.
Pleasure and travel are also in the mix, and even a weekend-break (16th/17th) could make a positive difference to your outlook. Bringing new life into being is another theme for May, whether you are welcoming in new little people or completing a project that has been many moons in the making.
A 🌕full moon presides over the Easter celebrations, which is likely to lend a highly emotional note to any events. Endings and beginnings, closure and completion; these are the themes playing long and loud from the 6th – 14th. Indeed, the whole of April provides opportunities to bin the old and start anew.
On the 5th, Jupiter and Pluto meet for the first of three occasion this year: much may be demanded of you, whether in physical and emotional ways or in terms of finance and faith, but it will be so, so worth it. You may have had a bruising over recent years, but this is no reason to hold back when you have a chance to change your life for the better, even though this may not seem to be the case at the time.
March ends a challenging passage for ♑Capricorn. Mars in your sign will be going over old ground and bringing closure and certainly realism to one or more situations that have given you anxious moments over the past few months. It is time to eliminate the toxic and input the positive. Put a ring around the 20th because this is when that powerful process of re-birth begins. Be open to new opportunities, even if they involve a level of risk, and don’t wait for others to tell you what to do.
On the 22nd, Saturn leaves your sign for a three-month break, taking a weight off your shoulders and encouraging you to have faith in yourself and your ambitions.
Nothing worthwhile is achieved in a heartbeat and without effort. So, if you are reading this and wondering when life is going to start to improve, remind yourself of this old truism. As Saturn moves further away from Pluto, the pressure will dissipate and instead of walls of opposition you’ll find bridges across troubled waters.
On the 16th, Mars will enter your sign giving you the opportunity to fight back and to assert your opinions and wishes. It may be necessary to go back over paper-work and re-open a discussion, but there could be something tucked away in the past that will make a difference to your present circumstances. The end of February inspires revelations and reckonings.
Quite the rock and roll start to the year, although vertiginous might be a better description. The aftermath of the holiday season can be painful most years, but throw Saturn, Pluto and a 🌕lunar eclipse into the mix (10th – 13th) and you’ve got major transitions. While some ♑Capricorns may feel it is time to nail their romantic colours to the mast and propose, others may reach the opposite conclusion.
The events of January set you on a different course, not necessarily in regard to your whole life, but one aspect of it. Ideally, you need to feel empowered by your experience, confident in your actions and unfearful of the future.
The future is what you make it.
It’s taken twelve years for Jupiter to return to ♑your sign, so say a little prayer of thanks on the 2nd when this planet of growth enters ♑your sign. Not only Jupiter, but a 🌑solar eclipse on the 26th points to a change of fortune. Feel that wave of confidence coming your way, and grab every opportunity that arises.
This has been a hard and dispiriting year for many of team ♑Capricorn, and even if you don’t immediately see a sign of positive change, some of your efforts will achieve results in the months to come. Love is also looking very sparkly, and if you’re ready to take the plunge, what on earth’s stopping you!
The countdown begins. In just over a month Jupiter will enter ♑your sign and a season of growth and opportunity will begin. And this you need to keep in mind should certain situations come to an end in November.
The past must be cleared away for you to embrace the future. And you can participate in the process by getting rid of those things that have done their day, and the period on or near the 5th and 25th is the time to do so.
Preparation is all, of course, and first you may have to go over old ground and/or seek closure with someone. You should sense a change in the wind, but if not ask yourself what you’re refusing to acknowledge.
Are you the kind of ♑Goat that prefers the lower reaches of the mountains or the one who aims steadily for the pinnacle? Getting to the top of the mountain is October’s theme, as is recognizing when you’re better off sticking to the terrain you know and love. There will be challenges and reality checks – put the 7th and 13th in your diary – but all for the best of reasons.
For many ♑Capricorns this is the career month of the year, and you’ll know where you’re headed thereafter; for others the focus is on your place in the world in terms of your home. Whatever the results, they depend not so much on what you do now but what happened in the past.
Walking away from a problem may not be the solution, but setting sail from home base and acquiring distance and perspective is. And with a cluster of planets in the zone of widening horizons, it is time to throw on your backpack and see a little more of your world. Even a day away from routine could be enough for you to see there are avenues of possibility and resolution not yet explored.
On or near the 18th you should notice a shift in a long-standing situation. Certainly, this is a moment of truth. Never give up your ambitions: you simply need a little more time to achieve them.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could stop the world, take a pause and rethink a few things. Better still, rewind time. Well, even ♑Capricorns are not super-heroes so you’ll have to make do with a couple of “duvet-days” and a social-media de-tox.
What you’ll come up with in the space could be enlightening to say the least and life-changing at best. It may be possible to go back to someone who rejected you or rework a project that failed, so drop the pride or the fear and make that move.
From the 23rd new horizons open up and the further you’re prepared to go, the more you have to gain.
This may not be the fun month of the year, but it does have meaning, purpose and the potential to turn around a long-standing situation. Two eclipses (2nd and 16th) mirror those of late December and early January, so you may be seeing the culmination of plans laid some months ago or another development that has its roots earlier in the year.
July’s events have an aura of finality about them and they may well set you on a new course, should that prove necessary. And if you’ve being struggling to make a decision, the answer will be in plain sight.
The plus to Mars’ transit of the relationship zone is that you will be in no doubt who loves you and who does not; the minus is that if you meet with opposition it will be stiff, and regardless how in the right you may be, it could be better to give way. Live to fight another day.
Both June and July are crucial months for ♑Capricorn, and both red and green flags should be taken seriously; plans should be laid down should possibilities become realities. Love and the workplace go together, whether you are rewarded for your hard work or romance blossoms across a crowded office space. And tooting your own horn won’t do you any harm either.
May is one of the best months for team ♑Capricorn. The Sun is highlighting the zone of creativity urging you to put pleasure before work and responsibility. And you know what they say about all work and no play… Forget about taking familiar routes and doing what others expect you to do: show them your wild side or at least your spontaneous side.
Whether you’re beginning a new work venture, enjoying new activities or giving birth in the literal or figurative sense, you are moving into a more rewarding phase. And even if you believe romance is for the birds, it may be for you too. Other than the period around the 9th when not everyone will be behaving well, the sun and all the planets are smiling on you.
Home, family and the foundations of the future are the subject of your stars. And it seems abandoning tradition and embracing new ideas is the way to go. Saturn is over half-way through its transit of your sign so there is still plenty of time for your efforts to bear fruit, but you must be clear what is a waste of time and what is worthy of your continuing labours. Events around the 8th, 12th and 24th should help in your decision-making here.
Easter could be the setting for an important announcement and this latter part of the month is packed with movement and change. Don’t allow the past to get in the way of the future.
Three months into 2019 and the climate is altogether different. What may have seemed entirely unacceptable in January now has a few virtues. Time, as they say, changes everything.
Nonetheless, it may prove worthwhile to go back to a situation that ended or changed some months ago with a view to seeing whether some or even all aspects of it can be redeemed. At the very least, the journey over old ground will settle your mind.
When you see the full moon standing bright in the night sky on the 21st, take the opportunity to reflect how far you’ve come in twelve months: regrets have no place in your next chapter.
Venus spends the entire month in your sign, bringing her powers of protection, unity and fairness to your existence. This planet is not a magic bullet, of course, and you may still have to deal with people who are digging their heels in or refusing to be impressed by your ideas.
You may want to avoid a head to head near the 17th and 23rd but if you come up against a wall of opposition or even a minor refusal, a tactical withdrawal with a view to keeping a door open is your best strategy.
There is more than a little element of fate to those things that come through or fall by the wayside now, as you will see as the year goes by. Like icebergs, what you see on the surface belies what is underneath.
2019 gets off to a flying start, quite literally for some Capricorns who could be boarding a plane to and from distant places. It is the 6th’s solar eclipse in your sign that holds such rich potential for a great opening to the year. Events may act as a spur to get you moving on plans that have been in the pipeline for a while or you may suddenly be inspired to make a big change. And please don’t look back. If you do not act now you will lose the momentum and may never fulfil that treasured objective.
You probably don’t need your astrologer to point out that a financial awakening could be in store, probably, on or around the 21st, but this is yet another opportunity to eliminate the dead wood and start afresh. However you slice it, dice it, chop it or shred it this is a promising beginning.
You may feel out of step with everyone else. All the excitement and extravagance of the holiday season appears to be going over your head. On the one hand, you need rest and relaxation, and, on the other, you should share your worries with people you trust. It’s no use crossing your fingers and toes in the hopes that a relationship in trouble will sail through the celebrations: far better to confront the elephant in the living room before the 25th.
As soon as the Sun enters Capricorn (21st) you’ll be ready to party or at least sample the Christmas spirit. The 22nd could be a very special date for some and this is quite the moment to take your marriage vows or make a lasting decision about a relationship.
Capricorn tends to see the glass half empty rather too often, but fight such instincts. See the greatest potential in situations and allow your positive energy to impress others. Team work gets the job done, and if you have been thinking about the benefits of collaborating with people on a business project, think no more: set up a meeting, preferably before the 17th so that your ideas have the best possible chance of materializing.
From the 22nd the Sun will be in its most obscure position making you a little more emotionally and physically vulnerable: take a little more rest and allow the unconscious mind to reveal its secrets by way of dreams and powerful intuitions.
After many months in retrograde, Pluto in your sign turns direct, and with it comes closure and completion. Events in October should show you where you stand, and from that point you can move forward steadily and surely.
Capricorn often prefers a behind-the-scenes role, but this is a period of the year in which to claim your power and reveal to others you are a contender. While for some Capricorns getting ahead career-wise is on the agenda for others this upwardly-mobile theme relates to personal aims and desires. Should a project hit a stumbling block or someone pull out of a commitment it is not necessarily the end of the road: rework it, replace people and by December you should be back on track.
Going far is September’s astral theme, whether you travel to distant parts, add to your skills’ set or stretch yourself in physical or emotional ways. As they say, no risk, no reward, Capricorn.
For much of the month you have the wind in your sails, but come the last week you’re going to need all your stamina and resourcefulness to cope with a trying situation. Saturn and a full moon bring reality to bear, in some cases enabling you to set a project in cement but in others making for a disappointing result. Should you be less than thrilled with events in late September, remind yourself that there’s no one better at turning an obstacle into an opportunity.
You’re in the deeps of the eighth house for much of August, a place where intimacies are shared and profound truths discovered. For some Capricorns this will be welcome news: a new relationship grows stronger and plans for a shared future are on the table; for others, fears, especially regarding money, become more acute.
In the event you fall into the latter group, those fears are almost certainly disproportionate to the reality and as soon as the Sun enters the zone of far horizons you’re going get a handle on the situation. Indeed, actions taken and events that occur on or near the 24th could represent a sea-change – and in a good way.
The solar eclipse of the 13th falls on your relationship axis, and takes you back to last Christmas and January this year. Perhaps you met someone then or put together the elements of a major plan so that you are now about to see the result.
July enables you to open up another avenue in your life, and whether you do this on your own accord or the cosmos gives you a mighty shove, it will be a good thing. Likewise, if a relationship hits a rut in the road, while you can attempt to right a wrong, if there is nothing reasonable you can do, leave it alone. There is more than an element of fate to July’s developments, and it is in your best interests to wait and see what unfolds over the next three months.
Six months ago you may have made a decision or begun a project which is now ready to deliver. Perhaps a relationship began or plans involving a partnership were laid down, but whatever links these two time periods a harvest of some description can be expected.
On or near the 6th a matter requires you dig deep whether for solutions or emotional responses – half-way measures will not do the job - and you will have the satisfaction of knowing you gave your all. Another date for your diary is the 28th when the only full moon in Capricorn this year takes place, empowering you and setting the stage for closure and completion.
Change for the better is on its way. Uranus enters your fifth house of creativity, where, over the course of the next few years, it will help you bring new things into being, whether we’re talking business enterprises or romance. And if you’re a December Cappy, you may well get your first taste of the new and the different this May. Certainly, mid-month brings epiphanies, on the one hand, and alterations to plans, on the other.
On the 19th, Venus begins to work her magic on relationships in general and your love life in particular and if you’re looking to set a romance on a long-term footing choose the weekend of the 25th. By the end of May, you should have made at least one exceedingly important decision. And from little acorns, oak trees grow.
It may be spring according to the calendar, but there are still some sharp frosts in Capricorn land. If a project or association grinds to a halt, it may be redeemable so, don’t throw in the towel before you have explored your options. Negotiation is far better than negation!
The first few days of April could prove particularly trying, but the weekend of the 14th is full of bright potential: events should lead to some very happy outcomes.
On the 18th, Saturn turns retrograde inviting you to reconsider one or two of the decisions you made around Christmas and New Year. Certainly, there is a positive purpose behind any delays and rethinks. To every season there is a time…
It is all very well giving a situation time to come together but there should be a deadline on when that is. If by the 17th nothing has moved, take control. What you don’t want to do is miss that window of opportunity when your input could make all the difference.
At the end of March a series of powerful alignments could bring about a much desired event or it could throw a plan into the shredder. Pay attention to signs and signals that could alert you to the fact that a project or association is stumbling. Indeed, if there is a major theme running through the month it is prevention is better than cure.
Love and money do not always go hand in hand, but you could be on the receiving end of a double bonus this month. An impressive gathering in the zone of self-worth could confirm what you have long hoped for: that certain people value your skills and, more importantly, you personally. And they are prepared to back you. There is an unusual element to events mid-month, and especially on the weekend of the 17th, magic and muddles could be in equal supply. Regardless how well you may have planned an event, leave a little wiggle room, and work on the theory that the universe knows what it's doing, and your job is to trust the process.
It's a new day, a new year and a new dawn. Saturn is now a force to be reckoned with and crossing your fingers and toes in the hopes that something will or will not happen is not a strategy. Events on and around the 9th show you clearly what is working and what isn’t, and decisive action is necessary.
Likewise, the end of the month inspires realizations and reckonings, most probably of the financial or relationship kind. If you are dissatisfied with your job or cuts are being made, seize the opportunity to change career course, even to go it alone. Leaving it another year to get on track with your dreams and ambitions will be to miss this great astrological wave.
If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear a drum roll emanating from the cosmos. It announces the arrival of Saturn in your sign (21st). As a child of Saturn you tend to come into your own under this planet’s guidance, so for the next two and a half years you could see your star rise. With this in mind, it is not only the tree you should be trimming this Christmas but your expense account. Keep costs down, and get rid of time-wasting practices.
Some Capricorns will be making a romantic proposal this December, others celebrating lasting love. And for a few it will be obvious that a relationship has done its day. Start 2018 clean and clear. You have far to go.
Mixing business with pleasure is the theme of the month, and there could be some particularly successful outcomes on or near the 10th. So, be the party animal you always wanted to be, or at least get out more! While the overall trend is for growth and progress, not everything is as plain-sailing as it might be, especially around the 19th.
Go all out for your ambitions and desires but if someone appears resistant to your charms, back off. There may well be hidden factors at the base of any rejection or hold-up. Only if you are in full possession of the facts, should you press on regardless. Plus, a decision made on or near the 28th will be difficult to reverse.
2017 may be going down as the year you're never likely to forget, and October's events could top the list of reasons why. On the one hand, there are signs of success, and this is definitely the time to get behind your talents and ambitions, but it is also possible that your efforts of recent months will not have the desired result.
The weeks of the 9th and the 15th require a stiff upper lip and the ability to adapt to an unexpected set of circumstances. As always, aim to negotiate: you may find there is more wiggle room in a situation than you thought. Towards the end of October, affairs of the heart acquire a higher priority and it may be that the time has come to do all for love.
This would be the perfect month to take a well-deserved break. Distant shores beckon, although these same influences could instead find you focussed on your long-term personal and professional horizons. The celestial Goat is a sure-footed creature - you take few uncalculated risks - but this is the time to cross new frontiers in the pursuit of your ambitions.
On or near the 28th there are signs of a breakthrough, yet if you are ready to leave a job that is going nowhere or a relationship that is saggy at the seams, board this Jupiter-Uranus rocket to planet opportunity. Hyperbole, aside, whatever comes out of left field late in the month, treat it as a spur to future success.
The effects of an eclipse are often life-changing – and in a good way. However, at the time it may seem entirely otherwise. Relationships are in the mainframe and a wedding or engagement could be on the cards. Not usually someone who acts in the heat of the moment, push has come to shove for some Capricorns: situations you believed you could live with can no longer be supported and decisions of the heart are made in a nanosecond.
Money could also be the focus for these transformational influences – an unexpected bonus or an unplanned expense – and if ever there was a time for a major overhaul of your finances it is this August.
With Mars in the seventh house you definitely know who loves you, but also who does not! So, we can roughly divide the Capricorn camp into two – those for whom July is a celebration of love and success and those who seem to be facing opposition at almost every turn.
If this turns out to be you, rather than dig your toes in and fight fire with fire, use the element of surprise to disarm your foes and take an unexpected, untried route to get around an impasse. By being prepared to diversify and make the most of a new set of circumstances you will end the month not just a better person, richer for your experience, but a whole lot nearer your ultimate goals. Turn those obstacles into opportunities.
Anyone would think Mercury was retrograde, but, no: communications are the source of confusion due to Neptune’s slippery grip on life and love. Double check your information, take notes and insist on facts, not just vague statements.
Work is the focus for many of June’s mysteries and muddles, although a developing romance could also be causing you to lose track of reality. Just reminding yourself of this trend could be enough to prevent you from making an error or mis-reading the signals. The new moon of the 24th marks the beginning of a fresh chapter, first and foremost for your love life. From this point until late July some of the most important decisions of the year will be made.
Pleasurable pursuits, creative enterprisers and a little more you-time are on the agenda. And after months of incubation a new “baby” could be born – perhaps quite literally in some cases. You have a greater ability to influence your affairs now and you should not underestimate the force of your personality and passion to change the course of a situation. The adage: faint heart never won fair lady, comes to mind.
Good news on the home and family front can be expected on or near the 20th, and you should choose this period to make your most ambitious and heartfelt moves. A small dose of the Monday-morning-blues (29th) must not be allowed to spoil an otherwise brilliant month.
While 2017 is a lot easier on the Capricorn Goat, the year does have its moments; and one of those moments is likely to arise in April, probably on or near the 9th or 20th. With this in mind, do your best to hold a discussion early in the month with a view to ironing out problems and making contingency plans.
This is not to say that a special occasion or a major endeavour is bound to encounter difficulties; more that peace of mind can be gained by such tactics. There is a sense that everything will work out for the best, which on the one hand should boost your confidence and hopes, yet in the event of a hitch you will know that it is a simply a means to a better end.
Your eyes may already be focussed on events set to take place during the last ten days of March, but if you have nothing on your agenda, fasten your seat belts. This could prove to be the most eventful and opportunity-laden period of 2017.
In nine months’ time Saturn will enter your sign helping you turn dreams into realities but also revealing where there are shortfalls, so should there be signs that a job, a plan or an association may be in trouble, March is the month to take action.
Be the trail-blazer not the also-ran; fire your ambitions, don’t quash them. Take something a chance now and you will be laying down the foundations of your future happiness and success.
Money may not be the most important thing in life but it’s right at the top of the agenda now. Settlements can be reached, contracts signed and positive changes to your income experienced. However, if you’ve been juggling funds in order to stay afloat, you’re going to have your work cut out maintaining the balance.
The lunar eclipse of the 11th represents a tipping point: a financial pattern is ending and tough decisions need to be made. And, although tough decisions may not be fun at the time, they will inspire growth – a trend that will apply equally well to affairs of the heart.
Late in the month, an opportunity could arise that promises to take you into new professional or personal territory. Why would you turn it down?
No one is going anywhere fast as 2017 opens. Whether it's the weather, problems with transport or simply the time of year, putting yourself in chill mode is advised. By the 9th it'll be back to business with a vengeance. Indeed, this week has some surprises in store and you may feel someone's actions are unacceptable placing a temporary or permanent freeze on the relationship.
January is the month to face realities if you intend to maximize your success and fulfil your New Year resolutions, and should you have to cut your losses, so be it - new avenues of income and/or new alliances will fill any vacuum. Your most positive discussions and negotiations should take place on or near the 20th.
For the past few years Uranus and Pluto have been your guests for Christmas, but at last you are free to enjoy yourself without wondering what unwelcome surprise is just around the corner. There is a feeling of being in a new place, whether in the real sense of another home or in the psychological way of a new mind-set.
The Capricorn new moon (29th) is the signature on a fresh start, and even if you have nothing planned to take you in new directions this is the date upon which to take the first real step in fulfilling your deepest desires. Positive financial developments are also in the mix, and pushing the boat out on New Year's Eve is strongly recommended.
A month with Venus in your sign is a good thing. Venus brings a certain sweetness to life, if not the sweet scent of success. So, do not spend too much time arranging all those ducks in row but seize the moment.
It is the latter part of the month that contains the most dynamic influences, which can be used to further your cause, whether for business, finance or romance, however it is equally possible that out of the blue an opportunity arises. By contrast, you may feel you have done enough cutting of the ties that bind and accepting less is more, but in the event of a fait accompli such actions will be your best way forward.
Jupiter has your back and surprisingly positive developments come out of upsets.
Mars in your sign can be a proverbial blessing and a curse. On the one hand, your energy is up and your ability to conquer hearts, minds and the opposition ten times greater, but, on the other hand, conflicts can occur and you may feel your life is something of a battle ground. Particularly on or near the 15th and 20th, steer clear of people whose buttons are easy to press and aim to negotiate as opposed to giving or accepting an ultimatum.
The full moon of the 16th represents both an ending and a beginning, first and foremost in regard to the home and second to your career and status. On reflection you will come to see that October was the most pivotal month of 2016. Onward and upward.
Your horizons are expanding. Travelling to distant parts could be on the agenda or you may be engaged in discussions intended to open up your personal and professional world. Think big, Capricorn, because you are guaranteed to get further in the long run.
On the 9th, Jupiter arrives at the highest point of your solar chart where it will continue to advance your hopes and ambitions until October 2017.
With Mercury in retrograde until the 21st there could be delays, cancellations and general inconveniences, but do not allow such things to dampen your optimism.
The weekend of the 24th and the following week represent a high-point in the Capricorn calendar - expect the best and put your best foot forward.
Finances may be only part of life and not all of it but in August money and assets are your number one priority. The lunar eclipse of the 18th ends a long financial cycle, which may be very good news if you've been one of those Capricorns faced with constant shortfalls. New agreements with lenders could be struck and contracts signed with employers or in regard to a property. However, in a few cases, it will be apparent that a wait-and-see policy is not going to work, and radical moves will have to be made to stabilize your financial position.
Fortunately, in a matter of weeks growth-oriented Jupiter will arrive in the zone of career and your material world providing opportunities for you to recover losses and move up the ladder of success.
You may be the rock of the zodiac but that doesn't mean you don't need other people, and July is all about the good, the bad and the randomness of love and relationships. Some Capricorns may be marrying; others could be falling suddenly and madly in love while a few will reach the conclusion the party is finally over.
The full moon in your sign (19th) could be the moment you arrive at a major conclusion, although events on or near the 7th and 16th may well play a significant part. But whatever comes or goes, trust the process: allowing yourself to be borne along by the inevitability of events is easier than resisting them. In six months time you will be able to make some adjustments, but regrets there should be none.
While the first half of the month may prove a lot of hard work, life becomes sweeter and sweeter from the 17th. The area of relationships is basking in the light of Venus, making the second part of June and early July a premium period for weddings and engagements. If it seems you have been waiting forever for someone to pop the question or invite you out, wait no more - you do the asking!
Getting the great triumvirate to deliver the goods at the same time is often an impossible task: when romance and personal life are in the pink, finances and work can be in the doldrums and vice versa; with this in mind, there could be some difficult moments at work and rumours of cutbacks and unwelcome changes may spoil an otherwise sunny, sunny month.
Fun may not have been on the Capricorn menu for a while, but it is finally here. You could be taking a vacation, spending time with people who and on activities that make your heart sing or you may feel that a weight has lifted from your shoulders and the world is looking a whole lot brighter.
Do not underestimate your ability to influence certain situations; you may have been rejected before or had cold water poured over your ideas, but a positive, self-confident approach can achieve results now. Choose the week of the 24th to make one of your boldest moves because something good will come out of your efforts. Indeed, May as a whole could prove to be a month of turnarounds and fresh starts.
No one understands better than you the importance of putting in firm foundations, and April is all about attending to the roots of life. In some cases this means there will be all-important family occasions and domestic matters to attend to, and in others a home move could be on the agenda. Setting new projects on a solid basis will give you a sense of finally getting somewhere and your advice may be sought by others who are trying to get an endeavour rolling or require help with a partnership matter.
Try not to overreact if mid-month a situation you had high hopes for takes a nose-dive or an event has to be placed on hold; the journey you will make during the next five months should change your priorities and your allegiances making some of your present goals redundant.
A change of perspective is required. You can acquire distance and objectivity by travelling to different places or by removing yourself from the heart of a situation and seeing it from a different angle. And getting away from it all is the answer to many of life's conundrums.
The week of the 21st could turn out to be one for the memory books: a long-standing matter could be settled and a new order begun, however for some Capricorns it will become obvious that someone is no longer content with the way things are. And that person could be you. You may not want to rock the boat but putting up with a situation you do not like is detrimental to your health and your future. Say what you mean; do what you believe to be right for you; it will empower you; it may even turn your life around.
Venus continues to shine brightly for team Capricorn, so if you haven't yet set a plan in motion do so before the 17th. The days around the 5th could be important for a love relationship, or indeed a project that involves your heart and soul, and while there may be unexpected developments at this time, it is also the right moment to allow passion to direct your course. If you think too much about a situation you will lose the momentum, and the plot!
Finances are also in high focus, and a discussion with a bank or lending institution could make a positive difference to your monetary position.
Towards the end of the month travel takes priority, whether you are getting away from home base or dealing with boats, planes and all things that take you where you want to go.
The year may get off to a stuttering start so try not to give yourself a big agenda to fulfil. Use the time to review and research and recharge your batteries; by the 25th you'll be on fire or at least heading in the right direction. Until then people could be away from their desks and information you need will be hard to come by.
With this in mind, on or near the 5th or 9th a surprise development could appear to threaten the future of a romantic or working relationship, and in general this is a volatile period. While a situation may indeed be in jeopardy, with Mercury in retrograde, there could be changes of heart later in the month. Indeed reversals and re-thinks could play a large part in January's narrative.
It may seem as if everyone else is having fun and making progress and you are in the weeds, but this is only because the Sun is making its annual journey through the twelfth house and turning your thoughts more inward. By the 22nd you will have your happy face back on and you will be ready to join the party.
This having been said, over Christmas and New Year you may well have important decisions on your mind which you intend to activate in January; even so, do your best to throw yourself into events during the holiday period since you could make some valuable new connections. Some Capricorns will be attending a wedding and with a full moon on the relationship axis (25th) closure and completion is a major theme this Christmas.
Capricorn the Rock is usually the one to support and direct others, normally the individual who stands alone, but November offers you the chance to discover the benefits of group effort. Share your ideas with others, ask for assistance and be open to new personal and professional alliances. Network like crazy. It may be that initially little will appear to come out of your efforts but by mid-January it could be a whole other story.
The week of the 16th has much to offer in the way of fresh starts, and for some Capricorns a steamy encounter is on the menu. Certainly, you get to discover who loves you and who does not. Health requires a little more attention, and if you are worried about an old injury or a persistent problem have it checked out well before the 24th.
Much as you may prefer to dictate your course it seems the universe is doing it for you again. The recent lunar eclipse could have brought the curtain down on a chapter of life so that much of October will be spent regrouping and revising. However inconvenient the changes thrust upon you may be, from now on you should make greater progress, whether we're talking romantic and personal affairs or finances and the material world.
An opportunity presenting itself on or near the 12th could in some cases change your life so follow your intuition and don't allow people talk you out of it - they have their agendas... The weekend of the 25th would be perfect for a romantic break-away or simply to kiss and make-up.
Are you ready to spread your wings? Whether you are off on your travels or endeavouring to get a major endeavour off the ground, the further you go the more you'll gain. Always a planner, your thoughts should now be concentrated on the long term, with the understanding that quick fixes and temporary highs are not part of the plan. You may receive an offer that will take you to a distant place, and although you do not want to throw caution entirely to the winds, forcing yourself out of your comfort zone is the way to succeed.
The total lunar eclipse of the 28th marks the end of a two-year cycle, one which may have produced set-backs and periodic crises: this trend might not disappear overnight but it is on its way out.
August's stars give you time off for good behaviour. Put another way, the alignments favour team Capricorn so you should take the opportunity to enjoy life. On the other hand, since you have few impediments to your progress, now might be an excellent time to tackle a large task or deal with an issue that could have powerful implications for your future.
The week of the 21st puts the wind in your sails -- in some cases quite literally -- so feel confident about special occasions already in the diary and if someone makes you an offer do not take too long to consider it -- it may be the best you get for a long time to come. 2015 has been a hard year but August makes it all worthwhile, even if you cannot believe it at the time.
The Capricorn full moon (2nd) is one of the year's power points, and actions taken then and events that occur inspire closure and completion; simmering issues may also come to boiling point. There have been occasions earlier this year, as there will be later, for you to make the kind of moves that represent life landmarks -- and we're looking at mid-July in particular. A relationship could be the focus for these transformational influences, with some of you making the ties that bind with your significant other or joining an organization. However, Pluto-Uranus angles can also cause ruptures, so for a few Capricorns what was in place at the start of July might not be there by the end of it! Not that this should set off all the alarm bells. You cannot begin a new stage of your life without leaving something of your past behind.
You should be comfortable with putting in the infrastructures regarding matters of a practical kind but maybe not so much with things of a romantic or personal nature. And this is an ideal time to set up the rules of engagement. It is extremely difficult to put a stop to a practice that started at the beginning of a relationship or enterprise, so if you are planning to move in with a partner or starting a business venture, the expectations and the rules should be laid out.
From July onwards the area of relationships will receive some of the most important alignments of the year, so time spent in preparation will not be wasted. This is also a good month for money matters: some Capricorns could receive an unexpected bonus and others will be reaping the benefits of wise investments.
May brings out the sunshine in you! It's time to put things of the heart, pleasure and creativity on top of the list and rediscover your child-within. 2015 has been a long, hard slog for most Capricorns and you've earned your moment in the sun. Now, this may not mean that every difficulty is magically cleared up but it does imply that you have a real chance of resolving a problem simply by changing your attitude to it. A shift in your thinking will change the energy surrounding a situation, and you may be surprised at how simply things come together.
On the 7th Venus arrives in the area of relationship setting the stage for some important romantic developments. Wedding bells could be in the air and if you're single and seeking a new romantic interest could appear.
Whether or not you can see the total lunar eclipse of the 4th, it is brightening up the zone of career and life-direction and spelling change, if you're ready for it. Should playing safe no longer be a workable strategy, it's time to follow your passion. And this advice could equally well apply to a relationship. While walking away from a responsibility is not to be taken lightly, suffering in silence is not a practice that can continue without consequences -- even the Capricorn rock can be worn away in time. Something to think long and hard about over the Easter weekend.
Networking could prove highly successful and interviews and discussions held on or near the 21st should help you make the kind of progress you've been seeking for some while.
Refusing to reveal your hand may be a good strategy in a game of poker, but, under these stars, unless you inform people of your intentions in good time, you could lose more than your advantage. Something to consider especially during the first week of the month. If you see a chink of light in a previously difficult situation, go towards it; if someone makes you an offer, don't dither, and should you be seriously interested in someone make your move. Seizing the moment has rarely been more important.
On the down side, on and around the 5th and 11th unexpected developments could interfere with your plans, and in some cases a situation will come to an end, but you should see this as a necessary step in a journey that is taking you toward your dreams.
Love and money play an equal part on February's star agenda. Ideally this is a time of completion, although it could also become clear that a situation is no longer sustainable. Regarding finances, avoid over-extending yourself in the hopes that a deal will take place in the future: keep your projections low, examine the worst case scenario and then make your decision. Where a relationship is concerned, the weekend of the 14th looks to be a watershed with some Capricorns making the ties that bind and others feeling disappointed and discouraged. In the event of the latter scenario, bide your time: aspects in late March and early April could well change the direction of a relationship, if not a lot more besides.
You start the year off with a potentially life-changing decision. Normally Capricorn is conservative and cautious but you are ready to try radical new measures to get your life on track. And there is no time like the first week of January to take those initial steps. It may also be that an unexpected development has the same effect of sending you in a whole other direction.
In whatever way the epiphanies come, lose no time acting on them: from the 20th you are likely to run into road blocks, whether of the real or metaphorical kind. Finance is a major feature of the month with some Capricorns signing up to new agreements and exchanging contracts while others could face something of a cash-flow crisis. However, not only for financial reasons, get promises on paper and keep chasing people for answers and confirmations.
You may know what you want and what is best for all concerned, but other people need to be part of the decision-making. Allow others their sovereignty and watch what happens. The 🌑new moon of the 1st begins a six-month cycle for love and relationships, whether a new romance lies ahead or a love affair is poised to become a long-term commitment. Endings and beginnings, the eternal cycle.
While Christmas is the most romantic period of the year for some celestial ♊Twins, for others it’s all about doing the deal and ensuring your professional and financial future.
Preparation is all. This may not be the most exciting month of 2024 but it could be the most purposeful. Aside from checking that all systems are functioning at their best – and that includes health of mind, body and spirit – you could be putting in the building blocks of new projects and adding to your bank of skills.
Rumours of change in the workplace could be confirmed and although you may not be thrilled with developments mid-month, they will serve to release you from a situation you have been struggling with for a while. Onward and starward.
Jupiter’s transit of ♊your sign brings success, happiness and opportunities to expand your life, and if thus far joys have been thin on the ground, there are still eight months left. On the 9th, Jupiter turns retrograde and in the coming weeks, a lost opportunity could reappear and projects that have stalled, be restarted. It is also possible that you have come too far too soon and you need to play catch up for a while. Certainly, this is no time to despair that nothing good ever happens to you. Creativity and collaboration are the buzz words for October, and patience and trust your handmaids.
With Jupiter more than half-way through ♊your sign, already you may have experienced some great good fortune or at least seen signs of success to come. Now is the time to reboot your confidence and faith in the future, despite or because of events this September. Saturn and Neptune are in poll position making dreams come true or sending you back to square one.
Throw in a 🌕lunar eclipse (18th) and you have a recipe for breakthroughs and landmark developments. For some ♊Geminis major career moves are in view; for others events on the home front amount to a fresh start.
♊Gemini thrives on movement and change, especially when you’re in charge of where you go and what you do. August, however, is all about the unscheduled and the uncharted. Sound like fun? For the most part the people you meet and the experiences you have will add to your bank of happiness, but there’s a chance you’ll run into a spot of bother mid-month. Nothing you can’t handle, but if you’re travelling or mixing and mingling, you’ll need to be ready to adapt to sudden and unexpected developments.
After the 28th, communications improve and people will be back on board or at least in touch.
First Jupiter and now Mars enters ♊your sign, picking up the pace and urging you to be adventurous and courageous. Whatever you have lined up will not turn out exactly as planned, although in most instances that’s going to be a serious plus.
Normally, ♊Geminis like to keep their options open but you may have no choice other than to nail your colours to the mast. Whether for financial reasons or for the sake of something or someone you value, you’re going to have to stand up and be counted. It’s good to discover that you really do have what it takes.
You’re about to realize how great it is to have Jupiter in ♊your sign. Every cloud will have a silver lining, even if you can’t see it at the time. Good news and great opportunities are coming your way over the course of the next twelve months.
Saturn hasn’t left the cosmos, however, so don’t be surprised if you meet with an obstacle to your hopes and dreams around the 8th or 17th. Keep on keeping on is the remedy for any setback; that and recognizing who and what is not worth your time and effort.
Don’t wait too long to address a financial matter. By the 22nd it could be too late.
On the 26th, Jupiter enters ♊your sign and embarks a year-long cycle of growth and opportunity. At least one of your ships is set to come in during the months ahead. With this in mind, don’t fall at the first fence: if someone rejects you, assume it is because something (or someone) better is around the corner. On the other hand, if a situation is getting out of control, particularly one with financial implications, aim to put a stop to it. Realities are best faced on or near the 17th. May might not be perfect but it’s got its share of beautiful moments. Indeed, the weekend of the 25th has romance written all over it.
There will be times when you have control of the board but April probably isn’t one of them. Not only is the focus on collaborations (your turn to star comes later in the year) but some of the grandest alignments of the year will preside over events of great significance. Aside from big dates already in your diary, there could be developments that get in the way of everyday life.
Mercury will be in retrograde until the 25th making for missteps, missed messages and mix-ups in general. A misunderstanding with a friend or colleague is just that – a miscommunication.
With all the personal planets in the zone of career and life-direction, what happens in March is likely to have a major effect on your future. Whether you have plans in place for a celebration or some other happy event, they won’t be the only reason that this is a stand-out month. People could be making you offers you won’t want to refuse and you may be exposed to situations that completely transform your prospects.
Then again, some ♊Geminis may discover that not everyone is a big fan. As always with the making or breaking of a bond, unless your heart is in it, it won’t succeed.
It’s time you saw a little bit more of your world. And it’s time you looked at the bigger picture. Whatever January brought in the way of realizations and reckonings, you have places to go, in both real and metaphorical terms, and it all starts with discovering what is essential for the future and what is peripheral. A big part of this process involves a relationship.
Do you have the right people with you going forward or is there someone who is holding you back. Whether for love, money, success or survival, February is a pivotal month. Not that there isn’t plenty of joy on offer too.
The year opens with Venus in the zone of relating angling Saturn. On the one hand, a relationship matter can be settled and a happy ending in view but, on the other, the reality of a situation may inspire an ending of an altogether different nature. It may be too soon to assume a relationship is all over bar the shouting, but in order to keep it going a lot of soul searching and preparedness to change will be necessary.
The month as a whole provides opportunities to make major life changes, and they’ll be easier to accomplish by setting emotions to one side and focussing on the realities.
Are you ready to make a commitment to the future? A 🌑new moon (12th) signals a new alliance or a new beginning for a long-standing relationship. Although this period holds the promise of great things to come, the cosmos is nonetheless sending mixed messages: a project may stall, events be delayed and people go back on their word.
Do not despair. Once Mercury gets back on track in January, things could change yet again. The run up to New Year has Neptune’s tentacles draped all over it: high romance for some; baffling developments for others. ‘Tis the season to be accepting.
One thing you can say about November, it’s not dull. Surprising, thrilling even, but definitely not dull. Work is the focus for the unusual and the unexpected, although long-awaited changes could also occur. Hard work does not always pay off but under these stars if you don’t put in the work, you could lose out. Saturn is putting you through your paces, seemingly getting in the way of your hopes and plans, but in reality, time and timing is the issue.
The 🌕full moon of the 27th is the only one this year in ♊your sign. It inspires closure and completion.
Getting creative is the route to happiness and the answer to more than one problem. Aside from enjoying activities that increase your heartbeat and release endorphins, new projects brought into being have the capacity to change your life in ways you could never have imagined.
Two 🌑eclipses make this a month for the memory books. A love affair could reach a crossroads and a situation that has gone this way and that for many moons may finally be settled.
October represents a turning point; it isn’t a particularly easy month, but when was achieving anything of merit easy.
The astrological focus is on the roots of life and the foundations of the future. New beginnings come in all shapes and sizes, and whether you are behind moves to reinvent aspects of your existence or out of the blue events necessitate changes at root level, you are going to benefit from them. There can be no growth without change.
Mid-month may produce doubts and uncertainties, but unless and until you have ironclad evidence, treat negative information with a pinch of salt. On or near the 29th, a break from the past is recommended.
♊Geminis thrive on variety and change and August is packed with the stuff. Travel is on the agenda — long distance for some, full of far-reaching consequences for others – and even small journeys could take you where you didn’t expect to go. Journeys for love, loving reunions and finding love away from home are also in view.
There is a sense of an ending, especially around the 2nd and 31st, whether you’ve reached the end of a project or a relationship has run its course. And what happens when a chapter ends? A new one begins, in this case in a strange and unexpected way.
Finding the balance is July’s starry theme. Finances could be in the mix, whether you’re in the fortunate position of making good money or having to cut your losses, and you may find other parts of your life are also at extremes. It is simply not possible to have it all: something’s gotta give and you may not have any choice over what that is.
Rationalizations of one sort or another are on the agenda, but once done, you’re going to feel a weight drop from your shoulders. None of this is to be feared, by the way, but to be welcomed as part of the transition into a new and exciting part of your life.
The sun may be out and you ready to enjoy all the activities and events on offer but there’s still a need for the occasional reality check. With both Saturn and Pluto in retrograde, events in the past may return to be re-examined and the odd issue could arise that gets in the way of all the fun. The weekend of the 17th has stardust sprinkled all over it, and whether you have a special date in the diary or events conspire to make it happen, you’ll be opening a new personal chapter, one that requires taking on more responsibilities and entering new and unfamiliar territory.
Shadows and secrets are part of May’s rich astrological pattern. On the one hand, you may be keeping your thoughts and plans under wraps and, on the other, you could be trying to figure out why things suddenly seem so very different. After Mercury turns direct (15th) clarity will be regained and you’ll understand why you were fumbling in the dark.
This is one of the more important months of the year, globally and personally, so it will benefit you to think carefully before making a move that carries a certain risk. Play it safe, and reserve judgment until all those headless chickens are rounded up!
You could be glued to your seat watching unprecedented developments in distant parts of the world. On the other hand, events of significance could be happening on your own doorstep. Should you be making waves, then you will be doing so with attitude and succeeding, and if you are on the receiving end of developments that throw you off balance, know that they serve a positive purpose.
April and May are times of great change for the planet, and those who are prepared to throw out old scripts and start over are going to fare best. Indeed, you should thrive and prosper from your actions.
Saturn’s entry into ♓Pisces (7th) is the signal to get your ducks in a row, especially those of a financial and career kind. With Saturn’s help, you can make it to the top and become financially stable, but there are no shortcuts.
Should you be disappointed with a result or experience a rejection this month, try not to take it to heart. This was almost certainly about timing. Go back to the drawing board, and keep trying. You’ll discover where you went wrong, why things happened the way they did and, more important, you’ll be one hundred percent ready next time.
Going the distance is February’s starry theme. You could be travelling to far-off places and meeting with people from distant parts, however, the more important message is to do everything you can to achieve a heartfelt objective. Don’t give in too soon. Don’t let others deter you from your ambitions. The ground you cover this month will either bring immediate results or get you well on the road to success.
One thing to watch for, however, is people who won’t give you a straight answer: if money or love is involved, there can be no ifs ands and buts.
Whatever your plans for January, especially the first half of the month, put them away and prepare to be surprised. Things will change, and not necessarily in a bad way. Be open to alternatives and ready to negotiate. Finances are in the spotlight, as are close relationships, and the 🌕full moon of the 6th could prove pivotal to your ambitions.
By the end of the month, you’ll have reached an important decision and you’ll know who is fully behind you and who have only their best interests at heart. You can’t always judge a year by the first month, but what happens this January sets a new order in motion.
Things are heating-up, whether we’re talking about a light-hearted romance intensifying or a tense situation getting worse. The 🌕full moon in ♊Gemini (8th) is conjoined to Mars, so it will be difficult to be your usual logical self — your emotions will be firing on all four cylinders. Nevertheless, there’s an aura of it’s simply-meant-to-be at this time. It’s OK to be confused, by the way – and there could be more than one perplexing incident in December – but it’s not all right to make an irrevocable move based on insufficient information. If you don’t know what to do, do nothing.
Put your expectations on hold and get ready to be amazed. Aside from exceptional events in the lives of others, you yourself could see a situation perform a U-turn.
Mars is now retrograding in ♊your sign and taking you back over old ground, so one or more of November’s unexpected developments could be in regard to a past event or an old relationship, whether of a personal or professional nature. This is not the best time to make a decision in the heat of the moment, and if a road runs out, take your time before embarking on a new course.
The Mars effect is a blessing and a curse. When this planet is in ♊your sign, you are energized, driven and a veritable life-force, however, you may also be a tad trigger-happy. Already, you could have had a major success, but it may have come at the cost of a relationship or your personal life. On the other hand, you may feel your efforts are not achieving the results you anticipated.
Either way, October is a watershed. You’ll know what to keep channelling your energies into and what needs to be phased out in order to make the kind of progress you desire, and the dates of the 12th and 30th could be significant here.
You can’t put yourself under sustained pressure for an unlimited time. You need to cut down the pace and figure out what is deserving of your energies and what is not. This is Mercury’s job as it heads into retrograde from the 10th onwards. In an effort to complete a project on time, you may have skipped a step or two and these need correcting. On or near the 16th, there is a risk of a misunderstanding; deploy your emotional intelligence to read the signs and signals.
September gives you an opportunity to backtrack and to reconnect with people who are important to your happiness and success.
Communication and travel take the top spot — with some unscheduled diversions. Well, who wants same-old-same-old. You tend to get break-throughs or breakdowns with Uranus, and sometimes even break-ups, the reason being that comfort zones have a terrible habit of becoming prisons.
August brings wake-up calls, and enables you to see clearly where roads have run out and if you want to find happiness and fulfilment you need to change course. You may be surprised how easy it is to leave some aspects of your existence behind, even if you wouldn’t have chosen the way in which it happened.
Righting the balance is July’s stellar theme. Some ♊Geminis will be taking finances to task – making deals and resolving monetary dilemmas – while others will be making a stand about the treatment they are receiving. It is possible you are being undervalued, whether by someone you love or people you work for, and matters may well come to a head on or around the 18th.
While negotiation and compromise can be achieved, in many cases the only solution is to vote with your feet. And this advice applies not only to love and money but to any situation in which you are being used and abused.
Your humanitarian spirit is being stirred. You may be asked to help people who are experiencing difficulties or you could join an organization with altruistic goals. Team-work gets results, and by working as a team with your significant other, problems can be overcome.
On or near the 🌕full moon of the 14th contracts can be signed or ripped up, but before you make an irrevocable move, be sure you have all the facts. The ministry of disinformation will be in full force mid-month and you may well be completely misreading a situation. Things could look very different in four months’ time.
Until the Sun enters ♊your sign (21st) you may not be at your brightest and best. There’s a lot going on under the radar, and events taking place on or near the 15th could easily be misinterpreted. Even if you feel something has been taken away from you or you have lost ground, the reverse could be the case, so keep your powder dry until you have everything in black and white.
To add to the confusion, Mercury heads into retrograde on the 10th, slowing down the wheels of commerce and communication — even more reason to bide your time and use the space to research, regroup and reboot.
A rare Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on the Midheaven of your solar chart represents opportunity in a bottle. Dreams come true on such an aspect and miracles can happen. Certainly, on or near the 12th, you should take a bold step intended to add to your happiness and success.
By contrast, some ♊Geminis will be very confused about an April development. Perhaps you’ve underestimated a situation or someone has not been entirely clear about their intentions. From the 20th, you need to be a little more mindful of how you spend your time and where you focus your energies: your inner and outer being requires a reboot.
This is an outgoing, get-ahead period of the ♊Gemini year. You may be socially in demand and pursuing your ambitions and desires with gusto. So far, so good. The problem is, that despite your charms, some people are not prepared to play ball. They want to make life difficult. And then there’s those things that come out of left field and send your plans into the shredder. There will be ways around an impasse, and the end result may well be far superior to the original. Especially on or near the 13th and 23rd, information could be sketchy and certain people difficult to read. Keep your options open.
If you’re heading to foreign parts, whether for business or pleasure, you’re in synch with your stars. This is quite the jet-away month. It’s also a month when acquiring distance and perspective will enable you to resolve issues you’ve been wrestling with for a while. Some matters will sort themselves without any help from you, and even if you would have preferred a different outcome, it is the right one in the long run.
With Jupiter in pride of place for the next few months, opportunities to find success and happiness will come out of the blue. You can afford to accept a small defeat now.
January tends to be a month of reflection for the ♊Gemini clan, often related to finance. Did you spend too much money? Was a bill forgotten? Or have you decided that something – anything! – must be done about your financial position. Events on or near the 11th may be confusing, so rather than make a decision you could come to regret, wait until you can establish the facts and figures.
Indeed, it might be wiser to wait until both and Venus move direct (February 4th) before turning thought into action — and not just in regard to finance — but at least the wheels will be in motion.
A 🌑total solar eclipse in the area of relating is a big deal, especially if your birthday falls in early June. Developments in December change the shape and texture of a business or romantic relationship, whether contracts are on the table or agreements are being ripped up.
Normally the ♊Gemini mind can deal with any complexity, but on this occasion your heart and your instincts should be obeyed. On the 29th, Jupiter returns to the Midheaven of your solar chart all set to open doors and boost your success rate in the first half of 2022. All the more reason, therefore, to take a risk now.
Life runs better when good systems are in place, and November is all about getting in shape. On the one hand, eliminating time-wasting activities will allow you to focus on priorities and, on the other, getting fitter and stronger will up energy levels and boost confidence. And then there’s putting in place the rules of engagement.
Some ♊Geminis will be ready to notch up a relationship necessitating life-style changes. Others may feel there isn’t enough give and take in a working or romantic partnership, and the situation needs to change. Either way, the period from the 13th – 19th sets a new order in motion.
Retrograde Mercury is not oiling the wheels of commerce and communication, so until the 18th, getting from A to B in terms of travel and understandings is going to be hard work, although what you gain from a delay or a disagreement could be priceless.
There are buried issues that need to come to the surface and in the process you may no longer feel quite the same about a certain person. Likewise, you will have a chance to revise a decision and rework a project.
These last few months may have zapped your confidence and enthusiasm, but by the end of October, you’ll be back in the saddle.
Getting creative is the subject of your September stars. Whether you begin a new creative enterprise, put your personal stamp on a project or set about starting or adding to the family, you will be bringing joy into your life. And should you be job-hunting or wanting to increase your income, the time may well have come to start your own business. Put the power back in your own hands.
The 🌕full moon of the 20th brings a situation to crunch point, and while it may be possible to close and complete a deal at this time, don’t be disappointed should a commitment come to an end. It is time.
Going places is August’s theme, whether you travel to parts unknown or push the boat out in terms of achieving your goals. Always a great communicator you’re going to have to think on your feet as unexpected hazards periodically pop up out of the woodwork, particularly during the first ten days.
Adapt and move on, albeit with a couple of great lessons learned and some new strategies in your armoury. The weekend of the 21st could turn out to be a watershed: actions taken and events that occur mean there is no going back, only forward.
Quick-fixes are not the answer to July’s developments. With Saturn in the area of far-horizons, you have to think long-term. A sacrifice, postponement or reconsideration need not be the end of the world, since it should ensure your success and happiness in the future.
Travel and getting from one point to another in terms of understandings and agreements is going to take time and patience. Use facts and figures to support your arguments, but even more important is finding empathy. You may be surprised that a setback on or near the 24th turns out to be the best thing.
It has been six months since a 🌑total solar eclipse pointed to a new page of your life book, but it may have taken until this June and a 🌑second eclipse (10th) to reveal the content of that page. A relationship is almost certainly in the mix, and people you meet now and commitments you make will form an important part of your new future.
This is not the easiest of months, and some ♊Geminis will feel they have lost their way or that something is no longer within their grasp, but whenever 🌑eclipses affect ♊your sign, you are being realigned with your destiny. Travel and discussions are also on the agenda, and in both instances require a leap of faith.
Use your time well because with 🌕🌑two eclipses set to take place before mid-June, there could be some surprising twist and turns ahead.
First on your list of must-dos are health and fitness; you want to be on top form in the coming weeks, whether for special occasions already in the diary or one of those surprise events. Second, there are loose ends to be snipped and closure and completion to occur, in some cases because a new relationship is just around the corner, and in others because you don’t want to be held back from accepting a great opportunity. Endings are the subject of the 🌕total lunar eclipse of the 26th – happy endings, for most.
Until the 23rd Mars remains in ♊your sign, on the one hand, inspiring you to set wrongs to rights and implement strategies aimed at getting you where you want to go but, on the other, turning life into something of a battleground. You’ll need to tread carefully during the week of the 5th, because it will be easy to make a misstep or misinterpret a situation; information could be incomplete and someone may not be telling you the truth. Then again, sometimes what appears to be a wrong move turns out to be the right one.
Later in the month, aim to take a little more chill-time, and if you’re worried about something, talk about it.
Set out the welcome mat: on the 4th, Mars enters ♊your sign, stoking your ambitions and desires. The time for talking is over, it is time for action. People will respect you for your decisiveness and confidence, so even in the face of a setback, the situation can be turned around with a show of courage and force. Not everyone is being as honest as you might hope, and it will behove you to do background checks on certain individuals and organizations.
The 🌕full moon of the 28th marks the end of a gestation period: you’ll find out what has been developing and where you go from here.
Widening horizons is the theme of the month, which may translate as travel to distant parts or opportunities to expand your knowledge, skills and your outlook. You will benefit too from looking at a situation from a loftier perspective.
It’s not like ♊Gemini to have tunnel-vision about anything, but as soon as you stop forcing a situation to go in the direction you want, the quicker it will fall into place. As always, the universe knows better than you what you need.
On or near the 11th, you could receive an offer that you won’t want to refuse, but rather than wait for the earth to move, make a move of your own. Widen those horizons.
Sometimes, the more you think about a situation, the less of a grip you have on it, and the secret of success this month is to feel for the answers. January is full of change, some of it expected and some of it very unexpected, but far better you accept that certain routes are no longer available to you before you invest any more time, energy and emotions in them. Money is a major focus, and while a new and successful deal may be struck, especially on or near the 13th cash-flow could be an issue.
As soon as the Sun enters the area of far horizons (19th) the energy shifts, and offers and opportunities could come your way.
This is a roller-coaster close to 2020. Already you may have witnessed the end of an aspect of your existence, but even if life appears to be same-old-same-old, the 🌑total solar eclipse of the 14th says otherwise. Before then you may find yourself with something of a mystery on your hands, but rather than make an irrevocable move, wait it out. Other people are the catalysts of change, whether you are falling madly in love with them or on the receiving end of proposals you don’t like one little bit. However, with Venus in the zone of relating from the 15th, somebody definitely loves you. Indeed, this is going to be an extremely romantic holiday period for some ♊Geminis.
On the 30th, the second 🌕lunar eclipse on the ♊Gemini-♐Sagittarius axis takes place. On the one hand this links the events of early-to-mid June with those of November and, on the other, takes you to a crossroads. A relationship is likely to be involved, and an ending in sight, but it will vary from ♊Gemini to ♊Gemini as to whether it is a happy ending or quite the opposite.
One thing is for sure, you are empowered, therefore it is up to you to make the moves. Yes, it might feel as though fate has the upper hand, and perhaps you will be reacting to events that come out of left-field, but you still get to decide what to do about them.
?
The roots of life and the foundations of the future are the subjects of your September stars. Home and family may take up a large part of your time, and there could be some unexpected hitches with household devices and property matters. If you seem to be losing ground, don’t panic: fix what you can, and be philosophical about what you can’t – the universe has other plans…
Mid-month, the going gets slippery: keep your options open and don’t be pinned to a decision. Regarding the foundations of the future, it is vital that new projects and associations are rock-solid: don’t bank on tomorrow or assume a verbal agreement will hold. People who exert pressure on you have their own agenda.
According to Robert Louis Stevenson, it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive – a philosophy that could come in very useful during this month of unscheduled twists and turns. Travel and communications are in high focus, and the results of months of research and effort could be in.
It’s time to make your voice heard, as long as you’re ready for a strong reaction. Then there are journeys, in more than one sense, and people who and events that provide useful, if sometimes uncomfortable, life lessons. August is one of the holiday months of any year, but in 2020 almost every day will be a big news day.
This has been a year like no other. So much has changed. Normally Venus in ♊your sign would inspire an uptick in romance and the pleasures of life, but it’s not as easy as it used to be to meet and make merry! Nonetheless, July is a significant month for love and enjoying the good things of life. Within reason. While a relationship could develop showing all the signs of being serious, some ♊Geminis will be questioning their trust in a partner and the future of the relationship. And while it is essential to have quality downtime, this should not be at the expense of meeting financial demands.
This s a key month for setting financial wrongs to right and ensuring you are getting what you deserve.
Are you ready to rock and roll? With Venus in your sign and a 🌕lunar eclipse (5th) this could be the month of the year, particularly for love and relationships.
Nonetheless, we are living in unusual times, and making the most of your fabulous stars could mean finding ways to maximise their rich potential in reduced circumstances. There are uncertainties to cope with, especially regarding your career and place in the world, so remaining fluid and adapting to each and every twist and turn is recommended. Fake news proliferates, so set your compass to Planet Truth and be the rational voice in a chorus of craziness.
Despite Venus’s good fortune, you’re still going to run into a mystery and an obstacle. But, however strange or challenging events may be, by early August things should be straightened out or you’ll be so over them it won’t matter. It’s the 11th – 13th June birthdays who have the most to win and lose from this month’s developments; if in doubt, the answer lies in your heart or your gut, not in those little grey cells.
The 🌑new moon in ♊Gemini (22nd) opens a new chapter, and yet again there is likely to be a mystery behind it. Address those things that require urgent attention, otherwise keep your options open.
A month with Venus in your sign is always blessed, only this year she will spend until early August in ♊Gemini so you have blessings in abundance. Her presence will spritz up your love life and endeavours close to your heart, so put disappointments and betrayals behind you. If ever there was a time to find love, mend a broken fence or put a relationship on a permanent footing it is during the next five months.
That being said, it may take the demise of a relationship to open the way for better things to come. Love aside, a friendship or creative project could take a battering, especially if money is involved. Only you can decide whether a material loss is worth sustaining for the sake of an alliance.
Separating fact from fiction is your challenge for March. Indeed, until the 11th it may be difficult to get any facts and figures at all. So, don’t lose patience and agree to something for the sake of getting rid of the aggravation. Know what and who you’re dealing with.
For many ♊Geminis, this is the career month of the year. It is time to discuss your future with superiors and consider where your talents may be better served, but in keeping with the shortage of real information, don’t be tempted to issue an ultimatum, particularly on or near the 23rd. Likewise, if you’re putting together a major plan, leave plenty of room for last moment changes.
Does it feel as though you’re stuck in a groove? A situation persists despite your efforts to resolve it and move forward? Eighth-house transits are like that. Like a ship becalmed. Changing your space is recommended, first and foremost in terms of location, albeit for a couple of days. Once you, physically, have moved, your perception will do the same. And suddenly, you’ll know what to do and/or the situation will magically start moving.
Actions should be taken before Mercury turns retrograde (17th) however, since the second half of February could involve going back over decisions made earlier and delays and diversions will be part of life.
January is complicated. It’s complicated because you may not immediately understand why things are happening the way they are and why people are doing what they do, and your usual facility to get around roadblocks and untangle knots appears to have deserted you.
With the cosmos firmly in charge, it’s your job to manage events as they occur without questioning their purpose. If something is right for you, it will come right and if it’s not meant to be, it’s better left alone. Answers lie deep beneath the surface, and the best way to reach them is with your heart.
After the 20th you’ll be out of the woods and into clear, bright sunshine.
As the social supremo of the zodiac, December could be unusually quiet. The focus is on intimacy and dealing with situations in depth. It is an important month for love and money. Honest and open discussions set the stage for improvements next year, so drop the fears – they serve only to compromise negotiations with financial institutions and people who have your future in their hands. Happy endings are in the mix, as well as new starts.
The 🌕full moon of the 12th is the only one this year in ♊your sign, and it comes with the theme of empowerment and liberation. 2020, here you come!
With Mercury in retrograde, people will be slow to get back to you and getting answers or dates in diaries could prove frustrating, but there’s also a chance you will benefit from a delay or a change of plan.
So, don’t lose that famous ♊Gemini cool. Do your best to find a decent work-life balance in November; it might be tempting to burn the mid-night oil in order to complete a project but you’ll end up burned out and less than pleased with the result. Take your time. Do a great job.
The weekend of the 23rd brings Venus and Jupiter together – a sudden burst of romance, a passionate declaration, or simply a time to celebrate life, love and the rest.
Three months to go before 2019 is over, and just enough time to fulfil an important desire or ambition. But before you head into go-get-em mode you may need to perform a pruning exercise. You probably know there are activities and commitments that are getting in the way of your goals, and this is the perfect time to eliminate them. Time-consuming, unsatisfactory friendships and pursuits should be shed.
There is change and diversity on the work front, and for some ♊Geminis a complete change of course. This may be an unsettling month but you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
It’s not like you to miss a trick or miss the boat, but your focus could be ever so slightly off. Whether you’ve lost your heart to someone or you have too many plates spinning, do your best to keep track of important dates and essential responsibilities. Especially mid-month, there’s also a chance of leaks, both in the real sense of water issues and information seepage.
Take your time with decisions regarding career on the one hand and home and family on the other. What may appear to be a dream of an opportunity requires thorough investigation and a disappointing outcome could open the way to something much, much better.
Jupiter has been on a retreat in the zone of relating for the past few months, but on the 11th it turns direct with the result that delays and uncertainties regarding a working or romantic relationship begin to resolve themselves.
A job offer could be confirmed in the coming weeks and decisions can be made regarding a love affair that has been in the weeds. And marriage could be on the cards for some ♊Geminis. Indeed, there are many things about August that make it a month of turn-arounds and positive developments.
This is also a month of change on the home front: new arrivals for some, and new look for others.
Values, valuables and self-value are the focus for these remarkable influences. While not every ♊Gemini is going to win the lottery or make an investment in the future, what happens in July is likely to make a huge difference to your self-esteem. There’s a reality check in there too, first and foremost related to finances and second to a romantic or professional relationship.
While you should never leave it to fate alone to move mountains or open new pathways, there is more than a spritz of destiny to July’s events. Make the most of every opportunity to expand your world view.
A month with Venus in ♊your sign is always a plus. You can charm the birds off the trees and, even if life doesn’t always deliver, you’ll find a silver lining. The first ten days are full of bright potential: it is the right time to launch new endeavours and to approach people with a view to their employing you or taking you into their inner circle.
The going gets a little trickier from the 14th, especially where money is concerned, so if you are worried about funds or a deal in progress, make a pre-emptive move on or near the 3rd. Romance is in the air on the 22nd: perfect for tying the knot or revealing your true feelings.
Fight your fear of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). There are occasions when it is a positive advantage to be in the slow lane of life and leaving other people to do the moving and shaking. Allow situations to fully unravel before reaching a judgement. The chances are you will get the wrong end of the stick and turn an opportunity into an obstacle. Try not to worry if a love affair appears to have taken a wrong turn; sometimes a breathing space or at least a change of gear is of great benefit in the long run.
From the 21st, you’ll be back on form and more than one puzzling development will be cleared up. Onward and upward from thereon.
Your talents as a chameleon will be much in demand. You will have to adapt to changing circumstances and to other people’s weird and wonderful ways. With Mars in your sign, you are empowered, but you need to sense when you have come on too strong or gone too far, especially around the 13th. A new project could challenge your abilities and working as a team will challenge your patience. Still, it’s good to put in some practice at being the zodiac’s most flexible and ingenious individual. A quiet Easter is recommended but if you have a hot schedule, bear in mind there could be unexpected delays and diversions.
Events may defy logic, so rather than try to figure out the right response, give it time. What appears one way one day could look entirely different the next. There are certainly great opportunities to be had in March, especially on the career front, but you will need to look at the details before making a firm commitment. You know the old saying: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Mercury is on a backwards course for much of the month, so there are likely to be frustrations with travel and information, but there is no need to believe silence is proof of disinterest. Keep your cool. Don’t give anyone a chance to believe you are worried.
Broadening your view is February’s theme, so while some Geminis will be travelling to unfamiliar places others will be expanding their knowledge or meeting new and interesting people. And then there’s your love life. With Jupiter’s help, this promises to be a year of happy romantic developments, one of which could appear this month.
However, Venus’ challenging aspects to Saturn and Pluto (18th and 23rd respectively) could put a relationship on a knife-edge. There is always something fateful about whom we meet and fall in love with, and this is not the time to analyse the whys and wherefores but to allow the heart and destiny to do its work.
Welcome to one of the money months of 2019. Aside from scooping up bargains in the sales, you could make a large investment which could pay off handsomely in the future or you could come into money. And although we are talking finance first and foremost, there could be wedding bells sounding for some Geminis.
January is rarely the easiest of months if only because it follows a season of good cheer, but there are a few more delicate issues to deal with this year, and it will be better to address them full on rather than wrapping them up in pretty paper or putting off the “evil moment”. Sometimes you have to burn bridges in order to discover a new way forward.
You are quite the flavour of the month. People are reaching out to you and making their interest known. This may well be for professional reasons but for many Geminis the climate is distinctly romantic. Meetings, propositions and invitations could form part of the Christmas joy. If there is a potential hitch, it is Neptune-shaped and may involve a mixed message, a missing item or a lost cause. Especially on or near the 5th assume nothing and check everything.
You head into 2019 with Jupiter at your back ensuring a year of extremely positive developments. Deck the halls with holly, indeed!
While a wait-and-see stance can prove wise on many occasions, in November a speedy response is recommended whether a golden opportunity presents itself or a red flag appears. Jupiter arrives in the area of love and relating improving your chances of meeting and merging with partners of the business and romantic kind. It may not be smooth sailing at first but you should see any breaks with the past as preparation for the new and the improved.
Mercury’s retrograde transit (15th onwards) may involve revisiting an ex or some other trip down memory lane, but don’t be misled into making things permanent. Your future lies elsewhere.
October could turn out to be the fun month of the year. It is a highly creative period, whether you throw yourself into artistic, sporty or social pursuits or focus on bringing new and beautiful things into being. And there’s a sprinkling of romance and happy endings for some.
Work and finance are subject to the Pluto-Uranus syndrome, which means you’ll be digging deep for funds and solutions due to unexpected developments, but no one has ever succeeded without meeting with the occasional crisis. Crisis, by the way, in the Greek language means growth, so however bumpy the road, especially on or near the 1st and 25th, in the end, you’ll come out on top.
Variety and change are fundamental to the well-being of the Celestial Twin, and with Mars returning to the zone of far horizons, you will be able to slake your thirst for travel and innovation. However, before you take off for distant places and bigger projects, there could be important issues to resolve on the home front.
A mystery may develop regarding a member of the family or there could be complications with a property, and especially on or near the 6th and 12th you should not leave a situation dangling in the air. Make sure you’re on the right side of history! Finances and self-worth are under Saturn from the weekend of the 22nd – time to set wrongs to rights.
Words and how you say them have rarely been more important. What you deliver in terms of ideas and opinions could change your course, whether we’re talking jobs, finance and future plans or a personal relationship. Mercury will be in reverse mode until the 19th, making the going slow and people less than available, all of which could lead to some frustrating moments.
Keep your cool and wait until the end of the month before assuming a venture is off or someone is no longer interested. Events around the weekend of the 25th could have a hidden benefit, and meetings and discussions could lead to positive outcomes a little further down the line.
Finances are in the spotlight and July is quite the money-making month of 2018. For some Geminis financial improvements are the result of a property sale; for others, salary talks lead to increases. Certainly, now is the time to invest in your future whether you intend to add to your knowledge and skills or start your own business. There is also a chance that your confidence was knocked earlier in the year, which has had the effect of making you somewhat gun-shy. Drop the fear, Gemini, confidence is key to making progress now, whether in the pursuit of love or success and financial security. Go strut you stuff!
Money may not be the most important thing in life, but it is necessary, and June brings financial improvements. Some of those improvements lie in your hands: you’ll need to be flinty in your negotiations with companies and individuals alike, and sure of your figures, but by the 28th you should have firm agreements in place and you’ll certainly know where you stand.
Neptune turns retrograde on the 18th and on or near this date you may believe you have been let down or lost a much-desired goal, but there are hidden factors which will come to light later casting the situation in a whole new light. Try to tie up travel plans and long-distance matters before the 26th: after that there could be delays and detours.
With Venus in your sign until the 19th, you have the equivalent of an angel on your shoulder, so if you’ve been debating whether or not to make a move that could change your life and certainly your romantic fortunes, take that chance. Indeed, following your heart is the theme of the month, as is discarding those things that are gathering dust – and we’re speaking in metaphors here.
Health and wellbeing are in the spotlight too and a wake-up call on or around the 15th could be just what you need to get you on the path to fitness and fabulousness. The week of the 21st may expose the weaknesses in your financial planning, although these same influences could set the seal on a deal.
There’s been enough uncertainty since the start of the year to last you till the end of it, but here at last in April is some clarity. For many Geminis money is the source of that clarity: a deal is confirmed or a settlement on its way and it is the right moment to set finances on a better trajectory. However, for others, clarity is to be gained regarding a love affair. If you’ve thrown everything but the kitchen sink at a relationship, it’s time to stop and see what happens when you lose the attachment.
From the 24th Venus will be in your sign helping the course of love and setting the stage for some romantic occasions. You’re in good cosmic hands, Gemini.
The start to the month is confusing. It could be that someone is giving you mixed signals or a situation that seemed straightforward develops glitches. While you may want to resolve problems immediately, you need the truth and the whole truth before you launch into action. Information may have gone missing. On the other hand, you may find divine intervention has prevented you from making a mistake.
The weekend of the 31st marks the end of a gestation period with a birth of some description on its way: for some Geminis this is all about a love affair morphing into marriage; for others the completion of a project, and for all a chapter is closing; the new awaits.
You could be on your travels or reaching out to people at a distance. The zone of far horizons is in the mainframe, encouraging you to go far whether in terms of miles or effort. It is a month to make plans for the future and to utter statements from the heart. Now, this advice is not just geared to love affairs, but situations that inspire passion in you. You can move mountains when you are driven by commitment and desire. What you may have to watch, however, is that Neptune’s misty tentacles do not draw you into a web of confusion mid-month. Deal only in the currency of truth and do not submit to emotional blackmail.
There is often a temptation to get behind hopes and plans as early in January as possible, but this year I recommend easing yourself gently into 2018. There are aspects of situations you cannot yet see and you may not know what other people are truly thinking. Finances demand close attention, however, and relying on moneys to come in to cover the Christmas spend-fest is not a safe strategy: inform people of potential delays well in advance of the 11th.
Likewise, if someone’s behaviour is unacceptable and you can see you are throwing “good money after bad” put your foot down, preferably around the 8th or 24th. Getting away for a seasonal break could be on the cards, and travel on or near the 28th may prove interesting.
This December marks an ending: a term of trial is coming to a close, a chapter of life is finishing, and a pattern of existence is changing, all of which adds up to a new beginning. Whatever your plans for the Christmas holidays, take a little time to acknowledge how far you have come since Saturn entered your opposite sign in September 2015, and how much stronger and wiser you have become. And with this knowledge, barriers will come down and you will make progress.
Not that a retrograde Mercury will speed you along during the first half of December! Messages could go missing, confusion may reign and travel could be complicated. Nonetheless, by New Year’s Eve you should have more to celebrate than to complain about.
The planets are in ideal positions to help you make progress, and the more work you put into endeavours the better the results. Whether you’re building up a network, putting in the infrastructures of new enterprises or setting up the rules of engagement, getting it right at root level is vital. Be that fussy person, the one who refuses to accept average; only the best will do – and in all circumstances.
A new job could be on the horizon or a new aspect of your work, and in some cases there will be a moment in the spotlight. Listen closely to other people because they may not be ready to offer you something tangible but they will be testing the water. The 28th could be decision time.
If October’s stars were a weather report it would forecast sunny and warm conditions with occasional thunderstorms! You should be at your most creative and sociable with more than one outlet for your talents and personality; however, there will also be challenges and unless you use great restraint a war of words could make for a permanent dent in a friendship or collaboration.
This is an ideal month to bring something new into being, preferably of the business variety, but even a love affair begun now could change your life in the most positive of ways. Jupiter’s journey through the work zone from early October to November 2018 should also result in welcome life changes.
Much as it may irk you to downsize or to accept less than you deserve, it is better than going away empty-handed. With Saturn and Neptune in premium position a loss or sacrifice may be necessary in order to move forward into a brighter future. (Knowing your value is what is important; not what others of lesser quality believe.)
And if all this sounds rather daunting, these sober influences are counter-balanced by an uplifting configuration, which is at its most powerful late in the month. A new business project or some other creative endeavour begun at this time should take you far and whatever appears suddenly and with great promise should be embraced with gusto.
You may well have chosen August to travel far and wide, however, with Mercury in reverse from the 13th onwards, expect to be delayed and diverted. All this could be grist to your mill, however, because there’s always a good reason why your plans must change. A pause could give you the time to rethink a decision and were things gone ahead as intended you would have missed an opportunity waiting in the wings.
Saturn has put you through a major learning curve where love and relationships are concerned, but from late August there is a turn in the tide. While a relationship in difficulty could right itself it is also possible that you’ll be able to finally free yourself from an unwanted burden.
There’s a lot of good words to be said about July, and most of them involve love. It may be a cliché to say that with love in your heart you will be successful in your enterprises, but when you feel loved and give love, life sings. And with Venus in your sign, this month promises to bring blessings; it may even inspire you to burst into song!
It is the perfect time to marry and form a new romantic relationship; it is also an excellent period in which to seek new outlets for your energies and talents; however, when big changes occur they upset the rhythm of life, so not every day will be seamless. Take the period around the 21st, for instance. Then again you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs.
Birthday’s often bring epiphanies and this year is no exception. You may find yourself thinking about the hopes and ambitions that remain unfulfilled and how much time there is left to achieve them. With this in mind make an almighty decision on or near the 9th or 15th and you’ll be taking a big step toward the realization of your dreams.
This is indeed a month where dreams and reality come together and inspire you onward and upward. And sharing those goals with the right person has never been more important. Do not be afraid to state your real feelings because you cannot lose someone who loves you just as deeply; and if he or she cannot commit to you, it is far, far better you know that before it is too late. June is all about reaching a crossroads.
Just because you cannot make up your mind doesn’t make you a bad person. With the Sun transiting the cloistered twelfth house, you are looking at life through a misty lens and liable to make poor decisions, so asking for more time and remaining non-committal is appropriate. The problem is with Mars, the conqueror, in your sign you may be under intense pressure to perform. Especially on or near the 11th and 29th make sure you are thoroughly prepared and informed before heading into battle!
Good business connections can be made in May and if you have been struggling to keep a working or romantic relationship afloat a heart to heart on or near the 19th could prove ground-breaking.
Friendships and loyalty could be tested this month, and it may be impossible for you to retain your usual impartiality. People will want to know where you stand and issues need to be addressed. For some Geminis making or breaking a commitment involves a working or romantic relationship: what may help your decision-making is realizing that it is as much in other people’s interests as yours to have clarity.
Admittedly, with Mercury, the planet of travel and communication, in retrograde not everything is going to pan out as expected, but you should still make your moves decisively. On the 21st Mars enters your sign giving you fire in your belly and the ammunition with which to succeed.
These past two years it has been Saturn’s job to reveal where you have misplaced your energies and affections and who truly loves and values you. In mid-March this planet of realities provides another opportunity to discover the truth of an enterprise or association. If it’s good it’s going to get even better and if it’s poor it will struggle.
Geminis have the ability to talk their way around an impasse and to get people to see a situation in an alternative way, but you may have to ask yourself what is to be gained from pursuing a “dead duck”? Nature loves a vacuum and by letting go of a struggling enterprise you will be opening the door to something far, far better.
It is not unusual for Geminis to experience mixed feelings but to be pulled in two totally different directions is another matter altogether. Rely on your instincts because you will never be happy with a decision based on other people’s opinions. Listen by all means, but go with your gut.
A solar eclipse on your mid-heaven (25th) points to a new life-chapter, in some cases inspired by your actions and in others through force of circumstance. And you’ll need to have this thought in the back of your mind for the next few weeks – eclipse events do not always occur on the very day. Do your best to leave your schedule open during the last week of the month – that way you’ll be free to respond to whatever comes or goes.
Finances top the list of priorities, and if you require funding or intend to close a financial deal the discussions may go back and to for a while. Indeed, with Mercury in retrograde journeys in every sense of the word could prove convoluted and time-consuming until the 8th. Nonetheless, there's always a reason for delays and detours, and there could be benefits in postponing an event or putting a project on hold.
On and around the 19th have the facts at your disposal and remember some people have long memories... That said, after this date life opens up, whether you'll be travelling to distant parts or engaged in discussions that promise to take you far in personal or professional terms.
Sometimes you get to call all the shots and sometimes you have to wait and see what other people do. And this is one of those times. Your life may not be in other people's hands exactly, but your existence will be easier if you give way to others and put partners first. It is crunch time for some Geminis - are you in or are you out? - while others will feel they have never been happier and more settled.
Events on or near the 10th and 25th set the seal on an endeavour and if you have been in any doubt as to what people really think about you or your ideas, you're going to be as clear as crystal. The year ends on a long-distance note, whether you're celebrating in foreign parts or hearing something special from someone far away.
You're never alone with a crowded seventh house! This area of the horoscope is all about relationships, and over the course of the next four to six weeks there could be some important developments in your love life, if not a lot more besides. You'll need other people to help you achieve a goal and you'll have to take other people's needs, feelings and circumstances into consideration before you can go forward with a plan. And then there's falling in love... Most of the time your brand of pure logic serves you well but you'll do a lot better allowing your feelings to dictate the course of events.
A situation can turn on the real emotion of the moment - something to think about especially on or near the 29th.
If you love change - and what Gemini doesn't thrive on variety - you're going to love October. From the get-go offers and opportunities pop up, seemingly out of nowhere, and any ideas you have to bring freshness and diversity to life should be activated with courage and commitment. (Think about something too long and you'll talk yourself out of it.)
From the 18th relationships become the main event with some Geminis marrying or becoming engaged and others meeting a new partner. However, influences toward the end of the month could throw a cloud of uncertainty over the future of a romantic or working alliance, and you may have no choice other than to acquire distance and perspective for the time being.
If your world wobbled on its axis earlier in the year, you may be able to set rights to wrongs in September. On the other hand, further repercussions from the events of March and June could occur, whether this proves delightful or not so much. Either way, early in the month you need to have a plan B up your sleeve and be prepared for people to take decisions you never expected.
Jupiter's arrival in your fellow air sign, Libra, will, over the coming months, bring more harmony to life, and for some Geminis an important romance is in store - one that may well lead to marriage. Those of you hoping to start or add to your family should also be well pleased with Jupiter's helping hand.
Travel always has its share of anxieties but in this astrological climate delays and detours could be the norm. Mercury may not be retrograde until the 30th but the trend for misunderstandings and miscommunications will be present throughout and especially around the 5th, 18th and 25th. Sometimes a delay will prove useful and sometimes having to rework a plan can turn out to be an improvement, so look on the bright side should plans change without your say-so. You may also have to be patient with partners and people with whom you are sharing time and ideas; and a few Geminis may be tempted to throw in the towel. Give it time. People who may not be playing ball with you now could get back in the game in a few weeks time.
Money and self-worth are big issues for July. You could be in the fortunate position of coming into a large sum or people may be showing you how much they love and value you - either way, a welcome boost is on the astro-agenda. Nonetheless, not every Gemini will be feeling in the pink, and should money be in short supply, radical moves to get back in balance should be made.
Likewise, if someone is not treating you well, it is time to put your foot down. This is quite the best month to negotiate better terms. And should people decide that they will be better off with a new arrangement, don't be too keen to hang on to them. Cleaning house has more than one meaning this month.
Not the greatest of starts to a month that could deliver some good news by the end of it. You have some serious thinking to do, first and foremost regarding your career and second a relationship, and some Geminis will decide to leave a long-term position. Whatever you do, though, be absolutely sure of the facts and do not base your actions on rumours.
The fine line between reality and negativity must be carefully negotiated throughout June: it may be tempting to cut your losses rather than struggle on without results but facts not feelings should dictate your moves. Perseverance is a key component of success. By contrast, the weekends of the 4th and 27th are the perfect time to set the seal on a relationship, and indeed anything intended to last decades.
Curiouser and curiouser, as Alice in Wonderland would say. Little appears to be adding up and the more you try to get people to commit and plans to come together the more frustrated you'll become. Until the 20th when the Sun enters your sign you are far better occupying the slow lane of life and giving people enough rope to hang themselves.
Believe it or not, there are positive developments taking place behind the scenes, and by the end of the month you should be able to see why projects were delayed and why certain people were acting so strangely. The week of the 23rd is ideal for putting signatures on contracts and setting personal and business endeavours on a long-term footing. You're on your way, Gemini.
Teamwork and collaborations take the top spot, and, in general, this is a month with plenty of action on the social front and some promising connections to be made regarding work. Don't lose time following up meetings with new people and even without hard evidence of a future offer, working toward just such an end is advised. With Mercury turning retrograde on the 28th you need to get as much as possible in the bag and in the diary.
As you may know Gemini is the zodiac's commitment-phobe but with Saturn in the relationship zone settling down and reaching conclusions are the name of the game this year. With this in mind, the weekend of the 16th is the perfect time to make a big decision regarding your love life.
This is a month with the wow factor. Two eclipses brighten your horizons: the first with the potential to take your career in a new direction and the second to bring a project to completion.
For some Geminis what happens during the course of March will put a feather in your cap but for others events could prove disappointing. Whether a job or creative project has gone as far as it can or a relationship is more heartache than happiness, a new way forward will have to be found.
And while Easter would be the perfect time for a wedding, engagement or christening with Saturn in the frame an element of seriousness will form part of the celebrations; duties and responsibilities will have a role to play.
Saturn's presence in the area of partnership is a blessing and a curse: a blessing in that love affairs can morph into marriage and a curse because problems with your love life become harder to bear.
February is an excellent time to make a long-term commitment, whether of the romantic or business kind, but it may not be the right moment to cut the ties that bind. Look into your heart for the answers, not your head, and do not seek counsel from friends and family - they may have your best interests at heart, but this is your life, your relationship. Especially around the 28th information will be sketchy and unless you have the correct facts and figures you should abstain from making a decision.
By late March you will be in a better position to act.
If the New Year begins on a highly romantic note, say a big thank-you to Venus which will be moving through the relationship area for much of January. Wedding plans could be on the cards or a new romance may have all the signs of becoming the great love affair. On the 9th Venus meets with Saturn encouraging long-term commitments but also bringing some relationships to a tipping point.
While working through the bad times is an essential part of intimate and working relationships and friendships, sometimes hanging on in there is counter-productive. And January is a good time to make hard decisions.
Finance is also a key feature of your stars, and you should keep a constant eye on your accounts in case of security breaches and any incipient shortfalls.
With Saturn out of the way for December, there is nothing to stop you from enjoying life and making progress. And progress in large part means making the most of your connections. Under these stars you can forge promising business relationships and improve your job prospects, and for some Geminis a romance will be sparked at work.
The periods around the 5th, 10th and 20th require care, though - a hasty action on your part could cost you dearly whether we're talking finance or friendship; and risks of any sort should not be taken near these dates.
A full moon on the 25th could bring simmering feelings to the surface making for some unexpected announcements and certainly adding colour to the celebrations. But since Venus arrives in the love zone on the 30th it is probably a case of love conquering all.
Party season appears to be starting early for the Gemini clan, although some celebrations may have more to do with family developments. Happy news linked to babies and children could be on the agenda and, in general, it is the little things of life that generate joy. Romance is also flourishing for some Geminis, and a brief encounter could be the beginning of the real thing.
Ideally, important meetings and discussions should be held early in the month since by the 21st Saturn and Neptune will be gaining a grip, and delays and complications will be par for the course. You may get some answers by the 30th but if you are already concerned that a project is flawed or that you are not receiving the right signals, having an alternative plan to fall back on will at the very least provide peace of mind.
The home front is the focus for Jupiter's bounty. A celebration could be on the agenda or time spent in the bosom of your family will ease problems and bring happiness. And if you're planning to improve your home or upgrade to a bigger and better place, October is the time.
Finances are also improving, and for a few Geminis a major monetary boost is on the way, probably on or near the 9th.
Neptune continues to be a dominant influence, which should explain why you are no longer so concerned with material benefits and seeking more professional and personal fulfilment; and any job losses should be seen as spurs to follow your true passion. Likewise, any deep dissatisfaction with a relationship is not a passing phase and requires action.
You may be able to sense that there is change in the wind, and whether you're excited by the possibility or apprehensive, getting your ducks in a row is the answer. If you feel someone is not being honest with you or that a situation may be coming to an end, don't wait for the axe to fall, start making plans. By contrast should you see signs that an endeavour or a relationship could be about to take off, get ready to flap your wings.
The solar eclipse of the 13th brings in a new chapter, first and foremost on the home and family front and second regarding your career, but it is also a signal to get moving on those ambitions you have allowed to fall by the wayside or permitted others to delay.
On or near the 24th what may initially appear as a stumbling block is a proverbial stepping stone.
Gemini's winged heels could come in very useful now. Aside from August being one of the travel months of 2015, getting out of ruts and situations you find stifling will give you a heady sense of release. You are going places and without a whole lot of unnecessary baggage. Add to this, Jupiter's arrival at the base of your chart and you are looking at a very enjoyable month indeed.
Over the next twelve months, Jupiter's new position will encourage growth on the home front -- an upwardly mobile move, maybe, or additions to the family by birth or marriage, and in general the roots of life will receive the nourishment they need to help you build a bigger and better future. Something to think about in the event of a minor setback on or near the 29th.
July is a month of extremes -- the good will be great and the rest should be put down to experience! Never forget you are the great communicator of the zodiac and there is no one better at finding ingenious solutions to even the most complex problems. Money looks to be the focus for your ingenuity this month: a contract could fall through, an unexpected demand could leave you short and financial discussions may be far from smooth, especially around the 6th and 14th. However, after months of negotiation and anxiety a settlement could be reached. Not that July is only about money. There is also movement and change: for some Geminis this means travel and for others offers of the business or romantic variety that promise to take you out of your comfort zone.
It may take until the 11th before you realize you have the wind in your sails, but as early in the month as possible get behind projects you believe could change your fortunes. Don't get stuck in the details, but keep your end game in sight at all times. With focus and patience, you can and will succeed. As you may know, not everyone is your champion and it may be prudent to allow a friendship or working association to cool: should that person want to back you he or she will make the running.
With Neptune turning retrograde (12th) it seems something has to be dropped, whether it's a bad habit, a time-consuming activity or you have been scattering your energies and losing track of what really counts.
Let the new moon of the 16th mark the start of a new and improved era.
Early May should be a time of rest and retreat; a time to reflect rather than roll into action, so plan to relax and take some early nights. As soon as Mars enters your sign (12th) you'll need to be on top of your game. Anticipate some opposition on and around the 15th and the 22nd, although what emerges as a barrier between you and your hopes can be turned into a bridge with some new thinking and negotiation. Not every relationship is built to last, and you may well need to reconsider your role in a company or with a business partner. On the other hand, it could be a romantic relationship that requires a lot more work, healing and forgiveness if it is to be given a second chance.
From the 21st life becomes curiouser and curiouser: check information carefully and don't go anywhere without your cell phone and a sat-nav.
Venus always brings something beautiful to the table when she is in your sign, so although you might not get all you want and more, during these next five weeks you will have something to celebrate. Try not to focus solely on the one ambition you want to fulfil or the one event you believe is the answer to happiness: the universe works in strange ways to keep us on line with our destiny, and sometimes a development you consider to be insignificant turns out to be the very thing that changes your fortunes.
Not everyone is going to step up to the mark now, and one person may well disappoint you, but it will be up to you as to whether you forgive and move on or decide enough is enough. And this could prove particularly apt on or near the 15th.
Living within your means and playing it by the rules are the best ways of dealing with a Saturn transit, but every so often, as is the case in March, you get a chance to spread your wings and take a few chances. So, whether you want to take a chance on love or engage in activities that involve some risk, now is the time.
You have luck and opportunity with you on or near the 1st and 9th, although if you run into an argument agreeing to disagree is the best strategy unless you positively want to end a friendship.
On the 14th Saturn begins its five-month long retrograde journey, during which time you may feel a working or romantic relationship has lost its momentum. Do not give up at the first fence, Gemini.
Career matters receive a boost later in the month, and if you're ready for bigger and better things, what's stopping you?
Striking while the iron is hot is your mantra for February. Planets gathered in the zone of life-goals and career make this one of the best months for getting ahead. People in positions of influence should be approached with a view to helping you climb the ladder or find more suitable avenues for your talents, and even without your making a move, events are likely affect your long-term course. While the astrology is far from easy during the last week of the month, some Geminis will have a job or promotion confirmed, and this is a good moment to set a situation in cement. The important factor is to be clear in your own mind about what you want -- or in some cases who: once you have reached a decision, the rest will fall into place.
January tends to be a month of reckonings but this year you need to be super ready for the bills and word-perfect when it comes to discussions with financial institutions. Make your plans, expect to be challenged and you'll be fine: a negotiation is always a two-way street. The week of the 12th could prove particularly eventful, and not only for monetary matters. It is possible that a rumour has influenced someone's opinion so don't be too quick to accept a verdict.
Love has a far-away aura about it, so some of you could find romance in a holiday destination and others will be able to turn a relationship that has seen better days back to its former glory. However, if around the 30th a love affair loses its momentum, issues over commitment are likely to be at the heart of it.
