Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Naturally passionate and daring at heart, you’re never one to shy away from new experiences or to tackle difficult challenges. This year though, you’re looking to boldly go where you’ve never been before! Your usual sandbox feels too confining as you seek to branch out and explore new realms. This could take the form of international travel, but it could also be new mental challenges that you choose to take on. Thinking about going back to school? This is your year! Publishing is highly favoured too (write that book!), as are religious/spiritual studies or taking any kind of legal action.
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to expand my world.
Love: There’s something different about you this spring! It’s not just the new hairstyle either. You’re literally morphing into an even more authentic version of yourself, and attracting mega attention as you do it! Image-enhancing Venus in Aries brings you loads of opportunities to connect in February, but it’s the hot summer months when things really get cooking!
Money/Work: It’s a banner beginning to the year financially, thanks to moneybags Jupiter continuing to grace your income zone! May looks especially profitable, but you’ve got until June to make hay whilst the sun shines. There’s a positive shift happening in your day-to-day work environment this August/September, largely because you make it happen.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
As a practical, comfort-loving Taurus you’re extremely resourceful, and you find pleasure and security in acquiring and owning a lot of ‘stuff!’ There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but this year you’re more open to merging and sharing with others, and not just physically either. You’re really learning how to trust on an even deeper level, and mingling monies could be part of that.
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to have faith in others
Love: Don’t underestimate the power of your own charm! Let them come to you (and they will), especially this May/June. Things get hot and heavy this summer, but its around the November 13th Solar Eclipse when you take the next serious step in your relationship.
Money/Work: The May 20th Solar Eclipse practically throws money your way! Abundant Jupiter in your sign says opportunities abound, but it's still up to you to take advantage of them. You can afford to push for what you want. This is one of your best money years of the decade, with financial/business partnerships being especially lucrative!
Gemini (May 21 - June 22)
Think back to the summer of 2000 through to the summer of 2001. What was going on back then? Your confidence level was high and you were branching out in some new way or in some new direction. You can expect more of the same for 2012, especially from June through December. It’s a positive, once-in-every-twelve-years kind of opportunity, so say yes to whatever the Universe offers up!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to have faith in my abilities.
Love: You’re redefining your bottom line in all your primary romantic and business relationships this winter/spring. Where are your boundaries? You may not really know until someone pushes them. They will too, especially on January 4th, April 9th and most notably on the Eclipse of June 4th! At that point you should be able to define exactly what it is that you want, (or equally as important, what you don't want!). An engagement, marriage or second honeymoon could be part of the scenario this summer!
Money/Work: The March 21st New Moon earns you a spot in the limelight. Finally! All your hard work starts to pay off and your reputation soars. Image is key at this time too, so don’t hesitate to fake it ‘til you make if you need to! Financial opportunities abound once bountiful Jupiter enters your sign in June. Be watchful for opportunities, as calculated risks, offers and prospects tend to pay off big time.
Cancer (June 23 - July 22)
You’re practical, organized and efficient as usual this year, but by June you’re being asked to let go a little and focus on having more fun! Let joy, creativity, romance and pleasure be your guide. If it’s fun, then you’re on the right path! Involve yourself with kids and let them remind you how to play, take an art class or go on a date. It can actually be a challenge to settle into this mindset if one is always trying to ‘work’ at things, but we’re confident you’ll get the hang of it in no time!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to freely express myself
Love: The January 8th Full Moon gives you a choice! You can go along with your partner’s agenda, or you can come up with one of your own! Focusing on yourself now wins you more respect in the end. Single? It’s when you’re out doing your own thing that you meet someone like-minded. It doesn’t get any hotter when romantic Venus and passionate Mars align with your sign August 24th to September 6th. Book your getaway now!
Money/Work: There’s an opportunity to cash in around the January 22nd New Moon when unexpected funds come from an unlikely source. If you’ve been stuck in a job rut though, Uranus supports you in figuring out where you truly need to be by August.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
Naturally charismatic and regal, you can’t help but attract attention! And for the first half of the year you will. In fact, your social life couldn’t be better! By June though, you’re more focused on your private life. Family, home, partnerships, domestic matters and real estate are where it’s at. You’ll be happiest being out of the spotlight and securing a strong and secure emotional/financial base for yourself. Of course, you’ll still look fantastic doing it!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to build a strong foundation for myself
Love: Love planet Venus in Leo makes way for plenty of romantic opportunities February 8th to March 4th. Watch for the Eclipse on June 4th when a platonic pal could turn into a romantic option, or vice versa. It’s completely up to you! By year’s end you’ve settled into a sweet, happy and blissful kind of calm.
Money/Work: Mars goes retrograde in your money sector and makes it hard to hold on to your loot from late January to mid-April! By May though, a pay raise, new job or financial partnership could be part of your profitable new spring scenario. In fact, self-employment is a viable option…especially if you can do it from home!
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
You’ve been playing your cards close to your chest for the last while, and focusing on home, family and security! You’ll continue to do so for the first half of this year, as you’re finding a better way to balance your public life with your private life. By the time June rolls ‘round though, you’re ready to express how you really think and feel! Communication is your key to success, so start talking! Write, take short trips, enroll in a course or teach one!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to share what I know
Love: Get ready for a do-over when passionate Mars goes retrograde in your own sign of Virgo January 25th to April 15th! An old flame wants a second chance, or maybe you do? (don’t count on its longevity though). Your passion peaks in May and June, and so does your libido! By October, you’re contemplating taking the next step.
Money/Work: If you’re stuck in a less-than-satisfying job, the June 4th eclipse could force your hand! You may be financially practical, but you’re not willing to sacrifice your happiness for a paycheck at this point.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
As one of the more social signs, you tend to be on the go with people to see and things to do! You loathe letting others down too, so sometimes you’ll spread yourself too thin just to keep the peace. This year though, (especially from June onward) you’re being asked to be more discerning about where (and in whom!) you invest your time, your money and yourself.
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to do what’s best for me
Love: You’re not messing around when it comes to love and relationships this year! Commitment is key, and if someone isn’t reading from your page then you’re not willing to waste your time. The April 6th Full Moon brings something to a head, and you could take that next serious step, or decide to move on to the one waiting in the wings (trust us, he is!). Plan a hot summer getaway July 3rd to August 23rd when passionate Mars promises more than your fair share of attention!
Money/Work: It’s been a rough couple of years, thanks to buzz-kill Saturn touring your sign. All work and no play has definitely put a crimp in your social life, but on the upside, you’ve made great strides forward in terms of responsibility, reputation or career. You’re continuing to do so for the first half of this year too, but your load should lighten considerably as Saturn finally leaves Libra in October!
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
You’ve been getting real about money lately, and you’ll continue to focus on it for the first half of this year as well. You’re in the throes of realizing that yes, you can do what truly has meaning for you, and get paid what you’re worth! The last half of the year ushers in new possibilities and challenges. Don’t be afraid to let go of what no longer works, ‘cause you’ll need a free hand to grab on to what does!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to be open to change
Love: Love blossoms best in springtime, or specifically around the April 21st New Moon! A new relationship is a real possibility now, or you’re deepening the one you already have. Love planet Venus in retrograde could bring an old suitor out of the woodwork in June, but it's September and October when lusty Mars in Scorpio makes way for plenty of romantic opportunities!
Money/Work: It’s your calm confidence that impresses the powers that be and magically opens doors. Money’s meant to flow to you this May thanks to the powerful Solar Eclipse on the 20th, but something needs to end in order for it to happen. Just do it! By December you’ve got enough cash stashed to take that dream vacation!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 20)
You’re re-inventing yourself on a whole new level! Yes, you’re coming into your own this year and claiming your power as you do it. You could find a whole new purpose, one that comes from deep within your soul. Your physical appearance may change too, or maybe it's just that fantastic new wardrobe that better reflects the real you?
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to follow my true bliss
Love: Relationships are a major focus this year, thanks to several eclipses in your love zone! The May 20th Solar Eclipse heralds the start of something big if you’re single, but only if you can keep it real! Unrealistic expectations are a real possibility now, but will only lead to disillusionment. The June 4th Eclipse brings an opportunity to resolve an old issue once and for all. Take it! Work it in February and April when gorgeous Venus shows you in your very best light.
Money/Work: Christmas comes late this year (say, mid January), as a pay raise or profit boost puts an extra jingle in your pocketbook! It’s largely due to your own hard work too. Kudos! Grab an opportunity that allows you to acquire more knowledge this spring! Upgrade your skill set, or choose to become an expert in your field. Your income and reputation reap the benefits!
Capricorn (December 21 - January 20)
You’re busy this year! I mean, really busy. Maybe even too busy. You’re able to make short work of lists, keep appointments and streamline procedures to make your life even more efficient than it invariably already is. This is all well and good, but this year you’re being asked to stop rowing that boat quite so hard. The river will actually carry you if you let it!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to go with the flow
Love: A workplace romance has excitement written all over it this spring, but tread carefully! Venus in retrograde says it could backfire on you (and your job!) if you’re not careful. You’ll know by June 30th if it (or he!) is worth it. A secret is revealed this summer, or maybe you’ve got something under wraps yourself? March and August look spectacular for love!
Money/Work: No one likes a workaholic. It makes the rest of us look bad! With responsible Saturn in your career zone though, you’ve been giving it all you’ve got for the past two years. Think about resting on your laurels a bit more as Saturn prepares to leave this zone for good in October. He does leave you with lovely parting gifts, however (think stellar reputation and kick up the ladder of success)!
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
You’ve been focusing on the ‘other’ people in your life for a while now! Relationships of all kinds have been up for review, and this includes your significant other, business partner, financial consultant, therapist, platonic pal or anyone you have one-on-one interactions with on a regular basis. You’re continuing to do so this year too (especially March through July) but now you get to truly see who has your back. You may be surprised!
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to only allow in love
Love: There’s a lot going on romantically this year, but the level of drama is directly proportional to the choices you make! Stay away from messy love triangles. If he’s not available now, then he’s not the one for you. An old flame could make a new entrance in May or June, but it's the August 18th New Moon that could bring the arrival of someone significant. Your charm and sex appeal are magnified when Venus aligns with your sign January 1 - 15th and June 28 - August 5th!
Money/Work: Applying more creativity to your job will open doors! In fact, things start to really move as hard-working and studious Saturn enters your career zone in October. A new position with more responsibility and more pay (and more time spent!) seems daunting, but you’re more than up for the challenge!
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Focus on your public and professional life! Want to start your own business or make a name for yourself in some way? This is your year! Actors or people who work before the public net positive reviews and a soaring reputation. As one of the more sensitive signs, you usually prefer to work behind the scenes. This year though, you’re challenged to show up and take full credit. And yes, you may even see your name in lights (or at least in the newspaper!).
Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to allow myself to be in the limelight
Love: Make love, not war! Feisty, passionate and assertive Mars hangs out in your relationship zone for a full six months from January 1st to July 4th! He demands an outlet for his powerful energies too, so avoid petty quarrels and channel him through more enjoyable passionate pursuits instead (we’re sure you can think of a few!).
Money/Work: No matter what you do, the attention is on you! Your star is shining bright this year, and you get noticed by all the right people at all the right times. All you really have to do is show up, make an effort, and the rest just seemingly falls into place. This is not the year to rest on your laurels!
