Aries (Fire sign): March 21 -- April 19
Personal theme: I am!!
Epigram: Usually, when you make even tough decisions, you consider every option, commit, then move on. Instead, ensure arrangements are flexible enough to ride out this week`s twists and turns. Some are minor, others more significant but most will mean rethinking things, possibly several times. Annoying as this is now, you`ll be free to take advantage of the insights trigged by the New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Take time out of your schedule early this week to take care of basic concerns like health and housework. Your responsibilities might weigh more heavily on you than usual. During the middle part of the week, you`ll want to make sure to listen to what those close to you are really saying -- use your intuition, even if you don`t fully trust it. Emotional difficulties will pop up on Friday and Saturday, and you might feel upset for no reason that you can discern. Your mood will lift by Sunday, and you`ll feel like taking on the world again.
You won`t get your way in everything. Instead of arguing with others, pour your energy into more positive productive pursuits. Those closest to you are vying for your attention. Arrange a special outing. You`ll be surprised how much fun you have when you escape from your day to day environment. Do you already have a partner? Take this opportunity to sneak off to a private hideaway with your amour. Take some time off work, hire a babysitter and enjoy life.
Your career path should draw significant attention this week. That doesn`t mean that everything will run smoothly, but it does suggest that a review of recent experience will be taken into account as plans are made for 2016. Your particular expertise - which is not the same as your qualifications - could be given careful consideration. With Mercury aspect in Uranus (travelling through your sign) on Monday, if you want to step out from one career path and into another, this could be the moment. Breaking free of old restrictions might then suit you - even if you know that entry into a new scene would bring with it its own responsibilities and obligations. Of course, it`s always possible that this will be thrust upon you by someone who`s mentioned your name casually in dispatches in the early part of January and who really believes that 2016 should be your year.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Taurus (Earth sign): April 20 -- May 20
Personal theme: I have!!
Epigram: Clearly, changes in your work or lifestyle are in the air. While only recently you were wary of these, now you`re concerned because their extent and timing are unclear. This is no surprise, since the foundation on which they`re based is itself shifting. Aim to concentrate on which habits, and which goals, you could do without. You may soon have reason to say farewell to them.
Outline: You`ll feel a buzz of romance early in the week -- either a new crush or a strengthening of your current relationship. Flowers are perfect right now. Excitement won`t wait for you midweek, so you`ll have to hurry to catch up to it. It won`t require much energy to get going, and once you do, the good times will keep coming of their own accord. Emotional connections of all sorts will deepen early in the weekend. Try to stick with those you already like or love -- others will grate on you more than usual.
Someone has been working hard behind the scenes to undermine you. No matter how hard you try, you won`t be able to find out exactly why, when or how they are doing this. Rise above it and find a healthy outlet for your social impulses. Joining a club devoted to your favourite hobby will be fun. You`ll love talking about art, music and culture with other creative types. If you`re single, you`ll meet someone special at one of these meetings. You`ll make a great couple.
Between 2008 and 2024, Venus has formed a conjunction with Pluto in another of the Earth signs annually. You could think of this as an insistent voice demanding that you consider your expertise and qualifications and how much time you ought to invest in improving these. Even for those already considered experts in their field, the need to rejuvenate and revitalise is strong. For some this might involve saving a library or archive project from destruction. Though this campaign may have begun some years ago, in 2016 you might decide it`s time to be more active within a team. Treasures, antiquities, legacies and long-term savings plans are also likely to be given extra attention this week. Another possibility is that links with a destination far away have increased in recent years and that before next weekend, plans for developing these further both this year and next, will gather momentum. It`s entirely possible that a commercial alliance will be formed.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Gemini (Air sign): May 21 -- June 20
Personal theme: I think!!
Epigram: Judging by the presence of your ruler Mercury in practical Capricorn for six weeks, from early January until mid-February, you`re in the midst of dealing with what you earn, your possessions and various responsibilities. While you`ve resolved numerous issues, a few contentious matters remain. Many involve difficult people or are complex. These demand you be patient, uncharacteristically so. You`ll conquer them, but it will take time.
Outline: On Monday and Tuesday, make sure you plan out everything you want to say to close friends and family in advance. Ad-libbing will be harder than usual. Your brain will be working overtime midweek, but will have troubles with multitasking. Try to stick with one project at a time when possible. Slow down on Friday and Saturday and take care of the fundamentals -- your health in particular. There`s no urgent crisis looming, but you`re in a good place to check in with your body. If you`ve been waiting to take action, jump on Sunday.
You`re tired of being pushed around by thoughtless people. Although you have good ideas and excellent thoughts on how to improve things for yourself and your environment, you`re dealing with spendthrifts who only think about their own needs. Stop bending over backwards to accommodate them. Continue to make sound financial decisions. Your sensible behaviour will bring the results you want. If you`ve been looking for a job, you`ll be offered one with great benefits.
The need to break away from old routines and find a different way of working will surely be strong as this week begins. It might now be time to appraise the added value you`ve given to a project in the last two years. You might also need to decide whether or not you want to invest in this further. It may be that the time has come to move on. That could also apply to ownership of an item that you now no longer love or need. It might soon be necessary to obtain valuations. Though you might at first be both angry, frustrated and irritated by a close colleague`s statements, it is as likely that their `line in the sand` will prove useful in determining which direction you should take next. It may be that this working partnership has now run its course. In acknowledging this, you also make way for the new. It`s entirely possible that before next weekend, you`ll attract exactly the right kind of enthusiastic and encouraging team that makes work a pleasure for the next few months at least.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Cancer (Water sign): June 21 -- July 22
Personal theme: I feel!!
Epigram: Ordinarily your instincts are reliable about when to push and, as important, taking it easy. Still, it`s tricky. While some matters need urgent attention, by no means will decisions be final. Actually, this is more about what must go. Be tough. What you say farewell to now is clearing the way for the intriguing ideas and offers kick-started by the New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Make yourself heard early this week -- you`ll have a gift for words that will help you get what you want. It`s a good time for making plans with family and friends. On Wednesday andThursday there will be tensions around the house as conflicting ideas seek resolution. Emotions deepen later in the week, and you might feel pressure from within to take action that you`re unsure of. Wait until it feels right. Take lots of time for yourselfon Sunday. You shouldn`t have too many interruptions, but feel free to say no to any of them.
A current situation has become unbearable. People around you have put your plans and ambitions in jeopardy. You`re tired of waiting for others to see what`s going on. Fortunately, you have an opportunity to make money from your creative efforts. Selling your work online or at a boutique will be profitable. Go ahead and take the plunge. You`ll enjoy focusing on projects that make personal statements. Being mere cog in a big machine has little charm for you.
It would be wholly understandable if you felt torn in two. At one level you might wish to be free of drudgery and to break a routine. On the other hand, you might crave having a routine you can rely on. Around the Last Quarter Moon that begins February if you felt fractionally out of sorts. You will surely feel better before next weekend and after certain decisions are made. It might also help the smooth running of your affairs, if minor repairs were carried out. In fact, that might not be such a bad way of spending the next few days. In fixing things you might discover that you end up with a valuable extra few minutes in each day that you can then devote to developing a hobby. With Venus and Pluto aligning in your opposite sign next weekend, you should find that others are fully supportive of your plans and happy to assist you in finding both the time and space to develop an interest and passion.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Leo (Fire sign): July 23 -- August 22
Personal theme: I will!!
Epigram: Often, when others are being difficult or circumstances are impossible and seem of little importance, you`ll simply ignore situations, even those others insist are pressing. Do that this week and you risk leaving decisions to others regarding matters that will, in time, influence you; but also, issues on the domestic front are looming. Give these priority. The rest can wait until the facts are clearer.
Outline: On Monday, you`ll feel an unusually conservative phase take over your life path, but it won`t last very long. Expect to feel a little like a fish out of water, but also to take better care of yourself. You`ll be the perfect diplomat midweek, as almost everyone will find you agreeable and follow you anywhere. Take quick action to exploit it. Don`t accept anything at face value over the weekend. If you`re careful, an antiquing expedition will yield some great finds. Sunday will bring a change of pace that you`ll find exhilarating.
It will be impossible to handle a job if you don`t have any training or experience. Bite the bullet and hire a professional. Although you want to save money, you`ll lose a significant amount if you tackle this p0articular project yourself. Fortunately, a relative is poised to give you some financial help. Accept their generous gift; it will help you out of this difficult situation. A romance with someone who is much older or younger will bring out the best in you. Take a chance.
The end of January / beginning of February should find you in determined mood. The Last Quarter Moon on Monday is in another of the Fixed signs. Looking back over the last couple of years, you might decide there are certain matters that simply have to be brought to a conclusion - even if that means reviewing a contract or breaking it. There`s high probability of agreeing a revised timetable before next weekend. In so doing, not only could you curtail some costs but might also find a way to boost your asset base. Renewed contact with someone younger and who perhaps lives some distance away, could act as yet another spur to pushing forward in the direction you want for 2016. In the latter half of the week someone whom until now has failed to deliver on promises could finally come through.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Virgo (Earth sign): August 23 -- September 22
Personal theme: I analyze!!
Epigram: You`re worryingly short of reliable information. Yet with so much changing so swiftly, you`re not alone. Work closely with others to gather what facts you can, remembering that even the simplest of arrangements must be regarded as tentative. Actually, that`s best; as it gives you time not only to explore what`s happening in the world around you but also to rethink your own goals and objectives.
Outline: You`ll be fully engaged with the world Monday and Tuesday -- expect to achieve a lot. Your talent for organization will be the key to your success. At some point in the middle of the week, you`ll be torn about an important decision. You`ll surprise yourself and others by taking a bold and unusual action. Your feelings will be running more deeply than you know through the weekend, so it`s a good time to take a good hard look at yourself. Try not to let yourself get too tied up in obligations Sunday.
An unexpected expense will knock a hole in your budget. It may be necessary to cut back on creature comforts for the immediate future. Fortunately, that won`t make much difference to you. You could be very busy with a captivating new project that will seem to take over your every waking moment. It will take time to master new skills and methodologies, so be patient. Fortunately, you`ve been blessed with a terrific work ethic and that keeps driving you forward.
The week opens with a Last Quarter Moon. The energy between this and the New Moon on Monday 8th, is near perfect for tidying up loose ends. If there is a danger, it`s that a new idea may be thrown your way on Monday. The temptation to run with this ball rather than resolving old issues could be great. Family matters however are likely to be pressing. These could be property or even legacy related. Determining what is rightfully yours and ensuring its security might need to take priority over everything else. It is entirely possible however that before the end of this week and ahead of the New Moon, you could both tie up loose ends, and form alliance whose objectives now tie in with your own. Those born under the signs of Taurus, Libra and Capricorn could each in their own way give plentiful assistance.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Libra (Air sign): September 23 -- October 22
Personal theme: I balance!!
Epigram: Since late January you`ve been conducting a review of both the structure of your life, at home and out in the world, and your activities. You`ve learnt a lot and changed a lot but remain frustratingly unclear about a couple of crucial matters. Explore your options but don`t force issues. Changes continue until mid-February, which means decisions will probably have to wait until then.
Outline: You can take care of yourself this week, especially in the early days. Don`t think poorly of others who seem to drop the ball -- you don`t need them as much as you thought you did. The middle part of the week is perfectly balanced between all the positive aspects of your life. It`s a great time to soak up some art or natural beauty. Philanthropy will play apart in your weekend activities, and you`ll want to go all-out. Try to leave a little for yourself. Reach out to old friends on Sunday. It`s a great time to rekindle old relationships.
A business or romantic partner is behaving strangely. You`re tired of walking on eggshells. If they aren`t willing to lend some stability to your home life, it is time to change course. Moving into your own place could bring some relief. A social butterfly like you needs a quiet place to rest your wings. When you`re not in the public eye, you devote yourself to artistic pursuits that recharge your batteries. Reading books and watching documentaries help replenish your energy.
You could be thrown into a spin at the beginning of this week. Of course, it`s always possible that a scheduled meeting on Monday turns out to be something of a damp squib. It`s perhaps more likely that you will be asked to consider a long-term position. Whether it`s right for something that`s been temporary to become more permanent would obviously depend much on your personal chart. It`s perhaps worth noting however, that next weekend Venus, your ruling planet, makes aspect with both Uranus and Pluto. You might recall that these two planets were at apparent right angles to one another between 2010 and 2015. No doubt you experienced particular turbulence and change of direction through those years. A reward might now await. What seems likely is that your profile with regard to a particular expertise will be raised and that within the first two weeks of February, you will have much to think about as regards taking on tasks and developing relationships that bring out the best in you.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Scorpio (Water sign): October 23 -- November 21
Personal theme: I desire!!
Epigram: Few things are as frustrating as watching carefully thought-out plans come undone. However, the foundation on which these are based is shifting, often and occasionally dramatically. While you can`t stop organising things, you can ensure what you arrange is flexible enough to ride out the current twists and turns. Ironically, what you learn from this process will benefit you hugely, now and in the future.
Outline: Sometimes the best way you can help people is to keep your mouth shut. Early in the week, that`s just what you`ll have to do, though a secret is desperately trying to escape your lips. Your subconscious will be working overtime on Wednesday andThursday, and should churn up lots of new and creative ideas. Make sure that you write them down or talk them out. As the weekend arrives, you`ll find strangers and friends drawn to you as if by magic; your self-confidence should shoot through the roof. Be wary of other people`s schemes on Sunday.
Getting a steady job won`t be as easy as you think. Someone who said they could help you find a position will go back on their word at the last minute. Try not to panic. You`ll be able to make money running a small business of your own. Watching people`s pets, running errands for a busy executive or doing some childcare are all good ways to generate income. The situation may not be permanent, but it will help you pay the bills until something better comes along.
Monday`s Last Quarter Moon is in your sign. Coupled with two positive aspects occurring mid-week, it`s entirely possible that you could negotiate a corner with ease. This could be either ethical or financial. Though this might seem unlikely on Sunday, telephone calls and e-mails taking place on Monday could result in a significant breakthrough. Any nervous tension should reduce accordingly. A strong possibility is that someone who has been a key player in your life since 2010, will come up with a plan that is to your joint benefit. For some, this could also be a week of breakthroughs in medical matters. Of course, it is entirely possible that if mentally you feel better then there will be physical benefits too. At a different level entirely, the sale of an object could bring in more cash than originally anticipated. It might also be that a connection made through this sale, will lead to discussions about further asset management.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Sagittarius (Fire sign): November 22 -- December 21
Personal theme: I see!!
Epigram: As long as they don`t disrupt your life or cost you money, you don`t generally care about the behind the scenes manoeuvres of others. Yet at the moment, you`re seriously annoyed by the activities of certain individuals. Worse, they genuinely don`t understand why you`re upset. The solution? For now, distance yourself from their antics and in the future, determine who`s in charge of arrangements.
Outline: Ease up on your frantic pace on Monday; you`ll miss too much if you keep rushing. It`s not a good time to ask for favours from the boss or others in authority. Others in your peer groups will turn to you for answers midweek, and you`ll feel totally at ease dispensing advice. Odds are that you won`t feel like socializing much over the weekend -- feel free to curl up at home with a good book and a playlist. You`ll snap back into action some time Sunday, and will find yourself the target of a secret or very public admirer.
A risk probably won`t pay off, making you extremely upset. Let this be a lesson on how you handle your hard earned cash. If you want to create a stable financial foundation, you should do it slowly. Put a portion of each pay cheque into a retirement or savings fund. Don`t let anybody else know about your nest egg. The last thing you want is for everyone to come running to you for loans. Sometimes you have to be selfish to protect your interests. Keep quiet about your fiscal affairs.
Between Monday`s Last Quarter Moon and the New Moon onFebruary 8th a clearing up operation could begin in earnest. This might be considered the optimum time to get rid of items that are no longer loved or needed. With the assistance of a colleague probably form a different generation, much could be achieved before the weekend. Your ruling planet Jupiter, and its relative position to Pluto are considered to be part of a wealth cycle. This arrives at fresh phase at the end of this week. If it`s not the sale of an item, the other possibility is that developments in the life of a close colleague or associate will cause you to take stock. It may be that both of you need to make room for opportunities likely to develop from the New Moon. This could be linked to news being brought by a neighbour who`s been travelling. They may have a suggestion as to how you could work together to improve the quality of both your lives.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Capricorn (Earth sign): December 22 -- January 19
Personal theme: I use!!
Epigram: Late last year you began questioning various elements of your life. While some answers appeared swiftly, you`re still wrestling with those that involve what you get for your time, efforts and even the attitude of loved ones. Now the remaining issues come to a head. Often what emerges is both obvious and a relief but a few make you realise you`ve lots of thinking to do.
Outline: Do your homework on Monday and you`ll get a lot more done than you`d anticipated. It`s an excellent time to get the inside info on anything you`re curious about. Work or school will consume most of your time midweek, but it might feel like you`re spinning your wheels. Make sure your priorities are right. By Friday you`ll be feeling a little unreal or detached from life, but your closest friend can help reel you back in. Your ideals will come to the forefront on Sunday -- you might feel like making a course correction.
Your bright ideas won`t get the enthusiastic reception you`d hopes for. Your nearest and dearest don`t want to alter the routine. Although it`s in everybody`s best interests to change, your relatives won`t listen to reason. As a result, you might have to embark on a project alone. Starting a business with friends is a strong possibility. You`ll have to work on a shoestring budget at first, but this situation will be temporary. Soon, you`ll reap impressive results, making you proud.
It might seem to you that - and not for the first time, - you`re being called on to resolve a mess. Focused attention could resolve the situation. It`s as likely that you could get someone who knows they haven`t acted efficiently, to explain exactly where they got to with a project. This may be the very information you need to both resolve the past and push things forward at speed. It`s highly unlikely that you can please all the people all of the time and could meet significant resistance from someone, probably born under Aries, who has their own political agenda. It may be that working in harmony with this person is simply not possible - at least for now. A war of words is likely. It`s probable however that your status and position will mean that you win this round - even if you have some anxiety as to how the two of you are going to work together later in the year.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Aquarius (Air sign): January 20 -- February 18
Personal theme: I know!!
Epigram: Being an inquisitive air sign, you get involved in new ideas because they intrigue you, not to create anything lasting. Yet if you`re not careful, by the week`s close you could become so enmeshed in certain arrangements you`ll have difficulty extricating yourself, especially when you want to respond to the remarkable ideas, offers and insights triggered by the Aquarius New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Take care of details at home or at work as early as possible this week, but make sure that you check them with others first. It`s entirely likely that you will be working at cross-purposes if you don`t communicate clearly. Good times are coming in the middle of the week. You`ll experience something entirely new to you that might involve a small change of lifestyle. Take time for yourself to sort through your feelings over the weekend, in private if possible. Big ideas will be tossed around all day Sunday; stick with the few you like best and run with them.
Harsh words from an official will make you firstly frustrated and then very angry. Resist the temptation to lash out at their criticisms. Instead, take deep breaths and keep calm. The diplomatic, unflustered way you handle this particular situation will earn you admirers. Don`t be surprised if you are offered an interesting position at an impressive company. Not only will you enjoy this role, but you`ll reap the benefits of a handsome retirement package. Go for it.
The New Moon in your sign is on February 8. In the days leading up to this, you won`t be the only sign of the zodiac embarked on a clearing up operation. It may be that you are now regarded as a key member of a team. Your approach and grand vision could be much appreciated. Yet this is likely to bring with it extra responsibilities. It wouldn`t be so surprising if you were asked to accept some kind of job title. This may be something you want to think about carefully. If it could be made temporary - perhaps lasting no more than two years, - maybe you would be happy to accept. The very end of this week, as Venus moves to conjunction with Pluto, the potential for reviving an old working partnership increases. This might not be something you had on your original agenda for 2016. At some level you might even feel stopped in your tracks by the possibility. It may be that you need to ask for time to consider this given the breakdown of trust that existed in the past.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Pisces (Water sign): February 19 -- March 20
Personal theme: I believe!!
Epigram: The most challenging element of this week is accepting that certain situations you thought were in perfect order aren`t. Rather, things are in chaos. Actually, this is good timing, simply because the foundation on which some of these plans are based is shifting. Knowing that, seek a quick fix. This gives you time to reconsider your long term priorities and rethink your game plan.
Outline: Don`t worry too much about whether you`re doing the right thing on Monday. Jump into action and you`ll soon see how much help you`re providing. Clean house, literally or figuratively, in the middle of the week. It doesn`t have to be 100% thorough, but your space should be ready for new action soon. Be wary of signing any documents on Friday or Saturday; you`ll be feeling a little less able to say no, even to deals you`re not sure about. Work problems might arise on Sunday, but you`ll know how to handle them if they do.
An unstable financial situation is affecting your social life. You aren`t able to go to some of your usual haunts or take too many holidays with friends. Instead of pretending all is well, be honest about your money problems. Your loved ones will be happy to adjust their plans to accommodate you. Getting expert training will be a great way to increase your income. Work with an expert that can ease you into a new line of work. You won`t regret this decision.
The period between Monday`s Last Quarter Moon (in another of the Water signs) and next Monday`s New Moon, offers a stabilising period for many signs. In your case, assessing knowledge, experience and qualifications may be the first step in identifying what needs to be changed on your c.v. Soon, self-marketing could become priority. Midweek it might be suggested that this has been an issue for some time. It might also be thought that you`ve lost confidence. Proving others wrong before your birthday could be your next big challenge. Help may be on the horizon however. Someone whom you see rarely but who visits or makes contact around this time of year and who brings tales of adventure could bring inspiration. Their promise to maintain better contact and help you through the next few months may be just what`s needed to truly kick-start 2016 - even if that`s a little late.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
If you`re born within cusp period (16 to 26 of any month); you`re advised to read horoscopes of both signs covered by that period. You`re in the border; you may have influences from both houses of those signs.
Outlines are longer versions; consists of every possible details of today and based on three parts of each sign: 1st, 2nd & 3rd Decan; that is, any of three divisions of 10° within a sign of the zodiac.

Aries (Fire sign): March 21 -- April 19
Personal theme: I am!!
Epigram: Usually, when you make even tough decisions, you consider every option, commit, then move on. Instead, ensure arrangements are flexible enough to ride out this week`s twists and turns. Some are minor, others more significant but most will mean rethinking things, possibly several times. Annoying as this is now, you`ll be free to take advantage of the insights trigged by the New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Take time out of your schedule early this week to take care of basic concerns like health and housework. Your responsibilities might weigh more heavily on you than usual. During the middle part of the week, you`ll want to make sure to listen to what those close to you are really saying -- use your intuition, even if you don`t fully trust it. Emotional difficulties will pop up on Friday and Saturday, and you might feel upset for no reason that you can discern. Your mood will lift by Sunday, and you`ll feel like taking on the world again.
You won`t get your way in everything. Instead of arguing with others, pour your energy into more positive productive pursuits. Those closest to you are vying for your attention. Arrange a special outing. You`ll be surprised how much fun you have when you escape from your day to day environment. Do you already have a partner? Take this opportunity to sneak off to a private hideaway with your amour. Take some time off work, hire a babysitter and enjoy life.
Your career path should draw significant attention this week. That doesn`t mean that everything will run smoothly, but it does suggest that a review of recent experience will be taken into account as plans are made for 2016. Your particular expertise - which is not the same as your qualifications - could be given careful consideration. With Mercury aspect in Uranus (travelling through your sign) on Monday, if you want to step out from one career path and into another, this could be the moment. Breaking free of old restrictions might then suit you - even if you know that entry into a new scene would bring with it its own responsibilities and obligations. Of course, it`s always possible that this will be thrust upon you by someone who`s mentioned your name casually in dispatches in the early part of January and who really believes that 2016 should be your year.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Taurus (Earth sign): April 20 -- May 20
Personal theme: I have!!
Epigram: Clearly, changes in your work or lifestyle are in the air. While only recently you were wary of these, now you`re concerned because their extent and timing are unclear. This is no surprise, since the foundation on which they`re based is itself shifting. Aim to concentrate on which habits, and which goals, you could do without. You may soon have reason to say farewell to them.
Outline: You`ll feel a buzz of romance early in the week -- either a new crush or a strengthening of your current relationship. Flowers are perfect right now. Excitement won`t wait for you midweek, so you`ll have to hurry to catch up to it. It won`t require much energy to get going, and once you do, the good times will keep coming of their own accord. Emotional connections of all sorts will deepen early in the weekend. Try to stick with those you already like or love -- others will grate on you more than usual.
Someone has been working hard behind the scenes to undermine you. No matter how hard you try, you won`t be able to find out exactly why, when or how they are doing this. Rise above it and find a healthy outlet for your social impulses. Joining a club devoted to your favourite hobby will be fun. You`ll love talking about art, music and culture with other creative types. If you`re single, you`ll meet someone special at one of these meetings. You`ll make a great couple.
Between 2008 and 2024, Venus has formed a conjunction with Pluto in another of the Earth signs annually. You could think of this as an insistent voice demanding that you consider your expertise and qualifications and how much time you ought to invest in improving these. Even for those already considered experts in their field, the need to rejuvenate and revitalise is strong. For some this might involve saving a library or archive project from destruction. Though this campaign may have begun some years ago, in 2016 you might decide it`s time to be more active within a team. Treasures, antiquities, legacies and long-term savings plans are also likely to be given extra attention this week. Another possibility is that links with a destination far away have increased in recent years and that before next weekend, plans for developing these further both this year and next, will gather momentum. It`s entirely possible that a commercial alliance will be formed.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Gemini (Air sign): May 21 -- June 20
Personal theme: I think!!
Epigram: Judging by the presence of your ruler Mercury in practical Capricorn for six weeks, from early January until mid-February, you`re in the midst of dealing with what you earn, your possessions and various responsibilities. While you`ve resolved numerous issues, a few contentious matters remain. Many involve difficult people or are complex. These demand you be patient, uncharacteristically so. You`ll conquer them, but it will take time.
Outline: On Monday and Tuesday, make sure you plan out everything you want to say to close friends and family in advance. Ad-libbing will be harder than usual. Your brain will be working overtime midweek, but will have troubles with multitasking. Try to stick with one project at a time when possible. Slow down on Friday and Saturday and take care of the fundamentals -- your health in particular. There`s no urgent crisis looming, but you`re in a good place to check in with your body. If you`ve been waiting to take action, jump on Sunday.
You`re tired of being pushed around by thoughtless people. Although you have good ideas and excellent thoughts on how to improve things for yourself and your environment, you`re dealing with spendthrifts who only think about their own needs. Stop bending over backwards to accommodate them. Continue to make sound financial decisions. Your sensible behaviour will bring the results you want. If you`ve been looking for a job, you`ll be offered one with great benefits.
The need to break away from old routines and find a different way of working will surely be strong as this week begins. It might now be time to appraise the added value you`ve given to a project in the last two years. You might also need to decide whether or not you want to invest in this further. It may be that the time has come to move on. That could also apply to ownership of an item that you now no longer love or need. It might soon be necessary to obtain valuations. Though you might at first be both angry, frustrated and irritated by a close colleague`s statements, it is as likely that their `line in the sand` will prove useful in determining which direction you should take next. It may be that this working partnership has now run its course. In acknowledging this, you also make way for the new. It`s entirely possible that before next weekend, you`ll attract exactly the right kind of enthusiastic and encouraging team that makes work a pleasure for the next few months at least.

Cancer (Water sign): June 21 -- July 22
Personal theme: I feel!!
Epigram: Ordinarily your instincts are reliable about when to push and, as important, taking it easy. Still, it`s tricky. While some matters need urgent attention, by no means will decisions be final. Actually, this is more about what must go. Be tough. What you say farewell to now is clearing the way for the intriguing ideas and offers kick-started by the New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Make yourself heard early this week -- you`ll have a gift for words that will help you get what you want. It`s a good time for making plans with family and friends. On Wednesday andThursday there will be tensions around the house as conflicting ideas seek resolution. Emotions deepen later in the week, and you might feel pressure from within to take action that you`re unsure of. Wait until it feels right. Take lots of time for yourselfon Sunday. You shouldn`t have too many interruptions, but feel free to say no to any of them.
A current situation has become unbearable. People around you have put your plans and ambitions in jeopardy. You`re tired of waiting for others to see what`s going on. Fortunately, you have an opportunity to make money from your creative efforts. Selling your work online or at a boutique will be profitable. Go ahead and take the plunge. You`ll enjoy focusing on projects that make personal statements. Being mere cog in a big machine has little charm for you.
It would be wholly understandable if you felt torn in two. At one level you might wish to be free of drudgery and to break a routine. On the other hand, you might crave having a routine you can rely on. Around the Last Quarter Moon that begins February if you felt fractionally out of sorts. You will surely feel better before next weekend and after certain decisions are made. It might also help the smooth running of your affairs, if minor repairs were carried out. In fact, that might not be such a bad way of spending the next few days. In fixing things you might discover that you end up with a valuable extra few minutes in each day that you can then devote to developing a hobby. With Venus and Pluto aligning in your opposite sign next weekend, you should find that others are fully supportive of your plans and happy to assist you in finding both the time and space to develop an interest and passion.

Leo (Fire sign): July 23 -- August 22
Personal theme: I will!!
Epigram: Often, when others are being difficult or circumstances are impossible and seem of little importance, you`ll simply ignore situations, even those others insist are pressing. Do that this week and you risk leaving decisions to others regarding matters that will, in time, influence you; but also, issues on the domestic front are looming. Give these priority. The rest can wait until the facts are clearer.
Outline: On Monday, you`ll feel an unusually conservative phase take over your life path, but it won`t last very long. Expect to feel a little like a fish out of water, but also to take better care of yourself. You`ll be the perfect diplomat midweek, as almost everyone will find you agreeable and follow you anywhere. Take quick action to exploit it. Don`t accept anything at face value over the weekend. If you`re careful, an antiquing expedition will yield some great finds. Sunday will bring a change of pace that you`ll find exhilarating.
It will be impossible to handle a job if you don`t have any training or experience. Bite the bullet and hire a professional. Although you want to save money, you`ll lose a significant amount if you tackle this p0articular project yourself. Fortunately, a relative is poised to give you some financial help. Accept their generous gift; it will help you out of this difficult situation. A romance with someone who is much older or younger will bring out the best in you. Take a chance.
The end of January / beginning of February should find you in determined mood. The Last Quarter Moon on Monday is in another of the Fixed signs. Looking back over the last couple of years, you might decide there are certain matters that simply have to be brought to a conclusion - even if that means reviewing a contract or breaking it. There`s high probability of agreeing a revised timetable before next weekend. In so doing, not only could you curtail some costs but might also find a way to boost your asset base. Renewed contact with someone younger and who perhaps lives some distance away, could act as yet another spur to pushing forward in the direction you want for 2016. In the latter half of the week someone whom until now has failed to deliver on promises could finally come through.

Virgo (Earth sign): August 23 -- September 22
Personal theme: I analyze!!
Epigram: You`re worryingly short of reliable information. Yet with so much changing so swiftly, you`re not alone. Work closely with others to gather what facts you can, remembering that even the simplest of arrangements must be regarded as tentative. Actually, that`s best; as it gives you time not only to explore what`s happening in the world around you but also to rethink your own goals and objectives.
Outline: You`ll be fully engaged with the world Monday and Tuesday -- expect to achieve a lot. Your talent for organization will be the key to your success. At some point in the middle of the week, you`ll be torn about an important decision. You`ll surprise yourself and others by taking a bold and unusual action. Your feelings will be running more deeply than you know through the weekend, so it`s a good time to take a good hard look at yourself. Try not to let yourself get too tied up in obligations Sunday.
An unexpected expense will knock a hole in your budget. It may be necessary to cut back on creature comforts for the immediate future. Fortunately, that won`t make much difference to you. You could be very busy with a captivating new project that will seem to take over your every waking moment. It will take time to master new skills and methodologies, so be patient. Fortunately, you`ve been blessed with a terrific work ethic and that keeps driving you forward.
The week opens with a Last Quarter Moon. The energy between this and the New Moon on Monday 8th, is near perfect for tidying up loose ends. If there is a danger, it`s that a new idea may be thrown your way on Monday. The temptation to run with this ball rather than resolving old issues could be great. Family matters however are likely to be pressing. These could be property or even legacy related. Determining what is rightfully yours and ensuring its security might need to take priority over everything else. It is entirely possible however that before the end of this week and ahead of the New Moon, you could both tie up loose ends, and form alliance whose objectives now tie in with your own. Those born under the signs of Taurus, Libra and Capricorn could each in their own way give plentiful assistance.

Libra (Air sign): September 23 -- October 22
Personal theme: I balance!!
Epigram: Since late January you`ve been conducting a review of both the structure of your life, at home and out in the world, and your activities. You`ve learnt a lot and changed a lot but remain frustratingly unclear about a couple of crucial matters. Explore your options but don`t force issues. Changes continue until mid-February, which means decisions will probably have to wait until then.
Outline: You can take care of yourself this week, especially in the early days. Don`t think poorly of others who seem to drop the ball -- you don`t need them as much as you thought you did. The middle part of the week is perfectly balanced between all the positive aspects of your life. It`s a great time to soak up some art or natural beauty. Philanthropy will play apart in your weekend activities, and you`ll want to go all-out. Try to leave a little for yourself. Reach out to old friends on Sunday. It`s a great time to rekindle old relationships.
A business or romantic partner is behaving strangely. You`re tired of walking on eggshells. If they aren`t willing to lend some stability to your home life, it is time to change course. Moving into your own place could bring some relief. A social butterfly like you needs a quiet place to rest your wings. When you`re not in the public eye, you devote yourself to artistic pursuits that recharge your batteries. Reading books and watching documentaries help replenish your energy.
You could be thrown into a spin at the beginning of this week. Of course, it`s always possible that a scheduled meeting on Monday turns out to be something of a damp squib. It`s perhaps more likely that you will be asked to consider a long-term position. Whether it`s right for something that`s been temporary to become more permanent would obviously depend much on your personal chart. It`s perhaps worth noting however, that next weekend Venus, your ruling planet, makes aspect with both Uranus and Pluto. You might recall that these two planets were at apparent right angles to one another between 2010 and 2015. No doubt you experienced particular turbulence and change of direction through those years. A reward might now await. What seems likely is that your profile with regard to a particular expertise will be raised and that within the first two weeks of February, you will have much to think about as regards taking on tasks and developing relationships that bring out the best in you.

Scorpio (Water sign): October 23 -- November 21
Personal theme: I desire!!
Epigram: Few things are as frustrating as watching carefully thought-out plans come undone. However, the foundation on which these are based is shifting, often and occasionally dramatically. While you can`t stop organising things, you can ensure what you arrange is flexible enough to ride out the current twists and turns. Ironically, what you learn from this process will benefit you hugely, now and in the future.
Outline: Sometimes the best way you can help people is to keep your mouth shut. Early in the week, that`s just what you`ll have to do, though a secret is desperately trying to escape your lips. Your subconscious will be working overtime on Wednesday andThursday, and should churn up lots of new and creative ideas. Make sure that you write them down or talk them out. As the weekend arrives, you`ll find strangers and friends drawn to you as if by magic; your self-confidence should shoot through the roof. Be wary of other people`s schemes on Sunday.
Getting a steady job won`t be as easy as you think. Someone who said they could help you find a position will go back on their word at the last minute. Try not to panic. You`ll be able to make money running a small business of your own. Watching people`s pets, running errands for a busy executive or doing some childcare are all good ways to generate income. The situation may not be permanent, but it will help you pay the bills until something better comes along.
Monday`s Last Quarter Moon is in your sign. Coupled with two positive aspects occurring mid-week, it`s entirely possible that you could negotiate a corner with ease. This could be either ethical or financial. Though this might seem unlikely on Sunday, telephone calls and e-mails taking place on Monday could result in a significant breakthrough. Any nervous tension should reduce accordingly. A strong possibility is that someone who has been a key player in your life since 2010, will come up with a plan that is to your joint benefit. For some, this could also be a week of breakthroughs in medical matters. Of course, it is entirely possible that if mentally you feel better then there will be physical benefits too. At a different level entirely, the sale of an object could bring in more cash than originally anticipated. It might also be that a connection made through this sale, will lead to discussions about further asset management.

Sagittarius (Fire sign): November 22 -- December 21
Personal theme: I see!!
Epigram: As long as they don`t disrupt your life or cost you money, you don`t generally care about the behind the scenes manoeuvres of others. Yet at the moment, you`re seriously annoyed by the activities of certain individuals. Worse, they genuinely don`t understand why you`re upset. The solution? For now, distance yourself from their antics and in the future, determine who`s in charge of arrangements.
Outline: Ease up on your frantic pace on Monday; you`ll miss too much if you keep rushing. It`s not a good time to ask for favours from the boss or others in authority. Others in your peer groups will turn to you for answers midweek, and you`ll feel totally at ease dispensing advice. Odds are that you won`t feel like socializing much over the weekend -- feel free to curl up at home with a good book and a playlist. You`ll snap back into action some time Sunday, and will find yourself the target of a secret or very public admirer.
A risk probably won`t pay off, making you extremely upset. Let this be a lesson on how you handle your hard earned cash. If you want to create a stable financial foundation, you should do it slowly. Put a portion of each pay cheque into a retirement or savings fund. Don`t let anybody else know about your nest egg. The last thing you want is for everyone to come running to you for loans. Sometimes you have to be selfish to protect your interests. Keep quiet about your fiscal affairs.
Between Monday`s Last Quarter Moon and the New Moon onFebruary 8th a clearing up operation could begin in earnest. This might be considered the optimum time to get rid of items that are no longer loved or needed. With the assistance of a colleague probably form a different generation, much could be achieved before the weekend. Your ruling planet Jupiter, and its relative position to Pluto are considered to be part of a wealth cycle. This arrives at fresh phase at the end of this week. If it`s not the sale of an item, the other possibility is that developments in the life of a close colleague or associate will cause you to take stock. It may be that both of you need to make room for opportunities likely to develop from the New Moon. This could be linked to news being brought by a neighbour who`s been travelling. They may have a suggestion as to how you could work together to improve the quality of both your lives.

Capricorn (Earth sign): December 22 -- January 19
Personal theme: I use!!
Epigram: Late last year you began questioning various elements of your life. While some answers appeared swiftly, you`re still wrestling with those that involve what you get for your time, efforts and even the attitude of loved ones. Now the remaining issues come to a head. Often what emerges is both obvious and a relief but a few make you realise you`ve lots of thinking to do.
Outline: Do your homework on Monday and you`ll get a lot more done than you`d anticipated. It`s an excellent time to get the inside info on anything you`re curious about. Work or school will consume most of your time midweek, but it might feel like you`re spinning your wheels. Make sure your priorities are right. By Friday you`ll be feeling a little unreal or detached from life, but your closest friend can help reel you back in. Your ideals will come to the forefront on Sunday -- you might feel like making a course correction.
Your bright ideas won`t get the enthusiastic reception you`d hopes for. Your nearest and dearest don`t want to alter the routine. Although it`s in everybody`s best interests to change, your relatives won`t listen to reason. As a result, you might have to embark on a project alone. Starting a business with friends is a strong possibility. You`ll have to work on a shoestring budget at first, but this situation will be temporary. Soon, you`ll reap impressive results, making you proud.
It might seem to you that - and not for the first time, - you`re being called on to resolve a mess. Focused attention could resolve the situation. It`s as likely that you could get someone who knows they haven`t acted efficiently, to explain exactly where they got to with a project. This may be the very information you need to both resolve the past and push things forward at speed. It`s highly unlikely that you can please all the people all of the time and could meet significant resistance from someone, probably born under Aries, who has their own political agenda. It may be that working in harmony with this person is simply not possible - at least for now. A war of words is likely. It`s probable however that your status and position will mean that you win this round - even if you have some anxiety as to how the two of you are going to work together later in the year.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Aquarius (Air sign): January 20 -- February 18
Personal theme: I know!!
Epigram: Being an inquisitive air sign, you get involved in new ideas because they intrigue you, not to create anything lasting. Yet if you`re not careful, by the week`s close you could become so enmeshed in certain arrangements you`ll have difficulty extricating yourself, especially when you want to respond to the remarkable ideas, offers and insights triggered by the Aquarius New Moon on 8 February.
Outline: Take care of details at home or at work as early as possible this week, but make sure that you check them with others first. It`s entirely likely that you will be working at cross-purposes if you don`t communicate clearly. Good times are coming in the middle of the week. You`ll experience something entirely new to you that might involve a small change of lifestyle. Take time for yourself to sort through your feelings over the weekend, in private if possible. Big ideas will be tossed around all day Sunday; stick with the few you like best and run with them.
Harsh words from an official will make you firstly frustrated and then very angry. Resist the temptation to lash out at their criticisms. Instead, take deep breaths and keep calm. The diplomatic, unflustered way you handle this particular situation will earn you admirers. Don`t be surprised if you are offered an interesting position at an impressive company. Not only will you enjoy this role, but you`ll reap the benefits of a handsome retirement package. Go for it.
The New Moon in your sign is on February 8. In the days leading up to this, you won`t be the only sign of the zodiac embarked on a clearing up operation. It may be that you are now regarded as a key member of a team. Your approach and grand vision could be much appreciated. Yet this is likely to bring with it extra responsibilities. It wouldn`t be so surprising if you were asked to accept some kind of job title. This may be something you want to think about carefully. If it could be made temporary - perhaps lasting no more than two years, - maybe you would be happy to accept. The very end of this week, as Venus moves to conjunction with Pluto, the potential for reviving an old working partnership increases. This might not be something you had on your original agenda for 2016. At some level you might even feel stopped in your tracks by the possibility. It may be that you need to ask for time to consider this given the breakdown of trust that existed in the past.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Pisces (Water sign): February 19 -- March 20
Personal theme: I believe!!
Epigram: The most challenging element of this week is accepting that certain situations you thought were in perfect order aren`t. Rather, things are in chaos. Actually, this is good timing, simply because the foundation on which some of these plans are based is shifting. Knowing that, seek a quick fix. This gives you time to reconsider your long term priorities and rethink your game plan.
Outline: Don`t worry too much about whether you`re doing the right thing on Monday. Jump into action and you`ll soon see how much help you`re providing. Clean house, literally or figuratively, in the middle of the week. It doesn`t have to be 100% thorough, but your space should be ready for new action soon. Be wary of signing any documents on Friday or Saturday; you`ll be feeling a little less able to say no, even to deals you`re not sure about. Work problems might arise on Sunday, but you`ll know how to handle them if they do.
An unstable financial situation is affecting your social life. You aren`t able to go to some of your usual haunts or take too many holidays with friends. Instead of pretending all is well, be honest about your money problems. Your loved ones will be happy to adjust their plans to accommodate you. Getting expert training will be a great way to increase your income. Work with an expert that can ease you into a new line of work. You won`t regret this decision.
The period between Monday`s Last Quarter Moon (in another of the Water signs) and next Monday`s New Moon, offers a stabilising period for many signs. In your case, assessing knowledge, experience and qualifications may be the first step in identifying what needs to be changed on your c.v. Soon, self-marketing could become priority. Midweek it might be suggested that this has been an issue for some time. It might also be thought that you`ve lost confidence. Proving others wrong before your birthday could be your next big challenge. Help may be on the horizon however. Someone whom you see rarely but who visits or makes contact around this time of year and who brings tales of adventure could bring inspiration. Their promise to maintain better contact and help you through the next few months may be just what`s needed to truly kick-start 2016 - even if that`s a little late.
