Aries (Fire sign): March 21 -- April 19
Personal theme: I am!!
Epigram: One of your strengths is your decisiveness and, even more, your capacity to stick to a goal until it`s been achieved. However, your ruler Mars`s move into the most strategic part of your chart triggers a six-week cycle during which you`re forced to go with the flow. If, initially, this seems weak, you`ll soon realise just how valuable the insights and lessons coming your way are.
Outline: The great thing about Monday and Tuesday is that you will get a lot done. The not great thing is that you`ll want to snack every step of the way. Watch that. At a certain point, snacks only weigh you down. Wednesday and Thursday, you really don`t need to watch anything -- your natural impulse will be toward healthy competition, and everyone else will be on the same page -- and Friday offers the added bonus of action on the romantic front. You`re on fire this week. ComeSaturday, you`ll feel a bit burned out. Let the weekend be restful and restorative.
Working behind the scenes can boost your productivity. It will be a relief to escape the attentions of a micromanager. When you`re left to your own devices, you often put an innovative spin on work. This saves time, money and lots of energy. It also makes you feel pretty good about yourself. You won`t go far wrong if you follow a friend`s book, movie or music recommendations when it comes to buying Christmas gifts; especially if you`re stuck for ideas.
There`s high probability of ending this week on a super-high note and quite probably because someone from another country is surprisingly supportive of your plans. That said, and not to look for problems, it may be that you`re all too well aware that you need to improve your expertise. Note that Mercury turns retrogradeon Monday and at the very apex of your solar chart. This does suggest a review of recent meetings and discussions. It may be that what`s taken place has been too rushed and now requires careful analysis. It might also be that a language issue or barrier has been encountered and that lines of communication need to be improved - and before the end of January if a plan is to be a successful as everyone hopes. Note that your ruling planet Mars enters Pisces on Monday. For the next few weeks paying some attention to your CV and general online image would be wise. Indeed, particularly over Thursday and Friday, giving attention to the way in which others find you and are made away of your skills and talents might even lead to a significant offer or at least an interesting suggestion being made.

Taurus (Earth sign): April 20 -- May 20
Personal theme: I have!!
Epigram: It may seem that, recently, you`ve been pushed around by an unfair destiny. Peculiar as many proposed changes in various elements of your life have seemed, few will become reality. Rather, each has been about broadening your horizons so that, when you actually do need to commit to those changes, instead of grumbling about the unfamiliar, you`ll recognise its potential and say an enthusiastic yes.
Outline: You`re feeling secure on Monday and Tuesday, secure enough to let down your guard and characterize your feelings to someone else. They will be curious and ask great questions. Unfortunately, Wednesday through Friday offer less in the way of good responses from others. A power struggle is in the stars, as is a tendency toward righteousness, and there`s a chance that, reacting to all this, you may come across as pompous. Thankfully, come the weekend, all of that will have sorted itself out and you`ll be left with two days of music, affection, and fun.
Being part of a team increases your confidence. You enjoy working with creative types with a "Try It!" attitude towards work. In the past, you might have been sidelined for experimenting with different ways of doing things. That will change when you deal with more imaginative people. An unexpected boost to your income will improve your financial situation. Work out how you can use 2017 to focus on acquiring more professional or creative skills.
Mercury turns retrograde in another of the Earth signs on Monday. That same day Mars moves into the sign of Pisces. The two events together suggest a very definite change of mood. In your case, connections with those who live and work some distance away and who have recently returned from a training scheme might require that you attend meetings and even social events that are not as per usual for this time of year. These may not be the easiest of encounters. What may be clear to you is that even more work is headed in your direction. Though flattered to be at the centre of things, it might be wise to ask for time to consider carefully proposals. What`s likely been apparent for some time, is that although the quality of a product or service hasn`t been compromised, the team that put this together does require some rejuvenation. It may be that you are asked to take on the role of tutor or guide. A further, and very interesting suggestion could be that you join in group or association and take on a high-profile role within it. This too, is probably something you need to give careful thought to before you accept.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Gemini (Air sign): May 21 -- June 20
Personal theme: I think!!
Epigram: Between the recent Gemini Full Moon, which shook things up emotionally, and your ruler Mercury retrograde from the 19th, life is by no means dull. Although shakeups are unavoidable, they`re encouraging you to say farewell to habits, arrangements or even goals that are holding you back, although it may not seem so. Let them go and suddenly an exciting range of new options will appear.
Outline: You`re just being practical. You`re thinking about your future. Someone around you might accuse you of being stingy on Monday or Tuesday, but perhaps they`re just moody because they`re not getting what they want. They`re not being showered with cash. Wednesday, thankfully, your social interactions turn on how interesting your conversations are, not how much money is flying out of your pocket, and Thursday and Friday bring you further enjoyment on the intellectual front. A light debate? A reading at the library? Something like that would be good. The weekend is a blur of errands and details.
It may be Christmas but the workplace can still be very competitive. If you`re going to get ahead, you might have to double your efforts and spend long hours at the office. Some knowledge you acquired long ago may come in handy. Use this information and you`ll make a good impression. You should have to use some cash constraint when it comes to festive spending. This is a time for a modicum of self-control when you need to save cash rather than spend it.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, turns retrograde on Monday and just as Mars arrives in another of the mutable signs and at the apex of your solar chart. Tricky as it may be for someone used to thinking on their feet, it might be wise at this junction to give careful consideration as to whether or not you`ve pushed someone into a role that they are ill-equipped to cope with. A degree of hand-holding and delivering constant encouragement will surely be necessary from this week and all what the way through to at least January 20th. A further, and striking possibility is that the balance sheet of how much energy you put into something requires review. It may well be that you now need to release grip in one area in order to focus better on something which would make better use of your full creative attention. Indeed, ideas presented toward the end of this week could have considerable impact. True, it`s not always good news, and for a few Geminis, the long arm of the law might need to be dealt with and quick action taken to avert a difficulty becoming a major problem.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Cancer (Water sign): June 21 -- July 22
Personal theme: I feel!!
Epigram: Final as the decisions you`re making seem, they`re actually part of a pattern of exploration in several areas of your life. Say yes, knowing that within days, you`ll have learnt a lot and, better yet, be able to rethink things. By the week`s close, you`ll have exchanged any anxiety for eager anticipation of what`s next; and final decisions? Things come together at mid-January`s Cancer Full Moon.
Outline: The beginning of the week is also the beginning of the rest of your life -- it really feels that way. There is a spotlight on you. What you do next is crucial. Be assertive. Tuesday you are humming with energy, and Wednesday and Thursday are extravagant larger-than-life days. You may also make an extravagant purchase -- no garage sales for you! On Friday, you`re so excited about your new acquisition that you may tip into a showing-off territory, which isn`t becoming; but Saturday and Sunday return you to a more regular level of modesty. Again, all your thoughts are focused on the future.
A former romantic partner could try to reconnect with you. Take things slowly and think carefully about what you may be getting into. You might decide it`s better to start fresh with someone you`ve never dated before. History can inhibit passion. Listen to your heart; it`s your best guide. Defending the underdog could spell trouble, but you can`t tolerate injustice. After you speak up, others will support you. It often takes one courageous person to start a movement.
Mercury turns retrograde in your opposite sign just as Mars arrives in another of the Water signs. It won`t be at all surprising if you`re stopped in your tracks by someone who clearly feels emotionally wounded or perhaps simply not up to a task. You`re right, they could have chosen a better time of year to have this crisis. Nevertheless, the fact that you are now so pivotal to putting them back on track is interesting and suggests something about the way in which your career is likely to flow in 2017. Fact is that you probably are very well placed to assist. Though it might take you a few days to find the magic words, before the weekend what you have to say could have extraordinary impact. It`s likely too that there will be something major to celebrate on Friday. True, this could be linked to general festivities. However, it`s not every year that the Sun and Jupiter make such strong aspect on these dates and from an area of your solar chart that suggests enrichment, empowerment and warmth so it could indicate something more and personal.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Leo (Fire sign): July 23 -- August 22
Personal theme: I will!!
Epigram: Being a fire sign, you think and move swiftly. Now, however, you`re urged to take your time, even in seemingly straightforward practical matters. Between Mercury retrograde, from Monday, and late December`s thrilling if unsettling planetary activity, even the simplest of plans will change, possibly often. Knowing that, take a chance. Ideas or arrangements that, only recently, seemed well beyond your reach could soon become reality.
Outline: Your incredible sensitivity on Monday and Tuesday is going to lead to beautiful things. It connects you deeply to your intuition. It makes you modest; and it inspires an honest desire to maintain good will. By Wednesday, friends will be discussing plans for a statue in your honour; and that isn`t even the pinnacle of your week. Thursday and Friday are magnificent. You are supremely loved. On Saturday a turn inward is in the stars -- you may be more introverted than you`d expect. Sunday, also, is a day of small personal tasks. No mountain climbing for you!
It`s important to protect your financial interests especially at this expensive time of year. Go over credit card and bank statements with a fine toothed comb. If you see any discrepancies, notify the authorities. It`s important to be proactive about identity theft and watch your back at all times. It may be best to have separate accounts if you`re involved with someone who is irresponsible about money You work too hard to see all your savings go down the drain.
Mars changes signs just as Mercury begins another retrograde period. This represents a significant change of energy affecting all signs. In your case, you could be faced with an integrity crisis. At one level, this could be all about how much you`re happy to spend or to invest. At a very different level, it may be that you`re not wholly convinced that a proposed marketing plan has been thought through. Tempers could be frayed as a result. A major difficulty may be that someone`s qualifications. Though superb, might not work well at a practical level. Making this clear and perhaps, getting this person to work with someone with considerable long-term expertise could prove something of a challenge. On top of this, the opportunity to expand your network could be such that you make a key connection with someone (most likely born under Pisces) whose trust in your abilities is such that you really want to work more closely with them in 2017.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Virgo (Earth sign): August 23 -- September 22
Personal theme: I analyze!!
Epigram: As a sensible Virgo, you know change isn`t just necessary; it`s an essential way of breaking up routine. Yet you`ve been battling to keep certain arrangements as they are. While your ruler Mercury`s retrograde cycle, which begins on the 19th, triggers confusion it will also highlight where changes are needed. Move swiftly and, better yet, you`ll be able to take advantage of late December`s stunning planetary activity.
Outline: What you should be orchestrating on Monday and Tuesday is an excuse for a bunch of people to come together -- maybe a thing for friends, maybe a family thing, maybe a friends and family combo. You get your motivation these days from other people, and motivation is what you`ll need to get through your hectic days on Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday, your focus is on helping a certain underdog.Saturday is a great day -- marked by achievement and clarity -- and Sunday you finally start to feel organized. You`re at your happiest when you`re organized.
If you have a crush on someone, this may be the time to make your move. You`ll have to be assertive. The object of your affection may be too shy to make the first move so keep your mistletoe handy. If you already have a partner you could enter a passionate phase of your relationship. Preparing for Christmas and generally pottering around the house will make you feel grounded. Fill the pantry, make some festive treats and send out your cards.
On Monday, your ruling planet Mercury appears to stand still in the sky before appearing retrograde for the next few weeks. Simultaneously, Mars arrives in your opposite sign. This represents a significant change of gear. At some level, you may feel stopped in your tracks. Recall that yours is one of the more sensitive signs of the zodiac, and that environmental issues are extremely important. It may be that the chaos of this particular time of year results in you being more anxious than usual. It`s perhaps imperative over these next few days that you are given sufficient time to process information. You might also need to accept that a degree of muddle and inefficiency is inevitable and must be accepted. The good news is that by the end of the week you could have something to celebrate. True, it may take until the end of January before you feel back in control. This period though should prove most useful - particularly in determining what is and what is not important and which working partnerships should be given maximum attention in 2017.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Libra (Air sign): September 23 -- October 22
Personal theme: I balance!!
Epigram: The trick to dealing with this week`s events and, in fact, the many twists and turns until the end of the year is to forget about planning ahead. Instead, discuss and deal with only what you can do each day. That achieved, shift your focus to what and who you enjoy. That prepares you for the next day`s decisions and, even more, the unexpected twists they bring.
Outline: Sure, many things may not be going your way, but check out all the flowering trees along the street, or the sounds of the wind, or the smile on a kid at the top of a slide. The small things. Even when everything else is difficult and crazy, there are ways to enjoy yourself. Wednesday and Thursday, most of your enjoyment comes from seeing other people, and on Friday, from being creative. On Saturday, be in listening mode, but if you hear a nagging voice in your own head, ignore it and get outside. Saturday evening, socialize. Sunday, sleep.
Becoming more active in 2017 can make you more productive at work. When you move your body, your creative juices flow more freely. Suddenly, it becomes easier to solve problems and deal with stressful situations. If you`re thinking of moving, explore an area where you lived before. Your thoughts might be circling around making a series of changes. Ironically the best way forward may be to take a step back and revisit jobs, relationships and places in your past.
Mercury turns retrograde at the very base of your solar chart as of Monday. That same day Mars changes signs. This represents a decided change of pace for all signs. In your case, it`s arguably imperative that you take time to reflect and perhaps pace yourself very differently for the next six weeks. It`s entirely possible that you`ve completely overdone it. It might also be that you need time to reflect on all that`s happened during 2016. This isn`t from the point of view of being critical: you`ve no doubt achieved much. It may be though, that you`ve gone overboard in trying to please others. It might now be time to be fractionally more selfish and at least consider what`s good for your physical and mental health. Others would no doubt appreciate you taking this approach. Indeed, with many congratulations coming your way before Friday, accepting these with grace and making clear that you are taking time out to assess and reassess could enhance your profile further.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Scorpio (Water sign): October 23 -- November 21
Personal theme: I desire!!
Epigram: While you`re not exactly thrilled about the changes currently being discussed, you`ve plenty of time to ask questions and reflect on your feelings about letting go of certain longstanding elements of your life. These may be familiar but, as you`re well aware, some are holding you back and others have become predictable, if not dull. Soon you`ll be making those changes, and with unanticipated enthusiasm.
Outline: By virtue of your ability to make things happen, your desires are satisfiedon Monday and Tuesday with very little string-pulling on your part. Everything just opens up the way you want it to. Don`t ruin it by trying to exert control.Wednesday is a typical Wednesday -- middle of the week, work-centric, introverted, bland -- and a run-in with the boss on Thursday brings about the doldrums. Just when you were thinking of asking for a raise! Don`t, obviously. Keep a low profileon Friday as well. After your midweek slump, the weekend returns you to happy footing. Friends are prominent.
E-mails, letters and phone calls might get misplaced or misdirected. If you don`t hear back from someone, follow up with another message. Miscommunications can waste valuable time. Be careful what you post on social media sites. A thoughtless comment could cost you dearly. Usually, you prefer keeping a low profile. You must admit it is pleasing to be recognised for your abilities. Entering a competition or raffle could pay off. You might win a prize or even some cash.
On Monday, Mars arrives at another of the Water signs. Over a two-year period, there are several months when it passes through signs that have some commonality with your own. During these periods it could be argued that your more sensitive side comes to the fore and that it easier for you to operate on instincts and tune into your inner voice. That may be particularly true as of this Monday. That same day Mercury appears to stand still prior to being retrograde for a few weeks. This offers the potential for reflection. Note too, that the Winter solstice is this week and that this too suggests a different kind of cosmic weather. You may find all this particularly useful. The opportunity to reconnect with those you may not have had contact with for a year - and quite independent of activities associated with the festivities of this time of year - could abound. You may find that before Friday your particular wisdom is appreciated and that you have greater influence than you expected. Indeed, within the next few months you could be riding the crest of a wave where your talents and skills are recognised and rewarded.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Sagittarius (Fire sign): November 22 -- December 21
Personal theme: I see!!
Epigram: As much as you enjoy discussing new ideas and potential changes, you`re oddly resistant to making them. However, judging by the powerful planetary activity which involves both your ruler Jupiter and Saturn, which is positioned in Sagittarius, between now and the end of the year, those changes are as exciting as they are inevitable. Knowing that, go with the flow. You won`t regret it.
Outline: Apply yourself toward really getting to know you-know-who on Monday andTuesday. It`s time to get deep. You have a lot of questions and so do they. Philosophy figures in some way. Wednesday and Thursday, you are too distracted by your good luck to think very deeply about anything, although you are utterly grateful. The sun shines down on you on Friday as well -- a perfect day for travel, or for doing something creative, or even for taking a test. All will go well. Saturdayand Sunday, on the other hand, an authority figure makes things difficult.
A home improvement project may go smoother than you expected. Hiring an experienced craftsperson may pay off. Avoid someone who promises to do the job at a cut rate price. You will probably have to do the work all over again. It`s better to get this work done properly the first time. If you`re looking for a job, think about going back to an old employer. You`ll hit the ground running. A steady income will make you feel more confident and make a future decision easier.
Mercury turns retrograde as Mars changes sign. The fact that the two events occur within hours of one another suggests a decided change of mood and pace across the world. With Mars moving into another of the Mutable signs it`s reasonable to anticipate that you will be much affected. A possibility is that you will feel let down and bemused. You might also discover that a financial brake has been applied without your knowledge. Resolving this issue could take a couple of weeks. Yet it`s not all bad or even difficult news. Though true as the Sun leaves your sign mid week, - and having made clear to certain individuals that their behaviour is no longer acceptable, - you could make plans to celebrate a close partner or colleague`s success. In so doing, you make clear that together you`ve come to the end of a phase. You might also agree that before the end of the year, you will agree plans to improve your joint working and home environment in 2017.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Capricorn (Earth sign): December 22 -- January 19
Personal theme: I use!!
Epigram: Letting go of familiar and often reassuring elements of the past isn`t easy when you`re unsure what`s next. Still, between the rare and amazing planetary activity involving the fortunate Jupiter, your ruler Saturn and Uranus, next week, and the breakthroughs triggered by the Capricorn New Moon on the 29th, miracles are possible. All you need is the patience to allow the promised extraordinary events to unfold.
Outline: Wherever Monday and Tuesday find you, you`d rather be someplace else. This is a frustrating feeling, but there is little you can do. Deal with whatever`s in front of you, and you`ll end your days with a sense of accomplishment. Midweek isn`t easy on the work front -- turns out, someone you thought you understood has a whole back-story that changes everything -- and by Friday you feel utterly taxed by everyone else`s demands. Oddly, you feel more relaxed and assured about work once the weekend comes. If you end up going into work on Sunday, you`ll do so happily.
You might be very busy right now, which is the way you like the Christmas countdown. It is good to be in demand. It may be necessary to take a last minute trip to pick up a few goodies and gifts. Be sure to get accurate directions and have a map or Satnav handy in case of detours. Information about an ancestor may change the way you see yourself and your clan. The demands of work and home will be draining. Scale back your schedule and take a break.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign as of Monday and just as Mars moves into Pisces. This represents a change of direction for all signs. You though could be particularly affected. There`s high probability of you being stopped in your tracks and taken unawares: think slipping on a banana skin! News from a sibling or work colleague could take you quite by surprise. It might also anger you. It may be that you had supposed they would accept a particular responsibility where they don`t feel that was the case at all. Resolving this will surely be easier once the Sun enters your sign mid-week. Note too, that on Friday, the Sun makes fabulous aspect to Jupiter presently travelling through another of the Cardinal sign. This suggests cause for celebration quite independent of the festivities taking place at this time. It may be that this celebration is tied to relationships made with those who live some distance away and not at all impossible that a reunion will be at least mooted if not planned.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Aquarius (Air sign): January 20 -- February 18
Personal theme: I know!!
Epigram: You don`t think of yourself as a control freak. Yet as much as you enjoy discussing potential changes, if they involve ideas so new you don`t fully understand them, it`s another matter. While you can`t halt the cycle of change being triggered by alliances involving Jupiter, Saturn and your ruler Uranus, you can adopt an inquisitive approach that allows you to explore without actually committing.
Outline: You are handy. If the clock breaks on Monday or Tuesday, you`ll wind it up and set it back on the wall. You need a functioning clock in order to be at your best, what with all the organizational responsibilities you shoulder this week. Wednesdayand Thursday, a creative solution to an interpersonal problem is far superior to a punitive solution, and on Friday, an experiment with a friend leads to an extraordinary discovery. Your interactions on Saturday and Sunday are more challenged -- take care when dealing with others. Someone`s true agenda may not be obvious.
You might have to spend money to make money. Take this opportunity to invest in some high-tech equipment. Having a good Smartphone or computer can help you on the professional front. It will be easier to do your job if you`re in constant contact with clients and customers. A recurring dream could have an empowering message. Jot down the details as soon as you wake up. A breakthrough is coming. Let a well-connected friend help you move forward.
Mars, the so-called red planet, moves into Pisces on Monday and just as Mercury turns retrograde. In your case, there is the possibility of some gain through a large corporation. It may be that an insurance claim finally comes through or at least recognition that it will do so in a matter of weeks. Bear in mind, that Mercury has a justifiable reputation for delaying communications. Another possibility is that a marketing or advertising plan will need to be reviewed. It may be that costs here have not been as expected and that adjustments need to be made. This could work in your favour. An excellent aspect between the Sun and Jupiter at the end of the week suggests loosening of constraints which for some might mean that a line of credit becomes available. A further twist on this may be that a training course that you thought was not open to you is made available within a matter of weeks. It may be important though for you to declare an interest in this now.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Pisces (Water sign): February 19 -- March 20
Personal theme: I believe!!
Epigram: In the two years since Mars was last in Pisces, you and the world around you have changed. While its move into your sign, on the 19th, brings the urgency and decisiveness the planet`s known for, you`ve plenty of time to review existing arrangements and explore your options. By late January, when it departs, you`ll have made lots of decisions, many as unanticipated as they are thrilling.
Outline: Romance is the dominant theme on Monday and Tuesday. Rather than a typical date -- coffee, food, a movie -- try climbing a tree together, or sitting in the middle of an empty soccer field, or reading aloud to one another. The more creativity you put into this, the more you`ll get out of it. It`s natural that your thoughts midweek (especially Wednesday and Thursday) take a turn toward fantasy, what with how much you like this person; but try to keep your head firmly in reality, especially at work on Friday. This weekend, if you-know-who has a harebrained idea, just say yes. Ask questions later.
People will listen if you choose to share your ideas and ideals. Take this opportunity to talk about a subject dear to your heart. Whether you`re raising awareness for your favourite charity or spreading the word about a new service or product. The important thing is to get the word out. You should plan to get back together with old friends. Someone you knew long ago may have great ideas and some sound advice. Ask them for help with a puzzling problem.
Mars arrives in your sign on Monday. This happens every couple of years and could be viewed as a refuelling moment. It might seem to others that you have more energy than usual. Yet as Mars arrives in Pisces, Mercury turns retrograde. There is high probability of communication wires becoming crossed. It will surely be imperative that you take extra care with the wording of any documents. That even includes Christmas cards. In being prudent about what you say, you could also reassure others that the experiences of the last couple of years have been put to good use. In a sense it may be that you`re positioning yourself to take on a different type of responsibility closer to your birthday next year. For now, the need to show others that despite the increased responsibility since September, you`re still willing to help out as and when necessary may not been done to prove a point but to reassure yourself as well as others, that you`re physically and mentally preparing for new horizons.

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.

Aries (Fire sign): March 21 -- April 19
Personal theme: I am!!
Epigram: One of your strengths is your decisiveness and, even more, your capacity to stick to a goal until it`s been achieved. However, your ruler Mars`s move into the most strategic part of your chart triggers a six-week cycle during which you`re forced to go with the flow. If, initially, this seems weak, you`ll soon realise just how valuable the insights and lessons coming your way are.
Outline: The great thing about Monday and Tuesday is that you will get a lot done. The not great thing is that you`ll want to snack every step of the way. Watch that. At a certain point, snacks only weigh you down. Wednesday and Thursday, you really don`t need to watch anything -- your natural impulse will be toward healthy competition, and everyone else will be on the same page -- and Friday offers the added bonus of action on the romantic front. You`re on fire this week. ComeSaturday, you`ll feel a bit burned out. Let the weekend be restful and restorative.
Working behind the scenes can boost your productivity. It will be a relief to escape the attentions of a micromanager. When you`re left to your own devices, you often put an innovative spin on work. This saves time, money and lots of energy. It also makes you feel pretty good about yourself. You won`t go far wrong if you follow a friend`s book, movie or music recommendations when it comes to buying Christmas gifts; especially if you`re stuck for ideas.
There`s high probability of ending this week on a super-high note and quite probably because someone from another country is surprisingly supportive of your plans. That said, and not to look for problems, it may be that you`re all too well aware that you need to improve your expertise. Note that Mercury turns retrogradeon Monday and at the very apex of your solar chart. This does suggest a review of recent meetings and discussions. It may be that what`s taken place has been too rushed and now requires careful analysis. It might also be that a language issue or barrier has been encountered and that lines of communication need to be improved - and before the end of January if a plan is to be a successful as everyone hopes. Note that your ruling planet Mars enters Pisces on Monday. For the next few weeks paying some attention to your CV and general online image would be wise. Indeed, particularly over Thursday and Friday, giving attention to the way in which others find you and are made away of your skills and talents might even lead to a significant offer or at least an interesting suggestion being made.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Taurus (Earth sign): April 20 -- May 20
Personal theme: I have!!
Epigram: It may seem that, recently, you`ve been pushed around by an unfair destiny. Peculiar as many proposed changes in various elements of your life have seemed, few will become reality. Rather, each has been about broadening your horizons so that, when you actually do need to commit to those changes, instead of grumbling about the unfamiliar, you`ll recognise its potential and say an enthusiastic yes.
Outline: You`re feeling secure on Monday and Tuesday, secure enough to let down your guard and characterize your feelings to someone else. They will be curious and ask great questions. Unfortunately, Wednesday through Friday offer less in the way of good responses from others. A power struggle is in the stars, as is a tendency toward righteousness, and there`s a chance that, reacting to all this, you may come across as pompous. Thankfully, come the weekend, all of that will have sorted itself out and you`ll be left with two days of music, affection, and fun.
Being part of a team increases your confidence. You enjoy working with creative types with a "Try It!" attitude towards work. In the past, you might have been sidelined for experimenting with different ways of doing things. That will change when you deal with more imaginative people. An unexpected boost to your income will improve your financial situation. Work out how you can use 2017 to focus on acquiring more professional or creative skills.
Mercury turns retrograde in another of the Earth signs on Monday. That same day Mars moves into the sign of Pisces. The two events together suggest a very definite change of mood. In your case, connections with those who live and work some distance away and who have recently returned from a training scheme might require that you attend meetings and even social events that are not as per usual for this time of year. These may not be the easiest of encounters. What may be clear to you is that even more work is headed in your direction. Though flattered to be at the centre of things, it might be wise to ask for time to consider carefully proposals. What`s likely been apparent for some time, is that although the quality of a product or service hasn`t been compromised, the team that put this together does require some rejuvenation. It may be that you are asked to take on the role of tutor or guide. A further, and very interesting suggestion could be that you join in group or association and take on a high-profile role within it. This too, is probably something you need to give careful thought to before you accept.

Gemini (Air sign): May 21 -- June 20
Personal theme: I think!!
Epigram: Between the recent Gemini Full Moon, which shook things up emotionally, and your ruler Mercury retrograde from the 19th, life is by no means dull. Although shakeups are unavoidable, they`re encouraging you to say farewell to habits, arrangements or even goals that are holding you back, although it may not seem so. Let them go and suddenly an exciting range of new options will appear.
Outline: You`re just being practical. You`re thinking about your future. Someone around you might accuse you of being stingy on Monday or Tuesday, but perhaps they`re just moody because they`re not getting what they want. They`re not being showered with cash. Wednesday, thankfully, your social interactions turn on how interesting your conversations are, not how much money is flying out of your pocket, and Thursday and Friday bring you further enjoyment on the intellectual front. A light debate? A reading at the library? Something like that would be good. The weekend is a blur of errands and details.
It may be Christmas but the workplace can still be very competitive. If you`re going to get ahead, you might have to double your efforts and spend long hours at the office. Some knowledge you acquired long ago may come in handy. Use this information and you`ll make a good impression. You should have to use some cash constraint when it comes to festive spending. This is a time for a modicum of self-control when you need to save cash rather than spend it.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, turns retrograde on Monday and just as Mars arrives in another of the mutable signs and at the apex of your solar chart. Tricky as it may be for someone used to thinking on their feet, it might be wise at this junction to give careful consideration as to whether or not you`ve pushed someone into a role that they are ill-equipped to cope with. A degree of hand-holding and delivering constant encouragement will surely be necessary from this week and all what the way through to at least January 20th. A further, and striking possibility is that the balance sheet of how much energy you put into something requires review. It may well be that you now need to release grip in one area in order to focus better on something which would make better use of your full creative attention. Indeed, ideas presented toward the end of this week could have considerable impact. True, it`s not always good news, and for a few Geminis, the long arm of the law might need to be dealt with and quick action taken to avert a difficulty becoming a major problem.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Cancer (Water sign): June 21 -- July 22
Personal theme: I feel!!
Epigram: Final as the decisions you`re making seem, they`re actually part of a pattern of exploration in several areas of your life. Say yes, knowing that within days, you`ll have learnt a lot and, better yet, be able to rethink things. By the week`s close, you`ll have exchanged any anxiety for eager anticipation of what`s next; and final decisions? Things come together at mid-January`s Cancer Full Moon.
Outline: The beginning of the week is also the beginning of the rest of your life -- it really feels that way. There is a spotlight on you. What you do next is crucial. Be assertive. Tuesday you are humming with energy, and Wednesday and Thursday are extravagant larger-than-life days. You may also make an extravagant purchase -- no garage sales for you! On Friday, you`re so excited about your new acquisition that you may tip into a showing-off territory, which isn`t becoming; but Saturday and Sunday return you to a more regular level of modesty. Again, all your thoughts are focused on the future.
A former romantic partner could try to reconnect with you. Take things slowly and think carefully about what you may be getting into. You might decide it`s better to start fresh with someone you`ve never dated before. History can inhibit passion. Listen to your heart; it`s your best guide. Defending the underdog could spell trouble, but you can`t tolerate injustice. After you speak up, others will support you. It often takes one courageous person to start a movement.
Mercury turns retrograde in your opposite sign just as Mars arrives in another of the Water signs. It won`t be at all surprising if you`re stopped in your tracks by someone who clearly feels emotionally wounded or perhaps simply not up to a task. You`re right, they could have chosen a better time of year to have this crisis. Nevertheless, the fact that you are now so pivotal to putting them back on track is interesting and suggests something about the way in which your career is likely to flow in 2017. Fact is that you probably are very well placed to assist. Though it might take you a few days to find the magic words, before the weekend what you have to say could have extraordinary impact. It`s likely too that there will be something major to celebrate on Friday. True, this could be linked to general festivities. However, it`s not every year that the Sun and Jupiter make such strong aspect on these dates and from an area of your solar chart that suggests enrichment, empowerment and warmth so it could indicate something more and personal.

Leo (Fire sign): July 23 -- August 22
Personal theme: I will!!
Epigram: Being a fire sign, you think and move swiftly. Now, however, you`re urged to take your time, even in seemingly straightforward practical matters. Between Mercury retrograde, from Monday, and late December`s thrilling if unsettling planetary activity, even the simplest of plans will change, possibly often. Knowing that, take a chance. Ideas or arrangements that, only recently, seemed well beyond your reach could soon become reality.
Outline: Your incredible sensitivity on Monday and Tuesday is going to lead to beautiful things. It connects you deeply to your intuition. It makes you modest; and it inspires an honest desire to maintain good will. By Wednesday, friends will be discussing plans for a statue in your honour; and that isn`t even the pinnacle of your week. Thursday and Friday are magnificent. You are supremely loved. On Saturday a turn inward is in the stars -- you may be more introverted than you`d expect. Sunday, also, is a day of small personal tasks. No mountain climbing for you!
It`s important to protect your financial interests especially at this expensive time of year. Go over credit card and bank statements with a fine toothed comb. If you see any discrepancies, notify the authorities. It`s important to be proactive about identity theft and watch your back at all times. It may be best to have separate accounts if you`re involved with someone who is irresponsible about money You work too hard to see all your savings go down the drain.
Mars changes signs just as Mercury begins another retrograde period. This represents a significant change of energy affecting all signs. In your case, you could be faced with an integrity crisis. At one level, this could be all about how much you`re happy to spend or to invest. At a very different level, it may be that you`re not wholly convinced that a proposed marketing plan has been thought through. Tempers could be frayed as a result. A major difficulty may be that someone`s qualifications. Though superb, might not work well at a practical level. Making this clear and perhaps, getting this person to work with someone with considerable long-term expertise could prove something of a challenge. On top of this, the opportunity to expand your network could be such that you make a key connection with someone (most likely born under Pisces) whose trust in your abilities is such that you really want to work more closely with them in 2017.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Virgo (Earth sign): August 23 -- September 22
Personal theme: I analyze!!
Epigram: As a sensible Virgo, you know change isn`t just necessary; it`s an essential way of breaking up routine. Yet you`ve been battling to keep certain arrangements as they are. While your ruler Mercury`s retrograde cycle, which begins on the 19th, triggers confusion it will also highlight where changes are needed. Move swiftly and, better yet, you`ll be able to take advantage of late December`s stunning planetary activity.
Outline: What you should be orchestrating on Monday and Tuesday is an excuse for a bunch of people to come together -- maybe a thing for friends, maybe a family thing, maybe a friends and family combo. You get your motivation these days from other people, and motivation is what you`ll need to get through your hectic days on Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday, your focus is on helping a certain underdog.Saturday is a great day -- marked by achievement and clarity -- and Sunday you finally start to feel organized. You`re at your happiest when you`re organized.
If you have a crush on someone, this may be the time to make your move. You`ll have to be assertive. The object of your affection may be too shy to make the first move so keep your mistletoe handy. If you already have a partner you could enter a passionate phase of your relationship. Preparing for Christmas and generally pottering around the house will make you feel grounded. Fill the pantry, make some festive treats and send out your cards.
On Monday, your ruling planet Mercury appears to stand still in the sky before appearing retrograde for the next few weeks. Simultaneously, Mars arrives in your opposite sign. This represents a significant change of gear. At some level, you may feel stopped in your tracks. Recall that yours is one of the more sensitive signs of the zodiac, and that environmental issues are extremely important. It may be that the chaos of this particular time of year results in you being more anxious than usual. It`s perhaps imperative over these next few days that you are given sufficient time to process information. You might also need to accept that a degree of muddle and inefficiency is inevitable and must be accepted. The good news is that by the end of the week you could have something to celebrate. True, it may take until the end of January before you feel back in control. This period though should prove most useful - particularly in determining what is and what is not important and which working partnerships should be given maximum attention in 2017.

Libra (Air sign): September 23 -- October 22
Personal theme: I balance!!
Epigram: The trick to dealing with this week`s events and, in fact, the many twists and turns until the end of the year is to forget about planning ahead. Instead, discuss and deal with only what you can do each day. That achieved, shift your focus to what and who you enjoy. That prepares you for the next day`s decisions and, even more, the unexpected twists they bring.
Outline: Sure, many things may not be going your way, but check out all the flowering trees along the street, or the sounds of the wind, or the smile on a kid at the top of a slide. The small things. Even when everything else is difficult and crazy, there are ways to enjoy yourself. Wednesday and Thursday, most of your enjoyment comes from seeing other people, and on Friday, from being creative. On Saturday, be in listening mode, but if you hear a nagging voice in your own head, ignore it and get outside. Saturday evening, socialize. Sunday, sleep.
Becoming more active in 2017 can make you more productive at work. When you move your body, your creative juices flow more freely. Suddenly, it becomes easier to solve problems and deal with stressful situations. If you`re thinking of moving, explore an area where you lived before. Your thoughts might be circling around making a series of changes. Ironically the best way forward may be to take a step back and revisit jobs, relationships and places in your past.
Mercury turns retrograde at the very base of your solar chart as of Monday. That same day Mars changes signs. This represents a decided change of pace for all signs. In your case, it`s arguably imperative that you take time to reflect and perhaps pace yourself very differently for the next six weeks. It`s entirely possible that you`ve completely overdone it. It might also be that you need time to reflect on all that`s happened during 2016. This isn`t from the point of view of being critical: you`ve no doubt achieved much. It may be though, that you`ve gone overboard in trying to please others. It might now be time to be fractionally more selfish and at least consider what`s good for your physical and mental health. Others would no doubt appreciate you taking this approach. Indeed, with many congratulations coming your way before Friday, accepting these with grace and making clear that you are taking time out to assess and reassess could enhance your profile further.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Scorpio (Water sign): October 23 -- November 21
Personal theme: I desire!!
Epigram: While you`re not exactly thrilled about the changes currently being discussed, you`ve plenty of time to ask questions and reflect on your feelings about letting go of certain longstanding elements of your life. These may be familiar but, as you`re well aware, some are holding you back and others have become predictable, if not dull. Soon you`ll be making those changes, and with unanticipated enthusiasm.
Outline: By virtue of your ability to make things happen, your desires are satisfiedon Monday and Tuesday with very little string-pulling on your part. Everything just opens up the way you want it to. Don`t ruin it by trying to exert control.Wednesday is a typical Wednesday -- middle of the week, work-centric, introverted, bland -- and a run-in with the boss on Thursday brings about the doldrums. Just when you were thinking of asking for a raise! Don`t, obviously. Keep a low profileon Friday as well. After your midweek slump, the weekend returns you to happy footing. Friends are prominent.
E-mails, letters and phone calls might get misplaced or misdirected. If you don`t hear back from someone, follow up with another message. Miscommunications can waste valuable time. Be careful what you post on social media sites. A thoughtless comment could cost you dearly. Usually, you prefer keeping a low profile. You must admit it is pleasing to be recognised for your abilities. Entering a competition or raffle could pay off. You might win a prize or even some cash.
On Monday, Mars arrives at another of the Water signs. Over a two-year period, there are several months when it passes through signs that have some commonality with your own. During these periods it could be argued that your more sensitive side comes to the fore and that it easier for you to operate on instincts and tune into your inner voice. That may be particularly true as of this Monday. That same day Mercury appears to stand still prior to being retrograde for a few weeks. This offers the potential for reflection. Note too, that the Winter solstice is this week and that this too suggests a different kind of cosmic weather. You may find all this particularly useful. The opportunity to reconnect with those you may not have had contact with for a year - and quite independent of activities associated with the festivities of this time of year - could abound. You may find that before Friday your particular wisdom is appreciated and that you have greater influence than you expected. Indeed, within the next few months you could be riding the crest of a wave where your talents and skills are recognised and rewarded.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Sagittarius (Fire sign): November 22 -- December 21
Personal theme: I see!!
Epigram: As much as you enjoy discussing new ideas and potential changes, you`re oddly resistant to making them. However, judging by the powerful planetary activity which involves both your ruler Jupiter and Saturn, which is positioned in Sagittarius, between now and the end of the year, those changes are as exciting as they are inevitable. Knowing that, go with the flow. You won`t regret it.
Outline: Apply yourself toward really getting to know you-know-who on Monday andTuesday. It`s time to get deep. You have a lot of questions and so do they. Philosophy figures in some way. Wednesday and Thursday, you are too distracted by your good luck to think very deeply about anything, although you are utterly grateful. The sun shines down on you on Friday as well -- a perfect day for travel, or for doing something creative, or even for taking a test. All will go well. Saturdayand Sunday, on the other hand, an authority figure makes things difficult.
A home improvement project may go smoother than you expected. Hiring an experienced craftsperson may pay off. Avoid someone who promises to do the job at a cut rate price. You will probably have to do the work all over again. It`s better to get this work done properly the first time. If you`re looking for a job, think about going back to an old employer. You`ll hit the ground running. A steady income will make you feel more confident and make a future decision easier.
Mercury turns retrograde as Mars changes sign. The fact that the two events occur within hours of one another suggests a decided change of mood and pace across the world. With Mars moving into another of the Mutable signs it`s reasonable to anticipate that you will be much affected. A possibility is that you will feel let down and bemused. You might also discover that a financial brake has been applied without your knowledge. Resolving this issue could take a couple of weeks. Yet it`s not all bad or even difficult news. Though true as the Sun leaves your sign mid week, - and having made clear to certain individuals that their behaviour is no longer acceptable, - you could make plans to celebrate a close partner or colleague`s success. In so doing, you make clear that together you`ve come to the end of a phase. You might also agree that before the end of the year, you will agree plans to improve your joint working and home environment in 2017.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Capricorn (Earth sign): December 22 -- January 19
Personal theme: I use!!
Epigram: Letting go of familiar and often reassuring elements of the past isn`t easy when you`re unsure what`s next. Still, between the rare and amazing planetary activity involving the fortunate Jupiter, your ruler Saturn and Uranus, next week, and the breakthroughs triggered by the Capricorn New Moon on the 29th, miracles are possible. All you need is the patience to allow the promised extraordinary events to unfold.
Outline: Wherever Monday and Tuesday find you, you`d rather be someplace else. This is a frustrating feeling, but there is little you can do. Deal with whatever`s in front of you, and you`ll end your days with a sense of accomplishment. Midweek isn`t easy on the work front -- turns out, someone you thought you understood has a whole back-story that changes everything -- and by Friday you feel utterly taxed by everyone else`s demands. Oddly, you feel more relaxed and assured about work once the weekend comes. If you end up going into work on Sunday, you`ll do so happily.
You might be very busy right now, which is the way you like the Christmas countdown. It is good to be in demand. It may be necessary to take a last minute trip to pick up a few goodies and gifts. Be sure to get accurate directions and have a map or Satnav handy in case of detours. Information about an ancestor may change the way you see yourself and your clan. The demands of work and home will be draining. Scale back your schedule and take a break.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign as of Monday and just as Mars moves into Pisces. This represents a change of direction for all signs. You though could be particularly affected. There`s high probability of you being stopped in your tracks and taken unawares: think slipping on a banana skin! News from a sibling or work colleague could take you quite by surprise. It might also anger you. It may be that you had supposed they would accept a particular responsibility where they don`t feel that was the case at all. Resolving this will surely be easier once the Sun enters your sign mid-week. Note too, that on Friday, the Sun makes fabulous aspect to Jupiter presently travelling through another of the Cardinal sign. This suggests cause for celebration quite independent of the festivities taking place at this time. It may be that this celebration is tied to relationships made with those who live some distance away and not at all impossible that a reunion will be at least mooted if not planned.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Aquarius (Air sign): January 20 -- February 18
Personal theme: I know!!
Epigram: You don`t think of yourself as a control freak. Yet as much as you enjoy discussing potential changes, if they involve ideas so new you don`t fully understand them, it`s another matter. While you can`t halt the cycle of change being triggered by alliances involving Jupiter, Saturn and your ruler Uranus, you can adopt an inquisitive approach that allows you to explore without actually committing.
Outline: You are handy. If the clock breaks on Monday or Tuesday, you`ll wind it up and set it back on the wall. You need a functioning clock in order to be at your best, what with all the organizational responsibilities you shoulder this week. Wednesdayand Thursday, a creative solution to an interpersonal problem is far superior to a punitive solution, and on Friday, an experiment with a friend leads to an extraordinary discovery. Your interactions on Saturday and Sunday are more challenged -- take care when dealing with others. Someone`s true agenda may not be obvious.
You might have to spend money to make money. Take this opportunity to invest in some high-tech equipment. Having a good Smartphone or computer can help you on the professional front. It will be easier to do your job if you`re in constant contact with clients and customers. A recurring dream could have an empowering message. Jot down the details as soon as you wake up. A breakthrough is coming. Let a well-connected friend help you move forward.
Mars, the so-called red planet, moves into Pisces on Monday and just as Mercury turns retrograde. In your case, there is the possibility of some gain through a large corporation. It may be that an insurance claim finally comes through or at least recognition that it will do so in a matter of weeks. Bear in mind, that Mercury has a justifiable reputation for delaying communications. Another possibility is that a marketing or advertising plan will need to be reviewed. It may be that costs here have not been as expected and that adjustments need to be made. This could work in your favour. An excellent aspect between the Sun and Jupiter at the end of the week suggests loosening of constraints which for some might mean that a line of credit becomes available. A further twist on this may be that a training course that you thought was not open to you is made available within a matter of weeks. It may be important though for you to declare an interest in this now.
------------ ----------- ---------- --------- -------- ------- ------ ----- ---- --- -- -
Pisces (Water sign): February 19 -- March 20
Personal theme: I believe!!
Epigram: In the two years since Mars was last in Pisces, you and the world around you have changed. While its move into your sign, on the 19th, brings the urgency and decisiveness the planet`s known for, you`ve plenty of time to review existing arrangements and explore your options. By late January, when it departs, you`ll have made lots of decisions, many as unanticipated as they are thrilling.
Outline: Romance is the dominant theme on Monday and Tuesday. Rather than a typical date -- coffee, food, a movie -- try climbing a tree together, or sitting in the middle of an empty soccer field, or reading aloud to one another. The more creativity you put into this, the more you`ll get out of it. It`s natural that your thoughts midweek (especially Wednesday and Thursday) take a turn toward fantasy, what with how much you like this person; but try to keep your head firmly in reality, especially at work on Friday. This weekend, if you-know-who has a harebrained idea, just say yes. Ask questions later.
People will listen if you choose to share your ideas and ideals. Take this opportunity to talk about a subject dear to your heart. Whether you`re raising awareness for your favourite charity or spreading the word about a new service or product. The important thing is to get the word out. You should plan to get back together with old friends. Someone you knew long ago may have great ideas and some sound advice. Ask them for help with a puzzling problem.
Mars arrives in your sign on Monday. This happens every couple of years and could be viewed as a refuelling moment. It might seem to others that you have more energy than usual. Yet as Mars arrives in Pisces, Mercury turns retrograde. There is high probability of communication wires becoming crossed. It will surely be imperative that you take extra care with the wording of any documents. That even includes Christmas cards. In being prudent about what you say, you could also reassure others that the experiences of the last couple of years have been put to good use. In a sense it may be that you`re positioning yourself to take on a different type of responsibility closer to your birthday next year. For now, the need to show others that despite the increased responsibility since September, you`re still willing to help out as and when necessary may not been done to prove a point but to reassure yourself as well as others, that you`re physically and mentally preparing for new horizons.
