What’s in store for 2015…

December 31st, 2014 Comments off

Happy New Year!

OOOOOO

Get ready for a jazzy year ahead my friends, Saturn has just moved from brooding and introspective Scorpio to adventurous and playful Sagittarius. (This bodes well for making us feel more optimistic about the world we’re each creating.) Read your extended forecast below to find out what 2015 has in store for you…

OOOOOOO
OOOOOOO

Aries (March 21-April 19)

 

Overall
You can be assertive, direct, and straightforward Aries. You like to have a clear mission and don’t enjoy taking the back seat to anyone. You’ve made some pivotal changes recently and you have a much better understanding of yourself and your personal power. You’re ready to take a bite out of life! Important career breakthroughs are approximately three years away. Give some thought to the seeds you’re planting now to make sure they’re in line with your value system and where you want to take things.
 
WHite block
Work and efforts
This is an excellent time to return to school for any education or training that will help you in your career path. Any licenses or certificates you can acquire now that will bump you up to the next pay grade is well worth it! (Your creative nature can flourish with some healthy parameters now.) In three years from now your status has changed for the better and others are looking to you to be the expert. Now is the time to get prepared.
OOOOOOO
Relationships
This is a very romantic year ahead for you, Aries. Relationships of all kinds will improve tremendously! You’re ready to express yourself more than ever. You’re feeling both emotionally safe and courageous making you willing to be vulnerable with your lover or partner. Single Aries can easily attract potential lovers — you just gotta git yourself to the ball, kiddo! Romantic flirtations and playful attractions keep you excited and energized. Meeting someone from a background that is different than your own is possible now too.
OOOOOOO
Home life
You recently adjusted your inner belief systems, Aries. You now have more respect for yourself, and more respect for others. This attitude shift allows relationships of all kinds (including family dynamics) to become more positive. It’s possible your family might grow or expand through birth, marriage, adoption, or simply feeling more connected to your community. Time spent with children is fun and meaningful. This is an excellent year for a family vacation or to travel to visit family members.Lucky Days for 2015

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

 

OOOOOOO
Overall
You’ve got your feet firmly planted on the ground, Taurus. You are dependable, cautious, determined and hard working. A lover of the good life you enjoy good food, comfortable surroundings, and sensual pleasures. (Aphrodite is your ruler after all.) Moving into 2015 it might be wise to tighten your belt a little bit Taurus. The wealth or resources of others that you are accustomed to enjoying (such as family or your partner) might be more limited now. The universe is testing your value system and how it aligns with others.
OOOOOOO
Work and efforts
Being independent and self-sufficient will serve you well this year, Taurus. You are one of the hardest working signs in the zodiac, so you’re likely to rise to this challenge. Matters to do with the business side of partnerships and marriages, as well as issues around taxes, inheritance, and investments might be in the balance. Keep a close eye on your bank accounts and areas where your income or resources are intertwined with others. If you are in debt this is an excellent time to re-strategize or establish a healthy budget.
OOOOOOO
Relationships
Committed relationships can become more solidified this year, Taurus. If there are any elephants in the room (hiding under the rug) you will be dealing with them. Cutting through the confusion and getting through to the heart of the matter will be a theme this year. This process will make your relationships healthy and strong. New relationships that begin now are likely to be intense, passionate, and emotionally revealing. You will learn more about yourself than you have for a while!
OOOOOOO
Home life
This is a wonderful time to imagine or design what your ideal home will be like (if you’re not already living in it). You might be surprised by how resourceful you can be in achieving your goals this year. It’s better to know what to shoot for, than what not too. (When we think about the negative we tend to attract that, so better to think about the positive and attract that, right?) Creating a secure and inviting home environment will meaningful, not to mention enjoyable.

     Gemini (May 21-June 20)

 

OOOOOOO
Overall
Ever curious and constantly in motion, you rarely miss a trick, Gemini. You’re easily adaptable, capable of managing multiple deadlines and require constant mental stimulation. 2015 will be a debut of sorts for you, Gemini. You’ve spent the last few years getting organized, and you’ve made considerable progress building your skill sets and perfecting your craft. Your proverbial toolbox is well packed, up-to-date, and ready for action. The world at large may make more demands of you, but it ain’t nothin’ you can’t handle!
OOOOOOO
Work and efforts
Is likely that you will get more attention for all the hard work you’ve been doing Gemini. You might get a promotion this year or at the very least some recognition. Self-employed Gemini’s can expect to broaden their sphere of influence, translating into more clients. Coworkers, colleagues, and bosses might make greater demands on you. This is because you’ve proven your capability. (If there was ever a time to raise your rates, this is the year to do it!)
OOOOOOO
Relationships
Relationships will be tested at this time, Gemini. Over the last few years you’ve come to realize just how much you actually bring to the table. As a result, your inner confidence has increased (awesome!). Your star is rising and if others are not respecting you (or your contributions) you might let that connection go. However, if your partner (business or marital) is willing to adapt to the new you then the relationship will be considerably strengthened. New relationships that begin this year are likely to be serious.
OOOOOOO
Home life
You’ve changed your perspective about a lot of things recently, Gemini. You’re more in tune with your deeper needs and the ways in which you express yourself. Relationships with family members continue to improve this year and you can expect a lot of celebrations this summer! In the meantime, your communication skills and your ability to listen (to truly listen) to others will improve dramatically. This translates into a higher quality in family relationships, and a nicer atmosphere at home. Lovely!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

OOOOOOO

Overall
You are nurturing, loving, dependable, and self-sacrificing, Cancer. Ruled by the Moon you can be sensitive and moody at times. (But hey, I’m not going to hold that against you!) You are tenacious and hard-working and deeply concerned about security. (You probably have more than a few stashes tucked away for a rainy day — you saver you!) This is a powerful year ahead for you Cancer, you’re going to be more productive than you have been for a while and you’re going to see some sweet payoffs!

OOOOOOO
Work and efforts
It’s time to push up your sleeves my friend, because you’ve got some work to do, and you’re gonna make a lot of headway! You’re preparing for a career harvest that will occur in approximately two and half years from now. At that point you will be getting more recognition and it’s likely your status will change. In the meantime you’re going to be focused on your craft or service with intensity and commitment. (Colleagues and superiors of course will notice this.) Don’t forget to come up for air and enjoy yourself!
OOOOOOO
Relationships
While you will be focused on your work and your career this year Cancer, it’s still important to give your relationship the proper attention it needs. Opportunities to travel with your partner for a weekend getaway, or a few nice dinners out, might be exactly what you need. Single Cancerians might develop a crush on a coworker or meet someone at a work-related event. Connecting with someone who shares like-minded interests or even better, can ‘shop talk’ with you will be a turn on.
OOOOOOO
Home life
This is a poignant year for actualizing what it is that you truly value. Since security, both emotional and material security, are important to you Cancer, that is likely what you will manifest. Many Cancers will buy home this year, invest in real estate, or reinvest in their current home. You’re looking at your overall goals honestly and considering what you need to do to achieve those. We know this is a hard-working year for you, so you will bring about the change you want.

  Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

 

OOOOOOO
Overall
Ruled by the Sun, your personality is radiant, exuberant, and passionate, Leo. You are born to lead; you’re courageous, big-hearted and quick to forgive! A number of adjustments occurred within your home and family in the last few years. You’ve been busy creating more stability for yourself and those you love. Coming up, you’ll be giving a lot of thought to redefining yourself. This might manifest in your career or line of work, or in areas of creative expression, or perhaps in your relationships with family and friends.
OOOOOOO
Work and efforts
You’re going to be taking yourself more seriously 2015, Leo. You’re going to make some practical changes that will support you in the long run. You can produce a tremendous amount this year — it’s a time for making dreams become reality. Entrepreneurs, artists, and self-employed Leo’s will benefit from structured routines and defined milestones. You might have to get tough with employees, but it’s all in an effort to keep everyone on task. Fortunately, with Jupiter in your sign this is an excellent time to call in some favors!
OOOOOOO
Relationships
Romantic relationships are sweet, sexy, and serious this year Leo! Marriage proposals, commitment ceremonies, and the old-fashioned biological bond of creating a child together are in the works for many of you. Currently married Leo’s are solidifying their commitments and jointly working through responsibilities — in particular any concerns to do with children. Single Leo’s are likely to meet someone exciting who expands their horizons and pushes them to see the world through a new lens. Vacations, adventures, and playful outings with your sweetheart are in store!
OOOOOOO
Home life
You’ve put a lot of effort into creating a solid and secure a home base for yourself recently, Leo. This is the time to enjoy the finishing touches. Big-ticket purchases for the home are likely this year. (Are you really going to buy that wine-dispensing fridge?) Investments in art pieces or object of beauty will be tempting. Recreational vacations and playful outings with family members, especially children, are greatly favored this year. You will be making a lot of wonderful memories!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Overall
You are practical, hardworking, and realistic, Virgo. You’re also curious and always ready to improve yourself. Solving puzzles and fixing situations are your forte. You’ve been very busy these last few years, Virgo. Your community at large has gone through massive adjustments – many of you have changed residences or changed your job, thus pushing you into a whole new milieu. Education has been a major theme, formal or informal. 2015 is a time for you to stake your claim and lay down your roots.

Work and efforts
You hit the ground running in 2015, Virgo. You can clearly see what it is you want to accomplish and you’re out of the gate ready to set things in motion! You’re likely to be more assertive this year (and possibly even a little bit bossy). You’re in a ‘take charge’ frame of mind. Listen to your instincts when it comes to planning projects, milestones, or events. You’ll know if you’re biting off more than you can chew or if you’re ready to eat someone for breakfast!

Relationships
Key relationships may undergo some challenges in early 2015, especially if there are some issues that have been swept under the rug. You might feel more sensitive, or conversely you might find yourself easily irritated or anxious. Getting some alone time to get real with yourself will be invaluable. Communications with partners become stronger this year making you feel more grounded and nurtured. Relationships that develop this year might be with someone from another culture or a background that is very different from your own.

Home life
Changes to your residence, or changes to your family dynamics are highly possible this year, Virgo. You want to feel more secure on the home front and you’re ready to do the hard work required. You’re planting the seeds for your long-term future now and stability is paramount. Situations or relationships with others that don’t support your feeling of security will inevitably be adjusted for the better. Home improvements or renovations are possible. As the year progresses, opportunities for adventure and play with family and children will a delight!

  Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Overall
You are diplomatic and charming with a great appreciation for art and beauty, Libra. You crave balance and harmony in the world around you. Relations and social connections are your area of expertise. Throughout 2015 your sphere of influence expands considerably and also goes through a few changes. If you have to sell, write, teach or market anything, this is the year to do it. You are also keen to expand your knowledge base in some way, possibly through training, and education, or travel.

Work and efforts
Travel for work or relocating for your career or employment is possible this year, Libra. Associates, colleagues, and friends are supportive and instrumental as you tackle career challenges and climb that success ladder. If you need to call in any favors or get your foot in the door, this is the time to take the initiative. The social butterfly in you is coming out. Accept all invitations that come your way, you’re about to be the belle of the ball!

Relationships
While relationships might undergo some adjustments this year, it’s all for the better, Libra. Personal connections can greatly blossom now. In fact, this is an excellent time to play, or to travel with a partner or lover. Share your dreams and aspirations with your sweetheart and you might be surprised at the love and support that comes back. Single Librans are likely to meet someone where there’s a strong intellectual connection, you feel like laughing and staying up late into the night talking!

Home life
You’re going to go to great lengths to improve your home environment in some way this year, Libra. You want your home and your neighborhood to be in balance with your needs. (If your current home or neighborhood isn’t meeting your needs, then you may well change it this year.) You’re going to be doing a lot of socializing, probably in the form of hosting – so you might be spending a bit on home improvements, furniture, or art pieces. Have a little fun with that!

   Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

 

Overall
You are an intense and mysterious sign, Scorpio. You are drawn to extremes; there is nothing wishy-washy about you. Saturn has been conjunct your Sun since 2012 (the last time this happened was 29 years ago). You may have felt more strain or pressure as you’ve managed the responsibilities of life. You have created a new foundation for yourself and you will feel stronger because it. Solid new beginnings have taken root this last year and it’s critical that you nurture these new starts throughout 2015.

Work and efforts
You’ve successfully pushed meaningless distractions or time wasting endeavors off your plate in 2014, and you have made considerable headway in your career. Your determination and focus is paying off! Accolades and recognition from your community pour in throughout 2015. Your professional status is likely to change in a positive way! You’re sphere of influence is expanding and you’re ready for this. You might choose to invest your hard-earned cash back into your career in some way, possibly in equipment, education or training.

Relationships
True to your intense nature you’ve either let go of a relationship that wasn’t working or chosen to further invest in one that is. You don’t really do things halfway, do you? As Saturn moves into Sagittarius, this relieves some of the pressure that you have felt. Whatever your relationship status is you’re getting more comfortable with it and sinking into that groove. You’re likely to be much more social and outgoing this year. It’s time to have fun, Scorpio you deserve it!

Home life
Others might be looking to you for advice and support, Scorpio. You’ve proven your salt so to speak in 2014 and family or friends in need will seek your counsel. You’re feeling generous and warmhearted with others making this a good time to foster connections. Getting back to your family roots and revisiting the positive aspects of your childhood are healing and replenishing. You might develop some new family traditions this year. Scrap booking or going through the family treasures can be a pleasant activity.

   Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

 

Overall
You are a seeker, a philosopher, a lifelong student, and a traveler, Sagittarius. You thrive on change and you have a deep need to understand the world around you. You are a natural optimist and you know how to have fun. Your positive attitude may have been tested these last few years, my friend. This has been a time of substantial readjusting for you and you’ve been pushed to get in touch with your deeper needs and aspirations. Transformation will be a major theme this year.

Work and efforts
Speaking of transformation, you are turning over a new leaf in your career, Sagittarius. Some of you might even pursue a new profession altogether or maybe its time to bite off a new challenge. By the end of the year it’s likely that your professional status will have changed for the better. Matters to do with teaching, writing, marketing, public relations, the law, and higher education are all favored. If you need to promote yourself or something you believe in, this is a great year for it!

Relationships
Important relationships, be that business, friendship, romantic, or marital, have been shifting a lot lately. If you’re not feeling satisfied you might take a step back from the relationship to regroup. You’re not interested in wasting your time. Some emotional inventory taking is in order. Relationships that endure this will be stronger and that much more fortified due to this process. New relationships that begin now are likely to have some important common goals and possibly more serious in nature.

Home life
Once all your practical affairs are in order and your ducks are in a row, you will be in a mood to play, Sagittarius! Learning more about other cultures or planning some grand adventures will get your creative juices going. Athletic endeavors and recreational activities keep you busy. The summer is hot time for travel, especially to foreign lands (or at least to somewhere you haven’t been to before!) Research projects, cultural and religious studies, and humanitarian issues grab your attention.

  Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Overall
Happy birthday New Year baby! You’re a practical, patient, and goal oriented sign Capricorn. I’m sure you’ve already got some designs on how you want 2015 to shape up; it’s just a matter of fine-tuning the details. It’s your time of year to recharge and call in some favors. In fact, you’re likely to benefit from the wealth of others this year. (Not too shabby!) If you need a loan, a mortgage, or a leg up, this is a year to ask for it.

Work and efforts
You’re not going to shy away from hard work this year, Capricorn! Plus, you can easily prove to coworkers and bosses that you’re capable of being a team player now. However, minor feelings of dissatisfaction might have you looking to other pastures. If you’re not feeling challenged in your role or your occupation, you might be seriously considering a job change. Not that you’re gonna rush off all hotheaded (that’s not your style). More likely, you will require some time for some personal research and development.

Relationships
You might find that you’re craving more meaning in your relationships or wanting a deeper emotional intimacy with others now. This is fine; it’s simply where you’re at right. Surround yourself with people that give you the room to be yourself. (Life’s really too short for anything else, isn’t it?) Emotional connections with others are likely to reach new depths and grow. Single Capricorns are in for a sexy year ahead! New relationships are steamy and intense. Ohh la la!

Home life
Changes or adjustments on the home front are likely this year Capricorn. Be prepared that family (even extended family and relatives) might make some demands on you. You will be patient to point, but if others are stepping on your toes too hard, of course you’re going to push back! (Keep in mind; a little diplomacy can go a long way.) This is a good time to save money for rainy day, so hang on to your investment this year (unless they’re costing you too much).

    Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Overall
You are a progressive and intellectually minded sign, Aquarius. You like the stimulation of groups and have a strong need to walk to the beat of your own drum. You’ve worked hard these last few years to establish yourself, or a cause you believe in. You can (and you deserve) to feel proud of what you’ve accomplished. Throughout 2015 there’s a positive focus on your public image and your position within your community at large. (Don’t be shy about accepting the credit!)

Work and efforts
All that hard work you’ve done in the last few years is starting to pay off! Things get a little easier in 2015 Aquarius. Saturn is no longer square your sign (just for a little bit in the summer) and that means you can easily swim with the tide. Opportunities to work in team environments or meet new coworkers get you jazzed. Exciting projects might very well land on your doorstep. You’re feeling more courageous and willing to take on new challenges. Olé!

Relationships
One-to-one relationships can be a source of great joy this year. That includes close friendships, romantic relationships, and marriages. You’re feeling very generous, and in-kind, others are generous with you. Intimate connections with others reveal to you aspects about yourself and how you connect with the world around you. Single Aquarians are likely to meet someone playful, who delights in their quirkiness. Married Aquarians may discover new side to their partner and take some fun vacations together!

Home life
Matters on the domestic front are likely to feel more stable this year Aquarius. You’ve gone to great lengths to ensure that relationships and family dynamics are working as well as they can be. New opportunities arise just after your birthday season, and you might be attracted to moving to a new neighborhood. Your health greatly improves this year. It’s like there’s electricity in the air and you want to get out and move. Hiking, biking, or activities that allow you to explore and socialize are favored this year.

  Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Overall
You are a deeply visionary sign Pisces. You tend to operate best when you have something to believe in, something to help you navigate the proverbial waters of life. During the last few years you’ve gone to great lengths to sharpen and define what your true belief systems are and your moral compass is well defined now. As Saturn moves from Scorpio and into Sagittarius in 2015, you will be pushed to stand up for these beliefs. Get ready to see just how courageous you can be!

Work and efforts
It’s time to put your money where your mouth is, Pisces. This year you’re stating what you want (and need) in your career and you’ve got the guts to go after it! This is also a pivotal time of shaping your public identity, so it’s important that you’re mindful when dealing with bosses, VIP’s, and influential people. Whatever it is that you are an expert in, or an authority about; you can expect to be recognized for your efforts in those roles. Well done!

Relationships
You will likely experience a status change or an adjustment to your relationships this year. Single Pisceans may meet someone whom they can develop a meaningful relationship with. Pisceans in a difficult partnership might be considering a separation. You’re taking yourself more seriously now and you’re demanding more from the world at large. You don’t have the patience for lovers who are filled with indecision or continue to lead you on. You are ready to pledge yourself to someone and you want that assurance in return.

Home life
You’re eager to get more organized across the board, Pisces. Craft a new schedule, or develop a fresh routine that works for you. You may change what time you get up in the morning, and what time you go to bed. You’ll find your days are fuller and more productive this year. The subtle adjustments you’re making will have lasting effects. This is a great time to develop a nutrition or exercise plan that works for you. (I told ya, you’re taking yourself more seriously!)
