Do you want to know more about who you are and what you’re meant to be doing? The answer is to
have your personal year and chart done. Visi for more information.
CAPRICORN
December 21 – January 19
You’re in an exciting, if unsettling, cycle
of growth that began in June 2013 and
continues until mid-2014. However,
with the Capricorn New Moon, which
encourages you to assess how far
you’ve come and rethink your goals,
actually taking place on the year’s first
day, being open is key. Respond to
January’s unsettling developments with
inquisitiveness. Some are opportunities
in disguise, others mere shakeups, but all
broaden your horizons. Focus on learning
from who and what you encounter and
save decision-making for later.
PISCES
February 18 – March 19
Recent plans seemed perfect, but now
you’ve no choice but to rethink them.
While worrying initially, begin exploring
existing options and January’s many
new ideas, and you’ll realise there’s so
much more to discover and choose
from. Knowing that, focus on learning
what you can and meeting those who’ll
enrich your life, now or in the future.
Lasting decisions? If others are anxious,
make tentative plans. But, mostly, solid
arrangements must wait until both
circumstances and your own priorities
are clearer.
ARIES
March 20 – April 19
January’s theme is togetherness.
Relationships, at home and out in the
world, take on greater importance. Often,
projects and plans rely on others’ support.
This means discussing even simple
plans frequently and having ongoing
exchanges about your ideas, views and
priorities. While irritating, ultimately this
proves amazingly illuminating about
circumstances, the individuals involved
– and you. This also means developing
patience, which isn’t always your strength.
The effort required is justified by the
progress you make but even more, by
what you learn about yourself.
AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 17
Events are swirling around you yet
your own existence is oddly quiet.
That’s as it should be. Changes in the
lives of others may upset your routine
but, ultimately, you’re confident it will
all work out. Better yet, you’re helping
those who’re anxious or confused
deal with ongoing shifts. While yours
are coming, they’re in a different form.
The profound personal insights that
accompany the Aquarius New Moon,
on 30 January, both make sense of
recent changes and transform your
perspective on the future.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Once you understand that January’s first
half is about exploration and discovery,
not decision-making, you’ll relax and
focus on learning about those you
meet and the new, and often puzzling,
ideas you encounter. Thus, when things
come together midmonth, not only will
circumstances have changed, your
perspective will have, too. Importantly,
you realise that because certain
arrangements remain in transition,
plans are best kept flexible. Although
close relationships are shifting, too, they
lend you vital stability during this period
of transition.
STARS FOR
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Obviously, you’re annoyed when
those whose understanding of pivotal
situations is limited are allowed to make
crucial decisions. Yet as December
ends and during January’s first half,
that’s exactly what’s happening. When
you realise others are short of facts and
facing power struggles, your irritation
changes to relief. You recognise your
time’s far better spent reconsidering
the practical and financial elements
of your own life. These are complex
yet surprisingly dull. Still, what you
learn could save you both money and
anxiety.
