Aries — March 21-April 19:
The last few weeks have probably been very busy for you with Mars travelling through your area of friends and friendship giving you no problems with social invitations although possibly giving you some problems with friendships. Don’t worry about this too much though as Venus is also entering this area of your chart around the 4th which will go a long way in helping to rectify any problems you may have had. It also suggests that a friendship may blossom into more of a romance and as you also have Mercury in this area of your chart you can be sure there will be some very interesting conversations happening. That is until Mercury turns retrograde later in the month and those conversations may dry up a bit along with some of the friendships they fostered. There is a sense of freedom you may also be feeling with Saturn now in your area of fun and laughter however this sense of freedom comes with a cost and that cost is more responsibility from you when it comes to letting your hair down. You’ll be thinking more of consequences versus just rushing in without thought. Sound scary? I thought it might for a ram.
Moon in Aries January 25, 26
Taurus — April 20-May 20:
The last few years have not been a barrel of laughs or much fun for you especially when it came to your love life. Many things may have changed for you and left you feeling as if you have been through the mill when it comes to your relationships. As you enter 2015 you can do so with the knowledge that Saturn has now left your relationship area giving you room to breathe more freely and make changes you may have been striving for. Mid month on the 15th and 16th as the moon shines in your relationship area Mars also moves into your area of friends and friendships. This is a particular time of the month to be on the lookout for anything resurfacing from your past that may come back to bite you and you would do well to keep a low profile around this time. For the most part though January will feel like a breath of fresh air to you particularly when it comes to work. And after the last few years under Saturn’s influence this is exactly what you need! Throw yourself into life and put the past behind you.
Moon in Taurus January 1, 27, 28
Gemini — May 21-June 21:
2014 may be behind you but you are just about to experience Saturn travelling through your sign for the next few years. You have a bit of leeway between mid June to mid September when Saturn retrogrades back into Scorpio but for the most part of this year you may find yourself feeling the pinch of Saturn in opposition to your Sun. Mercury, Venus and earlier in the month Mars move through an area of your chart that simply shouts to you to go out, let your hair down and have some fun. Around the 20th as the Sun moves in to Aquarius there is a new moon also in this sign and you may find you are more than ever wanting to break down anything that is holding you back and simple be free. Don’t act too hastily though as around this time Mercury turns retrograde so it is the time to plan, plan and plan some more. It is not the time to try to break free of something in your life without giving it proper planning. If you act in haste you may learn later (or sooner) that you missed an important piece of information and that information was crucial to your long term goals.
Moon in Gemini January 2, 3, 30, 31
Cancer — June 22-July 23:
The new year starts with a full moon in your sign on the 4th giving you even more reason to focus on your home and family. It will also allow you to experience the fullness of your own heart and this is especially true this month as it is in close contact with Pluto (opposition) and Uranus (square). Be on the lookout for any revelations that come to light around this time and be prepared to deal with them. Saturn’s movement into Sagittarius will also help with any upheavals you have had around family and home life in the past few years. You are not out of the woods yet but the next few months will afford you a break from the worrying and stress that was present in the preceding few years. Mercury is positioned to allow for some secrets to come out and as Venus is also in this area of your chart those secrets may be related to your love life. Don’t be too impatient at finding out the whole story just yet though as Mercury turns retrograde after the 22nd so there may be more to come. Mars will have you champing at the bit to take action however patience may be your best weapon this month… especially if it involves having a few secrets of your own up your sleeve.
Moon in Cancer January 4, 5, 6
Leo — July 24-August 23:
Your love life features highly as the new year kicks off with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all contributing to this area of your life. Mars adds energy and action to your relationship but be careful it doesn’t add too much energy and action as it is the god of war. Venus after the 5th is also giving your relationships an extra boost while Mercury gives you an easiness with communication. If you do have any discussions you need to have with your partner you may wish to have these sooner rather than later in the month as Mercury also turns retrograde in your relationship area and this spells out one thing… crossed wires, miscommunication and trouble with relationship talks. A new moon on the 20th gives more weight to the run of luck you are having with your love life however make sure you make any changes or have any talks you were planning before the 22nd because Mercury turning retrograde may scupper anything you were trying to get across to your partner. At that time Mars will have moved into an area of your chart which is known for secrets… the type you just want to dig up and act upon. Might be best to practice patience.
Moon in Leo January 7, 8
Virgo — August 24-September 22:
The new moon on the 20th alongside the Sun moving into Aquarius falls in your work area. You probably haven’t needed much prodding this month to get on with your job given that you’ve had a quite a lot of planets spurring you forward to get down and work harder. Some good and some not so good. On the good side first… Mars gives you the energy and stamina to get through a lot of your workload in the early part of the month alongside Venus making you everyone’s “darling”. The real culprit for you and work though may come in the form of Mercury, your ruling planet, and it turning retrograde around the 22nd. Any projects you need to complete this month try to have them finished before Mercury turns retrograde and possibly puts so many spanners in the works for you that you are chasing your own tail to try to get anything done. Rather, as the month draws to a close, you might want to concentrate more on your love life and relationship given that Mars is in this area of your chart after mid month and also being joined by Venus in the last few days of the month you need to be ready for any changes coming your way… especially linked to your relationship.
Moon in Virgo January 9, 10, 11
Libra — September 23-October 22:
As the new year begins you may have your thoughts more on your home life than anything else but after the first week those thoughts take on a more creative edge. If you have been thinking of taking up a creative project or class then this is the month to look at that more seriously as your creative talents begin to come to the fore. There is playfulness and fun around for you this month to various degrees as several planets move through various parts of your chart giving you a lightheartedness that is hard to ignore. The other thing which is around for you this month is work. Mars is in your work area after the 13th and urging you to get everything done “yesterday”. This may not go down too well with that other part of you that is just begging you to put everything down and enjoy yourself. The new moon on the 20th reignites your sense of freedom and you need to be clear with yourself and others in what you want. With Mercury turning retrograde on the 22nd your time of frivolity and playfulness may come to an end and if you keep pushing for freedom this may be met with opposition not only from those around you but also from your work place.
Moon in Libra January 12, 13
Scorpio — October 23-November 22:
The full moon on the 4th can’t come soon enough for you as it gives you a further sense of freedom and after the last few years of Saturn in your sign you well and truly deserve to feel as if a weight has lifted from your life. This full moon also has repercussions for you in the sense that it comes into contact with both Pluto and Uranus further urging you to change and unleash yourself from the past. The many planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars as well as the Sun which are travelling through your area of home and family this month bring out your softer side and when Mars changes signs on the 13th you will be in a fun mood with the possibility of some romance. If you are single someone may come into your life at this time who will sweep you off your feet and with Venus also joining Mars in this sector of your chart later in the month there is every possibility that this romance will be spectacular. The new moon of the 20th further highlights your need to deal with anything on the home front and also gives you a new chance for making something that may have been going wrong there right.
Moon in Scorpio January 14, 15, 16
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20:
Saturn has now entered your sign which perhaps is making you feel a bit more serious and a little less frivolous. It retrogrades back into Scorpio between mid June to mid September but after that it is well and truly in your sign for the next few years. Mercury is in your area of communication this month and on the 22nd turns retrograde. This may lead to some confusing times for you around communication and not just the usual communication mix ups Mercury generally delivers when it is retrograde. Because it is specifically in your communication area you need to be doubly alert to things going wrong. This is not the month to buy a new computer, change your phone plan or lay new electrical wiring. This is more the month to chase things up, fix them before they become more of a problem and just generally try to stay out of anything that could go wrong communication wise. This includes you being in any arguments or disagreements as they may soon turn into a stand off with you not knowing what to do to fix things. With Venus close to Mercury this month you can guess where that stand off and not being able to fix it will hit you… in your love life.
Moon in Sagittarius January 17, 18
Capricorn — December 21-January 20:
The full moon in your relationship sector on the 4th coincides with Venus moving out of your own sign. Your ideas about love and relationships have probably been challenged the last few weeks alongside some truly shining moments of clarity as Venus moved through your sign. Whilst Venus in your own sign is a lovely transit to experience the fact that a full moon is happening in your relationship sector just as Venus exits your sign may mean that a change is on the horizon for you when it comes to your love life. Remember the full moon usually shines its light right where you need to be looking and in your case, this month, it is at your relationship Capricorn. Around the 6th Mercury will also move out of your sign which places both Venus and Mercury in an area of your chart that will be spelling out to you what you need to feel secure. If your relationship has not been giving you the stability and security you need perhaps it is time to take a look at what you do need there and make sure your needs are being met.
Moon in Capricorn January 19, 20
Aquarius — January 21-February 19:
January’s new moon in Aquarius also aligns with the sun moving into your sign. Seems that you will start this year off with quite a bit going on for you and it all looks good! You’ve had the last few weeks to gain insights into your love life through both Mercury and Venus travelling through an area of your chart that was bound to raise some unconscious thoughts within you. Now as this month begins, especially after the first week, you will be able to put some of those insights into action. Mars, planet of action, will help you with this as it is also in your sign until the 13th. One thing you may need to watch for though is Mercury turning retrograde in your sign after the 22nd. This is not necessarily a bad thing as Mercury retrograde is brilliant for planning and giving you the freedom to sift through your thoughts on what you really want. However, there seems to be a timeframe here where any actions you wish to take are best taken during the first part of the month as opposed to the second. Keep this in mind when you come up with your grand plans! Shortly, before Mercury turns retrograde there is a new moon on the 20th and whilst this may give you the feeling that your love life is about to take off to new heights… Mercury turning retrograde may lay that theory right on its head before it even begins.
Moon in Aquarius January 21, 22
Pisces — February 20-March 20:
There are many things the new year brings to you in January and first and foremost is a heightening of your already intuitive senses. With the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in this sector of your chart at one point or another during the month you can be excused for thinking you are in a dream. These planets will affect your love life and communication and also get you in touch with your own self. As the month progresses first Mars enters your own sign giving you a possibly much needed boost in getting down to business and allowing you to accomplish quite a lot. The new moon on the 20th also falls in your area of intuition making this a month you could possibly look at opening up that aspect about yourself more. Mercury is retrograde and shall be allowing you to further get in touch with other aspects of yourself you possibly didn’t know were there. As the month comes to a close Venus moves into your sign giving you a powerful boost to your love life in an oh so gentle way. The start of 2015 looks very bright for Pisceans.
