TAURUS April 20th - May 20th Stay open to the new and innovative as the season unfolds. You might find yourself unusually philosophical and introspective. Come February you could feel unsettled and lacking clarity on the direction your goals are taking you. Try and surrender, the more you accept the idea that you can't control everything the easier this time will be. March could bring some sudden, unexpected changes, especially in relationships outside of the family. Again the more you yield, the more productive this time can be.

GEMINI May 21st - June 21st Start this period by reviewing shared resources with a 'fine tooth comb'. Leave nothing to chance, and this also applies to emotional investments you have made in your intimate relationships. February could be an opportune time for a romantic getaway or unusual adventure. Change is almost certainly in the air as Springtime approaches, especially on the work/career front. Some of this might be sudden and unexpected, but you have to prune old growth to allow for the new, although at times it can be painful.

CANCER June 22nd - July 22nd 'Working' on your relationships may feel like having to trudge back through old territory again as the New Year unfolds. Nonetheless the more committed you are at this time, the more you will reap rewards later. February is not a time to entrust your money or your emotions to anyone you don't 100% trust. Watch for 'he who speaks with forked tongue'. Hopefully as springtime approaches you will find yourself more philosophical and consequently able to see the bigger picture, which could give you a deeper more authentic sense of security.

LEO July 23rd - August 22nd The New Year could begin with an early Spring Cleaning. Reviewing and taking care of the, at times irritating finer details of life will eventually pay off in spades. This includes your personal health regime and your responsibilities and duties towards others. Adding to these distractions from your favorite subject, you're own scintillating self. February could require that you put your partners needs before your own. On the up side this could be a romantic, or spiritually uplifting time with your loved one. Deeper psychological insights into your own psyche and the nature of your most intimate relationships could be your reward as we move towards springtime.

VIRGO August 23rd - September 22nd There could be word from an old flame around the New Year. Another possibility is that you could be involved in activities or projects with your kids,(or other peoples) which bring up memories of the past. You are probably someone who enjoys your day-to-day routines, and February could find you branching out into new and innovative ways of doing what might seem mundane to others. This might evolve into you making changes not only in your daily habits but also in your relationships come March. This could take both you and others by surprise.

LIBRA September 23rd - October 23rd If there are unresolved issues with family members now is the time to face them head on. It's true that you don't really like confrontation and would rather act as mediator than aggressor, however there are times when it is important to stand your ground, and this is probably one of them. Things may be less emotional in February and your perspective clearer, treat yourself to something frivolous and pleasurable. Pay attention to your health in March, try and steer any addictive behavior towards what is good for you rather than what is toxic.

SCORPIO October 24th - November 21st You might end this year and begin the next one with some serious conversations, with the objective being to clear up issues from the past. Hopefully this will lead to better understandings, especially on the home front. You can be rather a 'dark horse', and if you want the compassion of others sometimes you need to spell things out. It could be time for fun and creative activities in March, the unexpected gifts for coming out of the shadows and letting others know what you need. You're probably not nearly as tough as you'd like them all to think.

SAGITTARIUS November 22nd - December 21st Begin the New Year by taking stock of your own personal security and your sense of self worth. If work needs to be done to bolster them, do it! Creative and thought provoking verbal exchanges with others could be the key to deeper self-understanding in February. You may strive to be ever optimistic but there are times when you just need to surrender to the fact that you aren't always steering the ship, and it is okay sometimes to lay low and let others carry the torch.

CAPRICORN December 22nd - January 19th It would be preferable if you started the New Year focusing on your personal needs rather than what you expect of yourself, or what you perceive others to expect of you. A little introspection at this time could go a long way towards helping you achieve your goals. Once you strip away the expectations and responsibilities, you may find you don't actually know what it is that gives you a solid sense of self. If you allow yourself to surrender to this, as Spring approaches you could find yourself experiencing some rather earth shattering revelations.

AQUARIUS January 20th - February 18th You could be literally on the verge of having some rather profound spiritual breakthroughs in your life. The New Year might begin with a rather otherworldly feel that could quite literally start feeling like the norm to you. Your values and sense of self might be turned upside down. Don't hold onto the past, as we move into springtime a new life is opening up to you, although to the casual observer nothing much on the outside might appear to have changed.

PISCES February 19th - March 20th Begin the New Year by reconnecting with old friends or associates you may have been neglecting. These same people may turn out to be the rocks that keep you grounded in the times to come. Change is in the air, and it is fine to have your head in the clouds as long as your feet are firmly on the ground. Day-to-day rituals, especially around health and diet are important. If you have addictive tendencies, try not to succumb to them. This is too special a time to miss by putting yourself into a self inflicted haze!
