After all the eggnog and binging with much festive cheer, we hope you've had a fabulous Christmas full of love. As 2007 winds down to an end, we look forward to a greater 2008. For a little ju-ju, here's a peek into the future.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
No sign more than you appreciates being prepared: you have a long-range view of life, and you plan for a rainy day. This year not only encourages you to prepare but also makes it doable. During the next 12 months, two wonderful changes will make a dramatic difference in your life. For the first time in 12 years, lucky Jupiter is in your sign -- this means that you'll be lucky! The gods are with you for 2008, bringing you excellent opportunities. Meanwhile, back at the drawing board, you see exactly what you want to achieve -- it's almost within your grasp. Now is the time to further your training, travel or do whatever you can to enhance your chances for your destined success, which is about two years away -- it's all up to you!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
You are in the midst of an unusual eight-month transition of Mars (this last occurred in the '70s), which spurs you to work harder than ever before. You're working hard because partners are contributing less to your coffers and you want to clean up debt. Privately, you're exploring your spiritual realm; as you do, you'll be surprised to discover what a cool person you are! You'll be less self-critical and appreciate your good qualities. This increased self-love is not narcissistic, though; it's more of a quiet confidence.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)
This year you're finally in the game -- you're a player! The only dark cloud on the horizon is partnerships. This is a testing time for close relationships: those that are meant to last will endure. Ironically, your popularity with others increases enormously. In the bedroom, lusty Mars guarantees hot sex! You feel playful, flirtatious, prankish and full of fun. Indulge yourself with some strappy stilettos --you've worked for the right to strut your stuff! Life will flow easily this year: you feel generous and tolerant, and you're “thinking big.”
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Most recently, you've been pounding your head against the wall, looking for ways to express your creative self -- especially professionally. In a few years, you'll make your real debut in the world, so you'll have to put your house in order. Now it's time to face some serious hard work -- your effectiveness as a human being will be tested. Take care of your health -- your body is your tool. Be patient with domestic conflict and chaos during the first six months of 2008. Your professional efforts will generate wonderful results because, for the first time since 1996, moneybags Jupiter is at the top of your chart. (Yee-haw!) Your career will be wonderfully blessed. Expect to expand in areas of publishing, higher education, dealings with foreign countries, the law, medicine and the media. Heads, you win -- and heads it is!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You're entering one of the most auspicious years you've had in a long time. Why? You're an Earth sign, and this year both Jupiter and Saturn are in Earth signs, which bodes well for you. (This is good news!) You now have a strong sense of who you are -- and who you aren't -- but that deeper question “What do I want to be when I grow up?” still lingers. You will seriously address this in 2008: many of you will go back to school, further your training or education or travel to broaden your experience; some of you will have increased responsibilities with children. Whatever happens, the gods are with you because both Jupiter and Saturn are “helping” you -- that's why you feel increased energy, especially intellectually. You're more confident in all your dealings with others -- and, believe me, it shows!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
For the first time since 1978–1980, Saturn is forcing you to focus on where you live. (We're not talking new duvet covers or bathroom towels; this is the real deal.) You need to secure your external home (vis-à-vis where you live), as well as your inner home (your relationship with yourself and your family). It's a good year to pursue any kind of therapy or self-help to achieve this. It's also why you want to buy a home or renovate where you live -- you'll work hard at earning money (and spending it!) to do this. Fortunately, moneybags Jupiter will bring on inheritances, loans, mortgages, gifts and goodies. You will also benefit from the wealth of your partner. And your sex drive will be super-amped this year!
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Mars is the planet of sexual energy and aggression. Every two years, it stays in each sign for about seven weeks. But thanks to a celestial quirk, it will stay in your sign for seven months (instead of weeks) at the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008. (You're PowerPoint on steroids!) You'll swagger with ease and have tons of drive, energy and enthusiasm. But you might overwhelm others, so be aware of this until it moves on in mid-May. This increased energy will help you juggle residential or job changes that are likely to happen sometime over the next two years; it will also help you deal with partners and close friends. Partnerships will be a big deal in 2008, and the benefits will apply to personal and professional relationships. Many singles will hook up, and some of you will get involved with someone older or more established. (Great -- that means they can pick up the tab for dinner!)
Leo(July 23 – Aug. 22)
Externally, you appear more focused on money and possessions, and this is true: you're giving much thought to how you earn -- and spend -- money. But underlying this is the search for a meaningful value system -- in other words, what really matters in life. (You never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.) This year heralds wonderful possibilities for your health and job. In fact, you can improve your job so much this year that it will make your head spin. Your evil boss will get fired -- or hired elsewhere. And if your job doesn't improve, you'll get a wonderful new job -- you can count on it!
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
You'll experience more changes this year than any other sign. You've gone through a lot of loss, but you've triumphed on your journey through the dark night of the soul. This year, it's your turn for romance, vacations, partying and all that fun stuff. (Yay!) Explore the arts and get in touch with your creative talent. Enjoy playful activities with children as well. You will definitely take a vacation. It's all about pleasure and enjoyment! (Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.) But your increased confidence could provoke conflict or competitiveness with someone. You'll have to handle this skillfully. And, hey, who's having all the fun this year? You are! Of course, you will work, but this year you'll have an opportunity to cultivate more joy than you've experienced in over a decade.
Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
You need beauty and harmony around you. Squalor and fighting can bring you down. Jupiter is the largest planet and represents wealth, good fortune, expansion and joy. This year, Jupiter sits in the part of your chart that rules home, family, real estate and your private world. Your wealth and assets will increase through your home or real estate. Relations with family will be lovely. Ironically, while all of these wonderful things are going on, you'll let go of whatever is no longer relevant in your life. Don't think of letting go as loss; think of it as liberation. You're lightening your load so that you can better enjoy your world.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
You stepped into the world in 1999 and became increasingly aware of your level of influence. Although you muddled through changes when your partner lost a job, your confidence grew as you approached 2005–2007 -- this was when you clearly saw what was working in your life and what wasn't. You are strong with your success now and know what you're capable of -- and so do others! Until now, your focus has been on achieving personal success. In 2008, however, there's a subtle shift: your challenge is to learn how to work through -- and with --others. How can you be a member of the tribe yet maintain your independence and integrity? This is your challenge. Fortunately, lucky Jupiter will make you happier because your thoughts will be more positive. Your attitude in 2008 is one of optimism -- your plans for the future are larger and more expansive. Travel and new studies will make life more interesting.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
This is the year you've been waiting for! Your world is looking so bright, you're gonna need to wear shades. Of course, you have to keep track of your success -- and what better way to do this than by counting money? Yup: the cheque is in the mail. Count on earning more money this year than you've earned in over a decade. You are hot to trot. Work-related travel is possible. Major expenditures are also likely. And get this: Mars is going to boost your sex drive. How can one sign have it all? Be patient over disputes concerning shared property -- you'll get what's yours.
