CAPRICORN
22 December – 19 January
Start your year with a bang. The eclipse on January 6 is in your sign and demanding change. Is your money in good shape? Checked your taxes, wills and legal issues? It's all about to sort itself out - with some help from your rational mind.
AQUARIUS
20 January – 18 February
It's a me-first month. Anyone thinking they can give you orders had better think again. Not that you want to start a revolution. So take it slowly. Get as much done by yourself as you can. Don't ask for help until you absolutely have to. Your annual happiness quota kicks in now.
PISCES
19 February – 20 March
The career has been brewing. You've dragged your attention away from friends, home, family, the empty fridge, and put your head down. How about a couple of days off now? The eclipse on January 6 sets you up for a gentler version of the same on the 21st. But two eclipses in one month can take their toll. For now, career and money are fine. Your friendships need a second look. Life-changing dramas are happening in their lives, if not in yours. Stand by. Offer help. Be kind.
ARIES
21 March – 19 April
The career's on a mission. Is a complete change on the cards? Were you shoved into a different seat while your head was turned? Has someone stolen your chair? Whatever it is, go with it. The plan may seem a little off-key, but it knows exactly what it's doing. And your finances are fantastic. Say thank you. Be grateful.
TAURUS
20 April – 20 May
Don't even think about packing just yet. The solar eclipse on January 6 will hit you with a double whammy, sending you on a mad journey inside your head. For now, stay where you are. Obviously, if you must travel, you must. The urge will be there. But the dramas you leave behind could be powerful enough to bring you hurtling back home. So stay put. Fix your life. Take care of family.
GEMINI
21 May – 20 June
Independence is great, but when you're asserting your insane ideas at the risk of love, you have to ask yourself whether your way is the best way. If you're sure you know what you're doing, go ahead and charge on regardless. But since the eclipse on January 6 has sent your head into an incomprehensible space, you might be wise to listen to someone else's advice. You could, of course, sit and sulk. Or you could go with the flow.
CANCER
21 June – 22 July
You've been ignoring your love life. You'd better watch that - you don't want it to vanish into indifference. The eclipse on January 6 insists you pay attention. If love shocks are on the cards, they're happening now. And while your heart is distracted, your money is going off in a different direction. Also, your health needs attention. Calm yourself. Some of this drama is out of your control. Some isn't. Breathe deeply. This too will pass.
LEO
23 July – 22 August
Your personal planet - the sun - is being eclipsed on January 6. Which means so are you. That could be a good thing, giving you some space while you rethink your plans. Of course, as the lunatic you are, you'll jump to an assortment of dire conclusions. Not that there's any need for panic. The universe is simply offering a chance to rethink your image, your personal value, your contribution for the year, and your approach to a fabulous new cycle.
VIRGO
23 August – 22 September
Having a good time despite the mad cosmic movement? The solar eclipse on January 6 is simply adding spice to a deliciously adventurous month. There's romance this week - of the unexpected kind - designed to smash those carefully laid plans and shift your heart into unknown zones. Excellent. Here's your chance to discover what love really means and how it feels to allow vulnerability through the door. You're afraid you won't like it. But you'll find that you do. There's a whole different you waiting to be introduced.
LIBRA
23 September – 22 October
Get some rest. Your health is suffering. Nothing life-threatening, but annoying enough to demand a few nights off. There are things you can do to lighten your load. Get a massage, delegate the tougher jobs, ease up on your schedule. You might even have to ask for some help. Mostly, though, you might try expecting a little less from yourself. Give yourself a break. You're human.
SCORPIO
23 October – 21 November
You couldn't be happier. You're looking fabulous, feeling great and succeeding at everything you try. The planets are dancing over every aspect of your life, sprinkling magic dust. There's only one tiny cause for concern as your solar eclipse brings madness to all forms of transport you encounter. So drive carefully, or get someone else to drive you. And watch that bizarre temper, especially on January 6. Rein it in. Behave like a normal person for a while.
SAGITTARIUS
22 November – 21 December
Lost the plot again? Been imagining yourself an expert in fields you know nothing about? Well, so much for that. Your finances have hit a major wobbly for no other reason than your ego ran away with itself. It's not a train smash. The eclipse on January 6 will resolve the problem, one way or another. By next week you'll be able to start again. For now, finish what you started, cool it with the outlandish promises, and make a pact with yourself to stick to what you know. And sure, learn more skills as you go. But hold back on the mad decisions...
