(Mary's an Aquarius by the way.)
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
The beginning of the year is a good time for you to take action on your career goals and aspirations. Trust your gut feelings in situations at work and approach tasks with a pleasant manner and you could find you are winning favours, impressing the right people and getting results.
Taurus (20 April - 20th May)
The planet Mars has been giving you extra energy for a couple of months now, which will continue through January making you proactive; if a little too forceful at times. You have also been caught in some planetary conflict lately – take care in all matters to avoid upset or possible confusion.
Gemini (21 May -21 June)
Your mind is set for doing the sums this month, which means you will be in the right mood to deal with any money issues. Whether you simply want to draw up a budget of your incomings and outgoings or you want to plan for a big financial decision, now is a great time to put the wheels in motion.
Cancer (22 June - 22 July)
Relationships or business partnerships will benefit from your attention this month. There’s a good sign that progress can be made in this area and your relationship should move to the next level. Two heads are better than one now especially if there is money to be made.
Leo (23 July - 22 August)
Life has had a stop-start feel to it for a while now and you will feel that for every two steps forwards there’s one step back. The best way forward now is by seizing opportunities when they arise with both hands and when you find yourself in a lull, then use that time to take stock and make plans.
Virgo (23 August - 22 September)
Meeting the demands of work and family at the expense of your health is not wise and you are in danger of doing just that. Skipping meals and rushing about will leave you exhausted and soon you won’t be any help to anyone. Don’t be a martyr - give some time to number one.
Libra (23 September - 22 October)
You could find you are caught between two difficult choices - do you take a big chance when you know there are hidden risks? Or do you play it safe and in turn risk missing out on something big? Unsurprisingly, you need to strike a balance between the two – take a chance, but only if you are sure.
Scorpio (23 October - 21 November)
You are full of life and eager to start the year with big plans and fanciful ideas for the future. Likely the enthusiasm of a close partner is spurring you on. If you feel that work commitments and family members are holding you back, make it clear that you need space to do your own thing for now.
Sagittarius (22 November - 21 December)
Working behind the scenes is not really your style, but right now your energy could be best used doing magnanimous deeds for the less fortunate. A bit of voluntary work could open doors to worlds you never knew existed. You could soon discover tremendous talents you never knew you had.
Capricorn (22 December - 16 January)
January is your month – it’s an ideal time for you to think about what you want from the year ahead. You are one of the signs of the zodiac that really benefits from New Year resolutions. Team up this bit of soul searching with social engagements as you are feeling friendly and are good company now.
Aquarius (20 January - 18 February)
It may be the New Year but you have to deal with some conflicting planetary energy that has been going on for a while now and looks set to continue into January. Think about what you can reasonably achieve in the year ahead and set about doing it rather than taking on lots of unnecessary projects.
Pisces (19 February - 20 March)
Your ruling planets Neptune and Jupiter are at odds with each other now and this could represent a clash of interests inside you, making you feel pulled in opposite directions. Don’t feel pressurised into making any commitments now. Make sure you take care of yourself and leave big decisions for next month.
