Christmas is already in the rear-view mirror, but the solar eclipse in Capricorn continues have an impact, marking this passage of time as holding special significance. Perhaps it is an anniversary or a milestone achieved, something that has been long in the works or something not yet recognized: the eclipse suggests we’ll look back on this Christmas as the last of many and/or the first of many more to come.

Friday puts more of everything on the go. Sun/Jupiter favours travel and/or squeezing in as much reward as you can before getting back to reality.
Back to work Monday/Tuesday, the flow is good. The end of 2019 slips out on a Pisces moon. Quiet and relaxed, romantic or spiritual, movies or live music, the sweet spot is easy to find on New Year’s Eve.

Don’t expect the new year to get off to a slow start! The year begins with a total of seven important planetary placements in Capricorn, the set-it-in-stone archetype. Starting January 3, Mars in Sagittarius hits a take-flight or hit-the-ground-running trajectory. Watch for plenty of action or buildup in the week that follows. A lunar eclipse in Cancer and the end of Uranus retrograde kick up the intensity dial as of January 10. This lunar eclipse is accompanied by several major planetary alignments, most notably the meeting of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. Together, they push a reset button on the shaping of reality at all levels.

There are several important transits that will arch over the whole year ahead, which is speeding up the process of cementing our future and setting the long-term into play. It is a time for courage, risk-taking, and innovation. Be the change!

Aries
March 20 - April 20

Ease your way back into full-steam-ahead but don’t hesitate to go full tilt on creativity or inspirations of the moment, especially Friday through the weekend. Mercury in Capricorn, starting Saturday, can assist you to get better focused, organized, and under control. Quiet or easy is best for New Year’s Eve. Expect to pick up much greater speed as of January 3.

Taurus
April 20 - May 21

Friday through Monday is great for travel or a change of pace. Easy does it right for New Year’s Eve. On the bigger-picture note, the course of your future is gaining more definition. What shapes up next is timely and long-term. If you don’t have a good feel for it yet, trust the advance of time to colour it in more.

Gemini
May 21 - June 21

As of the weekend, it’s time to get moving and/or get more productive. Overall, next week hits a smooth track. Simple and easy-does- it are best for ringing in the New Year. As of next Friday, Mars begins a six-week transit tour of Sagittarius. It’s a good transit for travel, education, sports or fitness activities, marketing, exploring, and getting a move on.

Cancer
June 21 - July 22

The Christmas Day solar eclipse will continue to have an impact on the weeks and months to come. An especially potent lunar eclipse in Cancer is just two weeks away. Both eclipses put reality on an acceleration curve. Relax on New Year’s Eve; after that, roll up your sleeves and get to work! The faster you get on it, the faster you’ll reach higher ground.

Leo
July 22 - August 23

Plug in a movie or play up the romance on New Year’s Eve. Quiet-and-cozy does it best for your end-of-year celebration. As of next Friday, Mars enters Sagittarius. It’s one of your best action transits. Along with the lunar eclipse on January 8, expect January to keep you going strong. There’s no time to waste and much to be gained.

Virgo
August 23 - September 23

The end of the year can simply slip by, but don’t expect January to do the same! As of the second week of the new year, the stars hit full-steam-ahead. Mars in Sagittarius, a lunar eclipse, and heavyweights Saturn and Pluto will support you, empower you, or force you to take charge in some new way. Take aim, go, and gain!

Libra
September 23 - October 23

Working on New Year’s Eve? Ignoring it? The evening should prove smooth going, but, in truth, what matters is not how you mark the turning of the year but how you face the year ahead. Venus in Aquarius (through mid-January), Mars in Sagittarius (to mid-February), and two eclipses (one past, one coming) assist you to get a good head start. Ready, set, go!

Scorpio
October 23 - November 22

There’s just under one more week to the end of the year and just a little over one more week of Mars in Scorpio. Even when you ease up on full throttle, you’ll still make the most of both. Over the year ahead, Jupiter and the rest of the group in Capricorn support you to turn the plan or project into a reality.

Sagittarius
November 22 - December 21

Keeping spirits bright, Friday’s sun/Jupiter supplies you with ample inspiration and enthusiasm. It’s a good combo for travel or getting a move on, for enjoying your time with others or on your own. Mercury’s exit out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn on Saturday calls for getting it under better control. Look to Mars in Sagittarius, starting January 3, to supply fresh incentive.

Capricorn
December 21 - January 20

The Christmas Day eclipse continues in full play through Friday’s sun/Jupiter conjunction. Mercury in Capricorn, starting Saturday, keeps you going strong too. Body, mind/plan, heart or wallet: both transits put (or keep) you on the move. Seven planets in Capricorn see you hit the ground running and keep you in powerhouse mode through the first half of January.

Aquarius
January 20 - February 18

Friday/Saturday, a change of pace/something fresh hits the spot. Sunday/Monday, the flow is good. Low-key is your best pick for New Year’s Eve. Venus in Aquarius keeps you on a fresh battery charge through the middle of January. As of January 3, Mars in Sagittarius revs up the action and the pace. A lunar eclipse builds!

Pisces
February 18 - March 20

Soak it up; get your pleasure fill. The stars keep it rolling well through the end of the year. New Year’s Eve, the Pisces moon favours playing it moment to moment. Plan to hit the ground running in the second week of January. Watch for the year ahead to turn the long-awaited promise into a reality.
