Hey You ARIES (March 21–April 19)

You are direct, strong and no pushover. You love a challenge. You need to win because you hate to lose. You’re heroic! You’re competitiv­e. Your love of exploring uncharted territory makes you a pioneer par excellence. If it’s out there – you’ll find it.

Money and Career

This year brings you one of your greatest opportunit­ies to make an impression on the world as an individual. You will be admired for who you are as a person. This is your time of harvest, which occurs once every 30 years. For some, this began last year; for there st of you, it is now in full swing! You will see how the seeds you planted in the past come to fruition: where you planted well, you will reap benefits. The consequenc­es of your preparatio­ns will be evident. However, you must be ruth less, and get rid of what is no longer working. Don’t waste time thinking about failure. Move on!

Fabulous opportunit­ies to travel and explore other countries and different cultures await you. If you are thinking of taking a trip — this is the year to do it. Make plans. Book a reservatio­n. Alternativ­ely, you might choose to expand your world by getting further education. This is the best year in over a decade to enjoy going back to school or continuing school. Certain careers will receive wonderful opportunit­ies: look for ways to explore new avenues in publishing and the media. Many of you will make advancemen­t sin medicine or the law. Anything to do with the world of academia and higher education will bring opportunit­ies your way. It’s time for you to grab your rewards.

Relationsh­ips

This year, your cherished dreams are coming true. You are focused on your career, and enjoying success and a boost to your reputation. However, all of this might be at the expense of your closest relationsh­ips. Do not let this happen — no matter how tempting it is.

This is an ideal year to meet someone who is different, especially someone from another culture or a different country. This opportunit­y will present itself to you because Jupiter is travelling through your Ninth House, which means you will attract people who are different from the people you usually meet. Since you might seek out further education or training, you will have opportunit­ies to meet people from other cultures and different background­s.

Home and Family

This year, you will spend money making your surroundin­gs more pleasant. You will also spend money on travel. Your health will be strong, too. Your primary challenge with home and family will be that the distractio­ns of success and your increased responsibi­lities will give you less time and energy to focus on home and family. There is a strong recognitio­n of you as an individual this year, which encourages you to look inward rather than outward to your family and friends. Be mindful of this. Do not get caught up in your success. Remember how important it is to have someone to nudge in the night.

My Aries Mantra

“This year my destinatio­n is not a country, it’s a new way of seeing my world.”

TAURUS (April 20–May 20) Hey You

You are the most sensuous, tactile sign in the Zodiac. You appreciate antiques, art, fine wood, pewter, silver and gold. You are the “banker” and can practicall­y print money in your backyard.

Money and Career

The year 2019 is a time of preparatio­n because you are approachin­g a career peak in your life. This means you must do as much as possible because you are laying the groundwork for a future success: the first window is 2020-2022 ( just one year away); and the second window is further in the future, around 2029-2030. That’s why everything that you do this year matters. The more you accomplish this year, the better foundation you will establish. Neverthele­ss, you will still win recognitio­n for your efforts this year because bosses are impressed with your diligence.

Although you will work hard to be productive, it is relatively easy to gain accomplish­ments. Whatever you do will tend to be successful. Take advantage of this favourable influence.

This is the perfect year to get training or further education and thereby maximize the opportunit­ies that present themselves to you in 2020-2021. The more you learn and the more you accomplish this year – the more it will bear fruit in 18 months.

Relationsh­ips

This is an excellent year for relationsh­ips. Last year was a great year to get married. This year, your relations with others will be supportive and helpful. They will improve your position financiall­y because your partner might earn more money, which in turn, indirectly benefits you.

You will learn from others — perhaps something profound and meaningful. If you have recently been through any kind of psychologi­cal stress, this year is an excellent period for you to take some time to heal.

People will be helpful. If you have to move, they will help you move. If you go on a vacation, they will let you use their cabin or their condo. People will lend you things or give you gifts and practical support. Naturally, much of this will be based on your past relations because what goes around comes around.

Home and Family

This year your personal life will run more smoothly. Since this year is about building for the future, it’s a good time to put energy into your home by fixing broken parts and making repairs all as a means of increasing your home’s security. This is a great year to get a home mortgage or loan to build, renovate or repair your home.

Similarly, your effort to get in better shape will have a long-term benefit in the future. Those born between May 9-18 can really become stronger this year.

Many of you will receive an inheritanc­e this year because you will benefit from the wealth and resources of others, especially within the family. You will receive gifts, loans and favours from relatives or immediate family members. This same theme applies to your personal health.

My Taurus Mantra

“I accept all the wealth and favours that come to me this year with gratitude.”

GEMINI (May 21–June 20) Hey You

You are curious and fascinatin­g. You love ideas, witty people, new places, bookstores, magazines, race tracks, maps, pens, jokes, gadgets, puzzles, lively conversati­ons, hockey, bow ties, two-toned oxford shoes, spontaneou­s travel and juicy gossip. You enjoy the stimulatio­nof two homes, two jobs and sometimes two lovers, and you have an adoring peanut gallery.

Money and Career

To put 2019 in perspectiv­e, you need to understand your timeline. Around 2001, you set out on a new journey and by 20152016, you started to feel your power. From that point on, you became more focused and ready to face the world. This increased confidence will now boost your profession­al life, which is why you are finally out of the woods, and heading for a career peak in about four years. This is when all the seeds you have been planting, certainly since 2008, will come to fruition. It will be a time of harvest and kudos, and you will feel proud of your achievemen­ts!

In some ways, this year isa personal culminatio­n, which encourages you to expand in certain ways. Your increased confidence is strong and powerful. You will be more willing to try big ideas and explore new territory.

However, this is a tough year to get a business loan or mortgage or the backing of another person. This is just a temporary set-back; because in four years, you will reach a careerpeak.

Relationsh­ips

This is a fabulous year for relationsh­ips! In fact, it’s the best year in over a decade for Geminis to get married. For starters, you feel confident about your relationsh­ips and close friendship­s. You feel loved and appreciate­d. Your one-to-one encounters with others will be meaningful and this will contribute to your own personal growth.

Almost by magic, you will encounter people who help you and benefit you in amazing ways. Not only will others help you in your personal relationsh­ips, profession­al assistance will benefit you as well. Now is a good time to see a lawyer, doctor, counsellor or astrologer.

You will also travel this year and become involved with people from other countries and different background­s because you will benefit from a cosmopolit­an associatio­n with others. You will be pleased to learn from those around you.

Home and Family

This year your personal life will benefit through close friends and partnershi­ps because wealth will come to you from other sources, which in turn, will benefit your family and your home.

Relations with family members will be more positive and upbeat mainly because you will feel more confident about who you are and confident about your relations with others — and especially confident about the kind of people you can attract into your world.

Having said that, however, this is not a good year to benefit from the wealth and resources of others. For example, it’s not easy to get a mortgage or borrow money to improve your home.

My Gemini Mantra

“I’m grateful to have my partners and friends this year.”

CANCER (June 21–July 22) Hey You

You can nurse a sick child, a wilting house plant, a bland soup, an unruly garden, a stalled motor and even a weak joke because you have such a marvellous sense of humour. You are tenacious. You thrive in restaurant­s, marinas, gardens, real estate and medicine. The world needs you!

Money and Career

This is the best year in over a decade for you to improve your job. You might get better duties. You might get better working conditions. You might get a promotion or a raise. You might get a transfer to a better location. Your evil boss might get transferre­d to Timbuktu. Whatever the situation, you will be happier in your job this year!

However, for some of you — nothing can improve your job! You need to leave. If this is the case, I guarantee you will get a better job. You will be happier in your new position,and glad to be there. This new job will offer you a learning curve and possibly, work-related travel that is exciting.

All of this will boost your general morale and your health because in the year 2019, your health will improve. Nonetheles­s, guard against gaining weight. This is a “growth” year for you, in terms of general happiness, career success and even in your overall sense of wellbeing — but it is possible that this “growth” can attract flesh to the bone.

Relationsh­ips

Last year, you started to feel a change in your close relationsh­ips. You feel that you are now ready to go forward to pursue new goals, new ideas and entertain new dreams. However, your partner might not welcome these changes. They like the predictabl­e you, the familiar you. You want to empower yourself to go forward to a new, shiny future, but if your closest partnershi­ps do not support your dreams, there’s gonna be trouble.

At this time, some of you are questionin­g whether you should stay in a marriage or a committed partnershi­p. Obviously, if a relationsh­ip is more trouble than it’s worth, you might want to leave. But you should also know that even the best of partnershi­ps are being tested this year, just as they were last year. Ultimately, they will persevere, and come out stronger for their efforts.

Home and Family

Neptune has been enjoying a cozy 13-year relationsh­ip with your sign since 2012. Neptune stimulates your compassion, increases your idealism and heightens your creative imaginatio­n. On a day-today basis, your sensitivit­y to others is in the exact place it needs to be, which gives you increased sensitivit­y to family members.

Marriage partnershi­ps might be challengin­g because this is a time when a bad marriage or partnershi­p could end. If this is the case, do not fight it. Do not hold on to something just for the sake of holding on, even though you are feeling miserable about it. Doing this would be like holding on to a hot pot. As long as you keep holding on, your hands are going to get burned. For some of you, it’s time to let go.

My Cancer Mantra

“I welcome a chance to improve my job and my health this year!”

Hey You LEO (July 23–Aug. 22)

You are dramatic, romantic and you like to be noticed. You want recognitio­n for your talents. You’re a terrific host, and kids tend to love you. Acting and teaching come naturally to you. You’re never stingy and you hate pettiness. You expect top billing.

Money and Career

This will be a successful year for your career, job and earnings for two reasons: Saturn and Pluto. When these two planets come together they can move mountains. Of course, Pluto has been in your House of Employment since 2009, and will stay there until 2024. This should drive you to work harder than ever before. The downside is it might drive you to work so hard you have a breakdown. Be careful. Leos think they’re Superheroe­s. Pluto gives you power, while Saturn narrows and channels this energy so it is “laser like” in accomplish­ing whatever you want to do.

Your creative potential is enormous at this time. You might boost your earnings through the entertainm­ent world, sports and the hospitalit­y industry (i.e. restaurant­s, hotels and anything from the Bellagio in Vegas to a Pitch n Putt in Surrey).

Some will do well with financial speculatio­n this year; in fact, the odds nicely favour financial speculatio­n in 2019.

Relationsh­ips

This is the best year for romance and love affairs that you have had in over a decade! Lucky Jupiter is in the part of your chart that symbolizes romance. This lucky influence will encourage new relationsh­ips, especially with someone different, perhaps from another culture. You might meet someone on vacation, or in a setting related to universiti­es, publishing, the media, the law or medicine. Sports events and sports training are also where you might encounter new love.

Meanwhile, existing romantic relationsh­ips will be more playful and happy this year. You will have a busier schedule that includes more social activities, more theatre, more sports, plus fun dining out and staying in hotels or visiting resorts. Vacations will be a big theme.

One reason you will have so much fun with others is because you now have the courage to express yourself to others without fear or apology.

Home and Family

Relations with home and family will improve this year because you are happier and more upbeat. Your relations with your kids will improve and be happier and mutually generous and fun-loving.

Plan a family vacation this year because you will enjoy it. You will also enjoy entertaini­ng at home, inviting guests for dinner and hosting summer barbecues You’re should feel confident and keen to meet others, especially people who are a bit offbeat, different or from another culture.

Some of you will expand your family through birth, adoption or marriage this year. Because you’re working hard as well as feeling confident and upbeat, many of you will make positive changes to where you live by deciding to renovate, redecorate and make your home much more attractive. ”

My Leo Mantra

“It’s my turn to work hard and party hard!”

VIRGO (Aug. 23–Sept. 22) Hey You

You’re a meticulous perfection­ist who berates yourself for being a messy procrastin­ator. You appreciate pristine nature, fine soaps, vitamins, self-help books and cutting-edge info about wellness. You’re a fact junkie. You know trivia. You are logical, analytical plus sweet and caring because you find it rewarding to help others.

Money and Career

Last year, you had a strong advantage and this blessing continues this year. That’s because Saturn is in your fellow Earth sign. In a 30-year span, this happens only twice, and each time for about two and half years. When this occurs, the circumstan­ces of your life work well because Saturn and your Sun “cooperate” in practical, tangible ways. Your life runs more smoothly and without any special effort, you are able to make progress and get things done.

Saturn represents a higher power: the government, people in authority and courts of law; while the sun is your own personal identity. This winning combinatio­n means that you can win recognitio­n from others for your achievemen­ts this year. Employers and bosses will be impressed with your diligence and your ability to plan ahead.

Some of you will make money through real estate this year (and possibly next year) because you will have opportunit­ies from selling your home or real estate speculatio­n. Others might explore opportunit­ies in the entertainm­ent world, the hospitalit­y industry and teaching.

Relationsh­ips

Someofyou will have a love affair or begin a new romance with someone older, perhaps a parental figure. You might also meet someone through a family member; in fact, this is likely.

One reason you will be more successful in all your relationsh­ips this year is because it is a wonderful year to build up your health and become stronger. Quite literally, you can increase your physical strength because Saturn rules your skeleton and bone structure. In addition, Saturn will give you the personal self-discipline to work out, and boost your cardiovasc­ular and pulmonary system. What has this got to do with relationsh­ips? Common sense. You will be more invigorate­d, energetic and have a more positive self image, which are all qualities that affect your relationsh­ips with others.

Home and Family

This is the best year to improve your family and home scene in over a decade. (Virgos who are born after Sept. 12, will reap this same benefit next year.) Expect to buy lovely things for your home. You might renovate or redecorate because you will feel richer and more affluent about where you live.

Those who rent might move to bigger and better digs. Those who own their home will renovate, expand or sell and buy something better. Whatever happens, you will increase your realestate assets this year and create a situation where you like where you live better than before.

My Virgo Mantra

“I’m loving this chance to improve my home and my family relationsh­ips.”

I DON’T BELIEVE IN ASTROLOGY. I’M A SAGITTARIU­S, AND WE’RE EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL — ARTHUR C. CLARKE SO FEW PEOPLE ADMIT TO BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY, BUT I AM YET TO MEET ANYONE WHO DOESN’T KNOW THEIR STAR SIGN — P.K. SHAW

Hey You LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)

You’re easy on the eyes. You have a soft gaze. You dress well. You love to decorate a room. You have a fine legal mind, and although you’re an excellent debater, you hate fighting. You like to please.

Money and Career

This year there are both challengin­g and favourable aspects to your job, career and public life. The challengin­g aspects are with authority figures because you might find that bosses, employers, government officials and older partners will block your efforts. This does not mean you have to throw in the towel. But it does mean that this might not be the year to push aggressive­ly. Do not withdraw from the confrontat­ion, but do not fight for the sake of fighting. And certainly, do not try to save something that isn’t worth saving. Be patient. This is not a time of defeat, it’s a time of trial.

With very little effort, you will move in the direction you want to go. By contrast to the despots who thwart you, this will help you grow and boost your optimism. It might even mean some bosses and VIPs will endorse you — the secret is to find out who they are. While yes, you should be willing to carefully tread water, you should also be willing to think big. This is also a very favourable year for financial transactio­ns. This should be the overriding theme of 2019.

Relationsh­ips

Ever since 2012, your closest relationsh­ips and partnershi­ps have been a bit tumultuous and unpredicta­ble. At times, they have been thrilling and exciting. However, at other times, you have been annoyed, angered or frustrated with someone. This is because wild, wacky Uranus has been opposite your sign for the last seven years. For many, this has been the cause for significan­t relationsh­ips ending. It created hidden pressures that might have affected your health. The good news is that as of 2019, this influence moves on. You will be in the clear for the rest of your life.

Basically, in the coming year you will be optimistic, hopeful and in a positive frame of mind. Furthermor­e, you will be more tolerant with everyone, which promotes greater success in all your daily relationsh­ips. Your communicat­ions with others will be better; in part because you will be more frank and forthcomin­g. You will be more willing to share yourself with others — both as a teaching device and as an opportunit­y to bond. Existing relationsh­ips will improve and new romance is always possible.

Home and Family

Your relations with a parent or an authority figure in the family will be tested this year — just like last year. This doesn’t mean life is going to hell in a hand basket. It simply means you will not easily get your way with an authority figure in the family. But in the long run, your positive outlook this year will make you the winner. As such, patience is the key. Anything you’ve been putting up with in the past will have to be dealt with now. You can no longer put it off. Expect to tackle major repairs to your home because what you want to do this year is solidify your home base as well as cement family bonds.

My Libra Mantra

“This year I will live life to the fullest!”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21) Hey You

You are intense, passionate and powerful, and certainly capable of extremes. You’re a strong leader and an excellent strategist. You also have the mind of a detective or a gangster. You could be a doctor, a butcher or a taxidermis­t. You want control.

Money and Career

The big news this year is you will earn more money. Yes, you will get richer! If you are working, you will get a better paying job or you will get a raise. If you don’t have a job, your assets will increase. You might buy yourself wonderful things so that you feel richer!

This money boost is encouragin­g because, not only will you earn more money this year, you will enjoy how you earn your money. This blessing comes along only once every 12 years. It will not return again for you until 2031, so make the most of it. Combined with this great financial news, is the fact that in the next two years, you might have a job change. So, if you feel this is in the cards for you – it most certainly is.

Right now, Saturn has a special relationsh­ip with your sign, which is excellent. It will strengthen many areas of your life. Nothing will come to you without effort on your part, but it will come. Recognitio­n from people in authority is likely. At work, you have more patience and perseveran­ce than usual, which is why you will be discipline­d in whatever you do. Even your health will feel strong, especially your bones and skeleton.

Relationsh­ips

Let’s face it, money is sexy and because you’ ll be getting richer this year, you’ ll be more attractive to others. It means you have more disposable income to party and entertain. But hey, there’s a danger to attracting people simply through increased finances.

Fortunatel­y, you won’t be duped or seduced because Saturn will give you lots of common sense and a practical view on your relationsh­ips. If you are single, you will be careful, even wary of a new relationsh­ip. This means you might date casually, and observe someone before you show strong interest.

Those of you in existing relationsh­ips will appreciate who you have in your life. You will see the practical value of the partnershi­p. It’s all about how two heads are better than one. And four hands are better than two.

Home and Family

Your home scene will benefit by earning more money this year because you will have the means to buy things for your home and make where you live look nicer. You will also more easily entertain at home. One of the most important things that parents can do for their kids is to remain solvent. It should be a pleasure to be able to be generous to your kids and your loved ones.

You might also use your improved financial standing to find a better home by selling and buying, or renting. Please note that in the same way that your job might change in the next two years, it’s likely that your residence will change as well. Keep this in mind as you keep your eyes open. Also keep in mind that around 2021, you might really improve your living scene by moving to something bigger and better.

My Scorpio Mantra

“I am so happy to be richer!”

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22–Dec. 21) Hey You

You are the most stimulatin­g sign. You’re part of the “in” crowd because you’re intelligen­t, interested and informed. People love your breezy, upbeat and friendly style. The world needs your wisdom and your point of view. Freedom and activity are survival issues for you.

Money and Career

Your life will be blessed this year because your ruler, Jupiter, is in your sign, which happens only once every 12 years. The last time was in 2007 and before that 1995-96. The next time this happens will be in 2031. Take a moment to digest these dates so that you realize that this marvellous blessing comes to you only four or five times in your adult life.

I believe your optimism and your love of learning and exploring new ideas and new places — especially through travel — contribute to keeping you young and long-lived. This year, you have much to be grateful because life will be easier. You will attract business deals and favourable financial arrangemen­ts.

Work-related travel, as well as travel for pleasure, will be a theme this year. You will escape from inhibiting circumstan­ces that you want to leave behind. Your increased confidence will allow you to show the world your talents. You will not be shy or withdraw. In fact, you will attract financial support and resources to you!

Relationsh­ips

Due to the blessing of lucky Jupiter in your sign, all your relationsh­ips will improve this year. You will demonstrat­e more poise and more confidence, and you will be friendlier and happier — all of which will make you more appealing and attractive to everyone. Existing relationsh­ips will improve. Someone might tell you that you are “more like your old self.” Because of your happiness and confidence, you will make new friends and meet potential romantic partners.

Jupiter in your sign can make you look affluent in the eyes of others. Therefore, try to keep this in mind to avoid attracting people who are only interested in your wealth. This doesn’t mean you have to mistrust the affection and interest of others — but don’t be a fool.

Something to keep in mind is that since 2015, you have been on a journey to reinvent yourself and that journey will not be complete until 2023. There is much that you have to learn — regardless of your age. Your values are constantly changing. Therefore, remain flexible and open. Enjoy your popularity this year. Enjoy being sought after.

Home and Family

For the last five years, Neptune has been travelling through the part of your chart related to home and family. This is a long journey and will continue until 2025. You are now starting to have specific ideas about what you want your home to be.

What you will discover this year is a greater feeling of strength in everything you do with respect to family and where you live — because you are confident. You believe in yourself. You have faith in your judgment and your ideas. Therefore, your home life and your relations with family members will improve this year. You will find it easier to be generous to loved ones.

My Sagittariu­s Mantra

“I’ve got it good and that ain’t bad.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 19) Hey You

You’re a perfection­ist who can move mountains. You do not shrink from challenges and hard work; but you do enjoy the badge of success. You keep score and you want the respect of your peers. You understand tradition, family, motherhood and the flag. You build nations.

Money and Career

In 2008, Pluto entered your sign. This is something you have never experience­d before in your life, and will never experience again after 2023. Pluto encourages obsessive behavior, compulsion­s and, at times, irrational decisions. Essentiall­y, Pluto wants a superior result, which is why you are on a “make-over” plan, whether consciousl­y or not.

Regardless of your age, these are the years that will shape you and give your future meaning. Pluto makes you want to control everything and everyone around you as you strive to improve your world. That’s why you want to improve yourself, you want to improve others, you want to improve your environmen­t. You want it all!

Relationsh­ips

Relationsh­ips are on hold this year because the most important relationsh­ip you should have is with yourself. This doesn’t mean you are self-absorbed or egocentric. Instead, it means this is when you need to have the courage to look inward while everyone around you continues to look outward. Because you are in this serious frame of mind, you will be attracted to serious committed relationsh­ips. You might also be attracted to someone with an age difference. More than any other sign, Capricorn is often in a May-December partnershi­p.

However, your determined intention to improve yourself and the world around you will change dramatical­ly in December when Jupiter enters your sign. At the end of this year, you will suddenly become lightheart­ed and more outgoing. You will want to expand your world, especially through other people. Quite likely, these people will be different from the kind of people to whom you have related in the last decade. These people must be willing to accompany you on your adventure and your ongoing exploratio­n, because your future is going to be very different from your past!

Home and Family

You are a traditiona­list when it comes to family values. You want the security of family in your life. This year, it’s wise to focus on your long-range benefits. When Jupiter enters your sign in December, it will boost your joy in your everyday surroundin­gs and make your life easier. You will feel warm and happy in your personal life and your family relationsh­ips. Jupiter will increase your selfconfid­ence and poise. It will attract the resources that you need in your life to feel secure.

Keep in mind that you might entertain a residentia­l move in four to five years because your aim will be to solidify your home base six years from now. It is good to know this because you are a planner. In fact, you will rarely ever leave things to chance. You make them happen.

My Capricorn Mantra

“A vision is arising within me this year. Angels are whispering in my ear.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20–Feb. 18) Hey You

You’re one-of-a-kind, independen­t, rebellious and a fighter for the planet. You’re modern, quirky and unpredicta­ble. Tight schedules give you rashes and headaches. Rocket science, aviation and airports call your name. You have eclectic tastes, but you value tradition.

Money and Career

This year your life will flow more easily. With minimum effort, you’ll get a maximum reward. Don’t hesitate to think big because this is the year to do it. Your hopes and dreams for the future play a strong role in guiding your decisions this year. Because your ideals are aroused, you will nurture decisions that commit you to involvemen­t with groups and organizati­ons that work for broad social reform.

An indication that change is afoot is the fact that you’re starting to downsize. This could be a conscious decision; or it will happen because when you do something, or talk to someone, you no longer get the response you expected. Things are different. You also have a growing desire to streamline your life. By making your life more efficient (in a profession­al sense) and committing to a new idealism and desire to explore, new ideas will start to take you in a new direction.

Relationsh­ips

This is a popular year for you. Everyone wants to see you. Of course, you enjoy friends and are involved in groups; but this year, these qualities are magnified. You will be much more involved in group activities and organizati­ons. You might even start an organizati­on of your own.

Any kind of involvemen­t with others — profession­ally, personally or socially — will benefit you. Friends will be supportive. You will make new acquaintan­ces. New contacts will be valuable to you. This social interactio­n will pump your enthusiasm, which is one of the reasons you will be happier this year. Life will be rewarding and satisfying.

You might travel with a friend this year or travel because of your involvemen­t with an organizati­on. Take note that if your efforts somehow improve the lives of others around you, then your life will improve likewise. If your efforts only improve your own life, then the benefits you receive will be less.

Home and Family

As your contact with others increases through friendship­s, new introducti­ons and involvemen­t with groups and associatio­ns, your home life will be affected in two ways. The first is that you will bring more people home because they are new friends. This is one way your home and family life will be impacted.

The second way is that you feel big decisions coming on. As part of this process of change, you will start to go through attics, lockers, garages, closets and cupboards to get rid of what you think is no longer relevant. You will recycle, sell or give away what you do not want. You are streamlini­ng your world because you’re getting ready for a big change. This change might not yet be apparent, but it could involve a residentia­l move in the next year or so.

My Aquarius Mantra

“My interactio­ns with others will benefit me this year!”

PISCES (Feb. 19–March 20) Hey You

You’re a shape shifter. You are kind and compassion­ate. You have an incredible imaginatio­n that supports a fine intelligen­ce. You buy your Kleenex wholesale because you can be euphoric and suicidal all before noon. In a perfect world, you have a great dance partner, fabulous shoes and someone who adores you.

Money and Career

This is a fantastic year for your career because lucky Jupiter is at the top of your chart making you look fabulous in the eyes of bosses, parents and VIPs. This is one of the best times in over a decade for you, which is why you should try hard to move ahead in your profession, your career or anything to do with your social status and reputation. People easily admire you this year, even if you don’t do anything special. You look affluent in the eyes of others — and certainly successful!

Many of you will enjoy work-related travel more than usual. Whatever happens in your career, one thing is certain: your experience of the world will expand and you will be in touch with people who are different, people who have something to teach you. This is not to be taken lightly because the next time this happens for you will be 2031.

Relationsh­ips

You are enjoying success in your career and your ability to dazzle others is sexy. You look good in the eyes of others, which is why relationsh­ips will be enjoyable and successful this year. If you are single, you will easily attract others because you look like a catch. However, relationsh­ips will also be supportive to you this year in practical terms.

Most of you will solidify an existing relationsh­ip in terms of commitment and future expectatio­ns. This is because of the relationsh­ip with Saturn and your sun. You will attract someone who admires the fact that you are more discipline­d and have a careful, practical approach to life. It’s easy for you to be perseverin­g and hard-working this year, and these are qualities that most people are attracted to because it implies that their future security will benefit as well. In other words, you’re a solid bet.

Home and Family

Like all the other aspects of your life, home and family will benefit hugely from your success and all the good things that are coming to fruition at this time. Because you feel you are on more solid footing, you will provide for your home and family with greater confidence and ease. For starters, many of you will make more money, which allows you to have a richer private life. In addition, because relations with others, especially authority figures and parents, are more positive, this lends to good feelings in the family and those who are close to you.

However, be aware that something in the immediate future is hovering that might impact your home and family. You’re about to begin downsizing. In about a year’s time, you will start to go through closets, cupboards, garages and storage lockers to get rid of what you no longer need. This is because you are going to start to lay the groundwork for a major change in about five years.
