Starcast

Mischievous Mercury joins mighty Jupiter and the sun in partnership-oriented Libra. With three power planets crowding into this gentle and highly romantic sign, it’s a given that one-onone relationships will take priority. Aries (March 19-April 18) You’ve strong feelings about an issue, so does a partner. This may be more personal than professional — but that doesn’t make it any less stressful. Use sun energy and Mercury moxie to resolve a challenging issue once and for all. Taurus (April 19-May 19) Think about expanding your inner world. With Jupiter sitting in your work house, the next three months look strangely fated, something like just a job morphing into a full-fledged career. Gemini (May 20-June 19) Must you lose someone to truly appreciate that person? The universe sent mixed messages this year. Some Rams started one-onones, others expanded existing relationships. Put this into perspective as 2016 draws to an end. Cancer (June 20-July 21) Jupiter, the sun and Mercury do a fertility dance ’round your root cellar. Call it Anthropology 101. Private pick and shovel work can uncover secret skills that bring 2016 together big time. Leo (July 22-Aug. 21) You Lions have true star power and know it. Jupiter, Mercury and the sun, (hotties from heaven) add an extra zap to personal communications. With Jupiter protecting your back, you’re a lean mean fighting machine. Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 21) As the recent birthday buzz fades, that first year of the rest of your life reality kicks in. Currently, three power planets stand like snow sculpture in your money house. Mercury looks like the Statue of Liberty. What better gift than independence? Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 21) As birthday guests gather, a moment of truth sets in. Sitting at your party table are magical Mercury, jovial Jupiter and the scintillating sun. Make a wish, check it twice, then send it out into the universe. Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 20) The ghosts of Scorpio Past are restless natives. Could it be otherwise with Jupiter, Mercury and the sun stirring up dust in your mystery house? Confront those suckers, then move on to better things. Sagittarius (Nov. 21-Dec. 20) Jupiter, Mercury and the sun are the old boy network from heaven. Their message is clear. It’s not so much what you know, but who. Click on your address book. A Libra may be just the person you need to pull the year together. Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) The sun (charisma) and Mercury (smarts) are a potent career force as the year draws to a close. Jupiter’s benevolence where issues of public standing are concerned is frosting on the cosmic cake. Pluto in your sign suggests dramatic changes. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 17) Fly the ocean in a silver plane, see the jungle when it’s wet with rain. Faraway places with strange-sounding names are a current obsession. If you can’t go far, at least go fun. You are the master of your fate, you are the captain of your soul. Pisces (Feb. 18-March 18) Shared resources are highlighted as the year winds down. Here are two possible scenarios: (1) you gain directly from a bonus or inheritance, (2) you benefit through a romantic interest.
