Horoscope – January 2 – 8, 2015

Tip of the Week:

Happy New Year!  2015 is a Universal 8 year and will prove very eventful and challenging and at a mass collective level.  8 is the power number symbolic of the culmination of the 9 year growth cycle. It can be compared with the harvest which implies abundance, on one hand, and hard work on the other. Number 8 is also a strong indicator of change and even transformation. All the signs are there, footings in place and the momentum is steady and strong.  In terms of intensity, it can be likened to the playoffs or to end-of-the-year-exams. In this respect, an 8 year is also about returns on actions and efforts made in the past 7 years in particular. In this respect it may be accurately understood as a number of karmic returns. The returns may be very positive or very negative or something of a mix anywhere in between. February and November should prove especially eventful in terms of major new initiatives that come to mass attention, May will reveal a significant turning point where the plot noticeably thickens and key players leave the stage. July will reveal the ending of old alliances and the beginnings of new ones.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

In 2015 you will embark upon new adventures. These will be marked by a mix of enthusiastic moves and a more serious approach to education. This will become especially evident by late summer. Take a pro-active approach to have a say in the outcome of that process. Deep changes in you over the past few years will now direct you to a dynamic new learning curve. For the most part, 2015 stands to be a time of inspirations and aspirations to balance a more serious approach to the acquisition of knowledge with a creative and playful orientation.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

AAs 2015 gets underway there is reason to say that your confidence levels remain high. You will need all the healthy self-esteem you can muster as new developments, subject to a process of deep change, even what will in the course of time amount to nothing short of a metamorphosis, comes into effect. This will become increasingly evident over the first few months of 2015. You do have a say in this process and the change can be directed to occur at all levels – physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Expect it and work with it. Expect new alliances and coalitions to come to the fore before 2016 begins.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

A prolonged cycle of mixed extremes in 2014 brings you to the advent of hopeful aspirations for 2015. At best, new creative inspirations are stirring and these are awakening latent creative gifts and leading you to important new relationships and professional involvements. You will experience challenges to better know yourself, understand people and be up to date with larger trends and events affecting the world. Be aware to direct your energies to a variety of creative fronts but avoid scattering your focus. 2015 will be a year of renewed vigour and deepened commitments.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

In 2015 you will be focused to make some key investments. How to invest and where to best direct your time, energy and resources will prove important especially earlier in the year, and with extra emphasis yet between June and September. Philosophical and spiritual interests and curiosities may also guide your focus to unprecedented degrees. Although 2015 may not prove altogether peaceful as circumstances provoke heated emotions, it does stand to be a year which both widens and deepens your overall levels of knowledge and understanding.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

In 2015 it remains important that you continue to build for the future. This includes identifying what constitutes your greatest assets and aspirations for self-actualization. The key for the first half of the year is to initiate those projects and modes of self-expression that you feel moved and inspired to share. With these in place you can allow for a steady process of development for the coming few years. As well, this state or preparedness will support you to take yet another plunge into the deeper reaches of your subconscious to lay claim to creative gifts and treasures that await you.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The time has come for you to retrieve some of your hidden reserves that have been waiting this time in your life. Your success may depend upon just how clear you are about your direction. This is a call to turn within. Even if you are clear about your worldly ambitions, this time represents an invitation and a golden opportunity to activate a stronger link between your conscious and subconscious, your personality and your soul. All outer reaches will ideally be complimented by your own inner connection. Do this now and by mid-summer you will have treasures to enjoy and to share with the world.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

The past few years may well have been a time of ‘paying your dues’. Now the tide is turning and you will feel inspired to increase you overall scope of knowledge, to get more educated and in a variety of areas. It is quite important that you get going early in the year to establish a momentum. This will weave into an increase of your overall mode of self-expression which includes sharing your beauty, whatever form it may take. By spring you will feel even more moved to exercise a quality of grace, harmony and diplomacy in the light that it is more advantageous in many ways to express positivity, and to make friends.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

2015 stands to be an expansive time especially in your public and professional sphere. An increase in your urge to be more creative and imaginative will persist as well for much of the year. You will become increasingly interested to increase you awareness and overall scope of knowledge. Much continues to gestate especially in terms of who and what you love and desire and why. You will choose your associations more deliberately and with more forethought this year than you have perhaps for some time. By the end of 2015 you will have cultivated interests and friendships that support your ‘work’ with serious interests to nurture new appreciations of creative genius.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

With Saturn now in your sign you will undergo a powerful process initiating a new phase of growth in 2015. It will require patience and commitment to reconsider what constitutes security. Summer 2015 could prove rather trying if you are not stable and focused upon clearly defined objectives, so begin that process now. However, if these over-emphasize the material side at the expense of the spiritual, the imbalance could well produce confusion and fragmentation. Focus to strike a balance based on the realization that you are a spiritual being having human experiences.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

You have come to an important turning point and it is time to activate a series of new commitments. This may well imply the completion of long standing involvements and/or these will have to undergo measurable changes. Improvements in your health and lifestyle in general are featured. On one hand this implies breaking free of limiting perspectives and destructive lifestyle habits and on the other engaging in some kind of apprenticeship and/or educational learning curve. Sometimes, this can come about simply by hands-on experiences. But the status quo of your life is changing. This will affect your public and/or professional life and will invariably affect your home and family life as well. This is a call to re-negotiate terms and to be inventive.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

You have been undergoing a deep purification process at subconscious levels and this will continue. At best, this is leading you to stabilize your focus upon your own heart center and higher mind, to gain solace in the spiritual aspect of your life. A core theme here is to accept and trust in the ‘law of change’. The ‘Serenity Prayer’ serves to illustrate this point. This will prove true in 2015 and perhaps especially during the last quarter of the year. Meanwhile, returns for previous efforts will begin to roll-in. This will be accompanied by a steadily expanding social sphere of involvement.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Expect your overall focus to shift in 2015. Generating more confidence in your co-creative abilities will become even more important throughout the year. This includes an appreciation of the co-creative process which implies your deliberate will to participate, balanced by receptivity to higher powers and larger realities. Consolidating everything you have done, accomplished and achieved up to now in your life is especially wise and will prove invaluable from the latter half of the year on especially.  So, focus to clear debts, tie-up loose ends, get your papers and affairs in order and get clear on your creative focus wherein all the preparations and ground work are well established.
