Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Expect powerful activations of your overall mode of self-expression. You will be extra challenged to let go of outworn attitudes, perceptions and behaviour patterns. Your interpretation of security will be transformed. Exercising patience with your self, others and circumstances will be extra important, especially in the 1^st half of the year.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

The year will begin on an expansive note. You will want to go big and hard somehow. Yet others will request and/or circumstances demand that you be more temperate. Diversifying your focus and interests will become increasingly attractive and perhaps necessary. In the last quarter especially you will learn just how important it is to be more cooperative.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

Balancing out-reaching activities with connecting with your inner source of faith continues as the year begins. Achieving your highest ideals will become increasingly important; committed relationships are implied. By June you will feel more adventurous; increased travel and creative interests are likely. By late summer you will be ready to design your life anew!

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)

Increased responsibilities are on the rise. These will include taking leads and/or more time spent caring for others. Getting your own needs met as well will therefore prove extra important. Beware of controlling tendencies, especially in the first six months. Your power potential will rise in autumn. Yet, you may have to work double time to feel confident about it and worldly affairs.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)

Carefully steering your career path will remain important all winter and spring. Taking calculated risks, key initiatives and pioneering leads is extra important. Increasing your social network is likely. Yet you are probably wise to avoid long-term contracts to be ‘live on the stage’. Studio work will gain increasing appeal, especially by late summer.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Building and strengthening your overall foundation is a central theme this year. This will include reaching out more to access the skills, services and talents of others. Your career and/or public/social life stands to expand as a result, especially from late spring onward. Realizing dreams and ideals in your relationships will become a priority, yet you will have to remain strong on your own feet.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)

Measurable changes on the relationship and home fronts will continue this year. Yet, your financial situation could change for the better, especially during the first half of the year. But don’t spend frivolously; you will be glad you didn’t by the end of the year. Key investments especially will gain your attention or begin to in autumn. Meanwhile be extra deliberate with your health.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)

Changes in your lifestyle bringing changes of perception and vice versa will continue in 2012. At best, your social network stands to expand and with it new opportunities will present themselves. Continue to move forward and do not look back, lest you get caught in the past. Old ego patterns will continue to dissolve and autumn will offer a clean quick release into the future.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)

The call of new adventures is and will continue to call you out this year. Yet, establishing a more stable and efficient base is part of the plot. Any wishes to be free from previous lifestyle rhythms and patterns will be granted later in the year especially. This pace may seem slower than you like in the first half but the summer season will bring a significant acceleration and new relationships.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)

You will be pushing yourself rather hard this year. This is especially a good idea earlier on. The more you can create a healthy momentum, literally, the better. Returns for sincere previous efforts will come in but not until late in the year. Continue to work others towards achieving greater harmony and to know better how they can prove to be useful allies.

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)

The thirst for new information will increase for you in 2012. Your confidences will rise steadily as well and before summer’s end you will see the world with significantly new perspectives. Yet your responsibility levels will reach new peaks before the year is complete. Bringing more feeling, depth and passion to your work and lifestyle will characterize the year.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Making foundational changes linked to your talents, skills and other resources will characterize the year until late spring. Your ability to focus better will grow as the year progresses and your confidence levels will as well. Joining forces with others will become increasing necessary and ideal especially by late summer.
