2006 Annual Horoscope
ARIES Now that we are at the beginning of ’06 you will find that life’s pace is finally accelerating. Concentrate on self, finances, and communication in the first quarter. The eclipse at the end of March brings demand for adjustments. Channel energies toward home, property, and family in April through mid-July. Correct whatever must be fixed in these areas from mid-July through early September. Then shift attention to significant relationships and partnerships through the end of the year.
TAURUS The first quarter will be slow and lazy. You require this processing time to assess your relationship needs and decide what will improve your partnership situation. Look first at yourself before you demand changes from others. You must give attention to aging property and/or family members throughout the year. Reduce possessions to a minimum. Debt is a challenge and you feel it important to reduce it as quickly as possible. Your primary relationship is a bright spot through the third quarter.
GEMINI January 13 — 17 are especially good days for travel and romance. In February career/life direction take center stage. As Mercury retrogrades in a challenging position between February 18 and April 8, you will probably tackle a significant mental project. Communications and personal study take on a serious quality all year. It is important to reorganize your daily life in order to include more proactive healthcare and exercise. See the web for dates favoring travel and romance.
CANCER Moon Children are noticeably influenced by the full moons each month, and particularly react emotionally to the eclipse seasons. During ’06 the eclipse seasons occur during the months of March and September. The days near March 14 and September 7 are focal. From the second quarter, attention will be required in the areas of the law, travel, dealings with those at a distance, publication, education and ethical considerations. Love life, children and creative works are the brightest spots in your picture.
LEO Saturn entered your sign mid-summer ’05 and shifted your attention to the project of new self-definition. You have a need to grow in a way that offers a challenge and feels significant. You probably want to take on a more mature and professional appearance. Many will be going to school. Whatever the structure that you’ve adopted, it will probably require most of ’06 and ’07 to complete, so be patient with yourself. Don’t attempt to shortcut the process. Meaningful changes cannot happen overnight.
VIRGO The hard-working Virgo has taken a sideways step and has moved out of the loop on the business ladder. Look to ’08 for a brand new beginning and in the meantime ponder just how you want your next life approach to look. Let whatever is outmoded go gracefully now. The full moon eclipse in mid-March generates crises in relationships that must be tended without delay. It becomes important to define how to be a best friend to both yourself and your partner. This is the challenge of ’06.
LIBRA As 2006 begins, it may appear to you as though you are sliding backward in the areas of career and/or life direction. You will be focused on the subject of relationships and evaluation of what is most important to you. Many must choose between security and romance. Give special attention to a “teacher” who enters your life early in May in the form of a “partner”, business or personal. The financial picture should be improving throughout the year. Beware of the tendency to overspend through the third quarter.
SCORPIO 2005 was a major challenge for you in the departments of career, finances and relationships. If your primary partnership has made it through, you have done really good work together. Clean up the debris in these areas by mid-summer and you are home free. Any misuse of status or power in the first three quarters will have fairly immediate karma. Jupiter in your sign increases your magnetism. Ask for what you want. Use your power wisely near: July 14, August 8, October 11- 15, November 8, December 4, December 11.
SAGITTARIUS The Archers are concerned with issues of corporate and political security during the first two quarters of the year. Those wielding the greatest economic power have major concerns. Conservatism is generally your best direction. Even if you have made your decisions in line with the highest of ethical standards, you will be challenged, but will not likely lose your footing. Those who have not maintained integrity have more likelihood of dealing with difficult outcomes of others’ inquiries.
CAPRICORN The Goats will experience a challenging year, but it won’t be as difficult as some of those in the recent past. You continue to work your way through issues of debt and fewer available resources than you had a decade ago. Perhaps you are concentrating on saving money for the future. All this discipline could cause you to miss the big picture: you are actually gaining in status and influence, even though your billfold may be emptier. You feel the need to remain aligned with your spirit in a deeper way.
AQUARIUS Much of your attention and life focus is directed to your partner or spouse this year. He/she has been experiencing a hard time of life, especially since the summer of ’05. If the relationship is not a strong one, it is possible that you will decide to put both of you out of your misery by the end of the third quarter. June brings a time of special effort in this arena. Those with a bond capable of withstanding trials will grow ever more firm in commitment and loyalty as the year progresses.
PISCES The Fish may feel unclear and confused about legal, educational, publishing, or ethical matters throughout this year. Do the best you can to document your process and find experts who may be of assistance. Most of you are channeling significant energy into generating healthier mind/body habits with diet and exercise. Discipline is demanded and will exact a price in poor health or business troubles by the end of the third quarter if you do not take heed. The normally dependent Piscean is learning to be totally self-reliant and strong.
