SCORPIO | Oct 23 – Nov 21
Scorpio barrels into the New
Year as Mars, planet of
action, blazes through
your sign January 3–
March 5. Mars activates the warrior energy within, making you a champion of important
causes…or just on a rampage if you’re not
thoughtful in getting points across. What objective are you trying to achieve? January is the
month of peak activity, but also when communication is most challenged. Scorpio needs to get
clever with its messaging. Meet with The PR
Boutique for help with your brand, image and
communication strategies.
SAGITTARIUS |
Nov 22 – Dec 21
Sagittarius has been getting
serious about love, career and
money since Saturn – the herald
of maturity – entered your sign
last year. In the first quarter of
2015, however, Sagittarius may renegotiate
some of its responsibilities. January through late
spring, you take a step back in business dealings
to hone in on the practical details really required
to achieve success and transform your financial
position. January 10 and February 22 are the
most important days in money and business,
respectively. March signals a turning point in the
home or family situation and romance or personal
commitments change when Saturn begins its retrograde cycle in your sign March 23 through summer. As a fire sign, Sagittarius should consider
attending the March 12th Fire & Flood concert
presented by Vance Joy and Elle King.
CAPRICORN |
Dec 22 – Jan 19
Capricorn begins 2016
with a review of the
changes it underwent last
year as Mercury, the thinking planet, goes retrograde
or backwards in your sign
January 5–25. What do you need to make
peace with so that you can cleanly move forward? Stop by the Jung Center in hip
Montrose to explore a bevy of books and pro-
grams from the world’s foremost psychologists,
educators and spiritual leaders to gain healthy
perspective on life. The January 10th New Moon
signals renewal and re-grounding. By March,
Capricorn’s intuition will reveal ideas for next
steps in career which brings confidence to the
leadership sign of the zodiac.
AQUARIUS |
Jan 20 – Feb 18
Leveraging
talents
and
resources for income is
Aquarius’ springtime focus. What
are you worth? Intimate entanglements with lovers or business partners
which were left unresolved from last
year (beginning August 2015 to present) may require attention when Jupiter goes retrograde in January. Aquarius’ ambition reaches
new heights with the February 22nd New Moon,
and ambition is rewarded when Venus and a
Solar Eclipse impact the financial house in
March. Laugh about the follies of romance
February 3rd–6th at Houston Theater Lab’s
52 Pickup, a comedy play about the reality of
falling in love, making commitments and even
perhaps calling it quits.
PISCES |
Feb 19 – Mar 20
Balance between living
in alignment with your
authentic self while still
functioning with others
is Pisces’ springtime lesson. Expectations between you and
your partner are up for discussion in January–
February, and if you made a commitment in
August 2015 through present, it is possible you
may wish to withdraw or adjust that promise. If
you are single, this is a time for introspection
rather than dating. The March 23rd Solar Eclipse
signals a turning point in how you feel about your
own life path, and therefore where and how
another person might fit. Destiny is a path we create; what will you choose? Visit the metaphysical
mecca, Body Mind & Soul, to meet with
experts in the spiritual and holistic fields. Their
store has eclectic gifts and books from thoughtleaders around the world who represent almost
every point of view–find yours there.
