All Together Now!
December/January 2007
‘you reap what you sow’, indicates that no effort to improve your lot in life will be wasted so whether its love, friends or material assets you require, think big and be bold. By way of support, several other planets favour your ability to attract and make money, which bodes well for your fortunes. One note of warning is that it would be easy to ignore your natural cash consciousness and go on a spending spree that lasts well into 2007.
ARIES (March 20 - April 19) Thanks to the stunning aspects from the major planets Jupiter and Pluto you can expect to attract more of what you want for yourself in life during December, as well as in the New Year, when there’s every chance you will be extremely confident of where you’re going and who will be by your side. It may also dawn on you that you have had some kind of dress rehearsal for a situation of a personal nature that is unfolding rapidly and, in the process, becoming more important by the day. Meanwhile, travel plans, distant horizons and people from far away places are bound to be interesting and significant topics of conversation.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 December 21)
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Developments during the holiday period should convince you that you are winning rather than losing in a key area of activity. Even so, don’t be in a hurry to make things happen because the circumstances that are ideal for you are unlikely to be on offer prior to mid January, when everything points to you having a smoother run generally. The emotional and financial strings will tend to be tied more closely together during 2007 but this should lead to a few smiles rather than tears.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) As Christmas approaches, there is a powerful planetary emphasis on both creating and severing ties and, if an association ends for any reason, it will almost certainly be final. Fortunately you will not have to wait long to fill the space, if this is your desire. In both emotional and business situations, you will also become aware of the various effects that partners and close associates have on your plans and expectations. Although you must allow for extra demands, pressure or a legal matter to think about as the year changes, things are on the move and you are well placed to gain a very welcome ally.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Sun favours marriage and close associations from December 22 to January 20 so if you are unattached be receptive to the idea of starting a new relationship during this phase. Deeper understandings and new goals are predicted for those who have a partner already with good news arriving in the early days of 2007. Meanwhile, work of the paid or unpaid variety, and the way you organise your time, come under planetary scrutiny. You may feel you’ve had enough of one particular responsibility. The truth is you are preparing for a far-reaching change.
LEO (July 23 - August 22) You appear to have written your own recipe for romantic bliss, which should serve you in good stead during December an auspicious month for matters of the heart! This is particularly relevant around the time of the supportive New Moon on the 20th, when it will be up to you to set the pace and mood. The new year is full of bright promise because it is the one year in every four when Jupiter gives you a special chance to prosper. However, the presence

What the Festive stars have in store for you of Saturn, the taskmaster of the planets, in your birthsign until next autumn, denotes that you will be reminded of anything you owe in terms of money, duty or favours.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22) If home is where your heart is expect to be well pleased with the possibilities and options waiting to be explored. In particular, you are due to benefit from a domestic reorganisation or new set up on the home front. The main thing is not to argue with your intuition if it tells you that a change is needed or that it would be beneficial to keep a foot in two separate camps. Your fortunes receive a boost in January when your romantic and creative interests are to the fore.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) If you receive an invitation that takes you way back down memory lane, seize it! It is likely to start a new episode of your life. Once the Full Moon on January 3rd has been and gone, you can expect a steady improvement in your fortunes. Then you may find that a relative or close friend confides in you and makes you aware of something you need to know. But it will be news arriving around the 19th that provides you with the greatest incentive to make a definite commitment for the future.
SCORPIO (October 23rd November 21st) Saturn, associated with the law that states
It seems you can hardly make a wrong move because a magnificent array of planets provide you with a winning hand. Take advantage to spread your wings and find a way out of, or another way to deal with, any frustrating corner of your world. The tide of good fortune has turned in your favour bringing good opportunities and worthwhile people onto the scene, and you will soon realise that you have started to gain a new perspective in just about every area of your life.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19) For the first part of December the emphasis is on tying up loose ends and clearing the decks of any unfinished business that could cramp your style in January. It is also important to decide on what it is you really want, and what you are prepared to give or sacrifice in order to obtain it because the Sun’s arrival in your birth sign just before Christmas denotes that you come into your own over the holiday period. If you approach others in a positive manner you should be delighted with the results.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18) Jupiter, the bearer of good fortune and success, is part of a group of planets at the angle of your chart governing your hopes and wishes. What you wish for is up to you but it looks as if someone else holds the power to wave the magic wand and give you whatever it is you want. Luckily, requests and ideas that might have been ignored or rejected in the past should now bring the right sort of returns. Indeed, the arrival of friendly Venus in your birth sign on January 4 will serve to boost your powers of attraction and make you aware that not everything has to be earned the hard way!
PISCES (February 19 - March 19) The latest position of Jupiter, one of your planetary rulers, has powerful implications because your fortunes tend to fluctuate according to its position in the zodiac. During the next cycle of experience it dominates the success angle of your chart, promising a series of improvements. As you receive evidence of what is in store, you may wonder why you worried so much about a situation you would like to have changed last summer, if not earlier. It all goes to prove that nothing can happen until the time is right. It remains for you to make full use of what is on offer over Christmas and the New Year because you will be laying the foundations for a long time to come.
