If last year brought question marks or burdensome passages, this year will point you in the direction of answers, confirmation, and opportunity. There is no reason to dwell on minus columns; there are much better things to think about! Jupiter has left the dark corner of Scorpio's subterranean purging process to begin a one-year tour through the buoyant, high-flight sign of Sagittarius. Feel free to fuel up on hope, faith, and all that jazz.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

You'll travel more in 2007, whether you do so by plane, pages, social scene, or computer screen. Jupiter's one-year tour through Sagittarius will bless your life with plenty of opportunity to grab spotlight attention (and bigger bucks too!) Your productions are likely to create an industry buzz! Whether you seek professional accolades, or to reap more reward in the love department, make your statement bold and splashy, and aim to wow your audience with an unforgettable, as only-you-know-how, show. Self-confidence is the sure-fire breeding ground of rewards yet to come. Take it to the max while your free-flowing creativity is in such ample supply; your ambitions work like magic! A supped-up fitness drive will easily put you into the bankable winner's circle too! Re career, educational opportunities, or taking your next shot at true love, go to where the fires burn brightest (travel, relocate). Start of the year is your best time to mobilize; to buy or sell; avoid Mercury retrograde mid February to mid March; aim for another new start/growth spurt mid May, reassess and tweak as necessary in the fall.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Jupiter and Pluto will revamp your most important relationships - to money, to yourself, and to the people who make your world spin (intimate, healing, material. and professional.) Ambition looks good on you right from the start of the year, so pound the pavement in search of better pay or a better place to hang your hat; launch a business, expand your financial portfolio/assets, or take your intimate relationship to that important next level (leave it behind or enlarge the scope.) In terms of resetting the dials, the first six months of 2007 can be your most productive. Mars in Taurus sets you on fire, late June through the beginning of August and brings a time of vibrant fresh starts. (Start your get fit program now and you'll look super in bathing suit season.) Mid June to mid August are the best times to tread carefully, take a back seat, stop/vacation, or wait and see.

GEMINI (MAY 21 ~ JUN 20)

2007 puts the spotlight on people and partnerships. Some relationships will fall by the wayside; some will become much more prominent. Those that enter your life will contribute amply; watch for teachers, and blessings to come in all shapes and sizes. January's social stars are quite lively; don't plan to sit still! Watch Jan. 20-22 to put you on the fast track, re professional, financial or relationship matters. A sudden switching of gears could be the start of it all. This same planetary configuration reoccurs mid Oct.; a key project, goal, or relationship could dominate your attention for most of the year. Now to birthday month, be ready to roll up your sleeves and to take full advantage of the building trends. (Use it or loose it!) By June/July your career and personal life should hum along quite nicely. Expand as much as you can in this first six months so you'll have enough to work with when batten-down-the-hatches Saturn begins its two-year strip-down tour in the fall. (Housing prices are likely to be highest in the first half of the year.)

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

No matter how daunting it seems or how fast you have to scramble, start of the year is the best time to throw yourself into the thick of your get ahead program. You'll adjust as easily as a duck takes to water (esp. Jan. 5-8). Re work or school, choose a specialty, or let it pick you, its likely to be a cash cow. Keep yourself well educated at every level, don't scrimp on research! Fence-sitting is an extravagance you can't afford. An absolute commitment to yourself and to excellence is the minimum requirement. Pay your membership dues; spend extra to get the best quality equipment, education, advice, or health care. Sculpt your body, train your mind, harness your creativity, and replenish your soul (in other words, don't slack off). February can bring a give-up-to-get cycle (simplify as much as possible, getaway if you can.) Pedal to the metal, both March eclipses (3 & 19) are sure to stir up the pot. January to June, take what comes your way, and make it work for you. September onward, Saturn in Virgo will bring the need to factor more/add to the program.

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22)

You are likely to feel the blessing of Jupiter's pendulum swing the most of any sign as 2007 rolls out a red carpet just for you. Mars is also in your great favor through Jan. 16, so it appears you can cash-in on the stellar “honeymoon” for a few more weeks. An exceptional year for fame, fortune and love sublime is just starting to cook. Put yourself in front of a crowd and show us what legends are made of! Artistic, creative and athletic activities can put you on the map. It couldn't be a better year to liberate yourself; ditch the day job in favor of following your dreams/going independent/entrepreneurship. A family expansion could bring absolute joy. Children born this year are truly blessings and truly blessed. (Have them or adopt them.) On the other end, children could be ready to leave home (or cost you a bundle in tuition fees!) More travel, fun and romance is top of your to-do list. Explore more, play more, and open as many doors as you can through August. September through December, it will be time to roll up your sleeves and to call it “work” again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

January is a good time to put your house on the market, or to take whatever other big steps you need to take. Use the highly charged new moon, Jan. 18/19, to settle on a course of action, to sign a contract, and/or to build an even stronger momentum. Instant result, gain, or profit is quite possible. It's important to maintain good health and work habits, especially during Mercury's retrograde cycle, mid February to mid March (and mid June to mid July.) People, places, work and/or health strategies continue to change before your eyes; make sure you keep yourself upgraded too. Off and on, Uranus can shake up your relationship routines and/or keep you guessing. As it does, new personal capacities and benefits will emerge. Alternative medicine, a new job, or self employment could be just ticket. (An office crush could turn into more!) Book holidays in late June/early July. Personal interest/part time courses can be a great way to meet like minded souls; you could discover a new passion or a new love. If you didn't create change for yourself earlier in the year (and even if you did!), Saturn's progress into Virgo in September could provide the incentive, or force you to address that which you have avoided.

LIBRA (Sept.23 - Oct.22)

Feel you have more to say or more to deliver? You'll have no problem getting your message across; 2007 brings the ideal time to gain more exposure. Ship out your resume, press kit, or information package; put more money into advertising, take more road trips. Stand in front of a classroom, boardroom, or audience and light them on fire! When it comes to your career opportunities, business and pleasure mix very well. A simple conversation or inquiry could lead to so much more. What you know is as important as who you know. Friends, agents and advisors will do as much as they can to help you along. Whether you sign up for dance lessons or jog from client to client, you'll naturally find yourself more physically active throughout the year (don't worry about what the scale says.) Your entertainment and travel expenses could go up, but scrimping isn't written in your stars! You could take to a new hobby or new social life with great zeal. Sign on with an agent, team, or troupe. Re health, work, or coping with your full to the brim daily grind, know there's always a new angle to play/a way to keep it fresh. Don't hesitate to experiment or head off in a new direction. A new industry could be the perfect calling card for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Although the stellar spotlight has moved on, your stellar trends will continue through 2007! While you can ride on your past successes, it's not natural (or smart) for you to rest on your laurels. You have only skimmed the surface; there so much more that you can express and accomplish, and so much more to gain! Keep pumping it out while your fuel supply is so abundant; aim to surpass your personal bests, and keep your hungry fans intrigued to see what's next. Your reputation/career/fame is being solidified now and along with it, a new lifestyle is emerging. Jupiter's transit through Sagittarius suggests it can be time to up your prices or to negotiate a raise. You can easily earn more/amass more in this coming year, although know that you'll spend plenty more too! (Travel, promotional ventures and long distance calls can add up!) To be sure, your assets are on the (high) rise. There's nothing you can't do, be, or have; all you have to do is to want it enough to go after it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22 - Dec. 21)

You are truly on fire now! Mars will continue to stoke you (or provoke you!) through the middle of the month, and there appears no end in sight! In fact, you are just getting your re-charger plugged back in. Jupiter's return to Sagittarius (it's “homerun” sign) sets you up with a fresh new game-board. Set yourself free, strike out on your own. What-ever you do, where-ever you aim, live it large, take it to the max, and/or stretch it for all it's worth. You haven't seen this kind of stellar catalyst in twelve years! Keep your howdy-do charm on the ever-ready dial and get your passport renewed! Travel or relocation is sure to provide glorious adventure. Ready for a new look? Update your style with a bold, even defiant, statement. While Jupiter transits are notorious for tipping the scales, hopefully your newly stirred passion and restless get-up-and-get-go will help you to gain muscle, not mass! Keep as open ended as possible. Plans, ambitions, or family arrangements can change in a flash. The third week of January could deliver the unexpected/put you on the sudden hunt or move (mid May and start of October could get you going too). Saturn's tour through Leo (to September) delivers good luck, good timing, and ample stellar grace. Fortune smiles brightly on you in 2007.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

Your private life gains more attention from planet Jupiter in 2007. You'll crave more “away” time, to rest and heal, to conjure, and to research a wider range of options. Previously cherished goals may not hold the same luster, or at least you find the need examine them from a different angle, primarily because new bottom-line needs and desires are rapidly gaining ground. Relinquish relationships (and/or circumstances) that don't fit into the evolving equation. You need not fear taking a risk, there's so much more waiting out there for you! Socially, or financially, know that just when you are ready to give up or pull back completely, a new prospect or offer could ignite you all over again. January's stars are sure to provide plenty of inspiration along with financial, academic, or social opportunity. Watch for something new, (perhaps out-of-the-blue) to set you in motion, especially once Mars moves into Capricorn, Jan 17 (through end of February.) Catch the rising wave when you see it energizing (January, May.) Creativity, ingenuity and synchronistic timing help you to connect the dots quite beautifully throughout the year. Saturn's progress into Virgo (Sept. 2006 through Oct. 2009) launches a harvest and fruition cycle, make sure to plant the right seeds now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

After the pressure of several big transition years, you are let off the stellar hook in 2007. Jupiter's advance through easy-rolling Sagittarius can renew your faith – in yourself and in a brighter future. Commissions and self-employment earnings can be easily increased. If you are on salary, don't hesitate to put in for a raise, or to jump ship when a better offer comes along (January, March, May/June, October.) Opportunities (financial, educational, and social) can simply fall in your lap. Start of the year is also a good time to cash in on real estate or other investment potentials. Note that February's Mercury retrograde cycle can make contracts or relationships fall apart. June brings another end of the road threshold/pinnacle point, but this time it's probably one that you have scheduled. A relationship or contract could be cemented or dissolved. Take a more active interest in politics or social welfare. You could be asked to step into a leadership, teaching, or mentoring role; perhaps you'll serve on the board of your union or some other group. The contributions you make in this coming year are especially significant. To the special people in your life, or in a broader context, you can make a difference – and you should!

PISCES (Feb. 19 - March 20)

Another exciting year is about to get underway, one that could send your career skyrocketing, yet again! Jupiter's entrance into Pisces can place you before the public in some higher profile way. You could take on a more authoritative position in your professional activities, find yourself more deeply involved with family, or become more prominent within your social milieu. You expect a lot out of life now, and life expects just as much out of you – especially when you play the role of single parent (or parent to a parent) performer, leader, owner/operator, or executive. Over the past few years, a new lifestyle/new personal identity has been emerging. By the time you make it through this lengthy restructuring, you may hardly recognize yourself any longer! Lucrative opportunity beckons just past the new moon in January. You could travel, exhibit/compete, or take some other significant leap forward. Any break in the routine will offer a breath of fresh air, especially January, May and October. Know there's very little that can inhibit you or prevent you from reaching that important goal (esp. around April 10.) Saturn in Leo will reward you for your diligence; you'll witness visibly up-scaled results through the year's many highpoints.
