We start 2014 with bright economic skies, especially in North America. After a January/February hiccup, the world economy charges ahead — to July. New businesses or major projects begun then will succeed. From August to December, though, we’ll be running on fumes: hypnotizing fumes. Investors leave; gamblers enter. Gold appeals. Businesses started in these last five months will fail. Real estate continues to be lucky.
The fight between hierarchies and the masses revives, with hierarchies winning. Harper’s misfortunes continue to late February, then stop. Obama’s unlucky, unpopular to August, then he enters a great year, with swelling polls.
To July, 2014 isn’t really an artistic year. We’re all thinking about home, Mom, kids and patriotism rather than culture. But from August onward, new “culture circuses” come — big, glamorous affairs. Leo actors rise. Fashion goes bold. Games sell big.
The technology juggernaut rolls on, especially in political, military and covert zones. New techno-wars erupt around April and December. Hospitals and bureaucracies continue to swell, and advances pour forth in optics, astrophysics, oceanography — all to 2025.
Some notable marriages and divorces will occur, January to July. (And the first domestic argument for Will and Kate. If they come through it — truly, not artificially — smiling, their marriage has a good chance.) These seven months contain excitement in all relationships. Even armies grow restive. Nations whose names begin with A, R, P or L (and possibly M, O, S, H or Y) might engage in actual war — small skirmishes. China will assert itself angrily in military ways, and lose some face.
All of us should avoid starting new projects or relationships Feb. 6 to 28, June 7 to July 1, and Oct. 4 to 25.
ARIES March 21-April 19
ARIES,March through mid-July is a superb time to buy or sell real estate, to set your children on a good, happy course for life, to renovate or landscape, to give birth or become pregnant. You’ll have to adjust to another’s ways, power and personality. Be patient: even one who acts like an enemy, wants a partner. If you met or meet a new lover or potential business partner last December, or April 21 to June 14 this year, the relationship will be rocky. Otherwise, love wins.
If uncertain, wait. August onward brings the best romantic opportunities in a decade. Love flares in August (watch practical difficulties) October and December. It could develop into blissful marriage. If you’re married, 2014’s second half offers adventure, love, humour and family joys. It’s a splendid creative time. You’ll win in sports and games. Express yourself, try something new!
Your career continues to evolve. Be flexible, embrace change — or get run over by the zeitgeist of the times.
All year, you will benefit from engaging others. Lone wolves court failure.
Avoid legal hassles September/October.
TAURUS April 20-May 20
TAURUS, January to July continues the brisk work pace of late 2013. Your job isn’t exactly the one you want; it holds you back from brighter, wider horizons. Still, you’re needed, and you need money. Expect a whirl of paperwork, travel and communications. A friend might become a physical lover. Until July, protect your health from acidic food, cold-hot alternations, head bumps, diabetic-inducing habits — and fights.
From August 2014 to mid-2015, life will open lucky doors in food and shelter areas: real estate, family, children, retirement, gardening, agriculture, etc. Pregnancy is possible. But wait until January 2015 onward to buy property or grab a super rental — it will bless your life.
Seek advice in January/February. These two months offer good luck and easy progress in legal, educational, cultural, far travel, international, and love zones. From March onward, lighten your links to institutions, government, administration, management roles. Be “hands-on,” do your work yourself. Love thrills in January/February, and fills you with hope March/April. August lights a fire — love, or war? November speaks of marriage.
By the end of 2014, you’ll be very satisfied!
GEMINI May 21-June 20
GEMINI, the first half of 2014 continues your good fortune in earnings, possessions and surface interactions. Your memory remains unusually strong. Invest in January. Seek more income March to July — chase clients, ask for a pay raise, sell items, etc. You could climb onto an elevated earnings plateau that lasts many years!
January through July offers a stunning run of romance, especially in February (old flame?) and June. Attractions fill every month. You’ll be amorous, courageous and unlikely to take “no” as a final answer. Hope about love expands, even though the one you chase might have many problems. Be gentle toward children.
After July, your money luck ebbs. Save, be conservative. This second half is splendidly busy — you’ll be invigorated, happy, talking/writing, flirting, travelling. A new, long-term friendship could develop. Someone stunning (and perhaps unbearably challenging) saunters in, September/October. (Again, an old flame?)
Your hopes soar in November, about an investment, debt reduction, or intimate link. Avoid legal hassles in December. All year, work and health remain burdensome — but you’ll quietly advance toward successes and cures.
CANCER June 21-July 22
CANCER, 2014 continues your run of personal luck. From August into 2015 your money ship will find a lucrative harbor. You could even double your present income.
For the first seven months, friction might assault your cozy home. Avoid this by channeling your aggression into repairs, renovations or gardening. Be gentle with kids and spouse. Don’t move into a new home before July 27.
This entire decade promises true love — but if you start a new romance before August, it might explode into a war of the sexes. Others treat you affectionately January to March. June raises love’s hopes, high. A message from the past could spark a powerful November romance.
A job or career project might end before August. If so, plunge into the food or real estate fields. You might set up a home office.
August onward, the money taps open wide. Do NOT start a business, but do try to increase your income — you could turn the faucet on permanently! In May, higher-ups favour you. Money finds you in August/September. Work’s lucrative in December — ask for more.
LEO July 23-Aug. 22
LEO, last year’s quietude continues to early July. This is a great time to form plans, seek the spiritual, exercise your charitable side, and interface with civil servants, large corporations or institutions. If you’re married, cozy intimacy prevails. If you’re unattached, January through July brings many casual contacts, one of which could march to marriage — but if you’re uncertain, wait.
Your birthday starts one of the luckiest years of your life, filled with fortune, love, and creative success. You’ll whirl toward exciting horizons and accomplishments. You’ll attract allies, opportunities and luck. Your heart will soar with romantic fervor, especially August to October and December.
Contain your temper in late summer, especially at home. Don’t move into a new home from July 27 to Sept. 13.
During January/February, your domestic scene is slow but favoured and healthy. January to March brings affectionate co-workers, and from March onward your career bounces with new energy — for 17 years! All 2014, take care with higher education, international travel, publishing and legalities. Through July, don’t gossip or say/write anything that raises legal dangers.
VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22
VIRGO, you’ll remember 2014’s “money run” for many years. January to July, dollars will flow swiftly to you — and away. If you want to end wealthier, not poorer, refuse to overspend. Extra money might come from an inheritance, a pension, or from your own investments. If you must spend, buy investments — carefully.
You’re cheerful and optimistic the first seven months; this will attract many friends and a round of invitations. A club or group you enter now will bless you for many years. If you’re an artist, politician or otherwise seeking public favour, this is your time! You might engage in a hot sensual affair, but reject extra-marital situations. Love calls you in January (romantic) March (a challenging, fascinating person) May (gently, wedding vibes) and November (short, intense attractions).
From August onward, retreat from the hectic crowd. Contemplate. Rest from recent adventures; form long-term plans. Join a group that raises your spiritual or psychological health. This is a great time to get rid of old ghosts; if you face them, they’ll dissolve. Seek employment in government, warehousing, or large corporations.
LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22
LIBRA, March to July continues to beneficially promote your career and worldly standing. Chase success, show higher-ups what you can do. This is a rare chance!
You feel adventurous, assertive, impatient through July. But if you push too hard, what/whom you want will flee. All year, be independent — forming partnerships or marrying can bring unwanted consequences. So enjoy sexual, romantic or friendly links, but don’t build a life on them. April, June, August and December light the love lamp. Be patient if you encounter someone’s “ sexual shyness ” March to May — it gives you space to think. Don’t relocate unless you must. Be wary of investments in January/February. Keep earning quietly, paying debts or saving.
Hope, happiness and light romance blast into your life August to December. Your popularity will hit a 12-year peak. A significant wish will come true. A group you join now could bless your life for a decade to come.
Your home life continues to play destiny’s hand: changes of residence, income from or spending on real estate, family changes, children’s progress — these occupy you all year.
SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21
SCORPIO, you recently began a five-year ascension in career, worldly status and reputation. A promotion is very likely this August to summer 2015. (DON’T start a business August to December.) A wedding can also elevate your status — but don’t marry before March, and reject anyone you first met between September 2012 and February 2014.
From March onward, your management duties or links to the government buoy you smoothly and pleasantly; but hands-on work can lead to frustrating dead-ends.
Through July, you’ll gain (financially) from higher education, far travel, publishing, and cultural involvements. If you face a lawsuit, you’ll likely win. A sweet, gentle love might enter your life from March to July: this one holds marriage potential. Romance thrills in March. May and June lure you with sexy hints. Your magnetism surges in August/September, and November brings quiet, sweet admirers.
Short trips dot your year like cookie crumbs at a day care. Your health is generally good, but January to July can bring rashes, cuts, headaches (lighten up on work) and heartburn. Avoid dark alleys, rough clubs.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21
SAGITTARIUS, the first half of 2014 keeps a lucky door open to mysteries, sexual intimacy, valuable investments, debt reduction, pregnancy, lifestyle changes and research. Plunge into these areas March to early July. Commit yourself — you could stumble upon a golden opportunity in financial or lifestyle areas.
The second half of the year brings everything you love: far travel, foreign cultures and contacts, higher learning, philosophy, publishing, big ideas, social rituals — and love. You might wed before mid-2015 arrives.
From March onward, choose light, friendly romance over the “ heavy” kind. This will be easy yet hard — easy to find light romance, but hard because it keeps threatening to become deep. Seek romance and pleasure in a social group, not alone.
An old flame might appear in February, June or October. Romance flares in April, June, September/October and December. Be gentle if someone has “performance anxiety” February to May.
Protect your health in January/February: your throat and eliminative organs might need care. Don’t worry if you’re not earning much money yet — that will begin in 2015.
CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19
CAPRICORN, 2014 offers you a treasure chest, but somebody else holds the key. So promote others’ wishes, needs and requests — in tandem, you’ll grab rewards. Alone, not so much. The first half of the year brings fortunate marriage prospects to singles. Unhappy couples face a split; happy couples receive six months of adventure, humour, and love filled with conversation. Intimate urges increase powerfully in the second half of 2014. Reject extra-marital temptations. Young couples face pregnancy.
Your gentleness attracts affection January through March. Romance flares in May/June, briefly late July/early August, and November, when your magnetism surges.
Until late July, bosses, VIPs, authorities and parents display impatience, even aggression. Be diplomatic. You could leave one career/job, enter another. If you work in real estate, clothing or food, you’ll reach new heights now. August onward, investments turn lucky.
All year, chase career goals. Avoid retreat, hunkering down at home. A new friendship slowly develops.
Relocation will turn out fortunately, if you accomplish it before mid-July. Your health remains strong, but avoid stress — it might manifest as digestive problems.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18
AQUARIUS, the first half of 2014 chains you to work — and brings financial rewards. Eat, drink and dress sensibly, keep your health up. From 2008 to 2024, you can build a castle of money. Ask for a raise in March, for a promotion in November.
Until late July your intellectual, far travel, publishing, religious, legal and cultural arenas heat up, bringing many conversations and trips. You might agree to wed a casual suitor (waiting’s better). Avoid legal hassles.
All year, reject the casual, flippant; embrace the profound. You are likely to do a lot of pondering about your direction, especially in love and finances. An old flame might enter in February, June or October. You can settle financial issues in September. A boss is cranky August/September: be diplomatic.
Midsummer begins a year (lasting into 2015) of marriage opportunities, and splendid luck in relocation, dealing with the pubic, fame, negotiations, contracts and partnerships. To succeed, emphasize others’ needs, jump on their band wagon, for they hold the lucky cards. A December wish might come true, if it concerns the past.
PISCES Feb. 19-March 20
PISCES, a love affair or creative project, recently stalled, roars ahead March to July. Romance can boost your career or worldly standing; so can a creative project. Take reasonable risks — you’ll ride a winning streak until late July!
Love is double-barrelled: romance blossoms to July, and your sensual side burns with rare intensity. Yet pushing too strongly for intimacy can make love teeter on unsteady legs. Love and friendship are filled with bright promise January/February. You attract others March/April. July is passionate, romantic, yet your amour might go “ into hiding.” Mysteries lie here.
These first seven months urge you to combine passion with intellect, creativity with media or broadcasting, love with international travel or contacts. It’s a splendid time to start an import-export, insurance, teaching or publishing business.
From August on, work piles up: dig in with a smile. Do NOT start a business or large practical project these last five months. Step lightly with temperamental bosses in early autumn. Avoid lawsuits, August/September. In November, someone might urge you to wed. Before accepting, think: how gentle, stable is he/she?
