Horoscopes: What to look out for in 2012

Find out what's in store for you in the year ahead

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Naturally passionate and daring at heart, you’re never one to shy away from new experiences or to tackle difficult challenges. This year though, you’re looking to boldly go where you’ve never been before! Your usual sandbox feels too confining as you seek to branch out and explore new realms. This could take the form of international travel, but it could also be new mental challenges that you choose to take on.  Thinking about going back to school? This is your year! Publishing is highly favoured too (write that book!), as are religious/spiritual studies or taking any kind of legal action.

Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to expand my world.

Love:  There’s something different about you this spring! It’s not just the new hairstyle either. You’re literally morphing into an even more authentic version of yourself, and attracting mega attention as you do it! Image-enhancing Venus in Aries brings you loads of opportunities to connect in February, but it’s the hot summer months when things really get cooking!

Money/Work: It’s a banner beginning to the year financially, thanks to moneybags Jupiter continuing to grace your income zone! May looks especially profitable, but you’ve got until June to make hay whilst the sun shines. There’s a positive shift happening in your day-to-day work environment this August/September, largely because you make it happen.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

As a practical, comfort-loving Taurus you’re extremely resourceful, and you find pleasure and security in acquiring and owning a lot of ‘stuff!’ There’s nothing wrong with that of course, but this year you’re more open to merging and sharing with others, and not just physically either. You’re really learning how to trust on an even deeper level, and mingling monies could be part of that.

Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to have faith in others

Love: Don’t underestimate the power of your own charm! Let them come to you (and they will), especially this May/June. Things get hot and heavy this summer, but its around the November 13th Solar Eclipse when you take the next serious step in your relationship.

Money/Work: The May 20th Solar Eclipse practically throws money your way! Abundant Jupiter in your sign says opportunities abound, but its still up to you to take advantage of them. You can afford to push for what you want. This is one of your best money years of the decade, with financial/business partnerships being especially lucrative!

Gemini (May 21 - June 22)

Think back to the summer of 2000 through to the summer of 2001. What was going on back then? Your confidence level was high and you were branching out in some new way or in some new direction. You can expect more of the same for 2012, especially from June through December. It’s a positive, once-in-every-twelve-years kind of opportunity, so say yes to whatever the Universe offers up!

Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to have faith in my abilities.

Love: You’re redefining your bottom line in all your primary romantic and business relationships this winter/spring. Where are your boundaries? You may not really know until someone pushes them. They will too, especially on January 4th, April 9th and most notably on the Eclipse of June 4th! At that point you should be able to define exactly what it is that you want, (or equally as important, what you don't want!). An engagement, marriage or second honeymoon could be part of the scenario this summer!

Money/Work: The March 21st New Moon earns you a spot in the limelight. Finally! All your hard work starts to pay off and your reputation soars. Image is key at this time too, so don’t hesitate to fake it ‘til you make if you need to! Financial opportunities abound once bountiful Jupiter enters your sign in June. Be watchful for opportunities, as calculated risks, offers and prospects tend to pay off big time.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

You’re practical, organized and efficient as usual this year, but by June you’re being asked to let go a little and focus on having more fun! Let joy, creativity, romance and pleasure be your guide. If it’s fun, then you’re on the right path! Involve yourself with kids and let them remind you how to play, take an art class or go on a date. It can actually be a challenge to settle into this mindset if one is always trying to ‘work’ at things, but we’re confident you’ll get the hang of it in no time!

Your mantra for 2012 is: I choose to freely express myself

Love: The January 8th Full Moon gives you a choice! You can go along with your partner’s agenda, or you can come up with one of your own! Focusing on yourself now wins you more respect in the end. Single? It’s when you’re out doing your own thing that you meet someone like-minded. It doesn’t get any hotter when romantic Venus and passionate
