Predictions 2015: Leo

Leo (for those born July 23-Aug. 22): In 2015, Leo, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to take the leap. That’s the message that Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and good fortune, has been broadcasting on all wavelengths since it entered your sign on July 16, 2014. Traveling through Leo, its role is to broaden your horizons and put you in touch with your higher purpose.

In other words, after toughing it out the past two and a half years — especially in the area of your home life — you’ve got lift off. Children of the Sun can come out of hiding and begin unfurling their many gifts and taking their long-awaited leaps of faith.

But the question is: Just where do you want to land? Prior to Jupiter’s appearance in your sign, you were itching to make wholesale changes but couldn’t quite see them through. It was easier to retreat into your cave, hunker down into the familiar and hope that the status quo could sustain you. [Continued at RulingPlanets.com]

Predictions 2015: Cancer

Cancer (for those born June 21-July 22): As a child of the Moon, you know all about the ebb and flow of careers, partners, home life and above all, your own identity. These areas of your life are like the four points on a compass, and when you alter the direction in one area of your life, the other three points need to change, too. In essence, with one small change in any direction, your entire life can change.

As the year begins, you are focused on your partner. Relationships for you have always been a testing ground, but for the past two and a half years, those closest to you may have seemed more like enemies, or frenemies, than lovers. Power struggles, secret obsessions and hints of darkness may have started showing up in your relationship, along with the despair of thinking there was no way out.

But as the curtain rises on 2015, you notice something is shifting. You see a distant light at the end of the tunnel. You or your partner — or both of you – are waking up with renewed hope, optimism and honesty. The marriage institution you tore down or tore apart has been transformed into an entirely new and improved model of partnership. You’re seeing things in a whole new light.

Predictions 2015: Gemini

Gemini (those born May 21-June 20): 2015 is a year when your creative identity will emerge in ways you weren’t expecting. It is a year to reconnect with a higher power, to rethink your self-image, and to refine your creative offerings. The visionary in you is no doubt intrigued by these possibilities, but the skeptic in you can only wonder just how these good things might come to pass when all you feel is boxed in and possibly weighed down as the new year begins.

Partnership concerns are on the rise in early 2015, as is your focus on joint finances. Both topics may feel like a downer at the moment. For all your talk about your investments and your partner’s assets, you just aren’t able to call the shots right now. It’s frustrating because there may be differing opinions about how joint resources should be managed, and for some reason, your opinion doesn’t count.

If you are single right now, instead of celebrating your footloose and fancy-free ways like you used to do, you actually may be feeling vulnerable and insignificant.

The fact is that Saturn, the planet of trials and tribulation, has just entered the sign of Sagittarius and will be traveling through your solar house of partnerships until Dec. 2017. This means that your beliefs about marriage and business partnerships will be put to the test. If your relationships have a good foundation, they will be stronger and better for it. If they aren’t, it may be time to ponder an exit strategy. You may also attract a partner during this time who will feel like it is his or her job to test you. [Continued at RulingPlanets.com]

Predictions 2015: Taurus

Taurus (those born April 20-May 20): 2015 is the year the universe is conspiring to broaden your horizons and reveal your true purpose.

After two-plus years of doing the heavy lifting in your partnership, you can’t help but notice something has changed. That’s because Saturn, the planet of trials and tribulations, is leaving your solar house of relationships. A new game is afoot, one that involves honesty, hope, beliefs, and an expanded world view.

After the recent past where you felt you had to bottle up your feelings, especially as they concerned your partner, it may be hard for you to accept that you’ve really come through the worst of it. But take note, because, right off the bat, as the new year begins and through Feb. 20 at least, you’ll feel you are at the top of your game. Your reputation is on the rise and good friends and associates are willing to join forces with you to make the world a better place. You’re feeling optimistic about your home life, your parents and your place in the world. [Continued at RulingPlanets.com]

Predictions 2015: Aries

Aries (those born March 21-April 19): Do we dare tell your independent, freedom-loving inner ram that, for you, 2015 is a “people who need people” kind of year? In 2015, your ruling planet, Mars, begins and ends its journey in air signs, meaning relationships take star billing this year.

January finds your ruling planet in the zodiac’s most quixotic air sign, that of Aquarius. You may be asked to intercede on behalf of a friend or group of friends who insist on playing by their own rules. While they may have the luxury of tilting at windmills, you, on the other hand, are on the cusp of a serious career opportunity. As such, you are quite concerned about what other people think of you. You may find that you need to manage or guide these frolicking friends of yours. And that’s when the fun begins, setting the tone for the year ahead.

Any Aries worth his or her salt is not lacking courage, especially when there is a wrong to right. In the month of January and early February, however, you may find yourself at odds with legal or religious institutions where you feel more the victim than the avenger. Being the underdog is not fun unless you can figure out a way in which to rise or to come to the rescue. Thus, you may feel pinned down until Feb. 20.

But then, rise you will. [Continued at RulingPlanets.com ]
