It’s written in the stars, 2014 sees big change
WE’VE all been going through enforced change since late-2008 and we can at least partly blame the stars: Pluto, the planet of enforced transformation is in Capricorn, which governs man-made structures. It will be there till January, 2024. The last time this happened we had the American and French Revolutions, so you can see that major changes abound. Recently we’ve seen the banking system, organised religions, the media and the professions all pretty much facing adversity in order to change or to be forced to change. 2014 will be no different except that for those who are willing to make some major adjustments will enjoy slow but positive improvement during this 12 month period.
Judgemental Saturn is still in Scorpio until the end of the year and this ensures secrets will be revealed. Guilty conscience? Come clean now! However, there is a Saturn/Jupiter trine mid-year which offers prospects of achieving a good balancing act between the old and the new. The Solar Eclipses in April and October also promise harmony.
The best advice for 2014 is: if things aren’t working for you find the pattern you’re following and change it.
Let’s see what the prospects are for each zodiac sign and some matching celebrities:
Former Dr Who David Tennant and fellow Arians mustn’t force things to happen during January; instead, clear out the old to make way for the new.
Practice extra patience for most of February and from Mar 24-30, but from Apr 7-13 you can sweet-talk everyone into seeing your side of things.
Discretion will be needed from Jul 14-20, and passion abounds from 26th. Secrets come to light early August but by 26th harmony returns. Should you wish to break a bad habit, start afresh end-August.
January may drag but Taureans such as Taoiseach Enda Kenny should persevere.
Property and food interests should improve from February-July, with a boost end-April. Creative ideas can succeed from Jul 15-20, and well-made plans may change at a moment’s notice around Aug 9-11. Emotions cause some turmoil from Oct 8-12, so be honest about your feelings to circumvent misunderstanding.
Don’t cling to the status quo: be willing to find the middle ground.
With your ruler, Mercury, going retrograde from Feb 6-28, Jun 7-Jul 1 and Oct 4-25, messages may go awry but you’ll have ample opportunity to re-think your plans.
Geminis such as Kitchen Hero Donal Skehan, above, should beware phishing and viruses at these times, though they’re good times for catching up with old friends or revitalising a relationship.
Romance may be rekindled early June and from Oct 13.
Money matters improve throughout the year once you use hindsight.
January promises some happy times at home and with family for Cancerians such as Tulisa Contostavlos, below right, and Jupiter’s positive influence improves your prospects until end-June and during August.
Mercury retrograde (see Gemini above) might bring up some secrets which have been well hidden over the years.
Romance is in the air during July but be realistic. While you may side-step intimate issues, from Sept 7 it’s vital to communicate what is important for you, or you risk a relationship breakdown.
Radical ideas should be filling the minds of Leos such as Opposition Leader Micheál Martin in January but practical solutions may not be found so easily.
Don’t take too many chances from Apl 1-6 or you’ll repent at leisure.
Plans conceived last March should begin to show promise mid-July. With Mercury, Leo and Jupiter combined from end July, be extra aware of what’s said via social media. By mid-August any furore should have died down.
Niall Horan of One Direction and other Virgoans should check Gemini above to see dates for Mercury retrograde as it’s also your ruler. Jan 6-12 brings good news and Mar 24-30 offers support and understanding.
Be gentle from Apr 7-13, no matter how your patience is tried.
Discretion in social media is paramount in early August or negativity can spread like wildfire. Conserve your energy end August as September looks like a magical roller-coaster.
What’s been going on for Kim Kardashians and other Librans since 2012?
Events will come to a head mid-April so do not try to cling to the wreckage: change!
Your ability to calm troubled waters should be on call in early July when your words of wisdom will be welcomed.
Events look good from Sept 8-14 and you can enjoy some down-time from Oct 7-10.
Naturally secretive, Scorpios such as Katy Perry perhaps need to be more trusting rather than secretly hiding their emotions.
After a few weeks of frustrating disappointments, by April life should get easier. With Mercury Retrograde (for dates, see Gemini above) be extra careful with personal details especially in social media.
From Aug 4-10, Mars and Neptune may tempt you into a danger zone. Tread with care!
Sagittarians such as singer Taylor Swift, right, need balance in all that they do. 2014 starts off with some frustrations but by the Full Moon on Feb 14 life takes on a new vibrancy, though there may be conflict from Feb 24 to Mar 2.
By Mar 26 the future looks bright, with some hiccups around Apr 18 and Jul 30.
By focusing on long-term plans at end May you’ll see the results by July, so be patient.
Hard working Capricorns such as Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, right, should start 2014 with enthusiasm, though their best made plans may get a bit unstuck around Feb 14.
Be flexible and matters improve from Mar 24 to 30. Obstacles appear again May 6-10. Face them and learn from the past.
If so, by May 19-25 you should see true, positive benefits from your efforts and with even better prospects from Jun 28.
Change and regular upheaval is the norm for Aquarians such as Minister Joan Burton and matters come to a head between Feb 24 and April 29.
If you’ve been willing to change in recent years this is when you gain from the pain.
Smaller but happier events can also be seen around Jan 21 and from Jul 21 when you get some breathing space and your dreams just might be coming true.
Though Pisceans may have felt somewhat aimless recently, these Water Signs, which includes singer Justin Bieber, above, need some down-time to replenish their energy.
It’s then possible to wake up with new ideas and a boost of energy, especially from March and the more open you are the better the outcome.
Though difficulties may occur end-August, a second opinion can help straighten out uncertainty and this can recur around Sept 17.
