1 Aries - 21 Mar to 20 Apr:

King of Swords

Work/Career Many exciting changes (mostly positive) will come your way in 2014, but January will give little indication of the upcoming shifts in your life. Don't fret too much about it, though: The coming year will be a boon for your career prospects, and January is just the tip of the iceberg. Though it may be an uneventful month on the whole, remember the old adage no news is good news. While there may be little to be excited about in your work life, there will also be little to become frustrated about. Single You've no doubt noticed that the last couple years of your life has seen some interesting changes and a lot of personal growth. This is due to the influence of Uranus, which has been in your sign since early 2011. And the way that you've grown as a person since then is part of the reason why you're still single; it's difficult to keep a relationship growing when you're not even the same human being you were six months ago, much less a year ago. But 2014 will bring about some stability in this area of your life, and January will likely find you more confident and ready to find that special someone. In Love Aries who are already in a relationship will find similar grounding throughout the year, with January serving as the beginning of a steady maturation phase. This month you'll be less enticed to stray outside the bounds of matrimony or fidelity, and this will be an ongoing pattern that will last through the better part of 2014. Expect your relationship to grow and strengthen as the year goes on. That's not to say that there won't be rough patches, but they'll be easier to weather for the both of you. Finances Later in the year you'll start to meet people and make connections that will have a positive effect on your monetary situation. At the moment, however, expect things to remain relatively uneventful in regards to your finances. This isn't such a bad thing, though, because the odds are good that this past year has seen more positive news than negative as far as your pocketbook is concerned. And the best part is things will continue to get better as 2014 rolls on. Health For the first few months of 2014, Aries can expect to be a bit more susceptible to illness. This is the one ray of bad news for your sign in the early part of the year, but don't become overly concerned: Most likely the illness will come in the form of a cold or something similarly innocuous. Make sure to avoid

germs and keep your immune system up and you just might be fortunate enough to avoid the infections and viruses that your astrological brethren will be subject to this month.

2 Taurus - 20 Apr to 21 May:

Six of Cups

Work/Career As the month goes on, you'll find your tenth house in a particularly fortuitous position, especially toward the end of January. Your tenth house rules things like social status and career prospects, and thus will smile down upon you as you work to achieve your goals at the workplace. You can expect to have less stress overall, despite Saturn in Scorpio still throwing out a little static intermittently. But all in all, the first month of 2014 is just the beginning of a positive pattern vis a vis your career and work. Single You'll feel a lot of optimism about your love life this month. Though you aren't in a serious relationship at the moment, you will entertain the idea of settling down with someone and you'll be more likely to look at a potential mate not as a one night stand but as a possible long term partner. It's a good bet that it's been a while since you've been close and intimate with someone, and that was probably due to your aversion toward a deep, complex relationship that might get in the way of some of your more immediate goals. But don't be surprised when you see that attitude begin to shift this month, and the idea of coupling sounds more enticing than it has in quite a while. In Love Taureans already in a relationship will also feel a similar tug toward closer intimacy with their partners. In the last few months you might have been a bit more abrasive than usual. It is typical of Taurus to become impatient and snippy at times and the end of the year might have brought out a bit of this disposition within you. But now it's time to forge stronger ties with the ones you love, and this will be much easier now that you're less likely to lose patience or become frustrated with others. Finances As with your professional life, your financial outlook is healthy this year and will continue to be so for the first part of 2014. Everything is coming together in your work life and as such it will translate to more success as far as money matters are concerned. That being said, it is important to sit back and ride the wave right now rather than try to accrue more capital. This is not the time to invest or take risks. Enjoy the gifts of the tenth house and wait until closer to the middle of the year to try any gambles. Health Normally head and face injuries are the province of Aries, the headstrong and impetuous children of the Zodiac. But this month you'll want to be a bit more careful in order to avoid any concussions, lacerations, and the like. Keep in mind that it isn't just blunt objects that can harm the head and face. You may also be susceptible to migraines, sinus infections, or breakouts. Stay careful and alert, and of course keep that immune system in tip-top shape. With any luck, you'll make it out of January unscathed.

3 Gemini - 21 May to 20 Jun:

XVII The Star

Work/Career Patience and composure are not two things generally attributed to Gemini. Instead, your sign is often thought to be mercurial and flighty. But the truth is that Geminis can often surprise others with their ability to focus on the task at hand and see important matters to the end. This month, you'll be inundated with work, responsibility, and varying levels of career-related stress. But those who doubt you will be astounded to see how much work can be accomplished by a Gemini when push comes to shove. Maybe it has to do with the twins that represent your sign. The workload IS always easier when it's split between two people. Single January won't have much in the way of romance for single Geminis, but that is mostly because you'll be so busy taking care of other, more pressing matters. But this is a good thing: Sometimes it's beneficial to take a step back from the dating scene so that you can objectively take stock in what it is you want out of a relationship. A bit of alone time allows you to ponder about the people in your life who might present romantic possibilities. And as you deal with your busy workload this month, you'll have plenty of solo time to make sense of everything. In Love Geminis in a relationship, on the other hand, have a slightly tougher road to hoe. This is due to the fact that, with a busy schedule looming over you at all hours, it will be difficult to spend the amount of quality time that your lover might require of you. But honesty trumps all here: Let your partner know that you are swamped and, as much as you might want to dedicate more time to them, there are only so many hours in the day. An understanding partner will certainly sympathize. Finances Expect earnings to remain fairly stagnant in January. This may not be the most welcome news, but it is preferable over, say, watching your investments dwindle in the coming months. And, to be sure, things will pick up as the year progresses. In the coming months you will also be more confident in your ability to make prudent decisions regarding money matters. What's more, you'll have intermittent strokes of bon fortuna that will further improve your financial outlook, so a month or two of relative stagnancy should be much easier to stomach. Health The Lunar eclipse might make some Geminis more prone to stress or accidents. If you drive a vehicle, it would be a good idea to take it for a tune up early in the month. Make sure that the tires are in working order. Avoid becoming angry at coworkers or family who may not know that you're shouldering a bit more stress than usual this month. The burden placed upon you shouldn't be TOO hard to bear, but a Gemini can often become frustrated and angry faster than almost any sign in the Zodiac.

4 Cancer - 21 Jun to 20 Jul:

IV The Emperor

Work/Career There's a good chance that you'll be in some form of training or higher education that will lead you to more success and prominence within your career. Fortunately for you, Cancer, you are at your most adaptable, and you'll make short work of anything in your way. The stars are aligning to ensure that this year will be very fruitful for you. Don't think you've won the cosmic lottery, however the truth is that the work you've put in throughout 2013 is now beginning to pay off, so the coming success in your career is well deserved. Single In the first few months of the year, love and romance will take a backseat to responsibility. It isn't so much that you'll be inundated with work and stress; rather, you'll be so productive that you simply won't have the spare time to devote to any flings or couplings. Nor should you want to: The strides you make during this time will set you up comfortably for the rest of the year, when romance will really start to play a prominent part in your life. In Love Since Saturn walked his way into your fifth house, it's quite likely that you've settled down into a serious relationship. The fifth house rules, among other things, love and pleasure. The last year or so has been a gradual process wherein you've shed off a lot of the negative things that can poison a relationship, such as temptation and dishonesty. As such, Cancers in a relationship are in a unique position to watch that relationship blossom and grow ever deeper. The new moon in your fifth house early in the month will ensure that this process continues smoothly. Finances Any spare money that may come your way should be spent toward paying down any outstanding debt you may have incurred last year. Money matters will improve as the year goes on, but a clean slate is essential this year. You'll feel more confident in your ability to manage your finances, and this is a good thing, but don't let it make you reckless with your spending. Try to avoid any chancy investments for the next few months and instead focus on making yourself completely solvent. Health The phrase making a mountain out of a molehill seems like it was tailor-made for Cancer. Yours is a sign that can take anything from an innocuous statement to a meaningless gesture and inflate it into a cruel, barbarous insult or a dreadfully offensive act. And so it goes it health. Often, Cancers will detect a change in health that may be minor and insignificant but will become distressed and terrified at the prospect of a more serious illness. You'll be prone to this sort of behavior this month, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Your health is one thing that you can excused for being vigilant about.

5 Leo - 21 Jul to 21 Aug:

Knight of Pentacles

Work/Career Expect a month full of productivity to usher in the new year. You'll be firing on all cylinders, and your productivity will be the highest it's been in months. This year, a big theme in your life will be pacing yourself, and you will become much more efficient at handling your responsibilities while still having energy to spare. Use this month as a jumping off point, and portion out your productivity enough so that you'll still have plenty left over for the events in your personal life. Single This month you'll be surprised to find that love is lurking around every corner. Leos who err a bit on the side of promiscuity will be thrilled at the prospects that lay before them, but prudence is the watchword this month: The increase in romantic entanglements isn't a free pass for Leos to exercise their sexual dynamism, but rather a note from the cosmos that this is the year for single Leos to meet someone with whom they will want to settle down for the long haul. In Love As for Leos who have already found that special someone, there is no reason why you should miss out on all the fun. Depending on your partner's sign, you will either enjoy a slight increase in sexual activity or a prominent rise. This is due to the fact that you are much more alluring this month to everybody you come in contact with, your partner included. That doesn't mean you aren't good-looking every other month of the year, as most Leos are physically attractive, but in January that fact will be much more apparent. Finances Unlike almost every other sign in the Zodiac this month, January will be a very strong time for you financially. Feel free to trust fully in your judgment when making big purchases you'll shop wisely and prudently. You'll also be much more likely to negotiate a good bargain, and that money can be further put to good use. Any other investments should be done within the first three weeks of the month. Also, be on the lookout for some sort of small windfall to come your way toward the end of January. Health You'll take much more stock in your physical well-being this month, and this is the perfect time to do so. With a new year comes new dedications to fitness and cardiovascular health. If you've been neglecting that workout routine, the extra energy you have throughout January makes it the perfect time to get back in the groove. Your overall mood will be improved and this will in turn add even more to your health. The risk of a cold is a bit higher in the middle of the month, but some immune boosters should be all that is needed to ward off any illness.

6 Virgo - 22 Aug to 22 Sept:

Queen of Cups

Work/Career While Virgos are nothing if not practical and grounded, you'll start to feel a bit of wanderlust this month as you contemplate whether you've made the right career choices. The daily grind is getting to you just a bit, and the idea of something different and refreshing seems very enticing to you. Fortunately, Virgos are not the type to rush headlong into new ventures on a whim, and as such you already know that the best course of action is to avoid doing anything rash: In a month these feelings will have subsided and you'll be happy that you decided to keep your current position secure. Single As with quite a few signs this month, Virgos will feel a pull toward romance. While your sexual appetite will be higher, don't think that it will necessarily translate to an increase in carnal encounters. Your sign is typically less likely to be promiscuous in the first place, but aside from that, you'll be more preoccupied with the IDEA of romance rather than the execution. Courtship will come your way this year, and January can be seen as a prep course that will put you in the right mindset to begin a healthy relationship. In Love While you will contemplate possible partners in the coming months, the other thoughts racing through your head regarding your career and your path in life will take precedence. But as mentioned above, this is a sowing phase that will allow you to reap a harvest of healthy relationship potential down the road. In many ways 2014 will be a year of growth for you, and the prospect of a true, meaningful form of kinship is just one of the many positive things that will come your way this year. Finances There's a good chance you may be a bit more rash with your spending this month. This is only a bad thing if you go overboard and dip too far into your savings. But the odds are good that this won't be the case. And besides, we all deserve to treat ourselves a little every now and then. So if you can afford it, cast aside that Virgo prudence that you're known for a splurge a bit on something that you really want. You've had a productive year and you owe it to yourself to be happy. Health Fortunately, there are no significant health problems on the horizon for Virgo. Expect January to be a solid month as far as your immune system and well-being are concerned. You may be a bit more sluggish than usual this month, but don't attribute it to any blood cell issues or illness; the slight fatigue you feel is nothing serious and you should be back to your usual energy level come February.

7 Libra - 23 Sept to 22 Oct:

IX The Hermit

Work/Career With the majority of your planetary power below the horizon this month, you can rest easy knowing that work will take care of itself. Stress, competition, and ennui will not be a problem feel free to kick back and ride the tide of productivity. Even better, you'll have more free time this month, making this the perfect time to start up a new hobby or get back into some routines that you've been neglecting. Single Last year you sought a love that was akin to a romantic comedy fun, happiness, and cheer was what you wanted out of a relationship. But with a planetary shift from Aquarius to Pisces this month, you will enter a new phase wherein you will desire a love that is more spiritual, more deep and profound. Instead of a romantic comedy kind of love, you will crave a love more akin to a classic poem. This is just one of many signs of growth that you will display throughout the year, Libra. In Love Libras already in a relationship are perfectly primed to enjoy this romantic growth right away. Don't be surprised if you find yourself falling deeper and deeper in love with your partner. One caveat: Make sure that your partner reciprocates this love. If your relationship is not mature and healthy at the moment, you may be setting yourself up for heartbreak this year. It's better to get out of a stagnant relationship early this year, in order to help you find someone you can truly connect with while the cosmos are still oriented in your favor. Finances Don't worry about money this month, Libra, unless you absolutely have to. January is a month in which everything will progress smoothly with minimal effort on your part. Your bank account should be in relatively good shape and your expenditures won't be significant enough to give you any cause for alarm. So take a break: Kick back and enjoy the finer things in life. There will come plenty of opportunities this year to improve your financial standing. In the meantime, just treat yourself to a good time. Health You are likely to become a bit more concerned with your health than you've been in recent months. Don't get too worried though: This isn't to say that your health will worsen, but rather that you'll be more receptive to the way your body works and the things you need to do to keep it in working order. To be perfectly honest, this is actually a good thing. As long as it doesn't descend into hypochondria, we can all benefit from paying more attention to our livelihood.

8 Scorpio - 23 Oct to 22 Nov:

VI The Lovers

Work/Career Forward progress is the keyword this month, Scorpio. Nearly all your planets are in motion, setting the stage for a period of significant growth in many sectors of your life. Your career is just one of these sectors. During this time you'll be actively pursuing a higher level of prominence in your job, as well as your paycheck. And the best bit is that there will be very little in your way. This is a very prosperous time and it would behoove you to make the most of it. Single Expect to find lovers and possible partners in areas related to finances and business. This could translate into a workplace romance, but it could just as easily mean that you'll catch the eye of a sales clerk. Either way, it isn't likely that any coupling that may occur during this month will lead to anything serious. But Scorpios aren't needy in that department, and it's quite likely that a relationship is something that you aren't looking for at the moment. But enjoy it while it lasts: Later in the year Scorpio will begin to feel the urge to merge, as it were. In Love Scorpios in a relationship will enjoy an easy month that will be virtually free of chaos, anger, or hurt feelings. This is a very good time to grow closer to the one you love, and the two of you will heartily enjoy one another's company during this time. What's more, your typical Scorpio sarcasm will be toned down, making you come across as a more sympathetic and caring lover. January will be a great month in terms of allowing you to make sense of the feelings you have for your partner. Finances Some Scorpios will actively seek an increase of earnings during this period, and they will be happy to find that their wishes will come true. But even Scorpios who aren't overly concerned with improving their financial outlook will also benefit from the current planetary alignment. By all accounts, January is a month in which it will be very difficult to keep you from rising up the ranks. If you come to find that you've been shorted this month, fret not: February will also be a beneficial time for you and by the first quarter of the year all Scorpios should be sitting pretty as far as money is concerned. Health An increase in energy is just one of the benefits you'll receive this month, Scorpio. This is a perfect time to see that New Year's resolution through, as well as getting back in the groove of other things you've been neglecting. But even better, your mental acuity will be near its peak this month. Your ability to reason, solve problems, and make sense of complex issues is in top form. Very little can stand in your way during this period, so make the most of it.

9 Sagittarius - 23 Nov to 20 Dec:

Nine of Wands

Work/Career Though Sagittarius is easily one of the most amiable, people-loving signs, the fact of the matter is that you and your astrological brethren hate having to supplicate yourselves. Being sycophantic is simply not

in your nature. Unfortunately, January looks like a month in which you'll have to ameliorate yourself into the good graces of those higher up the ladder than you. It isn't pretty, but sometimes in life we have to make sacrifices to keep ourselves in good standing. Just try to keep your head up, Sagittarius; before you know it the month will be over and things will return back to normal. Single Be careful this month when playing the dating game: There is the distinct possibility that you could get yourself into a bit of trouble while out on the town. It's no secret that those born under your sign are susceptible to addictions: Drugs and alcohol are essentially party fodder and few people know how to have a good time as a Sagittarius. Try to avoid any possible mates that could encourage you to go overboard on the bacchanalia front; this is a month in which such dalliances can bring larger problems down the road. In Love Your physical attractiveness will be even higher than it typically is (which is pretty high, for your sign) and your fashion sense will be equally prominent. Don't be surprised if your partner is more raring to go than usual. That being said, others will find you attractive as well and it is your job to avoid these temptations and stay faithful to your mate. If anyone can do it, it's you. But it may be a good idea to avoid going out with your friends, lest you succumb to the wiles of another. Finances Money won't be much of a problem for the next few months, but it is still important to try to keep spending your dough responsibly. Later down the road there may be some issues with debt, and being frugal with your finances right now will help you greatly later in the year. It is highly possible that, if you act smartly with your money this month, you can spend all of 2014 virtually worry-free in terms of your pocketbook. And who wouldn't love to take that kind of stress off of their minds? Health Worrying can be one of the most physically and mentally destructive things we do to ourselves, and despite the fact that your sign is typically jovial, don't be surprised if you find yourself overly concerned with matters that aren't as serious as you make them out to be. Try to take a step back this month and look objectively at these so-called problems. Are they really as bad as you make them out to be? Most likely they are not, and as such you can benefit from a bit of meditation or other stress-relieving activities.

10 Capricorn - 21 Dec to 19 Jan:

Seven of Pentacles

Work/Career Your assertiveness will be in full force this month, making January a great time to really show your boss and coworkers what you're made of. Sure, cooperation is an important ability that we should all strive to master, but sometimes we can get it all done on our own. This fact is true for you this month, Capricorn, and you can be sure that your peers will notice it too. Now is the perfect time for you to truly make a name for yourself at the workplace.

Single Many planets will be in the sign of Capricorn this month, and that translates into quite a fortuitous time for you vis a vis your sexual liaisons. Yes, it's true that folks born under your sign sometimes have a bit of trouble when it comes to wooing prospective partners, but fear not: You'll be more confident and headstrong and others will definitely pick up on this. The shyness you exhibit during courtship won't rear it's head, allowing you a wonderful window of time in which to sow your oats. In Love Capricorns who are already spoken for won't miss out on the fun either: Expect a lot more excitement in the bedroom this month. Sure, spontaneity and fun are two things that your sign isn't necessarily known for, but your partner is in for a happy surprise; make sure that you take this opportunity to allow you and your lover to foster a deeper physical connection. You will be both more attractive and more attracted to your mate, and the possibility of a wonderful month of lovemaking is a virtual lock. Finances This month may bring with it the urge to make a large purchase of some kind - most likely something with an engine, like a boat or a car. While Capricorn is typically very practical and frugal when it comes to money matters, this is a time when you'll be able to think and act outside your usual comfort zone. If you have the extra money, why not treat yourself to something nice? Your sign is uniquely talented at withholding pleasure in the name of prudence, but we all need to pat ourselves on the back every now and then. Health The desire to sculpt a healthy, attractive body is strong with you this month, so why not take advantage of the motivation? Whether it arises from a New Year's resolution or a poor body image, fitness will take on a greater level of importance to you. Even if you're a Capricorn who is relatively hale and hearty, it never hurts to improve your strength and cardiovascular health, providing that you avoid any exercise that can worsen a pre-existing condition or cause stress to weak joints and bones.

11 Aquarius - 20 Jan to 18 Feb:

XIV Temperance

Work/Career Office politics may pose a threat this month, so be on your guard. Quibbling with coworkers is certainly not out of the question and you stand a good chance of feeling miffed when a supervisor displays preferential treatment to another employee. But that being said, yours is a sign that is highly adept at settling personal differences. Your natural diplomacy and ability to communicate with humans will be your saving grace and keep you from acting rashly if you feel slighted while at the job site. Single Aquarius isn't a sign known for settling down, but you may have noticed that in the last year you have become progressively more open to the idea of a lasting relationship. Well be prepared, Aquarius: This year you'll find the prospect of kinship even more enticing, and these feelings will start right at the beginning of the year. Also, there's a good chance that your friends and loved ones will start to actively play the matchmaker role, setting you up with a bevy of potential mates. Hope you like blind dates, Aquarius!

In Love Aquarians who are already in a relationship will feel distinct urges telling them to settle down even further than they already are. Those who are dating more than one person at a time will start to consider going steady with one partner, while those who are already dating exclusively will start to see that relationship blossom and grow ever deeper. Challenges to this relationship will come later in the year, but why dwell on that now when everything is going so well? January will be smooth sailing for you, so simply enjoy the ride. Finances Overall, your financial outlook for 2014 will be much more promising than 2013, but it won't appear that way for the first couple months of the year. This isn't to say that January will be a particularly rough month on your income, but on the same token there won't be any great financial boon to write home about. Things could always be worse, though, and if you can tough it out through the rest of Winter you will have plenty of monetary blessings to be happy about as the year progresses. Health Backaches and other general stiffness may be a problem this month, and you will want to combat this to make sure that you don't miss out on anything important this month while you're laid up on the couch. Stretching, hot baths, and yoga are all good ways to keep your muscles limber and pliable, but you may want to look into your sleeping arrangements as well: Few things can wreak havoc on your back as quickly as an uncomfortable mattress. If your bed consists of just such a mattress, it's time to make a change.

12 Pisces - 19 Feb to 20 Mar:

Knight of Cups

Work/Career Pisces make great workers because of their self-discipline. They tend to feel badly when they're having too much fun and not being productive. But this month, with Jupiter in your sixth house, you'll be able to let loose and have a good time for once. Coworkers may be surprised to find you laughing, enjoying yourself, and (GASP) even taking it easy. Sure, goofing off can be bad if it becomes a habit, but you remember what they say about all work and no play. Single Jupiter will have a similar effect on your love life. Rather than staying home and seeing to tasks that need to be finished, you'll be able to relax enough to enjoy the more entertaining things in life. And this is a good thing. It can be downright impossible to find love if you don't make the effort to seek it out now and then, and this is a month in which you'll be able to be yourself and have a good time, which is always conducive to meeting new people and forming attachments. In Love Pisces in a relationship will begin to feel a warmer, more intimate kinship with their partners. This isn't to say that your sign is bereft of emotion and intimacy; on the contrary, Pisces are very free with their feelings, especially with their partners. But cuddling and sweetness are not always a given when it

comes to people under your sign. This month, your partner will be pleased to find you displaying intimate emotions that don't revolve around crying or negativity. This has the potential to help you and your partner grow even closer to one another. Finances There will be some opportunities this month that will allow you to make small, incremental gains to your financial well-being. But take these chances with a grain of salt and a bit of foresight: Some of them run the risk of damaging your overarching monetary goals, and if you're not careful you could jeopardize future earnings (of a much larger and profitable nature) for chump change in the present. Sure, in today's economy it can be hard to resist any extra income, but this is where that Pisces acuity will come in handy. Health Weight gain is a risk that is likely to rear its head this month, so be careful about your caloric intake. Eating out is particularly risky, as most restaurants still refuse to put the nutritional value of their food on display. But even home-cooked meals (especially ones consisting of starches) have the potential to add inches to your waistline. Remember to keep your consumption in moderation and, if you can manage it, start an exercise routine or keep the current one going. With any luck you'll be able to make it through January with the same pant size that you started out with.
