Aries – You may feel as though you are carrying a very heavy burden. If you look carefully you may find that part of the burden you are carrying emotionally actually belongs to someone else. You will be working very hard, personally and professionally this year, and could use a break. Give yourself one. If you are looking for a position without much success, do not lose heart. Keep trying, and you cannot fail. There will be something in your relationships which needs to be examined, looked at, and considered. “Expect the best, but plan for the worst”. Avoiding the problems will not make them disappear. Be creative in your problem-solving and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it. Stress may have taken a serious toll on your body, but there are things that you can do to re-build. First of all, calm down. Secondly, be sure that you are getting adequate rest and sleep. Massage and vacation will work wonders. Don’t be afraid to reach out for assistance if you need it. But you also have to learn when enough is enough, and when it is time to get out from under your burdens.

Taurus – What you are hoping for or dreaming about most is very likely to be yours. Good luck that you hadn’t counted on could be yours. If you have a big dream, or are working on a project that has been stalled, this could be the year that it moves forward finally. If you’ve been interviewing for a job, this could be the time that the one you were really hoping for finally comes through. A very good omen for your love life. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s very possible that it will deepen and become better and sweeter. If you’re single, this is a great time to meet people. The financial situation you are visualizing may well come to pass, although probably not exactly in the way that you wished for it to do. In general this is likely to be a very serene year in the context of your health. Trust yourself. Dream big, then take steps to make them come about.

Gemini – Things would be going well. You can look forward to at least one pleasant reunion with someone or something that you have been apart from for some time. It also can mean celebration, your own or someone that you care about like a celebration around a new baby, wedding, or other happy occasion. A good omen with regard to work. Money should be coming in, you could be coming into a new job and/or a promotion. If you are looking for work, you would be quite successful at how well things work out for you. So don’t give up. You will likely meet a love soon, someone who really “fits the bill” of the person you are looking for. This is an important time to not be too attached to money. This is a great time to consider what you are doing and should be doing to increase your health and vitality. Do you need more exercise? More rest? Think it through, and come up with a game plan. You can do better. It may be important now, particularly if you usually attend to your spiritual side in solitude, to reach out to others.

Cancer – It’s important not to spend too much time and effort thinking about the “good old days”. Rather spend time working on “good new days”. This is an excellent time for work that involves some level of creativity. If your work does not, make a point to spend a little time drawing, painting, or writing whatever you fancy that allows a little creativity in your personal time. Your day job will go better for you as a result. A relationship may need to be “refocused” toward the future. Talk about your goals and dreams. Try new things. It’s important now not to be stuck in the past. If you’re looking for ways to invest money, or to make a little extra money, pay particular attention to things that appeal to children. Money may come to you from someone from your past or through inheritance. To understand health problems this year, you may need to truly go back to childhood to examine where the roots of your physical problems might lie. Talk therapy may be very useful.

Leo – A very positive omen. It can indicate that despite the challenges you are facing, you will overcome them and come out on top. Happiness and celebration are on the cards this year. You will see some results for your hard work and efforts. Give yourself a break or treat yourself in some way. If you’re looking for a new work position, this is a very positive time. You will find something that is better than you dared hope. If you’re currently in a position that you want to stay in, things are about to get even better. Your efforts are valued. In a marriage, things are looking up. Suddenly, you are likely to find yourself feeling closer and happier with your partner than ever before. Things will be going much better for you financially soon. Regardless of what is happening all around you, things are going to be on the upswing for you financially. If you’re worried about health, relax. Things are not as bad as you think them to be. Get rest. You will be the reason of happiness for many people.

Virgo – You may feel over-burdened this year. The first and best step is often to take a deep breath and calm down. Don’t let the things you are worried about overwhelm you. Take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, if you must. At least some of your worries will very likely turn out to be imaginary. If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask for it. Things may be tense at work. Try not to contribute to the tension; think before you speak, be calm and unruffled as possible on the surface, at least. Get clear about the things you can and cannot control and try to give very little “mind-space” to the latter. Do your best and things will very likely be well. Try to give your beloved some breathing space. Both need to do their own thing. Worry, stress, and anxiety is very likely to be affecting your life now. Be sure that you are treating yourself as well as you can- balance in exercise, food and water intake, and getting adequate rest. Breathing exercises and meditation are particularly useful for you now. Focus on the positive. Write down things that you are grateful for. Surround yourself with positive people. You will soon have the answers that you seek. You may not be very inclined to discipline yourself now, but even so, now is a time that discipline will help you meet your spiritual goals. You have the strength within you to get where you want to be.

Libra – A very positive year. You are going to get a great deal accomplished successfully in a short period of time. If you are looking for work, a woman will help you to find employment. All in all, things will be looking up professionally. Your relationships will flourish. Get out, mingle, trust yourself and the universe to bring you the love and support you want and need. You may be tempted to get carried away buying things, exercise moderation or you may come to regret your expenditures. Your energy level and vitality should be good, and again, if pregnancy is a possibility for you, whether you’re ready or not, you could very well conceive soon. So if you are not in for it, take the appropriate precautions. Take your time, read and reflect, talk to lots of people before making huge life changes.

Scorpio – Your card for this year signifies a break (or need for a break) from normal life. This can also mean that you or someone in your life may withdraw for a time. This withdrawal is not likely to be permanent. You are needing some time and space to yourself. Others may be pushing too hard for bits of your time and attention. Don’t hesitate to draw boundaries for yourself or to say no. Likewise, when others say no to you, take them at their word. This is a great time to take some time off from work if you can. You need a break and some perspective. Things are not likely to be going as you would like them to be. Don’t take this personally or try to push harder. Sometimes we just need to be patient with the process. If you can’t stand the need for patience, perhaps the time has come to start looking for another position. It will be important to let your partner know what is going on inside. It may be that you simply need some time apart. Don’t hesitate to take it. You may need to take a different course of action if you are behind in your payments and are not sure where the money is going to be coming from. Think through ways to bring in extra money. If you have your own business, and are owed money, step up your collection process. If you can, consider a small donation to a cause that you believe in, if you can do this with joy in your heart – this often opens up the flow of prosperity in your life. Your health may not be all that you would like it to be, on the other hand, it is doubtless better than that of many other people. Be grateful for what you have. You need to slow down and take it easy. ‘Me’ time will be very important for you this year.

Sagittarius – Your financial worries are over for a while, and things in general will be going better than you thought possible. Enjoy this good energy, and share your wealth and happiness with others. You will have a great deal to be proud of and hopeful about. You’ll be in the position to help those less fortunate than yourself. If you’re looking for a position, expect a better job coming your way than you would have thought possible. Even if you’re currently employed, expect a change for the better. You’ll have a lot to be grateful for. If you’re currently committed, you can expect the relationship to raise to new heights of closeness and joy. If you’re unattached, someone new who has deep love could be headed your way very soon. Your financial cycle is likely to improve. Work hard.  Share what you have. This too is key. A very encouraging year with regard to health. You would be feeling full of vitality. If you’re waiting on test results, they will likely come back in your favor. You are likely to be feeling a great deal of spiritual peace and happiness. You are in the position now to mentor others.

Capricorn – This year you are likely to top in any sort of competitive exam you appear for. You would be feeling good, and projects should be moving right along. Your card this year indicates that a change is coming, a positive change in your personal or business life. You will feel more independent and think for yourself. If you’ve ever wanted to be self-employed, 2017 is the time to give this a great deal of thought and to do your homework. Be logical, however. If you can start your business while still employed elsewhere, it makes sense to do so. If you are already committed, don’t hesitate to speak your mind to your beloved. Expect an increase in finances. Be sensible with how you use and invest this money. Think long-term. You may worry unnecessarily about your health. Even when facing serious health challenges, a positive attitude can work wonders. Trust your instincts. This year throw away your fears and go whatever your clear desires.

Aquarius – Your card for this year indicates a new beginning of some sort in your life, possibly on several fronts. Sometimes this new beginning can be started by a separation of some kind – from a relationship, or from a job situation. At work you will ultimately get the credit for anything good that you bring to the table. The credit might not be instantaneous. You are ready to start something new, and if you’re currently in a committed relationship,  there’s something about this relationship that you will choose to put a stop to. Don’t hesitate to speak your mind. Tell the truth. When it comes to finances, now is not the time to take chances with money. Don’t invest any money that you couldn’t afford to lose. In terms of health, you will stop some bad habits that you know are bad for you. Physical exercise is particularly important now, but don’t overdo it. You may finally let go of a belief system which actually hasn’t worked for you for some time.

Pisces – It will be important for you to keep your balance in every way that you can – like eating right and getting enough rest. Be mindful of the give-and-take required for all successful relationships. Work is about to get a lot smoother, and if you’re looking for employment, you are about to find the right fit. Don’t let anyone discourage you. If you’re already in a relationship, it’s about to get a lot more equal. If you’re looking for love, someone who could be very good for you is already likely part of your life. Don’t judge a book by its cover. If someone is interested in you, give them a chance. This relationship could be just what you’re looking for. Your income is moving towards a better state of balance. You are likely to be pleasantly surprised by how much you can improve your financial situation. Your health is most likely in better shape than you fear. A spiritual partnership with just one other person may be greatly beneficial to you this year. Remember too that you are also always spiritually in partnership with yourself as well.
