2006 Horoscope

Hey there, time traveller!

ARIES

March 21- April 19

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” — Nelson Mandela (1918-)

The envelope, please…

Aries begins with the Vernal Equinox. Yes, you’re Numero Uno. You start things. (Let’s not talk about finishing.) You’re determined, a straight arrow and passionate. You succeed because you have motivation and will. You hate boredom; you explore the unknown. You don’t take anything lying down (uh, except for… you know). Life is a grand experiment. Your courage and bravery are genuine, yet you’re sweet, sentimental, and loyal to friends. You do things with zest; and you’re marvellous with your hands. (You build, sew, knit, garden, cook, draw, paint, carve, explore, invent and give great massage.) You’re the warrior hero of the zodiac. You look fabulous in shades. We love your hats and zany wardrobe (but zebra pants?).

This year

Lately you’ve been hemorrhaging cash like there’s no tomorrow. Your money scene has improved, but it would look better if you cut back on your plastic. (Put your credit cards on the bottom of your ice cube tray. This freezes impulse spending.) The good news is moneybags Jupiter in Scorpio means other people are good to you this year! Gifts, goodies and favours, including extended hospitality and the use of other people’s possessions, come to you all through 2006. If you’re in a partnership, your partner will earn more. Many will receive an inheritance. It’s as if the universe owes you a favour! That’s not all: your gonads are in overdrive. Sex will be wonderful. (The last time it was this good was 1994. Isn’t it fun having fun?)

Is the future like the present only longer?

You’re making money, spending money, enjoying yourself, and benefiting from the generosity of others. But privately, you still wonder what you want to be when you grow up. By the end of 2006, you’ll encounter a Herculean task. That’s when the grind begins. Expect to work hard in 2007-’08. At times you’ll feel overwhelmed. But the end result is a new, improved you. Rewards will come to you on a silver platter then. You’ll make new insights about yourself. A shift in your belief system might occur. Your physical body will be strong. You’ll throw off illness, and improve your physical appearance. By 2007, fabulous opportunities connected with publishing, the media, the legal system, and medicine will arise. Some will go back to school. Most will travel because you’ll have the chance to do so.

In a galaxy far, far away…

About three years from now, you’re going to step up to the plate and demand attention. “Director on the set!” Your hard work starts to bring tangible benefits and recognition. The only downside is the stress your success brings to relationships. You’re so dialled into your career, you’re distracted from your partner’s complaints, “Hey, what am I? Chopped liver?” At that point, you have to decide whether to have liver and onions or move on to something else.

My mantra for 2006

I deserve the generosity coming my way this year — strings or no strings.

Be the best you can be

In this world of specialization, people distrust those who are good at many things. They dismiss your expertise if you’ve had no formal training. They also dismiss your future claims because of that trail of unfinished projects in your wake. (So what? Call them works in progress.) You really are as good as you suspect you are! Fact. Your sign was the first to do it all. Aries is not a pioneer, you are THE pioneer. You discover the way, and the rest of us follow. You fight for what is right. You defend the just. You sway the fence sitters. You teach others to have the courage of their convictions. People fear change. You show us how to embrace new beginnings. You teach leadership by demonstrating independent thinking, courage and action. (Where do I sign?)

Stuff Every Self-Respecting Aries Knows

Your ruling planet is Mars. Your animal is the Ram; and your astrological colour is Red. Aries is “Masculine” and your element is Fire; and you’re a Cardinal sign. (The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. They’re the signs of the changing seasons — the switch hitters. They initiate things. They’re idea people. They make things happen.) There are disagreements about gemstones; so I’m not even going there. Naturally, you rule the First House. And who’s surprised to learn that Aries rules the head and the adrenals? Did you know that the best place for the Sun to be is in Aries? You could say this means you’re the best sign! (Don’t quote me on that — I’ll deny it.)

Aries in the Bedroom

You love a good romp in the hay! You enjoy sex and you’re not afraid to make the first move. (Yes, you’re shy. It’s complicated, isn’t it?) You love adventure and fresh discovery. Since you like to win, you love the chase, which inevitably leads to conquest. You’re confused about relationships because you love your freedom, yet you adore babies (coochie-coo!). You hang where the action is — anything from a dude ranch to parties, live music, art exhibitions and sporting events. You like things up-tempo. You adore playing kissyface and smooching. Not only are you energetic, you have endurance! (Mars rules the muscles.) This year your sex drive is more amped than it’s been in over a decade. Wooha!

April 20 – May 20

“We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.” — Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

2006 Taurus Forecast

The Envelope Please…

Whenever I tell a Taurus, “You like good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live,” you invariably reply, “Doesn’t everybody?” Not so! You love your creature comforts! You appreciate fine things: antiques and old wood. You like good food (but you’re not a snob.) You have your fave places for bread, meat, croissants and bagels. You’re not a spendthrift: you’re practical. When you buy something you want it to last. You read newspapers. You like history. You collect things. You enjoy music, fashion, gardening, farming and you love the beauty of nature. You’re easygoing and rarely get angry because those few times when you do — it’s devastation! You safeguard your security, which is assured because you’re financially wise. You want land. You like to wrap yourself in cash.

Your Shady Past

You worked hard in the early ’80s; and by 1984, you started to steer your own course. (This might have ended partnerships.) By 1991, graduation, success and accomplishment made you proud. In the mid-’90s however, you suffered a loss. Not easy. The year 1999 was definitely a new beginning for you. By 2001, your financial scene started to improve; and in 2003-04, you felt better about home, family and real estate. Job changes and residential moves took place then along with renovations, decorating and rebuilding. You started to enjoy life more! Vacations, creative projects and the enjoyment of children were rewarding. (Tauruses are great parents.) Recently, your job improved. Great! Life is too short to be in a job you hate.

Which brings us to 2006

This year your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to solidify your home base. You need a solid anchor in the world. One thing that will promote this in the year ahead is enriched partnerships. Your relations with others will you benefit you throughout 2006. One-to-one encounters will illuminate new aspects of yourself. People will help you. This is a good year for any kind of professional assistance (legal, medical and practical.) You might meet someone whose background is different from yours. Intimate relationships will have a consciousness-expanding effect. Those who marry will mate with someone older or more established. (You’re laughing all the way to the bank.) The last time this happened was in 1994. In many ways, 2006 is a time of culmination. You will succeed at many things and somehow expand your life. However, do not limit your focus to material satisfaction. This year is a turning point in your internal world. If you keep staring at the door that closed, you’ll miss the one that is opening.

Is the future like the present only longer?

Life is getting better! In 2007, you will inherit, or gain through the wealth of others. Your partner’s wealth will benefit you. Hey — your sex life gets a happy boost too! This same year brings a welcome addition to family, a fabulous vacation, or both. You’ll have increased responsibilities with children either working with them or caring for them. However, at the same time, your creative vibes will be hot! It’s a good time to take a gamble. Neptune has been high in your chart since 1998, making you confused about long-term goals. You can’t see the mountaintop. Trust your sensible nature and natural perseverance. These qualities serve you well.

In a galaxy far far away

About seven years from now, you’ll step out onto the big stage. It will be liberating and yet scary. Your ambitions to reach for what you really want will grip you then. Partners will have to understand this. If they don’t, some relationships will end. The successes you experience in 2009 will give you the confidence to make this leap. Travel, publishing and education will delight you then. You will be empowered in 2012-13!

My Mantra for 2006

I am creating the home I want; and enjoying others in my life.

Be the best you can be

You’re a collector. Because you see what is worth saving, the rest of us are indebted to you. You understand historical continuity and precious treasures, be they antiques, examples of another era or part of a collection. Museums and galleries, plus charming family heirlooms exist because of you. What you build benefits those around you, and leaves a legacy for those who come after you. Yet despite your poetic, musical soul, you understand the world has real bellies to feed. Through your example you teach others how to build a firm foundation in this world. You’re sensible. You’re a haven in the storm. You’re the rock of stability in your family. Do not underestimate the quiet tower of strength you offer to the world. We need you.

Stuff Every Self-respecting Taurus Knows

You’re Taurus the Bull, ruled by Venus. You’re an Earth, Fixed sign. (The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. Fixed signs are determined, steadfast and self-reliant. They see things through to the end. They like tradition and boundaries. “What! No cranberry sauce with the turkey?”) Your sign is feminine, and it rules the Second House, which governs money and possessions. Astrologers disagree about colours and gemstones. But there is no doubt that Taurus rules the voice, throat, tongue and taste buds. You’re a great kisser with a lovely speaking and singing voice! (Think: Streisand, Orbison, Ella, Willie, McGraw, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Darin, Joey Ramone and more!) Guard against sore throats, gland problems and excess weight. (A minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips!)

Taurus in the Bedroom

You’re earthy, lusty, and sensual. You love your creature comforts and one of them is great sex. (Frequent great sex!) That’s because your sign rules the tactile senses. (Yuuuummy!) You know how to touch and be touched. Your suggestive whispers are mesmerizing. You purr when nuzzled in the neck. You’re the easiest sign to live with, and you’re fabulous in bed. Hey — what a batting average! You love the best in life. Music, candles, strawberries, chocolate, fine wine, cigars, tropical beaches, high thread-count sheets and well-oiled skin. You’re both ardent and patient. You need lots of hugging. Money in the bank makes you even more huggable! (Go$h.)

GEMINI

May 21 – June 20

“The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail.” — Anonymous

2006 Gemini Forecast

The Envelope Please…

You’re forever young. You’re playful, quick-witted and puckish. You like games, puzzles, crosswords, maps, compasses, pens, globes, magnifying glasses, clocks, telescopes, and bright, shiny objects in brass (preferably Swiss.) You’re curious about anything (for five minutes.) You adore novelty, gossip, and fascinating data. You can outtalk, outthink and outmanoeuvre everyone. That’s because your ruler Mercury has all the superlatives: it’s the smallest, hottest, fastest and closest to the sun. You’re talented with your hands. You like languages. You multitask. You write, teach, sell and promote. You’re technically proficient. You snack on finger food. You scan magazines and buy books you hope to read. You’d take smart pills if you could. You want to know everything!

Your Shady Past

You worked hard in the mid-’80s. Fortunately, by 1987-88, the world started to take you seriously. (But partnerships were rough.) In fact, in the late ’80s, you experienced loss (or a partner quit work.) Fortunately, 1989 was a good year. Travel and educational opportunities came your way. By 1991-93, things were lookin’ sweet! Your domestic scene improved, and by 1994 you were in the game. (“Count me in.”) Nevertheless, as the millennium approached, yikes, once again you experienced losses and farewells. In fact, you gave up a lot before a whole new scene in 2001. Thankfully, things improved. (Everything is temporary, even tough times.) You were a high roller in 2002. You felt flush then. “Keep the change.”

Which brings us to 2006

It’s a good thing you like change. (You don’t do boring.) There’s a window between 2005 and 2008 where residential moves and job changes are practically inevitable. This period is a state of flux. Since 2001, not only have you been in a new sandbox, at a deeper level, you’ve been redefining who you are and how you relate to the world. Now the “new you” is almost finished (“Stick a fork in me Lord, I’m done.”) but not quite. You have to hone and refine the last touches: how you talk, think, communicate and even listen. That’s why your daily milieu is changing. Capice? The changes around you shape your thinking and communicating style. Fortunately, your health and your employment scene are beautifully blessed. The support you need to swing these changes will be there for you.

Is the future like the present, only longer?

Around 2007-08, you might move again. If you don’t move, you’ll renovate, repair and fix up where you live. That’s because a few years from now, you’re going to establish a firm anchor for yourself on this planet. You want a refuge. (With a library.) In addition to your determination to make this happen, partnerships will benefit you at that time, and this will also help you. Around 2008, you might receive an inheritance. You will certainly benefit from the wealth of others then. At this same time (2007-08) you’ll have increased joy and happiness in your family. Your real estate will increase in value. You’ll have a warm feeling in your tummy about home sweet home. Soon after, vacations, love affairs, romance and children bring delights. (It is to laugh.)

In a galaxy far far away…

About four years from now, your career gets a fabulous blessing. All kinds of opportunities will come to you then. But it will also be a time of hard work. You’ll want to give everything your best shot, because around 2011-12, you’re finally going to get recognition for your efforts. That will be the first time since 1999 that you surface back into the world in a big way. Seven years from now, lucky Jupiter returns to your sign. And things just get better after that. Salute!

My Mantra for 2006

I handle change with ease. Watch me!

Be the best you can be

You tend to look outside yourself for the right job, the right person, the right home, the right fame, money or accomplishment to bring you happiness. But it doesn’t work that way. If it did — people with those things would be happy — and they’re not. Furthermore, you fear commitment in case someone/something better comes along. And here’s the kicker. You’re right! Someone better will come along. Why? Because there’s no end to better. There will always be taller, richer, happier, prettier, bigger, better, whatever. That’s reality. Your salvation and greatest challenge is contentment. Start nursing delusions of adequacy. Appreciate who you are and what you have. Then, when you value who you are and what you have — go teach the rest of us how to do it. You have the ability to stimulate the mental growth of others. Curiosity is contagious! The rest of the world relies on you to get the information out. (Oh wise one.)

Stuff Every Self-respecting Gemini Knows

You’re an Air sign ruled by Mercury and your symbol is the Twins. Your sign is feminine and Mutable. (The Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. They blend. They fit in. They style, flex and morph to whatever’s going on. They’re versatile and adaptable. “Are we packing tropical?”) Gemini rules the hands, arms, lungs and the nervous system. And, of course, the Third House of Writing, Communicating, Siblings and Everyday Events. (I won’t mention gemstones and colours because they’re disputed.) Suffice to remember that Mercury rules communications, ground transportation and everyday tasks. The twin aspect makes you like two of things — houses, cars, even lovers. Guard against arthritis, eczema, chest infections and asthma.

Gemini in the Bedroom

You like lip activity without calorie content. (You kiss for hours!) But let’s not forget Gemini rules the hands. (All 10 digits.) Nevertheless, what you seek first is a meeting of the minds. You want someone bright and clever enough to appreciate how bright and clever you are. Words are everything: love notes, cards, e-mails, lipstick on the bathroom mirror, puns, risqué jokes and after-sex musings. Your partner must be entertaining. (Broad-minded too, because you’re kinky: two is company, three is an orgy.) You’re flirtatious and expressive. You need an intelligent, easygoing companion who appreciates you. You think of yourself as loyal (but you like your peanut gallery.) After all, variety is the spice of life — and yes, the Marquis de Sade was a naughty Gemini.

CANCER

June 21 – July 22

“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” — Victor Borge (1909-2000)

Cancer 2006 Forecast

The Envelope Please…

It’s been said you’re moody. (You heard the rumour?) But gawd, you’re funny! You’re a sensitive, down-home sign, who understands that humour is based on our foibles and fears. (Along with fellow Cancers Robin Williams, Will Ferrell and others.) But hey, what’s with the stuffed closets, cupboards, lockers and basements? You can’t let go of anything! (“I might use this someday.”) Six hundred Grolsh bottles? But you’re a great host. You can feed a small country with five minutes notice. You’re compassionate, sympathetic, hard working, tenacious, mechanical and protective. You nurture plants, people, and the land. You like cosy. You can operate two cameras and a boat while you garden, cook and entertain. And you’re practical. You know a New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.

Your Shady Past

In the early ’80s, you wanted to set down roots and establish stability for yourself. You worked hard (especially in 1987-88). However by 1989, relationships were stressed. Perhaps that was because you started to take your power then. The year 1990 was pretty good but by 1991-94, you lost support from others. But you were back on your feet by 1995, and looking swell in the next few years! Things got tough at the millennium when you gave up people, places and relationships. By 2003, you put yourself on a new track. This was easy. You’re not a sign that welcomes change. You feel most comfortable with what is thumb-suckingly familiar.

Which brings us to 2006

At this stage in your life, employment is a concern. You want to know what to do to earn a living. If you’re retired, then this concern runs a little deeper. It’s more than just how to earn money — it’s what to do with it. We’re talking basic values. You want to know what really matters. You don’t want to be looking in the mirror when you’re 88, muttering, “I blew it.” That’s your question. What horse do you bet on? Fortunately, 2006 is a beneficial time for home, family and real estate. You feel content and happy with your domestic scene (and it’s profitable year for real estate). Many of you will take a vacation or explore vacation property. Romance is also promising. Some will expand your families. (Pink or blue?) It’s no exaggeration to say this year might be one of the happiest years of your life.

Is the future like the present only longer?

It’s time to take stock of your life. You now have increased opportunities to enjoy life, have fun, explore romance, take a vacation, and tap into your creative potential (this includes making babies or being involved with children). But in another way, you have to grow up. (Don’t knock it.) Take a look at your life and your values to determine whether or not they work for you. Do you know what you want? If you don’t, how can you make good choices? You want to be happy. But do you know what makes you happy? Don’t wait until you lose something before you appreciate its value. You’re searching to discover what you need to be content. When you clearly define this to yourself, you’ll know what to do.

In a galaxy far, far away…

Even though this year is quite cushy, comfortable and emotionally and financially rewarding, by 2007 the winds of change start to blow. Around 2007-’09, most of you will feel a shift in your job or your residence or both. And about four years down the road, once again, you’ll be keen to establish a firm, permanent residence for your family. If you don’t change residence, then you’ll do major renovations or repairs at that time. However, your job scene looks great in 2007-’08. And relationships blossom beautifully in two to three years.

My Mantra for 2006

The more I let go, the more I have.

Be the best you can be

Peter Ustinov said, “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.” (He made commercials for American Express to pay off his American Express.) You’re the glue in the world. You keep the home fires burning. Your efforts hold family and friends together. You’re a healer at the most basic level. You feed others, literally, emotionally and psychologically. But you can fall into self-pity and depression by not recognizing how important your role is in other people’s lives. When you fail to see this, you withdraw. Ever wonder why you attract people who don’t understand their feelings? You provide an emotional support and outlet for them. You teach people how to understand, deal with and express their emotions. Pretty tall order. (“Can you pass me a Kleenex? And is there any more of that sweet potato pecan soufflé?”)

Stuff Every Self-Respecting Cancer Knows

Cancer the Crab is a Water sign ruled by the Moon. It is a Feminine Cardinal sign. (The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. They’re the signs of the changing seasons — the switch hitters. They initiate things and act on their ideas. They make things happen. “Let’s have a New Year’s party!”) Cancer rules the breasts, the esophagus and the stomach. (The kitchen is where it’s at.) The Fourth House is your domain and it rules Home, Family and Real Estate. Guard against diabetes, rheumatism, and chest or stomach problems. Your state of mind hugely affects these areas.

Cancer in the Bedroom

This is the best year for romance in over a decade, so use it! Do not delay. You’re overly cautious at the beginning. (The crab moves sideways, never forward.) You protect yourself. That’s OK. You’re allowed. We know you hate criticism; your feelings are easily hurt. Find a lover who knows you have a sensitive heart. After all, you’re in it for the long haul. Till death do we part. Joined at the hip and the bank. You need the reassurance of someone else’s steady love (which you fear you will never find). Once you have that, you’re so hooked, you’ll end up staying in the wrong relationship too long. (Every time.) Just remember: before you decide to fall hard for someone, ask yourself, have they paid off their student loan?
