Your Personal Horoscope 2015: Month-by-month forecasts for every sign

(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, these perspectives were identical. But now there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)

Twenty eleven and 2012 were stressful health years. Things are much improved these days however. You still have two long-term planets stressing you out, but the other long-term planets are either helping you or leaving you alone. Furthermore, when Jupiter enters your 6th house of health and work on August 11 there will be good fortune in health matters. If there has been a health problem you should start hearing good news about it. Health should be good this year.

Good though your health should be, you can make it even better. Give more attention to the following areas (the reflexes are shown in the chart): the head, face and scalp; the adrenals; the heart; the lungs, small intestine, arms, shoulders and respiratory system; and the liver and thighs – the most vulnerable areas in the year ahead.

The head, face and scalp are always important for you and regular face and scalp massage is always powerful. Craniosacral therapy is good too. When you massage the face and scalp you’re not only strengthening those areas (on the energetic level) but it’s as if you are giving the entire body an energy boost. The head and face contain reflexes to the entire body.

The adrenals, too, are always important for you. You can see the reflexes in our chart. It is good to avoid anger and fear as these are the two emotions that stress the adrenals. Also avoid worry, the spiritual root cause of heart problems. Heart action can be erratic these days: sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow. The reflexes to the heart are also shown above.

The lungs, small intestine, arms, shoulders and respiratory system are usually important for you and this year is no different. Arms and shoulders should be regularly massaged. Acupuncture or acupressure treatments along the lung and small intestine meridian would be wonderful. The liver and thighs become important from August 11 onwards. Thighs should be regularly massaged. Liver detoxing (there are many natural herbal ways to do this) might be a good idea.

Jupiter in your 6th house indicates that you will benefit from metaphysical kinds of therapies – prayer and such like. It shows the importance of your personal philosophy of health and disease. If health problems arise (God forbid) it would be good to examine your philosophical concepts about health, and maybe revise them in a better way.

In general, your personal philosophy of life is important healthwise. Even if you have good health concepts, if there are other areas in your personal philosophy which are in error, these could manifest as a health problem. Philosophical purity is always a good thing, but this year it is an actual health issue.

Uranus, as we have mentioned, has been in your sign for some years now. This indicates a tendency to experiment with the body – to test its limits. This is basically good. The body is capable of a lot more than any of us think – the yogis affirm that the body is essentially infinite. However, this testing of the body’s limits needs to be done safely and mindfully. Disciplines such as yoga, martial arts or tai chi are safe ways to do this. Otherwise there could be a tendency to indulge in daredevil-type stunts and injury could result.

There are many short-term health trends, as Mercury, your health planet, is a fast-moving planet. These short-term trends are best discussed in the monthly reports.

Home and Family

Your 4th house of home and family was strong during the past two years, but not this year. Many of you have moved, renovated or acquired additional homes over the past few years. By now your goals have been achieved and the year ahead seems to be a quiet one. The cosmos is not pushing you one way or another. You have free will to do what you like – but perhaps not the interest. With Uranus in your 1st house you seem more nomadic this year. You will be in different places for long periods of time.

If you’re planning to redecorate, in cosmetic kinds of ways, or buying art objects for the home, May 8 to June 5 is a good time. However, if you’re planning major renovations or construction projects, June 24 to August 9 would be a good time for this kind of work.

Aries women of childbearing age have been unusually fertile the past few years and the trend continues in the year ahead. But all Aries will be more focused on children or children figures this year. Children or children figures in your life will have a basically good year. They seem successful and optimistic, enjoying the good life. Many are travelling this year. They seem happy-go-lucky and prosperous. If they are of an appropriate age, they too seem unusually fertile. Children could move – and this seems a happy aspect – after August 11.

A parent figure in your life is reinventing him or herself; this has been going on for a while. He or she could have had surgery and/or near-death kinds of experiences in the past few years, and there are still tendencies to this in the year ahead. He or she will benefit greatly from detox regimes.

Siblings or sibling figures in your life are likely to move or renovate the home from August 11 onwards. And parents or parent figures have been moving a lot in recent years and could do so again. Perhaps there have been multiple renovations of the home. They seem restless and nomadic, living in different places for long periods of time. Their moods seem highly unstable. Mood swings are extreme and swift.

Your family planet is the Moon – the fastest-moving of all the planets. Thus there are many short-term trends – depending on where the Moon is and the aspects she receives – that are best dealt with in the monthly reports.

Finance and Career

The year ahead looks prosperous, but your money house is not a house of power. This could be a financial weakness. Perhaps you’re not paying enough attention. You will have to force yourself to focus here.

Jupiter’s presence in your 5th house until August 11 shows luck in speculations. Some of you might want to invest small sums on the lottery or in some other kind of speculations. Of course you should only do this under intuition and not blindly or automatically. The cosmos has many ways to supply you.

If you are in the creative arts there is good fortune now. Your creativity is marketable and successful.

Jupiter moves into your 6th house of work on August 11, which indicates happy job changes. In some cases it indicates the landing of a dream job; in other cases it shows a happy job change within the present company. Your ability to be productive is greatly increased in the year ahead and this usually translates into more money.

The spouse, partner or current love has had a difficult two years financially – there’s been much reorganization going on. This year there is great improvement in this area. Saturn will mostly be out of his or her money house (except for three months); furthermore, Jupiter will start to make beautiful aspects to his or her financial planet from August 11 onwards. This shows a prosperous year ahead, from August onwards. The children or children figures in your life are also prospering greatly.

There is inheritance in this chart. Hopefully no one has to actually die. Perhaps you are named in someone’s will or appointed to some administrative position in an estate.

The year ahead also appears good for paying down debt or for taking on loans – depending on your need. Most of you will have increases in your line of credit. You have easier access to outside capital. If you have good ideas, this is a good year (from August 11 onwards) to attract financial backing.

If you are involved in estates or insurance claims, there is good fortune from August 11 onwards.

Favourable financial numbers are 2, 3, 7 and 9.

Saturn, your career planet, shifts back and forth between two signs this year – it zigzags. And this pretty much describes the career. Until June 15 Saturn will be in Sagittarius, your 9th house. This shows success and elevation, and expanded career horizons. It indicates career opportunities in foreign lands or with foreign companies. (There are job opportunities in foreign lands too, after August 11.) It also shows increased business-related travel. In fact, your willingness to travel is important in your career advancement.

With Pluto stuck in your 10th house of career for many years now, there are dramas with bosses and people involved in your career. They could be having surgery, or near-death kinds of experiences. Perhaps you are having career ‘near-death’ experiences. Always keep in mind that after ‘death’ comes ‘resurrection’. The career will be renewed.

Love and Social Life

Your 7th house of love is not a house of power this year, and this indicates that things will tend to remain the same. Married couples tend to stay married and singles tend to stay single.

With the 7th house basically empty (only the short-terms planets will move through there in the year ahead) there could be a tendency to ignore the love life, to not give it the attention it deserves. This would be a mistake. For as we mentioned this area of life brings great fulfilment in the year ahead. You have to force yourself to pay attention here even when you don’t feel like it.

If you are single, working towards your first marriage, you are probably happy staying single. Marriage is not seen here. However, there are hot love affairs happening. You might not marry, but there is no shortage of love. June and July seems especially active in this department.

If you are working towards your second marriage there will be an opportunity in June and July, but I’m not so sure that this will lead to marriage. It would be best not to rush into anything. Let love develop naturally.

If you are working towards your third marriage, romance (and perhaps even marriage) is in the air. It could have happened last year, but if not, the year ahead (especially until August 11) is excellent.

One of the challenges in love is Uranus in your 1st house. We have written about this in previous years but the trend is still very much in effect. Uranus in the 1st house gives a passion for personal freedom. Freedom trumps relationships. A committed relationship is, by definition, a limitation of personal freedom and this is the problem. The ideal lover is someone who will give you lots of space, lots of freedom, within the relationship.

Those involved with an Aries in a romantic way should take note. Give your Aries lover as much freedom as possible so long as it isn’t destructive. Try doing unconventional, zany things together. Try being friends with your Aries lover, not just a lover. With Uranus in their 1st house, Aries is into friendship these days. They are comfortable in that role.

In that department – friendships – the year ahead seems very happy and active. Friends seek you out, there is nothing much that you need to do. You seem very involved with groups and group activities – these too seek you out. New and important friendships are happening this year (and this was so last year too).

Parents and parent figures are having a static, stable love year.

Children or children figures of the appropriate age experience serious love this year. If they are single they could get married, or have a relationship that is ‘like’ a marriage. Grandchildren of an appropriate age also find love this year.

Siblings and sibling figures are having their relationships tested this year. If they are single they are not likely to marry.

Favourable numbers for love are 3, 7 and 11.

Self-improvement

Saturn has been in your 8th house of transformation and regeneration for two years now and spends another few months there in the year ahead. Whatever your age and stage in life, your libido has not been up to its usual standard. From the astrological perspective this is not so much a health issue, more of a cosmic one. The cosmos has been putting the sexual life into right order. If sexual expression has been too low, Saturn increased it. If it has been too much (which is usually the case) Saturn clamped down on it. Sex in many ways is like eating. We need to eat enough – not too much, not too little, just the right amount. Many of you have learned that quality sex is better (and healthier) than mere quantity. Better less sex but good sex than hosts of mediocre experiences.

Saturn will spend most of the coming year in your 9th house of religion, philosophy and higher education. For college students this indicates a need to buckle down and work hard. There are no free rides this year. Focus on your studies. Do the work that is needed. Bear down. Non-students will have their religious and philosophical beliefs tested, as we have mentioned. Your belief system is getting a reality check. Many of us are holding beliefs that are just not correct. Many of us look at the world in a false way and attribute meanings to phenomena that aren’t so. This is a year where you learn about this. Generally reality checks are not pleasant, but great good will come of it. As you let go of false, or only partially true, beliefs, new and better ones will come in. And the whole life will improve because of that.

Philosophy, as we have mentioned many times, is much more important than psychology. A person’s philosophy will shape and mould the psychology. Philosophy is cause, psychology is effect. So what’s going on now (and for the next two years), is very important.

Aries generally have a strong sense of self-esteem. But lately, with the Moon’s south node in your 1st house, your self-esteem has not been what it should. There is a feeling of deficiency here. Often when this happens, people over-compensate and become over-bearing and excessively arrogant. Avoid this trap like the plague. There is a correct way to attain healthy self-esteem. This is by recognizing that you are a son or daughter of the Most High – an immortal spiritual being incarnated in a body. You are not your body or personality, but the being that uses these things for its own purposes. A good meditation for this is, ‘I AM AN IMMORTAL BEING OF LIGHT, I AM ONE WITH GOD, IN PERFECT UNION AND HARMONY WITH THE UNIVERSE.’

Repeat this a few times a day to yourself, and especially when you feel low. The more time you spend with this meditation, the better.
