2018 HIGHLIGHTS

2018 Cosmic Overview What’s in the Stars for All of Us?

C

shaping the mood of each year. Last year, Jupiter was in Libra, the sign of justice and balance. Jupiter rules cross-cultural and international relations, media, travel and higher education. We saw major shifts in global power and attacks on journalism’s credibility with “fake news” and “alternative facts.” Unjust travel bans made headlines—and ignited multiple lawsuits against the government. There were also record numbers of peaceful (Libra) protests, like the historic Women’s Marches around the globe and the airport rallies to decry the attempted “Muslim ban.”

ould sweet stability be in the stars in 2018? We’re cautiously optimistic, given the last few years of cosmic chaos. But a peek upstairs reveals a little more quiet than we’ve had in the past few years. By November, three planets (Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune) will be rooted in their “home” signs—meaning they will travel through the zodiac sign that they govern—a cycle that will last until December 2019. Effusive Jupiter will be in its native Sagittarius from November 8, 2018 until December 2, 2019; staunch Saturn is anchored in Capricorn until December 2020 and watery Neptune is in Pisces until 2024.

In 2018, the little things matter—a lot! Big-picture Jupiter will be in microfocused Scorpio until November 8, training our attention on the details. Themes of life and death, real estate, long-term finances, sex and power fall under Scorpio’s domain. Russia, North Korea, the European Union, the United States: Changing alliances will further reshuffle the global power structures. With truth-telling Jupiter in secretive Scorpio, we can expect more leaks and shocking reveals of “classified” information.

This is like getting a double-strength dose of what each planet rules: Jupiter’s optimism, Saturn’s pragmatism and Neptune’s compassion. Planets are happiest in their own domains, so here’s hoping we feel their alignment down here on Earth.

Jupiter in Scorpio & Sagittarius: Redefining power. Jupiter reveals where humanity will expand, take risks and evolve. Since it changes signs every 12 to 13 months, the spotted planet plays a huge hand in The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

2018 HIGHLIGHTS

manufacturing jobs return to the United States? We’ll find out in 2018. The Great Depression occurred while Saturn was in Capricorn from 1929 to 1932, and here’s hoping that we learn from the mistakes of yesteryear and keep our expectations— along with the stock market—grounded in reality.

November 8, international issues will take the spotlight. This entrepreneurial energy will also be a boon for startups and solopreneurs, as we’ll all crave more freedom. Travel, publishing and multicultural relationships will also be hot-button topics. Moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius is like changing your viewfinder from detail-focus to wide-angle. We’ll emerge from the intense depths and focus on broader, more worldly topics.  

Meanwhile, generous Jupiter hovers in Scorpio, the sign of joint ventures, mergers and pooled resources, until November. The sharing economy may boom, possibly out of necessity, as people look for creative ways to consolidate and cut costs. Real estate and lending is ruled by Scorpio. Housing prices could soar, making it a seller’s market. But with over-the-top Jupiter, the bubble might burst— and Scorpio’s influence could bring some sketchy deals back to market. From balloon mortgages to “no money down” loans, home buyers should be careful not to get in over their heads or repeat the mistakes of the 2008 crash.

Work & money in 2018: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Pluto step in. Get ready—the economy is going to go through some serious reforms in 2018. Several of the outer planets will travel through signs related to finance, power, corporations and shared resources, shifting the way business is conducted in some fundamental ways. Structured Saturn and shadowy Pluto will both spend the year in patriarchal Capricorn, ruler of big business, banks, the government and hierarchy. Saturn is here until December 2020, while transformational Pluto is touring Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. As these planetary power players inch along in the same sign, we may see a rise in monopolies but also a crackdown on scandals. Saturn is the “integrity cop” of the cosmos, exposing shady business.

Economic reform could be in the stars as revolutionary Uranus enters Taurus, the sign of money and daily work, for the first time since 1942! The side-spinning planet visits each sign for seven years, and it will be here from May 15, 2018 until April 2026. Unpredictable Uranus will shake up business as usual, revamping the way we spend, earn, save and invest. Innovation and technology will play a role—for example, we may see the rise of “cashless” businesses and the growing automation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

This year may also bring leaner times and corporate cutbacks. However, old-school Saturn in hardworking Capricorn could revive a bootstrapping work ethic. Will all of those promised The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

“Economic reform could be in the stars as revolutionary Uranus enters Taurus, the sign of money and daily work, for the first time since 1942, revamping the way we spend, save and invest.” unites in a langorous and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) with soul-stirring Neptune in May of 2018. The duo will both be traveling through emotional and receptive water signs (Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces) most of the year, opening our hearts.   The exact trine will culminate on May 25, but they’ll be in close contact from May until August. This rare and unifying cycle reminds us that, while we may be “divided” by cultures and nations, we are all one. This could be a banner moment for love, with merging-minded Scorpio and starryeyed Pisces in the mix. Don’t be surprised if you get more than your usual share of engagement or “we’re expecting!” announcements. But Jupiter and Neptune are freedom-lovers at heart. You can be sure that any news will come with an unconventional twist. (“Surprise! Our son was born via natural hypnobirthing in a yurt and we’re moving abroad to raise him on a collective farm.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)   Water, water everywhere—and not a drop to drink? On an international level, headlines could center on the global water crisis and the climate effects of rising temperatures. As polar ice caps melted, record high temperatures last winter caused unprecedented greenery to grow in both the North and South poles. Huge swaths of the world lives without clean water. Recent statistics from Water. org show that one in ten people (663 million) lack

Neptune in Pisces: Artistic & spiritual renaissance. Countering all of this money and work-driven energy, dreamy Neptune continues floating through its home sign of Pisces from 2012 to 2026. Neptune’s touch is evident in the booming wellness movement. Yoga, meditation, crystals, retreats—all things “woo” have become decidedly mainstream as Neptune nears the halfway point of its journey. (Anyone for a $14 cold-pressed, geminfused juice brewed with activated charcoal?) Creative, compassionate Neptune champions the arts and spurs social activism. The shadow expression of Neptune is secrecy and illusion. From brewing political scandals to genocide to ISIS, this cycle has also exposed some hidden horrors in the world.  

Jupiter-Neptune Trine: Global healing and compassion.

Could peace finally come to our world—at least, in some small way? An awakening of higher consciousness and compassion might arise this spring, when cross-cultural ambassador Jupiter The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

access to safe drinking water and 2.4 billion don’t have proper sanitation. Since abundant Jupiter magnifies whatever it touches and Neptune rules the seas, we may see an ocean-related weather surge near these dates.   Since 2012, the outer planets have been making a series of challenging aspects (angles), which has shaken up business as usual. Since the large, slow-moving outer planets shape generational and global trends, everything from politics to culture has been impacted. This is the first time in over five years that we won’t experience any major battles between these cosmic players.   Jupiter and Neptune last made contact when they locked into a tense and heated opposition from August until October of 2015, then again from March until July of 2016. Their exact faceoff was mid-September 2015, but the effect could be felt during these whole periods. At the time, Jupiter was in analytical Virgo, an odd contrast to artsy, spiritual Neptune. Complicating matters, restrictive Saturn (in global Sagittarius) wedged itself in the middle, forming a tense and awkward T-square.   Many people will recall 2015 and 2016 as especially tough years, and the Jupiter-NeptuneSaturn conflicts only fueled this intensity. There was also a series of harsh angles between Jupiter, revolutionary Uranus and shadowy Pluto in 2016 and 2017. These erupted in chaos and confusion, especially on the political stage. Global alliances reshuffled—with conflict coming from every angle, and primarily involving the Middle East, North Korea, Russia and the United States. With Jupiter The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Love, sex & relationships in 2018: Privacy please! Feisty Jupiter is in Scorpio, ruler of sex and intimacy, from October 10, 2017 until November 8, 2018. While outspoken Jupiter might awaken some evolved attitudes about love and sexuality, it can also spread some less savory stuff (like new strains of STDs). On the other hand, progressive Jupiter, which rules publishing and higher learning, could help reform outdated sex education programs. We might see students learn not just about how babies are made but also how to dismantle gender stereotyping, protect privacy in the age of Snapchat and sexting, and battle the pervasive rape culture. Scorpio rules the psyche, so understanding human behavior and motivations could make a huge difference in safe, consensual enjoyment of our bodies and sexuality. In November, Jupiter will enter try-anything-once Sagittarius, offering up plenty of willing playmates who are eager to turn those Scorpio-fueled fantasies into reality. Open-minded Sagittarius is all about loving across so-called boundaries in gender, race or religion. Long-distance love could move beyond time-zone-crossing WhatsApp chats, as global Jupiter in Sagittarius brings new ways to connect. With Jupiter in this dishy sign, conversations may come with a TMI alert, as people share explicitly and unapologetically about their escapades. (There’s a reason the Parental Advisory sticker was invented a year after Jupiter left Sagittarius!)

2018 HIGHLIGHTS

do well. Instead of fast fashion, we might want hand-engraved and artisan pieces with a rich story behind them. When Jupiter moves into larger-than-life Sagittarius for 13 months on November 8, styles will shift from exclusive to over-the-top. We’ll want comfort, personality and fun clothing that makes an undeniable statement. Decorating could also trend toward colorful and international now, with oversized furniture and statement pieces making a comeback. Exaggerated details and eye-popping colors will return.

With Saturn in conservative Capricorn, we may see an uptick in more traditional relationships running parallel to (and perhaps in response to) these Jupiter trends. Promise ring, anyone? In other cases, Saturn’s suppressive effect will find outdated institutions crumbling as people lose their taste for exclusionary and irrelevant customs. Since Saturn rules aging, we may see a rise in weddings or vow renewals among older people—a spike in Boomer brides, perhaps?

Fashion, decor & style in 2018: Teased, tatted…and tailored.

When Jupiter visited hedonistic Sagittarius in 1995, we got the campy, colorful movie Clueless and its shop-’til-you-drop ethos, and Jupiter’s 1983 tour of Sagittarius introduced shoulder pads, roomy parachute pants, wild-patterned Swatch watches and multi-hued jelly shoes. This Jupiter cycle also brought the roots of athleisure and street style, unleashing a wave of leg warmers, headbands and Spandex leggings to coincide with the aerobics and breakdancing crazes. Slouchy, off-the-shoulder sweatshirts (inspired by the movie Flashdance) were everywhere, and Madonna’s “Lucky Star” video put mesh crop tops, giant hair bows and lace gloves on every girl’s wishlist. By the end of 2018, we’ll want clothing that frees, rather than binds, because this transit will have us on the move!

Smoky eyes, seductive silhouettes, lingerie-inspired styles…fashion takes a turn for the smoldering with Jupiter in sexy Scorpio until November 8. Paging Madonna circa 1992! Designers might take inspiration from burlesque, pin-up—even bondage, creating looks designed to make a statement about sexuality and its ever-increasing fluidity. Hairstyles may get sleek, severe and choppy, and we could see a turn from honeyhued highlights and cotton-candy dye to inky blacks and navys. Mysticism and other “hidden” or underground scenes could also weave their way in. Interior design could also adopt a heavy, incenseladen boudoir or fortune-teller influence. Scorpio could bring back black leather dresses with corsetry or elaborate getups that take time and effort to put on. With detail-loving Scorpio as stylist, custom, limited-edition and “small-batch” lines could also The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Running parallel to these trends, as structured Saturn returns to its regimented home sign of Capricorn all year, military-inspired looks could also make their way back into the zeitgeist. Brass buttons, tailored trenches, epaulets and patches could pair with heavy boots—or hiking ones, since Capricorn is symbolized by the mountain goat. The concept of “uniform” dressing may take hold, as busy people seek ways to 8

look stylish without losing billable hours. Interestingly, Saturn’s last visit to Capricorn from 1989 to 1991 coincided with a recession and the need for practicality. The preeminent staple of these years was the jacket. Blazers were teamed with everything: T-shirts and leggings, jeans and shorts, skirts of all lengths. A well-made blazer might be your Saturn in Capricorn essential. Mix it with a corset, a babydoll dress or oversized “Hammer pants”—use Jupiter (and your own judgment) as your stylist!

Scorpio rules birth, death and reincarnation, and during this Jupiter cycle, cutting-edge brain science could emerge about how to slow and even reverse dying. People may work to overcome their fear of death, backed by spirituality and science. The Near Death Experience might become fodder for closer examination. Worldly Jupiter may inspire a closer look at how non-Western cultures treat death as a sacred process. Our own beloved staff member Melissa recently trained to be a “death doula,” learning techniques to shepherd people through their transition. Philosophical Jupiter makes us more inquisitive about metaphysical end-of-life options, ones that go beyond dying in hospice or a hospital. Fascination with the afterlife and past lives could also spread, perhaps with new scientific evidence.

Health & wellness: From research to reincarnation. Pioneering discoveries will make headlines as Jupiter deep-dives into inquisitive Scorpio until November 8. This transit may bring breakthroughs in research, especially around diseases spread through infections and the blood. Psychology is also ruled by Scorpio, and new therapy developments could emerge.

Whew! After all this intensity, we’re ready to feel alive. On November 8, Jupiter moves into worldly Sagittarius for 13 months. Athletics, outdoor adventures and joie de vivre replace the Scorpionic intensity. Jupiter is the god of the feast, and in its home sign of Sagittarius,

Doctors may pioneer cutting-edge cancer treatments or life-extending clinical trials that actually work. With Scorpio’s mystical bent, groundbreaking members of the medical field could integrate holistic treatments or “plant medicine” into their practices. Move over, pharmaceuticals— the growing field of psychopharmacology is using magic mushrooms and MDMA to treat cancerrelated depression and PTSD. Could we see an FDA approval with Jupiter in Scorpio? Either way, The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

“Year of the Dog traits include humble service, friendship and kindness—and we could all use a little more of that.” Year of the Earth Dog: Loyalty rules.

excess abounds. Healthy eating will have to feel decadent, bountiful and communal (generous Sagittarius loves to share). International influences will inspire new fusion dishes, and new superfoods will join the ranks of acai and maca. More people may begin growing and farming their own food, and organic neighborhood plots could pop up everywhere with an added focus on preserving soil integrity for growing prime food. Since brainy Sagittarius loves to learn and teach, education around nutrition and fitness will boom. This entrepreneurial transit might also bring a rise in celebrity instructors, coaches and trainers.

Roll over, Rooster—El Bow Wow is in the house. After a year of the fastidious Fire Cock strutting around keeping order, the Year of the Earth Dog begins. Dog energy is playful, happy and loyal. But to whom does that loyalty belong? Dogs are pack animals who follow a strong and decisive Alpha figure. During this Chinese zodiac cycle, we must be careful not to be seduced by strength alone. Might does not make right, and the Dog Year reminds us not to be obedient followers who succumb to authority. Praise and a pat on the head feel great, but the world needs critical thinking, not blind devotion (or seduction by biscuit).

Numerology in 2018: An 11/2 Universal Year. Come together! After three transitional years, a unifying numerological cycle arrives. The “2” vibration inspires partnership, and this year is especially potent because it also contains the master number “11.” Universal years are calculated by adding the digits of the year (in this case 2+0+1+8 = 11; 1+1 = 2). Working together, compromising and choosing high-vibe alliances will be a strong and much-needed theme. That said, 11 is a double vibration of 1, so we can expect another year of rapid-fire change and independence, even as we move toward greater cooperation.

The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

The Dog is associated with the Western sign of Libra, a lover of beauty and grace. Lavish entertaining and formal events could make a comeback and we may see a renaissance for the design industry. The best traits to emerge from these Dog days will be humble service, friendship and kindness, and we could all use a little more of that! u

The Highlights LOVE

HEALTH & WELLNESS

With expansive Jupiter in your intimate eighth house, you’ve got the urge to merge. Coupled Aries could join their lives in more permanent ways: moving in together, getting engaged, a pregnancy. Or, you might call the whole thing off! Two eclipses in Leo set your lusty fifth house ablaze and bring unexpected chemistry—and possible drama.

Wellness is an inside job this year, as Jupiter spotlights your eighth house of the psyche, emotions and transformation. “As within, so without” is your mantra. Explore the mindbody connection. Disciplined Saturn in your regimented tenth house could give you the willpower to try bootcamp or work with a hard-driving trainer.

MONEY & CAREER

Deepen your bonds and get personal. Jupiter in your private eighth house tightens your inner circle. You’ll crave the company of a select few trustworthy souls who can go the distance. Saturn in your fatherhood sector helps you work through any “dad issues.” July’s solar eclipse in Cancer touches your domestic fourth house. You could move, expand your family or prioritize time with a female relative, possibly your mom. u

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Finances and work get a major makeover! Jupiter is in your eighth house of joint ventures and windfalls, which could draw a large lump sum. You could pay off debt, buy real estate or invest. Innovative Uranus moves into Taurus and your daily income zone mid-May, which may spark a pioneering and profitable new path. But slow and steady wins the race, as cautious Saturn spends the next three years in your professional zone, a prescription for hard work and hustle. Keep your eyes on the long-term prize.

ou’re the zodiac’s first sign, an independent spirit at heart. But over the past year, you’ve gotten pretty impressive at dancing the two-step. Expansive Jupiter spent the bulk of 2017 in Libra, your opposite sign and the ruler of your interpersonal seventh house. From new romantic relationships to serious work alliances, two was your magic number. Your cutting-edge ideas grew faster with the right collaborators.

November 8, 2018, Jupiter is making a 13-month visit to Scorpio and your eighth house of merging, intimacy and shared ventures. This can be exciting and a little scary for your solo-flying sign. The eighth house is a private and focused domain. In short order, you’ll be waist-deep in a detailed project or your own soul-searching.

the eighth house rules wealth and large sums of money, you may have a nice financial score. Meantime, structured Saturn is on a three-year march through Capricorn and your tenth house of career since December 19, 2017. The ringed taskmaster will reshape your approach to goals, authority and ambition until December 17, 2020. There may be some career slowdowns or (seeming) setbacks, but these are all designed to anchor you on a long-term path toward stability. While this year can feel like an obstacle course, don’t give up! You could emerge as a recognized trailblazer, especially once radical Uranus winds down its seven-year journey through your sign on May 15. You’ve been hosting the planet of innovation and sudden changes in Aries since 2011, which has been exciting but exhausting. Uranus has been radically reshaping your identity, and it’s helped you craft your message and use your voice. Lucky you: While Jupiter helped you evolve into a better partner and collaborator, Uranus pushed you to be more of an individual. So much evolution in a relatively short time! Mid-May, Uranus will move into Taurus and your security-minded second house, reshaping the way you earn, spend, save and invest your money for the next seven years. This is Uranus’ first visit here since 1934, so it’s literally a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many people. The side-spinning planet will make one last sweep through Aries in November. Then in March 2019, it will settle into Taurus for the long haul—and it won’t return to your sign until 2094!

But before you put those Ram’s horns too far down to the ground, look up! There’s a big, bold world and it will be calling your name at the end of this year. When Jupiter enters Sagittarius and your entrepreneurial ninth house on November 8, your diligent work could start to pay off. Watch for an exciting opportunity to travel, teach or work independently.

Jupiter in Scorpio: A deep dive and transformation. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Bring on the bonding! Expansive Jupiter spends the bulk of this year in Scorpio and your intimate eighth house. This cycle, which only happens every 12 years, is where the rubber meets the road around your closest commitments. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Similar themes from that time could arise now. Last year, Jupiter trekked through Libra and your partnership house, firing you up to experiment with dynamic duos. A business alliance may have brought rapid success—or it could have fizzled out due to Jupiter’s over-optimism. When the spotted planet is in charge, enthusiasm isn’t always matched with follow-through. With Libra’s emphasis on coupling, some Aries decided to get serious with one special person. Others may have outgrown a relationship and parted ways—hopefully on amicable terms. Any stagnant or overly dependent relationships went through growing pains, forcing you to evolve as individuals.

Travel, study or tackling a big passion project together rekindled a sense of discovery. In 2018, the “red giant” will present the kind of bonds you can’t back out of quite so easily: marriage, pregnancy, joint business ventures, legal contracts. The eighth house is the realm where “me” becomes “we,” and our sense of separateness dissolves into oneness. For Aries, who tend to cherish freedom and autonomy, this will be an adjustment. You like to come and go as you please, but once you’re beholden to, say, a brand-new baby, a pet, a mortgage payment or an investor, you’re on their clock. Say what?! Embrace this like some kind of Zen riddle: How can you feel free inside the confines of a binding commitment? The eighth house rules sex, and you could have erotic adventures that you never dreamed possible. Visit Tantra or other philosophies that put a new spin on “getting busy.” To deepen your awareness of what turns you on, check out workshops like Kitty Cavalier’s Sacred Seduction or One Taste, where you can learn the art of “orgasmic meditation” (OM-ing). Some Aries may toy with the idea of an open relationship. Tread carefully with outside experimentation, as Jupiter in this jealous and secretive zone will bring up the full spectrum of feelings if you go there. You might find insight

through the work of modern love expert Esther Perel or sexuality coach and educator Pamela Madsen, who teaches how to “live the life you lust after without ditching everyone and everything you cherish.” That pretty much sums up the way many Aries feel in committed relationships: Your body and spirit yearn for freedom, while your heart craves security. This year’s Jupiter quest asks: How can you have it all? Joining forces while retaining autonomy is #goals for 2018, and Jupiter will present new ways to merge your superpowers for mutual gain. Maybe you’ll take a big next step—moving in or buying property together, getting married or launching a joint business. But while galactic-gambler Jupiter says “just do it!” the eighth house demands a certain level of trust and intimacy before you leap. Choose your metaphorical dance partners with the utmost discernment now. This year, there’s no such thing as “casual.” Jupiter in the private eighth house can be a quiet and reflective year. Tighten your social circle. Rather than have a million surface-level acquaintances, you’ll prefer the company of a few sharp people who can go deep with you. Work-wise, you could befriend some influential and well-connected folks with Jupiter in this power-player zone. You’ll relish having people around who can keep up with your big, complex ideas.

Deep feelings will surface, some of which might be best processed with an experienced therapist or healer. If you’re still hurting from a loss, such as a breakup or a death, Jupiter helps you grieve and heal. The eighth house rules the psyche, and with curious Jupiter here, your most fascinating explorations will be of your own mind, heart and soul. Carve out time and space to do that inner work, especially while Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, a productive time to reflect. If you embrace the focused energy of this cycle, you’ll end it richer in every way. And yes, you can take that literally!

The Law of Attraction can really work for you this year, especially from May through August, when Jupiter will travel in a rare trine (120-degree angle of ease) with mystical Neptune in Pisces and your twelfth house of the subconscious. This is a great time to overturn limiting beliefs. Read up on the energetic philosophy behind money. Books like Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich, Esther and Jerry Hicks’ Ask and It Is Given or Marianne Williamson’s The Law of Divine Compensation could give you an inspiring new context around prosperity. These techniques can also help you attract an intimate partner and soulmate. Jupiter is teaching you how to receive and attract, rather than force and control.

syncs up with Neptune, practicing vulnerability can take all your relationships to new levels of depth. Although we’re taught that dropping our guard puts us at risk—what if someone takes advantage and hurts us?—it’s actually a safer place to be. There’s a difference between being gullible (which means you’re tuned out and unaware, or handing someone else your power) and being receptive (you’re empowered but also present and open). Jupiter is here to teach you this, and so much more, in 2018. Sit humbly at his feet and you’ll gain emotional mastery that you can use for the rest of your life.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Into the wider world. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Goodbye, confining cocoon! Once Jupiter’s intense plunge through Scorpio ends on November 8, you’re like a butterfly busting out of the chrysalis. You took your hero’s journey, traveled to the mystical mountaintop, and now you’re ready to rejoin the wider world. Just in time, Jupiter soars into Sagittarius and your global ninth house, the domain of travel, study, entrepreneurship and risks. It’s like someone switching the lights on in a dark room—one you thought was empty—and you discovering that it’s full of vibrant people from all walks of life, ready to celebrate! Jupiter is the natural ruler of the fortune-filled ninth house, which means you get a double dose of luck that will last until next December. A surge of joie de vivre fills you with adventure for 13 months. Suddenly, everything and anything feels possible…and truly, it is! The famous quote by a The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Disney employee, “If you can dream it, you can do it,” is now your mantra. And you don’t care if it’s a little hokey, because you’re now that person—the one cheering everyone on, speaking fearlessly about your beliefs and unapologetically pursuing your lofty visions. Cross-cultural connections can heat up, and you’ll become passionate about forming alliances with people from backgrounds different than your own. You might decide to learn a foreign language or get involved in a cause that bridges divisions and teaches tolerance. Maybe you’ll advocate for immigrant rights, teach abroad or promote a more culturally diverse curriculum in schools. Jupiter and Sagittarius rule religion and philosophy, and you could be especially drawn to metaphysical topics. Share your unifying message with the world through publishing and education, two of Jupiter’s domains. Jupiter is only here for the last couple months of 2018, but you’ll feel the shift. Go “bucket-list” big with your New Year’s resolutions. Plan your dream trip through South America. Apply to school or self-publish your novel. Invest in the startup idea you’ve been talking about for eight years, and start making an exit strategy from your day job. If Jupiter in Scorpio brought a big payout, why not invest some of those profits in your dreams?   Just beware a gambling urge, since Jupiter in its home sign of Sagittarius also multiplies your taste for risk-taking, and can blind you to the downsides. If you must leap without looking—which Aries often do—at least strap a on parachute.

“Have you spent years dedicated to a craft or discipline? You could reap the benefits of your own sweat equity, finally establishing yourself as a top-tier player in your industry. Respect!” Saturn in Capricorn: Rising through the ranks. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 The cream rises to the top—but in 2018, it will be a slow and steady upward crawl. For the next three years, tough Saturn is plodding through Capricorn and your tenth house of career, success and responsibility. With the status-seeking planet at the highest point on your chart, you’ll get a little obsessed with your reputation and long-term goals. Saturn is the ruler of both Capricorn and the tenth house, and you get a rare triple dose of dutiful, determined energy. The best way to approach this Saturn cycle is to view it as a marathon, not a sprint. For Aries who like quick results and instant gratification (um, most of you?), this could be an uncomfortable adjustment. This is a time for “earning your stripes” through hard work and carefully plotting your moves. Inspector Saturn will reward you for paying dues— and he won’t let you get away with cutting corners. For your speedy sign, patience could be a muscle you have to work hard to develop. Saturn rules the tenth house, and some Aries might tap a seasoned career coach or industry veteran for guidance. This is not the time to “fake it ‘til you make it,” and Saturn could deliver some humbling moments if you do. Hone your craft and build your

You could reap the benefits of your own sweat equity, finally establishing yourself as a toptier player in your industry. Respect! If you’re an experienced leader in your field, this is a rewarding time to share your mastery with the world. You may be promoted to a leadership position or become a well-known public figure. Saturn could bring highprofile recognition for your expertise, such as a prestigious award, a motivational speaking career or a book deal. One Aries friend, who has been steadily working toward her Ph.D. for almost 20 years, plans to defend her dissertation and earn those honorable three letters in 2018—a welltimed move. Forget about being a cute and youthful ingénue; with Saturn in your tenth house, being “older and wiser” is an asset. Still, you’ll need to suit up for the big game this year. In Capricorn, Saturn will form a challenging square (a tense, 90-degree angle) to your Sun sign, which tests your mettle with confining rules, boundaries and authority figures.

“If your career isn’t a good fit, Saturn can shake things up and push you to change direction. Take inventory, Aries. Where are you under-earning or performing below your own capabilities?” stymied by bureaucracy and slow moving decisionmakers. There can be job changes, some outside of your control. For example, your company could restructure, eliminating your department or moving everyone into new roles. If you’ve been freelancing, you might go back to a full-time corporate career. The “grownup” perks of a steady paycheck and benefits will help you build a sound future, but you’ll chafe at the loss of freedom and flexibility. Is the tradeoff worth it? That could be the big question. If your career isn’t a good fit, Saturn can shake things up and push you to change direction. Take inventory, Aries. Where are you under-earning or performing below your own capabilities? You may need to get more credentials before you’re qualified for a job you want. This can be a sobering realization, but Saturn will reward you for persisting and going through the process. Your natural charm and charisma won’t win you any special treatment now. Hard work and integrity are the only way. Don’t mess with this—trying to beat or cheat the system will catch up with you. This year can bring challenges with an important guy in your life (possibly your dad), since Saturn, Capricorn and the tenth house rule men, fathers and masculinity.

Some Aries will feel a stronger urge to connect to your roots or understand your family history. You’re not a complete stranger to this pattern, Aries. Transformational Pluto has been moving through Capricorn since 2008, a phase that will last until 2024. Over the past decade, your priorities and purpose have been shifting undeniably. You may have already changed careers more than once since then, experimenting with goals that suit your soul. (For some Aries, it’s been an extreme makeover!) But Pluto rules the hidden realm, so you may not have fully “come out” or established a foothold on your path. Tangible Saturn helps you make things manifest, adding shape and form to all that Pluto’s been stirring up. With Saturn and Pluto both here, life will have spells that feel like boot camp: long hours, relentless trainers, heavy temptation to throw in the towel. Saturn will demand sacrifices. Will you get a proper return on your investment? Ponder that before you commit. Where do you want to be by the end of 2020? While you may just sketch a rough outline in 2018, start with your loftiest goals and work backward from there.

May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Aries 2.0 is ready for a grand unveiling! On May 15, your seven-year personal revolution comes to a close, as radical changemaker Uranus leaves Aries, where it’s been shaking up your identity since March 2011. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, so this was a major cycle for you, Ram! If you think back, your life may look wildly different than it did seven years ago. Everything from your career to your relationships to your personal style got an extreme makeover. Maybe you shucked a stifling corporate career to go freelance, or traded in your “perfect” image for violet hair, tattoos and an unconventional relationship. You could have moved, changed friend circles or reinvented yourself in some jawdropping way. Uranus is the planet of authenticity and individual expression, which are values that most Aries hold dear. If you haven’t put your indelible stamp on the world yet, use the first five months of 2018 to “do you.” Next on Uranus’ avant-garde agenda? Your finances and career. From May 15, 2018 until April 26, 2026, Uranus will move through Taurus, bringing its trailblazing touch to your second house of work, money and daily routines. It’s time to pour The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Liberated Uranus in your stable second house is a bit of a paradox. Your challenge is to create a steady income without sacrificing your freedom. Is there a full-time job with benefits out there that won’t crush your soul? Maybe you commit to a conventional path but you build autonomy into your position. Can you flex your hours, work remotely or take a gig that lets you design your own role? (Surely someone needs a Chief Executive Unicorn around their office…) Uranus rules technology, so you might start an online business or go completely digital, working remotely and outsourcing to overseas contractors. Startup life could appeal to you, and since Uranus rules social justice, you’ll put in long hours to help a world-bettering mission. Still, it could take a few attempts to strike the right balance of freedom and security. Uranus is in its “fall”—a weakened position—when it visits Taurus. After all, the planet of constant upheaval doesn’t quite know how to act in a sign that’s devoted to resisting change! Navigating these dueling dynamics will take practice. At times, legitimate financial obligations could hamper your hustle. You may have a few “feast or famine” periods, so don’t rush to quit your day job. With structured Saturn in your career sector until December 2020, a conservative approach may be necessary. Your best bet is to implement changes a little bit at a time. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

“Feeling trapped by your possessions? Since the second house rules values, the stuff that once made you happy may no longer fulfill you.” Feeling trapped by your possessions? Since the second house rules values, the stuff that once made you happy may no longer fulfill you. The car, the house, the big TV—suddenly, pricey material objects feel like a leaden weight. If you’ve defined your self-worth by your job or you’re living paycheck to paycheck, Uranus will shake things up. Luckily, pioneering Aries aren’t typically satisfied with the status quo. You may welcome any lifestyle overhauls sparked by this Uranus transit. Still, a financial curveball can throw you off your game. Should that happen, apply your quick thinking and creativity. Whenever possible, plan ahead by socking away extra in savings. You may need to tap into a rainy-day fund now and then. Experts advise having up to six months of your living expenses stashed away at all times. While that might not be completely realistic yet, it’s a great guideline to follow, especially if you’re thinking of becoming a “solopreneur” or making a risky move. Ultimately, this long Uranus transit is here to help you make money in a way that truly aligns with your highest purpose. And you’ll have one more chance to clarify that in 2018, when Uranus dips back into Aries for a last hurrah on November 6 before settling into Taurus for the long haul on March 7, 2019. During this four-month finale, make sure you’re following a path that’s true to your spirit.

In 2018, you might play both roles, as an ongoing series of eclipses falls on the Leo/Aquarius axis, igniting your expressive and passionate fifth house (ruled by Leo) and your cool-headed, collaborative eleventh house (ruled by Aquarius). You’ll duck in and out of the spotlight in 2018. You’re learning when it’s best to dive into the action and when to hang back and observe. These eclipses, which began February 2017 and end in early 2019, are here teach you important lessons about the spotlight, and how best to share it.

If you’re more the behind-the-scenes type, you could team up with a rising star, powering their ascent. The eleventh house rules technology, and you could become a viral sensation near these eclipses. Explore technology that helps you share your heartfelt message with a global audience: video, podcasting, live webinars. Digital dating could also bring interesting prospects in 2018. If you’re single, explore connections both in-person and online.

TAU RU S A P RIL 2 0 - MAY 20

The Highlights LOVE

Relationships take center stage in 2018, as lucky Jupiter soars through the committed zones of your chart all year. This is a refreshing change, as you’ve had restrictive Saturn here from 2012 to 2017, making companionship feel like an uphill climb. Battle scars and hard-won lessons have left you wiser, and you can apply this selfknowledge to happy, healthy partnerships in 2018—at last!

MONEY & CAREER

Partnerships prosper with lucky Jupiter attracting new collaborators, possibly from afar. But save room for your solo projects, too: Pioneering Uranus enters Taurus for the first time in 77 years mid-May, blessing you with influencer status until 2026. An indie project could put your name on the map. With structured Saturn in your entrepreneurial ninth house all year, you may slowly but steadily build the foundation of your own enterprise. Two eclipses in your career corner this year can bring job changes and unexpected offers—even a brand new professional path.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Adventurous Jupiter spent most of 2017 in your sixth house of health, pushing you to develop better habits or tend to your wellbeing. This year, you’ll stay fit with the help of your friends. Combine exercising and healthy eating with socializing. Meet a friend for a bike ride instead of at the bar, or combine a conference call with a power walk instead of zoning out at your desk. Changemaker Uranus in your first house of appearances could inspire an extreme makeover this summer or fall.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

With your passion projects and partnerships percolating, you won’t have much time to touch down at home base. But domestic matters take the stage in January and August, when a pair of eclipses may bring a move, renovations or quality time with family. Your relationship with your mother, a child or a female relative is in the spotlight. u

Taurus, your security-seeking sign isn’t always keen on change, but the next phase of your life will teach you to embrace it. By nature, you’re a creature of habit who prefers to plan your moves and execute them deliberately—like a bull charging after its target.

These winds of change are expansive ones, inviting you to step out of a worn comfort zone that’s grown confining. Whether you leave an outmoded situation or just make big shifts within your current setup, 2018 will be anything but business as usual.

Well, that may not be possible under 2018’s cosmic lineup. Sticking to the status quo could mean missing out on an exciting opportunity. And you certainly don’t want to do that!

TAURUS TAURUS 2018 THE BIG HOROSCOPE PICTURE

So, what’s behind all this new energy? For starters, Uranus, the planet of revolution and radical shifts, will start an eight-year voyage through your sign on May 15—its first visit in 77 years. Incidentally, this is also the date of the only Taurus new moon in 2018. Talk about turning a bold page! Between now and April 2026, you could transform everything from your career to your living situation to your appearance. Uranus is the planet of sudden changes and events, and transitions could happen quickly. The side-spinning planet takes 84 years to return to each zodiac sign; its last trek through Taurus was from 1934 to 1941! This will be literally a oncein-a-lifetime event for most Bulls, since the next Uranus visit will be in the year 2102. So go on and fly that freak flag, Taurus! Liberated Uranus helps you get bolder about sharing your individuality and novel ideas. Under this unconventional transit, you might shock people by leaving a long-term job and going freelance, or packing up and moving to another region spontaneously. Offers could come out of the blue, and you might just jump on ‘em. In 2018’s new skyscape, you’ll be attracted to unorthodox people and ideas. Expansive Jupiter, the planet of growth and risk-taking, is visiting your opposite sign of Scorpio until November 8, sweeping through your seventh house of committed relationships. You could click unexpectedly with people from wildly different backgrounds, cultures and mindsets. Whether for romance or finance, this Jupiter cycle brings luck through dynamic duos. While Uranus emboldens you to express The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

your individuality, Jupiter will connect you to kindred spirits who appreciate that uniqueness— and don’t cramp your style. Jupiter and Uranus are two of the most freedom-loving planets, so you’ll crave lots of room to roam and explore this year. But you’ll also want good company for your adventures. Now, you just might find it! Jupiter’s visit could bring an exciting new longterm relationship or perhaps the end of an arrangement you’ve outgrown. Keep it civil, Bull. “Conscious uncoupling” isn’t reserved for celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. If a partnership has run its course, philosophical Jupiter helps you wish each other well and go your own ways. It won’t take long for you to meet a thrilling new match. Things could move into super-official territory fast, especially once Jupiter enters Sagittarius and your eighth house of merging in November. For happily-coupled Bulls, this could be an important time to evolve the way you and your partner interact. Overall, your relationships will get lighter and happier, because weighty Saturn is finally out of your partnership houses—and it’s been trudging through them since October 2012. For the last six years, you’ve been in interpersonal boot camp, learning some tough but life-altering lessons about how to play well with others. Now that Saturn has moved on to Capricorn and your horizonbroadening ninth house, the pressure lifts. Set your sights on visionary goals and go see the world! Rounding out the reinvention tour, four of this year’s five eclipses fall in Leo and Aquarius, bringing changes to your fourth house of home ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

From an unexpected move to a surprise pregnancy to a job offer that comes out of left field, the 2018 stars are determined to keep you on your toes. When the dust settles, you might realize you like this new landscape a whole lot more than you thought you would! Keep an open mind and an open heart, Taurus.

Jupiter in Scorpio: So happy together. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Dynamic duos unite! After a busy and workfocused 2017 you’re craving good company, and the stars deliver. Expansive Jupiter visits your opposite sign of Scorpio until November 8, bringing its bountiful touch to your seventh house of partnerships and one-on-one connections. From long-distance love to a prosperous business alliance, optimistic Jupiter inspires you to roll the dice. You could make a commitment official or move on from a relationship you’ve outgrown. In it for the long haul? Worldly Jupiter sends you on a quest for shared adventures that breathe new life into your bond. This Jupiter cycle, which only happens every 12 years, will inspire a whole new way of relating. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006, so look back to that time for themes that will emerge again. Jupiter in Scorpio can bring eye-opening role reversals. If you’re a talker, work on becoming a better listener. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Develop new interpersonal skills, perhaps through communication workshops or business coaching. If you typically hold your cards close to your vest, outspoken Jupiter inspires you to share more. A new open-book policy can attract fascinating friends into your sphere. A Taurus who plays the provider role (as many Bulls do) will learn how to be vulnerable and receive. If you’re more the posh-and-pampered personality, you might find yourself playing benefactor instead of beneficiary—and learning so much about yourself in the process. Jupiter balances the give-and-take with everyone, from colleagues to companions to your clan. Do we hear wedding bells? During this Jupiter cycle, many Bulls will get engaged or tie the knot. Whether you plan a destination wedding (Jupiter loves travel) or dash off to the Elvis chapel in Vegas, your cautious sign could be ready to jump the broom into happily-ever-after. As a testament to the “red giant’s” matchmaking powers, Ophi met her Taurus husband, Jeffrey, in 2006, the last time Jupiter was in Scorpio. At the time, he was a divorced dad of an adorable six-year-old girl, Clementine. The three of them quickly became a close-knit crew. Ophi and Jeffrey got engaged during this Jupiter cycle and moved in together—very much in line with Jupiter’s leap into official territory. Twelve years later, Jupiter has returned to Scorpio, and the relationship ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

TAURUS TAURUS 2018 THE BIG HOROSCOPE PICTURE

will undergo another growth cycle. This time, Clementine is finishing high school and going off to college, leaving an emptier nest and space for Ophi and Jeffrey to develop new interests as a couple. Single? Expand your reach. Open up to someone from a different cultural background and flirt with people who don’t fit your usual type. Who knows? That sinewy surfer could actually be the perfect complement to your buttoned-up banker or bookworm. Variety can add spice during this Jupiter cycle. While affectionate Bulls need a warm body close by, don’t pooh-pooh a longdistance relationship. If you’re on the dating apps, widen your search radius beyond five to ten miles from your home. Jupiter rules travel, and won’t be mad if you rack up a few frequent flyer miles or relocate for that special someone. Been together awhile? Jupiter in Scorpio gives longtime duos a fresh focus. You might launch a joint venture or team up on a business idea. Learning and growing together is the key, so craft your shared bucket list and start crossing things off. You could take a semester of Italian lessons, then head to Tuscany for a culinary and wine retreat… or get scuba certified and go diving in the Maldives. Spin the globe and dream! Venture beyond your usual spots and try new restaurants, a night at a boutique hotel, a day trip outside city limits. Novel experiences will spike the passion factor. Has a work or romantic relationship run its course? This Jupiter cycle could find you parting ways— most likely on amicable terms. If you do split up, it won’t be long until a bounty of new prospects pop up. In love, keeping it casual won’t be easy, because Jupiter in this LTR zone makes you The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

especially attractive to serious-minded types. You may flow from one commitment right into another without trying. Although serial monogamy suits your steady sign, don’t skip Jupiter’s self-discovery process. Rushing into cohabitation or speeding to the altar could get messy down the line, even if you’re “sure” this person is the One. This same caution applies to budding business partnerships. With eager Jupiter in your house of contracts, you could rush to sign on the dotted line. Jupiter is the cosmic gambler, and you might be tempted to ignore little crimson flags in the rush to seal a deal. Conduct your due diligence and don’t be overconfident. Hire an attorney for a couple hours of legal advice and make sure you know what you’re getting into. If everything checks out, great! You’ll have peace in your heart knowing you did this with integrity. If you do leap into a partnership without looking, you might pull back a little when Jupiter goes retrograde from March 8 to July 10. During this time, you could have second thoughts about moving forward. Couples can benefit from seeing a therapist together or taking a trial separation. Since retrogrades can bring back the past, an old love could reappear, or you could realize that someone is “the one that got away.” Maybe the second time around is the charm? Friends can become lovers in 2018, especially between May and August, when Jupiter will travel in a rare and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) with enchanting Neptune in Pisces and your social eleventh house. Your inner circle could play Cupid or you might meet a dynamic new person at an event. With Neptune in this tech-friendly sector, ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

You want it all or nothing at all—and you’re not interested in doing anything halfway! The emphasis is on merging now. From emotional bonds to pregnancy to joint financial ventures, you’re being pulled past the point of no return.

the vacation bags are unpacked and the gifts are put away. Now what? That’s what you’ll explore in the next 13 months. With Jupiter in this private and reflective zone, life can take a quieter turn. Your feelings can be raw during this vulnerable cycle, and you may grapple with anger or pain that you’ve stuffed down. You could focus on intense, behind-the-scenes work or deep emotional processing. This is a powerful year for therapy and energy healing, or to explore a spiritual discipline. You could be consumed by the metaphysical mysteries of life—a topic that downto-earth Tauruses don’t always venture into. Your esoteric explorations could pay off in the material world, as you become well-rounded and “richer” in every sense, not just in your bank account. With Jupiter in your erotic eighth house, a sexual awakening could be in store. You might explore your desires with a willing partner-slash-teacher. Since Jupiter rules learning, try workshops on tantra or explore sensual movement classes such as S-Factor, belly dancing and tango. Couples could make binding arrangements by moving in together, getting engaged or buying real estate. A pregnancy is possible. Some Bulls may go the other direction, breaking up with a partner (romantic or business) and dividing up your shared assets. If this involves a legal battle, know that Jupiter is on your side. Most Bulls should have a favorable outcome

If friends send out smoke signals, don’t be surprised. You could go a little AWOL once this reflective Jupiter cycle begins. Whether you’re consumed with a work project that demands extreme concentration or bawling on your hypnotherapist’s couch after a mind-blowing past-life regression, your attention is decidedly internal. Stay on the journey, knowing that you’ll emerge from the chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly by next December. Shed those layers and transform. In business, you could attract an investor or ink an exciting joint venture. This could be a year of wealth planning and windfalls—one of your most prosperous cycles in a long time. You could buy or sell real estate, so if you’re considering a move, lucky Jupiter will soon be in your corner.

Saturn in Capricorn: Your dreams get some structure. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 The weight has lifted! You’ve been through relationship and financial boot camp for the last three years, and 2018 finally unburdens you. From December 2014 to December 2017, tough teacher Saturn was in Sagittarius and your eighth house of intimacy, shared finances and bonding. You’ve

learned some important but painful lessons about merging with the wrong people. Excruciating as it’s been, you can finally put these experiences behind you. With your newfound wisdom, you’ve gained a solid idea of which bonds can go the distance. Only the trustworthy are left standing! Now, Saturn spends the next three years cruising at a high altitude, as it visits Capricorn—a compatible fellow earth sign—and adds gravitas to your ninth house of travel, study and entrepreneurship. With Saturn forming a graceful trine (120-degree angle) to your Sun sign, your lofty ideas could become a tangible reality. You’ve been working so hard, Taurus, and this Saturn cycle finally brings your reward. It might not land in your lap all at once, but with a steady drip of abundance, you won’t feel like you’re swimming upstream, either. Through diligence and thoughtful leaps of faith, you’ll see legitimate progress! This Saturn cycle can be a bit of a paradox. While Saturn rules restriction, the ninth house rules expansion. Sound like a contradiction? It is, but you can work it to your advantage. Structured Saturn in this blue-sky dreaming zone can bring shape and form to your grand ideas. Adopt an attitude of cautious optimism and take calculated risks for the win. The saying that “luck is where preparation meets opportunity” is pretty much your mantra until the end of 2020!

“If you’re still stuck in the pain of a past experience, Saturn in this philosophical new zone will help you find the silver lining and move on. There’s a gift in our struggles, believe it or not.” With serious Saturn in this global zone, you may travel for business or get a big job offer that includes relocation. Explore at a slow and steady pace before pulling up the stakes. Or, grounded Saturn might keep you closer to home, which could be a welcome relief, especially after the last Saturn phase. Putting down roots was a roller coaster ride for the past three years, while Saturn was in your eighth house of real estate.

If you’re still stuck in the pain of a past experience, Saturn in this philosophical new zone will help you find the silver lining and move on. There’s a gift in our struggles, believe it or not. Maybe you’ll share your story and help someone else who’s going through the same rough journey. Your hard-won experience could become fodder for a motivational speech, a blog or a book, since the ninth house rules publishing. You never know!

One Taurus friend moved into a pricey New York City apartment last year, only to discover the owners had failed to disclose a moth infestation. After months of keeping her clothes in the refrigerator (the only safe place!) and fighting a losing battle with her landlord, she waved the white flag and moved out.

This Saturn phase could bring a return to the hallowed halls of a university, as the ringed taskmaster visits your ninth house of higher learning. Or, you might pursue credentials and certification that can move your income into a whole new bracket. You could get serious about starting your own business or developing an existing one.

The eighth house is a spiritual sector, and our friend sagely sought the deeper meaning of this experience. Moths are drawn to light, even at their own peril; had she been living in her own selfimposed darkness or having tunnel vision? She realized from all of this that she needed “to find a home where I—and my basic belongings—could be safe, secure and at peace.” Luckily, our friend has been able to contemplate these life lessons from a new address, one that’s free of winged creatures destroying her cashmere and couches!

Seeking deeper meaning? The ninth house is associated with religion, and you may find yourself craving a spiritual home base, such as a temple, church or metaphysical study group. Take inspiration from author Anjali Kumar’s humorous and heartfelt new book, Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe In. Your quest for meaning or connection with the divine isn’t superficial. Take your time with it. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988 to 1991, so if you can remember back that far, watch for

recurring patterns. This round, Saturn will join transformational Pluto, which can bring intense internal and external growth. Shadow-dancer Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 and will stay until 2024. Your beliefs, desires and dreams have been shifting over the past decade, and you may have endured a few tests of faith. With structured Saturn here, your seeking and wandering will start to make sense in the bigpicture scheme.

Uranus in Taurus: Major reinvention. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Your fellow Taurus William Shakespeare famously said, “To thine own self be true.” His timeless words will guide you through the next seven years of your life, as radical Uranus barrels into Taurus on May 15, shaking up your identity until 2026. The sideways-spinning planet, which rules change and innovation, only visits your sign every 84 years. Its last trip to Taurus was from 1934 to 1941—been awhile! Hosting Uranus in your sign can be a oncein-a-lifetime event that not everyone experiences. And there won’t be too many dull moments! Buckle up, Bull: Everything from your career to your relationships to your personal style could get an extreme makeover in the next seven years. We’ll be honest: Change-loving Uranus is not really comfortable in your stability-seeking sign. In astrology lingo, Uranus is in “fall” when it’s in Taurus because this is such an energetic odd coupling. It’s like putting a Goth teenager with tattoos and piercings on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Uranus is anti-establishment and pushes for constant innovation. Taurus The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

loves material pleasures and hates change. These paradoxical energies will give you a riddle to resolve…and it won’t be boring! To update the old saying, “Man plans; the universe laughs.” And there could be some guffaws from the heavens if you try to cling to the status quo. Trailblazing Uranus pushes you to take the road less traveled. Problem is, many Bulls prefer to follow a reliable GPS instead of zigzagging about. But now, those back roads and nomadic detours will be much more intriguing than the well-paved route from Point A to Point B. If you were born between April 20 to 23, you’ll experience this transit the strongest in 2018, because Uranus will travel in close proximity to your birth degree. When Uranus makes contact with your Sun, change is nearly inevitable. It’s a nomadic and unpredictable time. The most intense part lasts about a month (often coming back for a second round), which can prompt you to act wildly out of character. You might not quit your day job or trade your McMansion for an Airstream trailer…but then again, you might. But most astrologers advise against making any permanent decisions when Uranus is nigh! One friend, a Brooklyn boutique owner, lost her ten-year storefront lease back when Uranus crossed over her Sun. Interestingly, she also found a major wiring problem in the building (Uranus rules electricity and technology), which made this curveball a blessing in disguise. However, with unpredictable Uranus shaking things up, she wasn’t able to seamlessly move into a new retail space and resume business as usual. True to form, Uranus forced her to innovate. So, instead ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

of sticking around to fight City Hall, this friend decided to build up her online store and search for a temporary pop-up shop. But not so fast, said Uranus! While she was deliberating, her husband received a cushy job offer overseas, throwing her plans into yet another tailspin. Wisely—or perhaps because she had no other choice—she paused and rode out the storm before finding a month-bymonth spot once this Uranus energy passed. With Uranus in your sign, forcing an outcome is a huge waste of energy. It’s like trying to build a house in the middle of a tornado. Learning to roll with the punches will do you good, and it could bring out a whole new side of your personality. Sure, it might feel comfortable to settle into a predictable routine. But (yawn!) it can also get boring. Everything is up for questioning now, including your beliefs and political leanings. Anything stale and outmoded will no longer appeal to you. Socially #woke Uranus in Taurus can fire up your activist spirit. For inspiration, look to Taurus change icons such as Bono, Cher, George Clooney and Willie Nelson. Your fearless ability to speak up—and back up your convictions with action— could make a positive impact in the world. Uranus spent the last seven years in Aries and your foggy twelfth house. You may have evolved spiritually and emotionally. However, this hazy cycle made it hard for your creative ideas to really gain traction in the material world. With Uranus in Taurus, you can finally start taking decisive steps. But don’t rush: Uranus will turn retrograde on August 7, backing into Aries for one last soulsearching cycle from November 6, 2018 until The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Home and career get a makeover. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Time for a new work-life balance? Four of this year’s five eclipses will touch down in major zones of your chart, reshuffling your personal and professional priorities. These eclipses are part of a series falling on the Leo/Aquarius axis from February 2017 until January 2019. Your living situation, career path and closest ties could undergo seismic changes. Eclipses can bring curveballs or demand quick action. And let’s face it, Taurus—sometimes it takes a huge planetary push to get your steadfast sign off the fence! We’re not saying you’re stubborn, but… you’ve been known to resist change. If you’ve been dragging your feet around an important home, family or career decision, it’s time to make a move! This January and August, two Leo eclipses will shake up your domestic fourth house. That could bring a relocation, a pregnancy or changes to your lifestyle. The cast of characters living under your roof could alter dramatically, or you may alter the way you deal with a volatile relative. The urge to nest or move could strike suddenly. You might play interior designer, changing your décor scheme or ripping up the rugs for a gut renovation! These eclipses can bring powerful emotional moments that put you in touch with your bottom-line needs. What makes you feel secure at the most fundamental level? Put more ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Speak up!

In February and July, eclipses in Aquarius will remix your tenth house of career, long-term goals and success. Prep your headshots and resume, and drop your power suits at the dry cleaner. You could be catapulted into a prominent role that involves leadership or public recognition. Or, you might make a dramatic career change.

Extra, extra! On July 12, a Cancer solar (new moon) eclipse perks up your third house of communication. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake us up and inspire big shifts. A conversation or message could change the course of events. This is a partial eclipse, meaning it’s not “full strength,” so the news probably won’t be earth-shattering. But it might be intriguing enough to make you to sit up and take notice. In the wake of this eclipse, you could meet a kindred spirit type who becomes an important collaborator or friend. A sibling, neighbor or colleague may also be involved in events near this date.

A job loss could arise due to changes outside your control, such as a corporate restructuring or buyout. Should this happen, take a deep breath and trust that a better position is headed your way. If you’re craving more creativity from your career, these eclipses can help you design a fulfilling new role, possibly within your existing company. Will you go open a satellite office in Berlin or get promoted to an executive title? Anything is possible when an eclipse rides through town. The tenth house also rules men and fathers, and these could spotlight your relationship with an important guy in your life. Stay tuned!

July 12

This is the kickoff of a new eclipse series on your Cancer/Capricorn axis that will alter the way you communicate, learn and view the world between now and July 2020. Your beliefs will evolve and you might return to school or take up metaphysical study. Travel can become a major theme now, and you could also get more involved in your local community.

The Highlights LOVE

The good news: Tough Saturn has ended a three-year trek through your opposite sign of Sagittarius, a challenging cycle that put your partnerships to the test. And in November, lucky Jupiter arrives, attracting exciting growth and long-term prospects. But your work’s not done: Saturn is now in your eighth house of intimacy, teaching your tough but crucial lessons about how relationships are built to last. Prepare to face any fears and trust issues, clearing the path for happily-ever-after through hard work and humility.

MONEY & CAREER

New work opportunities arise this year, as enterprising Jupiter visits your diligent sixth house. You’re learning to delegate, organize and run life like a well-oiled machine. Bored or between gigs? You might just take an interim “bridge job” to pay the bills while you figure out your next moves. July’s eclipse in your money house could bring an exciting opportunity—a good reason not to rush into anything too permanent! With studious Saturn in your long-term wealth zone, it’s time to learn more about investing, real

estate and passive income. You could get serious about paying off debt and building a nest egg.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Lunges, squats and Burpees, oh my! Expansive Jupiter is in your sixth house of health and fitness, pushing you to make wellness an adventure. Clean eating and plenty of movement are the stars’ prescription for happiness—and all the better if you can run around outdoors! Fresh air and nature will reset you, and with innovative Uranus starting an eight-year visit to your holistic and mystical twelfth house this May, contemplative time near water can soothe your soul.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Sift through your inner circle—and tighten the borders a bit. Stern Saturn and shadowy Pluto in your intimate eighth house reveals the leakers and haters in your midst. Have you been too quick to trust? A few loyalty tests wouldn’t hurt, Gemini. Fascinating new friends could pop up, both locally and from afar, thanks to four of this year’s eclipses that draw inspiring kindred spirits your way. u

teady as she goes! In 2018, the astrological emphasis is on stability. That’s not a concept that Geminis normally gravitate toward, but it’s one you may welcome with open arms now. Until November, expansive Jupiter is visiting Scorpio and your sixth house of health, daily work and organization. Suddenly, you want order in the Gemini court! And who could blame you? Jupiter spent a good part of last year in Libra and your dramatic fifth house, bringing excitement but a fair share of chaos or upheaval. Now, it’s time to simplify and prioritize. Less is more!

Hard work and steady progress will pay off now, both at the office and in your life. You’re inspired to create systems that keep life humming along, and to treat your body like a temple. Get into the groove of daily work and routines, enjoying that pleasant vibe of being “in the zone.” It doesn’t matter so much what you’re doing as it does how you feel while you’re doing it. And your diligence will certainly pay off, perhaps near the July 12 Cancer solar eclipse, which could bring a new work or moneymaking opportunity out of the blue. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

GEMINI 2018 HOROSCOPE

Adventurous Jupiter in your wellness zone makes this the perfect year for clean eating, regular exercise and time enjoying nature. Fresh air and fitness: your prescription for happiness in 2018. Some Geminis may get doctor’s orders to move more, or a health issue may require you to tune into your body instead of ignoring it. This could be a blessing in disguise, especially if it forces you to slow down and dial back excessive stress. Gemini, your sign isn’t famous for knowing your limits (what are those, anyway?), but too much multitasking will wear you out. Aim to balance mind, body and spiritual pursuits and live a more balanced life. You’ll be celestially spurred onward—and inward—right before your birthday. On May 15, changemaker Uranus makes a huge leap, entering Taurus and your twelfth house of closure, healing and spirituality for the first time in 77 years. With this pioneering planet here, you could become deeply involved in metaphysics, energy work or holistic wellness. You might begin a path of recovery from an addiction or begin the kind of eye-opening inner work that leads you to make sweeping lifestyle changes. Uranus will be here until April 2026, provoking a deep, soul-level makeover. Since this progress-driven planet rules technology, you might connect with a spiritual community online or sell your own healing services virtually. Toward the end of the year, exciting partnership opportunities could arise. On November 8, wholehearted Jupiter will enter your opposite sign of Sagittarius for 13 months, drawing inspiring people into your orbit. Get ready for a relationship revolution, or some dynamic business duos. Longtime couples or work partners could evolve, The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

moving into new roles or seeking adventurous horizons to tackle together. A lucrative overseas client could come your way, or you may start traveling to explore a joint work venture. Single Geminis could meet someone with life-partner potential, and—surprise!—they may be nothing like the person you envisioned yourself walking the aisle with. You could connect with someone of a wildly different background or even fall into a longdistance love affair. Will relocation be in the stars? You’ll need until 2019 to figure that part out. For now, explore with an open heart and mind. And before you rush into anything permanent, sober Saturn puts some yellow caution tape around eager Jupiter’s starry-eyed plans. Saturn is now in Capricorn until 2020, putting weight on your eighth house of intimacy, joint ventures and mergers. Rather than rush to put a ring on it, obey the ringed taskmaster and take it slow. Or slow-ish…Jupiter’s tantalizing powers can only be resisted so much! Just make sure that any alliances you get into can go the distance. Now is the time for partnerships that are exciting but also built to last.

Jupiter in Scorpio: Healthy choices. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Healthy, wealthy and wise? This trinity could be your recipe for success this year, Gemini, as bountiful Jupiter lunges and squats its way through Scorpio and your orderly, fitness-focused sixth house.

“With expansive Jupiter in your wellbeing zone, health becomes a priority. You might get serious about clean eating, regular exercise and a toxin-free lifestyle.” and let emotions guide you. In some ways, this was good for your heady sign. Contrary to your “wild and crazy” reputation, many Geminis actually have a controlling side, especially when it comes to their feelings. But with outspoken Jupiter here, the floodgates broke open. A romance or creative project may have consumed your time, which left the rest of your life in a bit of disarray. Now, your analytical side takes the wheel, and your focus turns to practical matters. You want systems and processes that make life run like a well-oiled machine. Call in the cleanup crews and book the personal trainer! Unfurl your Feng Shui bagua map and declutter your money corner—or go full Marie Kondo and get rid of things that “don’t inspire joy.” Less is more! This cycle, which only happens every 12 years, may not be the “sexiest” time of your life, but it will certainly be grounding. Philosophical Jupiter helps you find the adventure in the little things—which is actually a beautiful way to be. While you might find yourself sweating the small stuff (there will be a lot of it!), you’ll also appreciate the little things and enjoy life’s simpler pleasures. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Look back to that time, if you can remember it, for clues of what could resurface. With expansive Jupiter in your wellbeing zone, health becomes a priority. You might get serious The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

about clean eating, regular exercise and a toxinfree lifestyle. Turn self-care into an adventure,: try upbeat group classes (such as a dance-yoga-cardio fusion) or combine physical activity with time in nature. The great outdoors will revive your soul, whether you’re biking, gardening or doing Burpees on the beach. A pet could bring joy this year. Caveat: Jupiter is the god of the feast, so even if you’re eating healthy fare, your appetite (and by association, your waistline) can expand during this indulgent Jupiter cycle. You may go up a size or two but have perfect health in your checkups— and if so, you might just embrace the new curves or cushioning. Or, use this opportunity to dive into curious Jupiter’s love of learning, and research nutrition and healthy living. Which foods agree with your systems? Do you need more vitamins or supplements? Get a full panel of tests done. The sixth house rules the digestive system, and you may benefit from taking a daily probiotic, trying colon hydrotherapy or improving your “gut health.” Swap chemical-laden cleaning and beauty products for natural ones. If eating organic seems too pricey, you could join a CSA (community-supported agriculture) co-op that gives an affordable weekly bundle of local produce. For some Geminis, Jupiter in the sixth house can reveal a health diagnosis or bring doctor’s orders to make a lifestyle change. This could be a blessing in disguise, especially if it leads to early detection. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

GEMINI 2018 HOROSCOPE

Stress has been linked to many diseases, so even the fittest of Geminis should make a dedicated effort to reduce it. If you have a sedentary job, get up and move every hour or try out a standing desk. Keep that inner micromanager in check—just because you can do ten people’s jobs, doesn’t mean you should. Recommended reading for Type A Geminis: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, which distinguishes between your Zone of Excellence (things you’re good at but not passionate about) and your Zone of Genius (things you’re naturally gifted at and love to do). Inch your way into the genius zone this year. The sixth house also governs your work processes. How organized are you and where could you have better systems that will keep your life humming along efficiently? There’s a Type A side to every Gemini—you’re ruled by intellectual Mercury, after all—and this year, it can come out with a vengeance. Prepare to give the other Mercury-ruled sign, Virgo, a run for its micromanaging money! From spreadsheets to budgeting apps to hiring a virtual assistant, you’ll be on a mission to keep life feeling sane and simplified, even as you grow. The sixth house rules helpful people, and you’ll do well learning how to delegate to capable assistants and specialists. Time is money, Gemini—you don’t have to do it all yourself ! The hours you’ll save could be used to hone your craft or take better care of your body. Just be kind to the people you train or pass the torch to, taking the time to explain your process. You might put together an instruction manual that breaks it down step-by-step. That way, you have a better chance of them doing everything to your exacting standards! The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Feeling bored with your job? Hunting for a new gig? Don’t rush into anything permanent if you’re not sure what you want. This year is better spent sharpening your tools than suffering in something that’s the wrong fit. With free-spirited Jupiter in your administrative sixth house, this year could be perfect for a “bridge job”—something easy and breezy that doesn’t drain your vital energy. Save your brain cells and energy for productive learning in your off hours. Jupiter rules higher education, making this an ideal transit to polish your skills, earn certifications, or work toward mastery. If you have to do “practice” sessions to get really good at your craft, or work a set number of unpaid hours to earn a state license, this would be the ideal time to do it. The barter system can pay off—for example, you could build your entrepreneurial friend a free website as a way of learning Wordpress design, or you might apprentice with a craftsperson to get an inside glimpse of their expertise. Sitting at the feet of a master is worth every unpaid internship hour during this Jupiter transit, which favors experiencebased learning. A job offer could arrive from the service industry or a “green” sector, or you might be drawn to explore booming areas in wellness and technology. Some of the least sexy-sounding jobs are the most stable now, so you might be inspired to explore fields such as solar power, occupational therapy or computer coding. During this Jupiter transit, your top goal might be to earn a steady paycheck in a field you enjoy, where you’ll always be gainfully employed. With outspoken Jupiter in this nature-loving zone, you could become an advocate for climate change prevention or wildlife preservation. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

GEMINI 2018 HOROSCOPE

Creative work, perhaps for a world-bettering cause, could be part of this year’s cosmic lineup. From May through August, Jupiter will travel in a rare and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) to healing Neptune, which is in Pisces and your tenth house of success. You’ll go farther by adopting an attitude of humble service, rather than trying to elbow your way to the top or “make” things happen. Cutting corners and forcing an agenda will flop, especially with Jupiter in your meticulous sixth house. Karmic Neptune is a pro at manifesting, so engage in creative visualization as part of your search for a higher calling. During this Jupiter-Neptuen mashup, you’re called to deeply examine your motives: Why do you want something so badly? Is the payoff for you and you alone, or will it benefit the world at large? Greed won’t be rewarded during this JupiterNeptune alignment, but loyal leadership will. As your fellow Gemini John F. Kennedy, Jr. famously said in his Inaugural address, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” Apply this to your ambitious pursuits, and you’ll rise to rewarding heights.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Partner up! November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Table for two, please! In November, Jupiter will sail into Sagittarius and your partnership house, blessing you with a 13-month cycle of major relationship growth. Talk about balm for your soul! As the zodiac’s Twin, your sign is happiest when you have an adventurous plus-one by your side! And you’ll have plenty of options as 2018 draws to a close. Jupiter could bring a bounty of compatible people into your sphere, from a long-term romantic partner to an inspiring business collaborator. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Worldly Jupiter could spark synergy with someone from another culture or background, perhaps a person you meet while traveling. A long-distance romance could heat up, or you could launch an entrepreneurial project with someone in another zip code. Risk-taker Jupiter inspires you to roll the dice: nothing ventured, nothing gained! Your existing commitments will also go through changes, as you adjust the levels of give-and-take to create more harmony and equality. Longtime couples could renew their vows, travel together or shift into different roles. For example, if you’ve been the breadwinner, your mate could suddenly become the household high earner. If you’re always the star, prepare to play Best Supporting Actor. Has a relationship run its course? If you’ve outgrown your connection, philosophical Jupiter could find you parting ways amicably. Don’t plan on being single for long, though! Jupiter in Sagittarius could call in a serious contender who balances you out beautifully. Caveat: You’ll need to stretch beyond your comfort zone and relinquish a little control. But with adventurous Jupiter steering the ship, you’ll quickly see the benefits of trading your tight grip for inspiring companionship.

Saturn in Capricorn: Intimate ties. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Let’s be honest: “forever” isn’t a word that your changeable sign takes to readily. Well, Gemini, the next three years have some interesting lessons in store about intimacy, merging and permanent commitments—the kind that you can’t back out of on a whim.

GEMINI 2018 HOROSCOPE

and integrity, has shifted into Capricorn and your eighth house of permabonding. It’s time to get serious about your relationships and to strengthen any shaky areas. Saturn rewards hard work and dedication, and it cracks the whip when we try to cut corners. Call in the experts and mentors, from financial advisors to couple’s therapists. Saturn’s tests often demand professional guidance. You can’t life-hack or DIY your way through every situation, and with Saturn here, there’s no faking it ‘til you make it. The eighth house rules shared finances and property, which will add heft to your long-term wealth planning. Saturn gets you serious about stuff like consolidating debt, buying or selling real estate or paying off back taxes. Merging your money should not be done lightly, so before you leap into any joint ventures, research the heck out of the other party. Pay an attorney to review or draft contracts and protect your intellectual assets. If you’re engaged, this might be the time for a pre-nup, or at least, to keep some things in your own name. When it comes to money, set your sights on slow and steady growth. Don’t expect overnight results for anything you do. Slowly but surely, you could start earning passive income or returns on investments, as long as you stay the course. While you should avoid get-rich-quick ideas and pyramid schemes like the plague, you might explore legitimate affiliate opportunities, such as an Amazon store or reselling an online program you love for commission. If there’s a product that’s changed your life—an essential oil or supplement, for example—you might become a distributor through a direct sales program. Be discerning and research thoroughly.

Obviously you’ll want to keep this as a side hustle instead of quitting your day job. Think of this as a little extra padding, not income you rely on—at least, for now. Some Geminis will move into binding arrangements: cohabitation, marriage, starting a family, opening a shared business. Don’t rush, though! Saturn in your eighth house is like a long engagement—a chance to work out the kinks and discover any obstacles that could interfere with a relationship’s longevity. You’ll find out exactly how “ready” you are for the big leagues, because Saturn will test your mettle. Like a building inspector searching for flaws in the foundation, Saturn demands that everything is up to code before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. If you discover that you’re not quite there, don’t force yourself to move forward. You don’t have to call off the wedding (literally or metaphorically), but postponing might be the best idea. Saturn’s lessons can be inconvenient and deeply humbling—but in the long run, they can save you loads of heartache! Libido: missing in action? Repressive Saturn in your erotic eighth house can dim your mojo for a minute. You could be consumed with weighty emotions or processing some heavy baggage, which doesn’t exactly put you in a frisky mood. Maybe the permanence of a commitment has put a damper on the fantasy that first turned you on. Where’s the mystery, the longing? Seeing the same person day in, day out—with sweatpants, breakouts and morning breath—isn’t really doing it for you. What’s a playful and lusty Gemini to do? During this transit, you may resonate with the teachings of psychotherapist Esther Perel, a modern love author ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

and TED speaker who explores the tension between humans’ dueling needs for security and novelty. Perel, a psychotherapist, explores how autonomy can keep relationships feeling alive. Her books Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence and The State of Affairs: Rethinking Infidelity can provide grounding perspective during any turbulent times. Get a doctor’s opinion before you head to divorce court, Gemini. Your hormone levels can greatly influence your sexual desire—and the only “chemistry” that’s off could be your biochemistry. You might check out programs such as the Flo Living Center (www.floliving.com), which helps clients with fertility and hormone stabilization through changes in diet, exercise and nutrition. For women, this Saturn phase could bring changes to your cycle and reproductive system. If you’re trying to get pregnant, Saturn could make it a bit more challenging. Single Geminis, take it easy on yourself. You could feel daunted by the idea of putting yourself out there with cautious Saturn at the helm. Trust issues and past-based anxieties could arise. Don’t force yourself into halfhearted Tinder-ing. Your time could be better used working with a therapist or healer to get to the heart of these fears. Through diligence, and by facing your shadow, you’ll emerge stronger and more self-aware—truly ready for the level of vulnerability that an intimate relationship demands. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988 to 1991, so if you’re old enough to remember that time, you may find patterns repeating themselves. This go-round, Saturn will be joining transformational The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Pluto, which is in Capricorn from 2008 until 2024. This could be an interesting combo because Pluto rules the hidden aspects of ourselves, while Saturn gives everything tangible form. Deep emotions that have been secretly brewing could break the surface in 2018. Mystical Pluto and grounded Saturn in this esoteric realm hone your healing gifts and boost your interest in spirituality. Your own psychic abilities could sharpen. You might explore practitioners who specialize in Reiki, acupuncture, pastlife regression or hypnotherapy. If you’ve been struggling with addiction or mental health issues, the combined influence of Saturn and Pluto will make those impossible to ignore. There’s no shame in reaching out for support—we can’t fix our problems alone, Gemini. Are the people on Team Gemini worthy of innercircle status? Untrustworthy operators will be exposed by Saturn and Pluto, and you’ll no longer be able to look the other way when their shady behavior arises. Geminis are excellent storytellers, but the danger of this is that you can deceive yourself, or only see the parts of people that serve your narrative. This year’s stars will open your eyes, forcing you to face the whole truth. The best insurance policy: Surround yourself with friends who operate from the highest place of integrity. On that note, are you doing the same? This cycle can attract people who mirror parts of yourself that need to heal and evolve. Before you point the finger of blame, take inventory of your own behavior. Is there deflection or projection going on? We’re not saying you should stick around ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

in a draining or abusive situation. But reclaim your power by owning your choices and making better ones going forward.

Uranus in Taurus: Going deep. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Who are the people you call friends? That cast of characters has changed dramatically in the past seven years. While you still may have your true-blue crew, you’ve connected with some cutting-edge collaborators and joined a new soul tribe or two. This is the handiwork of revolutionary Uranus, which entered Aries and your eleventh house of groups back in March 2011, shaking up the status quo. With Uranus in this radical and technologydriven zone, some Gems became quite a presence on social media—for better or worse. (Geminis Kanye West and Donald Trump both sowed their share of Uranian chaos and controversy with Twitter rants during this cycle.) In group scenarios, you’ve been the person willing to rock the boat or take an unorthodox path. You’ve gained new followers and alienated others. With Uranus in this political zone, you may have become a spokesperson for an important social cause. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, and this May 15, the side-spinning planet will move into Taurus, activating your twelfth house of healing, closure and the subconscious until 2026. Life could get a little trippy! Uranus will plunge you into more internal waters, a rich time for spiritual and creative development. You’ve been a fixture on certain social scenes, but Uranus in Taurus sparks a desire for solitude and retreat.

Turn inward, Gemini. Your best work will now be done behind the scenes. This could be a powerful time for recovery from an addiction, deep forgiveness work or healing codependence. Trailblazing Uranus helps you summon the courage to plumb your own emotional depths and face the unknown. Therapy and spiritual counseling can be especially powerful, but beware falling under the spell of a guru figure. With Uranus in this passive zone, you’re tempted to hand your authority over to a charismatic person. Remember, someone can guide you to finding answers, but they already exist within you. Mirror, mirror: The next seven years will give you a front-row seat to the parts of yourself that need healing or evolving. The twelfth house rules aspects that we disown or project onto others. Shame, past trauma, insecurity—all of the “demons”— could make an appearance as Uranus exposes your shadow side. How will you know? A person will enter your life who irritates you, pushes your buttons or seems bent on sabotaging your success. You’ll encounter scenarios where control eludes your grasp or you’re caught embarrassingly offguard. When this happens, don’t fight—surrender. Recognize that you’re being shown crucial information about yourself. This person or situation is simply reflecting something that’s happening within you. And you’re either in denial about it or it’s a “blind spot” that you need to investigate. As the saying goes, you’ve got to deal in order to heal. Avoid falling into a victim mindset. If you find yourself thinking, “Why is this happening to ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

me?” look inward first. Ask yourself, where does this situation reveal where I may not be operating with integrity? Uranus can be jarring when it delivers a wakeup call. But its sole intention is to incite change and progress. If you’ve been ignoring a nagging physical or mental health issue, get it checked out. With Uranus in this health-conscious zone, symptoms that flare are a blessing in disguise, helping you detect a problem before it gets any bigger. With shock-jock Uranus in this mystical zone until 2026, you could undergo a spiritual and emotional makeover. You may receive undeniable “signs” that awaken your higher consciousness: repeating number sequences (such as glancing at the clock and seeing 11:11 or 4:44), déjà vu moments, vivid dreams that are prophetic or involve a departed loved one. Your views on life and death may change, and you may develop psychic abilities. Your beliefs could undergo a radical transformation. The twelfth house rules institutions and parts of society that are hidden away, including hospitals, jails and impoverished communities. You may become passionate about an issue related to this: reform of the prison system or cutting-edge health treatments and clinical trials. Maybe you’ll lead retreats, visit an ashram or spend time at an artist’s colony. Going off the grid can lead to major epiphanies about life and your soul purpose. Uranus will be retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019. It will dip back into Aries for one final hurrah on November 6, giving you one last chance to clean up your social circles and The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

boost your online presence. Uranus will hunker into Taurus for the long haul on March 7, 2019 and it will stay until April 26, 2026. After that it will move into Gemini, which will bring an exciting seven-year cycle of reinvention. Until then, think of yourself as being on a spiritual and emotional decluttering mission, stripping away what no longer serves you, to make room for a bold new chapter.

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Say what? January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Say what? You’re a consummate communicator, Gemini, and this year’s game-changing eclipses could give your verbal and intellectual gifts a few chances to shine. Four of 2018’s five eclipses will fall on the Leo/Aquarius axis, igniting your third house of local action, ideas and self-expression (ruled by Leo) and your ninth house of travel, study and entrepreneurship (powered by Aquarius). These eclipses, which will span from February 2017 until January 2019, are here to reshape the way you think, speak and present yourself. You could gain recognition as a thought leader or an influencer on social media. Is there a book or a blog in you, waiting to hatch? Your message, no matter what the medium, could have far-reaching influence in 2018. Opportunities to build your platform—or just spontaneously step up to the mic—could come when you least expect them. Be ready to pitch at a moment’s notice! The saying “think globally, act locally” could become your mantra in 2018, as the eclipses push you to take a more vocal role in your community. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

Maybe you get involved in homegrown activism or become a voice of change in your neighborhood. Teaming up with like-minded people around a shared agenda can take your plans to new heights. Keep an eye out for kindred spirits, both in-person and virtually. Siblings, neighbors and colleagues could play an important role.

the very first in a series of eclipses on the Cancer/ Capricorn axis, which will reform your approach to spending, saving and investing between now and July 2020.

Over the next two years, you could buy or sell property, earn passive income and get savvier about your nest egg. This first eclipse, the only one from this grouping in 2018, prompts you to prepare. Start by getting all your ducks (and ducats) in a row. If you’re the type who never even looks at your bank balance, make it a weekly practice. Our friend Kate Northrup, author of Money: A Love Story—which you should totally put on your summer reading list— recommends checking it daily, even if it’s negative. And if you’ve got a li’l nest egg going, look into ways you can multiply it.

Money momentum: Incoming! On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse arrives in Cancer, rippling through your work and finance sector. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake us up and inspire big shifts. This could plant the seeds for a raise, promotion or an entirely new gig. It’s

This eclipse also helps you start a new habit or routine. If you’re, say, thinking of going vegan, this can be a good time to begin the process. The results of this eclipse will unfold in the next six months. You’ll also get a complimentary confidence boost, since the second house rules self-worth. u

While you’re busy becoming a local sensation, crosscultural and international synergies can also heat up. You could be tapped as a motivational speaker or see your work published. This could be one of those years that you become “really big in Asia” or find success in surprising places off the beaten path.

The Highlights LOVE

Cupid calling! Get ready for a major year of growth in the game of love. Expansive Jupiter spends most of the year in your passionate fifth house, bringing lusty new attractions and blessing you with the It factor. But it won’t stay casual for long with serious Saturn in your committed relationship house until 2020. Longtime couples could be tested, possibly by an outside attraction or a need to prioritize romance again.

MONEY & CAREER

Unpredictable Uranus finally wraps its seven-year tour of your career house in May (making one last pit stop in before moving on for good). Your professional path will finally start to see traction and you can start settling into a more stable groove. But you might enjoy going indie, as Uranus enters your technology zone, setting the stage for a virtual, work-from-anywhere business. Four eclipses in your money houses will bring new opportunities to earn, invest and merge for mutual gain. July’s eclipse in Cancer could spark a solo venture, while Saturn in your partnership zone could bring a heavy-hitting collaborator your way.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Free at last! Weighty Saturn just spent the last three years in your sixth house of wellness, making it hard to find the time and energy for fitness. A health issue may have forced you to restructure your lifestyle or change your eating and exercise habits. With Saturn gone, balance and vitality are restored. The July 12 Cancer solar eclipse could bring a big energy surge and even a bold new look.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Last year was heavily focused on family, as Jupiter toured your domestic sector. You could begin 2018 adapting to changes: maybe a new home, a relocation or an addition to the family. In February and August, eclipses in your real estate sector could bring a property sale. Midyear, your social life could get an extreme makeover, as innovative Uranus enters your eleventh house of group activity. You’ll be drawn to cutting-edge communities and pioneering people, both in-person and online. You could even get involved in local politics or collaborate for a cause. u

This year features a rare two full moons in your sign that bookend the year. The first is a supermoon on January 1, and it kicks off 2018 with a bang. The second one arrives on December 22, and it’s the manifestation of a super-charged Cancer new moon on July 12, which is also a solar eclipse.

CANCER 2018 HOROSCOPE

With Jupiter in this lusty and live-out-loud zone, 2018 could bring amorous adventures your way. Take risks by being upfront about your needs and revealing your desires openly. For single Cancers, your pulse could beat wildly for someone from a different background or culture. You’re drawn to people who live life as an unscripted adventure, rather than those who follow a (yawn) predictable path. For couples, Jupiter could bring a romantic revival, and you’ll crave more frisky, flirty free time together. Soon enough, all Cancers will realize just how well this playful energy suits you! But it won’t be all fun and games. Structured Saturn is spending the next three years in your opposite sign of Capricorn, bringing form and function to your seventh house of committed partnerships. That “one-night stand” might turn out to be your future spouse, and a “just for fun” freelance gig could blossom into a flourishing career. In due time, you’ll know—but don’t add the pressure of expectations too quickly. With weighty Saturn in your partnership house, you’ll be in no mood for flaky people. Just because you’re having fun doesn’t mean you don’t want substance and clear communication. If Jupiter stirs up drama, Saturn will put the kibosh on it. Some Crabs could go through a tough split, a healing course of couple’s therapy or a period of deep questioning about what you want in a mate. Other Cancers will get engaged, married or decide they’re ready to get serious with one special person. A business partnership could also go through a testing period—or it could turn rock-solid official.

Your career picks up steam in the second half of the year. On May 15, changemaker Uranus will end an unpredictable seven-year gallop through Aries and your professional tenth house. Whew! If work has been all over the map since 2011, stability will return. You’ve experimented and learned a lot, but for a sign that craves financial security, the stars haven’t consistently delivered that. Mid-May, Uranus will move into Taurus and your eleventh house of teamwork and technology, staying until April 2026. This could bring fascinating new friendships, opportunities to launch an indie business or work virtually, and a pull to the unconventional. But since Uranus will no longer be forming a tense square (90-degree angle of challenge) to your Sun, you can bid adieu to the pressure and chaos that may have colored your professional path. Well, mostly! With four of the year’s five eclipses touching down in your financial houses, there could still be a few curveballs or unplanned developments. Once Jupiter enters Sagittarius and your orderly, health-conscious sixth house on November 8, you’ll move into a 13-month cycle that puts your life on a clearer track. The decadence and debauchery have been a blast, but you’re ready for simpler times. You’ll end the year on a grounded note—with a heck of a lot of good memories for the books!

After an insular 2017, you’ll emerge from that trademark shell—ta daaa!—bubbling with creative ideas and irrepressible joie de vivre. Good news: You’ll find plenty of willing playmates to join your merry adventures, Cancer. This cycle, which happens every 12 years, is like a cosmic coming-out party. From your talents to your temperament, everything is on display in a major #nofilter way. You could debut a new hairstyle, start rocking bold colors and wild statement pieces, or become a style icon a la your signmates Solange, Debbie Harry and Chloe Bailey (of the talented R&B sister act Chloe x Halle). Your creative sign already has great style, so have fun with it. Pair the vintage treasures you’re famous for scoring with modern pieces to create a fresh and unique look. Who knows? You could be Project Runway material or a street style star before 2018 is through! Are you an artist, musician or actor? Practice your acceptance speech: under this dramatic starmap, you could give the performance of a lifetime. Your Golden Era has arrived, and you can produce some of your most heartfelt and head-turning works in 2018. With global Jupiter at the helm, you could be “really big in Europe” or reach a more international audience. Cast a wide net when sharing your work.

Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Page back 12 years if you can—you could see recurring themes. Get set for a romantic revolution! Try-anything Jupiter in this live-out-loud zone will give you charisma and confidence in spades. Naturally, this celestial swagger makes you super-attractive to a slew of admirers. Single Crabs could go on an epic dating spree or get wrapped up in a superhot, sexy romance. For once, your securityminded sign won’t be so worried about “where things are going” (duh—anywhere you can get frisky, of course!). When you’re not all invested in walking down the aisle or nailing down a commitment, you can let loose and try things you normally wouldn’t—an educational experience in its own right! So enjoy the tingly feelings and the opportunity to experiment with different desires, roles and personas. Cosplay, anyone? With global ambassador Jupiter playing Cupid, cross-cultural chemistry and memorable vacation flings could heat up. Pack a sultry little somethingsomething in your travel bag, Cancer—and open your mind and heart to people wildly different than your usual type. If you normally go for buttoned-up bankers, you could fall for a sensitive surfer or woo-

Maybe you’ll meet someone who doesn’t even speak the same language as you, “communicating” through non-verbal chemistry and letting you bodies do the talking! The fifth house is about romantic love, and not necessarily commitment. But even longtime couples will enjoy this mojo-spiking influence. With Jupiter here, you’ll get freer about expressing your desires, which could spark a second honeymoon. The fifth house also rules fertility, so a visit from the proverbial stork could also be in the stars (consider yourself notified!). An outside attraction is possible—but don’t be alarmed if you develop a crush or feel the need to flirt with every stranger you meet. As long as you keep healthy boundaries, you can bring that amped-up libido home to bae. But careful you don’t get swept away, especially while Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, a transit that could also bring back a difficult (though dashing) ex. Jupiter’s expansive influence gets even more sweeping from May to August this year, when the red-spotted planet forms a flowing and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) to imaginative Neptune, which is in Pisces and your horizon-broadening ninth house. This rare celestial sync-up could bring love or even fame from all corners. Artists could see their name in lights and a surging fanbase. Couples should book romantic travel now if possible, and

make a point to give day-to-day life an adventurous “staycation” vibe by trying new hobbies, hangouts and experiences. Single? The Jupiter-Neptune trine encourages you to be as open as possible about your desires. You could manifest the love of your life (no joke!) by telling the universe what you want. There’s one catch, though: You have to do it from a place of gratitude and abundance, rather than neediness. In other words, do not follow in the footsteps of fellow Cancer Tom Cruise in Jerry MacGuire and look for someone to “complete” you, or dwell in misery, loneliness and scarcity. Instead, work the Law of Attraction—a specialty of magnetic and mystical Neptune—and “act as if.” Do a little creative visualization, if you will. Imagine that you’ve already met your person, you’re deliriously happy together, and you’re thanking the universe for connecting you. Feel those feelings of bliss and fullness in your body. Those will radiate into the energetic field and act as a magnetic force. If you’re thinking “huh?” we recommend picking up the book Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks or Your Heart’s Desire by Sonia Choquette. Remember: You may know what you want, but leave the universe in charge of the how, when and where. The saying “a watched pot never boils” could ring true. No matter what you’re trying to

Adopt an attitude of adventure and enjoy the journey. This year, it truly is more important—and enriching—than the destination!

Since the sixth house rules service, you could feel a deep calling to make a difference in the world. You could move into a career in a “green” or wellness field, or explore booming occupations in the service industry.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Healthy living.

Not quite sure what that looks like? This Jupiter phase could be perfect for a “bridge job,” one that allows flexible hours and minimal stress. Use the additional time and energy to take skill-building classes and earn certifications, which will position you for a higher income bracket.

Bring on the plant-based dinners and Pilates, the natural dyes and cruelty-free skincare. You could shift from wild to mild before the year is through— and hopefully, you’ll have crossed a few things off your bucket list in the process! With Jupiter in this wellness-minded sixth house, you could decide to make a big lifestyle change, or you might get doctor’s orders to, say, lower your cholesterol or blood pressure. You could adopt a pet, which could give you an incentive to get out and about. With outdoorsy Jupiter in this natureloving zone, fresh air and sunshine put extra fuel in your tank.

If you’re the typical caretaking Crab, there’s a good chance you’re also an “overfunctioner”— someone who does everyone else’s emotional heavy lifting. Well, drop that baggage and start delegating. The sixth house rules helpful people, and with venturesome Jupiter here, you’re finally willing to stop micromanaging and get some assistance! Outsource to skilled specialists instead of being cheap and DIY-ing. Upgrade if you’ve got a staff of slackers—and put ‘em on notice that they’ll have to shape up or ship out.

Structured Saturn is spending the next three years moving through Capricorn and your committed relationship house, turning business and romantic alliances serious. While you might enjoy playing the field, the person you thought was just a passing fling could end up sticking around for the long haul! And that might be for reasons you didn’t plan. For example, a onenight stand could produce a love child (oops!)— and you decide to go forward with the pregnancy. Or a newish partner you’re fairly certain is “the One” needs a visa, and you deliberate marrying them so they can stay in the country. Tough decisions indeed! Saturn rules tradition, rules and regulations, as well as maturity. There will be tests with the most important people in your life, ones that will strengthen resilient relationships—or topple those built on a flimsy foundation. Dynamic duos that can go the distance could emerge on rock-solid terrain, and you’ll feel confident moving forward together for the long haul. But you may need to call

in the big guns—a couple’s therapist, a business coach—to help you hash out your differences first. Capricorn is your opposite sign, and we’ll be honest: It can be bracingly eye-opening when tough taskmaster Saturn makes this harsh angle to your Sun. Cancers born from June 22 to July 6 will feel Saturn’s stress the most in 2018. You may be forced to renegotiate the terms of a partnership, or you could deal with challenging people who seem to throw roadblocks and resistance in your path. But it’s also possible that this Saturn cycle will just get you grown-up and ready to make things official. Some Cancers have a bit of a Peter Pan in them— but mostly it’s a self-protective fear of getting hurt or abandoned that makes you keep people at arm’s length. Now, you might be ready to leave those excessive cautions behind. An engagement, wedding or vow renewal could solidify your security for the long haul. Single Crabs could be drawn to someone significantly older or younger than you, as Saturn rules age and generational differences. Or, you could meet someone through work or your more “serious” pursuits. Intensifying this transit, transformational Pluto is also in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024, putting your closest ties through a deep and seismic change.

With Saturn’s perseverance, you might finally unpack something that’s been blocking harmonious relationships for years. No more codependence and self-sabotage, Cancer. Let the healing commence! Coupled Crabs could go through a rough patch, too, when you feel out of sync with a partner or can no longer sweep glaring issues under the rug. Take a deep breath, square your shoulders and deal. If nothing else, you’ll emerge so much stronger as a duo, knowing you can make it to the other side of tough times and prevail. With Saturn here, you might take a short separation. Or, you could literally be kept apart due to a heavy work and travel schedule, family demands or other weighty responsibilities. In business, stop investing in would-be clients or collaborators who string you along but never come through. Players have no place in your sphere now, as their mind games will just exhaust you. Move on from unreliable energy vampires who dump their problems on you. With Saturn in this

Uranus in Taurus: Blaze an innovative new trail. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Your inner circle is about to get a makeover, Crab. As a sentimental water sign, you tend to keep people around forever. But are you due for an upgrade—or at least, ready to branch out and connect with a new tribe or two? On May 15, radical changemaker Uranus starts a seven-year journey through Taurus and your group activity zone. Out of the blue, you have the urge to connect with likeminded people around issues and interests that light your fire. Uranus is a social justice warrior, and your drive for change is dialed up now. You could make like fellow Cancer Elizabeth Warren (of “nevertheless she persisted” fame) and become a passionate political figure. Maybe you’ll skew more Elizabeth Gilbert (also a Crab) and take an Eat, Pray, Love style journey, leaning into the nomadic and bohemian vibes of the eleventh house. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, remaining there for about seven years. Since

CANCER 2018 HOROSCOPE

“With Uranus in your pioneering eleventh house, you’re being pushed to embrace progressive and cutting-edge ideas. Your own style and décor might skew avant-garde.” March 2011, Uranus has been in Aries and your tenth house of career, shaking up your professional path. You may have radically reinvented your resume or ventured into entrepreneurship. One Cancer friend of ours, a diehard animal rights activist, shut down her longtime photography business during this Uranus in Aries cycle. She took an easy day job in Corporate America, using her steady paycheck and free time to start a vegan, cruelty-free makeup line.

cutting-edge ideas. Your own style and décor might skew avant-garde. Tattoos, vibrant hair color, festival-inspired fashion? Those could become your new jam. Burn that Land’s End catalog and lace up the Lanvin sneakers. Shop local, small and indie. This is a great time to support artists, designers and businesses that use ethically-sourced materials or donate proceeds to charity. Get involved in civic matters or become a donor to a cause that lights your fire.

Having rabble-rouser Uranus in your structured tenth house was tricky to navigate. You may have chafed under the oppressive hand of a stern authority figure. If you were in a leadership role, the responsibility felt confining. You wanted liberty, a life and to pursue your own happiness.

While you’ll always enjoy your material comforts, the digital world is your new playground. Explore virtual platforms to promote a world-bettering message. Some Crabs could open a successful online business during this Uranus cycle. Is it time to hawk your DIY creations on Etsy or to sell your savvy services through email marketing? Uranus and the eleventh house both rule the airwaves. Television, radio, podcasting and vlogging are ripe for your creative touch.

Well, now’s your chance, Crab. From May 15, 2018 until April 2026, unconventional Uranus in this new, individualistic zone invites you to fly your freak flag at full mast. Uranus is the natural ruler of the zodiac’s eleventh house, so you’re getting a double shot of this disruptive and revolutionary energy. This is not a bad thing at all! However, your comfort-seeking sign skews toward security. Buckle up: During this new Uranus transit, the only real constant will be change. With Uranus in your pioneering eleventh house, you’re being pushed to embrace progressive and

Polishing your tech skills can boost your income. Complete an online certification course or check out a pioneering school like General Assembly, which offers the most cutting-edge training in design and digital skills. Since you’ll crave freedom, explore working remotely or flexing your hours. Who cares if you beam in that pitch deck from an Internet café in Bali or Berlin, as long as you meet your deadline? The wild, wired world awaits!

“The eighth house rules merging on all levels—these eclipses could bring a marriage, divorce, pregnancy or joint venture. In some way, you’re being propelled into more permanent terrain.” Are you a “hidden figure” on social media? With Uranus in this tech-savvy zone, you could become an outspoken presence in pixels. Whether you create an online alter ego or just start sharing more, you may gain influencer status. Download a few photofiltering apps and polish your 140-character quips! Caveat: Post mindfully, since rebellious Uranus can tempt you to stir the pot for kicks. The goal here is to make allies not enemies! The role you play on a team will shift over the next few years (and often!), as Uranus brings eye-opening lessons about group dynamics. You might even want to study NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) or body language techniques to get better at reading non-verbal cues. You may be asked to speak publicly on behalf of a department or organization. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get some media training now. Uranus will turn retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019 and during this backspin it will make one last dip into Aries from November 6, 2018 to March 7, 2019. This is your final chance to tweak your long-term goals or make a bold career move that’s aligned with your truest expression. You may also need to pause from the world-saving endeavors and attend to unexpected responsibilities, perhaps related to family or a financial obligation. On March 7, 2019 Uranus settles in for the long haul, stoking your indie spirit until April 26, 2026.

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Big money moves. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Money burns a hole in some Crabs’ pockets, while others clench it tightly in that crustacean-claw grip. But your relationship to finances is getting a makeover now, as a game-changing eclipse series falls on the Leo/Aquarius axis from February 2017 to January 2019, shifting the way you spend, earn, save and invest. In January and August, eclipses sweep through Leo and your daily income house. This could bring a job change, a promotion or an out-of-leftfield moneymaking opportunity. You might make a lifestyle change that allows you to build a nest egg or enjoy more quality of life. Some Cancers could have a “what is it all for, anyway?” moment, when you realize that you’d rather work to live, not live to work. You might even consider moving or downsizing. Big-picture finances take the spotlight in February and July, when eclipses land in Aquarius and your eighth house of investing, property and large lump sums. A sudden windfall, such as an inheritance or venture capital, could arrive. Or, you could get a tax bill or some other large expense that forces you to get savvier about money management. This could be a good year to pay down debt or buy real estate,

and these eclipses could bring surprising windows of opportunity. The eighth house rules merging on all levels—these eclipses could bring a marriage, divorce, pregnancy or joint venture. In some way, you’re being propelled into more permanent terrain. Shaky or half-baked relationships that can’t go the distance will be swept away. The good news? These eclipses are clearing a path (albeit abruptly) for serious contenders to move in.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: In the spotlight! July 12 Look who’s breaking into the spotlight now! On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse will beam into Cancer, giving you a turbo-powered fresh start. Not only is this day your personal new year (as there’s a new moon in your sign), you’ve got extra oomph to fly solo or advocate for a passion

project. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake us up and inspire big shifts. Speaking up for yourself isn’t always comfortable for your nurturing and cautious sign. But this lunation will kick off a two-year eclipse series on the Cancer/Capricorn axis, revamping the balance of give-and-take in your closest relationships. Single Crabs could meet long-term partners between now and July 2020, while coupled Cancers will see big shifts in all interpersonal dynamics. Some among your sign will leave unsatisfying relationships. Others may try therapy or other personal growth work to improve your connection. Business partnerships will also heat up. But this year’s eclipse is all about you: What do you want, Cancer? Define your priorities, clarify your message, get comfortable pitching ideas. Taking yourself seriously is the first step to growing your new fanbase! u

L E O J ULY 23-AUGUST 2 2

The Highlights LOVE

Ch-ch-changes! Your relationships are shifting, along with your priorities, as we enter the second year of a seismic series of eclipses in Leo and Aquarius. From 2017 to 2019, you’re going through major personal transformations, which will alter your entire approach to partnership. Eclipses bring surprising and swift events. You could make a quick exit from a romance that’s run its course or you might rush off to City Hall and tie the knot. Even rock-steady duos will go through a big growth phase. To top that off, in November, expansive Jupiter starts a 13-month visit to your passionate fifth house. One thing’s certain: Love will be anything but business as usual in 2018!

MONEY & CAREER

Ambitious frontiers await! Mid-May, revolutionary Uranus starts an eight-year visit to Taurus and your professional tenth house— its first time here in 77 years. Between now and 2026, you could explore a few wildly different career paths. Your work may involve technology or uniting people around a world-bettering cause. This year’s two Leo eclipses thrust you into the spotlight, possibly without notice. Keep your glam squad on call! But it won’t be all red carpets and rave reviews. Taskmaster Saturn is in your administrative sixth house for the next three years, demanding that everything you do is set up on a rock-solid foundation. There’s no The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Feel it to heal it? This year’s stars spotlight your emotional wellbeing, helping you become sound of mind, body and heart. Jupiter in your sensitive fourth house will prioritize downtime and selfcare. Meantime, structured Saturn is in your health and fitness zone until 2020, forcing you to get regimented and reduce stress. Regular exercise and healthy eating are your new nonnegotiables. You’ll need to say “no” (a Leo’s least favorite word!) to a few things so you can make time for Numero Uno. This could prove harder than it sounds, but set your FOMO aside in the name of your own health and happiness. July’s Cancer eclipse could be the perfect time for spiritual healing or a retreat near water.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Your clan takes center stage this year, as bountiful Jupiter visits Scorpio and your fourth house of home and family until November. This transit could bring a move, a pregnancy or a longoverdue renovation that turns Chateau Leo into everyone’s favorite crash pad. Your relationship with your mother, a child or a female relative could go through an important evolution. While there will be a few growing pains, your bond should get tighter by the end of this year. u ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

These seismic shifts are being powered by a series of eclipses in Leo, which touch down in your sign from February 2017 until January 2019. Eclipses sweep away what no longer serves you and usher in the new. Last year, you may have been catapulted into a new reality by the February 2017 Leo lunar eclipse and the now-epic Leo total solar eclipse that blanketed the continental U.S. in August 2017. While the rest of the zodiac was left with a trail

A solar eclipse on August 11 will give you another push to be bold and put yourself out there. 61

LEO 2018 HOROSCOPE

Meantime, your home life, relationships and career will all undergo changes—so don’t get too comfortable in that lion’s den! There are also two eclipses in Aquarius and your committed relationship house this year, which will radically revamp your romantic and business partnerships. You may find yourself drawn to a wildly different “type” or clicking with a kindred spirit out of the blue. As the Leo eclipses reshuffle your priorities, you’ll radiate a different kind of energy, which might change the type of people you attract. If you’re part of a solid duo, the role you play could evolve dramatically!

through Taurus and your professional tenth house. Between now and April 2026, your path may get exciting but unpredictable. You’ll crave more freedom and flexibility, and you could get involved in a cutting-edge business that involves technology (Uranus’ domain) or a progressive agenda (politics or social justice work, maybe?). Making a difference and supporting a good cause is right up your bighearted alley. If you’ve been working in a stagnant, ho-hum role, Uranus will shake that up. With your natural Leo star power, you could be tapped by headhunters or “discovered” while out and about. Stranger things have happened!

This year’s stars will give you roots and wings. While you’ll be out there in the wider world making your mark, 2018 also finds you craving domesticity and downtime. Expansive Jupiter will visit Scorpio until November 18, bringing new adventures to your fourth house of home, family and femininity. This year could bring a change of address or the expansion of your clan, perhaps through pregnancy or adoption. (In one notable example, Leo Kylie Jenner announced a pregnancy right before this cycle began, and will become a first-time mom while Jupiter is here.) The urge to nest, bake, decorate and nurture may strike with a vengeance. Good thing your sign loves to entertain, especially in your own regally-appointed digs! You’ll be more in tune with your emotions under these sensitive skies, so carve out enough solitude and manage any mood swings. Women and children could play an important role.

Change may seem like the only constant this year, but you do have some heavenly assistance if you want to get grounded. Helping to bring order to any cosmic chaos is taskmaster Saturn, which is visiting Capricorn and your systematic sixth house until the end of 2020. This year, Saturn is streamlining your approach to work, wellbeing and efficiency, teaching you important lifehacks and helping you get better at prioritizing. Managing stress will be tantamount. Most Leos don’t know their limits (what are those?), and besides, you hate to say “no” to an opportunity. But feeding your FOMO comes at a price. The stress, chaos and even health breakdowns aren’t worth the cost. Prepare to learn tough but important lessons about delegating and time management.

Personal life changes, and possible relocation, could be tied to shifts in your career. On May 15, irreverent Uranus will begin an eight-year voyage The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

“Time-out, Leo! While 2018 is a bustling year, your personal life will take a starring role. Until November, expansive Jupiter is in Scorpio and your fourth house of home and family, making your nest feel #blessed.” are now your guiding principles, and Jupiter can spark a creative renaissance. Heavy emotions will dissipate and you’ll feel ready to share the newand-improved Leo 2.0 with the world. Lights, camera, action!

Jupiter in Scorpio: Home at last. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Time-out, Leo! While 2018 is a bustling year, your personal life will take a starring role. Until November, expansive Jupiter is in Scorpio and your fourth house of home and family, making your nest feel #blessed. The fourth house sits at the very bottom of the astrology wheel, and it represents your foundations—emotional, financial, familial. What do you need to feel secure, Leo? This cycle, which only happens every 12 years, finds you rethinking what makes you truly feel rooted and connected to your clan. It’s a bit of a paradox, because on-the-go Jupiter rules travel—which is pretty much the opposite of the homey, hunkered-down fourth house vibe. Chateau Leo could be a bustling epicenter this year. Maybe you’ll host a rotating cast of houseguests, or rent out your place on Airbnb for extra income. You might explore investing in a weekend or vacation property. Some Leos may get a long-distance job offer—and just like that, you’re packing up and The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

moving across the country. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Page back for clues of what could emerge again. Have you dreamed of living abroad for a year—or even a couple months? Arrange a home swap or put your things in storage and go explore. Sure that sounds easier said than done, but with audacious Jupiter here, this is your time to take a bold leap! “Home” could soon be wherever you rest your head that night. You’ll learn how to bring the creature comforts that help you feel settled anywhere. Just be discerning while Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, which could stall any overly-ambitious plans. Take a break from draining relatives and constant couch-crashers, and honor your need for personal space. Luckily, Leos are adventurous souls, and it doesn’t take much to convince you to try new things. One friend of ours, the owner of a beautiful Victorian home, was approached by a location scout during this Jupiter transit—could they rent her home to shoot a movie? The producers put her family up in a hotel while they transformed her house into a film set— and she earned enough to pay her mortgage. Have you been a nomad or a renter for as long as you can remember? Jupiter could come along and make an honest homeowner out of you. While ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

LEO 2018 HOROSCOPE

Leos love the limelight, your regal sign also craves grand quarters where you can host your zillion friends, entertain and hold court. With biggeris-better Jupiter here, you may move to a larger place, renovate or redecorate. But even if it’s a 500-square-foot studio apartment, you’ll find a way to stuff everyone around a foldout table and serve an unforgettable feast—followed by an epic dance party! With Jupiter’s entrepreneurial influence stoking your indie spirit, 2018 is a great year to start a home-based business. That cottage industry you’ve been quietly developing could soon require its own office space! Carve out a corner—or take over a spare room—but make dedicated zones for your creativity to flourish. During this sensitive cycle, you might take a job that involves hospitality or working with families and children. With Jupiter at its farthest point away from your tenth house of career and corporate life, some Leos will want to work remotely or lighten their schedules altogether. Frankly, you’ll be a lot more productive from the comfort of your couch (or your cozy corner café) than you will in a fluorescent-lit cubicle. Craft a compelling case to cut your commute and the powers-that-be might just let you try it, even once or twice a week. Did someone say ma-ma? The fourth house rules motherhood and women. Some Leos could expand their clans this year via pregnancy or adoption, IVF or a blended family situation. Your relationship to your mother or a close female may go through a growth phase. Perhaps it’s time to move into new roles instead of viewing each other through old and outworn dynamics. In 2018, The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

you might get really into exploring your heritage and ancestry (especially on your mom’s side of the family tree). Under this nostalgic influence, you could vacation to favorite childhood haunts or bring a new love home to meet the family and tour your hometown. Your soul will be soothed by spending quality time with nurturing people who adore you unconditionally. Hopefully, you’re lucky enough to have a couple of those in your family tree. If not, carve out time for your “chosen family” and go visit beloved friends. Deepening your bonds, Jupiter will form a rare and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) to compassionate Neptune from May until August. Neptune is in your eighth house of intimacy, merging and shared resources—another superemotional part of the zodiac wheel. Your moods might be intense, but they’re also giving you nearpsychic guidance. The Jupiter-Neptune trine will sharpen your intuition, so carve out enough quiet time to tune in. Feelings can get complex and heavy at times, drawing you into their depths. This could be a productive time to work with a therapist, spiritual counselor or healer to process painful parts of your past. Is that the stork we see circling overhead? This alignment can make some Leos extra fertile, as flowy Neptune is in your reproductive sector and expansive Jupiter is in your family house. Even if you don’t get a bouncing bundle, you could make a “permanent” gesture such as getting engaged, buying a home together or moving in with a mate. With karmic Neptune in this wealth-driven sector, you might receive an inheritance or a financial gift from a relative. Maybe your great-aunt leaves you ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

Career-wise, a powerful woman could step in as a mentor and advisor—or she might become your official partner in a joint venture. You may score big with a business idea that’s marketed to women (especially moms). You could also earn a nice lump sum through real estate or a home-related venture. Is it time to get your broker’s license or take an interior design course? Paintbrush please! Jupiter in this sensitive part of your chart will stoke your creativity. An art class or design workshop could provide an inspired outlet for the intense energy you’ll channel during this emotional phase. Maybe you’ll take up the “home arts”—knitting, gardening, baking—to unwind. Jupiter in Scorpio brings out your inner granny, so don’t knock it ‘til you try it!

Leo is the natural ruler of the zodiac’s fifth house, and you’ll host lucky Jupiter here for a full 13 months. After spending most of 2018 surfing the emotion ocean, you’ll emerge from that cocoon as a fiery fixture on the scene. Lights, camera, action—this expressive Jupiter phase rouses your inner performance artist. You could attract fame or draw attention with your creative talents. Not only will you be bursting at the seams to share your brilliance, you’ll attract an eager audience. Build that fanbase, Leo! New romance—or rebooted passion—could end this year on a sizzling note. Grab the mistletoe— the holidays might be hot-hot-hot from start to finish! With Jupiter in this fertile zone, some Leos could get a surprise package…in the form of a positive pregnancy test! Single? Devote a chunk of your New Year’s resolutions to flirting, dating and enjoying epic love affairs. The fifth house is more about romantic love than actual commitment. Not that you won’t attract quality contenders, but your focus will be more on enjoying the moment than nailing down a LTR or picking out china patterns. For attached Leos, this is a great time to expand your comfort zone with travel, new hobbies and learning together. Flamenco lessons and a trip to Barcelona,

Saturn in Capricorn: Everything in its place. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Order in the Leo court! That royal edict comes courtesy of master-planner Saturn, the zodiac’s tough teacher and integrity inspector. For the next three years, Saturn will be marching through Capricorn and your sixth house of health, organization and work processes. It’s time to trim the excess and address your top priorities—the ones that keep your life humming happily along. (And no, you can’t have more than five of those, okay?) Put another way, what do you want to be the Queen or King of in this lifetime? Pick one or two things. Go! Let’s be honest, Leo. You have a habit of spreading yourself way too thin—not that anyone would know it. You make multitasking look so joyous and easy. Of course you’re having a blast planning the companywide picnic by yourself…all while raising a family, training for a charity 5K and running two side businesses…um, right? If there’s a leadership post open, your hand shoots skyward as if pulled by an invisible string. Your zodiac sign could be changed to “sign me up”! Well, Leo, it’s time to take a little break from all that extra-ness. The sixth house rules assistants and with managerial Saturn in this sector, delegating is the skill you need to sharpen. How about getting a little help around here? Start by taking stock of

your current support squad. Who are the people on Team Leo? And does Team Leo even exist? Weed out the slackers and upgrade to a capable crew. It’s time to start spreading the work around and focusing on what author Gay Hendrix calls your “zone of genius” in his book The Big Leap (recommended reading, BTW). Identify the time-sucks and call in the specialists. Maybe you hire a bookkeeper instead of doing your own taxes, or pay someone to clean the house and handle basic tasks that break your productive stride. Learn to practice the underrated art of asking for help—and accepting it. Soon, the only hat you’ll be wearing is your Leo crown! Lead with compassion and grace, and your people will stay loyal for the long haul. Are you living in chaos or surrounded by piles of half-finished projects? This year, you’re cosmically commanded to sort, simplify and systematize. Go on a decluttering spree that would give tidying-up tycoon Marie Kondo a run for her “life-changing” money. Or (Saturn tip!) hire a professional organizer to create an efficient system. With regimented Saturn in your wellness zone, the next three years could bring a big health makeover. You might radically revamp your eating and sleeping habits or be forced to reduce stress that’s taking a toll. Weighty Saturn can make the process feel daunting at first. But it’s a slippery slope. You resist going to the gym because you have “so much to do.” Then, you eat a crappy, carb-laden lunch at your desk or work late and skip dinner. Before you know it, you have zero energy and life feels bleak.

LEO 2018 HOROSCOPE

When personal trainer Saturn blows his whistle, slip on your sneakers and go! You don’t have to join sunrise boot camp or drink the Master Cleanse. Aim for regular movement (that can be a walk or a bike ride), paired with healthy meals and consistent sleep patterns. If need be, scale back your extracurriculars to prioritize self-care. You might adopt a pet or take on a volunteer post—but don’t underestimate the level of responsibility this could involve. The sixth house rules the digestive system, and this Saturn cycle could emphasize “gut health.” In recent studies, imbalances here have been linked to everything from allergies to autoimmune disease. The saying “you are what you eat” could ring true with Saturn in Capricorn. While you don’t have to switch to a plant-based menu or cut out entire food groups, you could discover a fascinating link between food and wellbeing. Look into the lowFODMAP diet (with a medical doctor) if you suffer from digestive disorders. Saturn rules the skin, teeth, bone structure and skeletal system. Are you getting enough calcium? Breakouts, rashes or eczema could also be indicators that your system isn’t properly breaking down food, or (sorry to go there) that your bowels and elimination system aren’t functioning at full speed. You might implement (doctor-approved) changes, such as taking a daily probiotic or working with a naturopath. Saturn rules experienced professionals and this is no time to skate by on the advice of an uncertified “health coach” and Dr. Google (or, ahem, your astrologers!). Ask your doctor, get tests and avoid The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

self-diagnosing. You might decide to change physicians this year; gather recommendations and read reviews. Tough Saturn could bring annoying red tape with health insurance, so research policies before picking a plan. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988 to 1991, and this time, it will travel alongside internal Pluto, which is in this part of your chart from 2008 to 2024. The mind-body-spirit health connection will be especially strong, and you’ll want to take a holistic approach to any lifestyle changes. Pay attention to “invisible” stuff that affects your wellbeing, from a coworker’s bad energy to a chronic-complainer friend who exudes constant negativity to toxins in your water, air and daily products. Set firm boundaries with people who dump their problems on you. Switch to cruelty-free and natural beauty and cleaning goods—you don’t have to be obsessive, but read the labels. For the last decade, Pluto in Capricorn has sent you on a quest to find meaningful work and make a difference. If your job isn’t satisfying on a soul level, this Saturn cycle could give you the guts to finally make concrete changes. But you may need new skills and certifications first (Saturn rules credentials). This could be a good time to take an easy “bridge job” while you go back to school or gain experience through a more entry-level position. Hard work and humility will bring bountiful returns—as long as you’re working toward your passion instead of suffering in a thankless role.

“Liberated Uranus only visits this part of your chart every 84 years, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to catapult yourself onto a wildly different path. But even if you’re perfectly content in your day job, it’s always important to be open to change.” Uranus in Taurus: New career frontiers.

individuality in a way that doesn’t alienate people or brand you as an outcast?

May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Craving a career change? Ready or not, one could be coming your way. On May 15, Uranus, the planet of revolution and curveballs, will start an eight-year visit to Taurus, shaking up your tenth house of long-term goals and ambition. Your professional path could veer down some interesting side roads between now and April 2026. Liberated Uranus only visits this part of your chart every 84 years, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to catapult yourself onto a wildly different path. But even if you’re perfectly content in your day job, it’s always important to be open to change. Companies restructure, management shuffles, clients shift their strategy. Uranus in Taurus will keep you on your toes, pushing you to stay up on the latest techniques and industry standards. You can establish yourself as a pioneering leader or become a recognized “influencer” in your field. Rebellious Uranus in your traditional tenth house can present quite a paradox. After all, you’ve got the most disruptive and eccentric planet visiting the part of your chart that’s focused on goals, longterm plans and status. How can you express your

Uranus here will inspire you to question authority and break a few rules in the name of progress. If you’re in a leadership role, you could become a Steve Jobs or Guy Kawasaki type, evangelizing for progress or championing innovation. You’ll crave more freedom in your workday life. And you’ll seek commitments—whether in love, friendship or career—that make you feel most expansive. You may take a job with flexible hours or a creative role. This free-spirited vibe isn’t exactly new to you, Leo. Since March 2011, Uranus has been blazing through Aries, activating your ninth house of travel, higher learning and entrepreneurship. You may have dabbled in unconventional hobbies or metaphysical study. With nomadic Uranus in this globetrotting zone, offbeat destinations appealed to you—music festivals, adventure travel, living off the grid. Uranus in Aries piqued your curiosity about the wider world and you forged friendships with a diverse group of people. It’s been an interesting run—and now it’s time to funnel these discoveries into your next career phase. If you’ve longed to open your own business, you could start one now. With Uranus at the helm, it won’t be a straight shot to the top. A career that ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

It only makes sense that, as you change, your interpersonal dynamics will also fluctuate.” involves technology, broadcasting, TV or online sales could do well now. You might brush up your own computer skills during this transit to position yourself for a higher pay bracket. However, this Uranus cycle reminds you that money and prestige aren’t everything—especially not if they come at the cost of your freedom. Uranus will turn retrograde on August 7, slowing down some of your ambitious plans until January 6, 2019. It will take one last dip back into Aries from November 6, 2018 until March 7, 2019—an opportunity to travel, study or take a little break from any heavy responsibilities. This is also a great time to work with a coach or take a personal growth workshop. Any effort you make to gain self-awareness will help you when Uranus hunkers down in Taurus for the long haul next March, because you’ll be able to choose a path that aligns with the person you’ve become.

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Personal & partnership changes. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Big life changes: incoming! From February 2017 to January 2019, a series of galvanizing eclipses are falling on the Leo/Aquarius axis, reshuffling both your personal identity and your closest partnerships.

The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Four of this year’s five eclipses will shake up these areas of your life, pushing you to renegotiate the balance between “me” and “we.” In January and August, eclipses in Leo will shake up your first house of solo endeavors, catapulting you into the hotseat. You could be inspired to put your all into a passion project, or you may become the spokesperson for a cutting-edge platform. You might completely revamp your appearance or rebrand a business, as these eclipses inspire you to present a sleek new image to the world. Last year’s epic total solar eclipse (on August 21, 2017) fell in your sign and really set the wheels in motion. This year’s eclipses could build on what you started last summer. Your relationships will get an extreme makeover in February and July, when two eclipses in Aquarius sweep through your seventh house of partnerships. It only makes sense that, as you change, your interpersonal dynamics will also fluctuate. Eclipses can bring curveballs or a surprising turn of events. Some Leos might dramatically exit a duo or— conversely—leap into a serious relationship. You may part ways with a longtime work collaborator or ink a major business deal.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Let’s get metaphysical. July 12 Let go to begin anew? On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse falls in Cancer and your twelfth house of closure, healing and transitions. This will kick off a new eclipse series falling on the Cancer/ Capricorn axis between now and July 2020. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake

us up and inspire big shifts. Your health and fitness regimens get an upgrade and you might make a radical change to your lifestyle or quit an addictive habit. The next two years could ignite a powerful new interest in mysticism, the afterlife and holistic health. Near this year’s Cancer eclipse (the only one in 2018), you may get an eye-opening sign about something you need to release or transform. Holding on is futile, Leo. Let go and allow the universe to heal this situation. You might have a dream of a departed relative or mourn a loss if you’ve been avoiding the painful process. u

The Highlights LOVE

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Your love life won’t be the main event this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun! With expansive Jupiter in your social third house, single Virgos will enjoy lighthearted flirting and fun dates. Check out the options before you commit. Coupled Virgos can keep the sparks lit by exploring new hobbies, getting involved in your community and mingling in fresh scenes. Another reason not to rush? Serious Saturn will spend the next three years in your romantic fifth house, making you even more picky—er, discerning—than you already are.

The Buddha said it best: “We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.” And with mindful Jupiter in your intellectual third house until November, it’s time to feed your worryprone head some uplifting fodder. Curate a positivity playlist of audio books, podcasts and TED talks. Then pop in those earbuds and get metaphysical while you get physical. Watch what comes out of your mouth, too. Words really do have the power to shape your reality— now more than ever.

MONEY & CAREER

Platonic friendships are the ice cream and the cherry on top of your 2018. With adventurous Jupiter in your social and open-minded third house until November, you’ll meet kindred spirts from all corners of the world. Soak up synergy with people from wildly different backgrounds and put your heads together on a joint project or two. You could get involved in your neighborhood, possibly around an activist or community-improvement effort. (That is, if you stay in one place long enough to put down roots.) In November, Jupiter dives into your domestic fourth house, putting home and family matters front and center. Until then, mix and mingle away! u

Get your message to the masses! With outspoken Jupiter in your communication sector until November, writing, teaching and media are your sweet spots in 2018. No more hiding—your brilliant ideas can change people’s lives. Is it time to rebrand the Virgo empire with sleek graphics and fresh taglines? Tech-savvy Uranus moves into your ninth house of publishing and global connections this May, staying for eight years. From memes to Medium, the Internet is your canvas. But skip the fluff if you want to go viral. With mature Saturn in your creativity zone until 2020, only a polished performance will build your loyal fanbase. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

ook who’s talking now! An expressive year is in store for you, Virgo, as audacious Jupiter soars through Scorpio and your communicative third house until November. Last year, you were a busy bee, and work took center stage. Now, your social life is where the action is. New ideas, friendships and community engagement will get your engines revving. You could become a fixture on the local scene or even commute between cities on a regular basis. Variety is the spice of life under this multitasking starmap, and you could have a lot of irons in the fire. But you don’t have to do it alone!

Jupiter will bring kindred spirits in to help bring your vision to life. Partner up and make it happen! If you have a message to share with the world— and you probably do—this year could inspire you to take it seriously. Maybe you’ll explore a new interest or get formal training to hone your craft. Structured Saturn, the planet of mastery and hard work, will spend the next three years in Capricorn and your fifth house of passion, love and artistry.

example, or to work with a mentor to sharpen your talents into something marketable. Your love life could get more serious with Saturn here, and happily, your patience for drama will thin. If you’ve been consumed by fixing a partner’s messy life (a common trap for helpful Virgos), pull back. You want to be someone’s lover, not their life coach! This Saturn cycle can inspire some Virgos to take a “dating sabbatical” and direct your energies elsewhere (into your own pursuits, for starters…). Single? Hold out for quality over quantity. For couples, structured Saturn might require you to plan ahead and pencil in non-negotiable date nights. Even then, it could take a little extra work to get in the mood. Restrictive Saturn can muffle your mojo, so make sure you revel in your own radiance instead of relying on someone else to make you feel turned-on. Dancing, celebration, self-care, adornment—these are all things you can do to feel playful and alive, no matter what your relationship status. Don’t treat pleasure like an optional thing you’ll get around to when you tick off your responsibilities. Otherwise, it simply won’t happen. Feeling blocked around love? With transformational Pluto already in Capricorn since 2008, you’ve gotten familiar with the ways you unconsciously sabotage connection. Now that resilient Saturn’s arrived, you may finally be ready to tackle deep inner work around love and self-expression. You’ll have even more cosmic assistance starting May 15, when unpredictable Uranus ends a sevenyear run through Aries and your intimate eighth The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

house. Your closest ties may have gone through upheaval, especially around sex, shared finance and property. Maybe you split up with a longtime partner or saw large amounts of money come and go. You could have experimented with some unconventional sexual or emotional encounters during this time. Maybe you took a deep dive into your own spirituality and psyche. Whew! Lighter, brighter energy is ahead as Uranus sails into Taurus and your worldly ninth house midMay, staying until April 2026. The next eight years could bring exciting opportunities to travel, teach, publish or start your own business. You could connect with fascinating people from all walks of life and cultures. Prepare to become a citizen of the world! New friendships will center around a common philosophy or shared progressive ideals. With Saturn, Uranus and Pluto all in grounded earth signs this year, 2018 could bring some muchneeded ease. You’ll feel confident and eager to speak up—a cosmic “coming out” party of sorts. There will still be themes of control and surrender to work through during this year’s Leo/Aquarius eclipses, which will touch your health and healing sectors. But overall, the emphasis is on exploring new ideas and far-flung vistas, and connecting with your ever-expanding tribe—at long last!

VIRGO 2018 HOROSCOPE

play superconnector, bringing people and ideas together for the betterment of all. For most of 2018, expansive Jupiter is in your third house of communication and community, mobilizing your mind and your mouth. While you might never reach full extrovert status, your appetite for good company and stimulating conversation hasn’t been this high in years. You could shock yourself by becoming a fixture on the social scene or a “name” in your neighborhood. It’s not the weirdest notion, because Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the messenger planet. You always have thoughts and opinions; you just don’t always say them aloud. With outspoken Jupiter loosening your lips, the world had better prepare. Virgos are coming out with it—and a few hapless souls are about to get read. You could earn five-star general status in the Twitter wars or send trolls back to Middle Earth as though wielding Gandalf the Grey’s mighty wizard staff. But before you get tangled in every social media thread, remember to self-regulate screen time so it doesn’t take over your life! When Jupiter first entered your third house in October 2017, Virgo actors Rose McGowan, Asia Argento and Evan Rachel Wood all led the charge by speaking out against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his decades of harassing, intimidating and assaulting women. Their courageous confessions broke open global dialogue on sexual violence the treatment of women in Hollywood (and beyond). Speak up, Virgo—by vocalizing your truth, you literally can change people’s lives. You could also attract some vibrant new friendships in 2018, kindred spirit types who might even The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

become creative collaborators. With Jupiter in this dynamic-duo zone, why not test your chemistry on a trial project and see how your styles mesh? The key this year is to dabble and experiment, not to lock yourself into anything binding or exclusive. Start small and grow organically. One of our favorite collaborations is Belletrist, an online platform for modern literature-lovers that’s the brainchild of Virgo Karah Preiss and Aquarius actor Emma Roberts. Two proud bookworms, they found a way to celebrate their favorite novels and authors, and to encourage their followers to read along. Find people whose skills complement yours, then sync your superpowers. For example, maybe you’re an artisan who makes gorgeous dip-dyed throw pillows, but you’re also a technophobe who’d still use a flip phone if you could. Team up with a digitally-savvy branding wizard who markets your creations and handles the digital arm of your business. Or, get acquainted with the wonders of easy platforms like Wix, Squarespace and Medium to give your brilliance some visual (and socially-shareable) appeal. You might invest in a publicist, marketing expert or social media pro to help build buzz. Your friendships might also endure a growth phase, and you could find that you’re not as in-sync with your squad anymore. Is it them…or is it you? You don’t have to ditch your loyal circle, but you can certainly branch out. Meet people who share your interests, and stretch your own limits by going to lectures, film openings, fundraisers and Meetups. Explore local culture instead of heading to the same-old snoozy spots or just staying in. If your conversations have turned into a repetitive ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

monologue, try meeting for an interactive hangout (a “Pinot and painting” class, for example). With info-hungry Jupiter occupying these curious quarters, learning is an adventure! You could take mini-courses that build your skills or earn you a certification. But hold off on the serious degree programs. Dabbling is more your speed now than, say, med school or a Masters. That said, this is a good year for touring colleges, studying and test-taking. But your mood is changeable, so be sure you’re really in this for the long haul before you commit. The “school of life” could be more appealing than any hallowed university halls. Experiment with new hobbies, especially DIY ones where you can make things by hand. Have you always wanted to learn how to play guitar or craft your own customblended perfumes? Find a workshop or an online course. When the student is ready (and Jupiter’s in the house), the teacher will appear. Or, maybe you’ll be the one putting together a curriculum. Weave your expertise into a webinar and hang your shingle! Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Look back to that period for clues of what could resurface. With globetrotting Jupiter in your third house of local action, some Virgos will hop between multiple cities or try out the bicoastal life. Your job could require frequent jaunts to a satellite office, so invest in a nice weekender bag for those short flights (or long drives). You might also get more creative with your commute, investing in a great bicycle and riding to work, or leasing a new set of wheels. One Virgo friend of ours, a performance The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

artist, is currently on the hunt for a camper so she can drive across the country while she writes a script for her own one-woman show. If you’re thinking of relocating, this is a great year to “try before you buy.” Airbnb was made for this Jupiter cycle. Take as many short trips as you can, staying for a few days in an appealing city or district that you’re considering calling home. Get up and go through your daily routine as if you lived there: find the coffee shop, the yoga studio, the health food store. Embrace your nomadic side! By the end of 2018, you could be ready to start house-hunting or to officially relocate. Research while you can! Who knows? You might end up right where you started, with a totally different mindset. Like Dorothy returning to Kansas, your time in Oz might spark a greater appreciation for that “boring suburb” or “noisy, dirty city” you wanted to flee. Or perhaps you’ll move to a different part of town that’s walkable, or greener, or whatever’s most important to you. All that bopping around might even involve a long-distance romance or a budding business partnership. From May until August, Jupiter will form a rare and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) with enchanting Neptune, which is in Pisces and your seventh house of commitment. During this interpersonal cycle, you could become a rapt student of the art of relationships—everything from body language and nonverbal cues to how to have productive dialogue that doesn’t leave the other person defensive. Whether you use that in business dealings or your personal life, these skills can certainly help!

VIRGO 2018 HOROSCOPE

With Neptune adding its magic touch, some Virgos could get engaged—and the proposal might be so poetic, you’ll want to have it framed. Maybe you’ll renew your vows or craft beautiful ones also worthy of hanging on the wall. As Jupiter and Neptune embrace, friends could become lovers. You can meet someone with soulmate potential through social media or a dating app. Late-night text marathons could reveal a match of the minds and souls…and if you’re lucky, the bodies as well. But there is some caution tape strung up around this transit: With Neptune’s fetish for secrecy, you may also project a fantasy onto a faraway figure, paving the path for an emotional affair. (Recommended reading: Chatting or Cheating by Dr. Sheri Myers or The State of Affairs by modern love expert Esther Perel.) Those rose-colored Neptunian goggles make everything so pretty—and optimistic Jupiter is glad to brighten the picture, especially while it’s retrograde from March 8 to July 10. An emotionally manipulative person could be saying all the right things, and you may be susceptible to falling under their spell. Make sure you really know who and what you’re dealing with before you get in too deep! Keep your wits about you, even as you pursue adventures with an open mind and heart.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Adventures in domesticity. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Home sweet home?

committal year, you could be ready to put down roots. Where you’ll hang your fedora is anyone’s guess. With global Jupiter in this domestic sector, you could relocate, take a long-distance job offer or change your living situation in a big way. The fourth house rules women and you might connect to an inspiring #girlsquad that cheers on your endeavors. Time to convert that spare room into a nursery? Expansive Jupiter in this maternal sector could bring a new addition to your clan. For some Virgos, this year could be time to start “baby talks”—or (surprise!) you’ll find out you’re unexpectedly expecting. Your mother or a female relative might play into events at the end of this year. Is your relationship due for an evolution? You may go through a few growing pains as you shift to a more equal dynamic. Overall, this emotional cycle will call for more nurturing and self-care. Your moods can fluctuate and you might be processing a few heavier feelings. Solitude can give you serenity, but make sure you don’t isolate yourself. Peaceful escapes into nature, especially near water, can give you the quiet reset you need. After this year’s social whirlwind, you’ll crave more alone time—you’re back to your hermit-like Virgo ways! Carve out some unapologetic sacred space where you can read books, take long baths and pamper yourself without anyone demanding your attention.

Saturn in Capricorn: Getting serious about fun, love and creativity. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020

©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

VIRGO 2018 HOROSCOPE

Love, actually? Structured Saturn will spend the next three years in Capricorn and your fifth house of romance, passion and self-expression. Mindfulness in matters of the heart is a must. You’re being called to conserve your creative and emotional energy, to focus. Take stock: Where are you scattered and distracted? If you’re pouring too much attention into your mate’s life, pull back. With restrained Saturn here, you might feel a little less frisky and in the mood. You could actually make appointments to have sex, or book non-negotiable date nights—as horrifying as that might sound to some of you. Hey, regimented Saturn will put your consummate Virgo planning skills to use in unusual ways! (And if it means that you and bae slip sexy dinner date onto the calendar, it’s well worth it.) All things considered, this should be a relatively easy and grounding cycle. Like Virgo, Capricorn is an earth sign, and Saturn here will travel in a harmonious trine (120-degree angle) to your Sun sign until 2020, bringing more serious contenders into your sphere. It can be a time of stepping into your power—as an artist, a creative thinker or a lover. Virgos born between August 23 and September 7 will feel Saturn’s influence the most this year. While it might take a little effort to keep the sexy vibes flowing, this will be a huge relief after the last Saturn cycle you weathered from December 2014 to December 2017. Saturn was in Sagittarius, forming a stressful and demanding square (90-degree angle of challenge) to your Sun. You were pushed to do intense work around your family, home and emotional security. There was The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

no cutting corners or pretending everything was “fine.” Saturn forced you to deal with childhood baggage or your own refusal to grow up. With harsh Saturn in your domestic house for the past three years, finding a place to call “home” has been difficult for some Virgos. A move may have been delayed, or maybe you got serious about buying real estate, as Saturn found you seeking a more permanent address. On a metaphorical level, perhaps you just didn’t feel “at home” in your body or emotions, or with the people you were around. Your relationship with your mother or an important woman may have gone through a tough transition. Saturn’s maturing influence isn’t easy, especially when it squares your Sun, but it’s necessary foundation work. Now that you’ve graduated from emotional boot camp, you can look back and see how much you’ve grown internally. This year, you can move forward with plans to expand your family, put down roots or become a homeowner. Plans could really speed up when lucky Jupiter begins a 13-month tour of Sagittarius this November 8, inspiring you to take a bold risk. If you’re an artist or performer, the next three years can bring recognition, slowly but steadily. Saturn rules experts, so you might find an agent to rep your work or gather media exposure that draws a more mainstream audience. Put the essentials in place—a demo reel, a website, headshots—whatever the industry standard is. Saturn will help polish your presentation and put your best face forward. Patience, please: This is not the time to go ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

VIRGO 2018 HOROSCOPE

“workshopping” your ideas to the public without practicing and perfecting them. Keep the raw material under wraps, even if it takes a few more drafts or additional time to be ready. Team up with a mentor who’s a veteran in your field. Hire an editor or producer. When you make your grand debut, you want to have the basic kinks worked out. Thirsty for fame? Humble Saturn can deliver a stern ego check or two. Anything done for attention, money or instant gratification will quickly fall apart. Thinking of trying for a baby? The fifth house rules fertility, and Saturn’s restrictive influence could deter your efforts to conceive or adopt. Slow down and take your time—this is, after all, a lifelong decision! If age is a factor, you could explore the options: freezing your eggs, hiring a surrogate or trying IVF. Let yourself go through this process, Virgo—and don’t rush. If obstacles to getting pregnant arise, take stock: Is your life really set up to bring a child into it? Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a baby will fix your problems or make you happy. You might need to make a few adult transitions first, such as changing your living situation or working through differences in therapy. Maybe you part with your beloved studio apartment where you spent your formative years channeling Carrie Bradshaw—and swore you’d never leave. Now, you can’t fathom dragging a stroller up five flights of stairs, even if you once dashed down those steps in heels! Perhaps you make peace with the decision not to have kids (or have more kids). Instead, you can devote that energy to nurturing a creative “child” instead. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988 to 1991, and this time around, it will join transformational Pluto, which is here from 2008 to 2024. Over the past decade, Pluto has been slowly but seismically shifting your approach to love and self-expression. You may have endured dramatic or emotional situations that exposed your secrets or forced you to wear your heart on your vulnerable sleeve. Talk about excruciating! Virgos like to maintain the appearance of “having it all together,” but Pluto has shaken that up. As Saturn now runs laps with Pluto, take these hard-won lessons and apply them to smarter relationships. Get serious about your talents. You could end this cycle with a career-defining work of art—and the confidence to share it!

Uranus in Taurus: Bohemian rhapsody. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Virgo plans, the universe laughs? In 2018, you’ll happily be in on the joke. On May 15, changemaker Uranus starts an eight-year tour of Taurus and your adventurous, expansive ninth house. It’s an exciting time that could be filled with global travel, learning and wild new experiences. Uranus only visits each zodiac sign every 84 years, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to embrace your boho spirit full-on! As Susan Sontag once said, “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” An unconventional lifestyle could appeal to you. Ever dreamed of living in Paris, Patagonia or Prague? Uranus in your global ninth house could present some ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

fascinating options between now and April 2026. Think: an international housing swap, working remotely from the beach, or a contract gig abroad. You may pull up your stakes and couchsurf for a few months (or years), living in “gypset” style. Progressive Uranus could inspire you to do a service trip, building homes or teaching in underserved areas. Not sure where in the world to call home? You’re better off stashing your stuff in temporary storage and exploring. We know: that’s about as un-Virgo as it gets. Luckily, you’re one of the zodiac’s four mutable signs. You have an adaptable and curious side that can make this fun—if you’re willing to go with the flow. Ready for a few eureka moments? The ninth house rules higher learning and your mind will be alive with curiosity. Maybe you’ll return to university for an advanced degree—or, since this is an experimental transit, you’ll dabble in a course or two. Anything from metaphysics to astrophysics could capture your fancy. (Warning: You might lose interest just as quickly, so test the waters before signing up for that PhD program.) Since Uranus rules technology, online education could be enriching—and for Virgo teachers, a profitable new income stream. Time to sell your own how-to webinar or virtual coaching services? This Uranus transit might be a welcome shift in energy because, since March 2011, the cosmic disrupter has been sidewinding through Aries and your eighth house of intimacy, shared finances and joint ventures. Your most delicate interactions have been fraught with a few unexpected The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

curveballs. Sex, money, property—the eighth house rules all of the ways we merge with others. Hosting unpredictable Uranus here made it hard for Virgos to put down roots! You may have been hit with surprising expenses or forced to pay off a debt. On the upside, a financial windfall or some kind of gift may have fallen in your lap just as unexpectedly. Uranus is the planet of surprise and sudden events—and hosting it in such an intensely personal part of your chart is anything BUT relaxing. Issues around sex, money and power may have led to a few blowups or shocking revelations. The eighth house rules transformations and whew, have you had your share of them! One Virgo friend of ours built a house, moved out of it, relocated to a small town with her longtime boyfriend, broke up, and found herself living rather contentedly in the guest house of a wealthy friend’s estate. Another Virgo’s husband was accused of a financial scandal and lost a good part of their fortune before he was exonerated. Her family was forced to reinvent itself, which is a very Uranian outcome. In both cases, they are happier and more content, but their lives took a dramatic (and stressful) turn first. Radical Uranus in the eighth house can dig up secrets or reveal shady characters.

the (ethically) right thing. If you travel or make a long-distance move, you’ll form friendships easily. Just vet people carefully before being too trusting. Your inclusive spirit is beautiful, but not everyone on the planet is capable of handling that gift with proper care. Uranus will be retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019, which may slow down the pace of changes or force you to scale back overly ambitious plans. Not all change has to happen at once, Virgo! Uranus will dip back into Aries from November 6 of this year until March 7, 2019, making one last dive into Aries. Clean up any unfinished business around finances and close relationships, making sure things are on solid ground. Make any last big changes now.

Four of this year’s five change-making eclipses will touch down in your sixth house of health (ruled by Aquarius) and your twelfth house of healing (ruled by Leo). You’re learning the balance between control and surrender, analytical thinking and imagination. These eclipses are part of a series running from February 2017 until January 2019. You’re learning when to lean in and fix things yourself, and when to let the universe handle it. Letting go is hard to do, but January and August could find you waving the white flag. Two eclipses in Leo and your twelfth house of closure could bring an unavoidable transition or moments of vulnerability.

stop us humans (Virgos especially) from pursuing it. These eclipses are teaching you how to ask for support…and receive it. If you’ve struggled with an addiction, codependence or a self-sabotaging pattern, you could finally hit rock-bottom and reach out for help. There may be a sudden ending or curveball that takes you by surprise—and as a result, you’re forced to lean on people instead of pretending you’ve got it all together. Suppressed emotions could arise unexpectedly and you may mourn a loss that you’ve avoided facing. As the saying goes, you’ve got to feel it to heal it. With these eclipses plunging you into the emotion ocean, this could be a powerful year to work with a therapist. Caution: While it’s important to acknowledge any trauma or pain, you don’t want to get stuck in a victim mindset. The twelfth house rules the subconscious, and you might benefit from hypnotherapy, dream work and the field of “energy medicine.” You could even be called into the realms of shamanism or plant-based healing near these mystical eclipses. We’re not saying you’ll be trekking to Peru for an ayahuasca ceremony, Virgo—but we’re not saying you won’t, either. Whatever modality you choose, just be careful you don’t fall under the spell of a guru figure, as the twelfth house rules illusions. The February and July eclipses could inspire a new eating and exercise regimen, as they fall in your sixth house of health and fitness. You may get doctor’s orders to make a lifestyle change, or begin treating a nagging ache or chronic condition. Have you ignored the red flags telling you to reduce stress and prioritize self-care?

The sixth house rules work and helpful people. Near these February and July eclipses, you could suddenly change jobs (or even careers), possibly moving into a “green” or wellness profession. Need more credentials? You might take an inbetween gig while earning certification or learning new skills, such as web design or bookkeeping. If Team Virgo is due for an upgrade, weed out the slackers and replace them with capable and competent new players.

This is the first installment of a new eclipse series that will fall on the Cancer/Capricorn axis between now and July 2020. These eclipses will shift your approach to love and friendship, helping you balance between drama and detachment. When should you dive in and when should you play the cool, impartial observer? You’ll explore that balance over the next two years.

You could even be inspired to go into politics over the next couple years. Hey, there’s an election year coming up in the United States right after these eclipses end in 2020. Why not you, Virgo? u

The Highlights LOVE Confidence is irresistible—and you’ll start having that in spades this year, as Jupiter visits your second house of self-worth. You’re attracted to security and could meet a stable partner. Someone you may have considered “boring” now seems like a great catch (and probably is!). Couples can use this time to get more grounded in your current relationship. Unpredictable Uranus ends a seven-year journey through your partner house this May, adding more consistency to your commitments. But it’s not all scripted: Two passion-powered eclipses this February and July could bring new romance or even baby news.

MONEY & CAREER Bring on the bounty! Abundant Jupiter spends most of the year in your second house of work and money. This could bring a new career path, a raise or promotion, or a relocation for work. With auspicious Jupiter playing accountant, 2018 could be your luckiest financial year in over a decade. Innovative Uranus starts an eight-year visit to your joint ventures zone in May, which could spark an exciting collaboration. You might explore real estate, investing or passive income options online. July’s solar eclipse in your ambitious tenth house says “CEO”…in The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

HEALTH & WELLNESS Good habits are everything this year. Jupiter in your streamlined second house infuses your daily routines with a pleasant and inspiring rhythm. It may sound basic, but eating, going to bed, and waking up at the same general times every day can do wonders for your vitality. Keep everything simple, including your diet and exercise. For Libra women, Saturn in your feminine fourth house can spotlight hormonal and reproductive health.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Home and family could be weighty topics in 2018, as structured Saturn visits Capricorn and your domesticity zone. Maybe it’s time to get serious about home ownership, parenthood or putting down roots? This could be an “empty nest” year for some Libras, or a time when an aging parent becomes your responsibility. Your relationship with your mother or a female relative could go through a rocky but important transition. Have you outgrown your crew? Eclipses in your friendship sector this January and August can reshuffle your alliances. The year ends on a vibrant note once Jupiter starts a 13-month visit to your social third house in November. u ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

ettle in, Libra. You’re back from a whirlwind tour and reality may look completely different than it did just a year ago. From September 9, 2016 until October 10, 2017, expansive Jupiter soared through Libra, reinventing every part of your life it could get its hands on. From relationships to family to career—if not your entire identity—Jupiter transported you way beyond your comfort zone. The end result: Libra 2.0! In 2017, you may have traveled, grown more outspoken (no more Libra “nice guy”) and

embraced your independence. This was a big learning curve for some Libras; you’re the sign of relationships and not comfortable with too much autonomy. But grasping onto other people as anchors didn’t work out last year. You had to find your center within. The spotlight loved your sign in 2017, whether you craved it or not. Many Libras made headlines last year—from the novel (rising-star rapper Cardi B, whose “Bodak Yellow” single climbed to numberone on the music charts) to the nefarious (Sean Spicer and Vladimir Putin, both Libras, served ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

us “fake news” that plunged us deeper into a posttruth world). Jupiter only visits your sign every 12 years, and its visit to Libra launched a long new chapter of your life—one that will go until 2028! Last year was meant for exploring, trying out new roles and experimenting with grand but unformed ideas. Your job, as the saying goes, was to throw spaghetti against the wall to see what would stick. Not all of your gambles paid off, but even when you overshot the mark, you still landed on your feet. And with philosophical Jupiter in your sign, bouncing back has blessed you with newfound wisdom and resilience. Nobody can take that from you! So…what to do with all of this raw material? In 2018, you can start crafting a plan. From October 10, 2017 until November 8, 2018, Jupiter is in Scorpio and your second house of security, work, money and daily routines. You’re in “builder” mode, ready to pick a few of your best ideas out of the pile. This year, you can fashion those notions into something lasting—and lucrative. It can be a prosperous time, when you settle into a grounded groove, along with a greater sense of your own worth. Sure, that may sound boring compared to last year’s nonstop pace. But chances are, you’re ready for some predictability and Libra-style balance again. With enterprising Jupiter in Scorpio, exciting new work opportunities could be on the horizon, perhaps ones you initiate yourself. You’re a real self-starter in 2018, and you’re eager to bring your big ideas to life. This trend is further fueled by the The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

July 12 solar eclipse in Cancer and your tenth house of career, which could open a new professional chapter. This could happen swiftly and out of the blue, so prep your resume. You never know who might try to recruit you! Meantime, structured Saturn is digging a firm foundation at the bottom of your chart, as it spends the next three years in Capricorn and your fourth house of home, family and roots. You may get serious about buying property, expanding your clan or creating a more stable living situation. The fourth house rules mothers and female relatives, and with maturing Saturn here, these relationships could go through a few growing pains. Have you been brushing important emotional work aside? This Saturn cycle will hold the space for you to go deeper. You may work through some unresolved family patterns that are holding you back. Is it time to let those carefully controlled emotions loose? On May 15, changemaker Uranus starts an eight-year visit to Taurus and your eighth house of intimacy, joint ventures and long-term finances. You could get experimental with relationships and money. Maybe you’ll adopt a more progressive attitude in your love life or invest in a cutting-edge business venture. This Uranus cycle could also spark a spiritual revolution, awakening a fascination with the metaphysical mysteries of life. Explore cuttingedge ways to pool your resources with like-minded people. Think: home swaps, food co-ops, ride sharing and co-working spaces.

“Gambler Jupiter is a bit restrained while he visits your fiscally conservative second house. Lean toward calculated risks and avoid anything too crazy.” The past seven years drew challenging but eyeopening people into your sphere. One particular person, perhaps a longtime love or close colleague, may not have been as dependable or available as you’d like. It hasn’t been easy to settle into commitments with unpredictable Uranus in Aries. The side-spinning planet will make one last visit here from November 2018 to March 2019, then it will remain in Taurus, revolutionizing your approach to sex, bonding and long-term finances. The year will close out on a convivial note, with some lively new additions to your friends list. On November 8, Jupiter moves into Sagittarius and your communicative third house. For the next 13 months, you’ll expand your social circles and share your message with the wider world. You could get more involved in your community. Under these curious skies, your appetite for knowledge and new ideas can be insatiable. Go forth and meet some kindred spirits. They could be as close as your own backyard!

take to the bank. Jupiter is the planet of growth and opportunity, and this cycle—which happens every 12 years—could bring a brand-new career or your luckiest financial year in over a decade. Cha-ching! Gambler Jupiter is a bit restrained while he visits your fiscally conservative second house. Lean toward calculated risks and avoid anything too crazy. You had some fun ideas while Jupiter visited Libra in 2017. Now, pick the “golden goose” and see if she’ll lay an egg or two! And make that a nest egg, okay? Jupiter helps you start slowly and steadily saving for your future. This is a year to build, brick by brick. Your new BFF is your financial planner— and the “balance” you’ll care about most is the one in your bank account! Jupiter rules education, and you can raise your financial IQ by learning about “compound interest” or, heck, basic money management. Stash away enough cash and you’ll have a little (or a lot!) left over for the luxurious splurges Libras love. Whether you’re a strict budgeter or you never check your bank balance, 2018 will remake your approach to spending and saving. If your Libran scales are always swinging between feast and famine, this Jupiter cycle helps you embrace the joys of moderation. A raise, promotion or even a job with relocation is possible.

opening the company’s new Barcelona office. If you’re a freelancer, maybe it’s time to increase your rates? Even if you stick with your current job, Jupiter will widen your financial focus and bring projects that can boost your profile. Position yourself as a savvy problem-solver and you could make yourself indispensable. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006, and you may see themes from that time repeat. The stabilizing Jupiter beams will impact your whole life, not just your finances. The slower, grounding pace helps you prioritize—a gift from the heavens if you’re feeling scattered. The second house rules daily habits and routines. Seek ways to simplify during this “less is more” Jupiter phase, whether you implement savvy life-hacks or just scale back. From friendships to social commitments, anything you feel lukewarm about has got to go. Better to leave some white space in your calendar than to clutter it with halfhearted obligations you couldn’t say “no” to. You can fill those slots with self-care (exercise, cooking, reading)…or nothing at all!

rules all things tangible, and you might create a product or business venture that stands the test of time. Jupiter gives you the enthusiasm to roll up your sleeves and hustle. Invest in attractive branding—headshots, a logo, a sleek website—to tap into the sophisticated sensibility of the second house and attract the kind of clients you want. White picket fence, anyone? Love could get serious with Jupiter in this security-minded sector. Many people meet long-term partners while Jupiter traverses their second house. Often this person is someone you might have overlooked in the past or written off as “boring” because they weren’t the flashy trophy figure that your starry-eyed sign can fall for (admit it!). With Jupiter grounding you in selfrespect, you don’t need anyone to “complete” you. Rather, you can reach a point of feeling full and content in your life—then someone comes along who can be the cherry on top. It’s called self-esteem, Libra, and believe it or not, it can be an aphrodisiac! It also attracts a wholly different kind of person.

Commit to the “pillars” of regular waking and bedtime, meals and movement. And keep everything simple. Sure, that yoga studio with spa amenities and Instagram-celeb teachers might look irresistible. But (almost) no savasana is worth a hectic commute, hellish parking or prohibitive pricing.

If you’re in a relationship, you’ll feel the benefits (and maybe ripples) from Jupiter in Scorpio. You can ease into a comfortable groove with your favorite plus-one, creating some shared goals and projects together. Maybe you’ll invest in a few memorable experiences on your bucket list or start investing as a couple. With worldly Jupiter in your posh second house, think “quality over quantity” when it comes to spending time together.

Entrepreneurial Jupiter in this money-minded house could make this a great year to develop an independent business. Start slow and steady, and grow your venture organically. The second house

a docile doormat. Enough’s enough, Libra. If the dynamics shift when you stop being at their beck and call, so be it. They’ll either start respecting your boundaries or they can go wipe their feet elsewhere! Health and wellness get a boost this year, as Jupiter will travel in a harmonious trine (120-angle) to healing Neptune from May through August. Neptune is in Pisces and your sixth house of fitness, organization and helpful people. You could infuse your everyday routines with spirituality—a meditation practice, rituals, restorative treatments. With global Jupiter and sea-god Neptune aligned, a yoga retreat on the beach seems written in the stars, doesn’t it? Or maybe you’ll tap into charitable Neptune’s spirit of giving and combine travel with volunteer work. Making a difference becomes tantamount during the Jupiter-Neptune trine cycle. If you work in the arts or a healing profession, this magnetic aspect will attract opportunities to use your talents for a world-bettering cause. If you have any kind of influencer status, spread the word to your followers about a cause that’s dear to your heart. The sixth house rules pets, you could adopt a furry critter. Mystical Neptune could connect you through serendipitous events. You might also adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, switching to eco-friendly and cruelty-free product lines, reducing your carbon footprint and eating local and organic. While Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, you may need to do some work to boost your self-confidence or get your finances in order. Your efforts will pay off, so don’t sweep glaring issues under the rug. Overall, this 13-month Jupiter cycle The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

89

is here to help you clarify your values and invest your time, money and energy into what matters most to you. Maybe the things that once made you happy no longer do. Be willing to release those and explore new avenues.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Share your ideas with the world. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Get your message to the masses, Libra! In November, Jupiter will soar into Sagittarius for a 13-month visit to your social and communicative third house. Cast a wide net and start marketing your ideas. If you spent all year developing a project, now’s the time to start sharing about it on social media or aligning with well-connected people who can help spread the word. Get some influencers, ambassadors and wordof-mouth mavens on the job! Writing, teaching and media projects all get a favorable boost. Think globally, act locally: Worldly Jupiter in your third house of neighborhoods connects you to kindred spirits in your own backyard. Get more involved in your community, attending Meetups and cultural events, hosting a block party or volunteering for a holiday donation drive. In the market for a move? You might start checking out new districts or city-hopping until you find a place to settle down. But wait a year for Jupiter to move into Capricorn before you rush to put down roots. This is a great time to explore your options. In the coming months, you could work remotely or make short business trips. With on-the-go Jupiter in your transportation house, you could be in the market for a new set of ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

wheels. Keep it eco-chic with a hybrid car or invest in a great bike for your commute. The third house rules siblings and neighbors. A brother or sister, or someone who lives nearby, might become an inspiring presence. If your bond has been riddled with rivalry, this expansive Jupiter cycle could help you finally move past those outworn dynamics.

Saturn in Capricorn: Setting up home, family and foundations. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Time to put down roots, Libra? In 2018, you could crave a more permanent sense of “home” as serious Saturn moves through Capricorn, fortifying your fourth house of family and foundations. This threeyear challenge period will push you to mature, and might present scenarios that test your mettle. Where does your life need more long-term plans and security? Are you still holding on to childhood patterns or dependency? Saturn pushes you to act maturely and responsibly. This won’t be the easiest phase because, while in Capricorn, Saturn forms a harsh 90-degree angle (called a “square”) to your Sun. Squares force us to deal where we’ve been procrastinating. These are “face the music” periods when we have to buck up and do the hard work. Libras born between September 23 and October 8 will feel Saturn’s presence the most this year. Ready or not, it’s time for some “adulting” and inner work. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988-91, so if you can recall back that far, you may see similar themes arise.

Or, look back to the period from 2009 to 2012, when Saturn was in Libra. You’re now at a turning point, where you can reflect on progress you’ve made since then. The last seven years have been all about establishing your individuality and personal identity. Now, this new Saturn phase helps you put down roots—to create a home for the “new Libra” you’ve become. You might move into a different living situation, establish a financial nest egg or stabilize your family relationships. The fourth house sits at the very bottom of the zodiac wheel and represents our ultimate foundation. Is yours shaky or solid? Saturn is like a cosmic building inspector who arrives to ensure that everything’s up to code. And while pouring concrete and patching up cracks is hard work, you can’t build on top of a shoddy construction. This year, Saturn puts on the hard hat and sends you into the trenches. If you’ve outgrown your home or your living costs are too high, Saturn will pave a path to your next address. Maybe you’ve been a renter for years and want to invest in your own place. Or you decide to remodel to raise the property value of your home. You could convert the downstairs into a rental unit for extra income, or you open your spare bedroom to a relative who’s fallen on hard times. Be extra cautious with any roommate situations this year, because Saturn may have some harsh lessons in store. Screen people thoroughly and check references. If you’re thinking of renting your place in an Airbnb-type scenario, make sure you’re complying with the local laws. The last thing you need is to lose your lease if your landlord cracks down.

LIBRA 2018 HOROSCOPE

Female health falls under the fourth house domain, and some Libra women might deal with reproductive or hormone-related changes. Restrictive Saturn could bring challenges around a pregnancy, IVF or adoption. The silver lining? This buys you time to make sure your life is truly set up for a new family member. It’s never a good idea to rush or force things with cautious Saturn at the helm. The fourth house rules women and mothers. Saturn’s visit to Capricorn could push you to examine your relationship with your own mom, a female relative or a child. If you’re a parent, you may need to be more structured or stern about discipline. If your identity is tied up in being a mom or dad, you could face the heavy emotions of an empty nest as a child goes off to school. Maybe you’ll become the caregiver for an aging parent, or grapple with missing a departed loved one. Growing pains around your clan are possible now. How well do you “mother” yourself ? Regimented Saturn asks you to be more formal about scheduling self-care. We have yet to meet a Libra who would turn down a massage or mani-pedi. But you can certainly get off-balance and push yourself to the point of desperately needing a deep-tissue treatment! You’ll have to consciously carve out time for nurturing this year. The body, after all, is the “soul’s address”! Take that hour to do yoga or pick up healthy groceries. You’re worth it. Nostalgia alert: Saturn rules time and history, and you could feel a bit melancholy about how quickly the years are passing. Cherish those moments with your nearest and dearest, Libra. They do go fast. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

91

If work is cutting into your quality time with loved ones—and it probably is—set your duties aside for regular bonding. Or, make it up to them with an epic family vacation this summer. This year is unique because Saturn is joining transformational Pluto, which is in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024—a strange brew of contrasting energies. While Saturn rules all that’s tangible and visible, Pluto governs the hidden realm and unconscious facets of the mind. Although these two luminaries won’t make an exact meetup until January 2020, you may start to see the real-time results of any inner work you’ve been doing for the past few years. A buried issue—a painful emotional block or memory from childhood—could come out to be healed now. Your relationship to your family might go through a bumpy patch as you sort out healthy boundaries or work through any calcified hurt and anger. Saturn rules professionals, so don’t try to navigate this alone. Enlist a trained therapist or spiritual counselor to help. While Saturn in the fourth house isn’t easy, picture your life like a construction site. It can look like a disaster zone when the cranes first arrive, with dirt and rocks and building materials everywhere. But soon enough, a crude structure emerges, then a design, then a beautiful dwelling that you can fill with happy energy. Keep that long-term goal in mind, Libra, and you’ll emerge from this phase feeling anchored and secure.

LIBRA 2018 HOROSCOPE

Uranus in Taurus: Redefining sex, intimacy and merging. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Welcome to the deep end of the pool, Libra. Put on your lifejacket because there will be waves— and currents are likely to shift without notice! On May 15, unpredictable Uranus will begin an eight-year plunge into Taurus and your intimate, mystical eighth house. This is a cosmic event that only happens once every 84 years, bringing radical change along with it. Uranus is the planet of liberation and progress, so ultimately its reinvention tour will leave us all in better shape. But there can be some eye-opening curveballs that prompt these shifts. Between now and April 2026, your closest relationships will undergo dramatic changes. Some Libras may marry or divorce, give birth or roll the dice on an investment. The eighth house rules merging—all the ways that “me” becomes “we,” whether through shared finances, marriage, property ownership or permanent bonds such as parenthood. It’s the point of no return with people, when it’s not so easy to wriggle out of commitment. This energy is fundamentally opposite what Uranus is about: freedom, emotional detachment, coming and going as you please. Reconciling this paradox could be a challenge at times. One part of you wants to form deep trust and connection, while another side may feel completely trapped by too much togetherness. You’ve been exploring this duality—on a less intense level—for the past few years. Uranus has The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

92

been in Aries and your seventh house of committed relationships since March 2011, overhauling your approach to partnerships. You may have weathered on-again-off-again love affairs or big changes in your relationship status. This Uranus cycle was meant to rebalance the give-and-take in your closest ties, helping you advocate for your own needs instead of being the overly accommodating Libra peacekeeper. The eighth house is the zone of permanence. You’ll be presented with the opportunity to get into binding arrangements, financially and emotionally. But once you’re there, you may feel trapped unless you can openly express your individuality. With fickle Uranus at the helm, you might fall in and out of love or dabble in business ventures that flame out as quickly as they start. New sexual or emotional experiences could open the doors to personal growth. Never thought you’d try that? Think again. There’s a cheesy-but-true coffee mug slogan that says people enter our worlds for “a reason, a season or a lifetime.” During this changeable Uranus transit, you may have a revolving door of intense encounters—emotional, sexual, financial. Through these, you’ll learn important lessons about trust and intimacy. Fearless Uranus could inspire you to share your own vulnerability, perhaps in a public forum. Since this planet governs technology, you may connect with kindred spirits virtually. Single Libras might have a sudden “soulmate” connection online. But don’t rush to conclusions! This person may exit your life as quickly as they entered. Whatever happens, you’ll be left changed (hopefully for the better) from the time you share. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

LIBRA 2018 HOROSCOPE

Libra is an idealistic sign that wants to see the good in everyone. Your charitable spirit is noble, but keep your wits about you. Crime and psychological manipulation are among the shadow sides of the eighth house. Guard against identity theft, scams (especially online) and “gas-lighting” types who break down your self-esteem and sense of reality. Considering a long-term partnership? Hire a lawyer, protect your intellectual property, and maybe even sign a pre-nup if you get engaged. Your own efforts to do things in a back door or DIY way could implode. Go through proper channels, even if it takes longer. Joint business ventures may also pop up as a theme during this Uranus cycle. You’ll find creative ways to pool your resources—sharing childcare, joining a co-working space, living communally. You might become part of a collective investment, such as a REIT (real estate investment trust) or you may receive an inheritance. With changeable Uranus here, you might get into fixing up and flipping properties. Be careful about accruing debt now. Any investment is likely to have its ups and downs, and you’ll need to ride those out. The eighth house governs the psyche and the mystical realm. You may have clairvoyant flashes that come true, or life-changing insights through work with a healer, therapist or shaman. Ramp up your spiritual protection and clear yourself regularly—make space on your shelf for the sage wands and crystals! Occult study could also appeal to you. Reiki, tarot, Kundalini breath work—you can become quite the spiritual tourist now. Uranus makes you more of a dabbler than a committed The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

student, so think twice before you sign up for that 200-hour yoga teacher training intensive. We won’t lie: The eighth house is ruled by transformational Scorpio and you may have some “phoenix rising from the ashes” moments. Anything that’s outmoded or not aligned with your soul’s highest energy could be pried away from you. Some Libras will weather a divorce or painful but longoverdue split. While you may experience a few dark nights of the soul, know that it’s all in the name of a deep and powerful reinvention. Uranus will turn retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019—backing into Aries on November 6, 2018 for one last hurrah. An ex could resurface or you may finalize a legal settlement, divorce or business negotiation. On March 7, 2019, Uranus will hunker down into Taurus for the long haul, staying until April 26, 2026. Uranus here can help you form lasting bonds without sacrificing your freedom. Keep your trusted inner circle close, and lean on them for advice and support. And prepare to deepen your connections in some radical new ways!

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Into the spotlight. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Drama or detachment? Four of this year’s five eclipses will fall on the Leo/Aquarius axis, helping you sort out when you should lean in and when it’s better to lean back.

LIBRA 2018 HOROSCOPE

Eclipses can spark unexpected changes, and you might see these sweep through your friendships and love life in 2018. Anyone who brings drama or chaos to your world could get “eclipsed” away. This two-year cycle, which runs from February 2017 to January 2019, will help you find your tribe…and true love, too! January and August feature eclipses in Leo and your eleventh house of group activity. You could suddenly depart from one circle and join a new crew. Friendships may go through a shakeup or a moment of bracing honesty. You might be invited to collaborate on a cutting-edge team project, perhaps one with a humanitarian twist. The eleventh house rules technology, and the digital world could catapult you into influencer status. You might need to be the “backup dancer” instead of the star—but by helping others rise, you’ll solidify your reputation as an indispensable member of this posse. Let’s hear it for some lunar-powered #SquadGoals! Your star turn will come, Libra—don’t worry. In February and July, eclipses in Aquarius will ignite your fifth house of passion and self-expression. Shuck off any shyness and claim the spotlight.

These eclipses could bring a surprise start (or end) of a love affair and in some cases, an unplanned pregnancy. That’s the way of an eclipse—we plan and the universe laughs!

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Career and success and changes. July 12 Movin’ on up! On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse falls in Cancer and your ambitious tenth house of career and long-term plans. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake us up and inspire big shifts. Your goals could get a huge boost or you may be offered a leadership opportunity out of the blue. Ready to assume the #boss role, Libra? The planets are prepping you for top-tier status! These are the inaugural moonbeams of a twoyear Cancer/Capricorn eclipse series, which will sweep through your home, family and career houses. Between now and July 2020, you’ll find a new work-life balance. You may buy or sell a home, relocate for a job opportunity, or entirely change your line of work. Most developments will happen in 2019 and 2020, but you’ll get a sneak preview today of what’s ahead! u

The Highlights LOVE

At last! Adventurous Jupiter in your sign makes you fall in love with your own life again. Unconventional Uranus starts an eight-year visit to your committed relationship house in May, bringing fascinating (and quirky) people into your orbit. Existing partnerships can go through big changes. Single? You could shock yourself (and your friends) by choosing someone wildly different than your usual type. Under this impulsive transit, you may rush into (and out of) relationships at lightning speed. Whiplash!

MONEY & CAREER

The burden has lifted! In December 2017, restrictive Saturn ended a three-year transit through your financial house that forced you to tighten your belt. Apply your hard-won skills and wisdom to building your nest egg now. Two eclipses in Leo ignite your career sector, which could bring exciting professional opportunities when you least expect them. Abundance is yours for the asking in November, once Jupiter starts a 13-month visit to your prosperous second house.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

With unpredictable Uranus leaving your health and fitness house after seven years, you can finally resume a more predictable pattern. You may have radically revamped your approach to diet and exercise during this time. Techsavvy Uranus will make one last visit to Aries from November 2018 to March 2019, so haul out your Fitbit and Vitamix. With structured Saturn in your community zone, you might join a marathon or walk for a cause.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Build your power posse, Scorpio! New friendships could form around common goals as serious Saturn visits your social third house. Mixing work and play will be a no-brainer, and don’t be surprised if you “uplevel” the type of people you call friends. Two eclipses in Aquarius touch your domestic fourth house which could bring a move, a pregnancy or unexpected changes at Chateau Scorpio. u

uit up, Scorpio! 2018 could be one of the most exciting years you’ve had in ages, filled with new horizons and radical reinvention of everything—from your personal identity to your relationships to your home and career. Good thing you’re the zodiac’s “all or nothing” sign! When it comes to thrilling changes, 2018 is serving them up en masse. To be honest, you’ll probably welcome the quickened pace and fresh energy. After all, 2017 wasn’t exactly the easiest year for most Scorpios. It was a heavy, emotional time with lots of

transitions—and not much clarity. Well, say hello to the sunshine, as this year’s cosmic lineup gives you a surge of life-force energy. Leading the charge is expansive Jupiter, which is visiting your sign from October 10, 2017 until November 8, 2018, blessing you with the “It” factor. This could herald one of your most adventurous and growth-filled phases in over a decade. Jupiter only visits your sign every 12 years; its last voyage here was in 2006.

you to write on it. You’re feeling optimistic—or at least, eager for new adventures and risks. Ask the universe for ‘em and you shall receive…in spades. From relocation to new love to a breakthrough turn in the spotlight, you’re manifesting opportunity at warp speed! Your private sign might need to adjust to all the attention you’re attracting. This trailblazing energy is a welcome shift, even if it keeps you on your toes. Jupiter spent most of 2017 slogging through your twelfth house of closure, healing and rest. Some Scorpios had to make sacrifices, such as caring for a loved one going through a tough time. You may have left a job, ended a relationship or closed out a major part of your life. Last year could have been a blur, as Jupiter in this foggy zone is like a year of gestation, when things percolate below the surface but don’t quite manifest into anything tangible. Now, your soul-searching and “drifting” will pay off, as results start to blossom! Your closest relationships will also undergo seismic changes starting mid-May, when pioneering Uranus starts an eight-year journey into Taurus and your seventh house of partnerships. In both work and love, you’ll adopt an unconventional approach to commitments, seeking dynamic duos that help you feel free. While that might sound like a paradox, this year will reveal how much being your own autonomous person actually keeps things hotter! You’ll be drawn to people who do things on their own terms—and you’ll learn a lot from their “live and let live” approach. With Jupiter in Scorpio this year, you’ll need lots of room to roam and explore. Secure people who The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

aren’t threatened by your success and independence will earn top-tier status on Team Scorpio. Home, family and career get their own cosmic renovations, as four of this year’s five eclipses land in Leo and Aquarius and shake up fundamental areas of your chart. These eclipses might bring a leadership or high-profile career opportunity, even a total change of professional path. In personal news, you may move, change your living situation or expand your family. Finances pick up speed (amen!), now that sluggish Saturn finally left Sagittarius and your money and work house after three tough years. From December 2014 to December 2017, stern Saturn cracked the whip, forcing you to be more responsible and regimented. Now, your diligence is rewarded—especially when abundant Jupiter enters Sagittarius for 13 months on November 8. Those hard-won lessons could pay off in the form of a new career path, a raise or a promotion. Saturn moves into a much lighter position this year, visiting Capricorn and your third house of communication and kindred spirits until the end of 2020. You’ll mix business with pleasure and socialize strategically. Surround yourself with powerful allies, Scorpio. This Saturn cycle can teach your secretive sign a lesson or two about being upfront and straightforward. You’ll learn how to communicate directly without being too harsh. If you’ve been a “hidden figure” on social media, you might find a proper reason to develop an online presence. Got a cause you care about? Build a platform to spread an important message.

“With Jupiter in your trailblazing first house of fresh starts and solo ventures, your personal pursuits take center stage in 2018. Whether you embark on a trip by yourself, sign up for yoga teacher training or start taking singing lessons, the idea is to try, try, try without an agenda.” Jupiter in Scorpio: A brand-new life chapter. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Point your compass toward adventure, Scorpio. This is a year to embrace the new and unchartered, as auspicious Jupiter returns to your sign for the first time in 12 years. Jupiter in Scorpio will herald new beginnings, novelty and experimentation, shooting you out of your comfort zone like a cannonball (wheeeee!). Who knows where you’ll land? The adventure is in the journey now. And while your sign doesn’t usually relinquish control so readily, you’ll be too busy defying gravity to worry about the destination. Carpe diem! Many Scorpios will do a total “reset” in 2018, because Jupiter kicks off a fresh 12-year chapter of your life. It would be impossible to map out your ultimate goals because you’re just getting started here. Besides, you’ll be way too busy with all the new opportunities Jupiter is fielding on your behalf. The spotted supersizer was last in your sign from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Page back to then: You might see similar themes of reinvention from that time.

a trip by yourself, sign up for yoga teacher training or start taking singing lessons, the idea is to try, try, try without an agenda. Throw that metaphorical spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. Next year, you’ll figure out what to do with it, or how to “monetize” one of your big ideas. Or, you’ll just look back and see a bunch of items crossed off your bucket list—and know that, for once, you prioritized joy over responsibility. For now, let yourself play and brainstorm, even if that means driving wildly off the main roads. You might opt to take a huge risk. If you do, tune out the naysayers. Follow the words of Nelson Mandela who said, “It’s only impossible until it’s done.” Work-wise, you crave freedom and flexibility during this autonomous Jupiter cycle. If you’re a “solopreneur,” this is a lucky time to build buzz through PR, social media and a message that focuses on you. What’s your unique niche or “brand story”? Why are you passionate about what you do? Jupiter in your star-powered first house nudges you to make yourself stand out—or “come out”—as the heart and soul of your business. Play up your individuality and be a little edgy. That will get people noticing…and talking! For example, maybe you’re a yoga teacher who needs to differentiate yourself in a crowded ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

market. Flaunt your personality and highlight your expertise. Do you specialize in a certain type of yoga or teaching method? Do you have offbeat hobbies that you could weave into your practice, or something that would make your bio memorable? For example, if you love to hike, maybe you’ll lead treks that end with a pose sequence on a breathtaking mountaintop. Visuals count more than ever during this Jupiter phase, because the first house rules first impressions. Did you know that people form an opinion within seven seconds of meeting you? Invest in headshots and consider booking professional hair or makeup for your photos. Launch a sleek and well-designed website, and write in the first-person voice, so your visitors feel like they’re having a conversation with you instead of getting a slick sales pitch. Wondering how you’ll grow? Look to your Libra friends, who hosted Jupiter last year. A recent example is Libra rapper Cardi B, a social media figure and underground hip-hop artist who catapulted to mainstream stardom when Jupiter visited her sign last year. During this Jupiter phase, she inked a record deal with Atlantic Records and her single “Bodak Yellow” reached numberone on the Billboard Hot 100 charts as the “rap anthem of summer.” Dare to be different, says Jupiter—and watch where it takes you. What fires you up on an idealistic level? Intrepid Jupiter in your sign can make you something of an outlier (or an outlaw!) this year. Look at Scorpios like size-16 supermodel Ashley Graham, whose refusal to be pigeonholed as “plus-sized” landed her on glossy covers including the Sports Illustrated The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

swimsuit issue. Or NFL player Colin Kaepernick, who kneeled in peaceful protest during the national anthem to spread awareness of America’s systematic oppression of people of color. Or Hillary Clinton, the first U.S. female presidential candidate, who ran in one of the country’s most divisive elections. Love them or hate them, these lightning-rod Scorpios became controversial figures whose actions broke open huge, institution-changing dialogues. Where can you take a risk in the name of something greater? Position yourself as a leader with a clear and audacious message. In love, you’re invited to take the same gutsy approach. If you’re dating, lead with your quirks and humor instead of making small talk (or studying people with that silent and piercing gaze). Coupled Scorpios need more free time during this indie-spirited phase. Relationships will need to stretch and grow to accommodate your needs this year. You could be traveling, starting a new job, and devoting yourself to an all-consuming new interest. Maybe you’re starting a big life phase that requires the people in your world to adapt. Let’s be clear, Scorpio: You are the lead actor, not the supporting cast, in 2018. And while that’s not license to go full diva on your tribe, don’t miss this chance to “do you.” With Jupiter in your first house of appearances, you could make a bold change to your look, experimenting with a radical new hairstyle, headturning makeup or body art.

SCORPIO 2018 HOROSCOPE

You might be tempted to double down on the Botox injections or cut off all your hair in one sitting. Easy does it, Scorpio! Do you really need that tattoo at 3:00 a.m. after a whiskey-soaked night on the town? Not that you’re listening to anyone these days. Jupiter has swagger, and it can make us a little cocky when it visits the “me”-centric first house. (Your new favorite subject: Yourself !) Watch that your antics don’t tip into ego trips. It’s great to feel so awesome about your accomplishments, and even to self-promote a bit. Just don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back, okay? Jubilant Jupiter can turn even the most secretive Scorpio into an unlikely blabbermouth. There’s a temptation to share about every mundane moment—from your “ahh-mazing” morning workout to a long-winded recount of the driver who cut you off on the freeway. Ask yourself: How does sharing this serve others? Your colorful tale could change someone’s life or it could put them to sleep. It’s all in how you tell it! Jupiter rules publishing, broadcasting and public speaking. Maybe your experiences could be an inspiring life lesson. What’s the takeaway for your listener? Curate those personal stories and you could have the makings of a memoir or a motivational TED-style talk. Even camera-shy Scorpios could get bitten by the performance bug in 2018. If you’re truly passionate about something, you’ll barely even notice when those cameras are rolling.

A hit of star power could arrive while Jupiter forms a rare and harmonious trine (120-degree angle) to glamorous Neptune from May through August of this year. Neptune is in your fifth house of self-expression, and its partnership with Jupiter in Scorpio could bring fame. Your creativity and charisma are at an all-time high, so use them for good. With compassionate Neptune and global Jupiter aligned, you could be the spokesperson for a world-bettering cause—especially if you use art, music or a creative medium as your vehicle. The fifth house rules love, and while Jupiter trines Neptune, single Scorpios might meet someone who’s a soulmate and a playmate in one. A pregnancy is possible. Chemistry will heat up fast, and you won’t be shy about letting this person—and the world—know how you feel. Whether it lasts for the long haul or not, romantic connections will help you grow. This person can draw out a more open and expressive side of your personality. Attached Scorpios might collaborate creatively during this Jupiter-Neptune cycle, putting your visionary ideas into one potent joint project. You could throw an epic benefit party for disaster relief or spearhead an art installation that promotes cross-cultural dialogue in your town. Take inspiration from Scorpio Bethenny Frankel, whose B Strong initiative raises funds for women and families impacted by climate-related crisis.

After a year of adventure and discovery, you’ll now shift into a building phase.” Jupiter in Sagittarius: Money and security grow. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Alright, alright, alright! We couldn’t resist quoting your fellow Scorpio Matthew McConaughey’s Best Actor acceptance speech as a segueway into Jupiter’s grounding new phase that begins in November. First, turn and give yourself an Oscar-worthy affirmation before you “just keep living” (so many McConaughey-isms!). You’ve given a noteworthy performance with Jupiter in your sign. You deserve some applause for all the risks you’ve taken and the ways you’ve grown. Now…what will you do with all that? For the next 13 months, Jupiter will visit Sagittarius and your grounding second house of work, money and security. After a year of adventure and discovery, you’ll now shift into a building phase. Take stock of the wild ideas you’ve had, and pick out one or two winners. Could you develop them into a profitable and fulfilling new path? With Jupiter in this hardworking zone, you’re eager to roll up your sleeves. Luckily, you should have plenty of opportunities to do just that! Move over, glass ceilings and wage gaps. Bountiful Jupiter wants to compensate you fairly—no, generously—for your work. This cycle could

bring a promotion, a raise or a plum new client. Since Jupiter rules long-distance travel, you might start racking up airline miles at your job or even relocate for a big opportunity. Keep an open mind. An offer on the other side of the state, country or world could be too good to pass up. If you’re a little hung over from all the excitement of Jupiter in your sign, you’ll welcome this chance to prioritize and follow a clear action plan. There’s work to do! This Jupiter phase helps you simplify. What do you value most? Getting clear on that is vital now, as you’ll want to design your life around what truly matters to you. For example, if you crave deep connections, living in an isolated area or hanging out with superficial friends won’t cut it. Start exploring a possible lifestyle change as you set your 2019 resolutions. In love, this new Jupiter phase could bring a stable partnership. If you’re single, someone you might have written off as “boring” may now seem absolutely perfect. You’re drawn to the quietly supportive types rather than the flashy arm-candy. Couples will enjoy just being present with each other. Jupiter in your tasteful and tactile second house encourages you to get sensual. Plan some sophisticated dates that are also “high touch.” How about a couple’s massage, a visit to a winetasting workshop or tickets to see a live show?

“With Saturn in your third house of neighborhoods, big ideas could see the most success if you launch them in your own backyard. How about renting a pop-up shop, leading a seminar or hosting a trunk show to show your handcrafted wares?” With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you’re focused on quality over quantity. Use the last two months of 2018 to streamline your schedule, budget and routines. After a non-stop year, you’ll savor the chance to take your time with everything. The best things come from a slow and steady approach.

Saturn in Capricorn: Craft your message. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Good riddance, Saturn! On December 19, 2017, the rigid, ringed planet ended a three-year sojourn through Sagittarius, where it brought tough lessons to your second house of work and money. During this challenging period, you had to tighten your budget and buckle down—there was no cutting corners allowed. Now, the weight is lifted and you should feel more ease around your finances. Whew! Your path may not look as glamorous and high-rolling as you once dreamed. But you can thank clarifying Saturn for helping you get real about budgets, living costs and long-term security. The really good news? Saturn won’t be back here for almost 30 years! So go ahead, treat yourself to a bauble or two.

ideas and local activity until December 2020. Saturn will form an easy sextile (60-degree angle) to your Sun sign now. Rather than hardship, you’ll experience Saturn’s gifts of structure and leadership. If you’re a writer, speaker or innovator, Saturn can help you build a platform to share your ideas. With Saturn in this social sector, you’ll want to choose friends who are also ambitious and a little more serious about their goals. Combining business and pleasure is perfectly fine, Scorpio! This year, you’re probably more in the mood for networking than Netflix. With Saturn in your third house of neighborhoods, big ideas could see the most success if you launch them in your own backyard. How about renting a pop-up shop, leading a seminar or hosting a trunk show to show your handcrafted wares? Building buzz on a smaller scale will allow you to test and perfect your formula and minimize costly risks. (Warning: Impatient Jupiter in Scorpio will tempt you to rush and go big right away!) Are you a master in your field? You could develop a webinar or workshop that positions you as an expert or amplifies your credibility. If you’re a health coach, you could attend an annual wellness summit where you can get additional training and learn the most cutting-edge techniques.

SCORPIO 2018 HOROSCOPE

Your friendships and associations may go through a few growing pains now. You might find you’ve outgrown certain people and just aren’t on the same page. That’s okay. Saturn rules timing, and sometimes, you’re just on different paths. If a bond is really meant to last a lifetime you’ll sync up again later on. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1989 to 1991, so it’s been awhile! This go-round, Saturn will join powerhouse Pluto (your celestial ruler), which is also in Capricorn for a longer run from 2008 to 2024. You’ve been feeling Pluto’s seismic shifts internally, perhaps through changes in the way you express yourself or the people you hang around. While Pluto is “hidden,” Saturn makes things tangible. Now, some of your percolating ideas can be built into a real-deal enterprise. Saturn’s discipline and Pluto’s shrewd insight could give you serious charisma and clout. Walk your talk and you’ll be unstoppable. With these two power players in your community sector, you might take on a new responsibility in your town. Perhaps you’ll join the school board (the third house is associated with K-12 education) or run for local office. At work, you could be named project lead on a cutting-edge endeavor that needs a savvy, whip-cracking producer like you. Since the third house rules kindred spirits, team up with well-connected and influential people. One of them could take your ideas to the next level. Or perhaps you’ll be the person to turn a creative upstart’s ideas into a lucrative hit. Partner with people whose skills complement yours.

Does your social circle need an audit? Weed out the users and be careful that you don’t act “thirsty” around people who have money, power or status. Opportunism and agendas have no place in your life while Saturn visits Capricorn (or ever, really). It’s one thing to help each other rise. It’s quite another to hitch a free ride on someone’s coattails. Build relationships for the long haul, taking time to really get to know each other. If you feel like you “need” someone in order to be successful, that’s a red flag. Ditto if you sense that someone’s only interested in what you can do for them. With the right people, Saturn helps combine your superpowers for the win.

Uranus in Taurus: Free to be me. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Relationship revolution? On May 15, changemaker Uranus will move into Taurus, setting off an eightyear cycle that will reframe your closest ties. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, so this is literally a once-in-a-lifetime period. Between now and April 26, 2026, you’ll undergo dramatic changes in your interpersonal affairs. Uranus is the planet of progress, and it arrives to shake up the status quo. You’ll crave freedom to express your autonomy. Oppressive terms and controlling people will repel you. If you’ve stayed in an unsatisfying relationship out of obligation, circumstances could drive you to break free. While you may have been content to stick around out of duty—for financial reasons or the “sake of the children”—Uranus will snap you right out of that. Your own liberation becomes the priority.

SCORPIO 2018 HOROSCOPE

Uranus could spawn a seven-year itch of sorts. If being monogamous feels monotonous, you’ll eagerly seek a cure for boudoir boredom. You might explore an unconventional love life, such as an open relationship or living separately from a longtime partner. During this experimental phase, you’re much more interested in exploring than settling down. Happily-coupled Scorpios might take the less-traveled road together, renting out your home and seeing the world for a year, or opening an online business together. Some couples will break up or separate. The nature of your bond will evolve if you stay together (or get back together). You’ll be happiest when each of you fully expresses your individuality. Business partnerships will also undergo transformations. Any contracted relationship will likely need to be renegotiated now. You may have agreed to terms that no longer work. If so, outspoken Uranus will force you to advocate for yourself. If you work with difficult people, it will be impossible to bite your tongue just to preserve the professional relationship.

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Home and career in the spotlight. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Work-life rebalancing? Four of this year’s five eclipses will land on the Leo/Aquarius axis, bringing bold and unexpected change to your career house (ruled by Leo) and your domestic sphere (governed by Aquarius). This eclipse series, which runs from February 2017 to January 2019, has already been shaking up these foundational zones of your chart since last year.

Uranus spent the last seven years (since March 2011) in Aries, activating your sixth house of work and wellness. You may have dramatically changed your day-to-day duties, liberating yourself from oppressive tasks or working remotely. Your health might have endured a few rough spots, most likely due to stress that you internalized in your body. That was your wakeup call to make a bigger lifestyle change!

In January and August, eclipses in Leo will sweep through your tenth house of career and ambition. You could change jobs, possibly due to a company restructuring or a major offer that arrives unexpectedly (and is too damn good to pass up!). Clients or roles that are no longer a good fit could be “eclipsed” away. Should this happen, trust that the stars are making room for something better. The job of an eclipse is to clear out the old and outmoded, so don’t hang on with your teeth, especially to a situation that’s not even bringing you happiness or fulfillment. You might be suddenly rocketed into a position of great responsibility. A promotion or leadership opportunity could land in your lap.

This is the first lunation in a two-year Cancer/Capricorn eclipse series occurring between now and July 2020. These eclipses will touch down on your communication axis, shifting your mindset and your message permanently.

The fourth and tenth houses are also the “parent zones” of your chart. The fourth house rules mothers; the tenth house, fathers. Your mom or dad could be central figures at these eclipses. You might confront unresolved family issues that crop up by surprise. Sometimes, you’ve got to deal to heal.

Over the next two years you could get involved in publishing, media or teaching. If you’ve been a silent figure on social media, like many Scorpios, you might become more visible. Fascinating new people from different backgrounds could enter your life, exposing you to new perspectives. (If you thought you were open-minded before…) Your work might involve travel, which could also turn you into more of a global citizen. New spiritual and metaphysical studies may capture your fascination. u

SAGIT TA RIU S N OV EMB ER 2 2- DECEMB ER 2 1

The Highlights LOVE

No more drama? Hotheaded Uranus, the planet of sudden change, starts its departure from your fifth house of love and passion mid-May, after a seven-year sprint. But with your ruler, Jupiter, in your fantasy-fueled twelfth house until November, you could be swept off your feet this year. Is this person your soulmate…or just passing through? It could be hard to tell. Mid-July, an eclipse in your intimacy zone could find some Archers saying “I do.” Other Sags may go through a breakup or a life transition that takes a lot of emotional energy to process. Give yourself that space. You’ll emerge from the cocoon to spread your wings when Jupiter enters Sagittarius for 13 months in November.

MONEY & CAREER

You’ve grown up so much, Sag, thanks to maturity-planet Saturn’s three-year visit to your sign from 2014 to 2017. Now, frugal Saturn is bringing structure to your finance sector, pushing you to budget and prioritize long-term security. Build that nest egg, Sag! You may need to live leaner, but your sensible approach will pay off over time. An exciting joint venture or unexpected windfall could arrive at the July 12 Cancer solar eclipse, which illuminates your wealth sector. In 2018, there are also two full moons in Cancer, on January 1 and December 22, which could bookend your year with bountiful bonuses. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

HEALTH & WELLNESS

With Jupiter in your restful twelfth house until November, you could be sleepier than usual. Wave the white flag and focus your energy inward toward spiritual pursuits, healing and selfdiscovery. Trying to force an agenda will be an exercise in frustration, but when you surrender and let the universe guide, miracles will occur. Luckily, you’ll be saved from couch potato status mid-May, when innovator Uranus sweeps into your health and fitness zone for an eight-year visit. Get ready for an extreme makeover to your diet, fitness and lifestyle—one you’ll probably welcome.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Energy vampires, begone! With Jupiter in your twelfth house of hidden agendas, “user-friendly” types will be exposed. Cut those codependent cords and get relationships back on healthy ground…or move on. Four eclipses this year bring new opportunities for friendship, travel and learning, so stay open to new people and experiences. Your mother or a female relative could be a healing force from May through August, as Jupiter forms a golden trine to compassionate Neptune in your maternal fourth house. Bonds deepen with women and children and you may be inspired to learn more about your own lineage. u

atience is a virtue, Sagittarius—but in all honesty, it’s not one of yours. Well, take a deep breath, because 2018 has a few lessons on “letting go” in store. Your ruling planet, expansive Jupiter, will be in Scorpio until November 8, activating your twelfth house of endings, surrender and healing. Jupiter is wrapping up a long, 12-year trek around the zodiac, and it’s weary from the long journey. You may be a little foggy and sleepy, too. This will be a year of transitions, and the shifts could demand emotional energy. You may do

some deep forgiveness or healing work. A grand plan may not gel as quickly as you hope, and that could surprise your make-it-happen sign. It’s a time to slow down, breathe and work behind the scenes. Your tendency as Jupiter’s child is to take on too much, then figure out how you’ll get it all done later. That strategy will lead you straight to burnout now. When Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8, you’ll have a golden window of opportunity that lasts until December 2, 2019.

your life. Until then, 2018 invites you to complete a phase that began all the way back on November 24, 2006, when Jupiter first set sail through your sign. You’ve grown and changed so much, and now you have a 13-month period to integrate that. Wipe the slate clean of anything that no longer serves you, Archer! You won’t want that baggage weighing you down when Jupiter makes its homecoming at the end of this year.

out ways to delegate a stressful workload. Getting more efficient will leave room in your schedule to travel, explore new hobbies, develop friendships or just enjoy a little unscheduled breathing room. Instead of filling up all the white space in your calendar, keep some empty slots. The universe could add fascinating plans and plot twists. Your prescription for success in 2018? Leave room for mystery and consistency. Less is more!

Some of the weight has already lifted, thankfully. On December 19, 2017, somber Saturn ended a three-year trek through Sagittarius, after testing your mettle for three whole years. Hallelujah and amen! After this tough cycle, you’re stronger and more self-assured than ever. But you weathered your share of challenges and paid some serious dues to get there. Luckily, Saturn only visits your sign every 29 years and it won’t be back until 2044. Exhale the drama, Sag.

Jupiter in Scorpio: A transitional time.

Now that you’ve graduated from Saturn’s boot camp, the ringed planet will bring shape and form to your finances. Taskmaster Saturn spends the next three years in Capricorn and your second house of work and money. While you may need to tighten your belt, you’ll also get smarter about planning, budgeting and earning. Simplify your lifestyle and focus on a few key priorities, rather than keeping too many irons in the fires. But no need to make routine feel boring! Mid-May, innovative Uranus will start an eight-year journey through Taurus and your sixth house of health, fitness and organization. You could hop aboard the wellness wagon, diving into cutting-edge practices. You might radically revamp your lifestyle or figure The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Clear the decks, Sagittarius. Your cosmic overlord, Jupiter, will spend the bulk of this year in Scorpio and your twelfth house of rest, endings and healing. It’s a mystical and dreamy cycle that comes around every 12 years, and calls for a slower, more introspective pace. You’re learning the fine art of “surrender” in 2018. That would be lovely, except surrender is pretty much counterintuitive to modern life and the human condition, which compel us to control everything in our domain. As a result, you may feel out of sync with society, watching people rush around as you wonder, “What is it all for?” Or, you might do what’s typical during this Jupiter phase: try to swim upstream and force an outcome…until you realize that it’s futile. The universe has a bigger plan, and it’s not going to reveal that on your timeline, thanks. But here’s the funny part, Sag. Once you stop struggling and opt to go with the flow, a sense of ease washes over you. As our friend (and AstroStyle’s meditation expert) Terri Cole advises, ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

SAGITTARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

“When you feel like you’re drowning, flip over and float.” The path of least resistance is the one to take now! Needless to say, this is anything but normal for your on-the-go, Type A sign. You’re accustomed to having a million irons in the fire, and way too much going on. You don’t wait for opportunity to find you; you create it out of thin air, with an authoritative snap of your fingers. The things you accomplish singlehandedly in a day could be more than others get done in a year. And while that’s impressive, nobody ever won an award for overachieving. (If they did, you’d have a few in your trophy case, no doubt.) Sitting still is not the Sagittarius forte. But here’s another way of looking at it: The universe has a big package of wisdom and insight to deliver. If you’re too caught up in busy-ness, you won’t be able to receive these gifts. View any slowdowns as an opportunity, rather than impediment. Embrace the Taoist philosophy of wu wei—which translates to “doing by not doing.” This philosophy of nonaction will prevent you from filling the space with noise and nonsense. Silence will allow something deeper to emerge. Your best bet? Treat this transitional Jupiter cycle like a long retreat or sabbatical. Take it easy, go with the flow and enjoy a creative or spiritual renaissance. For artists and healers, Jupiter in Scorpio can inspire some of your best work. Think of yourself as being “in the studio” or a teacher training. Invite the muse to hang out. Summon your spirit guides. Ask those guardian angels for help and their handiwork will appear.

With Jupiter in your sleepy twelfth house, you could feel more tired than usual. Honor your body’s need for rest—and your mind’s, too! Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Look back: Were you wrapping up one chapter of your life in preparation for another? You may see a theme of transitions or letting go. Jupiter’s 13-month visit is a time to take stock of what you’ll bring into the next decade-plus of your life. It’s like going through your closet and deciding what to toss or keep. The few timeless items will stick around, and the rest has to go. It’s sad to release the memories or the hope you’ve invested. But there are “moths” in those garments: grudges, resentments, anger you’ve held onto for too long. Call it “divine decluttering”— soon enough, you won’t want any of your old stuff back. Clear out the cobwebs and make room for new experiences to flow your way.   Sagittarians are famous advice-givers, but this year, you could find that you have more questions than answers. Instead of freaking out, embrace your sign’s philosophical nature and carve time to ponder your purpose. The twelfth house is about receiving. Make yourself into an open channel. Your inner guidance system is dialed up with Jupiter in your zone of spirituality and the subconscious. You might need extra sleep at night, but your dreams could be rich and prophetic. Keep a journal to record any nocturnal symbols or messages. You could also dabble in new healing treatments. Past-life regression therapy, energy work, hypnosis—all things “woo woo” can be incredible tools for resetting the deeper realms of your mind. You could take up a meditation ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

practice or put some guided apps on your phone. Traditional talk therapy can also help you process lingering baggage. With the twelfth house’s emphasis on forgiveness, you may need to confront a painful chapter or deal with a loss. Some part of your life may come to an end, and if you need space to mourn, take it now. Even if it involved a tough decision that was ultimately for the best, you still need to release any bottled-up emotions. Let yourself have a healthy outlet so you don’t turn to vices and self-sabotaging habits. Spa time, anyone? With Jupiter in this nurturing house, you’re encouraged to treat your body like a temple. Even the scrappy Sags who can go months without getting a mani-pedi or a massage could start racking up frequent customer points at the nail salon. Your mind-body-soul connection is strong, and if you do experience any health issues this year, explore this link. The saying “as within, so without” will ring true during this Jupiter phase. Detox your diet, add gentle exercise to your daily routine and prioritize wellbeing over stress. If you have to say “no” to commitments so you can say “yes” to your vitality, don’t even think twice. You come first. And you’ll probably need to be reminded of that, as guilt-trips and codependent cords will be everywhere now. With eye-opening Jupiter in this sacrificing zone, you’ll soon see who’s on Team Sagittarius and who’s just in it for what you can do for them. Adios, energy vampires! You may do some housecleaning of your inner circle. As for your love life? This year could bring a soulmate—or at least, someone who seems like The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

one. Don’t rush to hoist them onto a pedestal, though. Jupiter in your illusion-spinning twelfth house could find you donning rose-colored glasses or falling for a Svengali type. Cue the last Jupiter visit to Scorpio, when Sagittarius Katie Holmes was swept away by a couch-jumping Tom Cruise. (Lessons learned, right?) This phase can also bring a karmic pregnancy. Indeed, the world has Jupiter in Scorpio to thank for the birth of Katie’s minime, Suri. For some Archers, Jupiter in the twelfth house of endings could bring a long-overdue breakup, which will clear the way for a much better connection. But there’s no skipping the healing process, which may involve self-reflection and inner work. The point here is to break a toxic pattern, not to blindly repeat it with the next available candidate. (Romantic) history is doomed to repeat itself until you unearth the core issues. Workwise, you could be plenty busy, but this is a time to disappear into the “lab” and perfect your formula behind the scenes. Develop your ideas on the downlow, then plan a splashy launch when Jupiter enters your sign for 13 months on November 8. Until then, hang out in the chrysalis and let the caterpillar have time to develop into the butterfly you’ll become. Is it time to assume the surrender pose? We all have addictions—if not to alcohol, food and cigarettes, then certainly to the demands of modern life. Jupiter in Scorpio could be a fruitful time for recovery, or to change habits that don’t feed your soul. Spending time in nature, especially near water, can be rejuvenating this year.

time away from your screens when you can. If you’re guilty of “phubbing” (the buzzy term for “phone snubbing”), tuck away gadgets when you’re socializing, sharing a meal or enjoying a show. Not every moment of your life needs to be an Instagram story. Be here now. Healing could come to your home and family this May through August. In a rare alignment, Jupiter will travel in a harmonious trine (120-degree angle), with sacred Neptune, remaining in close contact for these three months. Neptune is in Pisces and your domestic fourth house, and this cycle opens the emotional floodgates. You could heal your bond with a female relative, possibly your mother. You might grow closer by being vulnerable and leaning on each other for support. This phase may herald a pregnancy, a move or a changing cast of characters under your roof. You could also to revamp your décor. Add more spiritual touches: a meditation room or an altar, bohemian accents, whatever puts you in a cozy and contemplative state of mind. Take a Marie Kondo approach and get rid of anything that doesn’t “spark joy.” If it’s in good condition, cart it off to the donation center so it can become someone else’s treasure. Jupiter rules education and travel, and some Sags will study a healing modality or join a spiritual center. There’s no better year for a wellness retreat, preferably near water—maybe with the addition of a service trip where you go help a community in need. With nomadic Neptune involved, you might rent out your home and go travel the world or see long-lost friends and relatives. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

There will be moments when Jupiter in Scorpio tests your patience and even brings you to your knees. You’ll have to keep reminding yourself that it’s temporary and transitional. It could be hard to keep the faith, but clarity is ahead. Sure, you may have a few dark nights of the soul as you wander through the forest and wonder if you’ll emerge or just end up hopelessly lost. But some of your richest spiritual and emotional development can happen now. Remind yourself that you’re not alone. Allow others to support you, from friends and family to departed ancestors and your “guides.” Maybe, just maybe, somebody else has a better plan for once, Sag. Invite their contributions. You don’t have to do this all alone!

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Total life reboot! November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Out of the darkness and into the light! You’ve earned an Olympic gold medal in self-awareness this year, and it’s time to collect your reward. On November 8, Jupiter will make its long-awaited homecoming to Sagittarius, staying all the way until December 2019. This Jupiter phase will kick off a brand-new 12-year chapter of your life—exciting!—and bring fresh experiences your way. Has life in 2018 been an uphill battle—or just a lot of “hurry up and wait”? Fasten your seatbelt, Sag, because it’s action time. The energy will shift from potential to kinetic as Jupiter barrels into your first house of fresh starts, risk-taking and initiative. While you may have felt damn near invisible all ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

year, the glaring spotlight will suddenly follow you everywhere. Use it to your advantage and get the word out for a solo venture or big initiative.

Saturn in Capricorn: Building a financial foundation.

If you weathered tough times, it may be hard to trust that things are really changing for the better. They are, Sag. We know that Jupiter may have dragged you, but there were important lessons to learn. The sooner you can shake off a passive or “victim” mindset, the better. While Jupiter in Scorpio was about allowing and surrendering, Jupiter in Sagittarius does an empowered 180 turnabout. Get back into your make-it-happen mode, which is what Archers do best! Leave your troubles in the rearview. You’re the zodiac’s luckiest sign, after all, so go make up for any lost time.

Free at last! You carried the shackles of Saturn, the planet of discipline, maturity and tough lessons, from December 2014 to December 2017. The ringed taskmaster was visiting your sign, a cycle that happens only once every 29 years. We won’t lie: It was a bit of a butt-kicker. Structured Saturn swept through to take inventory of your life, identifying the weak spots and spotting flaws in the foundation. You may have done a total teardown and rebuild, reinventing part of your life from the ground up.

Soon enough, the sacrifices and struggles you weathered could make sense. They’ll also pay off handsomely. If you’ve been hatching a grand plan behind the scenes, Jupiter in Sagittarius is the perfect time for a buzzworthy launch or a big reveal. The time you spent nurturing this from seed to fruit was well worth it. As the calendar turns, you could feel flooded with hope and optimism. And it won’t take long before you’re hatching big plans for the next major chapter of your life. Not sure what’s next? Allow yourself to experiment with novel ideas and fresh opportunities this year. Don’t pressure yourself to figure it all out. As J.R.R. Tolkien wrote, “Not all who wander are lost.” Turn to a fresh page and set some biggerthan-ever intentions. Or, make a resolution to start crossing big items off your bucket list. Then stride confidently into 2019, with the wind (finally) at your back. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020

Saturn in Sagittarius brought extreme lessons in “adulting,” which aren’t always easy for your sign. Some Sagittarians we know got divorced or broke up with longtime partners. A few lost jobs or weathered the death of a loved one, which forced them to grow up. Others (ourselves included) became homeowners for the first time. In some way, the creation of Sagittarius 2.0 demanded that you rise to new levels of responsibility and leadership. The good news? Saturn won’t be back in Sagittarius until 2044, so you can apply all the self-knowledge you’ve gained to the next 24 years of your life! The next three years are about building and slow, steady growth. Saturn is in Capricorn until December 2020, lending its auditor’s eye to your second house of work, money and self-worth. You could shift into a new job or take an upgraded approach to your career. What’s needed for you to move to the next level? If you’re a DIY type of

Sag, as many are, you might learn management skills. Now is a better time to outsource to qualified people instead of being overly hands-on. Saturn rules experts and mentors and this is an excellent cycle for training. Invest in credentials that will position you for a better paygrade and title. Take your time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. With restrictive Saturn balancing the budget, you may need to tighten that Balmain belt and scale back on expenses. Trim your living costs and be discerning with your splurges. This is a time where “less is more,” so rather than fritter your funds away on material purchases, start building a nest egg. You could surprise yourself by prioritizing security over indulgence. Nothing wrong with being a mogul and enjoying earthly delights, like Sagittarius DJ Khaled, the hip-hop producer whose “major keys” persona won him a massive Snapchat following and an equally sizeable collection of sneakers and Rolls-Royces. But few people know how many years Khaled, the son of Palestinian immigrants, worked his way up to that place. Saturn demands sweat equity and relentless hustle before you can enjoy its spoils. That said, how big is your carbon footprint? If it’s approaching Yeti proportions (or just has one too many pair of designer sneakers), maybe it’s time to tone it down for the survival of our species’ sake. With Saturn in your discerning second house, you might actually prefer to have fewer possessions. Lighten your load and invest in items of quiet quality—or even better, rich experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

115

At work, prepare to pay some dues—and keep the long game in mind. What’s the bigger reason for all your sacrifices? You might embrace a short-term austerity plan if it allows you to save for something major, such as a downpayment on a home. Saturn’s last visit to Capricorn was from 1988 to 1991, and if you can remember back that far, you might see similar themes emerge. This time, Saturn will travel alongside transformational Pluto, which is in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. For the last decade, Pluto has been making a slow, seismic shift to your values and work ethic. You may have adopted a more metaphysical approach to money. Pluto rules the unconscious and our “shadow sides.” You’ve excavated your own limiting beliefs around abundance and shifted your relationship to power. Now, Saturn helps you do the hard work of overcoming those blocks—and getting paid! With mystical Pluto and tangible Saturn both here, you could quickly put your new “prosperity consciousness” into action. Brush up on the Law of Attraction and download a copy of Esther and Jerry Hicks’ Ask and It Is Given. Check out the work of Napoleon Hill and his classic book Think and Grow Rich. Pluto is the sign of karma, a reminder that you can’t take it with you. Look for ways you can make a difference with your time, money and resources by giving back or reinvesting in world-bettering ventures. A microloan to a woman entrepreneur or funds sent to a girls’ school in a developing country could have a huge ripple effect.

Uranus in Taurus: Refresh your routines.

total chaos, but not so much that your routine feels stifling or mind-numbingly predictable.

May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 Sitting still has never really been your thing, Sagittarius. Your nervous energy could ratchet up a few notches this spring, pushing you to find an outlet for stress. On May 15, a new eight-year cycle begins that will reform your approach to health, fitness and daily tasks. Radical Uranus will enter Taurus until April 26, 2026, activating your sixth house of wellness and work. Stifling routines— or a blatant lack of structure—could topple your operations like a house of cards, forcing you to reinvent your schedules, processes and lifestyle. Before you panic, know that this is all in the name of progress. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, so this is literally a once-in-a-lifetime chance to revolutionize your habits and health. Sagittarians are a funny breed: As much as you insist on having your freedom, you’re famous for taking on way too much, which leaves you feeling burdened and, well, anything but free! “I’ll just do it myself ” is your famous line. But it creates a Catch-22: You may get to do things your way, but you end up tethered to a zillion obligations. Talk about defeating the purpose! Uranus is impulsive, mercurial and unpredictable. The sixth house is orderly, and wants us to do things in a systematic and measured way. Yep, they’re pretty much polar opposites. This eight-year Uranus transit could present an existential dilemma for your adventurous sign. The challenge is to strike a balance between spontaneity and security. You’ll need enough planning to keep your life from becoming

One way you can succeed is by learning to delegate. That alone would be a revolution for your sign, Sag. And once you let go, you may feel sweet relief ! Start by defining the duties that feel oppressive or don’t make the best use of your talents. Then hire people, train a team, get an intern—whatever it takes. This exercise could create a temporary upset, because you may realize that you’re wildly unhappy in your current job or role. But Uranus can help you invent a position that gives you both flexibility and financial security. Cutting-edge productivity tricks will get you far, especially ones backed by neuroscience and peak performance studies. We love the work of Dr. Ron Friedman (www.ignite80.com), who has identified a huge gap between the modern workplace and current brain research. Fellow Sagittarius Marie Forleo (www.marieforleo.com) is another great resource, especially for aspiring Sag entrepreneurs. With Uranus in your health sector, your body is talking to you—and you’d be wise to listen. Stress is linked to the majority of diseases, and those aches and pains are warning shots. This Uranus cycle can make you accident-prone, and you may manifest health challenges. This happens when you stubbornly refuse to heed repeated signs that you need to slow down. Working relentless hours and piling pressure on yourself ? Multitasking like a maniac? That’s a recipe for unnecessary mishaps that you simply don’t need. Adopt wise Ben Franklin’s saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Even if ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

you’re in perfect health, don’t take it for granted now. Helpful gadgets and life-hacking tricks can keep you glowing. Invest in that pricey Vitamix blender if it means you can easily prep healthy recipes in minutes, freezing them for a week’s worth of nourishing meals. Stream workouts online: There’s no shortage of HIIT sequences that last five to 15 minutes. You can pretty much do those squats, lunges and planks anywhere, Sag. With nomadic Uranus stoking your wanderlust, you might try a yoga and meditation retreat. Bonus points if it’s paired with a service trip, since Uranus in the helpful sixth house inspires you to be a changemaker. In some ways, this Uranus cycle will be a welcome relief. Since March 2011, the sideways-spinning planet has been stirring up drama in Aries and your passionate, expressive fifth house. Whew! Your love life may have gone through dramatic twists and turns. Maybe you dabbled in unconventional arrangements or dated multiple people. Since the fifth house rules fertility, a pregnancy (or an adoption) could have been life-changing. Other Sags made the decision not to have children. This cycle also stoked your creativity, helping you put your talents on display. You may have become “Internet famous” (and maybe notorious—eek!) or the vocal champion of a cause. Uranus will be retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019; and on November 6 of this year it will back into Aries for one last hurrah. Your love life or an artistic venture could go through one final round of overhauls. On March 7, 2019, Uranus will settle into Taurus for a long run. Time to get busy, Sag!

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Hear ye, hear ye! January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Speak up, Sag! Not that your effusive sign needs to be encouraged to do that. Four of this year’s five eclipses will ignite your communication sectors, fueling you with ideas, inspiration and even a motivating message for the world. These game-changing eclipses are part of a series that’s falling on the Leo/Aquarius axis from February 2017 to January 2019, which will shift everything from the way you present your ideas to your mindset. You’re hungry for information and insight, and eager to share what you learn. In 2018, your voice could be a vital addition to the dialogue, both locally and globally. Sagittarius rules publishing, and you could see your name in print or your byline in pixels. In January and August, eclipses in Leo will sweep through your ninth house of travel, entrepreneurship and higher learning. You could suddenly return to school, start a business venture or connect with a kindred spirit across cultures and geography. Diversity could become an important platform or part of your mission. You could lock in a long-distance client or take a dream vacation. But since eclipses bring surprise events, plans might be spontaneous and swift. For example, maybe you score a last-minute fare alert to your dream destination that’s too good to pass up. Don’t overthink it—just go! (Luckily, most Sags don’t need to be convinced of these things.)

SAGITTARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

The Aquarius eclipses of February and July touch your third house of local activity, communication and kindred spirits, bringing powerful conversations that could turn the tides. Writing, teaching, social media and marketing—the eclipses energize all the outlets you could use to spread a message. Learning is emphasized. You might sign up for a training workshop or webinar to boost your skills. A relationship with a sibling, cousin or neighbor could be part of events now. You might make a dynamic duo official by teaming up on a project. Or, you could suddenly split from a longtime collaborator and go your separate ways.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Intimacy and wealth. July 12 Merging time? On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse falls in Cancer and your eighth house of intimacy, shared finances and joint ventures. Eclipses bring unexpected news designed to wake us up and inspire big shifts. An unexpected windfall could land in your lap, perhaps through

an investment, real estate or an inheritance. You may get serious about your long-term finances, learning how to make your money work harder for you. This is the kickoff of a two-year eclipse series on the Cancer/Capricorn axis that will reform the way you spend, save and invest. You may buy or sell property between now and July 2020, or you could change jobs. Some Archers will marry, divorce or have children, as these eclipses push you to combine your energies and resources in lasting ways. The major shifts will happen in 2019 and 2020, but this year’s lunation is an eye-opening look at the “ride-or-die” members of Team Sagittarius. Do they have your back as much as you have theirs? A soulmate figure could enter your life near this year’s eclipse. You may have sexual and emotional chemistry, or they might open doors to a new level of prosperity. A spiritual awakening is also possible. u

The Highlights LOVE

Romance with a twist? Unconventional Uranus will start an eight-year journey through your passionate fifth house this May, sparking desires that might surprise even you. A pregnancy is possible. Coupled? Monogamy doesn’t need to equal monotony, and experimental Uranus could get the fires burning for longtime couples, too. In July, a solar eclipse in your committed relationship house might move things into official territory fast. Longtime duos will embark on a new chapter together, which may be a refreshing change of pace.

MONEY & CAREER

With accomplishment-driven Saturn (your ruler) in your sign for the next three years, you’ll get serious about your goals! You could slowly and steadily build a solo venture into your next empire. If you’re an expert in your field, Saturn may help establish you as a recognized and respected figure. Money management gets a makeover from this year’s four eclipses in your financial houses. You could explore a joint venture, an investment or real estate, and you might field some unexpected job offers. With lucky Jupiter in your teamwork and technology zone, collaborations bring abundance. Look no further than your social circles for promising hookups.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Streamline and simplify. While disciplined Saturn is in Capricorn, you’ll need to cut the excess and prioritize. Luckily, many Caps already take this “less is more” approach. Saturn rules time, and while he’s in your first house of appearances, you may explore anti-aging treatments or natural ways to keep your vitality glowing. Or, you’ll embrace the beauty of getting older. In November, Jupiter enters your healing twelfth house for 13 months, a transitional time to rest and go within.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Your efforts to establish firm roots hasn’t been easy for the past few years. But in 2018, sweet stability could come to your home life at last. Disruptor Uranus has spent the last seven years in your domestic fourth house. Since 2011, you’ve had your share of ups and downs with a living situation. A female relative, possibly your mom, could have been a source of stress. MidMay, Uranus departs, helping you settle into a deeper sense of security. With expansive Jupiter in your eleventh house of friendships, you could connect with a whole new tribe. Embrace the spirit of community, whether it happens locally or virtually. This could be a fabulous year to travel with friends or to try an all-inclusive resort where you can meet new people. u

all in the cranes and construction crew, Capricorn. In 2018, you’re building a brand-new foundation, one that will shape the next 28 to 30 years of your life. If that sounds major, well, it is! Your ruling planet, Saturn, has made its homecoming to Capricorn, where it will visit from December 2017 until December 2020. Your entire lifestyle and identity could undergo important renovations—if not an entire rebuild— during this cycle. If you’ve been working on a personal project, Saturn could set the stage for a

Expansive Jupiter is visiting Scorpio and your eleventh house of popularity and collaborations until November 8. Ditch the Lone Ranger act, Capricorn. This year, you’ll get by with a little (or a lot) of help from your friends. The eleventh house rules teamwork and technology, and with global Jupiter here, your ideas could go viral.

CAPRICORN 2018 HOROSCOPE

Your cutting-edge ideas could even attract fame in the second half of 2018. Mid-May, innovative Uranus will blaze into Taurus and your fifth house of self-expression, creativity and passion. This is the start of an eight-year cycle that will revolutionize everything from your love life to your hobbies to the way you present yourself. The spotlight might be uncomfortable or unfamiliar, but you’ll get accustomed to its warmth soon enough! And you’ll be happy to leave the departing Uranus cycle in the rearview. Since 2011, Uranus has been in Aries and your fourth house of home and family, making it hard to set up stable roots. You may have moved, changed your family structure and cut a few codependent cords, especially with female relatives. Uranus will make one final visit here from November 2018 to March 2019, revealing where your personal life could still use some radical but necessary changes. Money makeovers are in the 2018 forecast, too. With four eclipses sweeping through your financial sectors this year, you could change jobs or radically revamp the way you earn, spend, save and invest. Partnerships, both business and romantic, can undergo big evolutions. Some will move to a more permanent status, while others can fizzle out. Is it time to put a ring on it or ink a binding deal? A dynamic-duo opportunity could arrive on July 12, when a Cancer solar eclipse powers up your committed relationship house. The year will close out on a quieter note. On November 8, Jupiter will drift into Sagittarius and your twelfth house of endings, healing and rest for 13

months. This can be a transitional time where your focus turns to tying up loose ends or working behind the scenes. The silver lining? You’re preparing for another grand unveiling that starts December 2, 2019, when Jupiter moves into Capricorn and kicks off a fresh 12-year chapter. Wow! Hosting both Jupiter and Saturn in your sign—a rare occurrence—will give you serious steam. Use the next couple years to set the foundation, so you’ll be ready to go big when that happens. Note to linear Caps: Leave room to experiment as you perfect your recipe for success. Stay receptive to new tribes that share your interests, values and priorities. While your loyalty to lifelong friends is golden, you also need a community that “gets” who you are now. Honor the past, but don’t get stuck in it.

Jupiter in Scorpio: Time to team up. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 You’re crushing every popularity contest this year, as enthusiastic Jupiter high-jumps through Scorpio and your eleventh house of friendship, teamwork and technology. After a hardworking and focused 2017, Jupiter invites you to loosen up your collar and have some well-deserved fun! Even better? You’ll do so in the company of fascinating people whose unconventional ideas inspire you to think outside the box. This year, your best luck comes from finding your tribe and going hard together. Collaborations can take your ideas to new heights. So put a leaf in the dining room table and arrange the sofas in a “conversational” setup, Capricorn. Start buying snacks and drinks in bulk.

Whether you’re starting a band, working on a team project or making new friends, you could surprise yourself by becoming an active member of your social circles. Mayor Capricorn has an unexpected ring to it, doesn’t it? Jupiter is the planet of evolution and expansion. It rules travel, study, entrepreneurship and crosscultural connections. In 2018, Eleanor Roosevelt’s words could be your mantra: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” This cycle demands that your friendships uplevel—or go bust. You could distance yourself from people with odious political views or small-minded opinions. Or, since you’re such a loyal sign, perhaps you’ll “agree to disagree” and keep certain topics off-limits. You might also take the lead and get your crew out of a monotonous rut. Host a salon at your house and invite friends from various groups to mix things up. Gather your friends to go hear a motivational speaker’s lecture instead of sitting around gossiping. The utopian eleventh house rules dreams, the future and humanitarian ideals. Forget the outworn stereotype of Capricorns as stuffy, suit-wearing moguls.

With Jupiter in your society sector, you might be quite an activist this year. Maybe you’ll even run for office or take a leadership role on a team. Stranger things have happened! Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006, and you could see similar themes from that time recur. “Alexa, find me an app developer in Warsaw!” The digital sphere could become your playground with Jupiter in this tech-savvy house. An online project may blow up or you might team up with a longdistance person thanks to global Jupiter’s influence. Even proud Luddites could shed their stubbornGoat ways for postmodern conveniences this year. (That flip phone is adorably retro and all, but…) Enterprising Capricorns might adopt a digital platform—YouTube, Instagram, a website—to launch a savvy startup.

Or, take advantage of any educational credits offered by your job. In love, this Jupiter phase could be more platonic than bionic. The eleventh house rules casual connections and you’ll prefer a more lighthearted vibe. Couples might spend time mingling with mutual friends and socializing as a duo. You’ll crave more independence and time to pursue your own interests. Autonomy makes the heart grow fonder with Jupiter in this liberated zone. You may also be drawn to an unconventional arrangement, from dating multiple people at once to trying an open relationship. Or, you’ll get experimental within a monogamous bond. Time to write the script of your own erotic “toy story”? Your bedroom could be, er, buzzing with activity in 2018. Single Caps might take a little break from dating and focus on building a tribe of close friends.

From May through August, Jupiter will travel in a close trine (120-degree angle of harmony) to compassionate Neptune, which is in your third house of communication and local events. You could meet people who share your values and ideals—and maybe you’ll collaborate creatively. You don’t have to go far to find your soul tribe now, Capricorn. Some of them might be as close as your own backyard. This is a great time to throw a glamorous benefit party in your neighborhood or to share your artistic creations at an area gallery. Feeling synergy with a like-minded person? Test the waters on a trial project that taps both of your skills. You could have the makings of a dynamic duo here. A sibling or neighbor may figure into events now. Perhaps there’s some healing to do on your connection. Aim to reach a greater understanding of each other and put any conflict to rest.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Healing and transitions. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Fold up those social butterfly wings for a minute— or rather, for about 13 months.

It’s an excellent time for spiritual work, therapy or diving into artistic projects—anything that activates your imagination or plumbs your subconscious depths.” life in preparation for a new one, which will begin December 2019, when Jupiter sails into your sign. In the meantime, your job is to slow down, sort and process. What belongs in this next phase and what has passed its prime? Whether it’s a relationship, a mindset or a habit, examine what no longer serves you. You could be grieving a loss or the end of a relationship, or perhaps you’re just in the weird inbetween space of a transition. For example, maybe you’ve moved to a new town where you don’t really know anybody yet, or you have a new job and you don’t quite have a feel for the company culture. Lay low and observe. Jupiter in the twelfth house is like a long sabbatical. It’s an excellent time for spiritual work, therapy or diving into artistic projects—anything that activates your imagination or plumbs your subconscious depths. But if you try to force things to happen, you’ll face harsh reality checks and obstacles. This is a year to practice surrender, which is one of the hardest things for humans to do. We labor under the illusion that we’re in control—or that, with the right amount of grit and willpower, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. Guess again, Capricorn. Those once fail-safe strategies will get you nowhere once Jupiter plunges into these depths. The twelfth The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

house has a divine plan, and it will gladly show you those blueprints once you stop resisting. Humbling as it can be, you’ll attract miracles when you finally quit swimming upstream. Many people attract a soulmate or have a “meantto-be” pregnancy while Jupiter is in this mystical sector. You’re a channel for the divine now, which is also why great works of art, music and writing can be produced during this Jupiter phase. Make space for the muse through meditation, gentle exercise and time spent near water. How about a retreat in Bali or Thailand where you can do all three? Now that’s #goals that Jupiter here can get behind.

Saturn in Capricorn: Rebuilding the Capricorn empire. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 A three-year reinvention project is underway— and you’re at the center of it! Your ruling planet, staunch Saturn, has returned to Capricorn for the first time since 1991, a visit that will last until December 2020. This is the beginning of a new 29year chapter of your life, and Saturn has arrived to construct a solid foundation. Banish any thoughts of instant gratification and overnight success.

CAPRICORN 2018 HOROSCOPE

“Saturn rules aging and the first house governs appearances. Under this transit, you might feel (and see) the passage of time showing up on your body. (Sigh.) Should you embrace those random gray hairs and wrinkles or dabble in anti-aging treatments?” all about hard work, paying dues and doing things right the first time. Before you can start your renovations, there may be a teardown or two. With Saturn in your sign, old and outmoded structures in your life collapse— or are demolished—to make way for the gleaming towers of the Capricorn 2.0 empire. Saturn is the cosmic building inspector. It will find every flaw in your architectural plan and demand that you bring it up to code. But in the long run, you’ll be glad you did. After all, what good is a towering skyscraper made of shoddy materials? Have you underestimated how much time, money or effort something will take? Saturn could deliver a harsh wakeup call. And don’t even think about trying to cheat the system this year. Authoritarian Saturn will lay down the law. Saturn is the planet of maturity, and you could learn some major lessons in “adulting” now. Jobs or relationships can fall away if you don’t pull your weight, or if you team up with people who don’t have the right credentials and skills. We won’t lie: Hosting Saturn in your sign can be challenging because it demands pristine levels of integrity and responsibility. For many Capricorns, these are simply part of your standard operating The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

procedures, and you’ll welcome this time of increased structure. Other Caps will find that Saturn demands big adjustments. Weak spots will be revealed and shoddy plans collapse. Have you been sweeping important issues under the rug, hoping they’ll go away on their own? Avoidance and denial should not be your copilots with General Saturn in the house. But if you’re patient and persistent (also Capricorn hallmarks), you’ll see the results of your hard work bear fruit. The big payoff won’t all happen this year; in fact, Saturn usually leaves you with a parting gift if you stick it out and do the work. Over the next couple years, you’ll see gradual and cumulative shifts. You’ll feel more grounded and sure of yourself. You’ll rise to challenges with grace instead of doubting yourself. And you’ll carry yourself with so much confidence that you may be offered a leadership post. With Saturn in your first house of self, this is a key time to develop “the brand of you.” Are you presenting a clear and authentic message? You might get serious about building a personal platform, investing in professional headshots and video, for example, or getting mentored by an industry veteran. Saturn in your sign can help you gain recognition as an expert or heavy-hitter. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

For creative Capricorns, this Uranus cycle might produce some of your most poignant and seminal work.” Mastery falls under Saturn’s domain. You can boost your status and credibility—as long as you put in the long hours and sweat equity to truly earn your title. This is not the time to “fake it ‘til you make it.” Saturn rules aging and the first house governs appearances. Under this transit, you might feel (and see) the passage of time showing up on your body. (Sigh.) Should you embrace those random gray hairs and wrinkles or dabble in anti-aging treatments? Proceed with caution—and a light touch—if you choose the latter. Regular self-care can shake off some of the emotional heaviness that Saturn imposes on you. Saturn rules the teeth, skin, bone structure and knees, and these may be body parts that need special attention now. Chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy could also have a profound effect. If necessary, change your diet and exercise habits to boost your energy levels. Your style could take a turn for the simple and sophisticated. Saturn is a minimalist, and while it’s in Capricorn, you could become even more nofrills. You might be drawn to severe or “masculine” looks: cropped hair, sparse makeup, unembellished clothing in muted colors. Status-driven Saturn can also bring out your inner snob! You’ll be

drawn to timeless items of quiet quality that exude good taste. Think: crisp, tailored clothing from a bespoke designer or an exclusive capsule collection. Accountable Saturn could inspire you to downsize your carbon footprint. Antique, vintage or “freecycled” treasures could become your new obsession—or you might adopt a lessis-more approach and give a bunch of nice stuff away. Clothing swap at Chateau Cap, anyone? This energy isn’t entirely new, because you’ve been hosting transformational Pluto in Capricorn since 2008, a long cycle that lasts until 2024. Pluto is the mythological god of the underworld, and he’s been slowly but powerfully shifting your beliefs, identity and the role you play in relationships. But where secretive Pluto is imperceptible, Saturn makes things tangible. Saturn’s arrival marks a cosmic coming-out party, a big reveal of all the internal changes you’ve been through. (All the more reason to make sure you do everything on the up-and-up!) Saturn and Pluto won’t make a super-close alignment until 2020, but you’ll feel their influence. This year you might finally show the world what you’re made of—at last!

On May 15, radical changemaker Uranus swings into Taurus, igniting your fifth house of passion, self-expression and creativity. Uranus is here until April 26, 2026, imbuing your reserved sign with a bold new attitude. Capricorns have a reputation for being all about work, but with Uranus in this childlike zone, your greatest personal growth will come through play. From unleashing your inner artiste to leaping into a lusty love affair, the pleasure principle will become your new GPS. Bring on the joie de vivre! Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get in touch with your instincts—that raw life-force energy that drives your desires. For creative Capricorns, this Uranus cycle might produce some of your most poignant and seminal work. (Could a new album by Capricorn Mary J. Blige be in the works? Here’s hoping!) Uranus in Taurus could herald a romantic revival, ready or not. You may be wildly attracted to a new type of person—or people—as experimental Uranus tempts you with amorous adventures. Why have one lover when you can have…many? Your normally committed sign might journey beyond the bounds of traditional monogamy. Since the fifth house rules fertility, an unexpected pregnancy or adoption might change the course of your future. You may also have an eye-opening experience with a younger person whose fresh perspective alters the way you see the world.

Truth be told, you’re ready for some fun. Uranus is ending a seven-year run through Aries and your fourth house of home, family and foundations. You’ve gone through major emotional growth, but it may have involved turbulence at home, a move (or two) and a lot of deep personal work. Your relationship to your mother, a child or a female relative might have weathered tumultuous times. This was all in the name of you learning how to use your voice and express your individuality—something many dutiful Capricorns struggle with, especially in their families of origin. Codependent cords were clipped and you learned to let the demanding dependents in your life fend for themselves. You may have one last round of evolution in your personal life, because Uranus turns retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019, backing into Aries for a four-month final hurrah on November 6 of this year. Use this time proactively to heal a family rift, change your living situation or practice more emotional transparency. On March 7, 2019, Uranus will make its final exit from Aries, blazing into Taurus for a hot-and-heavy seven-year itch!

In February and July, two Aquarius eclipses will ignite your second house of work and money. A job change is possible, or you could have an eyeopening realization that you need to budget, spend and save very differently. Maybe you’ve become imprisoned by all your “stuff” and you want to downsize. Perhaps your company restructures and eliminates your department, or moves everyone into new roles. Remain flexible—and have faith. In the event that you do lose a job, you can rest assured that a much better fit will soon be on its way. Stay proactive and start hustling! Investments and real estate could enter the picture in January and August, when these supercharged lunations will land in Leo and your eighth house of joint ventures and wealth. A chance to pool your talents and resources for mutual gain could crop up. A real estate or legal matter could reach resolution. You might receive a windfall, such as an inheritance or, conversely, have to suddenly pay out a large lump sum to settle a debt.

And speaking of “psychic,” the spiritual eighth house eclipse could ramp up your intuition. The Law of Attraction is on your side near these dates, so make sure you’re operating with the utmost integrity if you negotiate a deal or pool your funds with anyone. Have an attorney draft and review contracts and make sure you’re fully protected. You could also join forces on a personal level, as the eighth house rules merging in the emotional and sexual realms. These eclipses could bring a surprise proposal, pregnancy or split. You could find yourself on one end of the spectrum or the other, perhaps without much notice. A simmering attraction could reach full-tilt or you could attract a soulmate, someone you feel like you’ve known for lifetimes. Maybe you have! The eighth house rules all the big life cycles, from birth to death to other rites of passage in between. You may experience some “major moments” near these eclipses.

But these are just the rumblings of a much bigger transformation. This midsummer lunation kicks off a two-year eclipse series falling on the Cancer/Capricorn axis. Between now and July 2020, life-altering changes are coming to your personal identity and your closest relationships. Your intimate ties (for business or pleasure) could shift and you may walk away from unsatisfying arrangements. If you’ve poured all your energy into others, these eclipses will force you to rebalance and focus on your own priorities. And if you’re a lone-wolf type, fascinating new figures will enter your world, reminding you that, as Barbra Streisand famously crooned, “People who need people…are the luckiest people in the world.” The bulk of these Cancer/Capricrn eclipses will happen in 2019 and 2020, but this year’s sneak preview gives a template for what’s ahead. u

The Highlights LOVE Your partnerships are going through a big evolution this year, as four change-making eclipses touch down on the Leo/Aquarius axis. Your personal needs and your approach to relationships are getting an overhaul. That could bring anything from a sudden split to a quickie engagement to improved dynamics with your longtime love. Balancing “me” and “we” is the greater goal of these eclipses—and always the holy grail for your independent but peopleloving sign.

MONEY & CAREER Cheers to your success, Aquarius! Expansive Jupiter is soaring through the top of your chart until November, bringing fresh possibilities to your tenth house of career and ambition. This could be one of your luckiest years in over a decade to take a calculated professional risk.

If you work in a wellness or healing profession, Saturn can bring a boon for your career.

Your relationship with your mother, a child or a female relative may go through a lot of shifts with Uranus in your feminine fourth house.

hange is in the air—and at the same time, so is stability. Yup, 2018 is a bit of a paradox that way. The planets seem intent on pushing you toward your goals while simultaneously throwing you curveballs. Just when you think you’ve figured out a plan, the universe laughs…though not unkindly.

Leading the charge toward stability is expansive Jupiter, which will soar through the very top of your chart until November 8. Jupiter is visiting Scorpio and your tenth house of success, leadership and professional pursuits, putting you in ambitious and optimistic spirits.

AQUARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

“‘La vie boheme’ could replace ‘home sweet home’ on your welcome mat. Frankly, it suits you!” or an important male could also be in the spotlight. But just as you’re getting settled, along come four game-changing eclipses, which will fall on the Leo/ Aquarius axis this year. These eclipses are part of a series running from 2017 until early 2019, which are reshaping your individual path and your closest relationships. You’re evolving rapidly, Aquarius, and so are your needs. The nature of your partnerships, both business and personal, can change dramatically in 2018. Circle February 15 and July 27 for the two eclipses that will touch down in your sign. July’s total lunar (full moon) eclipse, could bring a turn in the spotlight or a major epiphany about your life’s direction. If you’ve been agonizing over the options, this may be the flashing neon sign that helps you (finally!) figure out an important next move. That said, don’t rush to put down roots. Mid-May, unpredictable Uranus—your ruling planet—will start an eight-year voyage through Taurus and your fourth house of home, family and foundations. You might move multiple times, buy property out of the blue or suddenly pull up the stakes and go full Aquarian nomad. Family fluctuations could be part of this pattern. For example, you might relocate so your kids can attend a better school or to care for a relative in need. Communal Aquarians are often drawn to counterculture, so you might explore co-op living, a housing swap that lets you spend a year abroad or in an Airstream trailer for a few months.

boheme could replace “home sweet home” on your welcome mat. Frankly, it suits you! Structured Saturn is also contributing to this flowy energy as it spends the next three years in Capricorn and your twelfth house of closure, healing and mysticism. While you’re often the person in the middle of every crowd, don’t be surprised if you start craving a little time off the grid. Solitude and contemplation help you grow, and you might embark in a course of therapy or do some important forgiveness work. Saturn rules fathers and men, so there could be some “daddy issues” to work through. With Saturn in the final zone of your chart, a long chapter is coming to an end. You may have important items to wrap up in preparation for Saturn’s entry into Aquarius in 2020, which will set off a new 29-year life cycle. (Yup, it’s major!) If you’re an artist or healer, Saturn could reward you with recognition, especially if you’ve been dedicated to your craft for a long time. Or, you may decide to go deep into study with a master or mentor who can help you hone your gifts. On November 8, lucky Jupiter will sail into Sagittarius and your eleventh house of popularity, bringing new and compatible people into your sphere for the next 13 months. Replace those userfriendly types with like-minded trailblazers who are also up to big and interesting things. Ditch the draining energy vampires and surround yourself with an inspiring squad that brings out your best. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

AQUARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

Jupiter in Scorpio: Your lucky career cycle. October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Who’s on top? Looks like it’s you, Aquarius—the fair-minded zodiac sign who “doesn’t believe in hierarchies.” Turns out, the stars are eager to hand the leadership mantle to you this year. Expansive Jupiter is spending 13 months in Scorpio and your tenth house of career, success and public recognition. This could be your luckiest professional cycle in over a decade because Jupiter only comes here every 12 years, throwing open doors (and windows!) of opportunity. Even better? With indie-spirited Jupiter in the picture, you don’t have to sell out or become some corporate drone to achieve success. One of the grand ideas you had during the last Jupiter cycle could turn into something much bigger. Jupiter rules expansion and the tenth house rules structure, which is a bit of a paradox. This year, you’ll discover how commitment can actually set you free. When you prioritize by only devoting your energy to one or two ideas, you can accomplish so much. Instead of scattering yourself in a million directions, lean into a long-term goal. Jupiter was last in Scorpio from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. If you look back, you may have started or ended a significant cycle of your career that year. Are you ready for new frontiers once again? Since Jupiter rules risktaking and evolution, you could feel like you’ve outgrown your current professional path. Or you’re ready for some interesting projects to come your way. Some Aquarians will make a dramatic

U-turn into a whole new field in 2018. Should you switch your career from computer programmer to Pilates instructor, or from midwife to mechanical engineer? Well, why not? Maybe the change comes from your current job. For example, your company could restructure, and management shuffles your duties or picks you to lead an experimental new initiative. Embrace the opportunity to branch out, especially if it includes more accountability. Sure, that might be stressful, but it’s also a golden window to show how competent you are. Welcome the new and unchartered! For some Aquarians, your best bet might be to adopt the role of “intrapreneur”—someone who takes on an entrepreneurial role within a big organization. The tenth house sits at the top of the zodiac wheel, and visionary Jupiter at its summit has you pondering lofty topics, such as: How do I want to be seen in the world? What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind? You could build a platform to spread your message or develop “mastery” of a topic. Working with a seasoned veteran can increase your odds of success, since the tenth house rules mentors. If you’re already an expert in your field, you may be invited to speak in public. Invest in headshots or sleek business materials to present the most polished image possible. With lucky Jupiter in your tenth house of corporations, your career could involve work with an established business or a publicly-traded company. (Negotiate some stock options if you can!) With lucky Jupiter on your side, don’t be surprised if a major player makes you an offer. It might come with a chance to travel or relocate, which your ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

credentials or get mentorship from a professional coach. Some Aquarians might look into formal management training—even a natural “people person” like you could benefit from acquiring new skills now.

When worldly and inspiring Jupiter comes to your dutiful tenth house, you can rise into a role of great responsibility. Somebody has to steer this ship, so it might as well be your egalitarian sign. And no, you don’t have to ditch your principles or turn into a Type-A control freak to do it.

The tenth house is the domain of men, masculinity, fathers and authority. This Jupiter transit could reframe your relationship to an important guy in your life—or even with men overall. This philosophical phase may heal any “dad issues” or bring you closer to the father figures in your life. While Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, you might do some repair work on this relationship. Use this slowed-down time to dive into the nittygritty details of your ambitious plans.

Here’s a lesser-known thing about Aquarius: You’ve got a free spirit and a rigid micromanager living inside you…and they regularly battle for domination. One minute you’re the teacher’s pet; the next, you’re the badass problem child getting marched to the principal’s office. In life, you’ll take the most outrageous and mind-blowing risks, only to follow them with a wave of anxiety and selfdoubt. (Your friends have talked you through plenty of these freakouts, trust us.) Here’s why: Your sign’s ruling planet is unconventional Uranus, the galactic shock-jock who spins sideways and shakes up the status quo. But before Uranus was discovered in 1781, Aquarius was under the governance of uptight and old-school Saturn, which is still considered your co-ruler. So have a little empathy for yourself. You’re controlled by both the most rebellious planet (Uranus) and the rule-enforcer (Saturn)…and you never know which one to obey! Since Jupiter rules higher education, you might take some university-level courses to build your The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

The way you deal with authority can also shift under Jupiter’s influence. Maybe you spend a lot of time on Facebook blasting “our government” and posting outrage-provoking news stories. Or you’re the office’s (uncrowned) water-cooler royal, always griping to coworkers about the “terrible leadership” in your company. Time to walk your talk, Aquarius. If you don’t like the way something’s being done, Jupiter challenges you to do something about it! Who knows? Maybe you’ll run for public office or make an ally out of a decision-maker. Once you have their ear, present your ideas for how to do things better. You make an inspiring public figure this year, especially if you champion a cause that betters people’s lives. From May through August, Jupiter will travel in a rare and opportune trine (120-degree angle of harmony) to compassionate Neptune, which is in Pisces and your second house of work ©2018 Mediarology, Inc.

AQUARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

“If you work in a spiritual or healing field, your practice could boom and you may even gain a small amount of fame. Don’t let it go to your head, though—stay focused on helping people!” and money. Use your influence to speak up against something that’s unfair or to spread awareness around an important topic. You’ll crave goals with soul, paychecks with purpose and meaningful moneymaking during this Jupiter-Neptune wave. You could interview for a job that really makes a difference on the planet, or spearhead an initiative in your own company. This is a great time to put your own money where your morals are. For example, maybe you’ll start a drive to earn a bounty for disaster relief efforts or dabble in microloans to help women in developing countries build sustainable businesses. If you work in a spiritual or healing field, your practice could boom and you may even gain a small amount of fame. (Don’t let it go to your head, though—stay focused on helping people!) Or, you’ll adopt a more soulful approach to money and “prosperity consciousness” through meditation, mindfulness and creative visualization. The Law of Attraction is working overtime for you during the Jupiter-Neptune alignment. Tune your field to abundance, not scarcity. Health-wise, you may work with a trainer or join a boot camp program. Don’t go overboard, though. Simple and sustainable habits are the key to meeting any fitness goals this year. For best results, infuse a spirit of fun and adventure in there, too.

Get a small group together and mix morning sweat sessions with socializing, or sign up for a charity walk where you can bond while you burn. While sea-god Neptune is traveling in tandem to global Jupiter, a wellness retreat by the ocean could have your name written all over it. The key to this Jupiter phase? Balancing the right amount of autonomy and responsibility. You’ll crave more guarantees and long-term plans—but not so many that you feel hopelessly boxed in. Be wise with time and money management. You could end this phase on solid ground, ready to celebrate one of your most successful years yet!

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Connect with your crew. November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Who are the people you call “tribe,” Aquarius? Well, you could be meeting a lot more of them this November, when bountiful Jupiter starts hosting a 13-month party in your eleventh house of friendship, groups and technology. Aquarius is the natural ruler of this zodiac house, so you’re fully in your element here. Hooray! After a long and hardworking year, you’re ready for some levity. Teamwork truly does make the dream work now, so spread some of that responsibility around. Inspiring new collaborations and cutting-edge people could enter your sphere now. Outmoded

friendships may fall by the wayside, as growthdriven Jupiter reshuffles your social circles. Don’t ditch your true-blue crew, of course, but be aware of who you’re spending the most time with—and make sure they lift you up instead of dragging you down. You might get more involved in your community, perhaps even dabbling in politics or activism (that is, if you don’t already). Since the eleventh house rules the virtual realm, you may connect with like-minded people online. With entrepreneurial Jupiter here, this is a great time to boost your social media presence or to invest in a web-based business. The holidays could be one non-stop celebration this year, an opportunity to network and blow off steam. You might have a career coup to celebrate. Why not do it by hosting the party of the millennium, in true Aquarius style?

Saturn in Capricorn: Going deep, doing the inner work. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Time to explore your inner landscape? Grab your headlamp—there’s a lot of terrain to cover. For the next three years, structured Saturn, the planet of maturity, hard work and foundation building, will move through Capricorn and your healing twelfth house. You may crave more solitude or time off the grid, perhaps to do some spiritual development or to pursue an artistic endeavor. This could be the year for a silent vipassana retreat or to record your demo in the studio. Turn inward and adopt a slower pace. It will be hard during this busy year, but you’ll need to consciously set limits and take breaks. The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Saturn is your co-ruler and you’re strongly affected by its movements. Saturn’s last visit to Capricorn was from 1988 to 1991. If you’re old enough to remember that far back, you might recall a similar time of emotional or spiritual development. The twelfth house is the final portion of the zodiac wheel. It’s the realm of endings and closure, and with Saturn here, you may experience some heavy transitions. Do parts of your life feel outmoded? You could do the hard work of letting them fall away. If you’ve experienced a loss, this may be a period of reflection and mourning. As the saying goes, you’ve got to feel it to heal it—there’s no skimming the surface or sweeping things under the rug now. The twelfth house governs supportive people and guardian angels. Surround yourself with a wise tribe that can hold the space for you. Has a relationship, job or lifestyle run its course? Tough Saturn will push you to get real about that. Like a cosmic Marie Kondo, the tidy taskmaster planet demands that you part ways with anything that doesn’t “spark joy.” But there’s a legitimate reason to clean house this year, Water Bearer. You’re sorting out what you’d like to bring into the next big chapter of your life! That will officially begin in March 2020, when Saturn shifts into Aquarius for the first time since 1993 and kicks off a new 29-year cycle. Major? You bet. Saturn won’t fully settle into Aquarius until December 2020, but you’ll get your first taste of it from March to July of 2020.

Some of these could be buried pretty far down in your psyche and might even stem back to early childhood. It will take some excavating. The twelfth house rules the subconscious, and in addition to “talk therapy” you might try meditation, sound healing or hypnosis to reach into those hard-to-access regions of mind and memory. With Saturn in this karmic sector, you could try a past-life regression or talk to a reputable medium. As an experimental Aquarius, you’re probably no stranger to the world of “energy healing.” But don’t expect to just lie down with a crystal on each chakra while some pseudoshaman “aligns” you. Nope. Saturn will ask you to participate in the process of your own inner work. The twelfth house can be persistent with its messaging when Saturn rolls through. You’ll palpably feel any imbalances in your body if some part of your life is “off.” Denial can manifest as health challenges that force you to confront these hard issues. If you’re struggling with any sort of addiction, this Saturn cycle can be a powerful recovery period. Your devoted efforts—guided by well-vetted professionals and practitioners—can root out blocks you didn’t realize were there. Maybe these show up as anxieties and irrational phobias. They could be recurring patterns: You always attract the same toxic type of friend or boss or romantic

partner. Or, you experience health issues that are clearly a mind-body-spirit connection. For clues, look to where in your life you feel helpless, or you wonder, “Why does this always happen to me?” Welcome to your blind spots, Aquarius. We all have them, and it’s time to examine yours. The silver lining? You’ll emerge on the other side with rocksolid inner strength and self-awareness. This is highlighted by the concurrent presence of Pluto, which is also in Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. The god of the underworld is taking a long, slow and seismic boat ride across your personal River Styx. Much like the Loch Ness monster, some parts of your “shadow” side have broken the surface and offered a fleeting view of themselves. But were these sightings real…or just your imagination playing tricks on you? Saturn, the ruler of all things terrestrial and tangible, ensures that these hidden parts of yourself will rise above sea level and properly introduce themselves. At times, you’ll have to get into murky waters—but the plunge won’t be quite as far. As buried treasures and traumas surface, be sure to have the proper support systems in place (we can’t say this too many times).

You have a people-pleasing side that wants to keep everyone happy, even if it’s at your own expense. 2018 has important lessons in store about the difference between empowering and enabling. Cut those codependent cords now. While Saturn rules boundaries, the twelfth house dissolves borders. This combination is a bit of a paradox (much like everything else this year!). How can you set limits with people while still maintaining intimate ties? That will be your Gordian knot to unravel. This Saturn cycle will teach you that compassion doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your own needs or letting people walk all over you. If a few lopsided relationships fall away, good riddance! Don’t rush to fill up the blank spaces with new people and activities. The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to carve out time for solitude and serenity. This could be a rich creative or spiritual cycle. If you’re a professional healer, you might open a practice, earn a certification or become a recognized leader in your field. Artists could garner public acclaim after toiling away at their craft. You might seek representation by a gallery, agent or producer—someone who can add polish or put you in front of a bigger audience. Do your part by setting up a sleek website or an online portfolio, so people can understand the depth and breadth of your work.

Uranus in Taurus: Home and family changes. May 15, 2018–April 26, 2026 “Not all who wander are lost,” wrote J.R.R. Tolkien. But hey, so what if they are? A period of both inner and outer reinvention begins on May 15, when changemaker Uranus moves into Taurus. This eight-year cycle will shake up your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. Between now and April 26, 2026, you could embrace a new way of life, relocate, or undergo changes in your family structure such as a birth or an adoption. Maybe you’ll become an empty nester and experience your own “second youth.” Uranus is your ruling planet and you’re affected by its transits more than any other sign. The celestial side-spinner is driven by a thirst for change, progress, revolution. That seems like it would be a no-brainer for your adventurous personality. But while Aquarius is naturally nomadic, you’re also one of the four “fixed” signs, and you crave security. In between your worldly expeditions, you need to return to a stable home base. A paradox? Sure, but that’s how you roll.

AQUARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

With such changeable energies in your home sector, putting down roots could be challenging. Just when you start to get comfortable, circumstances and people come along to upend your plans. Uranus rules surprises, and your personal life will be full of them. You may have a rotating cast of roommates— from relatives going through transitions to exchange students to fascinating friends who introduce you to new ways of seeing the world (from the comfort of your couch). A gifted but eccentric child may enter your life. Since Uranus rules technology, you might decide to start an online business from home to give yourself more flexibility. Emotions you’ve suppressed may come up now, and if you try to stuff them down, erratic Uranus could even make you accident-prone until you deal. Since the fourth house rules women and mothers, there might be changes with a maternal figure. An unconventional woman could be a big influence, opening your mind and heart to new ideas. You may get involved in feminist activism or championing the rights of women and children. Uranus only visits each sign every 84 years, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime cycle. Since March 2011, Uranus has been in Aries and your third house of communication, neighborhoods and social circles. You’re already known for keeping a colorful cast of characters around you, but this last Uranus cycle brought significant shifts in the people you call friends. Uranus will turn retrograde from August 7, 2018 until January 6, 2019, backing into Aries for one last hurrah from November 6, 2018 until March 7, 2019. This is one final push to revolutionize your message and connect with quirky kindred spirits, both online and in real-time. Then, Uranus will The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Balancing relationships and self. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Relationship revolution: incoming! Four of this year’s five eclipses will touch down on the Leo/ Aquarius axis, sweeping through your first house of self (governed by Aquarius) and your seventh house of relationships (ruled by Leo). These are part of a two-year eclipse series happening from February 2017 to January 2019 that will retool the balance between “me” and “we.” When is it time to be a team player, and when should you focus on Numero Uno? These eclipses help you strike the right balance. New partnerships, both business and romantic, could be on the horizon in January and August, when eclipses in Leo bring hallmark changes to your interpersonal sector. Eclipses can serve up sudden changes—people and situations are ushered rapidly into and out of our lives. For some Aquarians, these two eclipses might deliver “make it or break it” moments. A commitment may be tested or you’ll get a sudden offer to team up with a powerful collaborator. Romantically, some couples will catapult into official territory—and rather quickly! (Dash to City Hall, anyone?) For others, these eclipses could bring a sudden split or a push off the fence if you’ve been sweeping an issue under the rug. February and July put the spotlight directly on your individual needs and endeavors. Eclipses in ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

AQUARIUS 2018 HOROSCOPE

Aquarius will ignite your first house of self and appearances. You could surprise the world with anything from a revamped personal style to an assertive new attitude. You might break away from confining people and situations now—though be aware that eclipses can make us impulsive. Still, the energy may be too powerful to resist, and you’ll decide that you’d rather “beg forgiveness than ask permission.” The spotlight could land on you unexpectedly and a solo project might take flight. These two eclipses are your star turn, so don’t feel obligated to bring everyone else along for the ride now. Trust that you’re “enough” on your own—and go have your moment!

This one will kick off a new eclipse series falling on the Cancer/Capricorn axis between now and July 2020, which will revamp your approach to wellbeing—mind, body and soul. You might radically change your lifestyle, incorporating clean eating, meditation and regular exercise. You may get doctor’s orders to change your habits, which will ultimately be for the best. If you haven’t done checkups or age-appropriate screenings, schedule these near the July eclipse. As Benjamin Franklin said, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Managing stress will be a huge piece of this transformation, and these eclipses will teach you to delegate instead of struggling like a martyr. A new line of work, possibly related to wellness or a “green” industry, may call to you. Pets are ruled by the sixth house, and you could adopt a furry critter out of the blue now. Hey, it is the Year of the Dog in Chinese astrology, after all! u

P IS C E S F E BR UA RY 1 8- MA RCH 2 0

The Highlights LOVE

Freedom is your aphrodisiac! The last two years had a heavy relationship focus with Jupiter in your commitment houses. You may have gotten serious with one special person or parted ways with a longtime love. Maybe you spent a good amount of time supporting your mate or disappeared into a “couple bubble.” Now, you’re ready to poke your head out and see the wider world, as Jupiter soars through your globetrotting and freedom-loving ninth house. People who give you plenty of room to roam (and, ahem, breathe) are the ones you’ll keep around. Travel, learning and even starting a business together could make your heart beat faster. For single Pisces, sparks could fly with someone from another culture or country. The July 12 solar eclipse in your romance house may bring love or even a pregnancy out of the blue.

MONEY & CAREER

The weight has lifted! In December 2017, heavy Saturn finally ended a three-year trudge through your career house that challenged you to be more structured. If you weathered slowdowns or setbacks, the pace will now accelerate. You could do a complete 180 from pessimism to optimism, as new possibilities crop up all year. Bountiful Jupiter is in your enterprising ninth house until November, getting you back into blue-sky thinking. And in November, Jupiter will start a 13-month journey The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

through your career sector, which might be your luckiest professional year in over a decade. In May, unpredictable Uranus will end its seven-year run through your financial zone, making it easier to stabilize your work and money.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Fresh air, please! With worldly Jupiter in your outdoorsy ninth house, you’ll be your happiest in wide-open spaces. Combining physical activity with time in nature will make your spirit soar during this big-picture year. Four of this year’s five eclipses will touch your health and healing houses, which could inspire you to change your diet, fitness routines or lifestyle. Some Pisces will deepen their interest in spirituality or adopt a new healing practice.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Friends with benefits? (Not that kind, Pisces!) In 2018, your networking can pay off handsomely and connect you to a compatible new tribe. With ambitious Saturn in your group activity house for the next three years, be discerning about the company you keep. Seek a solid community of like-minded people who are up to big things, like you! Mid-May, unconventional Uranus moves into your social third house until 2026. Gather with kindred spirits around a common cause— and prepare to meet people who show you a whole new outlook on life. u ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

ightness returns—at last! It’s been a longish road these last two or three years, as the cosmos tested your mettle. Not only were the slow-moving outer planets trudging through tough parts of your chart, you also weathered two years of eclipses in your sign, which swept through with constant and unexpected changes. You’ve been pushed far out of your comfort zone, forced to redefine your priorities and set firmer boundaries. You’ve grown strong, resilient and clearer about your commitments. But, um, can a Fish get a break around here? It’s been a lot for your gentle soul to handle.

As if on cue, 2018 kicks off an optimistic new chapter. Lights on! Expansive Jupiter is in fellow water sign Scorpio until November 8, igniting your ninth house of travel, entrepreneurship, learning and adventure. It’s a refreshing shift from 2017, when Jupiter spent most of the year in Libra and your murky, private eighth house, plunging you into complex emotional waters. If you disappeared, mermaid-style, into the depths, we’ll see you breaking the surface again. You might even find your land legs by the end of this year. And once you do, you’ll be off and running!

PISCES 2018 HOROSCOPE

The other weight that’s off your back is Saturn, the planet of structure and challenges. From December 2014 until December 2017, Saturn jostled its way through Sagittarius and your tenth house of career, leadership and long-term plans—a transit that only happens every 28 to 30 years. This was especially rough because the ringed overlord was in a stressful and demanding square (90-degree angle) to your Sun, forcing you to be responsible and mature at all times. The tenth house rules fathers and men, and you may have clashed with a difficult male. Saturn’s tour of Sagittarius did herald professional growth, but you had to pay serious dues in the process. Some Pisces lost or changed jobs, restructured a business or struggled with a difficult authority figure. Navigating bureaucracy made it hard to find steady progress. At times, you felt like Sisyphus, the mythical martyr who pushes a boulder up a hill.   Believe it or not, the universe wasn’t singling you out for punishment. All of this struggle was designed to help you step into your own leadership and authority. After all, you might not have done so willingly. Your flowy, sometimes passive, sign isn’t always eager to embrace such an extreme level of accountability. You’re symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, one toward freedom, the other toward security. The burden of being in charge can take the wind out of your creative sails. But pointing fingers and playing the blameless “who me?” card doesn’t really suit you either. Over the past couple years, the cosmic lineup has helped some Pisces shed a victim mentality.

may now resonate with the famous lines from the poem Invictus: “I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul.” So, Captain, where do you want to set sail? With Jupiter in your worldly ninth house, you can spin the globe and set your own GPS—the farther away from “normal” the better. This is a year to start crossing items off your bucket list and adding some adventurous new items. Explore philosophical ideas and connect with inspiring people from a multitude of backgrounds. Fascinating friendships will also crop up, and you’ll find yourself in sync with a whole new tribe. Saturn is now in Capricorn and your social eleventh house until December 2020, bringing grounded and influential people into your world. This is a relatively easy Saturn cycle, and you may rise into a leadership role on a team, especially one that’s aligned around a progressive or world-changing cause. You might even decide to join a spiritual or metaphysical community, or to collaborate on an avant-garde technology venture. Revolutionary Uranus will jazz things up even more on May 15, when it starts an eight-year voyage through Taurus and your third house of communication, ideas and local action. This could bring new friendships or joint ventures with a kindred spirit. Maybe you’ll get involved in revitalizing your neighborhood and organizing for much-needed change. You might move to a new part of town, hop between cities or replace your commute by working remotely.

PISCES 2018 HOROSCOPE

“On November 8, lucky Jupiter will start at 13-month visit to Sagittarius and your professional tenth house, marking one of the most expansive career cycles you’ve had in over a decade. All of your inner work will soon pay off in worldly achievements and recognition.” This will be a welcome relief because, since 2011, Uranus has been in Aries and your second house of work and money, a period of constant financial fluctuations. It’s been hard to nail down security or stick to a budget, and you may have been hit with unexpected costs. Uranus will make one last dip into this zone from November 2018 until March 2019, but then you’ll move on to a smoother, more stable cycle. And just in time! On November 8, lucky Jupiter will start at 13-month visit to Sagittarius and your professional tenth house, marking one of the most expansive career cycles you’ve had in over a decade. All of your inner work will soon pay off in worldly achievements and recognition. Not that this is your end goal, Pisces, but you’ve got so much to offer—and it’s time the rest of the planet knew about it! With your ruler, Neptune, visiting Pisces from 2012 until 2026, you’re poised to be a voice of compassion and healing for the world. In 2018, you’ll start gathering a few more people who share this mission. All for one, and one for all!

Jupiter in Scorpio: Unfurl the sails, full speed ahead! October 10, 2017–November 8, 2018 Freedom is your calling card in 2018, as expansive Jupiter sails through Scorpio and your ninth The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

house of risk-taking, travel, higher learning and entrepreneurship. After an intense and internal 2017, Jupiter’s hosting a cosmic coming-out party that will last until November. Go big, Pisces! During this time, you’re eager to engage with the wider world, and cross-cultural connections will ignite. Global Jupiter is happy to play tour guide, introducing you to new people and ideas from a wide swath of backgrounds. Maybe you’ll collect passport stamps with dream vacations or exciting work travel. Or, your journeys will be those of the mind, as you return to school or dive into a fascinating course of study. Jupiter is the natural ruler of the ninth house, so you’re getting a double shot of this horizonbroadening energy, as it only visits this part of your chart every 12 years. Jupiter’s last run through Scorpio was from October 25, 2005 until November 23, 2006. Look back to that time: Did you take more risks? Maybe you befriended someone who, on paper, was different from you in every way. Yet, you found common ground and established a long friendship. You might see similar themes repeating. Not sure what you want to do with your life? You’ve got license to explore this year. Commune with a tribe of open-minded people from diverse backgrounds.

terrain in 2018. The saying “know thyself ” might be your guiding mantra, as philosophical Jupiter in your metaphysical ninth house could give you a whole new optimistic outlook. Even if you have a steady and structured job, the odds are good you’ll approach your work from a fresh point of view. Got a savvy startup idea? Jupiter in this enterprising zone encourages you to roll the dice. Your visionary ideas can go big now. But don’t pigeonhole yourself just yet. Devote this year to exploration instead. When Jupiter enters Sagittarius in November, you can start mapping your big ideas to a structure and plan. Until then, soak it all in! Head to conferences, festivals and events where you can connect with other seekers. Take in the stories of entrepreneurs who did it their way, rather than following the traditional scripts. You could cultivate an international audience or get “really big in Asia”— cast a wide net! Abundant Jupiter in this excessive zone can be overwhelming at times. You may find yourself with “too much of a good thing,” which admittedly, is a problem most people would love to have. But even an embarrassment of riches can be a lot to integrate into your sensitive Pisces system. While Jupiter is retrograde from March 8 to July 10, slow down and integrate all the new experiences and knowledge. If you’ve been on the road a lot, spend more time at home. Prepare for some major epiphanies and rapid inner growth! From May to August, Jupiter will travel in a close trine (120-degree angle of harmony) to your ruling planet, Neptune, which is in Pisces and your first house of self. You could get starry-eyed about The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

the authors, teachers or healers you discover, and you’ll become the unofficial evangelist for these people’s ideas. Do you feel connected enough to make this your life’s work? Consider getting certified to teach their methodology. This could also be a great time for a retreat that combines travel, service work and learning. The Jupiter-Neptune trine brings opportunities to take your own world-changing message to the masses. If you’re an artist or healer, your ideas could go viral, touching people on a deep soul level. The key is to be open and authentic, allowing yourself to be vulnerable instead of playing the untouchable guru figure. As novelist E.M. Forster wrote, “Only connect!” Building bridges rather than walls is the path to your true purpose.

Jupiter in Sagittarius: Pisces for the win! November 8, 2018–December 2, 2019 Sweet success! After Jupiter’s bohemian sojourn through Scorpio, you’re ready for big moves. And right on cue, the stars align. Your luckiest professional year in over a decade begins this November, as Jupiter starts its 13-month visit to Sagittarius and your ambitious tenth house. Unpack those “career separates” from your storage trunk and drop them off at the dry cleaner’s. The year could end with a busy schedule of interviews, lunches and black-tie events. The tenth house rules structure, authority and recognition. It sits at the very summit of the chart like a planetary penthouse—and with Jupiter in Sagittarius, you’ve got an express elevator to this ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

top-tier terrace. Don’t be surprised to find yourself in the winner’s circle, surrounded by power players and influential VIPs. With lucky and outspoken Jupiter here, you could have a golden opportunity to pitch your grand ideas, perhaps at a holiday party. A mentor or seasoned industry veteran could open doors before 2018 is through. Jupiter rules expansion and the tenth house rules structure—a paradox you’ll need to reconcile. Explore ways that commitment can actually set you free. For example, you might work at an established company, but you’ll take on a role in their “new ventures” department or a position that includes a lot of interesting travel and a flexible job description. This Jupiter cycle is ideal for “intrapraneurship”— being entrepreneurial within an existing company. If you own a business, Jupiter’s love of learning could send you to leadership conferences, workshops and exciting summits where you can network and hone your executive skills. With lucky Jupiter in this structured part of your chart, you might get an offer that convinces you to ditch your freewheeling lifestyle and flexible hours for the executive suites. You could be offered a leadership post with a fancy title and high levels of responsibility—plus a salary and benefits to match. Travel or relocation may be part of the package. If you’re a master in your field, you could receive public honors or long-overdue recognition. The tenth house governs fathers and men. Your relationship with your dad or an influential guy could go through an evolution, perhaps even a The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

few growing pains. If you’ve been locked into an unequal parent-child dynamic that no longer fits, Jupiter helps you shift to a more mutual relationship. One thing’s for sure: Your biggest goals will be a huge focus as the calendar turns. You’ll need to prioritize—not always easy for the mutable, spontaneous Pisces—in order to accomplish these dreams. That will mean saying “no” to some things so you can say “yes” to what matters most to you. In addition to a demanding work schedule, you’ll want to carve out time for personal happiness, healthy living and your loved ones. Anything else is secondary. Turning down so many “opportunities” won’t be the most comfortable thing you’ve ever done, but the payoff will be well worth it. By not scattering your energy, you’ll make serious headway on your dreams. And while you might get a twinge of FOMO (fear of missing out), soon enough, you’ll be too busy to notice. Stay focused on your primary aims. Jupiter only comes here every 12 years, and you don’t want to squander the opportunity!

Saturn in Capricorn: Gathering your tribe. December 19, 2017–December 17, 2020 Who are the people on Team Pisces? Statusdriven Saturn, the planet of responsibility and maturity, will spend the next three years cruising through Capricorn and your eleventh house of networking, technology and friendship. The people you surround yourself with play an important role now. Collaborations could get serious and you may be invited to join a high-profile joint endeavor that puts your name on the map. ©2018 Mediarology, Inc. All rights reserved.

“Author Jim Rohm famously suggested that your net worth is determined by the five people you spend the most time with. If that’s true, it might be time to audit your inner circle. Do your closest friends share your values?” Author Jim Rohm famously suggested that your net worth is determined by the five people you spend the most time with. If that’s true, it might be time to audit your inner circle. Do your closest friends share your values? Are they ambitious and self-sufficient, or are they always looking to you for encouragement and direction? You may outgrow certain ties and form new ones that are more aligned with the person you’re becoming. Cut those codependent cords and stop enabling. If a friendship is meant to last a lifetime, it might have to go through a few necessary growing pains so you can find equal footing. Another thing to examine: What kind of friend are you being? As the saying goes, your vibe attracts your tribe. If you’re constantly cancelling plans or flaking on your true-blue crew, hold yourself to higher standards of integrity. With structured Saturn here, it really is about who you know. So treat your network like the gold that it is—especially the people who’ve had your back through thick and thin. Sure you may have a totally legit-sounding excuse or (yet another) “personal emergency.” But if you’re always putting crises before connection, what kind of life is that even giving you? For most Pisces, Saturn in Capricorn will bring clarity and opportunity, rather than any tough challenges. Overall, this is a milder cycle, as Saturn The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

will form an easy sextile (60-degree angle) to your Sun sign. You’ll feel Saturn’s teachings as gentle yet persistent nudges, rather than the harsh demands this taskmaster planet can also deliver. It could be downright painless compared to Saturn’s last transit through Sagittarius and your tenth house of authority and career. From December 2014 to December 2017, Saturn was forming a tough square (90-degree angle) to your Sun. You may have felt roadblocked at every turn, or like you had to work twice as hard to get half as far. This was a time of paying your dues—or if you didn’t, of paying the piper. While Saturn was in Sagittarius, one Pisces friend became a tenured professor while another one barely worked at all. There was no taking shorcuts or skipping necessary steps of the process. Dealing with “the system” may have been one of the challenges during this last Saturn cycle. Two of the most notorious (and nefarious) Pisces examples from 2017 are Mitch McConnell and his stymied attempts to pass a draconian healthcare reform package, and Harvey Weinstein, whose decades of sexual harassment and assault were finally exposed. On the side of righteousness, Pisces musician Kesha went head-to-head with the music industry when she sued producer Dr. Luke and accused him of drugging and raping her.

If you found a platform—or already have one— heavy-hitter Saturn could now give you the clout to lead your tribe. Saturn’s last cycle was about mentors and honing your expertise. It was also about hierarchy (the domain of the status-driven tenth house). Now, Saturn in your egalitarian eleventh house emphasizes coming together instead of establishing who’s on top. You may join a pioneering collective or membership-based group where your talents can be put to widespread use. Position yourself as a trailblazer and an influencer, but put your inner fame-whore in check. Saturn in this communal zone expects you to play well with others. There’s no place for diva behavior and spotlight-grabbing now. Acknowledge your team instead and share the credit for your victories. Keep your focus on how you can serve, rather than on how an opportunity serves you. Saturn was last in Capricorn from 1988 to 1991. This time, it’s joining Pluto, which is making its once-every-250-years trek through Capricorn from 2008 to 2024. Major meetup!

unconscious and all that’s hidden in the shadows, while Saturn governs the material and tangible world. Now that they’re both in Capricorn, you could start attracting some powerful new allies, or using your innate understanding of group dynamics to bring people together. You’ll have an easier time spotting “frenemies” and weeding out those userfriendly types from your circle. The eleventh house rules technology, and Saturn can make you an online expert. Should you attract Internet fame, use the digital space to spread an important message. Social justice falls under the eleventh house’s humanitarian domain. You could become the accidental spokesperson for a cause or even enter politics. Why not you, Pisces? With your compassionate heart and ability to move people on a deep soul level, you might be the perfect champion for a world that’s sorely in need of your heart-centered leadership.

which Pisces often do—you will now express it fully, and perhaps with far-reaching effect. While you’re known to mutter snarky comments under your breath, or embed clever-yet-cryptic commentary in your social media posts, your indirect sign doesn’t always just come out and say what you think. And when you do, it can come out in a melodramatic or victim-y outpouring, which only attracts you enablers, but not the supporters you need. Well, those days of innuendo are over. Between now and April 26, 2026, shock-jock Uranus propels you to be outspoken and fearlessly authentic. Your social circle may undergo an extreme makeover, as you drift away from fake friends and embrace relationships with innovative and inspiring people. Since the third house rules neighborhoods, the humanitarian influence of Uranus could find you involved in local politics or community activism. With nomadic Uranus here, you might also develop a bohemian streak, hopping between cities or swapping homes with fellow wanderers. But no need to leave city limits for your fix! Uranus in your locally-sourced third house reveals the trailblazers and influencers who are already in your midst. Put your consummate Pisces hosting skills to work and turn your living room into a Parisian-style salon, where dynamic dialogue and avant-garde ideas come alive. Got a big idea? Your work could involve writing, teaching or media during this Uranus cycle. With your mind feeling #woke you’ll also be in search of trailblazing teachers. You might become an avid consumer of podcasts, online courses, TED talks The AstroTwins’ 2018 Planetary Planner

and webinars. Perhaps you’ll even design your own virtual class or film an online show. Although you may cycle through a few friendships with changeable Uranus here, this period will be a welcome relief from the last seven years. Since 2011, Uranus has been in Aries and your second house of work, money and security, making it hard to earn a steady paycheck or keep a firm grasp on your funds. Uranus will make one last dip into Aries from November 6, 2018 until March 7, 2019, so make sure you have a little nest egg saved up in case an unexpected expense crops up. After that, it will enter Taurus for the long haul, handing you the proverbial mic!

Eclipses in Leo & Aquarius: Spiritual and physical health. January 31, February 15, July 27, August 11 Time for an inside-out makeover? Four of this year’s five eclipses will fall on your axis of health and healing, as they touch down in Leo (your sixth house of fitness) and Aquarius (your spiritual twelfth house). These lunar lifts are part of an eclipse series running from February 2017 to January 2019, which are transforming the way you balance mind, body and soul. You’re pulled between dueling themes of control and surrender. Through these balancing eclipses, you’ll learn when to lean in and when to lean back and accept the things you can’t change. In January and August, eclipses will fall in Leo and your sixth house of health, a time to focus on fitness, lifestyle changes and following any doctor’s orders.

Maybe you’ll try a microbiome test, which can measure the health of your gut bacteria and potentially show your risk for certain diseases. Ask your physician about options like this—or others, such as a daily probiotic, food allergy testing or a low-FODMAP diet. If indeed we really are what we eat, the Leo eclipses may bring a recommended change of menu—and venue. You could be extra sensitive to chemicals in your environment, not to mention those in your skincare, beauty and cleaning products. There may be an ingredient that doesn’t agree with your system. With these eclipses touching your health houses, you may get doctor’s orders to change your lifestyle. As a Pisces, your mind-body connection is naturally strong. The saying “as within, so without” rings true for your sign, and your emotional state can strongly influence your wellbeing. If you’ve been dealing with enigmatic symptoms, delving into your psyche could yield additional clues. These eclipses call for a blend of both medical and metaphysical approaches. Lessons in surrender arrive in February and July, when eclipses in Aquarius will energize your twelfth house of rest, forgiveness and release. You could be forced to wave the white flag on an issue you’ve

been struggling with. If you’re grappling with an addiction, you may find the courage to get help or enter recovery. This might be a fruitful time for deep therapy and inner work. The twelfth house, which is ruled by Pisces, governs the subconscious. Anything from hypnosis to shamanic healing to past-life regression could shed light on stubborn blocks and help you break chronic, fear-based patterns. For artists and healers, these Aquarius eclipses may inspire a creative renaissance. At work and in your relationships, you’re also learning when to be hands-on and when to let others take the wheel. Contrary to your reputation as passive, Pisces can be pretty large and in-charge when the situation calls for it. Do you need to be more stern with people? There may be some problems this year that only you can fix, but you don’t have to do it alone! With the Leo eclipses sweeping through your sixth house of helpful people, you could hire and fire. Create savvy systems that help you stay on top of the details effectively. The two Aquarius eclipses may reveal hidden agendas or shady characters— eye-opening moments that show where you’ve relinquished a little too much control.

Cancer Solar Eclipse: Express yourself. July 12 Surprise summer lovin’? On July 12, a partial solar (new moon) eclipse falls in Cancer and your passionate fifth house, bringing an unexpected amorous awakening. Single? Be open to love today, and know that it could come when you’re not even looking. (Ophi met her husband in 2006 during an eclipse in this very same zone of her chart!) Dress up a little. Smile at people. Say “yes” to a social invitation or even a blind date. See who the universe puts in your path. For coupled Pisces, this lunation can awaken your desires. A pregnancy is possible or you could evolve into a new chapter where you express yourself more openly.

This date kicks off a two-year eclipse series falling on the Cancer/Capricorn axis. Between now and July 2020, you’ll be negotiating when to be the star and when to be the metaphorical backup dancer. Your love life and friendships might change quite dramatically, and you may become compatible with a completely different tribe. Start by unapologetically “doing you”! Since the fifth house rules self-expression, this year’s Cancer eclipse will push you to boldly speak from the heart in all areas of your life. Your creativity and talent could attract attention, so put yourself out there. This is a great day to take (or post) new headshots, upgrade your social media profiles and position yourself as an influencer. No more hiding! u
