The sun and moon tick off the passage of time like the hands of a clock. The sun is the hour hand clicking through each of the twelve zodiac signs. The moon is the minute hand ticking off the days with each monthly orbit around Earth.
The spring equinox marks the point that the sun leaves spiritual Pisces and enters the action-sign of Aries. For the northern hemisphere, the days from this point onward begin to grow longer than the nights. This is essentially the first day of the year. Sap rises up the trees, buds burst into life, leaves paint the forest green, birds build their nests and bees dip their toes in newly born blossoms.
Write down a list of your wishes for this year ahead. Set your goals. Plan out your strategy. March forward with the yang energy of the sun like Ramses of ancient Egypt. Go out and conquer the world like Alexander the Great. The sun, known as Apollo in ancient times, illuminates your search for fulfilment. You are not some random loose bolt knocking around in the machinery of life. You were born to fulfil an important mission. You are the center of the Universe. Life revolves around you. We all depend on you to do what you came into this world to do.
Aries
Self-doubt and pessimism have a way of insidiously creeping into our daily stream of thoughts with debilitating results. It’s crucial to recognize this when it occurs and weed these thoughts out. Failure to do so undermines your personal power and ability to influence the direction of events. This coming year promises to be an amazing experience provided that you diligently scrutinize your thought patterns. Proceed with a bold heart and an intrepid spirit. Past disappointments will fade like the morning mist in the hot summer sun. The universe is ushering you through a golden gateway into an era of great happiness.
Taurus
Pining over lost opportunities or admonishing yourself for bad decisions are counterproductive indulgences. The truth is that greatness is born out of failure. They are blessings in disguise. You’ve learned much through your experiences – good and bad, so much so, that you have acquired the wisdom to make wise and judicious choices. This will come in handy at certain critical junctions through this next year. Your passion and determination will propel you through any and every barrier that rises up to challenge you. In this ground-changing year ahead, you will steer your life towards the land of your dreams.

You are here to accomplish great things. There is no time waste. To achieve victory, you must be bold and courageous. With that determined Eye of the Tiger, you will find victory, foster emotional happiness and take hold of material prosperity. You can have it all.
Cancer
The time of exciting change is here. Throw out the old rule book that has governed your life up until now.

It’s time now to bask in the golden light of sunny good fortune. A new world is opening up that will lead to a life of elation and joy.
Leo
Apollo, the Sun, has heard your call for assistance. He’s issued an edict to Athena and Mercury/Hermes to the effect that you must get all the celestial help required to get you on the fast track to success. The fiery energy of the sun will inspire you with the will to win and the passion to make it to the summit of your dreams. A halcyon breeze has already begun to stir the sails on your ship. It’s sending you towards the destination you came into this life to find. This will not be some brief escape from difficulties. It clearly has the hallmarks of something huge. It will be long-lasting, profound and sublimely meaningful.
Virgo
Ancient civilizations were connected with a creative source that is beyond the comprehension of today’s consciousness. They were not hindered by the hubris of the rational mind. Down deep within your unconscious there resides a benevolent spiritual source that is ready to guide and protect you. No state-of-the-art engineering can part rivers, move mountains or build pyramids more effectively than that source. You may not build a pyramid this year, but let’s not preclude that possibility. The stars indicate that there is no limit to what you can accomplish as long as you believe in the benevolent source of this universe.
Libra
An exciting shift in your perception is unfolding. It’s subtle, but life-changing. It’s life-changing because it’s leading to you to view life in the vibrant colours of high definition. It will lead to the realization that you’ve been hitherto viewing everything in muted sepia tones. Encouraging developments will boost your confidence and inspire your sense of self. They will fast-track you to success. Your intuitive abilities are swinging into gear and giving you the clarity needed to make decisive and judicious choices in your quest to reach a heartfelt goal.

You’ll be surprised and pleased with the gifts that this benevolent universe bestows upon you. There are plenty of valid reasons to feel hopeful and exultant about what is to come.
Sagittarius
Life is never perfect. Such is the way of life here on Earth. Perfection is an ideal. It’s what we all strive for, that is, if we haven’t given up – and we mustn’t do that. It is imperative to continue striving for the best. Success is dependent on not indulging our thoughts on all that is wrong. We must appreciate and be thankful for all that is good. If you want your garden to thrive, you must water the roses, not the weeds. Your own personal magic star is with you at all times. In this next lucky year of your life, you’ll learn what it means to be the master of your destiny.

Under normal circumstances the best we can do is to get glimpses of what’s ahead, but in this great year ahead you’ll do better. The universe is always testing your resolve, resilience and mettle. By relishing your challenges and being inspired by them, the gods will forewarn you of trouble and guide you to victory. Your courage will be rewarded. This year ahead will prove to be a truly gratifying turning point.
