Your Astrological Guide For 2016

Major Aspects During 2016

Slow moving Pluto and Neptune remain in Capricorn and Pisces respectively throughout 2016. Uranus, the planet of innovation, lingers in Aries. Saturn, long associated with karmic lessons, spends the entire year in Sagittarius. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and generosity, commenced the year in Virgo and ends it in Libra, going into opposition with Uranus on December 26th. Mars, denoting sexual energy and will power, travels during 2016 from late Libra through early Pisces, forming many aspects. Faster-moving Venus, Mercury, Sun and Moon also form numerous aspects during 2016.

Sun Signs

Everyone born in certain sun signs of the zodiac shares some general patterns this year, although individually significant aspects will occur variably, of course. Watch for these trends in your sun sign:

Aries

Fire-based Aries likely will experience powerful forces of change as innovative Uranus loiters in your sun sign this year. The years 2016 and 2017 could herald an important period of personal growth and transformation for you. You may witness the resolution of a stressful conflict involving money or personal freedom in December.

Taurus

The fixed earth-based Taurus sun sign possesses strong determination and perseverance. You may have encountered financial setbacks earlier in the year, when Mars passed through Scorpio opposing your Sun. The summer might offer a chance to resolve financial issues as decisions flow more easily.

Gemini

Mutable Gemini, an air-based sign, often impresses others with charming conversation and an inquisitive intellect. This challenging year will likely offer the potential to absorb important life lessons as Saturn meanders through Sagittarius in opposition to Gemini. Many Geminis will enjoy favorable changes and personal growth as a result of confronting life-lessons constructively.

Cancer

Cancer, a water-based sign influenced by the moon, frequently displays moodiness and changeability. While the transit of Uranus imposes a great test on many people with this sun sign this year, Jupiter's favorable transit offsets the hardships. You'll experience some good luck counteracting financial stresses.

Leo

The fixed fire sign of Leo often displays leadership qualities. Some people with this sun sign will enjoy a stunningly successful 2016, obtaining both good luck and unexpected, fortunate change. Favorable aspects between Saturn and Leo may signify long term results.

Virgo
