Horoscope for the week beginning Dec. 30
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Goodbye 2016 and hello 2017!
A Universal 1-year is about to begin. Number one not only looks like but also behaves like a rocket. The year leading up to it, in this case 2016, can be likened to the launch pad including all the complexities that come with it. At this point, ignition has occurred and the countdown is on. At the metaphor goes, 2017 will be about getting through all the layers of the atmosphere. Yes, one is a very pioneering number indeed. The New Moon on December 28 can be recognized as the final closing of the gates and all attention is now directed to the official launch.
Beyond the usual ingresses into new signs by the minor planets, three very significant astrological events will occur over the course of 2017: The Lunar Nodes will shift from Pisces in the South and Virgo on the North end to Aquarius and Leo on May 9. Then on October 10, Jupiter will enter Scorpio and then on December 20 Saturn will finally exit Sagittarius completing a long three-year cycle and will enter Capricorn, its own sign. Leo, Scorpio and Capricorn are the three power signs so we can expect that 2017 will be a powerful year comprised of significant new beginnings.
This Horoscope will provide a sneak preview for what each Zodiac sign can expect over the course of 2017. Happy New Year!

Dec. 30 – Jan. 6
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
At this turn of the New Year you find yourself in a somewhat serious mood. A growing determination to realize yet another level of power is featured. To this end, expanding your social outreach and scope of influence is now and will continue to guide your choices. However, affairs close to home will lead you to dig deep as well.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
The flow of change that has so significantly produced changes within you and your circumstances over the past couple of years will continue in 2017. Feeling as confident about it all as much as you would like will require ongoing adaptation. Generally, these changes probably feel good and right, yet the current of change remains strong.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A big question on your mind as 2016 draws to a close is: to whom and to what do you feel committed? Artistic pursuits and cultural activities are especially favoured. Opportunities to break through to entirely new levels of success will be part of the plot in as much as you feel committed and you persevere.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Achieving a new level of health will continue as an important theme of focus in 2017. Doing whatever you can to feel increasingly confident will prove important. In the short term, you are wise to decipher if, why and how you do not feel as healthy as you can. The emphasis could actually be on the health of your occupational status.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
A steady learning curve will continue throughout 2017. Diversity is another keyword. The danger of losing focus and getting scattered will remain as well. Positively, you will be able to learn a lot and on a variety of fronts. In 2016 you were pushed out of your comfort zone and by June you will be on a roll.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
A direct confrontation with the fears that stand in the way of your dreams was big in 2016 and will continue in 2017. The balancing act is between your need to make money and in a manner that meets with your creative aspirations. In some respects, the entire process can be recognized as a spiritual one, a fulfillment of destiny. Yet, it requires that you recognize and overcome your illusions as well.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
The steep learning curve based on the urge to take new initiatives to broaden your horizons that began in 2016 will prevail throughout much of 2017. Fortunately, your drive and will to do whatever it takes is active now as the year gets underway. However, you do have to clearly decipher this next phase of your destiny and build upon new foundations.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Dreams of possibility continue to dance in your mind. You are excited by the prospects yet may feel daunted by the scope of investments implied. It is likely that you have already begun to pay your dues. What form these took and are taking now probably includes will, courage, discipline, time and money.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Looking back a few years, so much has changed. What a few years ago was a veritable nightmare, you have by now entered new territory and feel optimistic about it. Whether you have or not, the same core theme will continue in 2017. Success will require that you increase your social outreach and be willing to listen and learn.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
What began in late 2016 might be described as recording over the old programming. The result is that what used to be is and will continue to dissolve as the new rushes in. By the end of 2017 much will have changed and this momentum will have actually accelerated. Balancing a spirit of surrender and conscious cooperation is extra important.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Returns for prior efforts will continue throughout 2017. Inspirations to take new leads to be the producer, director and actor in your own show are featured. If you can take such a leap this year then make every effort to follow through. If you do not, you may find yourself having to wait for a few years longer.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
2017 will prove to be very important for you. In some respects it could be described as a time of cashing in all your chips. Earnings and achievements from many years prior are yours to capitalize upon. The push to do so already began late in 2016 and will continue throughout most of 2017. Decipher what constitutes ‘the work’ and do it.
