Intensity is forecast for 2013

2013’s gonna be a mental free-for-all!  There’s just enough edge to make the status quo intensely uncomfortable.

Monday morning, in anticipation of an ambitious New Year, Messenger Mercury moves into the house that Capricorn built, sending tried and true ideas into the unconventional flames of Uranus in Aries.

The morning's mental fog on New Year’s Day is not just a hangover.  It's blur-the-lines Neptune misting all over your intuition, leaving wonderful wisps of a dimly remembered dream.  

Expect the unexpected in 2013.

The Force of good samaritans is with you.
Here’s your horoscope for the New Year:

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)
It will still be your job to blaze new trails in 2013.  There’ll be some heavy lifting involved, but you’ll develop the willpower and drive to succeed.  It’s a year for skillful management of other people’s money and resources.  You won’t be in the mood to be dominated by others or by unjust doctrines.  It’s a year in which you’ll mature considerably and expand your capacity to love.

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)
Even if 2013 brings you affluence, you may still cling to an old pattern of insecurity unless step into a higher spiritual identity.  You have little tolerance for hypocrisy and you’re willing to guide others to the moral high ground of rigorous honesty.  You’ll bring a strong sense of responsibility to all your relationships, including a marriage that is stable and enduring.  Follow the whacky unusual roadway to express your creative impulses.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)
You are less concerned than ever about what other people think.  Zingers of truth are exchanged with your friends, opening your intuitive mind to stimulating spiritual truths.  2013 is the year of the Phoenix for you.  In your work, you’ll acquire special skills which carry serious responsibility.  Jovial good fortune blesses you with gifts through June.  Then you’ll get to unwrap them the rest of the year!  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)
An urgent sense of justice and intense reactions to unfairness, will help you break patterns of domination that have kept your spirit in chains.  You’re all about the need for constructive cooperation.  Your career takes an unusual turn.  Less routine more autonomy.  Leadership in artistic self-expression, in adding structure to business ideas, will be a creative outlet for you in 2013.  It’s a year to go your own way.

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)
Dramatic upheavals can describe the kind of changes you can expect in 2013.  On the other hand, like being on a giant roller coaster, it can be an exciting ride if you let go.  Learn to love surprises.  Keep yourself close to family, even if you feel like isolating.  Business opportunities center around real estate and contracts. You’re dedicated to your projects, even if they take time to work out.  No partial solutions will satisfy you.  

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)
It’s time to remember what’s it like to be young and carefree, which means 2013 is your break for freedom from carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.  Give yourself over to the creative genius of childlike wonder, it will regenerate your life. You have your characteristic CEO genius for methodicalness working for you in the areas of publishing and communications.  You’ll have a more visible, public role this year.

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)
Your concept of what constitutes a family, of what it means to feel safe in an unsafe world, will revolutionize your way of being in relationships.  For 2013, you’re remodeling your domestic situation.  Looking for roots, deep ones of your own making. Ambition and hard work really pay off for you monetarily this year.  Opportunities to travel, even in your own mind, lead to surprise connections.  Expect profound spiritual experiences, epiphanies!  

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)
Your work will be so supercharged in 2013 that you’ll be forced to change your mind about how you spend your time.  Is it healing?  Does it have heart and meaning?  You want to be of service to our troubled world.  Rarely have you had such single-minded, purposeful action.  Serious Saturn is in your sign all year, so make friends with his insistence on good orderly direction.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)
Your natural adventurous optimism makes you perfect for a leadership role in 2013.  Get involved in the overflowing lava of heated debates, personal and political.  You must find creative, unusual ways to allocate your resources.  You’ll enjoy working behind the scenes of successful charitable organizations.  Get a fresh, positive and loving look at your self worth.  Blocks dissolve, you embrace your muse.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)
You’ve finished “Self-awareness 101” and though intense, it has given you a stronger will for mind over matter.  Spirit over ego.  A change of residence, or something in the home, may come suddenly in 2013.  You have a natural meet and greet with people who can be influential in advancing your career.  Good health and improvements in your surroundings and work environment are ahead this year.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)
Profound insight, even clairvoyance, characterize your growing edge in 2013.  You’re remodeling your unconscious mind.  Meditation and depth psychology help you sort the wealth of intuitive information you’ve picking up from the collective conscious mind. You’ll take the role of authority when leadership in matters of moral integrity is needed.  You have faced the “dark side” and come out of the experience with something to say that will benefit others.

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)
It’s not a year to gamble, except on your unusual talents.  Money may slip through your hands, but you’ll make lots of it.  You’ll attract powerful friends, who’ll bring opportunities, very likely in teaching and publishing.  You’d like to help advance the healing interests of a group.  Visionary Neptune is in your sign all year, so you let yourself be inspired by your own dreams--then you’ll use your experiences to teach others.
