“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”

— Gloria Steinem

As we enter 2016, the planets are playing out some big dramas. We are still, for example, in the tail end of the Pluto-Uranus square, which has been a mirror for so much of the chaos on the planet these past few years: the uprisings, the violence, and the crumbling of the power structures. Since this duo has passed its peak, we can begin to look forward to less chaos and upheaval, although it won’t be until Uranus leaves Aries and moves into Taurus in 2018 that life will feel more stable. Until then it’s a case of dealing with any fallout you have experienced these past few years and working toward greater stability.

The transit of Jupiter through Virgo this year is a mixed bag. Obviously for the Virgos, this is a period of opportunity for new beginnings, and it’s very important that Virgos don’t allow fear to inhibit their dreams and desires; instead, they need to be brave in pushing forward out of their comfort zones and work toward growth.
