Cancer 2017 year ahead

This is a very important time to focus on yourself. It is an important period financially. Seems like your financial situation is complex as you are personally doing very well, however it looks like your business or the company you are involved in may have some financial issues. Resources from your business or career may be unstable currently and this may be creating some issues for you personally. It looks like you are hiding some of your personal financial resources – perhaps you don’t want others to know how well you are doing financially. There is lots of activity happening behind the scenes – financially and with regards some personal relationships.

There is tension in the chart between yourself and your partner. Looks like this relationship is good and stable but perhaps there is some secret connection that you are engaged in behind the scenes. Be mindful that this love connection may lead to your own downfall if pursued for any length of time. Are you prepared to risk your relationship for a fling?

Home life is good – but financial pressure may be making things uncomfortable for you at the moment. It seems like you need to get a handle on financial matters. Time to be honest with yourself on many levels.

Gemini 2017 year ahead

Your focus at this time is your children and your relationship. You are very busy dealing with the needs of your children and the demands of family life. You perhaps feel pulled in different directions as you try to deal with everything at the moment. It looks like things may be a bit disruptive on the home front. It may be time to move. Perhaps a big move which demands much change – this would be very appropriate.

You are very involved in the school routine. It is good to be focussed on those relationships that are near and dear to you – siblings, neighbours, school connections. But there may be some issues that need to be resolved.

You are torn between managing your career and the needs of the children/family. Resources are a focus and so work is a necessity at this stage.

There is no point in working all the time and feeling stressed. You need to make a plan to have some fun with your family too – partner and children.

A trip abroad would be great – is there an issue at work that makes this difficult or with the school? Travel with siblings? Could be some issues making this happen. An adventure would be a good thing right now no matter how tricky to organise.

Taurus 2017 year ahead

Your focus is your home and family at this time. Much of your energy is focused on your children and you may be frustrated managing the needs of the family together with what you want to achieve personally. It would be wise to make time to expend energy on yourself too! Make time for exercise or stimulating creative pursuits. You need to actively be engaged in something that brings you pleasure. It is going to be hard managing these demands.

Make sure …you are taking care of yourself and your own emotional requirements together with your needs within your relationship. Stand in your own power. Time to assert yourself. It is an excellent time to look at your personal goals and aspirations. Where do you want to be in your life and where is your career taking you? This is an excellent time to look at any opportunities and take advantage of any changes or growth opportunities that come your way.

Relationships with siblings are very rewarding at this time. So too your connections with your local community and neighbours. You feel very blessed in this regard.

Mercury Retrograde – May 2017

Mercury is once again retrograde from 10 April to 3 May 2017. This can be an irritating time with computer issues, miscommunication, misunderstandings and general problems when dealing with any contractual issues. There may very well be delays and it would be useful in this period to do your homework and make sure you have all the information you require. You may find that things crop up that you did not expect and as new information comes to light, different decisions need to be made and taken.
Travel disruptions could also be an issue. Make sure all travel documentation is in order. Check details – re check!

South Africa 2017 year ahead – Aries Ingress

This year the focus will be on Government, Parliament, the opposition parties, foreign policy and the economy.

Conflict is a big theme in this chart. The President is fighting for his life in Parliament. Parliament is in conflict with the President. The opposition are at war with the President. There is conflict all around and nobody is happy. Relationships are strained and there is a general level of dissatisfaction is all spheres of government. The opposition are concerned about our image in the world and they are very much with the people of SA in being concerned about the situation in government and foreign policy issues. The opposition parties need to work with the people of SA to highlight the structural problems in our economy and foreign policy.

There are likely to be disruptions in government and these will take the opposition parties by surprise. But they will also give impetus to opposition parties to tackle the problems in government head on. It is going to be a rocky road with many ups and downs and many surprises too. It describes that certain unpredictable issues could present themselves in government and the issues and consequences may not be what was expected.

The youth and the education system need to be treated as a matter of urgency and priority by Parliament, but it looks like things get stuck here and no action takes affect.

The focus of SA is on Government. President Zuma seems emboldened and will forge ahead with his own plans.

The people of SA are very concerned about foreign policy issues. The people of SA are concerned about our debt situation with other countries. Is this appropriate in the long run – these relationships? The people of SA are also very concerned about the economic outlook of the SA economy especially in the long run. There is a tightening of the economy and the long term prospects are foreboding. Foreign debt is a real concern for all. The people of SA are holding onto the fact that the judiciary can save the day.

Aries 2017 year ahead

This is an important year from a career or business perspective.
There are some issues at work that need to be addressed. There may be some relationships that are challenging at the moment and there are some financial issues that you need to resolve. You may feel undervalued at work. Make sure your expectations are realistic. You want to be more creative in your role and want to find more joy in the work that you do. This is causing tension in your world… at this time. It is perhaps time to take a risk financially. You are likely to be rewarded financially if you do.

Your career may need to change as your commitments to your children increase. You may need to redefine your career direction taking these factors into account.

It is a good time to focus on your relationship and the commitment you have to your partner and your financial needs and commitments within this relationship. Some things may need to change and you both need to agree on what those changes will be. There are important implications financially at this time.

You may feel like you are taking strain with your friends. Perhaps it is time to be bold and find some new friendships.

Pisces 2017 year ahead

As usual you are dreaming about far flung places! Your desire to spread your wings is ever present during this year.

It seems like you need to focus on your career and your direction in life. This is an excellent time to look at the financial rewards from your business or career. Your are very determined right now to be more successful financially. This is an excellent time to use this energy in a positive direction. It is also a very good time to focus on your network and make this work for you financially. You may need to take a few risks. You may need to be bold in your decision making. But now is the time. The big issue that you need to resolve is to use your creative talents in your business/career and make sure you are adequately rewarded. This is where there may be some discomfort – what you like to do does not pay as you would like. It is now time to decide how you want to manage this issue.

Your kids are very busy and this creates busy-ness for you too. Is there something that your children inspire in you from a business perspective? You would like your work to be fun and pay the bills. Is this possible right now? Your children’s needs are demanding financially.

Your relationship needs some emotional support right now too. It may not be an easy period for your partner and your relationship. He or she may be under emotional strain at this time which impacts on your emotional well-being too.

It is important that you and your partner focus on the long term financial commitments you share. These may require changes in your business or career as you make a commitment to meet your financial obligations.

Friendship is a big theme this year too.

Solar Annular Eclipse 26 Feb 2017 and the economic implications for South Africa

This eclipse takes place at 8 degrees Pisces conjunct Saturn in the SA chart – 27 April 1994. In the SA chart it relates to all financial matters affecting SA. This would include the nation’s assets and financial status, the treasury, revenue services, banks and financial institutions, the stock exchange, money markets and trade and exports.

This does not look like a positive situation for the S…A economy and all matters financial. It focuses on the institutions and those holding positions of authority in this sector. Does this relate to a downgrade to junk status by the ratings agencies? Does the Rand take a pounding in the money markets? What are the implications at SARS and the Treasury? Both these institutions have been in the spotlight – one could argue for the wrong reasons. A dark cloud hangs over SARS and the ‘rouge unit’ narrative. The Treasury under Pravin Gordon have been under enormous pressure just doing their job. There has been pressure to continue to bail out the State Owned Enterprises. We know that President Zuma and Finance Minister Gordon have been at war with each other and the scandals related to the Gupta family and the State Capture report by the previous Public Protector. Both Zuma and Gordon are experiencing a Uranus conjunction to their Sun. This has created a very unpredictable period for both these men. The key periods were early May and end Oct 2016 and we know what happened at end Oct last year. The final crunch period occurs at end Feb 2017. We can expect fireworks again. This will happen at the same time as this solar annular eclipse on 26 Feb 2017.

It all points to the fact that the economy and those involved in leadership positions in our economy will be under great pressure. Things do not look positive for the SA economy in 2017 and this eclipse highlights the issues at stake. The growth rate in the SA economy is around 2% and this is not strong enough to reduce unemployment which is sitting at around 27% currently.

We need to focus on structural reform in our economy and the long term implications of any decisions taken. All decisions made will effect our image in the world and the long term prospects of the SA economy in the global arena. There is also a link between our economy and secret enemies of the nation at home and abroad. We can only hope that these elements are exposed at this time.

This eclipse is part of the Saros Series 19 South. This family of eclipses is associated with an element of pleasant surprise and a lucky break. Eclipses are felt more strongly where they are visible and this eclipse will travel through South America and West and Southern Africa. A partial eclipse will be visible in SA.

Aquarius 2017 year ahead

You are in a positive space this year. Your focus is your work, career and your direction in life. A focus too is your daily routine. Your work is going really well and this is a good time to apply yourself and get positive results. It may very well be time to look at your opportunities and make some changes. Perhaps you do not feel that you are being rewarded adequately for your efforts. It may be time to assert yourself in this regard.

It seems lik…e there is tension in your life with regards a relationship. You may experience a rocky period going forward. The chart describes the situation as unstable and unpredictable. You need to decide if this is a relationship that works for you. Your work could very well be causing problems – perhaps you are spending too much time at work. This may be causing issues in your relationship.

If you are currently not involved in a relationship you may be surprised and meet someone unexpectedly. Things could develop quicker than you expect. You may be taken by surprise and whisked off your feet. The romancing process may not be comfortable for you. Make sure you don’t lose your sense of self in the process.

Make time for some light relief. You will need a change from just work and the daily grind. It is important to get involved in creative or sporty activities.

You may be finding it hard balancing the work/home/children aspect of your life. This may be causing conflict in your relationship too. It is time to make decisions that work for you. You are likely to find your children more challenging than usual in the year ahead. It may be time to make some changes at home too. It may seem traumatic at the moment but the chart shows that the changes are more than likely to improve the situation in the end.

South Africa 1st Quarter 2017

The people of SA are focussed on parliament. We are in difficult place as a country. Things are described as unstable and unpredictable currently. Strikes and riots are a very real possibility. Our country needs a shake-up. We need to reinvent ourselves. We appear to be looking at new opportunities when it comes to foreign relations. It seems like our President spends most of his time this period traveling abroad. The government is focussed on the higher education sector and needs to come up with long term sustainable plans to stave off this instability in our country.

The point in the chart which represents government is conjunct Facies a very destructive star. This does not bode well for the government of the day and President Zuma. This star is associated with blindness, eye sight problems, sudden death and violence. Facies is associated with focus and in some cases the ruthless pursuit of goals. It can also be associated with cruelty and war. This star was prominent in Hitler’s chart, also Margaret Thatcher.

The media are a thorn in the side of government. Government seem intent on setting the agenda and continues to fuel news with propaganda. The media will find it difficult to uncover the truth. There are powerful influences within government deliberately abusing the power of the media and its influence. The police and military appear to be abusing their power and influence too. This is worrisome if state power is abused to suppress. The workers want government to deal with issues they face in the work place. Workers are also sick and tired of those in power abusing their positions and influence. Workers are undecided if they are with government or not. The jury is out. There could be a split in the ruling party with labour finding a new home. Generally transport and telecommunications are a real concern.

The youth are focussed on higher education and taking the president/government to task on this matter. It seems like other foreign countries have a great deal of influence on/in Parliament and equally Parliament is looking abroad for answers and support. Parliament is very focussed on the our financial status, the banks and treasury. It is working hard to convince foreigners to invest in our country. There is interest from foreign countries in matters dealing with land, farming and mining.

Corruption and lies are a theme in the first quarter and we may find it hard to uncover the truth. Can we trust our relationships with other foreign countries? Do we fully understand the nature of these dealings? The welfare institution like prisons and hospitals are under enormous pressure and the institutional integrity is dissolving before our eyes. These institutions are literally and figuratively falling apart. Substance abuse is rife is prisons and these folks are totally disillusioned.

What we also need to factor is during this quarter is that in 2016 the leadership of the ANC came under enormous pressure with Pluto conjunct Sun (Feb/June and Dec 2016). In addition Zuma and Gordon were both in difficult and unpredictable territory with Uranus conjunct Sun in their birth charts (May/Oct 2016 and Feb 2017). This cycle is not yet complete for both Zuma and Gordon and it remains to be seen what transpires in Feb 2017 when this cycle completes. But we can expect some wild and crazy times towards end Feb 2017 again. Uranus is an unpredictable planet and does things quickly, takes one by surprise and often pulls the carpet from under our feet. Although we don’t have birth times for either Zuma or Gordon the sun is symbolic of your identity and as leaders we can expect some dramatic changes in this period.
