A Look Back: 2006 Astrology Forecast

How Did Your Year Turn Out?

As 2006 comes to an end it's time to look back and see what your 2006 Horoscope had predicted.

The world felt as if it was spinning backward in 2006! That's because serious Saturn and optimistic Jupiter were reversing their usual roles. Play could've become your most important work ... and even the darkest clouds could've held your highest hopes. Sounds strange, I know. But with Saturn -- the hardest working planet in the astrology business -- in playful Leo, fun became job No. 1. So did you make sure that your inner child got plenty of time to express itself in 2006?

By contrast, jovial Jupiter was deep in Scorpio's underground lab in 2006, where it showed us how to turn losses into gains and obstacles into opportunities. On the romantic front, the emotional gold of increased self-confidence and a deeper sense of what you want were ready to be mined from past relationship failures. Frustrations with your job could've lead to the discovery of undeveloped talents. Did you use these talents to move ahead, either in your current job or by choosing a new career path?

Other planetary influences played out in different ways for each of the signs. Find your sign below to read about some of the general trends of 2006 for your sign. Then get your 2007 Forecast; get ready for a great year ahead!

Aries 2006 Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)
Original ideas are awesome, Aries ... but if you have too many, they just blow away like dust in the wind. This year you'll find the commitment to turn your creative impulses into reality by taking a personal dream and making it real. Make sure you don't let lazy teammates distract you with their fantasies when you have the power to make one of your own come true. Aries 2007 Horoscope

Taurus 2006 Horoscope (April 20 - May 20)
Be brave, dear Bull, and don't let intense feelings run you away from an important relationship this year. That passionate, mysterious person who's pushing your buttons isn't out to make a fool out of you. He or she is simply willing to go further, deeper and faster than you've ever gone before. Go along for the ride.Taurus 2007 Horoscope

Gemini 2006 Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)
Faith is a beautiful thing, Gemini, but backing it up with facts and a strong presentation will get your message across louder and clearer this year. It's not just the words you say that count but the passion and authority you put into them. Attitude counts in a big way when it comes to getting the attention and respect that you desire and deserve. Gemini 2007 Horoscope

Cancer 2006 Horoscope (June 21 - July 22)
Big, bold Jupiter will be rolling through your house of drama and romance this year -- that's your sign to take center stage every chance you get. It's not your sweet smile, cozy manner and handmade apple pie that will light up your life but a little more flash and sass that you're ready to show. If you don't feel as if you're going too far this year, you're probably not going far enough. Cancer 2007 Horoscope

Leo 2006 Horoscope (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Don't let a drowning friend take you down for the count. Putting yourself first isn't an act of selfishness this year ... it's an act of survival. You've got some serious work to do to reshape your image so you can make your mark in a new environment. The needs of others deserve consideration -- you've got too big a heart to ignore them -- but attention to your own needs is your No. 1 job. Leo 2007 Horoscope

Virgo 2006 Horoscope (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
Logic is a beautiful thing, Virgo, but all the reason in the world may not float your boat this year. Communication isn't about the words, or even about the ideas ... it's about the feelings behind them. Get into your gut whenever you've got something important to say ... and you'll be sure to get your words into the head of the listener. Your passion sends a powerful message now. Virgo 2007 Horoscope

Libra 2006 Horoscope (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)
You're such a responsible friend and member of the team that you could wear yourself out finishing the work others leave undone this year. It's nice to be nice, of course, but in all fairness to yourself, make sure that they do their part too. This will free you to explore your own dreams and fantasies, instead of staying stuck in someone else's reality. Libra 2007 Horoscope

Scorpio 2006 Horoscope (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)
Jupiter's in your sign, Scorpio, making you bigger and badder than ever (in a good way, of course). This is your year to step out of survival mode, knock down the walls of your old routine and open up a wider view of the horizon. If you aim high instead of playing it safe, even the most unlikely bets on your happiness can come through as winners now. Scorpio 2007 Horoscope

Sagittarius 2006 Horoscope (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)
Intuition is one of your gifts, Sagittarius. Back it up with some hard work and you can turn from a seer into a doer this year. There's more reward in making a small piece of your dream real now ... so pull yourself out of your endless fantasyland of possibilities. Take a tiny slice of your idea of heaven, plant it in your daily routine, water with commitment and watch it grow. Sagittarius 2007 Horoscope

Capricorn 2006 Horoscope (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)
You can't carry the load alone, Capricorn. Sure, it can be hard to trust that other people will do the job as well as you can, but that's a risk you'll have to take. If you want to move up the ladder of success, you won't be able to hold the bottom steady while you climb to the top. Loyal friends and strong teammates are essential to reaching your goals now. Capricorn 2007 Horoscope

Aquarius 2006 Horoscope (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)
There's a thin line between being aloof and being alone. You're usually a cool customer who needs a good deal of personal space, so you may feel crowded by others this year. But if you try to keep your distance you can weaken an old relationship or miss out on the opportunity of creating a new one. Adapt and adjust if you want to stay connected. Aquarius 2007 Horoscope

Pisces 2006 Horoscope (Feb. 19 - March 20)
You are allowed to break the rules now, Pisces ... especially your little secret rules that no one else knows about. Yes, you might feel embarrassed when you cross the lines you've drawn, but doing so will be more fruitful than harmful. There's no need to whisper or get out of the way this year. Your great gift is to wake us up by showing us the depth of your feelings. Pisces 2007 Horoscope
