Jupiter is considered similar to Santa in astrology as it is a giver of good luck and gifts. Jupiter brings opportunities for growth and expansion in knowledge, understanding and life experience. Jupiter's move into Libra will affect every one of every sign positively but most growth opportunities can be seen in the house it enters in your sign. For instance, Libra will benefit the most in 2017 from this transit because Jupiter will move into their first house of self -identity, glamour and personal appearance.

During this time, you should be more careful in matters of money. The second time Mercury will retrograde from April 9 - May 3, 2017 in Taurus which is also an earth sign. Mercury will retrograde for a third time this year from August 12 - Sept 5, 2017 in earth-sign Virgo and will culminate in fire-sign Leo. The final retrograde of mercury for this year will occur from December 3 - December 22, 2017 in fire-sign Sagittarius.

The Chinese New Year 2017 of the red fire Rooster

2017 is also the year of the Fire Rooster according to Chinese astrology. Rooster has traditionally been associated with rising up with the dawn and being out- and- about and this indicates why hard work and discipline will be the key to success in the year of the fire rooster. Rooster years are governed by the fire element which will create tension and imbalance due to conflict with Metal which is the main element of the rooster. Yin (feminine) energy predominates this new cycle.

Yin years favour maintaining privacy in personal and business matters and spending time quietly with close friends and family. Rooster years are great for building the virtues of good judgement, sense of righteousness and patience. New insights can be gained in the areas of public administration and business by those who endeavour to cultivate the virtues that the Rooster holds dear. Risky ventures and impulsive investments should ideally be avoided this year. The political climate is likely to be unstable and any haste in business matters can result in failure. You'll be greeted by success if you persevere and strive to remain honest and organised to reach solutions to problems this year.

The year of the Fire rooster brings warmth in relationships and is generally a good year for new romance and weddings. This new cycle from January 28th, 2017 to 16th February, 2018 can be a productive and rewarding time for the Chinese sign of Rat, Ox (Buffalo), Snake, Goat, and Rooster. It is likely to be a moderate year for the Chinese sign of Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Horse and Pig. However, the Chinese sign of Dog and Tiger need to be a little extra careful in most aspects this year.
