Yours is the first sign of the zodiac and you’re ruled by Mars, so patience isn’t a virtue you’re traditionally keen on cultivating. Fortunately then, your 2009/2010 astrological year promises to be action packed with developments in several important areas including your ambitions, your work and career if these are big factors for you, your relationships on a social and also a more intimate basis, plus how well you understand what drives you, what you need from life and what you want to do with your future on an increasingly private and inner level at the same time.
It seems incongruous, but despite everything that’s going on, the year from your birthday in 2009 through to the same point in 2010 really is one of preparation though, with even greater potential later during 2010 and beyond. This is when both Jupiter and Uranus hit your sign for the first time in over ten years for the former, seventy-five years for latter and since 1928 for both of them passing through your constellation together. That’s around eighty-two years since this last happened and to give you some perspective, was way back when the first scheduled television programmes started to appear, a very long while ago. Hopefully this will give you an idea of the once in a lifetime opportunities that are on their way now, when despite the major events of your coming year, it’s still nothing compared to what is on the agenda subsequently. |

The planet Uranus brings lots of exciting events after a lengthy period when it has seemed life was getting far too predictable. Jupiter ensures your luck is in and that most of what happens will be for the best, providing you watch the usual provisos where this expansive planet is concerned, like showing a little caution and keeping your feet somewhere near the ground. You will not have experienced a period with so many opportunities before and things will go your way much more than they have done for ages. Plus the prevailing atmosphere will suit you better than it has for almost longer than you can remember. If you’re old enough and seeking a return to those halcyon days of years back, this is it then, before it seems the worries of the world descended on your shoulders and decided they weren’t going anywhere fast. In the meantime this coming year has plenty to occupy you, so with the theme of preparation very much in mind, the twelve months ahead promises to be a time when you find yourself pushed increasingly to the fore.
Since late 2007, you’ve been struggling to get something off the ground, probably without the results you’ve wanted or as quickly as you’d like. Typically this would be connected with your work and career affairs and could represent a radical departure from what you’ve done previously. Probably a worst case scenario would see you plodding away at something you’re not ideally suited to, for the sake of security, your existing responsibilities, harmony or to maintain your income. Sooner or later things will have to change and you’d be wisest working towards this, trying to make a difference as maybe you’re doing already. Though obstacles are plentiful and progress slow you must try to persist with what you envisage. Expect concrete results from late October, though still haltingly at first and meantime don’t run yourself ragged skipping meals, existing on catnaps, not getting any sort of exercise and otherwise generally neglecting the realities of your health needs. |

It could be current events don’t have a career emphasis, but focus more on your wider ambitions and on what you hope to get from your life. Happiness, fulfilment and personal satisfaction are all significant criteria, so if you don’t see as much of any of these as you’d like, this year you’ll be thinking of the best ways to improve matters. Similarly, if your job leaves you miserable and exhausted at the end of the day, there isn’t a salary in the universe that can compensate for this detrimental impact. Some quite fundamental alterations could be in the stars, both this year and in those coming, but you’ll no doubt be happier once they’ve happened and can even hasten this process along if you prefer.
Finally then your relationships, on a superficial and personal level too. Friendships largely look good, after a few disappointments that lead you on to better outcomes anyway. You enjoy mixing and mingling, learn a lot from your acquaintances and have some generous allies, who do what they can to ensure you receive your share. Privately, matters are more intense, so you can be sure close contacts that no longer fit in with where you’re heading, will be severely tested later on this year. New people also arrive on the scene, though it is definitely a case of quality not quantity. Important liaisons coalesce on a romantic level, as those who were just friends now progress on to something deeper… |
