Your year starts with a bang, largely as a consequence of two outer planets, joining forces in your region of the sky for the first time in years. Jupiter has been boosting your prospects since January, while Uranus entered the fray earlier in March, making this the first visit since 1999 for the larger gas giant and since 1935 for the smaller one. Add in a further three and even four planets, in various combinations at different times between March and May, reinforcing an alignment that is unusual in itself, to get some idea about the significance of this configuration.
In fact, Jupiter and Uranus stopped by far more recently than a passing look at their customary orbits might suggest. Uranus in effect, carried out some exploratory reconnaissance between May and August of 2010, before being joined subsequently by Jupiter from June through until September. The two met exactly on June 8, but didn’t have the backing of half the remaining solar system then. Nevertheless, the events of these few months may have acted as a milder, introductory prelude to what the cosmos now has in store. By this stage, those born under different stars might be growing nervous, but you have never felt reluctant about rising to a challenge. After the banalities that seem to have featured for ages, the promise of more stimulating circumstances is something you will anticipate eagerly rather than doubt, distrust or fear. |

Jupiter is great news especially and brings good luck, broadened horizons, enlightening contacts from different backgrounds with plenty to teach you, travel and education on a formal or informal basis, abundance and success into your immediate orbit. The only downside is extravagance and overindulgence, which doesn’t just mean in food and drink, though these are two common scenarios.
Over-optimism, an overestimation of your talents and abilities, a bombastic and insensitive attitude, rash decisions around money and a failure to plan properly are all frequent outcomes you need to be careful about. With such a powerful emphasis on your patch of the heavens, you must try to maintain a degree of circumspection, before permitting your natural enthusiasm to get the better of you.
Especially where others are concerned, an individual who has already established their position may offer firm and helpful backing, providing a solid and stable launch pad from which you can advance, based on your own initiative and skills. Some though will be less than thrilled to see things finally taking off, so expect your adversaries to eye you intently, ready to pounce at the first sign of a mistake. With everything you have shoehorned in, there isn’t room for a wider social network either, so while a tightly knit cohort of those who matter most to you remains a central feature of your everyday, others that have ceased to play such a pivotal role grow more distant as time passes. Social and perhaps romantic relationships are both affected, the latter inclined to bear the brunt if your personal relationships cannot develop too, or if these prove unsympathetic to your aims.
Professionally you may need to take a little care, because it is one thing seeming capable and in control, even to intimidate a section of your colleagues with your forceful capabilities, but another giving your superiors the impression you have no respect for their authority, or even that you’re after their job. |

Be courteous and diplomatic at all times then, bearing in mind those who appear overtly hostile, are not necessarily the people you should be watching most carefully. Even when it seems you have might and probably right on your side, not everyone is so audacious or brave as you. Influential people can easily gather additional support, among those fearful for their own security and anxious about future safeguards.
Nevertheless, so long as you are careful, this should be a great year for almost anything you direct your energies towards. The precise details need filling in along the way, because Jupiter rules only the broadest brushstrokes, while Uranus governs the unexpected and once you start to anticipate that, it is by definition no longer so surprising anymore. The overall theme where all your ambitions are concerned is of moving up several gears, while at the same time feeling happier and more confident that the world is a stage on which you can express yourself. The responsibility is yours to discover the nature of your inner being and how you can nurture this properly, but an improving financial situation from June onwards, accompanied by promising employment trends from November and especially around February and March 2012, put the attainment of your perfect situation and becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be, increasingly within your grasp. |
