| You’re an earth sign, because you’re known as serious and practical. You usually have a list of things to do and don’t mind being in the background where you’re able to get on with them. Your astrological year 2006/7 suited you well then, although you did at times find it maddening that nobody paid the least attention to what you said or did. Your coming year 2007/8 begins on December 22 and is very different, since you will be far more noticed now. There’ll be moments when you’ll yearn for the greater anonymity that you previously enjoyed. The big planetary influences this year are threefold. Firstly Pluto, moving into your constellation for a few months between January and June and then to stay from November 2008 onwards. This is the first time during your lifetime and in fact since 1778, when the American War of Independence was grabbing headline news. Pluto is a powerful influence and it’s with you on and off for about sixteen years, so luckily this year you have a gentle introduction, as it is moderated and ameliorated by Jupiter, that traditionally most fortunate of the planets. |

| Jupiter also moves very slowly, but is like a speeding bullet when compared to Pluto, returning to your sign for the first time since 1997 and remaining throughout 2008. In addition, there’s Mars balancing the good news and the bad news, highlighting your zone of partnerships during the last three months of 2007 and again during March and April 2008, making a total stay of around five months in an area ruling marriage, one-to-one links and all your closest connections with other people. To give you some idea, a more routine visit would usually last about two months instead. So with all this happening it’s clearly an important year for you, but how will it work exactly? Starting with Pluto, the most distant and slowest moving body regularly considered apart from the stars themselves, these effects are not a new influence in your life, but have been building for several years and impacting for a long while on your feelings inside. Pluto means endings and beginnings, the culmination of old factors and the start of new ones, so if your life looks different from the outside now as a consequence of all the changes that you’ve been through, that’s nothing compared to how it looks subjectively and to how it currently appears to you. In so many ways it’s almost as if you’re a different person, while all the things you used to believe have been ground up and then spat out, left afterwards for you to try making some sense from the mangled pieces. This is actually a positive process, although it doesn’t feel like that while it’s happening. Pluto questions, dissembles and breaks down useless habit patterns and it’s not a process that most can accede to voluntarily. In the end you’ll come up with something better, an updated perspective and a more useful set of values than you had previously. But this is not something you’ll do without prompting, so letting go of factors that you previously held to be inviolable is going to be a big deal. |

| Typical of Pluto issues are complicated situations fraught with jealousy, possessiveness, secrecy, intrigue and power struggles. Money and other possessions are regularly involved and sex often plays a major part. Those involved won’t assert themselves directly but instead use subtle and convoluted tactics to get to what they think they want. Diplomacy, tact, openness and a readiness to talk are needed, but often these are the last things that anybody considers. Digging in for the long haul is more typical and causes untold damage in a scenario where in the end, nobody is going to win. If there is one piece of advice to remember this year where your relationships are concerned, it’s not to let things reach this stage. You may think you have the upper hand, but you’d be surprised the depth of feeling a sustained disagreement can engender. You may believe it’s all over bar the shouting, but you’ll make serious enemies who won’t ever forget the things you’ve done. With a network of contacts who have watched all that has gone on, they will be ready to do you more harm in the future than you’d think. Especially with Mars impacting on all your relationships for much of the coming year, you really would be wise to take some special care. So what’s the good news, then? Well, despite the problems Pluto brings, it’s impact is far from always trouble in the end. It might seem hard to imagine but some change is even for the better and that’s especially the case with Jupiter moving on your side. Look out for opportunities to broaden your horizons and to spread your wings, to improve your financial situation rather than just to argue about it. Escape from limiting situations and encourage growth by developing new liaisons. Dealing with contacts from other countries is especially favoured, with those from different cultures, backgrounds, ages and nationalities. It is by interacting with these people particularly, that you’ll learn the most… |
