| Your astrological year runs from September 2008 through to September 2009. However, to understand just where you are now and how life will pan out over the next twelve months, it’s important to look a little further ahead and at the cosmic events of the following October, when for the first time since 1983 Saturn returns to your sign. This planet has a tough reputation and is connected with asperity, limitations, complications, restrictions and a serious outlook. However, it also brings permanence, solidity and lasting achievements within your grasp, providing you are willing to focus on issues like hard work, commitment, perseverance and the dedicated pursuit of your main aims. Remember then, Saturn’s movement is not something to fear. While letting go of the past is hard, there are many factors around you now that would benefit from improvement. Each planet has a set of associations known to astrologers as either strong, weak, problematic or more beneficial when it occupies a particular sign. Saturn in your constellation is called an exaltation, a favourable position where the principles of natural justice are expressed constructively by a sign that’s known for seeking balance. Thus Saturn into Libra is not bad news and is an inevitable outcome every three decades regardless, so 2009/2010 marks the tentative beginnings of a new phase, as one cycle concludes while another begins. You’ll be happiest trying to understand this process and to view things from this perspective if you can. |

| But what should you expect from this year exactly? Well, you’ll already have noticed that over recent months, many features of your everyday life have started to change. Interests you had previously no longer hold the same appeal, while activities that took up lots of time and energy either don’t demand the same anymore, or have somehow faded into the background. For example, a parent with teenage children might realise they have all grown up and are moving away, so while it’s nothing more sinister than the natural progression of events, their parenting skills aren’t so much of a necessary skill as they used to be. Alternatively, a career option or course of study could conclude, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction but kicking your heels, as you are faced with more spare time than you ever had before. This same feeling can arise when friends relocate, take on commitments limiting their social life, or simply change. You are left with the impression that a major chapter has concluded and you aren’t sure what to do next… It would be sensible expecting these and similar trends to continue for the next year then. The key is staying calm and thinking from a long term angle, because resistance won’t make much difference. Try not to get worried by all these alterations, because it’s only by having gaps and spaces for something new to take root, grow and to flourish, that you’ll have the chance to enjoy it when it does. Saturn is connected with external influences and with reality, so while it probably seems like much of what takes place now has a purely external origin and is just happening to you, you might be surprised how accurately these outside events will echo things inside of you as well. Besides, you know circumstances need to alter and that’s exactly what is happening, so although you can’t see the results yet, you will come out better in the end. It’s a time to work on your life in a positive way, to think of what you’ve always wanted to do and never had the opportunity. |

| Besides once Jupiter hits Aquarius from January 2009, anything that makes you feel more alive, vital and uniquely yourself is highly recommended to shoehorn into your agenda, including whatever you do for fun, your hobbies and spare time interests, perhaps taking up a sport, visiting the gym, spending time immersed in creative pursuits or with your children if you want, maybe if you’d like to be around them more and to have them figuring prominently. Your domestic situation sees many changes too and while these won’t always be the easiest to deal with initially, you’ll realise the benefits of all that happens now in a few years time. Your close relationships witness plentiful revisions, but again this is nothing to worry over any more than you must, as those associations that have not been the happiest reach a point of resolution one way or another between February and April 2009. If your love life has been characterised mainly by heartbreak until today, Jupiter signals a very different theme is on its way for you with new opportunities and a lot more fun. You should certainly make the most of this while you can and although it may prove impossible in the end, don’t tie yourself down more swiftly than you have to, that’s for sure… | |
