As your astrological year begins in February 2010, you are probably reconciled to a regular round of difficulties. Obstacles and pressures have persisted for such an extended period, that despite repeatedly picking yourself up from the floor, you have begun to believe a lucky break is something other people have, while you can only anticipate more responsibility, further hard work and additional biting criticism for your efforts, despite continually trying your hardest and giving of your utmost without exception. It’s not like there’s one specific event you can blame for this situation either, it’s more the steady and cumulative impact of negative feedback, a complete lack of appreciation and as you’ve tried to make your individual mark on the wider world, one barrier after the next confronting you and that you have to struggle against.
It will come as a relief then, before your nerves overtake you, you long for the quiet life and dive for the back seat again, that throughout the coming twelve months the celestial omens shine a lot more brightly in your direction. If there is one constellation with the cream of cosmic influences this year then it’s yours, though looking further ahead than this, it only marks the beginning of larger developments and a whole new cycle that lies beyond, on a more protracted and extended scale. Everything starts a few weeks before your year commences, with Jupiter entering your sign on January 18, for the first time since 1999. Cast your mind back to the events of the year leading up to Jupiter’s departure on that occasion, how much easier life seemed and happier you were, the positive press you received and the options available… |

Though you’ve understandably reached the conclusion these halcyon days are a thing of the past, Jupiter takes twelve years to circuit the zodiac and it’s ready for another visit, with subtle differences this time around. The largest planet is also the luckiest so good fortune, success, progress and prosperity are in the stars for you now.
Jupiter is linked with education, both at school or college and in the broadest sense outside of these institutions. Other parts of the world, overseas travel, those foreign from you in terms of their background, philosophical or religious views, origins, age group or outlook are all collectively favoured and accentuated.
You can expect wherever these factors feature that circumstances will work to your benefit, especially until June 2010 and then again from September through to January 2011. This won’t be a one-way process though, you’ll discover the more you’re able to greet life with an expansive and optimistic attitude, tolerance, enthusiasm and generosity of spirit, the greater good returns to you as a result.
Don’t imagine you’ll necessarily be thrust into the limelight either if that isn’t what you want, because Jupiter has a way of bringing more of what is best for you. Still you’ll doubtless profit increasingly the more proactive you can be, so do make a point of being in the right place at the correct time whenever you can, which with everything behind you shouldn’t be that difficult. Unpredictable Uranus leaves your sign between May and August, returning for a short stay before heading off into the distant future during March 2011. This planet has been responsible for many of the upheavals you’ve experienced over the past seven years and while much of this has seen positive consequences eventually, it has often been disconcerting and overstimulating too. Its departure signals a more settled trend and while the impact then moves to your material affairs, this won’t prove such a challenge as those previous years. |

Indeed money is set to be a major focus during the months to come with improved opportunities to encourage extra cash your way, by capitalising on those Jupiter associations with a healthy dose of individualism added into the mix. Bring new technology to your working life wherever you can, for example with increasing computerisation, remote working or using the Internet. Similarly if you’re considering starting on your own business or with self-employment it’s a great period, especially around the middle of the year, when you can tentatively put out feelers and maybe take some far larger strides. Your increased confidence has plenty to do with attracting new developments into your orbit.
If this sounds frighteningly positive, is there nothing set to spoil the rosy glow? Every year you’ll see a few ups and downs and during this one, the downside rests on letting go of certain things you’ve maybe been exceptionally committed towards. It becomes clear a couple of major ambitions have not yielded the outcomes that you’d wish and that after beating your head again a wall you’d be wiser moving on, not necessarily with a sense of admitting defeat but as the most sensible move. Your options afterwards will be greater, so it’s not an event to consider as anything other than a constructive choice. A similar theme applies to your relationships, both on a friendship level and closer to home. Some after a period of trial prove worth every tribulation. Others, especially from April to July turn out more trouble than real pleasure… |
