| This year you are in the cosmic spotlight, which is something you could almost certainly do without. You are one of the zodiac’s shyest, most modest and retiring signs and the influences that are coming your way are not necessarily the ones that anyone would choose. Still, if you’re prepared to look beyond the obvious and below the surface and to remember these things impact on everyone from time to time, there certainly is a constructive purpose you’ll be able to discern behind it all and use to your advantage in the end. Your year begins with a bang, when a day after the Sun enters your sign on August 23, an interlocking cross formation develops in the sky, involving first Mercury in your sign, then the Sun itself and lasting in one form or another for over two weeks. This summarises your situation as your astrological year begins and helps pinpoint the challenges you’ll be facing throughout. The other planetary protagonists in this remarkable picture are Mars, Jupiter and Uranus, while the areas of your chart that are highlighted make it hard for you to do anything, especially for yourself or in the outside world, without having the feeling that you’re neglecting other responsibilities elsewhere. |

| Partners remain as demanding as ever and while single Virgos stand a good chance of meeting the right person just when they were least anticipating it, those in a relationship already won’t really know what to expect next. Things go most smoothly if both of you give the other plenty of space and if you both feel able to do your own thing. Unfortunately this repartee proves hard to find … Your home and family situation is great in many ways and although there have been lots of changes, things are still in your favour for making a few more. Up to the middle of December is a good time to move, to sort out difficult issues with parents and relatives or to fix up where you’re living now. Influences are still helpful outside of this date, with the exception perhaps of the first half of 2008. Nonetheless, being busy at home is a distraction from more personal ambitions, because either you’re too comfortable or too preoccupied to focus on your other aims. Also certain control issues might be holding you back, perhaps with others feeling jealous or insecure about the steps you are taking and using subtle or overt tactics to distract you from your course. And this is really where the crux lies, in a life where so many things that used to no longer apply. Since 2005 Saturn has been in Leo, the sign before yours, bringing to an end much of what you used to do. Relationships of all kinds, things you did for work and for fun, have all changed and that’s lead to a new perspective on your life in general. What you believed with great conviction you’re not sure about any more, while the aims and ambitions that you valued don’t seem to have the same importance they once did. In some ways you’ve felt yourself stranded like a fish out of water, with little sense of definite purpose or a firm idea of where you’re going from here. Needless to say, this is all very disturbing for somebody usually as organised, meticulous and together as you try to be. |

| The good news then is that very soon after your new year begins, Saturn enters your sign, a position it won’t relinquish finally until 2010. Since this planet is linked with hard work, commitment, dedication and responsibility, some people are not keen on having it around. You though, have no fear of any of the things it symbolises and actually find them infinitely preferable to the nebulous uncertainty you’ve been enduring up until now. Essentially during your year ahead you are faced with the opportunity to make a new start and to discover an improved and better you. Although this won’t be easy all of the way, you can make your life a lot more satisfactory than it is today. Your success rests on extricating yourself from the situation in which you are now, where too many people have claims on your energy and time. You need to focus more intently on what you personally want to do, and should not be scared about breaking new ground either. From the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 both Jupiter and Pluto help you to escape the constraints that have bound you, although people won’t be letting go so easily and you will need to stay strong in your motivation. Nonetheless you have your own life to lead and your primary responsibility is to your own fulfilment and happiness, or at least towards a much more balanced situation than the one you’re in right now. Your love life, relationships in general and the connections you have with your children will all get a lot better when you do. Remember you can support others far more effectively, once you are feeling more completely satisfied within yourself. |
