JANUARY 2009 - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF MY VIEWERS!
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
Happy New Year, Aries! Love matters might take a back seat this month. But this is no reason to fret, as you will be occupied with tons of activity in your work/career sector and may not have much time for anything else. You won't mind this one bit because you've been itching to meet with your boss lately to discuss your career wishes and goals. Ask for that raise if you feel the timing is right. You'll never know until you try. If your boss turns you down, just hold your head high and blame it on the economy. Take solace in the fact that you have a job and do not take it personally. Better days will come. For all of us.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)
Happy New Year, Taurus! You'd love to get away and are ready and willing to hop a plane, train, or Vespa. However, it might be wiser to turn on the Travel Channel and kick back with one of those strong umbrella drinks instead. People want to be with you this month and close friendships can be a real blast. After the 23rd, things improve in a big way, so take those thoughts of finding the right career niche and follow up on them. This will be a year of job opportunities if you are looking. If not, you may want to expand your job skills by taking a course in something you've been thinking about for some time now. This month gives you a small glimpse into your future.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
Happy New Year, Gemini! The urge to change is all around you, yet you can't put your finger on what it is you want. You know it's time to clean up your act and New Years resolutions are still weighing heavily on your mind. Did you break them already? Most of us do, you know? Usually by January 5th or so. But you don't care about any of that because this time you are quite serious about taking your life in a better direction. Transformation may feel awkward at first, but don't fight it. Just roll with it and do what you think is best. This year should be easier on you from a partnership standpoint as Jupiter, the planet of luck, will be shining it's light in special ways, assisting you in cleaning up any lingering partnership issues. Moderate your enthusiasm with caution and look forward to an exciting new world that will be yours in 2009.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
Happy New Year, Cancer! Relationship matters are hot and lively this month, full of conflicts and resolutions. There is a full moon in your sign on the 10th and you'll need to be careful about what you say then. If you continue to think only of yourself, you'll never know the benefits that come from giving. You've faced some serious relationship challenges over the past year or so and you're ready to throw in the towel. Don't do it. By the 23rd, you will be able to see where you've gone wrong and what you can do about it. Someone loves you very much --and they've hung in with you through thick and thin. Do you think it's wise to toss away such a prize? Be attentive to your mate and try to see both sides. Perhaps you don't realize how great you've had it? Money issues appear bothersome around the 26th, but you'll handle this issue much better in February.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Happy New Year, Leo! You are so ready to get in shape! You want to look good, feel good, and commit to an exercise regime that will have you 5 sizes smaller by Valentine's Day. On the other hand, what good is all of this if you are still smoking and knocking back Tequila shooters every night? You can't have it both ways, Leo. Take it slow, perhaps by battling one resolution at a time. The big secret is this --"You can do it if you believe you can." January will be a good month for work activity and people in the office will be much easier to get along with. Jupiter, the planet of luck, is heading into your house of partnerships in early January, so spending quality time with your significant other will be both rewarding and pleasurable this year. How nice!
VIRGO (August 23 - September 23)
Happy New Year, Virgo! This month, love is in the air! If you're available, you'll soon find that someone else is, too. Showing your fondness for loved ones and by doing all sorts of things together this month, will assist in ingniting great feelings of passion and earth moving monumental moments. Of course, this isn't your usual style, Virgo, but if you'd just this once let yourself go and perhaps promote yourself every now and then, you may get to experience the many things that romantic novels are made of. Just imagine that? Don't be shy - give it a try.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)
Happy New Year, Libra! It's all about the home, domesticity, and family this month. Family issues that have been long buried may now come to the surface, or perhaps you will finally make that change of residence you've been talking about for several years now. You couldn't pick a better time to do so, because having so many planets in your 4th house of the home sector makes for golden opportunities at every turn, assisting your every need. On the 10th, there's a full moon in your career house. You could hear some exciting news on this day so you'll need to be ready for it. It will be an emotional day for many, so even though you are usually pretty suave, watch what you say! Jupiter, the planet of luck, will move into Aquarius in early January. Get ready for an abundance of creativity, romance, and pleasurable pursuits in 2009. It should be a good year, Libra.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)
Happy New Year, Scorpio! You must be wondering when it will ever end? All of this paperwork, so many communication issues, errands, networking, short trip and visits. Whew! It's enough to wear me out so I can imagine how you feel? Soon this shall pass and you'll be able to look forward to a great year, especially in the areas of home and domestic matters. There will be many chances to develop better relationships with those you live with, and many opportunities to get more pleasure out of your current abode by entertaining friends and family during special times. It's the simple pleasures that will make you happy this year, Scorpio. You may hear news on the 26th that may reflect on your home situation. Perhaps you want to move? Or paint the current house? 2009 is the year to do whatever makes you happy in your home, so whatever you put in, you'll get out. And as for the remainder of January, do not take on the troubles of others. It will only lessen your energy at a time when you need it most.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)
Happy New Year, Sagittarius! Money, money, money. Why does it always come down to money? How you wish you could be a bailout recipient too, but Congress hasn't knocked on your door lately and this truly irks you to no end! You feel like a cheapskate as you watch every penny and when it comes to dinner-time, you know there's only so many ways to slice that bean. Times are tough, Sag, but you've probably been through worse. Just continue to handle your money as best you can, and protect all valuables from getting lost or misplaced. After the 23rd, a little light should shine on your wallet. But this doesn't mean you are out of the woods! Use caution in all things financial this month and by February, you should be okay. Still a little broke, but okay.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)
Happy New Year, Capricorn! What a wonderful time to be a Capricorn! You are going through changes (all of them positive), you are focused and energetic, and you are ready to take on the world. The only warning sign I see for you this month happens on the 10th, when a full moon may make you highly emotional and teary - a trait not often seen in you. But as the month wears on, and for the rest of 2009, you will have Jupiter,the planet of luck, visiting your money house and opening the flood gates for many financial opportunities to come your way. So cry all you want, Capricorn, because in 2009, you'll be looking at new ways to make a lot of money and several new ways to save it, too. Not bad. Not bad at all.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
Happy New Year, Aquarius! You've been full of self doubt and discouraged about many things lately. Life does have a way sometimes of knocking us down, making it extremely difficult to get back up and pretend we're grateful for all of the crap we have to eat. However, Aquarius, this year things are going to finally look up for you. Jupiter, the planet of luck, is going to enter your sign in early January --and he's going to remain in your sign for one whole year! Pretty soon you are going to feel more confident and your enthusiasm for life will be mighty catchy. Do not allow self doubt to discourage you now. Having Jupiter to pal around with for a full year is pretty heady stuff and you won't want to waste a moment of it by wallowing away in self pity. After the 23rd, you are going to feel like a million bucks --and with Jupiter by your side, you'll feel like you can do anything. Can you?
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Happy New Year, Pisces! Friends, foremost hopes and wishes, socializing, and just plain old living it up can be all yours this month, Pisces. Big ideas are going to fly fast and furious this month and you are going to feel like you can make your dreams come true. And guess what? You probably can, as you have an explosion of planets hovering over your 11th house of hopes and wishes/social contacts and golden opportunities! This bounty will last until the 23rd and by then, you will surely welcome an opportunity to kick back and relax from such a whirlwind of non-stop activity. The month will wind down, offering a chance to find yourself spiritually through self-analysis and enlightenment. Any unanswered questions can be answered now if you dare to dig deep enough.
