CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)
Happy New Year, Capricorn! Let go of old goals and plant the seeds of new growth. This should be your motto this month as you move through January with a feeling of leadership and drive. You're ready to renew influential contacts and you'll leave a good impression on everyone you meet. After mid month, when a Capricorn new moon eclipse illuminates your popularity and prestige, you're going to feel better than you've felt about things in a long time. The spotlight's on you this month, Capricorn. You could encounter romance, intimacy, and compassionate thinking on a grand scale this month - so loosten up on your conservative thinking and basque in all the fun this month will bring.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
Happy New Year, Aquarius! Relationship issues linger with Mars in your seventh house. January won't be an easy month for you as Mercury (also retrograde) aligns with Mars, causing you to change your mind or patterns several times before getting it right. If there's anything you've been keeping secret, beware of blurting it out during the new moon solar eclipse mid month. It's not a good time to divulge anything then. On the 17th, Jupiter, the planet of luck, takes up residence in your money house. This is great news! Financial opportunites should abound! If you're still working on that project, finish it up and get it out there. You could be quite financially surprised with the outcome this year. As Jupiter moves out of your sign, Venus moves into it for several weeks. What a great start to the New Year!
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Happy New Year, Pisces! You can look forward to an almost magical year this year as Jupiter, the planet of luck, takes up residence in your sign mid month. In addition to this, Saturn, the planet known as The Taskmaster, has moved on to another sign, freeing you from responsibilities you had to endure during the last two years or so. Things are definitely looking up, Pisces! In January, it'll be a time for socializing and meeting new friends. You might also consider ending associations which waste your time and you should do this with a guilt-free attitude. On the 15th, when the new moon solar eclipse beams down upon us, Piscean dreams can come true. Don't waste this year by doing nothing. Magic can happen this year!
ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
Happy New Year, Aries! The month begins with a retrograde Mars, causing you to feel as if things will never get done. You'll notice this trend until mid month when you'll finally have an opportunity to gain momentum and eventually, success. This year will bring a lot of interesting circumstances into your partnership arena, as the planet Saturn is now transiting your 7th house of one-on-one relationships. Perhaps things in this area aren't moving as perfectly as you like? Or perhaps, you want to exit the relationship you're currently in but don't how how to go about it? Saturn will be opposing your sign for about 2-1/2 years, so there's no need to rush. However, you can rest assured that by the end of Saturn's run through your partnership sector, anything and everything that needed correcting will eventually work itself out. Saturn is the planet of discipline and hard work and you will earn everything you accomplish. Those of you born in March will begin to feel Saturn's stern hand this year. Remember, "partnerships" may also include a business partner, a partner on a team, your significant other, etc. In the interim, January might bring you a golden opportunity to find another job or to seek a promotion. Don't let others infringe on your time and look forward to 2010 as a year of positive growth.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)
Happy New Year, Taurus! You've been compromising for far too long now, making ends meet here and there. It's time to go after whatever it is you want and there is no better time then early January to do so. Get out there and make your aims known! The planet Jupiter is still in your 10th house of career until mid month, bringing luck in areas of career and work. The new year will bring you opportunities galore if you learn to serve your own best interest first. If this sounds selfish, it's not. You've put up with quite a bit last year, putting others first, and it's now a good time for you to put yourself first and go after those dreams you've been dreaming about for too long now. What are you waiting for? It's a new year - make it a new you, too!
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
Happy New Year, Gemini! With Jupiter, the planet of luck moving into your 10th house of career, 2010 looks like it's going to be a good year in this arena for you. If you are already a big success around the office, you may be promoted to an even higher level. And if no one has noticed you lately, perhaps you'll be overwhelmed by another job offer that appears to be too good to be true. However, don't be fooled. If another job offer comes along, or if you do get that promotion on the job, you can rest assured that you've earned it and not the other way around. As for the month of January, things could be a tad topsy-turvy as Mercury, the planet of communications, turns retrograde and makes you encounter misunderstandings, unfinished business, and incomplete schedules. After mid- month, Mercury will move direct once again and things you though impossible in December will start to materialize in a much more positive fashion after this.
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
Happy New Year, Cancer! If you managed to get through the emotional full moon eclipse on New Years Eve without coming apart at the seams, then things should go relatively easy this month. However, it's going to be a month chock full of partnership issues as the sun transits your one-on-one relationship sector - especially around the solar eclipse on the 15th! If you skated through New Years Eve without causing major relationship damage, you might have to pay the piper now. Don't tread lightly around this time, as relationship issues are serious and extremely important. It could be time for a major decision to finally take place and you'll need to be ready for it. In 2010, you'll be seeing a lot of activity around the homefront. Perhaps a major move is in order, or a new room addition is in the works? Things related to the home and family could become very important, therefore be prepared in this department, too. Advice for the month? Be patient. You'll get where you need to be if you practice this trait.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Happy New Year, Leo! With Mars currently transiting your sign, you are filled with energy and drive like never before. However, with Mercury moving in retrograde motion, everything you do will seem overly frustrating and your patience will be wearing thin. You'll feel at times as if you are trying to study Latin with a noisy marching band in the next room playing off key. Don't become overwhelmed by circumstances surrounding you this month, Leo, as the planets are simply doing their celestial thing and will move on to annoy someone else soon. Right now, all you need to do is deal with things the best way you know how and if you do, you'll be rewarded handsomely as 2010 moves forward. Don't get involved in another's problems and don't allow emotions to turn a little thing into a major issue. Better times are coming.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 23)
Happy New Year, Virgo! If you are looking for romance, you couldn't find a better year. Jupiter, the planet of luck, will be taking up residence in Pisces, your partnership zone, bringing all sorts of wonderful people into your life who will be unselfish and totally supportive of you. If you are married, it's going to be a great year for steady partnerships and all sorts of new spice might be added to the relationship in a very enticing way! The month of January opens after a full moon eclipse on New Years Eve. If you went out, you can't tell me it wasn't a pretty exciting night! Romance is still in the air until the 23rd and you'll feel really great about things in this department. Your talents and skills will be top notch this month too - and any efforts to promote yourself should be followed. It's a good month, Virgo, one where you're looking good and feeling good. Enjoy.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)
Happy New Year, Libra! In 2010, Saturn, the planet of responsibility and hard work, will be transiting the sign of Libra. This is going to force you to take responsibility and focus on matters of significance related to yourself and to others. Issues that you can't take lightly will certainly come up as Saturn moves forward in 2010. What these issues will be remains to be seen, however, you're definitely going to feel like you're taking 2 steps forward, 3 steps backwards at certain times throughout the year. If change happens, let it. Even if its unwanted change. Go with the flow so that you can free up space for all of the positive forces that destiny also has in store for you. As January begins, you might be talking about moving to another residence, or something around the house needs fixing fast. Try to avoid any and all domestic arguments and you'll come out ahead.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)
Happy New Year, Scorpo! You'll be working extremely hard this month! The planet Mars is retrograde in Leo, your house of career and achievement, and you'll feel good about experimenting with new methods that save time and money. On the other hand, when a planet goes retrograde, we lose patience at times and can become quite forgetful. The planet Mercury is also doing the retrograde dance this month, causing all sorts of communication mishaps to occur - and with Mars acting as a sidekick, you can see where things can and will go haywire. Knowing this in advance might help to keep things more organized, but don't count on perfection until late in the month. You'll be full of interesting ideas and beliefs this month, too. Get on out and share these intellectual tidbits with others.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)
Happy New Year, Sagittarius! During January, a total of 4 planets (Mercury, the Sun, Venus, and Pluto) will be cruising through your money sector. You'll want to be cautious about any and all spending, even though it will be pretty hard to do with so much celestial financial activity coming at you. Don't pile on debt and don't exaggerate your earning power. This is no time for unrealistic financial thinking. Around mid-month, Jupiter, the planet of luck, will enter your 4th sector activating things around home and family. You might move to another location, perhaps a larger place with room to grow? Or, if you are forced to move due to rough financial conditions, you will come to see that the move turns out better than you could've anticipated. You could grow discouraged at times this month, but if you don't have the money for what you need, remind yourself that restraint, not financial irresponsibility, is the key to a smart and wise economical course. You'll thank yourself in the morning.
