(Article posted in: Horoscope )

Horoscope for the week starting January 1, 2010

 

Tip of the Week:

2010 stands to be a very pivotal year indeed! Here is a top 10 listing of events:

1.      2010 is the second decade of the New Millennium. This adds up to 3, the number of expansiveness and expression, ruled by Jupiter. Get ready for big shifts.

2.      Jupiter enters Pisces January 17. Anticipate increased spiritual interest and or religious fanaticism.

3.      Saturn forms the second of 3 squares to Pluto on February 21, both in Cardinal Signs of beginnings and action.

4.      Saturn retrograde re-enters Virgo on April 7 - the focus on new environmental laws will continue.

5.      Uranus enters Aries on May 27 = a fury of unpredictable and sudden change.

6.      June 6, Jupiter moving fast will race through Pisces to enter Aries – pioneering initiatives will coincide.

7.      Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in Aries on June 8. This mark of genius also implies accelerated, sudden and large scale change. Mass spiritual awakening is implied and perhaps migrations.

8.      Saturn will form the last of 5 opposition aspects to Uranus on July 26, but this time they will both be in Cardinal Signs – Libra and Aries respectively. A brief, singular and dynamic exchange is likely.

9.      Jupiter in Aries will square Pluto in Capricorn – both Cardinal Signs – on August 3rd stimulating extensive, eventful activity.

10.  Saturn makes its last square to Pluto on August 21 bringing completion to the changes it is destined to reveal.

PS The Full Moon on New Year’s Eve is a Lunar Eclipse.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

You will be on the march to strengthen your position in the world early this year. Obtaining new skills, tools and techniques is on your mind. Drawing upon past performances and successes in your public and professional life will prove extra important. You are determined to ascend to new heights and will take a pragmatic and serious approach.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)

Balancing a big picture perspective with the details for the sake of meeting the future with greater awareness and preparedness is on your mind. You realize that if you want to advance, and you do, you will have to be seriously committed to education and training. Changes in your self, home and lifestyle in general are implied.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

The freedom you seek are bringing about endings and vice versa.  You are in a take-command mood and this will continue for several months. Ironically, you must surrender to do what you feel you must. You are now in the middle of an important turn in the road that will lead you to new horizons; it is unlikely that you will return. Even if it hurts, trust your feelings.

Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

Changes invariably affect the status quo of our relationships. This is likely to be the case. You may wonder who you are at this stage of your journey. The time has come to lay claim to hidden treasures. You are required to face certain fears. This may include saying important things to key people. Don’t try to say it right, just speak your truth as you feel it. Yet, do commit to new ways of relating.

Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

Your focus is sharp and your tone is serious. In order to build and strengthen your foundation, it is important that you focus deliberately. Reputation does matter. How are you presenting yourself? Is there room for improvement? Do you want to obtain new tools and methods? Commit to improving your expressions. Take practical and realistic action, early in the game.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

New levels of power are on the rise for you. You are in the mood to bring forth a series of new angles of expression of your personal power. This includes better methods and to exploring new territory. Be patient with your progress. How can you know where you will need to improve if you do not first try and even fail? Begin it now!

Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

When the going gets tough, you get going. Not one to back down or to fight, unless absolutely necessary, you may feel challenged to find the right words. Yet, you are in a take command mood. With a revolutionary spirit, the time has come to embrace the changes needed. Meet one task and challenge at a time, gaining confidence with each victory, but not overconfidence.

Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

If ever there was a time to open your heart and mind, this may well be it. Don’t let pride get the better of you, yet do honour your individual needs. Outline the pros and cons on paper so they don’t just tumble around in your head and cause stress. Start your list with what you feel you need, both practically and emotionally and then what you want. Get out of your minds way and follow your heart.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

For the sake of the future, the time has come to build upon new foundations. Whatever your situation, you can do it. Be willing to give yet also ask for what you feel you need and want and for help getting it. Be willing to move on and don’t look back. Sometimes it is more important to make New Year resolutions and stick to them. “God helps those who help themselves.”

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your focus will be extra strong and sober as the New Year begins. Amidst the celebrations, you are in the mood to advance your forces. The time has come to speak your mind. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Your sights will be sharp and your ambitions strong. All the while, you will want to present a more pleasing image. Iron fist, velvet glove – an old yet effective philosophy.

Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

Ah the opportunities for inward retreat at this dark, mysterious and magical time of year. Yet, maintaining a positive attitude can be extra challenging at this time. The simple depravity of sunshine can cause depression. The light of knowledge can be the key to inspiring illuminations and extra important to and for you now. Learn to love, accept and embrace more deeply and more fully.

 

 Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Making new connections implies letting go of old associations. This may be occurring socially but also mentally as well, without and within. A metamorphosis of your consciousness is underway. This may prove challenging unless you are willing to cooperate with the process. You are also about to enter an expansive cycle. Avoid resistance or it could be your waist line that expands. Work with the process for success.
