Prosperity Ritual
An old pagan ritual (and my only superstition), I dance sky clad (a euphemism for naked) and burn a dollar bill as a sacrifice at the Equinox's on March 20 and Sept 22. Coming from a time when it was a distinct possibility that one might not survive a harsh winter, and evoking the time-honored tradition of sacrificing something you value, you dance under the stars in the Spring at the Vernal Equinox, while burning a single dollar bill (it only takes a few seconds, and no, you don't get more if you burn a twenty). You thank God (or whatever name you call him, her, or it: "That which can create something out of nothing") for keeping you warm, safe, dry and fed through the winter while asking for a good growing season (prosperity). In the Fall at the Autumnal Equinox, you give thanks for a good summer and ask to be kept safe, warm, dry and fed through the winter. Less messy than a blood sacrifice and, not against the law like killing your first born child, it is a sacrifice (the burning making it a "pure offering") of something we value, along with the heartfelt, grateful (thank you thank you thank you thank you) acknowledgment that without God's grace and indulgence, none of us would make it to the next season. We can all use a little bit more prosperity and, after all, it couldn't hurt.
Aries
Taurus Important legal, educational or travel matters are where your energies are focused this year, with the opportunity to expand these areas coming in January, June-July and December. You can expect the help of well-placed female friends and colleagues to help you reach a brass ring – if you don’t get it by March, you are likely to be able to reach a long term hope, wish, goal or objective between September and the end of the year. You can expect restrictions and delays in the work place, with the possibility of additional duties or responsibilities without appropriate remuneration, so make sure you only accept what you can realistically expect to accomplish and know when it’s time to call a halt to being taken advantage of by coworkers or the system as the stress will impact your health and well-being. The smoldering fight at home continues until March, when it erupts into flames and demands to be dealt with by June, so see if you can accommodate someone’s out-of-joint-ego or be prepared to take to the mattresses if necessary. Single Bulls can find someone whose passion matches their ardor in April and July. Venus the planet of love opposes your sign from September through December, so examine your partnerships to see whether or not they meet your needs, and expect the universe to provide some interesting “what ifs” just to spice up those dark winter nights; just wait until December before signing any contracts that give away 50% of everything you own and gives you 100% of the liability for someone else (marriage). Mercury retrograding in your 9th house brings complications with legal or travel matters in January, your 1st house of your physical being and individual growth in April-May and in your 5th house of love and creativity in August and September.
Gemini
The resources you share with others, particularly in regard to what it is that you really need, not just want, as well as matters of extreme importance consume your energies this year, with the trick being to keep as much as you can to the point of ruthlessness if necessary in January, June and July and culminating with some kind of definitive resolution by the end of December. Professional matters go very well during the first 6 months of the year, with the sight of the brass ring coming into view during the summer, and a consolidation of your professional power coming between September and December. Legal and educational matters take a step backward during the early part of the year, with the fight being “on” from April through resolution in early June. Work and responsibilities increase in the September, but nothing much comes of it until November and December. Single Twins can find love in April and August and where they work, in November; just check the rules before plunging into something intense and passionate, and remember that is it usually the woman who gets fired for fooling around at work usually ratted out by a jealous coworker. Mercury retrogrades in your 8th house of jointly-held resources in January, in your 12th house in April and May where your own words get used against you and disrupts your 4th house of home and foundations in August and September.
Cancer
The Eclipse cycle is on your axis, and although it may appear that circumstances beyond your control are causing changes where you live, if you look closely at your life both at the January 15 and June-July eclipses, you will see that the universe is trying very hard to bring you what you need, even if you aren’t even sure that you need it. Take a hard look at the intimate one-to-one relationships in your life, including business and marriage partners, and try to evaluate which ones have a valid place in your life and which ones have outlived their usefulness and need to come to an end. The law is on your side all year, so use it to get what you need. You may get an opportunity to travel and to expand your horizons, either in a formal or informal educational setting, but either way it is preparing for a professional debut that you get hints of during the summer, but won’t actually come to fruition until the last eclipse on your axis in January 2011. Unanticipated expenses drain your coffers during the first half of the year, and you may play catch up until the year’s end. Unattached Crabs may experience a somewhat foreign or exotic flavor of love this year, particularly in May and June, but you can expect something more intense than at any time in recent memory to rock you well into the fall and early winter as Venus in Scorpio arouses passions you didn’t even know you had. Communication breakdowns in early January in your 7th house lead to partnership conflicts, 11th house brings difficulties with friends or colleagues in April and May and in your 3rd house of legal, educational or travel matters in late August through early September.
Leo
The restructuring of your work and responsibilities that began last summer continues in early January with the action being complete by June and July. Mars, planet of ego oriented expression, begins the year retrograde, in your sign so you feel like you are taking a step backward for every two you take forward. This reverses itself in mid-March, when you will find your energy levels increasing, the will to fight returning along with better opportunities for success. Just don’t fight blindly, and don’t view every challenge as though your very life was at stake and remember that sometimes you have to lose a battle in order to win the war. If a woman offers her help during this time, gratefully accept it, as she is an angel sent to save you from yourself and your enormous ego. The Money Gods smile on you all year, as you can benefit from other people’s resources, and something new may come to light that changes things in some way that allows you to regenerate your sorely tested soul. The restructuring of your day to day living that begins in January will take 2 years to complete, so take your time and build a structure you can operate within and that may include building some strategic alliances that will play out over the next 18 months or so. Don’t expect the “fair” thing to happen, but be damn grateful when the equitable thing does. Leo’s find their passions rising in January, February and July, but the deepest, most intense feelings show up in the fall and may rock to you to the core of your being, impacting your home and foundations. Miscommunication may compound your 6th house of work and responsibilities in early January, your 10th house of career and public standing in April and May and your 2nd house of money and finances in August and September.
Virgo Although it appears that the heavy hand of Saturn has finally left your sign, making everything easier for you, it does make a re-appearance in late Virgo from April through July just to remind you that nothing is free and you have to work for every single thing you get. The eclipse cycle is in your love and creativity sector, and with a little bit of help from your friends, you can expand the range of love in your life and create a new love relationship with someone either a little bit older than you or a blast from your past giving it the ol’-once-more-for-old-times-sake; or if you are attached pour your love into creating something new inside of an old relationship. You may be in demand for one reason or another, so examine all new partners with a critical eye, before settling on any new permanent structures until you are sure you are seeing things clearly by the year’s end. The clash of ego’s begun last fall, continues during the first 6 months of the year, with enemies finally stepping out into the light where you can see and dispatch them between mid-March and June. Mars enters your sign in June for the first time in 22 months, so bide your time and line up your ducks to be able to advance your own agenda during the second half of the year and remember the immortal words of the prophet Mr Joe “he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day”. Your love life rocks in January, March and August while the fall brings the opportunity to combine business, pleasure and some short distance travel, so either fly somewhere to meet someone fun or take someone fun along with you for the ride and if you can write it off your taxes as continuing education, so much the better. Miscommunications affect your 5th house of love affairs in early January, your 9th house of legal, educational or travel matters in April and May, and your 1st house of your physical and personal image in late August and September.
Libra Saturn beginning the year in your sign is an indicator that your responsibilities are likely to increase as the year progresses, so have a care with forming new structures without assessing the toll they are likely to take on your freedom of movement and remember that anything is easier to get in to than get out of. The eclipse cycle continues to rock your foundations in January, June, July and December, bringing forth issues from the depths of your being with implications ranging from a simple reorganizing of your home and possessions to a complete restructuring from the very core of your being. Work and responsibilities go well during the early part of the year, with some obstacle to your success moving out of your way between September and December clearing the way for your advancement. Medical problems have a better outcome than you fear, so deal with them immediately instead of waiting until they are out of control. Male friends and colleagues need you on their team during the first half of the year, just try to keep your ego out of things, or you will find yourself coming out on the wrong side of an outcome you helped create. You can fall in love with someone or something in January, solidify partnerships in March and advance your own interests in August and September. The Money Gods smile on you between September and December, just remember that you don’t get something for nothing and you cannot cheat an honest person. Miscommunication wreaks havoc in your 4th house of home in January, disrupts your 8th house of other people’s resources and finances in April and May and your 12th house of your own undoing using your own words against you in August and September.
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn The Eclipse cycle is in your sign all year, continuing the process begun last summer of solidifying your interpersonal relationships, and clearly identifying and maintaining your rights in the relationship, perhaps over the rights of your partner. Everything you do this year is aimed at bringing you what it is you desire, and with Pluto fully into your sign, you will stop at nothing to get whatever that is. Climbing a new professional mountain may be a two-year process, so proceed deliberately and methodically to build a good foundation and keep chipping away at it until you have achieved your objective. Educational opportunities abound and the pace of your daily living picks up dramatically along with short distance, short duration travel for business, pleasure or some combination thereof. Your finances continue to hemorrhage until early June when the spending finally stops, after which you can begin to rebuild your sorely tested resources, but it will be good for you to see how little you really need versus want. Love fills your life in January, June and July, but you really discover the richness of love in your life in the fall when confronted with a blast from your romantic past wondering if there is a spark of passion left to which you might not know the answer until Venus goes direct in December. Miscommunication and misunderstanding in your 1st house clouds your personal issues in January, the 5th house of creativity and your love life in April and May and the 9th house of legal, educational or travel matters in August and September.
Aquarius The new starts you began last year need to be incorporated into your being this year, and you will work mightily in January, June, July and December to integrate them into your life and consolidate your personal power into something everyone can benefit from. Changes in the work environment can leave you in a good position and you may find your earning ability rising as the year progresses. If offered any kind of additional training in the late spring or early summer, you should leap at it, even if it doesn’t appear that it will pay off right away – it may be a harbinger of better things to come. Mars begins the year opposing your sign and you may face challenges from friends and foes alike, with partners having the upper hand calling most of the shots and pissing you off mightily. Have a care with initiating litigation and make sure there is something more than just your ego or pride at stake, because even though the law might be on your side, the process is slow, painful and expensive and may not even be worth the effort in the long run. Love fills your days in February, April and June but can really complicate your professional life if you merge the two in the fall, so if you are unattached, make sure you check corporate rules for that kind of thing and remember that it is usually the woman who loses her job and if you are a woman reading this don’t waste your time trying to sleep your way to the middle. Mistakes and misspeaking can undermine your interests in your 12th house of your own undoing in January, your 4th house of home complicating your family life in April and May and decimate your 8th house of other people’s resources in August and September.
This is the year you find out who your real friends are and aren’t as well as what it is you really enjoy doing in life, a process that began last summer, with revelations in January, June and July resulting in absolute clarity by December. You might even be cut off from accustomed sources or income or have to make do with fewer resources but you will be surprised with how little ou really need. Older friends or colleagues can come through for you and can offer some kind of help to get you one step closer to achieving a long term hope, wish, goal or objective. Mighty Jupiter enters your sign in mid January, kicking off the best new start for you in 12 years, so after the pounding of the last two years, you finally get the break you so sorely need and can begin to pick up the pieces of your shattered dreams and get back to the business of doing whatever it is that you do best. Health issues need to be dealt with during the first half of the year, and once you get past the pride issues of admitting there is a problem, you can make short work of dealing with them. Work related issues, some pending since October, are finally resolved in May or June and you may find yourself in a much better position than you started just be sure to pick and choose your battles wisely and don’t make mountains out of molehills or create enemies out of what might have been perfectly good allies. Your passion awakens from its long slumber in January and single Fish can find someone right under their noses in February which can turn into something significant in July but can make you go as far as you need to in the fall, perhaps even to exotic places to pursue your hearts desire and you aren’t likely to show much discretion, so have a care and not make any long term commitments until after the love fog lifts in December. Legal issues go your way as the year draws to a close, but don’t expect them to show you the money until early next year. Misunderstandings in your 11th house of goals and objectives can create problems with friends or colleagues in January, in the 3rd house can compound travel, legal or educational matters in April and May but really cast a pall on your 7th house of relationships in August and September.
