Opportunities
abound for makeovers of your image, personal
relationships and career this year. Eclipses of
the Sun on March 18 and the Moon on Aug. 28,
both in your sign, give you a fresh perspective
on yourself that can stimulate a change in
appearance and will almost certainly provoke a
shift of attitude, hopefully toward a bolder,
more spirited you. Let go of overly self-protective
patterns, and express your power, individuality
and desires more freely now. Meet fear and
contraction with daring action by expanding your
bubble of thoughts. No matter how grave the
situation, there are always options. Naturally,
your relationships will be affected by your
transformation, opening up opportunities to
deepen a current connection or to discover a new
one. Since you're not standing still, it's
likely that you will expect anyone you're with
to be growing, too. Eclipses of the Moon on
March 3 and the Sun on Sept. 11 in your 7th
House of Partnerships underscore the need to
reexamine the agreements, spoken and unspoken,
that you have with others, to either update the
arrangements or put them out to pasture.
Confident Jupiter
in Sagittarius is spurring you on to greater
heights in your professional and public life by
transiting your 10th House of Career. The
potential for advancing your position is
considerable, but your challenge is to be more
assertive in going after the brass ring of
success. Fiery Sagittarius is a sign of
salesmanship that will reward you when you're
willing to open your mouth and speak up for
yourself. If it is difficult for you to
promote your own skills and accomplishments and
honor the work that you are doing, think of your
good intentions and the service you provide to
others. Jupiter makes high-energy squares with
electric Uranus on Jan. 22, May 10 and Oct. 9,
stirring restlessness that might shake up your
job situation. Impulsive reactions may cause you
to quit, lash out at the boss or finally start a
business of your own. Sometimes it takes a shock
to get moving, which is fine, but keep your wits
about you to avoid jumping from the frying pan
into the fire.
Serious Saturn is
spending much of the year in your 6th House of
Health, Work and Daily Routines, a transit that
calls for more discipline and maturity in these
areas. Yet Saturn in expressive Leo until Sept.
2 instructs you to add more creativity to your
life on a regular basis. Hobbies or interests
that enable you to stretch your artistic talents
should be highly rewarding. Be patient in
developing these gifts, however, since
beginner's frustration will be conquered with
experience. Saturn opposes your ruling planet
Neptune on Feb. 28 and June 25 to complete a
process that began late last August. These can
be periods in which you lose sight of your
boundaries and wear yourself out emotionally or
physically. Take private time to relax,
recuperate and pamper your self. Treating
yourself with tender, loving care is an
admirable act, not a selfish one. Respecting
your own vulnerabilities and acknowledging your
needs honor your heart and your soul.
