2009 Aquarius Forecast

Tap into the abundance

This is a year of rare opportunity -- the spiritually active planets Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron join together three times in your sign. Expansive Jupiter, the planet of growth, opportunity and wisdom, conjuncts mystical Neptune on May 27, July 10 and December 22, connecting your heart and mind and offering you a greater vision of yourself and humanity. You are inspired by an understanding beyond words -- one that stretches from the bottom of your soul to the heights of cosmic consciousness. This perspective can make you a teacher and a leader in the pursuit of human potential. Jupiter conjuncts Chiron the Wounded Healer on May 31, July 22 and December 7, nourishing your faith with enormous compassion for yourself and others. It's a perfect antidote to intellectual arrogance, because it matches your high level of mental ability with emotional depth. Every day can be sacred now as you find meaning in the events of ordinary life, yet your challenges will not all disappear. However, even the most difficult ones will be less burdensome as you discover the magic of faith, which empowers you with a wider palette of possibilities than ever before.

The expanding perspective in your life doesn't eliminate your need to make major choices this year. Restrictive Saturn, the traditional ruler of your sign, opposes rebellious Uranus, its modern ruler, on February 5 and September 15. The stark contrast between responsibility and freedom represented by this pair first occurred on November 4, 2008 and returns on April 26, 2010 and July 26, 2010. You may be resentful of the limitations in your life and push hard against authority figures. Blaming others for your frustration is unlikely to be productive, though. Success comes from clearly defining your desires, making a plan to satisfy them and executing it with patience and precision. The rewards for following this path are well worth the self-discipline required of you now. Furthermore, strict Saturn forms tense squares with powerful Pluto on November 15, January 31, 2010 and August 21, 2010. These aspects demonstrate that you must be more purposeful if you want to maintain control over your life. Securing your professional position or discovering a new career path more suitable to your long-range interests is essential.

Eclipses in your 6th House of Daily Routines on July 21 and December 31 demand changes in your habits. These influences, lasting up to six months each, remind you that there are healthier and more efficient ways to function. Minor problems can grow into more serious complications unless you address them right away. Don't allow nagging health issues to linger if you have the means to attend to them. You're not the type to baby yourself, but self-care is critical now. Even if the usual patterns of your day-to-day existence are interrupted, it's wiser to creatively develop new modes of operation than to hold tightly to those that no longer serve your needs.
