2009 Horoscopes for each Sign

ARIES                     With transformer Pluto now firmly in residence in your worldly goals/results sector you begin a new 16 year phase offering you the chance to really express your highest potential as the warrior activator of the Zodiac. Your job is to fearlessly strike out into fresh territory as the pioneer of new models in commerce and enterprise so brush off your sword and put on your magical helmet! Conflict is however, not part of the deal here kids…rather conscious actions that allow for co-operative activity with others.  From here on you are not alone but rather the leader who invites others to join you. With expansive Jupiter joining loads of planets in your team/community sector there will be no shortage of interesting people and ideas to fire you along in your fresh ambitions. As Saturn completes his passage in Virgo through your daily work area until November, continue to carefully manage and re-organise your world to prepare the ground for the major launch into 2010 when your 2009 initialisation will begin to really take off.

As Uranus opposes Saturn in February and September be alert for innovative developments in your work and systems areas, and allow for what may appear to be disruptive influences, but will in fact bring necessary changes you may not have had on the agenda.

TAURUS                 So my earthy friends how do you feel about a big dose of change coming your way in the year ahead?  Creating space for a whole new attitude and set of philosophies may be needed before you can jump on the train heading for your new life, so to this end empowering Pluto now enters your visionary 9th house paving the way for new educational growth, travel and adventures and generally renovating your old way of seeing yourself in the world.  Just remember attempts to hang onto the same old ‘status’ will just mean you miss out on so very much that is coming into your ‘field of experience’.  As progressive Jupiter in your career sector for the year brings you his once in 12 year growth spurt, it is all about daring to strike out into a world of ideas and technology that takes you way ahead of the pack. By mid year its all systems go with an “all or nothing’ kind of flavour, but just make sure what is on offer is real and not an illusion. Saturn and Uranus continue their opposition dance in your creativity and friends/groups sectors so again there is a theme of “freedom” from old structures and limitations.  You may need to let go of old ways of parenting your kids and allow for greater scope in your own relationship to fun and risk taking.

GEMINI                   Courtesy of Saturn’s ongoing re-structuring process since late ’07 the status quo of existing home/family and career areas continues to be challenged, and with Uranus in on the act you must stay loose and remove resistance to any further things and people that may be on the way out of your life by November. Your goals and aspirations are changing so it’s time to re-direct your ambitions. Innovation is such an important word for you these days, and to this end Jupiter now joins some of his mates in your ‘beliefs and philosophies’ sector. As one of the air signs who love to grow through learning and generally being a busy body, you’re in great space for dreaming up a whole new reality this year and education in some form holds the key here. For some this means enhancing your technical skills, and for others it may be about your quest for deeper spiritual meaning  to support your life goals from here, so trips to sacred places and sitting with ‘masters’ will expand you. Pluto now enters your ‘shared resources’ sector for the next 16 years, and this promises to take you deeper into both your own and other people’s psyches to unlock the power of your creative expression both emotionally and physically.

CANCER                 You’ve had major clues since last year that your evolution involves a freshening up of how you ‘do relationships’, and now with the ‘death/re-birth’ Lord Pluto settling in for the next 16 years get ready for complete transformation in the realm of you and others. Full self responsibility involves owning our own ‘stuff’ and not projecting our issues onto others.  It also means that we must allow partners…both professional and personal… to flourish in their own power as we support each other in self realization.  So if your near ones let you know that this is not happening, you need to fess up to your own limitations and work on these, instead of trying to convince everyone else that they are the problem! So there ends the sermon!! This resonates with another major theme of growth of the last few years and that’s communication. Fears of expressing your true self must now be turned into new ways of relating your thoughts and ideas... so says Saturn, who joins Uranus in the year ahead in freeing up old beliefs to liberate your life from here. And finally let’s mention that Jupiter now spends the year in the nether realms of your unconscious nature, expanding your ability to form intimate bonds and deepen your connections with others.  Yes there is challenge in all of this but the rewards will be great! 

LEO                       Well my lion hearts you can take your finger off the hold button ‘cause life as you’ve know it is about to take a brand new turn in the road and you are so ready! Let’s start with transformer Pluto entering your daily work/health sector.  You’ve just spent 14 years finding out who you are as an authentic individual, and now it’s time to apply this fabulous self to a new field of service that will really express your innate creative expression. Think humble. Keep the ego in check and remember that it’s all about how you can serve the planet. Next comes Jupiter arriving in your relationship sector for the next 12 months. This tells us that both personal and professional partnerships will bring growth and excitement that enhances your possibilities. Single Leos will be revitalized by a marvelous sense of “yes I do want and need to be loved”, but with the Aquarian backdrop here remember “to let the winds of heaven dance between you”. In existing relationships it’s important to allow your significant others to have the space they need for growth and enjoy the buzz they bring, but remember it’s all about mirrors so their growth reflects your own urge to fly unfettered into new realms.  

VIRGO                    Yes dear conscientious ones it’s countdown time as taskmaster Saturn completes his once in 30 year passage through your sign by November. So your psyche continues to call you to order, re-order and re-organise your world; take up your authority, make like a grownup and generally position yourself for the next 30 years. In November ’08 Saturn began opposing revolutionary Uranus in your partner zone, so the forces of change will have already made their presence felt, and the keynote here is liberation from old limiting parts of your nature that you no longer need. Thus if you happen to be one of the ‘obsessive’ types then it’s time to let these old patterns morph into a more trusting ability to flow and grow, but without worrying every little thing to death! It will be through ‘others’ that further change will arrive so know that it is your own psyche at work here. Resist the urge to project blame… and own your own urge to join the revolution of these sometimes difficult but also exciting times. Expansive Jupiter arrives in your daily work area for the first time in 12 years. By mid year you’re set to jump on the wave of inspirational developments on offer in your service path. Do you have something to teach or offer others? International factors figure here also so make sure your passport is all set to go.

 
LIBRA                    Your year begins with transformer Pluto arriving in your home/family area for the next 16 years, and as this potent dude is especially powerful right from the beginning of this phase, don’t be surprised to find your making plans to buy, sell, renovate, marry, divorce, start a family… you get the idea!  Yes all manner of significant shifts on the home-front are the features of 2009. But this is not just about external reality. Pluto demands that we dig deep into our unconscious, the past, family of origin etc to find old material that is ready to die, so your emotional foundations can release the past and implant new positive beliefs that will make you a safer and more comfortable being as the years unfold. But don’t take all this too seriously as there are many fab things on offer through this process! Jupiter now enters your creative sector for the first time in 12 years, and this can mean anything from expanding your belly with new babies or increasing your ability to laugh, play and generally experience fun and recreation. Leadership is also a theme here, and by mid year as Jupiter joins Neptune for a grand connection you’ll find your inspiration bubbling with a heightened sense of purpose and meaning that sustains you for the rest of the year. 

SCORPIO                Get ready for intense encounters of the mental and verbal variety as your ruler Pluto now settles into place for the next 16 years in your communication sector. Your mandate for being on this planet is to transform the world with your ability to penetrate the deeper meaning of life, love and existence in general, and then support others in coming into their power.  So if you’re the younger variety of eagle you’ll need to begin your studies and conversations with those older and wiser, and if you are the ‘older wiser’ then it’s time to deliver your eagle knowledge to those who follow in your footsteps. A key idea here is that it is time to use your words and ideas to uplift and transform as you release your need to control others because of your own insecurities. Meanwhile the Lord of all things positive and progressive pays his once in 12 year visit to your home/family/roots sector.  Jupiter brings growth through either changes in residence or new folks arriving in your lounge-room who uplift and enhance your home and emotional life. And as karmic Lord Saturn completes his passage through your community/humanity sector by November, you continue to seek expression of your need to take responsibility for things beyond the personal “I”.

SAGITARIUS           Your ruler Jupiter now arrives in your communication sector for the year ahead signaling a return to more comfortable territory as he opens doorways to people and information that takes you forward on your journey through life. Thus all forms of learning and connection will occupy you as the year unfolds, with a high-note from May as he joins Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius. You are the ‘teacher of the Zodiac’ never happier than when sharing knowledge or exchanging ideas, so this promises to accelerate your progress as never before.  Writing, publishing, travel and adventure are all on the cards here with a theme of inspiration and healing underpinning your activities. Saturn has been hard at work in your career sector since September ’07, and continues to re-shape your goals and aspirations right through until November when he heads on into Libra. And as he now opposes revolutionary Uranus in your home/family area in February and September expect the unexpected.  Fortunately you’re an adaptable soul, so shouldn’t have too much of a problem when your current structures and outcomes are sent spinning into new directions on a moments notice. The point of these dynamic planetary features in ’09 is to liberate rigid and outmoded structures that run our planet, so embrace this in your reality and seek ways to offer your gifts in brand new ways.

CAPRICORN            So dear goats it begins. This new life of yours is now officially opening as the planet of powerful renewal comes into your sign for the next 16 years. You’ll be challenged right from the start with the need to revision and revamp your whole take on life and how you ‘do business’… personally, professionally and emotionally. And to get the ball rolling Mars joins Pluto initiating the urge to strike out into the new with a quality of bravery and daring.  So the question becomes what to do with this brave new world of yours. Well Pluto’s job in the years ahead will be to reveal the decay in our old economic and business culture, and then sew the seeds of metamorphosis for a whole new set of values that ends the cycle of exploitation of resources of every kind.  You my friends are the leaders in this process. So it’s really very simple.  Explore the new models and then get on with applying them!  The other feature of your 2009 life involves a new paradigm in your relationships.  Old ones that no longer serve you will move out and new progressive folks are comin’ on in. And lastly Jupiter enters your values and dollars sector for the year so expanding both of these is the opportunity you have on offer.

AQUARIUS             Well kids strap on your running shoes and get ready to leap out the gates on January 6th as Mr. Progress himself comes flying into your sign for the first time in 12 years.  Yes it’s your turn for fortune to smile on your endeavours and brighten up your self image, confidence and sense of joy de vie. You’ve just done a quiet 2008 as you were meant to have had a break in the cycles of life and gestate the new you. So now it’s on with the show. Implications abound here. Relationships, home/family and career areas will all receive the benefit Jove’s urge to expand and move forward, and as you are indeed the humanitarian of the Zodiac it’s obvious that you’re ready for greater influence in these amazing shifting times. Many new people and ideas will come knocking so stay alert and think only positive thoughts! By May the big connection with Neptune and Chiron arrives and you’re in splendid shape for one of the best astro goodies in your whole life… yes!! The Saturn opposition Uranus feature of ’09 continues to challenge you to re-invent your values, and how you use and interact with others and their resources. Remember any losses you encounter now are only things you no longer need… the gains will come through in due course as you make room for the new.

 
PISCES                             Your two rulers Jupiter and Neptune now spend the year “behind the scenes” in the house of all things psychological and gestative. And it’s a great thing that you’re comfortable with your own inner spaces… well you’re supposed to be! So don’t expect too much from yourself or the Universe this year, but rather enjoy the once in 12 year break on offer to allow your psyche to digest the lessons of the years, release the past and be ‘pregnant with yourself’ in preparation for your brand new phase in 2010 as Jupiter enters Pisces. This is also the time to ‘get spiritual’ in whatever form that takes for you, and you’ll also be called to compassionate service at some point, which you will of course do gladly! The Saturn Uranus opposition in February and September continues to offer liberation from old relating patterns.  You’ll feel impatient with people who appear to limit or restrict you, but remember it is your own internal process at work here and sometimes we need to “set up” someone to appear to be the agent that forces us to grow and change, so don’t be the victim or the persecutor on this one. As Pluto now enters your community consciousness sector for many years to come, it will serve your Soul purpose to open yourself to ways of becoming involved in causes and groups that motivate you and take you beyond personal concerns.
