HEAVENS ABOVE - 2005 - Maggie Kerr (AAT.Dip.Couns.)

General Horoscopes for 2005 Maggie Kerr AAT

ARIES Wind in your hair and wings on your heels is an image to describe the huge openings and new discoveries on offer for you this year, as rarely have so many planets conspired to light up your vistas in many a year. International flavours here for you business or travel kids, whilst for the sporty or athletic Rams there is much success on offer, and for all of you, the chance to expand your ideas and ideals to inspire your life from here. Learning, knowledge, publishing and writing are also options for many, but the caution (yes oh impulsive ones!) is to keep your home fires burning and a firm grip on what's real and appropriate, as family duties will still call until July. Learn to turn any frustration and aggression into “healthy assertiveness” to offset health implications to your immune and nervous system.

TAURUS Things of “worth and value” hold the key to your essence dear Bulls and this year you have the chance to really develop both of these in direct proportion to your input, plus connections with other people and their resources. So it's a team or family effort which involves expansion into new enterprises or empowering yourself with information and ideas which ‘modernise' your thoughts and pull you out of old outmoded ideas or ruts, both physically and mentally! There are major changes around involvement with your kids and friends, and if these sudden shifts include “rebellion” or separation then just be aware that it is a reflection of your own need to free up your creativity and invite the new and innovative! Health-wise take care of your liver and kidneys by curbing the urge to overindulge… Rats!!

GEMINI Lucky you like a bit of stimulation ‘cause there's plenty to come with career and home front areas holding quite a charge in the year ahead. If circumstances disrupt or unsettle you then recognise your opportunity to free yourself from characteristics you no longer need. If you're overly dependant on others either personally or through business then independence is needed… conversely if you're the no commitment type, then that could be all about to change. Partners will bring much growth and meaning to your life (plus the odd curved ball!) and generally the little grey cells are in fine form with creative ideas and solutions on offer. Possible futures now also offer leadership potential, and children are an important focus; for some a new baby puts joyous icing on the cake.

CANCER After re-inventing yourself for the past few rather trying years, 2005 sets the scene for major advances in both work and health areas with educational and/or international action on the cards. Dare to completely renovate your ideas now and join the revolution…you know, faith trust, optimism and all that, along with information which brings you up to speed. Communication lines will be flowing well and you'll experience greater emotional balance if you speak your mind…which by the way is still being overhauled to allow possibilities the old you would never have considered. There's expansion on the home scene with family in positive and optimistic mode, renovations or a new home, and after July the pressure cools in the responsibility department…whew…a new 28 year cycle is almost in place!

LEO With 4 big planets in your creative sector it's hard not to imagine a year of high adventure as you explore new facets of your potential. You'll be spreading the word and sharing your knowledge with renewed enthusiasm and from mid year as Saturn enters your sign for 2 years you'll be challenged to strengthen your nature and learn the gentle art of self authority and responsibility. Limelight is a distinct possibility here so Lions who've worked hard in recent years with little applause or adulation may find they no longer “need” it and know how to stay humble…thus more effective than ever! New connections bring you into a group or organisation which offers fresh financial ideas to empower your future outcomes… remain vigilant though and avoid get rich schemes…knowledge is the key now.

LIBRA So this is your big year lovely ones as Jupiter in your sign comes a callin' bestowing his new beginnings and varied opportunities, and his contact with other heavenly bits suggests a big learning curve. Now there's 2 possible streams here; one is highly artistic and creative so you designer types will have a field day freshly inspired and daring to play in this next “art nouveau” phase (i.e. new art!) The other is “higher education” or venturing into philosophies and ideals which open new meaning or add to your skills kit. It's a time when you can think and expand in “big” ways so got for it. Romance is a feature too as idealistic Neptune offers new relationships where you can bring your ideals into reality – all good as long as you also maintain individuality and don't play “please them to get loved” old scripts!

SCORPIO Learning to manage your world in these revolutionary times is your focus this year and you need to embrace another phase of your transformation for this to occur, so integrating new concepts and philosophies is imperative now! Any attempts to control people or things from here simply won't work so apply your willpower to your own self growth. Your creative sector is highlighted with a compelling need to break free and express eccentricities you've had locked up forever, and as this area also affects kids some surprising new developments here too. Four planets in your “worth and value” sector impel an expanding attitude and information re: money, but more importantly urge actions which increase your self worth, so community service or team projects and/or a pro-active political goal fit here.

SAGITTARIUS These could be described as high impact stars for your 2005 growth with 4 planets in your sign leaping into life and taking you with them. Only prob is figuring out room for family and career areas when you'd really like to just take off and say what the hell. Indeed some of you may, or events or others will conspire to challenge your current structures and goals in quite unexpected and quirky ways. You've been on a big learning curve the past few years and perhaps now you're ready to wrap up your package of knowledge and begin to teach or share it around. Friendships and group focus is highlighted until October and financial outcomes can be great if you deal with the organizational bits you normally tend to avoid!! Watch your impatience and a tendency to impulsiveness without looking before you leap!

CAPRICORN After these last few hard working responsible years you'll be pleased to hear that 2005 offers more balance in your life especially if you make that an objective by using spiritual knowledge and practices which you may have thought a bit “cosmic” up until now – you'll be amazed at the shift in your attitude if you do this! Meanwhile Jupiter's once in 12 year entrance into your career sector signals positive growth which may include public relations/promotions/training or simply scoring the job you've always wanted. The point is to grab it all with both hands and thoroughly enjoy yourself. New financial and investment options are opening now too, and international travel for both business and pleasure. Finally…big changes around home matters which may disrupt, but ultimately be very positive in outcome.

AQUARIUS Well you kids are off and away after a quiet 2004 preparing the turf for the hugely expanding time to come. You're about to embark on a whirlwind year of expansion and travel; of both mental and physical kinds. You've always been ahead of your time and lately you're feeling less out of sorts about this and simply ready to accept that your eccentric and revolutionary ideas set you apart just a tad. So it's time to write that book or course so you can pass on those ideas which the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with! There is now accord possible between the inner and outer you with potential to ground your results if you stay focused. New information empowers you with innovative ways of using and managing your resources and stay open to group and team projects which excite and inspire.

PISCES Well after all the signals and clues in 2004 that life is about to change big time you won't be too shocked when it actually starts happening in 05. It's hard to imagine you'll be in the same place doing the same thing by year end, but if you are you'll sure be doing it differently. A big break or sudden career advancement is possible and it feels “risky”… going beyond the normal frameworks or promoting something really different you have to offer…you get the idea. Meanwhile partnerships will require greater autonomy and freedom so if either party is unsafe or holding on too tight adjustment is needed to allow more liberated ideas about what “union” really means. Jupiter's 12 month stint in your resource sector will bring joint projects with other peoples' money or inspiration.

A Word About Mercury Retrograde

Three times a year the planet of communication, networking and information goes “retrograde” and increasingly everyday folks are becoming aware just how important these times are and what NOT to attempt to do while he's going backward. You'll be amazed how much frustration you can alleviate if you simply don't attempt to get things moving while these phases are active. Computers and phone go awry and mail goes missing…etc so these are great phases to take holidays or time out and work behind the scenes planning and organising your life, and then initiating outcomes ONCE MERCURY GOES DIRECT! Do not buy electrical appliances, cars, catch planes and so on, and especially don't sign contracts or attempt to gain legal outcomes (courts etc).

A very simple rule of thumb which will save you time, money and your sanity!
