January: As a result of the Eclipse on the 15th, you may find a little magic happening in your life. Watch for signs and discoveries everywhere. Someone at a distance could be troublesome now, but dreams and your intuition can be very helpful in your work with others. If you are single, this is not a good month for beginning new relationships; if will be all downhill after the 18th. After the 17th your cash flow may improve; there may be an additional source of income that becomes known to you now. Make savings a priority.

Your Power Days this month are: 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 12, 15, 17, 22, 25

Your Challenge Days are: 5, 6, 8, 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, 31

February: This could be a month during which you feel as if things are going your way. You may feel that the sudden increase in “prosperity energy” due to Venus’ transit into Pisces is proof of this. The New Moon of the 13th is really all about you; putting emphasis on your goals and wishes. The retrograde Mars may cause tribulations in your relationships for another six weeks yet, but more positive transits are outweighing the red planet. Between the 16th and the Full Moon of the 28th, you may have a chance to increase your income.

March: You may have a lucky event on the 3rd, so buy a ticket. No kidding. Good news arrives on the 7th, and Mars coming out of retrograde on the 10th could be a cause for celebration as far as your love-life goes. It may take a time before things are fully up to speed, but you will certainly know that they are back on track. The New Moon of the 15th in your house of personal wealth is the third lucky indicator appearing this month. The Full Moon of the 29th could signal fortune from travel, but Venus, on the 31st, enhances your reputation – this is a very favorable month for you.

April: Starting off with an excellent career position, this appears to be a business oriented month. Saturn’s transit of the 7th could restrain or diminish cash flow due to old conditions, such as student loans or old medical bills etc. However, the New Moon of the 14th may mark a favorable time for a mini-vacation, the next weekend sees Mercury go retrograde, and finally, on the 26th, Uranus strikes the final blow to break Saturn’s hold on your prosperity. These combinations are all about letting go and letting the unconscious part of the self do the work, like in the Law of Attraction. The Full Moon of the 28th favors the career, by the way.

May: On the 11th, Mercury comes out of retrograde, allowing you to move forward with family plans that you had to put on hold. The New Moon of the 13th is also in the career sector, acting as back-up for the smooth-talking Mercury. You’ll probably get some repairs/maintenance done in anticipation of seasonal entertaining. Venus’ transit of the 19th can increase your popularity, while Jupiter will try to “mellow” the obstacles to prosperity manifested through Saturn on the 23rd. The Full Moon of the 27th specifically targets your social life for an upgrade.

June: Expect everything about the 4th to be confusing, and for your body to be exceptionally sensitive to foods and other substances then. Jupiter enters Aries for a while this month, again encouraging travel for you. Maybe you should make a list of all the interesting local places and try to get to them all. The 7th begins a period where you need to watch your spending, but relationships are favorable most of the month. The New Moon of the 12th is favorable for social activities and events concerning children, and the Lunar Eclipse of the 26th warns not to get pulled into the conflicts of others, especially in the workplace.

July: Mercury enters the house of relationships on the 9th, taking over duty from Venus, who was there last month. You may get to actually verbalize what’s right/wrong with it thanks to the most verbal of all the planets. The Solar Eclipse of the 11th emphasizes your position in the workplace, but you may already be seeking a position where you can make better use of your skills. Saturn’s return to Libra on the 21st may make traveling unwise, but the Full Moon of the 25th is so favorable to you and your professional and personal relationships, you are not likely to feel a need to go anywhere.

August: As this month begins, you may feel like you’ve been running a race in lead boots, but when Venus enters Libra on the 6th, you may get your chance to get away from it all. The New Moon of the 9th energizes your love life, and as in an Eclipse you may “be seeing stars in the daytime”. Mercury’s retrograde on the 20th, and the Full Moon of the 24th both occur on the money axis of your solar chart. This is an excellent opportunity to reevaluate financial strategies, budget, do bookkeeping and perform similar activities.

September:The New Moon of the 8th is very favorable to your financial life, especially since Jupiter is involved. Once Mercury comes out of retrograde on the 12th, you have a perfect window of opportunity to start a new project or venture. The 18th is the peak of power of one of the luckiest planetary combinations in astrology, and it’s happening in the part of the money axis that has to do with windfalls. The Full Moon of the 23rd confirms that with what looks like a celebration, and the receipt of praise. There is also a caution in this to avoid unnecessary spending.

October: Venus goes retrograde on the 8th of the month, which can put pressure on your home life, as well as travel or educational plans. You really do need a break though, and with the New Moon of the 7th in the house of travel as well, maybe the universe is saying that you’ve gone too long without, so Venus is bending over backwards to give you another chance. The Full Moon of the 22nd revisits this theme once again, as if the planets keep asking “well, when are you headed out?” It’s possible also, that the plans are made now for something that happens in the future.

November: The New Moon of the 6th starts the month off enhancing both your popularity and your clout on the job. Sometimes these are signs of promotions, but watch out for praise followed by requests for favors; exploitation can be an effect of this Moon as well. Jupiter and Venus both come out of retrograde on the 18th, giving you the sense that both your social life and your advancement toward future goals are on track. The Full Moon of the 21st brings up the cyclic conflict between career success and happy home life, but with your stars this year, you can juggle both.

December: The New Moon of the 5th, in synch with Uranus, is favorable for your social life, but the social life may not be favorable for you. Mercury makes its last retrograde for the year on the 10th, in a sector of the chart that has to do with wellness. Take extra precautions, and if you use medication (even herbs) make sure you have plenty on hand. Mars’ transit may show you taking some time to renew the vital force, or just withdrawing from the scene for another reason. On the 21st though, the Lunar Eclipse energizes your social life to the point that if you won’t go to it, it will come to you. On the 30th, Mercury goes humbly direct, as if it was making up for earlier this month. Look forward to a prosperous 2011.
