January: The January 15th Eclipse, which is in your sign, is favorable for both romance and personal changes. If you have been thinking about a "makeover", this is certainly the time to do it, because outward changes that others notice help anchor the big changes in life. Pay attention to rumors and the odd behavior of others at work. There may be trouble brewing; keep your distance if you can see it coming. Your influence in all areas of life will increase after the 17th, thanks to Jupiter. This would also be a good time for training that enhances your working skills.

February: You can expect this to be a very favorable month for you , and even the retrograde Mars in the wealth sector won’t give you too much trouble. With Mercury transiting that part of the chart after the 10th, and the New Moon there on the 13th, you can expect your problem-solving, practical nature to work through anything. Venus gives you the ability to say no in a way that makes others happy after the 11th, and connects with Jupiter to make a travel opportunity on the 16th. The Full Moon of the 28th also favors travel, so, if you can, go for it!

Mars comes out of retrograde on the 10th, allowing some of your financial situation to gradually get back on track. The New Moon of the 15th is very favorable for communications and charm, the Full Moon and Venus favor career activity and fun respectively.

April: Your social life is already picking up as early as the 2nd, but after the 7th, this month is unfavorable for travel. If you must, try to postpone it until the second week of May. The New Moon of the 14th should make your home your castle, encouraging you to be there. Mercury’s station of the 18th suggests that the second half of the month is good for going over things and correcting old errors.

May: Travel may not live up to your expectations this month, especially not before the 11th. The New Moon of the 13th could activate the social life, and very romantic feelings can be expected to emerge around the 19th, thanks to Venus. The 23rd has combinations that urge you to break away from what’s old and stale in your life, and the Full Moon of the 27th may give you a chance to think some of this through from a fresh perspective. Until Saturn refocuses your attention on your long-term plans at the end of the month, try thinking about how one rises to the level of their peers.

June: This is a very active month astrologically, focusing primarily on career matters and you. Three of the four Eclipses this year are about you, your goals and your relationships. Mercury’s transit of the 10th and Mars’ of the 7th are setting up for a clash over health or working conditions around the New Moon of the 12th. But on the 26th, you’ll experience the second of three Eclipses focusing on you. There could be domestic or family clashes, and this would not be a good time to ask a person of interest to share a living space with you.

July: This month may be tranquil until the 9th, when financial matters must be dealt with. This is followed up by pleasant changes in (or new!) plans: the Solar Eclipse of the 11th may very well initialize them, because it falls in the house of relationships. You can expect your authority and responsibilities to increase around the 21st, and the Full Moon of the 25th, while energizing the money sector, warns to be more responsible with your money by avoiding investments now. On the 31st, you may have the feeling that you are trying to drive with the brakes on.

Before the 20th, you could experience a small windfall of money. The Full Moon of the 24th may stimulate your urge to travel, but if you do, go somewhere you are familiar with.

September:The New Moon of the 8th, the effect of which lasts about a month, is very favorable for travel. After Mercury comes out of retrograde on the 12th, “all signals are go”. The 18th may be the beginning of a major lucky streak, and if not, you will meet new people who expand your horizons in some way. The Full Moon of the 23rd falls on what we call the “Earth Axis” which could throw you in the path of someone famous, or a newsworthy event. This, coupled with the Jupiter/Uranus alignment earlier in the month, could make for your “15 minutes” (or more).

October: On the 3rd, Mercury begins to transit your career sector, with very good results. By the 7th, when the New Moon in that part of the horoscope catches up, you may have gained considerable influence on the job. Venus goes retrograde on the 8th, creating some discord in the social life, but favorably slowing things down so that you can attend to other facets of your experience. The Full Moon of the 22nd emphasizes the conflict between time spent at work and with family: home is likely to be demanding now.

November: The New Moon of the 6th is very powerful, and capable of manifesting a wish you’ve had, especially if it involves business matters. There may be evidence of this after the 7th.You’ll want to get plenty of rest and sleep this month,. If there is a presentation, or you are interviewing this month, consider yourself lucky. It’s almost impossible for something to go wrong in this way after the 18th. The Full Moon of the 21st is very favorable to the social life, and to children, if any. Mercury enters your sign on the 30th, accentuating your skill and cleverness.

December: The New moon of the 5th, paired with Uranus, can make for unusual busyness. Mars also gets involved in this on the 7th, but could drive you to go too far too fast. You will need to concentrate and look before you leap this month. Mercury retrogrades in your sign on the 10th, and could cause your plans to go awry, or force you to keep changing them so that they never get done. This may be overcome after the 18th, or by an important challenge that comes with the Full Moon of the 21st. This is the last Eclipse of the year, and shows your job keeping you on the go, and predicts more responsibility and a lot more income for 2011.
