January: Networking, friendship and group activities all become beneficial to you because of the Solar Eclipse on the 15th. You may be introduced to someone now who is able to open doors for you during the next six months. After Jupiter enters your sign on the 17th you can expect positive financial results from your actions, but you must take action. Saturn's position is not favorable for speculation or sudden windfalls this month; it is also important that you not extend loans to others. Near the Full Moon at the end of the month, watch out for the spread of gossip: someone may be trying to undermine you.

February: With Venus in your sign, the New Moon of the 13th proves to be a positive one. This is a time to look at lifestyle and wellness, and determine what your steps should be to improve your life. Mercury is in your investigative house, so you should not have trouble telling the good from the expensive. Jupiter, the planet of self improvement, joins with Venus in your sign on the 16th, just to help you get started. Watch out for misleading information just before the Full Moon of the 28th, which can really supercharge your love-life.

March: The month starts early, with Mercury entering your sign on the first to help you organize. New people may enter your life on the 3rd, possibly the sign of something happening in the romance department. Look for especially good news on the 7th, and on the 10th, when mars is finally out of retrograde, expect to see a gradual increase in stamina and vitality, but only if you are making that happen. The New Moon of the 15th is in your sign again, promoting your self-interest and giving you plenty of energy to get things done, while the Full Moon of the 29th falls in the financial axis and could precipitate a windfall.

April: Saturn makes its final visit to your house of relationship for almost 30 years this month. After the 7th, expect a kind of coldness in the love life (many of you may have experienced this for almost 3 years). The New Moon of the 14th is powerfully placed in your financial axis, and could bring positive news regarding money, if not a small windfall; you’re lucky this year Pisces. Mercury’s retrograde on the 18th could be difficult for you regarding commuting and communication. The Full Moon of the 28th may prod you to travel, but it is not advisable right now.

May: Mercury goes direct on the 11th, and there is a New Moon in the same sign, Taurus, two days later. This is an auspicious sign for the travel you’ve wanted. Uranus’ brief visit to your wealth house may cause an upset financially, but it could be due to purchasing something you really want. Jupiter and Saturn mutually aspect on the 23rd, limiting your spending, which is OK. The Full Moon of the 27th should make for a wonderful end-of-month socially. On the 30th, Saturn comes out of retrograde, and can actually work for you for the next few years.

June: On the 6th, Jupiter enters your wealth axis sign, Aries, for a short while this year, and it can be quite favorable for you during this time. Mars is in your relationship house for almost the entire month, so you can expect relationship issues to be a bit more thorny than usual. The New Moon of the 12th calls out for “fun, fun, fun” while Venus enters the wellness axis on the 14th. All of these are omens of a prosperous month, but that’s not all! The Lunar Eclipse of the 26th fires up the social and play aspects of life, but it is connected with malefic planets, so don’t overdo it, be reasonably prepared for the weather, and make sure you have emergency procedures in mind – anything can happen!

July: : Venus, the love planet, enters the house of relationships on the 10th. This is the day before the Solar Eclipse that excites the house of fun, enjoyment, children and social activity on the 11th. Eclipse effects can last six months or more, so this one will make for a wild ride! On the 21st, Saturn re-enters your wealth axis, and will help you focus on saving and conservation of wealth. The Full Moon of the 25th may concentrate on work issues, but could be a perfect time for consultations, retreats or special therapies to improve the overall health.

August: This is an excellent month for travel. The New Moon on the 9th may cause you to pay attention to matters at work, but Uranus enters your sign on the 13th to shake things up a bit, and with the Full Moon of the 24th in your sign as well, chances are good that you’re going to do what you want to do and cross the bridge of consequence when you come to it. Jupiter and Saturn are aligned on the 16th, and this could mean problems are easier to solve, and that practical solutions can be found in your ideals, so don’t worry, be happy.

September: The New Moon, Venus’ entry into Scorpio, and Jupiter’s transit into your sign all happen on the 8th. This is extremely fortunate, because these two planets are called “benefics” and more often than not, do favors for us. Plus, this New Moon is in your relationship house. This will be a good period as far as these two subjects are concerned, and more importantly, are capable of putting up with the assaults of Saturn and Mars after Mercury goes direct on the 12th. The ultra-lucky Jupiter/Uranus conjunction happens in your sign on the 18th, and the Full Moon of the 23rd happens across your wealth axis. This is good stuff; use it or lose it.

October: The New Moon of the 7th falls on your wealth axis, which is fortunate, and Venus goes retrograde on the 8th, which is not so fortunate. Venus is in the area of the chart that has to do with your long term plans and goals, and under this influence, you could be tempted into watering them down, or you may want to lower your expectations of yourself. That is not the right thing to do. Mercury comes to this place on the 20th, and can reason much of this out. The Full Moon of the 22nd, however, is on the wealth axis again, full of optimism and hope, pushing you ahead, not back.

November: The New Moon of the 6th may try to get you involved in an adventure, or at the very least, a trip to somewhere you’ve never been. Venus returns to Libra on the 7th, and although it is retrograde, it can do its job much better, so you can set some of those negative feelings aside. On the 18th, Venus goes direct, and the Full Moon of the 21st falls in the travel and knowledge axis, emphasizing neighbors, siblings, people at a distance and local events. Expect friends and contacts to be more active and social after the 30th.

December: The astrological month begins with the New Moon of the 5th in the career sector of your chart. Unless you only work during the winter holiday season, this is a prediction that will lapse into 2011, that you will be quite busy and doing something unique, even for you. Mercury could shake up some associates or friends due to its retrograde on the 10th, and the Lunar Eclipse of the 21st falls right in the social axis of the chart. This can also emphasize children, as well as group gatherings. A solstice celebration would be nice for you. Mercury goes direct on the 30th, in your career house, hinting again that 2011 will be a dynamic and career-oriented year.
