After Saturn moves in with lighthearted Libra in October, your newfound confidence will inspire you to pursue dreams you never dared dream. Don't let changes in your family or friendships throw you off-kilter this year. They are going through a natural transition, and hanging onto the way things were, as opposed to the way things are, will just bog you down in wasted emotional energy.
 

Under no circumstances should you become discouraged this year. One by one the barriers that stand in the way of happiness and success are falling away. This year remember the words of Walter Elliot: "Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another." 

2009 Scorpio Love Match: Finally you are in the cosmic line for a little peace in your most personal relationships. If you are in a committed relationship, spend quality time working on the partnership and remind yourselves why you love each other. If you are single, teasing a fiery Aries may be fun but this year you yearn for a soul mate, a true romance. So kindred water signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will be thrilled to explore the mysteries of life with you. Or the earth sign Taurus could become a true partner. However, if an intriguing Libra sneaks into your heart, this could be the answer to your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Symbol: The Centaur/Archer
Element: Fire
Color: Blue and purple 

Life becomes the way it is lived. And Sag, seldom have you been in such a unique position to change the course of your destiny. Since uncompromising Pluto, the planet of life lessons and transformation, has now moved out of Sag, freedom beckons. This year you will be given the chance to knock down the walls you have built to protect your heart and soul, and achieve something of monumental importance: Finding yourself and your happiness.

Your ruler bountiful Jupiter will be under the influence of expansive Aquarius this year, inspiring your ambitious nature and stimulating your idealistic, inquisitive nature. Invest this energy into something you love and the success will follow your passion.

Most Sags will feel restless and torn between obligation and a desire for freedom. You have reached a new starting point in your work or career but this change will not happen overnight. Stay on course by meeting present obligations and responsibilities while working on a new blueprint of your life. Share your vision of the future and keep the lines of communication with your life partner open. That way you will cross these thresholds together.

Because this year's planets are in a slow transition, at times you may feel frustrated by your work or responsibilities. So make sure that you have a good outlet in place to work off any restlessness that could encourage unwise or rash decisions.

With so many of the planetary powers encouraging you to reach beyond your present situation or presumed limitations, take Gordon Parks words as your 2009 mantra: "I don't allow anyone to put a limit on my dreaming, and I dream big. Always."

2009 Sagittarius Love Match: If you are in a serious relationship drop the word SERIOUS and have a little fun together. Make more time for romantic dinners, weekend getaways and time alone. Single? Fire signs Leo and Aries will love your playful attitude and enthusiasm but this year a fascinating Gemini or lovely Libra could awaken your mind and passions. And for a few Sags, a sensitive Cancer could capture your heart.

CAPRICORN
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Symbol: Goat
Element: Earth
Color: Navy blue, dark green 

Last year the bountiful planet Jupiter graced the sign of Capricorn. This year he will move into Aquarius and your house of self-worth, helping you to put those plans or moves you made in 2008 into action. This is an excellent year to nurture new ideas and important contacts and proceed as if failure were not an option.

Goats tend to be emotionally insular and instead of communicating their fears or anger, keep everything bottled up in their hearts and minds. However, after your ruler Saturn moves into Libra in September you shock everyone by letting loose and allowing your romantic and social nature to peek through. This will also usher in a very fortunate two-plus year cycle for partnerships of all kinds. Work associations, romantic connections and friendships will thrive. So why not do your part? When the urge strikes you, start up a conversation with a stranger, reach out to new clients or contacts and don't forget to express your loving feelings.

Because your emotions are governed by the ever-changing moon, watch out for this year's six eclipses (occurring in Jan, Feb, Jul, Aug and Dec). These will constructively point out flaws in your plans, stir your emotions and perhaps connect you with a new work partner, soul mate, lover or friend.

This year Saturn will be in grounded Virgo until September, keeping you within the boundary lines of reality. But after this influential planet moves in with lighthearted Libra you may want to make the visionary Arthur C. Clarke's words your new life mantra: "The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible."     
  
2009 Capricorn Love Match: This is a busy year, and if you are in a committed relationships make sure that you make time for each other. Single? Although you are most compatible with fellow earth signs Taurus and Virgo, a Gemini would be a perfect business and love partner or a Sag could spark your yearning for adventure. But the sensitivity of a loving Pisces could open a door in your heart that you may have tried to seal.

AQUARIUS
Ruling Planet: Uranus
Symbol: Water Carrier
Element: Air
Color: Violet, blue and pastels   

After the last few hectic years, most Aquarians feel like checking into an asylum or a monastery. Not so fast, my fastidious friend. Although this year it may be a bit tricky finding your bearings, this is a setup of cosmic proportions and in January, Jupiter, the planet of luck and good fortune, will lend you his energy for the next 12 months. Yes, with a little tact, grace and your famous diplomacy skills, by the end of this year, you will have your life back on track.

Although anyone who challenges your authority or expertise tends to rile your temper, one of your 2009 challenges will be to keep your intuition tuned in and at times play the game by someone else's rules. And if you take a look at the big picture and understand exactly what is at stake, you will know that this is a very small sacrifice to make. Your first test will be during the January Aquarian eclipse.

Restrictive Saturn will add new responsibilities that may feel limiting but in reality are designed to help you redefine your hopes, dreams and wishes. With this combination of visionary and stabilizing star power, you can reinvent your career or even fall in love. And one of these new responsibilities could turn into a job, promotion or life-long passion.

Take advantage of even the smallest opportunity or idea and follow through. This year Gordon Parks' words should sum up your attitude: "The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed."

2009 Aquarius Love Match: Serious love matches become more fun, loving and solid, but don't forget that a marriage is like another job and takes attention and work to succeed. Single? Love is in the air but this year you crave freedom to play and socialize. Don't give your heart away too quickly but if you do, a warm Leo, mentally challenging Gemini or kind Libra could make you want to settle down.  

 

 
This year is full of good news. But until the limiting planet Saturn leaves hardworking Virgo in September, you may not see the rewards of your labor. You are now in the last phase of a two-plus-year Saturn cycle in which this difficult planet has opposed your Sun sign and kept success or dreams just out of reach.

Your tuned-in intuition will reach scary levels, and from January through June you could feel a bit unglued and indecisive. You are probably being steamrolled by too many ideas and too much decision-making. With this in mind, if you stay focused and centered, you will avoid a lot of stress.

Since the Moon guides your innermost feelings, pay close attention to the four lunar eclipses (occurring in Feb, Jul, Aug and Dec) where life seems to reach that crisis point and you feel like running away or throwing a tantrum. Before you do, stop and THINK with your heart… you will know what you should do.

Jupiter will move into your house of spirituality in September and no matter what your age or circumstances are, by the end of the year this inner journey will give you new confidence to go for those outrageous dreams that every Pisces harbors in the deep crevices of the mind.

This year, whenever you feel like giving up, review Ross Perot's advice on success close at hand:  "Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown."

2009 Pisces Love Match: You could be in the throes of heartbreak or putting a romance back together, but after bountiful Jupiter enters your relationship house in September, you want more joy and fun in your life. Let your partner know how you feel. Go on a date and remember how much fun life together can be. Single? A Cancer or Scorpio could be enticing but a Virgo or Gemini's offbeat sense of humor could make you laugh and inspire you with their clever mind.
