General Overview for 2009

If you are born on 20-23 March, 4-6 April or 18-20 April you will be more influenced by the planets this year. If you have planets at 0-3º, 14-16º or 28-29º Aries it will be these planets that feel the planetary influence.

Of the major planets, Pluto in Capricorn will be changing your work and future. A generalised report such as this cannot take into account the age of the reader and this will be pivotal to the types of changes. If you are in your 20-30's you may find this planet spurs you to greater heights and puts you in an ambit ional state of mind. If you are in your 50's you may take early retirement, or find your job no longer exists. Pluto brings reform in the area of your horoscope and it is now sitting in the professional sector. Change in status is expected especially October-December when Saturn also enters your relationship sign of Libra.

The most intriguing cosmic activity on a personal level is the long transit of Venus through your sign. She will enter on 3 February and finally leave on 6 June, moving retrograde on 7 March until 18 April. Venus last made such a long stay in Aries in 1985 and there is a connection between then and now for those especially born in that year, or who had major experiences in 1985. Venus governs love, relationships, money and beauty and she is quite forthright in her attitude in this sign. Her independent approach in Aries can lead to many in this sign going out on their own in some way, and this whole time is significant for all partnerships that Aries find themselves in when it begins.

She makes her most powerful aspect - three squares to Pluto - on February 6, 3 April and finally 2 May and these sequences of dates are times for major decisions to be made.

Mars will enter Leo on 16 October and remain until June 2010 and in this time your creative flair will be at a high level. New enterprises can begin and develop through this time. This month can also be where most change is experienced in relationships.
