I am hoping that 2009 will be better than 2008 (I am born under this sign), but I must admit there is little useful energy coming in. There are no major planets in the fire sign group now, so what you achieve this year is likely to come from determination and sticking it out, than instant success in your personal life. Initially you may need to conserve money.

The best activity is coming from your relationship sign of Aquarius, so your partners may have a better year, and you may get the rebound. Jupiter in Aquarius all year is likely to show that opportunities are there for you in a partnership or alliance. You can also meet people who can look on your with affection and boost your confidence by their presence in your life. When Jupiter conjoins with Neptune and the planetoid Chiron from May-July hidden talents can come to the surface with the assistance of a teacher. This can bring out strong compassion and any latent intuition you may possess. It can also be a time of healing, using and learning.

The Eclipses also influence close partners and friends with 26 January, 10 February and 6 August highly important dates for relationships in your life. There can be a change of some sort around these dates, which can be exciting or disruptive depending on who comes in.

On 17 August Mars enters your sign for the first time in two years and does not leave until 7 June 2010 so will make an extended stay. Mars in the planets that drives us, gives us energy and passion to action on a personal level. Until the end of the year the energy is much better.
