In the last few weeks of 2008 you reached a major turning point in your life and while there may have been pressure and it may have seemed that things were out of control at times, it’s because you are now in a stage of major transformation or transition, like a chrysalis getting ready to turn into a butterfly.
The first stage is already complete before the year begins, but only just. It was on the 27th December, just 4 days before the new year began that Mars finally left your work, employment and health sector, bringing to an end an era that has dominated your life since 1995.
This means that you’re moving into 2009 without that constant need to please or a situation where life was all work and no play. Never again will you be as busy or life as full on as it’s been in the past, especially in the last few months and weeks of 2008, yet you have now entered a period where you get to reap the rewards, especially financially.
You begin the year with an extraordinary amount of focus on your relationship sector, creating one of, if not the most defining periods in your lifetime, for your relationships, but also for you personally. This is a time when you’re likely to be questioning everything you ever assumed or thought, with half the planets in the solar system lined up, demanding that you’re being true to yourself, your life purpose and that your relationships are authentic.
You have passed a point of no return where it’s no longer okay to put things off, put up with second best or settle for less, either in your relationships or in how you are living your life.
In the early days of January the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto, the planets of communication, passion, luck and change are all in your relationship sector and all in opposition to your sign. While each has their own agenda, Mercury to open the communication lines, Mars to fight complacency and bring more passion, Jupiter to expand and grow and Pluto to change whatever isn’t working, they all have one objective in mind. And that objective is to make sure that you are living your life authentically and that your relationships are phenomenal and on both counts they’ll settle for nothing less.
At the time it might feel like you’re being ganged up on, but this is one time when the stars are not going to fail you, whether you have invited them or even want them to.
Call this a divine intervention!
However dominant this is at the start of the year and while Pluto will remain on to ensure that what the stars collectively begun, is sustained, this is not the major focus of the coming year.
Very early in the year the planets move on, until by mid February it is only Pluto left behind. It is Jupiter’s departure, on the 6th January that creates the real tipping point and it’s then that the focus moves to your sector of money, passion and transformation, where already big dreams and desires are developing.
It is here that your luck lies in 2009, a year that is destined to be one of your luckiest financial years on record, but also a big year for following your dreams and your passions.
Venus and Mars, the planets of desire and passion, are also going to play an important role in shaping your year. From early February to early June Venus will spend nearly 4 months in your career sector, bringing a huge amount of professional opportunity. Within this period there is a brief window of opportunity, between the 12th and 24th April, where there is a chance to escape, travel or learn. If you are planning a holiday this year and you certainly deserve it, that’s the period you should aim for.
While the whole of 2009 is an extremely lucky financial year it’s in October that things become even more extreme. It’s on the 17th October that Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition moves into your income sector, turning what is normally a 6 week visit into a period of extreme opportunity. Instead of staying just 6 weeks he’ll arrive on the 17th October, but won’t leave until the 7th June 2010, nearly 8 months later. Combined with lucky financial stars, this is an extremely lucrative period, with extreme income opportunities that you should be aiming for from day one. It is Venus’ 4 months in your career sector, from the 3rd February to the 6th June that is going to contribute to that as well.
The other major event to be alert to is Saturn’s move into your home and family sector at the end of October. This is when one of the most important periods for home, family and/or property matters in 3 decades begins.
