Happy Birthday Aries!
You might be getting a sense of what your next year holds already. Most certainly, you are in a year where you could, -wish upon a star and unlike many other years, it happens.
Since early January 2009, Jupiter, the planet of good and plenty dropped into the area which represents our hopes, dreams and friendship. For many of you, it is just that, a wonderful time of making your dreams reality. Certainly you are expanding your circle of friends, networking more, this increasing your potential,
Not every ram is experiencing this transit as a plus. Remember the candy “ Good and Plenty”? they were mainly pink and white with an occasional black. Unfortunately the black spells trouble, and with Jupiter, abundance driving the interactions, what you will see that something in your life might be cleared out. Why? If you look back and think about it, a problem existed around this matter. By eliminating it, Jupiter is making room for better. Hard to believe, but that is the very nature of what occurs. In a year, you will understand. The good news is for most rams, they will not experience this 1 2 hit.
When Jupiter goes retrograde on June 15, 2009, its power might seem diminished, but each of you will have an opportunity to look over the last few months. Some might notice an opportunity came by that was not "jumped" on. This might even be a new friend! or some other important portal. Generally with retrogrades, with timing and astrological understanding, you have a second chance and perhaps even a third, after Jupiter goes direct Oct. 13, 2009.
Key to making this transit a success will be knowing what you want. Do you know that? Do some deep thinking and decision making before this bountiful planet’s transit is complete.
January 18, 2010, Jupiter will finish the transit of your 11th house.
This above mentioned period you can manifest much more than you have in the past. If you can dream it up, it can happen. Lady luck teamed up with Neptune the planet of imagination could make an unbelievable combo.
At the same time your immediate circle of friends-those you network with could transform. You will be drawing a more creative, artistic type of friend. You also might notice some of your buddies could be less dependable than in the past. Nevertheless through your friends and their support, you make many of your dreams reality. Look to the weeks around March 28, 2009 and November 4, 2009 for indications of what you might want to focus on.
At that point, Jupiter enters your 12 house, a very important and intriguing transit.. The “12 house” is the House of sorrows, secrets and undoing. With Jupiter, you will not greet your undoing. You will however be able to look within, and see how you might sabatoge yourself. You also will be like a cat with nine lives. Do not worry. You will land.
There is yet one more salient feature to this transit. It is the completion or the last year of a 12 year cycle. What might be wise is to look at what you started eleven years ago. Any existing problems that you have tried to work with and could not, might need to be let go. Sometimes we just cannot work with x and y situation. What will happen once you do that, you will be making room for better. You will also want to be open for the new 12 year cycle. You might start considering what you want for the next luck cycle
Career and public image are up for grabs. You have been in a process of changing and re-adapting. For some rams, you might believe it is “the economy” that might be at work. Truth be told, this transformation would be occurring either way. You also might suddenly could notice control games or power plays evolve with those have "authority". Question what works. Remember the only real way to win a game is not to play. This art is well worth learning.
Key "events", "happenings" or "realizations" are likely to occur the weeks around April 4, 2009 and September 11, 2009. It actually might take hindsight to understand but with any luck it will not. This period will be significant to those who were born in March or who have planets in the first 10 degrees of Aries. You cannot stop changes. Therefore it might be better to go with the flow. Your vision also will be changing.
For some of you, a different field is likely. Be willing to greet new experiences rather than fight them. For others, the very nature of your work is changing. If you close down , then you will be in trouble.
Though every day might not be easy, you might find a spot for creativity, detachment and insight. If hitting a jam or seeing a no win situation, stop. Try to see this issue differently. Reframe, pull it apart. Revise your thinking. See how both sides can be right and what you are looking at is no longer an either/or situation.
Often you receive “stunning” realizations. They seem to head in from left field. Sometimes in your dreams, you relax enough to receive or see. How and when you make a realization really does not matter, what does matter, is that you do. During the period right after this opening, you might not choose to discuss what you have seen. Perhaps that process is wise. You probably are familiar with it by now. In the next few years, it will be over. Greet these insights and embrace them. The weeks surrounding July 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009 could offer a plethora of realizations. You might also want to keep a dream notebook. You are opening up to new thinking and opportunity.
The planet Uranus that provides this new ideas and thought as, is being opposed by the planet Saturn which is the status quo. Often you will be torn between the tried and true, what has worked but appears to no longer be working. The path of new could feel a bit revolutionary, but you are an Aries. You can do it. You will be seeing these challenges play out also on the national and world arena. You can succeed. You will succeed. June 16, 2009 will herald the beginning of the end of this very difficult transit of 2 ½ years where fatigue, over-working and a lot of responsibility have become the norm.
Come November Saturn will change signs. During the period, you will redefine your major relationships. Choose to make them better when hitting an obstacle . The quality of your commitments will be tested.
Aries is ruled by Mars. When mars goes retrograde, you will tend to go askew or feel out of sorts. Feelings not shared are likely to come out but not in the manner you would most prefer. In general, you could feel out of sorts, out of whack.
Knowing this, the wise ram will circle the Mars retro this year, and be careful to avoid any snap judgments or changes. The dates for mars retro are from Dec 20, 2009 to March 10, 2010. You could end the year on a sour note if you do not relax and enjoy. Know decisions do need to be postponed.
As your birthday rolls around in 2009, blow out your candles knowing you can nearly make anything happen. Choose your wish with care. Happy birthday Aries.
