Happy Birthday Libra!

As you blow out your candles on your birthday, know, just know there will be a context or a flavor that separates this year from the last 26 years. You are entering a new life cycle ( a 28 year life cycle), and much that goes into the new life cycle is connected to what you are choosing to let go of now. You know what works and you know what doesn't. Let go willingly of what is no longer functional, and the planet presenting this challenge will be quite easy on you. Buck the message and this could be a hard year as events appear to force your hand. Look to the weeks around the following dates, January 14, 2010 and May 30, 2010 for insight. If you were born in the beginning of the sign, this transit will impact you directly this year. You will feel it also if you have planets in early degrees of Libra. This transit begins on Halloween 2009.

Jupiter brings pay raises, new lovers and many jump with joy when this transit hits what might be deemed a �good� spot in the chart. The good news is that it IS in a good spot in the chart right now. For the next few months, it will feed your creativity, add to the twinkle in your eye and adds romance to your life. Some might have children on this transit, others grandchildren. In any case there is much more fun times with kids and loved ones. Jupiter will change signs in January 2010.

At that point Jupiter moves into the sign Pisces., where it will be for a good part of 2010. The segment that Pisces rules has to do with health, daily life and work. Though many people experience the positive impact of this transit, some will not immediately. Jupiter does bring positive events, but if what you are doing really is not working on some level, it will be brought to your attention, and possibly blown out of your life. For many , this passage will not feel �good�,. However what occurs afterward is that better comes along, but what a rough ride to get there, but unfortunately necessary for some of you.

The positive implications are the same no matter how Jupiter delivers its package. The delivery is a direct function of an individual's chart. You can expect perhaps more work, more visibility professionally, and more money in many cases. The acknowledgment does feel wonderful after a period where you have had to push very hard. Health wise, Jupiter translates as expansion, and in many cases, this could look like weight gain. If this fact is not good news for you, then do be careful. Often one cookie counts like 10 cookies! Watch blood pressure,too. Some women might become pregnant on this transit and expand they will! You also might take up a new hobby during this period. You find you like your co-workers more and those in your daily life. Friendships spring up in this area. Look to the weeks around Oct.12, 2009 and Sept 9, 2010 for insight.

Though generally speaking Jupiter hangs in one sign for about a year, This year it will rip through Pisces to enter Aries on June 6, 2010 to conjunct Uranus at zero degrees Aries. Trust times will be exciting as Aries is the beginning of the zodiac, and a fire sign. Uranus brings abrupt changes. This is a conjunction that occurs every 42 years and often brings a new beginning or new technology. In your case, it could shake up your relationship sector. You could experience a relationship breakup, and a getting back together on a much better basis. Some might see their partner become quite different and exciting once more. If single, you might be stunned by what drops in your life. In this case, it would be smart not to look at a new relationship coming in during this period as long term until it has gone a year.

Uranus has been in Pisces for the last 7 years, innovating your work life and making you more aware of the stress you carry in day to day life. By now you have received most of its messages. On May 28, 2010 Uranus will enter Aries. It will not stay there long as by August 14, 2010 , it will re-enter Pisces. This is a short passage. Uranus is destined to be in Aries for 7 years. What you experience in late May, June and July is only a preview of what will be happening later. Again be careful with relationships, especially someone who pops in your life during this period. A bond developed from this period will always have an unpredictable quality, that keeps it exciting. You will get a sense of its delivery power around the weeks surrounding July 5, 2010.

There has been a series of Uranus /Saturn oppositions since September 2008. Saturn is the status quo, the given, the tried and true. Uranus is electrifying energy creating awakenings and changes. It tosses the status quo goodbye. If you have planets near the degrees that this opposition has occurred , you could have felt a similar conflict in your life. Think. Have you been holding in to something that no longer serves you?

The next sequence will occur on April 26, 2010 in Pisces/Virgo and finally on July 26, 2010 in Aries/Libra. If you are born at the very beginning of the sign, you will feel it, in some form. Men might experience an identity crisis. Women could see men in their life 'act up� or changes to their career. Both sexes need to use stress reduction techniques and greet new willingly.

Pluto the planet of transformation gets involved in this mix. It has been edging back and forth at the beginning degrees of Capricorn. Your sun, if born at the beginning of Libra is being squared by Pluto. Pluto is about power and control. Often it brings out our own issues around power or draws someone into our life that is extremely manipulative. Either case we learn about our selves. Intrinsic will be the fact, try as we might, but we can control no one but ourselves. If not dealing with this issue, there could be a toll on health or outward aspects of our lives. The only to win is to not to play. You also might be witness to certain areas of your life degenerate. You need to personally take a stronger hand in transforming these questionable areas.

The above mention Uranus/Saturn opposition forms a square to Pluto, reminding you to give up the old ways, and welcome the new. Even if you do not have your planets involved yet in this configuration, you will see changes in your world that force you to adjust. This opposition trigger the fall of the US economy in Fall 2008 for example.

Neptune is in the sign Aquarius for one more year. Neptune are your ideals and dreams but it can also be how we do not see our lives realistically. Right now this planet in the area that rules children and love affairs. You might be having the wool pulled over your eyes. Or refusing to see what your kids up to, --or could you be putting a lover on a pedestal? Either way, you will find out,. But take responsibility for not really looking, Look to the weeks around Nov 6, 2009 and March 19, 2010.

In any case Neptune serves like a booster to all creative Libras. Us it well, and use Neptune to make your birthday wishes. Some of them will happen. Trust.
