Aquarius (21st Jan - 19th Feb)

Your forecast for July 2010. 

 normally record the monthly videos as late as possible to maximize current influences.  Late last week, the man who makes the videos happen, Mr. Birthday Matcher, got diagnosed with kidney cancer, he's under the knife in a few days time.  So this month's video's are shorter and not the normal.  Please remember that essentially I am a one man band (with a little bit of valued help).  Normal service resumed next month.

The first half of 2010 has been very different compared to what the second half will be like.  The pressure on you from others has now turned inward; you're in a state of re-evaluating yourself to see if you're still ‘good enough', and where you're finding yourself wanting shows areas of life where you're not happy.  Clean your act up, focus the sore points so that they become like pimples on top of the boil and prepare to lance them, thus releasing a lot of pent up and restricted anger/toxin.  The Aquarius full Moon on the 26th July will act as a symbolic release point, so at the end of the month be aware of your capacity for temporary lunacy!

 

Romance and Relationship

 

Much of the last two or three months has been caught up in dealing with other people's affairs and the ways in which they affect you.  Now, for probably the first time this year, you can be more objective about your standing with others, and get a clearer and more detached perspective about who is still of value to you and who is basically taking too much of your energy for too little reward or feedback.  Not a particularly great month for further development, more a time for taking stock and seeing what you still want after these last crazy times, now fortunately at an end for most of you.

 

Work and Money

 

Rarely do I say this, but now is a time of solid opportunity.  You can see sudden windows of choice opening up in front of you, and if you don't take them then fine, but really chances like this don't come that often...  Particularly during the middle two weeks of July, you can find the pace of communications hotting up in unusual ways, and this can bring a number of different developments.  The main theme of all of this is that change and chance should be welcomed - but risk is probably over the top.  Speculation and gambling are not advised, but keep your antennae up for the pot of gold...

 

Health and Spirit

 

For the first time in months, if not years, there's the chance to start seeing the recent past from a more objective and detached perspective, as though you can finally begin to make sense of recent times.  Although things can never go back to what they once were, they can once again stabilise and this time is excellent for getting a broader viewpoint on to all of the developments of the last two or three years, and from then drawing a line in the sand.  There is no new confusion, the mist is turning into fine steam and most things are clearing.  Just take your time, for the first time in a long time there's no rush.

 

Your forecast for 2010

here is your yearly summary

2009 was one of the craziest years on record, with so many things being larger than life, so much hype and spin and real difficulty in being clear about who or what was real and of substance.  Now, as 2010 begins, you can take a deep breath and know that the madness is over, at least for 90% of you.  It is only those of you born after the 13th that are still under Neptune's clouds, and even these people should have a less dramatic year.  It's not a great year for stretching out and expanding your life, far more a time for recuperation and recharging.  The pressure and inflatedness is over - time to be a bit more gentle with yourself.

 

Romance and Relationship

 

During the first five months of the year there's a surprisingly high level of sensual and emotional energy around you, but this only becomes obvious through your one to one interactions.  With others you may find yourself being more witty and alive than normal.  This doesn't stop after May: it merely plateaus's, so use the first half of the year to get your love life off to a feisty and fiery start.  This is the best time for years to get in touch with your feelings, so use it or lose it without putting too fine a point on it.  Chances like this don't come that often.

 

Business and Finance

 

Much of 2009 was accompanied by a degree of hype and spin that could easily have led to excess, indeed if you got through the year without something going larger than life then you did well.  As 2010 evolves, so the amplification decreases and is replaced by mid January by a much more grounded and down to earth perspective.  Therefore in the middle January have a spot check of what you still have left and then consolidate it before beginning to once again inch forward knowing that good things will develop by doing so.

 

Health and Spirit

 

At least Jupiter's out of the way, or at lest will be from the middle of January.  Neptune is staying with you for the next two years, and in 2010 it's particularly affecting those of you born after the 13th, so these people should take impersonal advice before committing themselves big time...  Nevertheless, this year is far more aesthetic, subtle, empathic and intuitive in a way that hasn't occurred so far this century.  The more you open up to others, the more popular you become, and there's new communities out there waiting for you, so don't be shy.  The urgency is over.

 

MERCURY is with you from the 10th of February to the 1st of March.

 

VENUS is in Aquarius from the 18th January to the 11th of February.

 

MARS doesn't touch you in 2010 directly

 

JUPITER leaves you alone after January 17th.

 

SATURN is only helping in 2010, particularly if you're born in January.

 

URANUS isn't touching you in 2010

 

NEPTUNE is nearing the end of your sign and bringing with it a degree of confusion, vision, uncertainty, sensitivity, gullibility, intuition and sensuality, especially for those born from the 15th to the 17th of February.  All the world is a stage, and you are the casting director - just don't be too proud to ask for advice. 

 

PLUTO is not touching your chart directly this year
