Month commencing 1st January 2009
Take the money or open the box – that’s the metaphorical choice now, you can’t have it all. The real issue here is what is of real value and worth – whether you place your financial and property issues above your romantic and relationship situation(s), or vice versa. It’s the age old choice between money and love, and given a straight selection between the two, it’s money that edges it at the moment. You are in a good position to attract external sources of funding now, whereas if you put all your energy into your relationship situation you’ll find yourself becoming increasingly frustrated and impatient. In one to one financial situations you don’t need to be so diplomatic.
Business and Finance
On the one hand the over the top and excessive situations of the last year are basically over by now, but on the other hand these endings have launched a need to actually do something instead of waiting for something to happen to you. Situations don’t happen to people, people happen to situations. But now the excess has gone, and once the short term energetic flurries have subsided, you’ll find that this month offers a greater degree of solidity than in recent months, and this is to be encouraged.
Romance and Relationship
With both Venus and Mars shining on you all month, your creative and even your procreative juices are going to be flowing, and you won’t feel like just sitting there and doing nothing, because you know that there’s a whole wide world out there to play with! You can become much more of an activist in your social situations over this month, it’s an unusually good time for you to take the initiative and lead from the front. Not only will you gain the respect of others, you’ll do your self confidence the world of good.
Health and Spirit
You can’t avoid the need for change, but if you’re willing to flow with the go then it need not be too disruptive. The Cancerian full Moon on the 11th brings a novel and original energy into your life that says that you can do now many of those things that you’ve always dreamt of doing. The only risk is that of staying in the centreground and cultivating a degree of normality, because that brings a degree of boredom that rapidly becomes unacceptable. Time for a gentle revolution.
Best times – around the full Moon on the 11th.

2009
As 2009 progresses, you may feel that the intensity increases but really – be grateful for small mercies. There is a helpful background energy over 2009 that encourages you to turn your boundaries from concrete and steel into transparent rubber and elastic – still unbreakable but more flexible. Are you in your own prison walls, or are you stretching out from a position of strength? With the exception of those of you born before June 26th, there are no major challenges coming up, but it’s not time for complacency. Whilst it’s not a year of major success or recognition, it is a time where through sustained effort and conscious application you can consolidate existing structures in a way that prepares you for major developments in 2010. So take your time and do things thoroughly and properly and in the long run you’ll be pleased that you did. For those of you undergoing forced transformation this year, remember that all growth is painful, and it’s better for you to be kindly ruthless than have circumstances dictate to you.
PLUTO is directly confronting those of you born June 22nd – 25th, but change is an absolute for these people. NEPTUNE is not affecting you, whilst URANUS is bringing joyful and stimulating change into the lives of those of you born between July 14-19. SATURN brings structure into many of your lives this year, most notably those born from July 6-13, and JUPITER isn't really touching you.
MARS is with you from 25 August to October 16, VENUS from the 1st to the 26th August, and MERCURY from 3-17 July. The Cancer new Moon is on July 22, and the Cancer full Moon on January 11.
