General:
Wave goodbye to the fog of 2011 and say hello to crystal-clear vision in 2012. You’ve no doubt been through a series of powerful metamorphoses since 2008, with Pluto taking possession of your stars. You’re not even halfway through the eighteen year shedding process that Pluto requires, and yet you’re not the same person you were just a few years ago. In some ways 2012 is a long, dramatic pause. You’ll be questioning many aspects of your life, especially work. Mars (the planet of action) will be retrograde for the first quarter of the year in your house of higher consciousness, putting you in a deeply introspective and philosophical mode. You’ll be less inclined to hit the road as you will be to hit the books. In the grand scheme, there is no question that you’re leaving the old life behind. Now it’s just a matter of faithfully emerging into the new.
Love:
Love is in great abundance during the first half of 2012 while Jupiter showers big fortune on your romantic sector. If anything, you’ll be bombarded with so much affection, you will feel guilty having to break so many hearts. You could easily fall in love overseas or with someone from a foreign country. Or love could take you on such a fabulous adventure that your entire world opens up. Life itself becomes a daily romantic experience. With Pluto continuing to excavate nearly every area of your life in his ongoing eighteen-year renovation project in your constellation, your relationships are no exception. One-to-one encounters are like being in constant psychoanalysis. Mars (the planet of drive and mojo) will be in positive aspect to your stars for the entire first half of the year. This bodes exceptionally well for your love life.
Career and Money:
Saturn delivers his last lessons and tests to your career sector as he finishes his tour through the sign of Libra. Use the first ten months of the year to apply all of the wisdom you’ve acquired to taking your professional status to the next level. You’ve learned valuable lessons in the last two-and-a-half years. You know how essential fairness, beauty, integrity and backbone are to your process. From now on these must be an integral part of your work and your larger career goals. In October, Saturn will enter your sector of goals, wishes and group associations, teaching you how to work with colleagues in new, better, and more efficient ways.
Friendship:
Your friendships are no exception when it comes to the deep, soul-searching work of transformational Pluto. One-to-one encounters are like being in constant psychoanalysis. You’re learning so much about yourself through the mirror of your friendships and that isn’t always easy or pretty. But in the end you’re in a process of perpetually unearthing some very deep insights about yourself. And with Saturn moving into your friendship sector this October, get ready to cut some toxic ties. You will be very clear about who your real friends are over the next two-and-a-half years.
Health:
You’ll have the extended benefit of Venus in your health sector from April until August. Note that during the retrograde phase of Venus between May and June, you may feel a little under the weather, especially if you work yourself non-stop without adding in necessary recovery time. But for most of the period between April until the end of 2012, your health has a halo of planetary protection around it. And with the auspices of Jupiter boosting your wellness from June until the end of the year, you should have tons of energy at your disposal. Just avoid excess, especially alcohol and sugar.
