Libra

General
Bid Daddy Saturn, the karmic taskmaster, has been putting your love life to the test over the past two-plus years. Relationship lessons have been relentless. If you have not made important decisions about when to commit and when to quit, these are your final months of reckoning. Jupiter will be in Taurus, making a magical aspect to your stars for a good portion of 2012. Jupiter’s auspicious presence in your sector of sex, transformation and other people’s money brings every material and emotional resource you could ever want. World travel beckons in 2012 so keep your passport handy. Between the spring-summer eclipse patterns activating your travel sector in May and June and the prolonged presence of Venus in your travel sector between April and August, it’s time for you to ramble on!
Love:
Uranus, the planetary wild card, continues to play tricks on your relationship sector in 2012. There is a method to the romantic madness, and that is to get you to think outside of the box. Co-dependence no more, darling, as the planets insist you find your inner warrior. This doesn’t mean you have to be alone. In fact, this could be one of the most rewarding relationship cycles in a long time. With Saturn continuing to exert his wise influence until October, you continue to deepen your commitments. Love may be blind, but the veils lift after February. Neptune (the planet of illusion and delusion) leaves your romance sector after haunting you for the past several years. Instead of projecting your ideal on to lovers, you’re in search of your best, healthiest match—fancy that.
Career and Money:
2012 is the time to expand your horizons, Libra. If 2011 was the year of deepening your commitments, this is your year to bust out of your comfort zones. There is a whole wide world of creative potential waiting to manifest, and all you have to do is grab the brass ring. With Neptune returning to your work sector in February, you’re being called to cultivate a more soulful attitude towards work. You can longer get away with putting off what you love; you’ll instantly feel a dreadful sense of emptiness if you work just for money. There’s a good chance you’ll be more drawn to music, film, fashion and photography than ever.
Friendship:
Saturn has helped ground you in your truth and you are now very clear about what you will and will not tolerate within one-to-one relationships. This can only translate into deeper relationships with your friends. Thanks to Saturn occupying your stars since 2009, you now have a very clear sense of self and boundaries. It’s finally getting easier to say no without worrying so much about disappointing others. This allows for more authentic friendships to enter your life. And when the Cosmic Taskmaster leaves your stars in October, you’ll be ready to apply all of the powerful lessons you’ve learned in the last few years, strengthening your bonds with those that matter.
Health:
With Neptune moving into your health sector and joining Chiron (the “wounded healer” asteroid) this February, you will be more susceptible and sensitive to picking up whatever is going around. You’ll feel like a cold and flu sponge, so wash your hands even more often than usual – feel free to be one of those crazy people who are obsessed with hand-sanitiser. Your best defence is to arm your immune system proactively. Load up on the supplements and herbal concoctions. The upside is that you’re also more responsive to holistic and subtle treatments than ever before. Acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology and yoga are healing modalities you may want to experiment with.
