Sagittarius Yearly HoroscopeSagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The central theme for you these days is about restructuring as a means of strengthening your overall foundation. From a holistic perspective, our foundation includes our physical (earth/body) mental (air/perceptions) emotional (water/feelings) and spiritual (fire/habits and routine). Perhaps it is just one of these areas that require attention or perhaps it is all of them. Aiming to improve and increase the quality of your health in general is important now. Jupiter’s position this year will lead you to be more focused than you were last year and this should serve to raise your confidence levels. Questions of fairness, equality and justice may be up these days and you are challenged to take full responsibility, free of blame of yourself or anyone else, for your part in these matters. A new spirit of adventure and creativity will begin to bubble to the surface especially in the summer.Tip of the YearHoroscope for the Year 2010
It is 2010! As a friend recently said, it sounds like sci-fi! But here it is and here we are and Happy New Year! No more two thousand and … 7, 8, 9… now it is twenty-ten! It will be twenty whatever from here on in, as long as the Gregorian calendar remains the global count. Whatever else might be said about this calendar date and any calendar and dates, the world collectively agrees it is 2010 and if that is the year we ‘collectively believe’ it to be, then that is the year it is. Does anyone really know what time or date it is? Even precise Astronomical alignments don't actually say "the official cosmic date is...." Life is a game that way. This date could change and probably will one day, but until then it is now twenty-ten. The date count of 2010 is logical in light of the collective measuring it that way, which it has for a long time now, like for the entire life span of all the people of the Western World and increasingly the rest of the world. Yes, reality is flexible that way, a particle and wave, a fact and a fiction. We are co-creators in the creation. Twenty-ten, twenty-eleven, twenty-twelve twenty-twenty-three, twenty one hundred, twenty-three forty-two and so on. One wonders if by then we will actually say ‘star date twenty-….’ So now, are you ready for the birthing of a new era? Well ready or not because that is what this pivotal year implies and in addition to the numerology, it is reflected in the planetary alignments.
2010 is a universal 3-year – a year of expansion and outreaching activities. That is what number 3 basically symbolizes in Numerology. What was initiated in 2008, the first 1 year of the new millennium will enter into an expansion phase this year. The symbolism of numerology can be used for many practical purposes, among them a sense of evolution and meaningful flow. 2010 will prove to be a year that lends credence to the power of numbers to measure the probability of intensity of events. # 3 has to do with expansion and acceleration. I have been outlining the basic themes of the universal year number for many years. You can review what was said of previous years in the Library and then in Horoscope Related Articles posted on my site.
Of course, the symbolism of the universal year number suggests a general theme for us all and each person has their own cycles, which are that much more of a reality, to each person. Yet, we can look to the general cycles for clues and guidance and to the reality we share. Numerology works with number cycles which all basically boils down to 9 year cycles and theme characteristics. As simplistic as that sounds, it is amazing how much information a persons birthday, for example, says about whom they are and where they are at in their life, in terms of their cycles. The value of this knowledge is that it allows us to tune-in to who we are more intimately, based on the archetypal power of number symbols. Such a perspective helps us to break out of the trance of seeing life as a series of unrelated episodes or from being distracted by an apparently disparate series of outer events or, conversely, the monotonous repeat of the ‘same old, same old’. Some people will actually relate to it much more easily than Astrology. There are many ways of measuring cycles, actually. Modern science has led people to assume that who and how we are solely originate from our DNA, our genetic inheritances compounded with the influences of the environment. As valid as these aspects of who and how we have come to be, life is deeper than both of these important fields of human understanding. So, now I would like to offer Numerology Readings as a service in its own right.
On a more personal note, our birthday measures time cycles in our life and our name measures our personality proclivities, strengths and challenges and the two sets of numbers can be combined and compounded in many surprising and illuminating ways. Numerology is actually closely linked to Astrology, like a close sibling. So, 2010 is a 3 year and 3 is the number that is symbolically linked to Jupiter, especially. Sure enough, we can easily see that Jupiter in the charts – planet position maps - will play an extra special role this year. I will highlight this fact more fully below in the planetary activity overview for 2010. Before I do so, I would like to announce here that starting in 2010; I will be offering Numerology Readings. I have always combined Astrology and Numerology, but I have not always made it clear to my clients where I was getting certain information, like that from the Numerology. I did not partially due to the fact that in doing so it opens an education platform and that is not generally what people are seeking with a reading appointment. This is the main reason I write a lot of articles on my site – to offer many and various insights about Astrology and how and why it works. And this includes Numerology because the symbolism of numbers and the symbolism of planets go hand in hand. The Tarot is an offspring of this union as are many other oracular tools. Metaphysics includes the science of archetypes and the symbols that reflect their inner meanings. Further, it is the combination of symbols that creates a language of our psychology and evolutionary life cycles and rhythms. I have studied and practiced Numerology for many years, in fact several systems, including Chinese and Mayan. Of course, both those systems of Astrology and that of Jyotish and Western Astrology all recognize the close relationship between Astrology and Numerology. The accurate character descriptions and cycle themes that they illustrate is the simple proof. Try it and you will see.
Astrologically, 2010 is a very dynamic year. With a lot of planets entering new signs and forming ‘hard aspects’ between the major players – the big and far planets, we can expect the pace to be extra dynamic and possibly challenging. A simple metaphor is to liken the pace to the river current becoming swifter and more turbulent and then, rather suddenly, turns to roaring rapids. Film producers play on this image all the time. For some, this is where all the fun begins while for others it stirs their fears. In both cases, stress levels rise. However these planetary ‘ingresses’ (planets entering new signs) and the ‘hard aspects’ (Conjunctions, Squares and Oppositions), that will occur this year, can be seen initially from a general point of view, as with the numbers. In other words, we will collectively experience them. How these will ‘aspect’ (make dynamic connections) and so ‘influence’ or affect any person, state or organization (a ‘person’ includes any entity with a birth date like a country, town or city or a business, for example), is relative to the facts and details of their Natal or Birth Chart. This is how Astrology ‘basically’ works. Why and how it works is a much deeper story. I will list the degrees of these planetary aspects below. If you know how to read a chart, these can help you personally measure the cycles. Otherwise, you may want to consult with an Astrologer or at least a student who is well versed in the basics of chart interpretation. Of course, determining their deeper meaning is a fine art. 2010 stands to be pivotal for us all, personally and collectively.
What we do with the stresses we feel is up to us – yes free will. Life is about probability and possibility, fate or destiny and free will. (Fate and destiny are often confused and I have noticed that many people think they mean the same thing but they do not.) So, anyone who tells (sells) you that you can be and do anything you want does so without discussing the fine print, which is at least as detailed as those licence agreements we are supposed to read and agree to in all areas of life. Yes, the probability is the fine print and if addressed specifically, most of the people who say you can be and do ‘anything’ you want and choose, if pressed, will probably say ‘well not anything…’. The term ‘anything’ can be interpreted literally and when it is, we soon learn that the term is a sale. On the other hand, neither is our life pre-determined in a fixed sense. The common misinterpretations of the meaning of fate and destiny include the assumption that those who appreciate the realities of these terms believe that the future is preordained and fixed. No, it is not. The future is probable, yes; but certain, no! Of course the ego wants control and yielding even a little of its power to alignment with natural cycles feels like weakness to free will choice addicts – a trend that has steadily increased since the industrial revolution. Is it any wonder than we rape and plunder nature in such insane ways and measures?
In the January 1st Horoscope, I listed the top 10 list of planetary activity for 2010. For convenience, I will list them again here and elaborate on each below, yet in a more synthesized manner and so in 6 points rather than 10 as above. This breakdown of the whole picture of events over the course of 2010 is an endeavour to illustrate the scope and intensity of activity destined to occur this year. These themes could be elaborated upon much more than I will do here and I will bring more attention to each in my monthly new moon Newsletter and in a more personal way in my weekly Horoscopes.
1. 2010 is the second decade of the New Millennium. This adds up to 3, the number of expansiveness and expression, ruled by Jupiter. Get ready for big shifts.
2. Jupiter enters Pisces January 17. Anticipate increased spiritual interest and or religious fanaticism.
3. Saturn forms the second of 3 Squares to Pluto on February 21, both in Cardinal Signs of beginnings and action.
4. Saturn retrograde re-enters Virgo on April 7 - the focus on new environmental laws will continue.
5. Uranus enters Aries on May 27 = a fury of unpredictable and sudden change.
6. June 6, Jupiter moving fast will race through Pisces to enter Aries – pioneering initiatives will coincide.
7. Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in Aries on June 8. This mark of genius also implies accelerated, sudden and large scale change. Mass spiritual awakening is implied and perhaps migrations.
8. Saturn will form the last of 5 Opposition aspects to Uranus on July 26, but this time they will both be in Cardinal Signs – Libra and Aries respectively. A brief, singular and dynamic exchange is likely.
9. Jupiter in Aries will square Pluto/Charon in Capricorn – both Cardinal Signs – on August 3rd stimulating extensive, eventful activity.
10. Saturn makes its last Square to Pluto/Charon on August 21 bringing completion to the changes it is destined to reveal.
1) I outlined the Numerology overview for the year above so you should by now be aware of it. If not, return to the top and read it there.
2) Jupiter enters Pisces January 17. Anticipate increased spiritual interest and/or religious fanaticism. Jupiter in Pisces is very assertive when it comes to beliefs and convictions. There is zeal in this combination. When handled consciously, it can prove very benevolent, mystical and spiritual indeed. Pisces is the sign of the subconscious, so there is the danger that it could operate unconsciously as well. This can lead to denial and escapism through all forms of substance abuse. Further, it could express as religious fanaticism. Jupiter will be moving very fast in Pisces for five months and will actually enter Aries on June 6th and by June 8th it will form a conjunction aspect with Uranus in Aries and at 0 Aries. It is as though it must ride swiftly and through the night to meet Uranus just in time for their appointed destiny. This mark of genius – Jupiter conjunct Uranus also implies accelerated, sudden and large scale change. Mass spiritual awakening is also implied and perhaps increases in the scope and measure of mass migrations. If there is an alpha point in a circle, a point where it actually begins, it is 0 Aries. This is the point that marks Spring Equinox. Deeper levels of Astrology recognize this point as simply the most important of all. It is also symbolic of the moment the Sun rises above the horizon. This powerful aspect is all the more so because it will occur at 0 Aries and therefore signifies the ignition of a very important and powerful cycle. The aspect will only last for a very brief time and will not occur again at this esoteric point again for many years. It should be mentioned that the chart as a whole for the exact time of conjunction hosts powerful karmic overtones and not of the positive sort.
The next time Jupiter conjuncts Uranus will be in Pisces and it will do so 2 times: September 19th at 28 Pisces 43 Rx with both planets retrograde and January 4, 2011 with both planets direct again at 27 Pisces 02. (January 4, 2011 is also a Solar eclipse New Moon!) The charge of these conjunctions will be initially very emotional and bonding and then in January very sobering yet more realistic and committed to deliberate actions.
3) Saturn forms the second of 3 Squares to Pluto/Charon on February 21, both in Cardinal Signs of new beginnings and action. A Square aspect is very dynamic and often difficult. This one implies the need to make new commitments reinforced with integrity and sober, realistic action. A need to create a new state of balance is implied and is directly linked to governments and the economy. The proposed HST here in Canada tax is the most obvious reflection of this alignment. Other countries will respond to it according to the particularities of their financial and economic realities. In a wider sense, Astrologers recognize it to be a destabilizing force in the world economy. It is difficult to understand and appreciate all of the realities of the economy even at national levels let alone international. Woven within this aspect are realities and strategies that have been brewing for years. I say this because this square is called an upper square which means that Saturn and Pluto/Charon already formed an opposition aspect back in mid August 2001 – less than a month before the 9/11 attacks. Many continue to suspect treason in this act beyond terrorism. Economic and financial realities were surely involved beyond politics, religion and revenge. So, this square is the next natural phase of whatever was spurred by that history making time 8.5 years ago.
Saturn makes its last Square to Pluto/Charon on August 21 bringing completion to the changes it is destined to reveal. (I am addressing number 10 above as it is appropriate to do so here.) What is perhaps most significant about this date line is that by the time Saturn and Pluto do form their last Square to one another in Libra and Capricorn respectively, so many other major planetary events will already have taken place. The final aspect between two far planets that will exchange energies at least 3 times is the resolution phase of the aspect. The first is always the initiation and that occurred in November 2009 when the proposed HST was just gaining popular attention. The real crunch comes at the mid point between the first and last aspect (sometimes there are more than 3 aspects between the far planets due to their retrograde motions). Again, that is in late February but we will already feel the pressure of it now in January. If there is good new behind this economic reform it is that it will aim to address economic realities that are no longer stable. Whether everyone will like the measures of reform is probably unlikely.
4) Saturn retrograde re-enters Virgo on April 7 until July 20 - the focus on new environmental laws will continue. I addressed Saturn in Virgo at some length over the past few years so I will keep it brief. If you want to review what I said I invite you to read the Horoscopes for the Year for 2007, 2008 and 2009 which are available in the Library of my site in Horoscope Related Articles. Basically, this aspect refers to the environment and to new communications technologies. With social media now sweeping the world at an ever increasing rate and expansive scope, the synchronicity is clear. The environmental summits are the other main reflection. When Saturn re-enters Virgo and throughout the course of this re-visitation, the push for reform to protect the environment should take on renewed meaning and force. Again, the time frame of this event is noteworthy as it coincides with so many other major aspects.
5) Uranus enters Aries on May 27 = a fury of unpredictable and sudden change. June 6, Jupiter moving fast will race through Pisces to enter Aries – pioneering initiatives will coincide. I addressed the conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in Aries above. Uranus in Aries of itself is potent, dynamic, forceful and eventful. Since Uranus will be in Aries for 7 years…we can expect an accelerated surge towards a brave new world. The last time this aspect occurred was 1927 – 1934. Of course, it was different then in many ways. However, in as much as this cycle will resemble that one, let us briefly review. In 1927 the gay 20’s was roaring alright. At its peak the economy crashed and power structures, especially economic, changed hands dramatically and rather unpredictably. Amidst the economic mega quakes, Pluto was discovered – the planet of power, change and transformation. These are just a few key events. During the next 7 years we can expect another series of sudden, largely unexpected and dramatic shifts.
Most significant are the aspects that Uranus will make to other planets while transiting Aries – a cardinal sign of beginnings, as mentioned. Among these, Saturn will form the last of 5 Opposition aspects to Uranus on July 26, but this time they will both be in Cardinal Signs – Libra and Aries respectively. A brief, singular and dynamic exchange is likely. Saturn will have just re-entered Libra and Uranus will be in retrograde motion heading back for a brief re-entry period in Pisces. They will cross paths in Opposition Aspect again with Uranus at 0 Aries! This is quite remarkable and will prove eventful indeed! Watch for major new initiatives and do not expect a smooth ride, at least in the larger scheme of things.
So Uranus will form close and strong aspects to Jupiter and Saturn – the two social signs – and also to Pluto/Charon. The implications of Uranus aspecting Jupiter and Saturn and both from 0 Aries are immense in terms of initiative based, turning point events indicative of measurable change. Yet, it is the Uranus Square Pluto/Charon that stands to be the most powerful aspect series of all. Yet, the first of 7 ‘hits’ of the Square aspect between them will not occur until Summer Solstice 2012…and it will take until Spring Equinox 2015 before they have completed their round. The root conjunction of this aspect was in 1965! What is important to consider for now is that all the major events that will occur this year are all part of a lead up to that major turning point in 2012. By now, many if not most people are aware of the story behind 2012. The popular motion picture just being released will bring even more attention to it yet I suspect it will do so from a popular angle, Hollywood style. I will devote more attention to this important theme in future articles so stay tuned!
6) Jupiter in Aries will square Pluto/Charon in Capricorn – both Cardinal Signs – on August 3rd stimulating extensive, eventful activity. This aspect does not seem as major as the ones mentioned above, however, because both planets will be in Cardinal Signs and since the aspect comes on the heals of all the others mentioned, it should manifest as a flurry of activity that will influence and coincide with the accelerated pace of change. This aspect generally indicates a very active and busy time subject to a wide array of expressions and events. Again with Aries involved and Capricorn, the Signs that are symbolically linked to Spring Equinox and Winter Solstice respectively, we can expect major initiatives to occur every time they aspect one another. This will happen by the way twice, once in August 2010 and then again in February 2011.
So, Twenty-Ten is the next major turning point of the millennium. The first was the turn of the millennium itself, the second was the 9/11 attacks, then was the 2003 Gulf War which together were the beginning of the end for Bin Laden and Saddham Hussein then was the election of Barack Osama in 2008 and now this year will ring in at least as dramatically as those pivotal turning points.
How the major planetary alignments scheduled for this year will affect each of us individually largely depends upon our own personal destiny as indicated by the positions of the planets in our own Natal Charts. Below I offer an overview for each Zodiac Sign for the year and each week I bring closer emphasis to immediate cycles and themes against the backdrop of the larger. Yet, if you would like to truly gain more clarity on how these aspects stand to activate changes in your life, I invite you to contact me to set up a personal appointment which can be done by phone. All readings are recorded for you. My rates are very competitive largely because I believe that Astrology offers invaluable insight into who we are where we are coming from, where we are going to by virtue of the various aspects of our destiny, what is going on now and what dynamic shifts and changes are soon to occur and I want to make if affordable and accessible to everyone. Astrology is truly a divine science and the term has more to do with the evolutionary themes of our life that it does with mere fortune telling. My goal therefore is to assist you to be more conscious and aware of who you are and where you are at in your journey both for your own fulfillment and for the greater good. |
