Your 2009 Advanced Forecast begins on the next page. If the time period for an interpretation is, for example, given as "July 1, 2009 (June 15, 2009 to July 15, 2009)", then it starts in mid-June, reaches greatest intensity around July 1, and ends in mid-July. The first date listed is the time when the influence has reached maximum strength; we can call this date the "peak date". The influence starts on the beginning date, gradually increases in strength until the peak date is reached, and then it gradually fades out until the ending date is reached. An influence may last for as little as a few days to as long as half a year or so.

You may also notice that the same interpretation shows up periodically during the year; this is not unusual. In some cases the beginning and ending dates of the 2 influences are the same; the only difference between the 2 interpretations is the peak date. This means that this particular influence has two peak dates instead of one. It is even possible for there to be three or more peak dates for the same astrological influence. To eliminate redundant interpretations, you may be informed that the astrological influence also occurred earlier and that you should refer back to the previous occurrence of this interpretation.

You may be wondering what the abbreviations after the dates are. For example, you may see "Sat Conj Plu", "Ura Trine Nep", etc. These abbreviations are given for the benefit of astrologers and they show the astrological factor that is in effect.

We hope you enjoy your Advanced Forecast. For the benefit of astrologers, some technical details are given below.

Dec 22, 2008 (Dec 20, 2008 to Jan 24, 2009) Mars 11th H.

You may play a leadership role in a group or organization that you are affiliated with or take some initiative in a group situation. You are fired up about your ideals and can stir others to action. Team sports and group efforts of any kind appeal to you now.

Dec 26, 2008 (Dec 25, 2008 to Mar 2, 2009) Merc 12th H.

This is a good time for quiet study and inward reflection. Your intuition and sensitivity to the hidden, behind the scenes aspects of a situation are operating strongly now. However, you are less inclined to speak your mind or take a definite stand on important matters. A wait-and-see attitude is likely to characterize this time period.

Dec 26, 2008 (Dec 25, 2008 to Feb 1, 2009) Ven 1st H.

Your desire for harmony, beauty, and gracious surroundings is stronger than usual and you avoid unpleasantness as much as possible. You're inclined to use charm, gentle coaxing, and loving persuasion rather than more direct, forceful methods to get what you want. At this time, pleasure and affection are more important to you than work, and you may be rather lazy, but pleasantly and cheerfully so.

Jan 5, 2009 (Nov 21, 2008 to Feb 2, 2009)Nep Qucnx Mars

A period of confusion in which you vacillate between definite action on your own behalf and passivity, weakness, and inaction is indicated. At worst, treachery, dangerous deceptions, and tragic miscalculations or risks are possible. Be certain that all of your actions are as aboveboard and unambiguously honest as possible, and beware of others whose promotional schemes may not be.

Problems with allergies, infections, or a compromised immune system are possible, so that it seems you pick up every virus that comes around. Avoid forcing yourself past your limits or dissipating your energy in any way.

Jan 11, 2009 (Jan 10, 2009 to Feb 9, 2009) Sun 12th H.

Retreating from the world for awhile and spending some quiet time alone to relax and rejuvenate appeals strongly to you now. You may feel like you are at a low ebb and as if nothing is happening or you may simply not want to be "where the action is". Competitive ambitions and ego drives are on hold now.

Jan 14, 2009 (Jan 6, 2009 to Jan 23, 2009) pal conj moon

You have increased intuitive awareness at this time. Your creative imagination is abundant, and any artistic, inventive, or academic pursuits can be profitable during this period. The inner, feminine principles in you emerge through the expression of your talents, especially in your domestic environment. For example, you may want to create warm feelings and satisfy the emotional needs in your family by offering food, comfort, and support.

Women may provide helpful advice to you and can also be advocates for your ideas and projects. Relations with others are fruitful, productive, and inspiring for your inner needs. This is a good time to establish intimate relationships based on trust, goodwill, and harmonious feelings.

Jan 16, 2009 (Dec 19, 2008 to Feb 19, 2009)Plu Oppos Ven

Romance and sexuality are the key issues now. Your sexual drive is particularly strong now, and you are driven by a strong need to achieve a deeper level of fulfillment in your love relationships. At times during this time period you are not able to constrain your compulsive feelings, and you are prone to dispense with reason, logic, rational judgment, ethics, and taboos.

If you are not married or deeply involved with someone, it is likely that a love relationship will begin now. However, because your romantic and sexual drives are so strong, you may allow yourself to become involved with someone that you find attractive but are not compatible with on an intellectual level and with whom you share few interests and tastes. Try not to settle for this kind of compromise in your love relationships because you will later be faced with the predicament of unraveling the bonds you have formed, which is likely to be more difficult than you would imagine now.

If you are married or deeply involved with someone, then your relationship will undergo some changes now. There may be many changes, but typically, one of the following changes occurs in either or both of you: more demanding and less easily satisfied with the other person, more romantic, more flirtatious, less conventional, and more possessive. Issues of jealousy and possessiveness are likely to arise. The nature of the issues and changes that arise now depends on the changes needed in the relationship. Underlying all of these changes is the need for greater closeness and greater romantic and sexual fulfillment. The emotions and drives that arise now usually arise without any apparent reason. This is a time of compulsive and irrational emotional drives! Avoid the tendency to be secretive. You may try to hide your feelings, repress your feelings, or develop extramarital affairs without your spouse's knowledge. Lying and hiding things from others only builds another layer of complexity onto the complex feelings that you are dealing with, and you will eventually regret your lack of honesty and openness.

Jan 19, 2009 5 AM(Jan 18, 2009 to Jan 20, 2009)Merc Oppos Merc

Exchanging information, ideas, and opinions plays an important role in your life now. A significant conversation with someone who has a very different attitude or perspective than your own is likely. Try to be receptive and learn as much as you can from others at this time. Also, mental curiosity or restlessness impels you to get out and about, perhaps take a short trip or visit.

Jan 19, 2009 3 PM(Jan 18, 2009 to Jan 20, 2009)Merc Qucnx Ven

Misunderstandings with a friend or someone you are usually in harmony with are likely to arise now, especially if you feel you are being taken for granted. You are more acutely aware of differences in style, taste, or values. You will want your personal preferences to be appreciated and taken into account.

Jan 20, 2009 12 AM(Jan 19, 2009 to Jan 21, 2009)Merc Sxtil MC

Making decisions or long-range plans is favored now. Your judgment is sound. Making worthwhile professional contacts, reaching out to others who can help you in your work, and taking care of business in an orderly, clear way are also likely.

Jan 20, 2009 (Jan 15, 2009 to Jan 24, 2009)Jup Trine Moon

Your mood is easygoing, agreeable, and tolerant at this time. In fact, you may feel downright lazy! Lounging around at home and relaxing or perhaps unwinding at the beach or lake appeals to you. If you are normally very high-strung, then take advantage of this time to recuperate, relax, and rejuvenate. If you normally tend to be lethargic, then try to maintain at least a modest activity level by going for walks or bicycling, for example, during this time period.

At the least, this will be a pleasant time for you. Harmonious, pleasant relationships and surroundings seem to just "fall in your lap". Otherwise, the astrological influence at work here does not promise to make this a particularly eventful time (unless, of course, other astrological influences augment this one).

Jan 20, 2009 9 AM(Jan 19, 2009 to Jan 21, 2009)Merc Conj Jup

This is a time for making long-range plans, seeing the big picture, and thinking about what is really important to you in the long run. The trivial details and business of day-to-day living does not dominate your attention now. Reading books or articles of an inspirational nature or on subjects of personal growth and development is very fruitful now. This is also an excellent time for business functions, negotiations, and communicating with the world at large.

Jan 20, 2009 9 AM(Jan 19, 2009 to Jan 21, 2009)Sun Sxtil Juno

Relationship or marital harmony is accented now. A partner is understanding, supportive, and affectionate. This is a good time to let your mate know you are available to play and have fun together. Creative pastimes and recreational activities shared with your mate are likely at this time. If you are single or currently unattached, you can be easily enchanted by someone who is very charming and sophisticated. A new relationship which begins now can be quite delightful and would help boost your confidence.

Jan 20, 2009 12 PM(Jan 19, 2009 to Jan 21, 2009)Merc Sxtil Juno

Pleasant interactions with your romantic or marriage partner helps strengthen bonds of affection at this time. You may be doing a lot of thinking about your relationship and may even feel inclined to discuss issues of commitment, loyalty, and trustworthiness with your mate. The activities you share with your spouse or loved one may center around intellectual interests and pursuits as well. If you are currently unattached, be on the lookout for meeting new romantic prospects through relatives, siblings, neighbors, or business associates.

Jan 20, 2009 2 PM(Jan 19, 2009 to Jan 21, 2009) Sun Conj Jup

You feel expansive, enthusiastic, and optimistic now. You want to reach out, do more and experience more. You benefit greatly from the opportunities that present themselves at this time, and a person who will be very influential and helpful to you may come into your life.

Jan 21, 2009 12 AM(Jan 20, 2009 to Jan 22, 2009) Sun Sxtil MC

Your long-range goals, life direction, or career aims come into focus now. You gain clarity or a stronger sense of purpose, which energizes your efforts to get ahead or move toward what you really want.

Recognition or support from your superiors or others who are in a position to assist you is likely now, especially if you take some initiative.

Jan 21, 2009 12 PM(Jan 20, 2009 to Jan 22, 2009)Sun Qucnx Ven

Right now, you are prone to feel vaguely dissatisfied with your personal life, especially the romantic side of it. In social situations, there is an uneasiness, clumsiness, or perhaps some sort of minor embarrassment or faux pas on your part. If you do artistic or creative work, you may be more critical of it than usual, feel that it is not well received or appreciated, or simply feel a little dry and uninspired. Without realizing it, you are probably censoring yourself. Accepting imperfection and being patient in both the creative and the romantic aspects of your life will be necessary.

Jan 22, 2009 1 AM(Jan 21, 2009 to Jan 23, 2009)Sun Oppos Merc

Conversations, negotiations, meetings, responding to letters and phone calls, and communications of all kinds are important activities now. A significant discussion or exchange of information is likely. This is a good time to get the views of someone you respect.

Jan 23, 2009 12 AM(Jan 21, 2009 to Jan 24, 2009)Mars Trine Ceres

Strengthening ties with your loved ones is very gratifying to you at this time. Domestic matters may involve new activities, sports, hobbies, or creative ventures shared with those you care about. Your energy level affords you with enough stamina to carry out your family obligations. You are protective, supportive, and a strong source of guidance to children and loved ones. You may be an active participant in recreation or educational events of children at this time.

Jan 23, 2009 3 AM(Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 24, 2009)Sun Trine Moon

At this time you enjoy emotional satisfaction and harmony in your home life. Relationships with women run smoothly. If you have a solid emotional base in your life, you will receive the benefits of that. If not, this is a good time to begin making connections with people and also to discover what gives real emotional nourishment and fulfillment.

Jan 23, 2009 5 AM(Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 24, 2009)Ven Sxtil Ceres

Love and nurturing are the themes in your domestic environment at this time. Whether socializing or staying at home with family, you enjoy warm companionship and greater emotional connections. You feel an urge to please your loved ones now and show your concern for them through a caring and supportive attitude. Opportunities for a new romantic interest is favored at this time, as others are attracted to the love and joy you radiate.

Jan 23, 2009 (Jan 20, 2009 to Jan 25, 2009)Juno Conj Jup

There may be an abundance of love, faith and trust in your marriage or close intimate partnership at this time. If there are any improvements you want to make in your relationship, this would be an opportune time to do so. At this time, you will have more insight into the spiritual or religious attitudes and values in your relationship. There can be a desire to travel or enjoy outdoor activities with your mate. You may spend a great deal of time thinking about the future possibilities of being together and reflecting on all the big dreams and plans for tomorrow. If you have been discussing marriage with your partner, this period can signify the time when a legal commitment is entered into. Or if you are separated from your mate, this can be a favorable time to work on reconciling your differences.

If you are uninvolved in a relationship now, you may meet someone through travel or educational, religious or professional activities or perhaps a lucky coincidence. In any case, you are optimistic and sociable, thereby welcoming a new partner with open arms.

Jan 24, 2009 (Jan 23, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Mars 12th H.

At this time, you're likely to feel that you cannot make your desires or influence felt, and that things go awry when you try to assert yourself, make an impact, or get things done in a forthright way. Retreating from confrontation and allowing matters to take their own course may well be the best path now. Though not the most auspicious time to act on your own behalf, this is a good time to do things that benefit others. Selfless work is likely to be the most satisfying avenue for you now.

Jan 24, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009)Juno Sxtil MC

Your marriage partner or mate is supportive and appreciative of your career goals and objectives. If you receive recognition or rewards for your work efforts, it will have a beneficial effect upon your relationship. The image you portray as a couple appears to others as united and committed. You will greatly reinforce each other's confidence during this phase, enabling both of you to evolve in the outside world.

This is a favorable period for engagements, marriage, births, or beginning a new love relationship. If you are unattached, you may develop an important relationship through business or professional involvements.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Jan 24, 2009 11 PM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009)Merc Conj Sat

You have a very realistic and no-nonsense attitude at this time and are rather critical, skeptical, or at the very least, cautious about new ideas. Deep, quiet study and solitary reflection is favored. You are more taciturn and uncommunicative than usual and don't feel very social. If you are with others, you are likely to turn the discussions into something heavy and serious. Frivolity holds no appeal for you now.

Jan 25, 2009 12 AM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009)Merc Qucnx Ura

You tend to be tense, "wired", on edge, a bit nervous or jumpy, and you will need to take a little time to breathe deeply and settle yourself. The pace of the day may make this difficult, however. You are apt to be too quick to respond or respond inappropriately to questions, tests, quizzes, etc. If you consciously slow down, you will do a lot better.

Jan 25, 2009 6 AM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009)Merc Trine Vesta

You may find your interests turning to matters of work and professional endeavors. You may feel an increased sense of responsibility and are more inclined to follow through on job commitments and obligations. This is a good time to take advantage of opportunities which offer greater success and prosperity in your vocation. You may be blessed with recognition and praise for your work efforts, as well as better cooperation from your peers. This period also favors the signing of documents, contracts, or agreements in both personal and business endeavors.

Jan 25, 2009 1 PM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009)Ven Oppos Mars

Relationships with the opposite sex are intensified now. You experience strong feelings of attraction and desire and, if you are unhappy in your sexual life, you can be very tense and angry "for no reason" now. You may be tempted to act on an infatuation.

Jan 25, 2009 (Jan 23, 2009 to Jan 28, 2009)Juno Qucnx Ven

A spouse or mate may be unavailable when you need them the most. If you are married or in a committed partnership, you will be forced to think deeply about the level of stability and security in your relationship. Aside from emotional concerns, there may be some financial worries which arise at this time. Events which occur during this period tend to disrupt and challenge your values and faith in the partnership. This period will demand that you modify your current behavior and the manner in which you relate to your spouse or mate. If you do not make adjustments now, then you may have to pay the price at a later date for any jealousy, manipulation, or distrust on your part. In order to achieve comfort and intimacy with your loved one now, you must release any insecurities and fears you have about the relationship and develop more positive ways to relate.

Jan 25, 2009 8 PM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 27, 2009)Mars Trine Mars

Self-confidence, physical energy, and courage run high, so this is a fine time to undertake any project or challenge that confronts you, especially if it involves competition or asserting yourself vigorously. You are inclined to take charge or assume a leadership role at this time.

Jan 25, 2009 11 PM(Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 27, 2009)Merc Sxtil Pal

This period can bring cordial and amicable relations with the people in your daily environment. You may be in agreement with others on basic issues and enjoy friendly discussions and lively conversations. Take advantage of an opportunity to network with people on a similar interest, hobby, or creative or business endeavor. A close friend or family member may give you advice which could be worth listening to at this time. Your own intuition should not be ignored, as following your instincts might be able to open some new doors as well.

Jan 26, 2009 2 PM(Jan 25, 2009 to Jan 27, 2009)Sun Qucnx Plu

Past mistakes, infringements, or secrets come back to haunt you now, but you may feel that your hands are tied in any attempt to rectify these matters. Areas or relationships in which you have misused authority and control cause distress at this time. While direct action to resolve or balance these problems may not be possible, you must be aware of what is going on, lest an unconscious collusion on your part contributes to the situation. Avoid either the victim's or the tyrant's role.

Jan 27, 2009 (Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009)Juno Oppos Merc

Channels of communication with a mate or spouse can be blocked at this time. During this period, you may find it difficult to share your ideas and opinions with your marriage partner or other loved one. Even if there is a strong bond of love in your partnership, you may hold back in expressing your thoughts and feelings because you are afraid your mate will react with criticism or coldness. Misunderstandings or a breakdown in communication with your mate is likely at this time. If you speak to your loved one with courtesy and fairness now, then you should be able to experience less serious disagreements. On another level entirely, there may be concerns over your partner's health or work. Interference from brothers, sisters or other relatives can cause additional disturbances in your marriage or love relationship.

During this period, if you are not seriously involved in a love relationship, you may meet someone who is restless, flaky, or changeable. Or a new relationship may have trouble getting off the ground because of too much superficial communication between you. In either case, there may be obvious differences of opinion and expectations that need to be addressed.

Jan 27, 2009 12 PM(Jan 26, 2009 to Jan 28, 2009) Ven Conj Pal

A new love affair may begin now or a current relationship become strengthened, more well-balanced, and cooperative. Warmth, harmony, and contentment are indicated in romantic and social relationships. You desire to establish peace and tranquility in your closest partnerships, and you can persuade a mate, loved one, or friend to follow in your footsteps. Creative or cultural pursuits are very rewarding now. You can have a greater understanding of patterns and designs, are likely to be highly responsive to music, and more appreciative of the beauty and colors in your surroundings.

Jan 28, 2009 5 AM(Jan 26, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009)Mars Sxtil Pal

You benefit through putting your mind, talents, and skills to good use in business, intellectual, or creative endeavors at this time. You can take bold steps to improve upon your strategies, planning, and methods of operation at work or in a creative field. An assertive, yet diplomatic, attitude increases your chance of harmonizing your intentions and objectives with people of similar ambitions. Additionally, others are much more responsive and alert to your ideas and insights at this time.

Jan 28, 2009 5 AM(Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009)Ven Sxtil Vesta

Your focus is on love or a primary romantic relationship at this time. An enthusiastic or wholehearted approach to your partnership is one way in which you will express your feelings to a mate or lover. You may give the impression now that you are seeking more fulfillment, commitment, stability, and teamwork in love relationships. You will go that extra mile to insure that you can be relied upon to deliver any promises, pledges, or obligations in the partnership. If you are unattached at the present time, you may attract a new love interest or search earnestly for a meaningful relationship. Also, this period can bring an increased need for security in both job-related and financial affairs.

Jan 28, 2009 5 AM(Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009) Sun Sqr Nep

Confusion, inability to focus on mundane tasks, poor understanding or miscommunication between yourself and others, and the desire to evade real responsibilities and challenges are negative potentials for you now. You are more sensitive, impressionable, dreamy, or idealistic at this time also.

Jan 28, 2009 12 PM(Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009)Ven Qucnx Ura

You find it stressful to balance needs for freedom and independence with needs for love and intimate companionship. You really behave quite oddly or aloof right now which will put others off considerably thus affording you the space you need, but at a cost. You are also attracted to the exotic, offbeat, unusual, or bizarre at this time. People or things which might offend your senses at other times now arouse your appreciation and interest. This will not be a boring time if you can help it! But it is apt to be a tense time if you are in a close, bonded relationship.

Jan 28, 2009 1 PM(Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009)Ven Sxtil Sat

You are feeling sober and realistic about love at this time, and are interested in being with people you respect and can depend upon - your oldest, true-blue friends. Also, reaching out to an older relative or another mature, experienced person can mean a lot to you and be mutually beneficial now.

Jan 28, 2009 3 PM(Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009)Merc Trine Mars

This is a good time to assert your own needs and desires, to communicate to others what you really want. You are sharp, clear, decisive, and articulate. You can't stand being idle now; you are ready for challenging, intellectual activities and attacking difficult problems on the job.

Jan 29, 2009 1 AM(Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009)Mars Trine Vesta

You can be very dedicated and loyal toward your work and/or family responsibilities at this time. You may be able to do much now to eliminate negative influences in both the home and job environment by displaying more reliability and willingness to perform your duties and obligations. Although you may get more accomplished by working alone rather than with others now, it is important to develop useful connections with people who can help you build on your ambitions or stimulate you to pursue your goals. In addition, you are capable of putting so much of your energies into either a significant relationship or a work endeavor that you neglect some of your own private needs. Give yourself enough playtime as well as sufficient rest in order to rejuvenate your spirits and your energy.

Jan 29, 2009 8 AM(Jan 28, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009)Mars Qucnx Ura

You act very impulsively and may do something spontaneously that really upsets the status quo in your life. Daring and reckless, you act with fierce independence. All manner of accidents could result from this rash foolishness. You are apt to feel tense, "wired", cross, or out of control. You might wish to avoid traveling at this time.

Jan 29, 2009 10 AM(Jan 28, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009)Mars Conj Sat

This is a time to rely only on yourself and your own resources, gather in your scattered forces, and concentrate on your own work. You may meet numerous obstructions and delays so that you don't accomplish as much or work as quickly as you would like. You can, however, do a very thorough job and also tackle the kind of difficult or disagreeable tasks you usually avoid. You are prone to feel frustrated and to resent the limitations or drudgery of this time period. Perseverance and patient effort are required of you now. Try to avoid becoming discouraged or lashing out at the ones you are responsible for.

Jan 29, 2009 (Jan 27, 2009 to Feb 1, 2009)Juno Trine Moon

This period brings about pleasant feelings between you and your mate. Your relationship will be emotionally satisfying to you, and there will be opportunities to grow closer to each other through expressing your deepest inner feelings. Although there is a protective quality about the relationship now, you can rely upon your partner to be trustworthy, devoted and appreciative toward you. You are attracted to the more traditional, committed style of companionship and may prefer to spend time with your mate in a secure and comfortable domestic environment.

Jan 30, 2009 (Nov 16, 2008 to Feb 15, 2009)Sat Qucnx Asc

You find yourself pulling away from people at this time and, even if you tell yourself you want to form or maintain a close relationship, you have some difficulty doing so. It is hard to put your best foot forward right now; all of your flaws or insecurities seem right at the surface.

On another level, you may feel something or someone in your environment is blocking, interfering, delaying, or pressuring you in ways that are difficult to address or rectify at the present moment. Patience, steadiness, perseverance, and forbearance may well be the only way to meet these challenges.

Try to avoid a negative, pessimistic, or self-pitying attitude, too. If you cannot maintain a positive momentum, at least have the grace not to blame other people or yourself. Whatever frustrations occur can help you define or redefine things in your life, especially in your relations with others.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Jan 30, 2009 (Jan 5, 2009 to Feb 19, 2009)Ura Sxtil Ceres

During this time you may seek ways to refresh and stimulate your love and domestic relationships. You may relate to loved ones in a more liberal and carefree manner. In addition, you tend to encourage your children, mate, or family members to search for ways to express their individuality and independence. It is likely you will find it easier to reform or change certain routines, responsibilities, and obligations which infringe on your own personal time, as well. This is also a good time to eliminate emotional dependencies or unhealthy and smothering behavior in your relationships.

Feb 1, 2009 2 AM(Jan 31, 2009 to Feb 2, 2009) Sun Oppos Sun

This is a time to get others' opinions and feedback about yourself and what you are doing. Relationships of all types are activated now and cooperation, compromise, and adjustments to others' viewpoints are key issues that require your attention. You may come into contact with a person who is especially creative or influential in your life.

Feb 1, 2009 (Jan 31, 2009 to June 9, 2009) Ven 2nd H.

You may be very tempted to spend lavishly on special treats that will make your life more comfortable and pleasant, and frivolous purchases may be hard to resist. This is a fine time, however, to buy art, jewelry, or other beautiful things which will increase in value and be appreciated for a long time to come.

Feb 2, 2009 (Jan 3, 2009 to July 19, 2009)Plu Qucnx Merc

Many of your mental habits and attitudes, concepts, intellectual beliefs, and thinking patterns are severely tested and could shatter under the impact of new understanding or information. You may be forced to see and acknowledge something that is highly disagreeable, threatening, or unbelievable to you. Try to avoid extremist positions, dogmatic thinking, or fanatical propaganda. You may run into some extremely opinionated and/or charismatic "teachers" who seek to influence you unduly. Tricks played on your mind or brainwashing in any form should be strictly avoided.

Do whatever you can to alleviate stress in your environment and nervous system. You may require a bit more solitude than usual to keep yourself in balance.

Feb 3, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009)Vesta Trine Plu

This is a favorable time for making changes in your professional and personal life in order to have greater control and to advance your ambitions. You can work well with a group or team effort to cooperate on common goals, or even work in solitude on a long-held or passionate interest that you want to develop. Your will and better judgment guides you to work on productive activities which create opportunities for growth or power. This can be a period of exciting transition in your work endeavors or personal interests where you can discover what you truly find meaningful and important. Changes that take place in your personal life may increase your awareness of the need to heal past issues and distribute power more equally in your relationships.

Feb 3, 2009 6 PM(Feb 2, 2009 to Feb 4, 2009) Ven Conj Juno

You may look forward to an increase in love and appreciation, reciprocated feelings, and commitment in a close romantic relationship or marriage. Whether you are already married, involved in a serious partnership, or beginning a new love affair, you can become quite firmly attached to your mate or lover at this time. Promising developments can bring a new burst of social activity which may set off all kinds of new romantic or pleasurable opportunities as well. The prospects for harmony, cooperation, and rapport within your love relationship is greatly enhanced. You may be in the mood to intensify a long-standing relationship or to begin a new one at this time.

Feb 4, 2009 12 AM(Feb 2, 2009 to Feb 5, 2009) Ven Sxtil Jup

Both friendship and material benefits may well come to you at this time. You feel very sociable and gregarious and seek conviviality, especially with people who really know how to have a good time. Charitable and philanthropic impulses are stronger now, also, and should be followed with positive action on your part.

Feb 4, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 8, 2009) Jup Qucnx Plu

Dogmatism and excessive fervor for a particular philosophy, belief system, or transformational growth experience are definite possibilities for you now. You may meet a person or group that has such a tone to it or experience this fervor yourself. Trouble with authorities (church or government) or legal difficulties are also indicated at this time, particularly if you have been excessive in any way in the period leading up to the present.

Feb 4, 2009 1 PM(Feb 3, 2009 to Feb 5, 2009) Ven Trine MC

Your friendly concern for others and your willingness to meet people half way benefits your career, reputation, or public image at this time. This is a favorable time to socialize with people you have professional ties with since the positive feelings you generate now are likely to be an aid to you in the future. Beautifying the place where you meet the public and an increased concern about your own physical appearance are also brought out now.

Feb 4, 2009 8 PM(Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009)Merc Trine Mars

This astrological influence (Merc Trine Mars) also occurred on Jan 28, 2009 (peak date). Please refer to this date.

Feb 5, 2009 4 AM(Feb 3, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009) Ven Sqr Ven

What occurs now makes you more aware of what you need, feel, and want in your relationships. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this is brought out now, and you'll need to face what is causing your dissatisfaction. Differences in personal style, tastes, and ways of expressing affection may emerge. You also feel amorous and loving and, if your personal life is going well, this is a time to really enjoy and appreciate it.

Feb 5, 2009 7 AM(Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009)Mars Sxtil Juno

Love and marital relationships are accented now. You will gain more satisfaction and self-gratification through a committed and enduring partnership at this time. Directing your energies and enthusiasm into your marriage or a significant love affair can work wonders now, as it will help to improve affectionate relating, loyalty, and emotional attachment to your mate. You may also feel irresistibly drawn to seek out new experiences or pleasurable adventures with your partner. If you find any new activities which are compatible to both of you, this is a good time to share in the enjoyment.

Feb 5, 2009 2 PM(Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 6, 2009) Mars Conj Jup

This is an excellent time to begin a new business enterprise or any new venture. You have the drive and courage to make your vision a reality. You feel great physically, and your confidence and optimism are high, so whatever you attempt now is likely to succeed.

Feb 5, 2009 8 PM(Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 7, 2009) Ven Trine Merc

This is a good time to schedule social activities or even business meetings where tact and friendliness would be a plus. You act as a diplomat and harmonizer between people with differing viewpoints. Also, attending cultural events such as an art show or a play is favored. Thoughts of love, an appreciation for beauty, and an aesthetic enjoyment of your surroundings are brought to the fore. A short pleasure trip would also be beneficial now.

Feb 6, 2009 3 AM(Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 7, 2009) Mars Sxtil MC

Working energetically with a clear objective in mind, advancing your own professional goals, and enlisting others' support for your projects by acting as a leader are key issues now. Your superiors and others in authority respond favorably to your confidence and your willingness to take a risk or attack a problem in a new way.

Feb 6, 2009 7 PM(Feb 5, 2009 to Feb 8, 2009) Mars Qucnx Ven

Ambivalence or disagreeableness in a close relationship arises now. An old friend or lover who is rather disturbing to your peace of mind may contact you, or you may feel uncertain about where you are going in a particular relationship.

You may aggravate or pick at a friend or loved one in the misguided belief that you can change things. At this point, however, it is unlikely that your words or actions will create happiness or the desired outcome. Try to be good natured about any differences that are apparent to you now, and let it pass.

Feb 6, 2009 (Feb 2, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009) Pal Sqr Plu

It requires great determination and effort on your part to bring your artistic, creative and intellectual potential into actuality. Circumstances beyond your control tend to discourage you from achieving your goals and interfere with your ability to persuade others to approve of your intentions and goals. Concerns over investments, insurance, taxes and inheritances may involve thorough evaluation and research or they can cause setbacks to your progress. You can become distressed or bothered by your own or someone else's compulsive or obsessive thinking.

It is advisable not to make any drastic changes in your joint endeavors with other individuals, as confrontations and power struggles will likely surface.

Feb 7, 2009 6 AM(Feb 5, 2009 to Feb 8, 2009) Ven Sxtil Moon

This is an excellent time to have company or to give a party at your home. You are feeling hospitable and loving and need to share comfort and affection with close friends and family. Home improvements or beautifying your surroundings in some way is also favored now.

Feb 7, 2009 (Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 9, 2009) Juno Qucnx Plu

This is a good time to heal and cleanse your marriage or committed love relationship. If you have been trying to come to terms with past hurts and fears in the partnership, then this would be a favorable period to work on releasing negative emotions which are not allowing both of you to develop a greater bond and involvement. Otherwise, if you choose not to make any alterations, deep buried emotions may surface, causing tension and discord in the marriage or partnership. Sometimes, it is your partner who may be instigating changes, and you find yourself having to deal with the consequences of their actions. It would be best to be honest and open in all emotional and physical interactions with your mate, clearing the way for better understanding and trust in the relationship.

Feb 7, 2009 12 PM(Feb 6, 2009 to Feb 8, 2009)Mars Oppos Merc

You are inclined to jump to conclusions at this time and to rashly say and do things which you may regret later. You may suddenly decide to act on some idea or plan you have been considering, which can be good as long as you don't move so abruptly and quickly that you override other people's say in the matter. At this time, too, you are quite sharp and possibly sarcastic, which can create unnecessary hard feelings or opposition to your plans.

Feb 7, 2009 (Jan 25, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009) Chi Conj Asc

This is a time when you will try anything to liberate yourself from prior attitudes of self-doubt and insecurity. You undertake a new direction or take decisive action to overcome personal problems which have denied you wholeness and well-being. Once you come to grips with what has troubled you, you search for something extraordinary to make you feel special and significant. This can make the people in your surroundings uncomfortable as they sense your views and convictions are quite different from your usual stance. Although you may appear to be in disagreement or uncooperative with those around you, you are simply afraid of being trapped in a situation where you have little choice but to comply to demands and expectations. Therefore, you follow the path where you have many diverse options, rather than be guided by the suggestions or opinions of others.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Feb 8, 2009 8 PM(Feb 7, 2009 to Feb 9, 2009) Sun Sqr Ceres

Taking care of others now seems like a burden. Unreasonable demands of your time and energy leave you feeling somewhat like a pushover. Your flexibility will be tested now as domestic matters become pressure-packed. You may have to deal with criticism regarding the way you handle your obligations and domestic responsibilities. Your loyalties can be divided between your children and spouse, one or the other getting more of your attention at this time. Before you can spend time with your own independent pursuits, you may be tied down to fulfilling your duties at home.

Feb 8, 2009 (Feb 5, 2009 to Feb 12, 2009)Vesta Oppos Nep

Confusion regarding your work duties and responsibilities can interfere with your job performance. There is a tendency to be disillusioned or disappointed with work conditions, activities, and individuals in your professional environment. For example, you may be subjected to criticism from others if your work methods are inefficient or impractical. Or it may require a struggle to bring creative ideas and mental focus to your job. It is also likely you will vacillate between impassioned effort and passive indifference toward your daily chores. You might feel a need to retreat or withdraw from working closely with other people for fear of being victimized or becoming overly dependent upon them. Your imagination can run wild, so be sure you have listened attentively to others before you make any assumptions. You must try to sort your way out of this confusing period by remaining levelheaded and concentrating more fully on realistic goals and directions in work assignments.

Feb 8, 2009 10 PM(Feb 7, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009)Mars Trine Moon

Your feelings run hot now, and you are more likely to act on instinct, emotion, and impulse rather than reason. Your responses to life are passionate and also more natural, childlike, and direct. High-spirited physical play, lovemaking, or any activity that really involves you emotionally, such as a rock concert or a rousing football game, will be very gratifying to you now.

Feb 9, 2009 10 AM(Feb 8, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009) Sun Conj Asc

This is a time for you to shine! You have an extra measure of energy and confidence now and will make a strong impression on those in your environment. This is a very good time to go for a job interview, meet the public, or simply go out and be seen. You will be noticed more than usual.

This is also a good time to begin something new, to initiate a relationship or project you may have been considering.

Feb 9, 2009 (Feb 8, 2009 to Mar 19, 2009) Sun 1st H.

During this time you can make a strong statement to the world about who you are and your presence has a more noticeable effect upon the people in your environment. If you want to make an impression on others, now is a fine time to do so. People recognize you and are likely to follow your lead, or at least they stay out of your way more readily than usual. You are likely to feel more confident and vital now.

However, you may be so preoccupied with yourself and your own desires that you unintentionally ignore other people and their needs.

Feb 9, 2009 (Jan 20, 2009 to Feb 23, 2009)Sat Trine Ceres

You feel a greater responsibility toward loved ones and family members during this time. You can concentrate on organizing daily affairs, children's interests, or parental duties with more efficiency and order. Mutual cooperation and emotional support in family matters is a likelihood now, and this will enrich and nourish your relationships with loved ones. You will want to encourage and strengthen family values, traditions, and commitment and may use gentle discipline and guidance as a means of protecting those in your care. Domestic relationships should prove quite stable and predictable during this period.

Feb 10, 2009 11 PM(Feb 9, 2009 to Feb 11, 2009)Sun Qucnx Mars

You are more prone to vexation and aggravation right now, especially in traffic or in some area of your life that you are trying to get ahead in. Accidents due to trying to force a situation, ignoring safety precautions, hurrying, or anger need to be guarded against. You are apt to feel that you have no outlets or means of expressing your anger or aggressive impulses, and right now that is probably true. Standing your ground and insisting upon your rights or your position only leads to unnecessary friction and bad blood, with no clear winner or loser emerging. Either transcending or letting go of your frustration is really the only way out at this time.

Feb 11, 2009 (Feb 6, 2009 to Feb 15, 2009) Jup Sqr Nep

Your imagination runs wild during this time period! You are attracted to any kind of fantasy, mysticism, or imaginative work. Of course, the extent to which this affects you and the precise ways it manifests depends largely on your own personal tastes and inclinations in these matters. But regardless of your temperament, your imagination will soar at this time.

Many people find that they simply must travel under this astrological influence. The same, everyday environment and routine is exceedingly irksome, and a more exotic, imaginative setting is needed. Some people will find an outlet in fantasy and science fiction. Others feel a tremendous surge of religious or spiritual inspiration at this time. You probably will notice all of these tendencies at work.

Spread your wings and let your imagination soar. One negative possibility is that you can become negligent, absent-minded, and unreliable. If you have customers, clients, family members, employees, or employers who depend on you, make sure that you do not leave them empty-handed and wondering where you are while you fly off into the sunset!

Feb 11, 2009 (Feb 8, 2009 to Feb 13, 2009) Juno Sqr Nep

There is the possibility for misunderstandings and disappointments in your marriage or love relationship. If you or your partner have been keeping your true feelings and thoughts hidden from each other, it will only add to the confusion and doubt that already exists at this time. Be sure that you are relating to your partner as a "real" person and not to an imaginary ideal that you have dreamed up. This is especially true if you are involved in a new relationship. If you are married or have a significant other, you may sacrifice on behalf of peace and harmony, only to discover later on that you have avoided dealing with the practical issues and real problems in the relationship.

Feb 12, 2009 4 AM(Feb 10, 2009 to Feb 13, 2009)Ven Qucnx Plu

Fateful encounters which are not altogether pleasant are indicated. If you are in an established intimate relationship, it is apt to be rough sailing right now. Ultimatums, bringing up past pain and unresolved issues, jealousy, or unusual neediness or possessiveness may all be part of the scenario, and what makes all of this quite stressful is that most of it is not blatant but subtle and insidious. Indiscretion and poor judgment in matters of the heart need to be guarded against.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 9, 2009 to Feb 16, 2009) Pal Qucnx Nep

Hidden factors or behind the scene events that you are unaware of can interfere with your ability to make good judgments and sound decisions. For example, you may be receiving information from a co-worker or source that is incorrect, unreliable or deceitful but realize that you must complete the task. When the truth comes to light, you are the victim of misrepresentation and therefore your work efficiency is directly impaired. In general, this period requires you to adjust your plans by employing practical thinking and releasing thoughts which are unrealistic and unattainable.

Feb 13, 2009 10 AM(Feb 12, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009)Sun Sqr Vesta

You may find yourself at an impasse regarding a concern at work. Although a minor setback or delay is possible, you may do best now by maintaining a low profile. Conflicts of interest may arise between you and a superior or co-worker, leaving you feeling you do not get the respect or approval you seek. Your own leadership qualities may not be noticed or appreciated in ways that support your professional interests. Try not to assess your self-worth only on the basis of what you can accomplish at work now. Hold on to your self-confidence and take this time as an opportunity to gain further understanding of your vocational purposes and directions.

Feb 13, 2009 11 AM(Feb 12, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009)Mars Qucnx Plu

You are willfully resistant to any outside pressure, manipulation, or authority at this time. A fateful encounter with an adversary, one that can neither be avoided nor ignored, is indicated. You seesaw between taking forthright, direct action and using more covert, subtle methods. A desire to break down, destroy, or overthrow existing conditions is also a part of the picture. Be careful with sharp instruments or glass.

Feb 13, 2009 3 PM(Feb 12, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009)Sun Oppos Ura

Relationships go awry or at least take an unexpected turn. The need for more freedom, independence, or novelty on your part, or on the part of someone close to you, may disrupt the status quo in an important relationship. You may also come into contact with someone who is very different from yourself and who challenges, surprises, or upsets you. Expect the unexpected in your relationships!

Feb 14, 2009 4 PM(Feb 13, 2009 to Feb 16, 2009)Ven Qucnx Nep

Right now, you are apt to attract people whose helplessness evokes your pity and compassion. Your discrimination regarding others in general is less acute, and you could be taken advantage of. Your spiritual idealism or desire to help may be misguided or excessive. On another level, there may be indiscretions and/or disappointments in a close personal relationship.

This can be a very depleting and confusing time when you do not know exactly what you want or you do not feel strong, capable, or effective. Physically, you need to be gentle with yourself and take care not to dissipate your energy reserves. Your imagination can run wild now, and you want to act out a fantasy or strange desire - something you normally would have the good sense not to attempt. However, if you are an artist, this is a very inspired, fertile time for you.

It is easy for you to talk about your feelings now and also to listen sensitively to not only what others are saying but also what they are feeling. This is an excellent time to discuss your feelings and clear the air of any grievances you may be holding on to from the past. Your communication with women is especially good at this time.

Feb 18, 2009 (Feb 14, 2009 to Feb 23, 2009)Ceres Sxtil Nep

You seek deep involvement with family members and loved ones now. You feel compassionate toward your mate or children and have the desire to help them alleviate their fears or worries. During this period, you can offer the people you care about emotional support and inspirational love without requiring them to reciprocate in return. Your thoughts turn toward extending yourself to others who are disadvantaged or suffering hardship. You may offer them shelter, food, or comfort at this time, as your nurturing and healing qualities are brought to the surface. Volunteer or charity work in hospitals or institutions is favorable at this time.

Feb 19, 2009 3 PM(Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 20, 2009) Sun Sqr MC

You are at cross purposes with the people in your environment who are most able to benefit you. You tend to come on too strong, to be oblivious to others' needs and intentions, or to act inappropriately now. You feel an urgency to take positive steps to achieve your goals, but be certain that you are not overstepping yourself, as this can cause considerable enmity at this time.

Feb 20, 2009 3 AM(Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009)Sun Trine Ven

Giving and receiving appreciation, love, and happiness come into your life now. You are moved to express your affections more openly than usual. You also want to be surrounded with beauty and harmonious people, and your artistic efforts flourish.

Feb 20, 2009 12 PM(Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009)Merc Qucnx Plu

Your plans and ideas are subject to radical revisions, significant changes, and forced adjustments. Something you had counted on may suddenly disappear. You are also apt to hear a totally unsuspected side about someone or something. While possibly distressing, this news nevertheless puts pieces together for you which were missing before. Also, you may be dealing with behind-the-scene matters, subtle political maneuvers, or Machiavellian tactics.

Feb 20, 2009 3 PM(Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009)Mars Oppos Sun

Intense competition or conflict is quite likely at this time. You feel you must fight or stand up for your rights in the face of some person or situation that opposes you. You may actually seek out a battle in order to test your own powers. Beware of acting so abruptly or aggressively that you bring harm to yourself or other people.

Feb 20, 2009 4 PM(Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009)Sun Qucnx Merc

Communications are delayed or interfered with now. Somehow, the message you intended and the one that was received or perceived are not quite the same. There is quite a bit of static on the line, metaphorically and quite possibly literally as well. You also find that the way others talk or try to convey their ideas is grating and just goes against your grain. Try not to let their minor irritations get blown out of proportion. Most likely it is style rather than substantive disagreements which cause tension now.

Feb 20, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 23, 2009)Juno Oppos Sun

Confrontations and conflicts are possible in a marital or love relationship now. You will be inhibited and less comfortable in "just being yourself" when in the company of your mate or loved one. Your partner may feel superior in the relationship and become quite demanding and domineering toward you. There is a possibility that there will be a direct attack on your ego, causing you to doubt your importance in the partnership. You might adopt a defensive position when entangled in debates and quarrels with your loved one. You may need to compromise in order to gain power and recognition or more equality in the relationship.

Feb 21, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 24, 2009)Vesta Sqr Sun

You may experience frustration or confusion in carrying out the duties and obligations of your work requirements. Although you persevere through the daily grind, you find it difficult to direct and focus your energies to effectively achieve your goals and objectives. In order to make progress, you will have to tap into your inner strength and fortitude to bring you through this period. On another level, you may become almost fanatical in your attempts to single-handedly accomplish projects and fulfill your own self interests, causing you to distance or separate yourself from intimate relationships.

Feb 21, 2009 6 PM(Feb 20, 2009 to Feb 22, 2009) Sun Sqr Moon

Tension in your home life, conflicts between work demands and personal needs, or unresolved emotional tangles are likely to arise now, necessitating adjustments and compromises on your part.

A side of you which is usually hidden or in the background is likely to emerge now, and this may be positive or negative.

Feb 21, 2009 7 PM(Feb 20, 2009 to Feb 22, 2009) Merc Sqr Nep

Mental clarity, discrimination, and your ability to separate fact from fiction is diminished now. Miscommunications and an inability to formulate your ideas coherently are likely. Your mind wanders, and this can be a time of creative reverie or daydreaming. Avoid making binding contracts at this time.

Feb 22, 2009 1 AM(Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 24, 2009)Ven Trine Sun

Relaxation, enjoyment, and pleasure are emphasized now. This is not a time to push yourself or to be involved in activities that require intense competition or a great expenditure of energy. Cooperative, harmonious personal and professional relationships are more important to you at this time. You feel like socializing and being friendly.

Feb 23, 2009 2 PM(Feb 22, 2009 to Feb 24, 2009) Sun Conj Chi

This is a time when inner growth and healing can take place. Balance, resolution, and cooperation should be strived for in your personal relationships. You may gain a different perspective or take a new look at a situation or person that has hurt and troubled you in the past. An emotional encounter can be heart-warming and offer you valuable insights. In both your private and professional life, you have a keen sense of your individuality and of the direction you want to go. Other people will be drawn to your confident or unique approaches and some may even be willing to give your ideas a try.

Feb 24, 2009 7 PM(Feb 24, 2009 to Feb 25, 2009)Merc Oppos Sun

A short trip, or at least a lot of activity and movement, is very likely now. A significant conversation, learning from another person, and getting your own ideas and perceptions across to others is also likely. You may hear from someone who has important information for you or feel a pressing need to write or call someone else in order to bring some matter in the open. Communications of all kinds play an important role in your life now.

Feb 25, 2009 (Feb 22, 2009 to Feb 27, 2009)Pal Sxtil Sun

You have an opportunity to network with others to accomplish your creative or intellectual drives. The benefits you receive will be directly linked to your urge to be assertive and successful in using your abilities, while others provide you with their support and cooperation. This can be an extremely fruitful period for demonstrating your potential, talent, and drive with individuality.

People in authority or your superiors may offer you new avenues to express your knowledge or creative achievements in the business world.

Feb 25, 2009 6 AM(Feb 24, 2009 to Feb 26, 2009)Sun Oppos Plu

You directly confront something that has been hidden, forgotten, or ignored for a long time. Unresolved issues in personal relationships are stirred up and the underlying causes of a painful or problematic aspect of a relationship may be brought to light.

Personal power and control are issues for you now, and if you take too much power (i.e. are manipulative and tyrannical) or too little power (i.e. are overly passive and easily victimized), then you will become embroiled in power struggles with others.

Feb 25, 2009 (Feb 21, 2009 to Mar 2, 2009)Ceres Conj Plu

Domestic and personal involvements are accented now. You seek nurturing experiences through a profound emotional exchange with others. There may be a intense desire to create and nurture life. The knowledge that you gain during this time transforms your beliefs as to your ability to have loved ones and create offspring. Alterations in your home environment or relationships can occur with regard to issues of control, co-dependency, or changes in your ability to nurture relationships. You may be forced to assume sole responsibility for taking care of family members. This can also be a time of finding new ways to deal with grief and sorrow. You may acknowledge that you must release a bond with someone you love and care for in order to let go and begin a new cycle of personal growth and renewal.

Feb 26, 2009 9 PM(Feb 25, 2009 to Feb 27, 2009)Sun Trine Nep

At this time you really enjoy art, theater, music, and your own inner world of fantasy. Your imagination is vivid. If you have an interest in spiritual matters, these interests come to the fore now also. The inability to be decisive and a lack of energy or drive is a negative possibility. You can be quite lazy now.

Feb 28, 2009 (Feb 23, 2009 to Mar 4, 2009) Jup Oppos Sun

During this time period, you feel like it is time to "go for the gold". You want to hit the jackpot, and you may find yourself walking with a little extra spring and bounce and whistling zippity-doo-dah! This is, indeed, a time of opportunity and good times. However, you also tend to harbor unrealistic hopes, exaggerate the possibilities, and lack a sense of realism.

Your need for fulfillment and success is strong, and you may splurge, run up a very high bill on your credit card, or take on a new monthly payment in order to obtain the possessions that you want. However, do not let material acquisitions be a substitute for the fulfillment derived from personal achievement and success. If you allow this to happen, you will regret your purchases and become inclined to feel depressed and empty after your buying spree.

You may also find your moods swinging from very high points of enthusiasm and optimism to low points of discontent and restlessness. This results from the increased need for success and fulfillment that you feel at this time. If you feel like you are not successful and you see no new doors opening for you, then you begin to feel emotionally depressed. However, the pep and zest of the astrological influence at work now will not keep you down for long, and you bounce back again.

This is a time to go after your dreams. Try not to feel disappointed if you do not find a pot of gold at the end of each rainbow. But keep looking because you certainly do have a little extra good luck on your side during this time period.

Mar 1, 2009 (Feb 15, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009)Chi Qucnx Mars

At this time, you may need to curb your impulsive actions and resist the temptation to force other people to agree with you. Too much self interest on your part can lead to a crisis in your personal or professional life. This willful and defiant attitude will prevent you from gaining wisdom from others. Furthermore, your provoking and antagonizing tendencies may leave you ill-prepared to deal with the consequences. Being aware of this influence should allow you to consider moderating your attitude to reflect a more constructive self-assertion.

Mar 2, 2009 7 AM(Mar 1, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Merc Sqr Ceres

It may be difficult to reason with loved ones now. A family member, sibling, relative, or mate could make your routine, everyday tasks seem a bit chaotic just now. All sorts of complications are possible either when communicating, traveling, or running errands for your loved ones. You may get saddled with others' responsibilities now and then complain you are being taken advantage of. Petty disagreements can spoil the atmosphere in your domestic life. If you have children, they may be very fussy and hard to please at this time.

Mar 2, 2009 4 PM(Mar 1, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Mars Sqr Ceres

This is a time of hectic involvement with the affairs of your mate and/or children. Your personal ambitions and desires may be in direct conflict with your family's needs just now. Most likely you are putting your energies into taking care of those you love, but to a point where it takes away from your own personal interests and work responsibilities. You may get angry now if you feel anyone is pushing their desires on you, or you can be the recipient of a loved one's fury if they think you are treating them unfairly.

Mar 2, 2009 5 PM(Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Merc Conj Asc

Sales, teaching, public speaking, negotiating, or any endeavor that involves giving information to others is favored now. You are clear, articulate, and communicative at this time.

Mar 2, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 25, 2009) Merc 1st H.

At this time you are likely to speak out and let your voice be heard on matters you have been considering or mulling over for some time. You are keen and alert, and you express yourself well. This is an excellent time to initiate discussions and communication, but you may be so intent on getting your message across that you don't really listen to what anyone else has to say.

Mar 2, 2009 7 PM(Mar 1, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Sun Qucnx Sun

At this time you may feel out of your element or out of sync with yourself or your surroundings. Interference from others requires adjustment and perhaps sacrifice on your part. What you have to offer or want to do doesn't mesh well with what seems to be necessary. While not a full blown crisis, it is a time of strain and tension, which can be somewhat debilitating to your health. A partial retreat in order not to deplete yourself and your strength is beneficial right now. You may be upstaged by other people or events which occur now.

Mar 3, 2009 10 AM(Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 4, 2009) Mars Conj Asc

You come across assertively, competitively, and energetically now, so much so that you may arouse others' animosity. You don't want to slow down or accommodate other people's needs and resent it hotly if your own desires have to take a back seat to others' will and wishes.

This is a time for positive, decisive action on your part, forging ahead, taking the initiative. Try not to do so in a completely insensitive, arrogant manner as this will almost certainly work against you.

Mar 3, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Apr 21, 2009) Mars 1st H.

You are decisive and forthright and your energy level is high. You appear rather headstrong and most people will stay out of your way, or let you take the lead. You aren't very patient or conciliatory now and won't avoid a confrontation. You may even provoke them in an unnecessarily forceful or inconsiderate manner. Now is the time to act, but try not to be foolhardy or step on too many toes.

Mar 3, 2009 7 PM(Mar 3, 2009 to Mar 4, 2009)Merc Qucnx Mars

Your mind is on accomplishment and action, and there is a competitive edge in your speech or manners. You may be brusque, even rude, especially with people who are taking up your time unnecessarily. Be careful while running errands, particularly in traffic. Your sense of timing is a bit off and combined with your impatience, you could have an unfortunate run-in.

Mar 5, 2009 10 AM(Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 6, 2009) Merc Sqr Vesta

There may be a lot of activity surrounding work and professional pursuits at this time. You may feel obsessed with getting some work accomplished; however, you may discover you only run around in circles and get very little done. Your daily work routine might need to be rearranged or reorganized because of petty inconveniences or obstacles during this period. Tension and minor disagreements with co-workers or close associates is also possible. Since most of your work efforts leave less time for your personal life, you can find yourself making excuses to loved ones, relatives, and friends who wish to connect with you.

Mar 5, 2009 11 AM(Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 6, 2009)Mars Qucnx Mars

A sudden accident, trauma, violent outburst, or fever are possibilities now. If you have been withholding any animosity, not taking what you need for yourself, or been in any sort of ongoing battle with another, the stress is likely to become unbearable. You also tend to force yourself unmercifully now, which will backfire. You might sustain injuries in a competitive situation or "burn out".

Mar 5, 2009 1 PM(Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 6, 2009) Merc Oppos Ura

This time is filled with stimulating discussions about controversial topics, unusual or offbeat ideas, or "crazy" schemes. The tempo of your life increases and may leave you feeling frazzled. Because you are quite restless, you may do or say things in haste that you will regret later.

Mar 8, 2009 2 PM(Mar 7, 2009 to Mar 9, 2009) Mars Sqr Vesta

There can be problems connected with satisfying your personal or work ambitions at this time. You may demonstrate a great deal of enthusiasm for an interest, plan, or course of action which you decide is worth pursuing. However, you may discover that a lover, friend, or co-worker appears disinterested or directly challenges your efforts. Similarly, in the context of work or romance, you may be aggravated by quarrelsome, combative, or aggressive behavior directed towards you. This is a time when you find you need to be more self-reliant than usual or to separate yourself from certain individuals in order to channel your energies into productive tasks and purposes. Try, however, not to alienate someone for petty or selfish reasons.

Mar 8, 2009 9 PM(Mar 7, 2009 to Mar 10, 2009)Mars Oppos Ura

You are very bold and adventurous right now and you cannot tolerate delays, restrictions, or any form of authority that prevents you from behaving exactly as you please. Your drive for personal freedom and insistence on your rights is pressing, and a confrontation in which you have to stand up for yourself is likely. Rashness, sudden acts of anger or violence, and a tendency to try to do too much too fast are tendencies you need to carefully monitor at this time.

Mar 9, 2009 9 AM(Mar 8, 2009 to Mar 10, 2009) Merc Sqr MC

This is a time for you to speak out about your thoughts or concerns regarding your work or professional matters. Communication with your superiors or with people in authority who are in a position to consider and act on your ideas comes to the fore now.

Mar 9, 2009 5 PM(Mar 9, 2009 to Mar 10, 2009)Merc Trine Ven

You are very congenial and cooperative now and more interested in the similarities than in the differences between yourself and others. This is a very good time to let people know you care about them: send a card, write a note of appreciation or even a love letter! You may also want to buy something beautiful, pleasing, and frivolous which simply makes you feel good.

Mar 10, 2009 1 AM(Mar 9, 2009 to Mar 11, 2009)Merc Qucnx Merc

Expect last minute changes and adjustments, poor timing, or an annoying glitch in anything involving papers, contracts, appointments and meetings, or previously scheduled engagements.

You may have to reword a proposal or in some other way adjust your thinking or way of communicating in order to come to an agreement. Nervous irritation and/or mental exhaustion could result.

Mar 10, 2009 3 PM(Mar 9, 2009 to Mar 11, 2009)Sun Sxtil Ceres

You really put your heart and efforts into helping others now. A generous spirit is brought forth in you, and you want to give love, care, and nurturing to your close relationships. This is also a good time to encourage independence and self-esteem in your children. Sharing quantity time with family members and loved ones, such as involving yourself in their leisure activities, hobbies, and chores will bring much personal satisfaction at this time.

Mar 10, 2009 5 PM(Mar 10, 2009 to Mar 11, 2009)Merc Sqr Moon

Emotions, prejudices, or unresolved issues from the past come up in your interactions with others now, and you may not be very objective.

This is a good time to speak up and clear the air of any grievances you have been holding on to for some time.

Personal subjects are the topic of discussion now. Reminiscing, remembering, daydreaming about, and reflecting on the past is likely.

Mar 11, 2009 9 PM(Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 12, 2009)Merc Conj Chi

Open communication with a lover, friend, or relative may help relieve your worries or concerns at this time. Your close, healthy, and meaningful relationships can provide you with invaluable insight and new perspectives on resolving fears and inhibitions. This is a good time to let go of any hurt or guilt associated with your past or patch up any differences that occur between you and another individual. You may also feel more inclined to look into ways to improve your personal health and well-being, especially if you have been undergoing recent stress or a minor health setback.

Mar 12, 2009 (Feb 22, 2009 to Mar 30, 2009)Ura Oppos Mars

Courageous and undaunted, you step boldly forth, assert yourself, and charge ahead. If you are normally shy and receding, you will burst out of your shell now. If you are a strong and aggressive person, then you will try to take full command of every aspect of your life and force weaker personalities to submit to you and support you.

Impatient and dynamic, you work feverishly to bring projects that have been ongoing for some time to a rapid completion. You take on Herculean tasks and expect to accomplish them almost overnight. You feel tired of waiting for the things you want, and you charge forth to claim them. Find a task to do and do it! This is one of the worst times to take a relaxing vacation because you won't be able to relax; you have too much that you want to do right now. If you do vacation, activities like sky diving or white water rafting suit your taste now.

This can be a volatile and explosive time. If you have a bad temper, then you will need to do everything possible to stay in control of yourself at this time. Pent up anger and hostility surfaces, and relatively minor things can cause you to become upset and angry. You are particularly prone to arguments, disagreements, and power struggles with others. You are inclined to not realize how pushy you are, and others may rebel against you. Make bold steps forward now and work hard, but try not to be inconsiderate of others in the process. Energetic physical activity is almost a must and will make you feel better and accomplish more.

Also, you may attract domineering people to yourself, and you may need to assert yourself. This problem is particularly likely if you try to repress and deny the powerful energies that you are dealing with now. Be forthright and direct (that should be easy) but also try to be tactful too (which is not so easy).

Your daredevil attitude may cause you to try dangerous activities or take risks that you normally would not consider. Do be reasonable, however, as your impatience and boldness makes you more accident-prone than usual.

Business decisions and career decisions now tend to be too risky and also warped by your impatient need to accomplish everything in an unrealistically short amount of time.

Mar 12, 2009 8 PM(Mar 12, 2009 to Mar 13, 2009)Merc Oppos Plu

This can be a time for exposing and talking about hidden, intensely private, secret, or taboo subjects. Your mind is very probing and your conversations and interactions with others are intense. Pat answers and superficialities don't suffice now. You can be too intrusive or overbearing when stating your point of view.

Mar 12, 2009 8 PM(Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 13, 2009)Sun Oppos Mars

You are contentious, argumentative, and impatient now. Disagreements erupt because you aren't willing to overlook minor irritations as readily as usual. Confrontations with others may be fruitful if you don't allow your anger to get out of control. You are highly competitive at this time.

Mar 13, 2009 (Mar 10, 2009 to Mar 15, 2009)Juno Conj Asc

The need to make yourself more attractive or improve your appearance is highlighted at this time. You want to be pampered by your mate, as well as lavish attention on him or her in return. You make a favorable impression upon your marriage partner or loved one, as you appear sincere, honest and cooperative. You place a greater value on improving conditions in your relationship, striving to achieve greater closeness and equality. This would be a good time to let your mate know how much you appreciate their love and dedication.

If you meet a new love interest during this time, there is a good possibility that it will develop into a serious love relationship. This person makes you feel very comfortable and secure in expressing your true nature, and a strong bond between the two of you can be felt from the beginning.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Mar 13, 2009 8 PM(Mar 13, 2009 to Mar 14, 2009)Merc Trine Nep

You are inspired creatively, artistically, or spiritually at this time. Your imagination, intuition, and psychic sensitivity are high now, and you find yourself wanting to paint or listen to music, daydream, or fantasize rather than concentrate on practical matters.

Mar 13, 2009 (Mar 9, 2009 to Mar 19, 2009)Ceres Sqr Moon

The caretaking of partnerships and family members becomes an emotional struggle at this time. You recognize now that your past emotional behavior patterns are ineffective and inadequate in your current relationships. The people that you take care of and nurture are most likely to be in discord with you. Loved ones may feel you have been insensitive to their needs, while also perceiving you as overemotional and undependable. One way to help resolve this situation may be to address your unresolved past feelings of sorrow, sadness, or grief. If you can vent or release these issues appropriately, then you may be able to restructure your emotional responses toward loved ones in a more caring, understanding manner. You must deal with the conflict between your own personal needs and those of the people you care about.

This can be a challenging time if you are a parent, as your children are sensitive to inadequate amounts of love, caring, and affection now and may display excitability and disturbing behavior.

Mar 14, 2009 (Feb 15, 2009 to Apr 18, 2009)Nep Sqr Vesta

You may become caught up in fantasies or illusions about your work or employment at this time. You might dwell on impractical ideas and interests rather than getting down to hard work. Doubts, fears, and uncertainty concerning your own abilities or feeling unclear as to what kind of work or project could spark your enthusiasm is likely now. You may become captivated with a new interest or hobby which tempts you to escape from work which you find boring or unsuitable. Or there may be situations in your job where you question the objectives of co-workers or professionals. For instance, you may doubt the integrity or truthfulness of persons in your workplace and imagine or perceive all sorts of deception or behind the scene activities taking place. Since most of your feelings may be speculative, you should avoid making any major changes or disruptions in your job at this time.

Mar 14, 2009 3 PM(Mar 13, 2009 to Mar 15, 2009) Sun Conj Pal

This is a good time to undertake projects which bring out your natural talent and creativity. If there is a new skill or craft you wish to develop, now is the time to plan and strategize ways to realize your ideals. You may have an opportunity to join up with others who have similar creative and artistic leanings, prompting you to gain more confidence and faith in your abilities. Your physical and mental vitality is at a high point, and thus affords you with the will and determination to be your most productive.

Mar 15, 2009 7 AM(Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009)Sun Sxtil Vesta

Sacrifices made for the sake of work and professional gratification can have a beneficial effect on your personal growth and well-being. You may have more confidence in your abilities which helps you create practical goals and work objectives. Making the most of your talents and abilities makes you stand out from the rest of the work crowd. You have a better shot at getting approval from superiors or those in high positions.

Mar 15, 2009 1 PM(Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009)Sun Qucnx Ura

Nervous tension, impatience, uneven or erratic rhythms, and/or a disruption of your usual pace can make this time very challenging. You are apt to deal with some recalcitrant people or become that way yourself. Beware of burning bridges behind you in your heightened impatience or restless intolerance of anything that thwarts you now.

Mar 15, 2009 2 PM(Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009)Sun Sxtil Sat

Your ability to concentrate and focus on your work is very good now. This is a time to attend to details, take care of practical business, and to make your life more stable and secure. It would be beneficial to consult advisors on investments and long-range plans and to put your affairs in order. Eliminating waste and inefficiency is important to you now.

Mar 16, 2009 3 AM(Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 17, 2009)Merc Qucnx Sun

An incident involving miscommunications, missed messages, or missed meetings which causes a change of plans is likely. Co-workers, secretaries, receptionists, and other people you may normally take for granted, but who keep the flow of your life running smoothly, may be unaccountably inconsistent or simply keep you at bay. You may also get a bit of news that you will wish you hadn't. Try to take these minor annoyances and irritations in stride.

Mar 16, 2009 2 PM(Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 17, 2009) Mars Sqr MC

At this time your efforts to get ahead and advance your own interests are likely to be met with resistance or animosity. You seem overeager, pushy, inconsiderate, or too narrowly focused on your own objectives, so that you alienate the people who could help you. Try to do as much as you can on your own without trying to force others to agree with you or join you.

Mar 17, 2009 5 AM(Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 18, 2009)Mars Trine Ven

Right now you are more magnetic and sexually attractive, and your love life is likely to be both harmonious and satisfying. You experience a positive flow of warmth and friendliness between yourself and others, and you are stimulated and energized by your casual interactions with others of the opposite sex. Creative and artistic efforts also flourish at this time.

Mar 17, 2009 (Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 19, 2009)Juno Qucnx Mars

Romantic relationships and/or marriage may undergo challenges now. The need to express your sexual and passionate nature is highly stimulated, but you must guard against being overly direct and unresponsive to your partner's moods and desires. This assertive and impulsive style of lovemaking may not be especially pleasing to your mate, and you will have to make modifications in your approach toward your loved one. Also, you or your partner may be harboring jealousy or resentments which have not yet been expressed, and these issues must be dealt with before serious confrontations develop.

If you are presently unattached, you may not be very selective in choosing a love interest, subsequently regretting a wild rendezvous or affair with an inappropriate partner. It may be best to direct your active energies into more suitable drives.

Mar 17, 2009 (Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009)Vesta Sqr Asc

Demands or obligations in your work or personal life can cause you to avoid relating on an intimate basis with others at this time. There may be a lack of support or indifference to your own needs which you sense on either an internal or external level. You are not interested in wasting your energy on work or relationships that conflict with your personal ambitions or your well-being. But it is difficult to determine at this time if it is your own insecurity or other people who cause you be unclear as to your personal goals. Hard work is indicated if you are to apply your efforts with concentration and commitment. You might have to justify your need to work alone to those persons who rely upon your involvement and attention.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Mar 17, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009)Pal Trine Asc

You are comfortable and at ease in displaying your creativity and skills in career endeavors and one-on-one relationships. New and inspiring experiences bring you greater understanding and awareness of all that you can offer to the world. Other people can sense that your desires and ideas are based on fairness and equality, and they offer you opportunities to express yourself.

Healing techniques that enhance the mind and the physical body are favorable. You enjoy pleasant and relaxing surroundings, and your relationships are cooperative and rewarding to you.

Mar 17, 2009 10 PM(Mar 16, 2009 to Mar 19, 2009)Mars Qucnx Merc

Mental demands, deadlines, or an unexpected "rush job" can generate a lot of stress right now. Tension headaches, edgy nerves, and snappishness are definitely possible, even if there are no external pressures. You are apt to be all revved up with no place to go. Try not to put yourself in situations that you know before hand may involve a lot of waiting, or if you must, bring something along to do.

Mar 18, 2009 9 AM(Mar 16, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009)Ven Trine Sun

Mar 19, 2009 (Mar 18, 2009 to Apr 22, 2009) Sun 2nd H.

Money, possessions, financial security, and practical matters are a focus for you now. If you tend to be generous or extravagant with your resources, you are prone to be even more so now, and if you have been struggling financially, you may begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel. At the least, it should become clear to you what your next steps should be regarding your finances.

Mar 19, 2009 8 AM(Mar 18, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009)Mars Sqr Moon

At this time you are prone to irritability, temper tantrums, and flying off the handle for slim reasons. You are also impatient and inclined to rush unnecessarily, which can cause accidents or bruised feelings on the part of the people you live with or work closely with. You are in a fighting mood and stand up for your rights more readily than usual, but beware of the tendency to be abrasive and insensitive.

Mar 20, 2009 12 PM(Mar 19, 2009 to Mar 21, 2009)Merc Sxtil Ceres

This period brings warmth and close connections to your home and personal environment. This is an excellent time for communications with family members, as well as sharing daily activities together. Children will appreciate your help and encouragement now. Family pleasure trips or even doing chores with loved ones can also characterize this time frame. You may even be called on to lend aid or support in your neighborhood or local community affairs. Plans to expand your creative urges also work out to your advantage now.

Mar 20, 2009 11 PM(Mar 19, 2009 to Mar 21, 2009)Sun Conj Juno

This is a favorable period for long-term relationships and marriage. You should feel very generous and loving now, as well as open and demonstrative toward your mate. If you are single, you may attract a new love interest who is dignified, charismatic, and ambitious. Companionship is important to you at this time and you enjoy sharing life's pleasures with a special someone. A steady relationship might undergo a beneficial change, such as offering more commitment and stability than previously felt.

Mar 21, 2009 3 AM(Mar 20, 2009 to Mar 22, 2009)Sun Sxtil Jup

Agreements, contracts, and joining your efforts with others will work out very much to your advantage now. A friend or person in authority may offer help or present an opportunity which will benefit you now or in the future. Also, you will reap rewards later for the generosity and aid you extend to others at this time.

Mar 21, 2009 (Feb 21, 2009 to May 1, 2009) Nep Oppos Ura

Inspiration, eccentricity, and imagination are the key issues for this time period. You are likely to feel the urge to do something completely out of character now. Don't fight the urge. Let yourself be a little "crazy"; this is a good time to break out of your accustomed ways of acting and be more humorous or eccentric.

Your imagination is charged now. Any artistic endeavors are imbued with a new spirit of originality and inspiration. Your thinking is much less conservative and cautious now, and you can tap intuitive and creative resources that will surprise even yourself. Your ability to improvise is especially strong. Don't restrain yourself; break out of the usual constraints to your ingenuity and creativity.

Scientific studies and the latest technologies also fascinate you. Rather than seeing science as a dry, academic area, you now encounter imaginative inventions and ideas that intrigue and fascinate you. You may also develop an interest in unusual studies such as astrology or numerology. Your political and social idealism is also stirred, and you may become active in altruistic or idealistic social reform.

Be careful, however, in practical affairs. You find it difficult at times to control your enthusiasm about progressive and unusual ideas. However, your ideas tend to be less realistic and practical than you realize. In short, business decisions and career decisions tend to be unrealistically optimistic.

Mar 21, 2009 (Mar 19, 2009 to Mar 23, 2009) Pal Sqr Mars

Career or creative projects have difficulty getting underway. Your plans and cherished ideas do not gain the momentum you believed possible, and you have to extend great effort to achieve your ambitions. During this unsettled period, you feel you have reached a standstill in your career or inner drive and may even consider a change of direction in your ambitions. As this is only for the time being, it might be best to endure the challenges and frustration now, instead of making decisions in haste and regretting them later on.

There may be tension, anxiety or strife regarding a male member of your family or an associate.

Mar 21, 2009 2 PM(Mar 20, 2009 to Mar 22, 2009) Sun Trine MC

Your career, reputation, public standing, or important personal goals gain momentum now. Your superiors or those in a position to support or further your aims are positively disposed toward you at this time. An important victory or success can be achieved.

Mar 21, 2009 5 PM(Mar 20, 2009 to Mar 22, 2009)Mars Conj Chi

You are inclined to engage in interests, activities, and relationships which make you feel good about yourself. You may disregard the more conventional side of your nature in order to pursue something which is new, stimulating, or different. There is a tendency to resist being pushed too far in the direction of doing what others want you to do. Similarly, at some point you may have to deal with other people's grievances or anger directed toward you, or you may have to strongly defend your position on an important issue. You may have a significant encounter with an individual who aggravates you yet teaches you a valuable lesson or provides you with a healing experience at this time.

Mar 21, 2009 5 PM(Mar 21, 2009 to Mar 22, 2009)Merc Oppos Mars

You are very impulsive and restless now and you are likely to act or speak too quickly without sufficient forethought or concern for the consequences. You tend to be verbally aggressive, starting fights with people who don't agree with you or who simply get in your way. Positively, you are very sharp and clear mentally at this time and can attack problems and tasks with great vigor.

Mar 21, 2009 (Mar 19, 2009 to Mar 24, 2009)Vesta Trine Mars

You have more energy and the inner resources to devote yourself to work and business-related assignments. You feel a strong determination to apply yourself to purposeful tasks and chores in your work environment. Although others may feel isolated by your self direction, you work with more efficiency and concentration when alone. In fact, you have an unbelievable capacity for enduring hardship and obstacles now and outwardly project to others that you can handle just about anything. Therefore, recognition or advancements in your work are possible, if you seize the opportunity to act on your ambitions.

Mar 22, 2009 2 AM(Mar 21, 2009 to Mar 23, 2009) Sun Sqr Ven

Your desire for love and affection, as well as beauty and pleasure, is strong now and you act on feelings and creative impulses more readily than usual.

Your mind is alert, keen, and intuitive now. This is a favorable period to organize your daily affairs and clear away all unfinished business and personal tasks. The people with whom you communicate on an everyday basis will find you easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Any new alliance formed at this time may have you playing the role of mentor or advisor. You can offer good, solid wisdom to a friend or associate who is in need of assistance. Following your instincts and hunches can bring new insight into problem-solving or complicated issues in your own life as well.

Mar 23, 2009 1 AM(Mar 22, 2009 to Mar 24, 2009)Merc Sxtil Vesta

Your focus and mental concentration tends to be on your work or vocational pursuits. You may have a clearer picture of what is required of you, as well as how to achieve your objectives. Daily responsibilities can be successfully accomplished through increased dedication to your job. You can make some effective changes in your work environment as superiors and co-workers are more likely to accept your ideas and methods. Contracts and agreements are also favored now.

Mar 23, 2009 4 AM(Mar 22, 2009 to Mar 24, 2009)Merc Sxtil Sat

Your mind is serious and you are able to concentrate on work that requires patience, attention to detail, and precision. Practical concerns dominate. It is a good time to learn practical skills, do your taxes, organize your files, and take care of business. You'll want to avoid light social conversation or trivialities that distract you from your work.

Mar 23, 2009 (Mar 17, 2009 to Apr 2, 2009)Ceres Sxtil Ven

Your need for love, companionship, and emotional support is satisfied by participating in social, domestic, or romantic relationships at this time. A desire for togetherness and harmony makes this an enjoyable period for sharing family affairs and increases the affection and nurturing in love relationships as well. In committed relationships, this can be a favorable time for an engagement or marriage or beginning a family. If you already have children, your desire to nurture and protect them will be especially rewarding to you now.

Support from close friends, family, and the women in your life gives you confidence now. This is a good time to mend fences and ameliorate problems in your home life.

Mar 23, 2009 8 PM(Mar 22, 2009 to Mar 25, 2009)Mars Oppos Plu

Your personal ambitions and drive to assert yourself and make an impact on the world meet with considerable opposition now. Other people or external forces over which you have no control seem to subtly undermine your efforts - or try to overpower you altogether. You need to stand up for yourself, perhaps in a David-and-Goliath type of situation. If you have been unscrupulous or overly egotistical and selfish in your pursuits, you are likely to get your comeuppance now.

Mar 23, 2009 (Mar 21, 2009 to Mar 26, 2009)Juno Oppos Ura

A situation or dilemma in your marriage or love relationship may turn out differently than expected. Be prepared to adjust to new conditions or abrupt changes that may take place at this time. Your partner may react with sudden jealousy or interfere with plans you have made with friends, clubs, associations or groups in which you are involved. Even if you are in a stable and committed partnership, during this phase you might offer your mate only sporadic opportunities for closeness and intimate relations. You may simply be feeling too restless and rebellious to conform to your partner's wishes.

Be careful in choosing a new love interest during this period. The chase may feel exhilarating and tempting, but this relationship may prove to be unstable or unusual in some manner. You might not feel like committing yourself to one person during this time and, although an unconventional liaison will appeal to you, later on you may have a rude awakening.

Mar 25, 2009 (Mar 24, 2009 to Apr 10, 2009) Merc 2nd H.

At this time you have many thoughts and discussions about finances, commercial transactions, your personal assets, and material security. You are thinking about how you spend money and manage your resources. This is a very good time to consult with a financial planner or accountant and to get your business affairs in order.

You do not feel very sharp, competitive, or aggressive at this time. Feelings of relaxation, receptivity, passivity, or aimlessness are likely and you tend to avoid stressful confrontations or situations that demand too much of you. Goals and desires that normally seem so important - especially ones in which you are pushing your own interests - do not matter quite as much now. Your imagination is stimulated, and you need activities and entertainments that are colorful, out of the ordinary, and definitely not mundane.

Mar 25, 2009 11 PM(Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 26, 2009)Merc Conj Juno

Romantic and marital affairs may occupy your mind now. Discussing your feelings and concerns with a mate or marriage partner can open greater lines of communication and understanding between both of you. This can be a time of commitment, closeness, and warmth in your primary love relationship. You might hear news of a wedding or engagement or be invited to parties now. Family members or relatives may also participate in some of the activities you share with your spouse or romantic companion at this time.

Mar 26, 2009 2 AM(Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 27, 2009)Merc Sxtil Jup

You are optimistic, hopeful, and forward-looking at this time. You can see connections and possibilities you may have overlooked before. Now is a time for communicating your enthusiasm, sharing your plans and dreams, and also being more receptive to others' thoughts and points of view. Contracts, negotiations, and business dealings of all kinds are favored now.

Mar 26, 2009 7 AM(Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 27, 2009)Merc Trine MC

At this time you put extra energy into thinking about and organizing your work and professional life. Decisions you make at this time are likely to work out well, as you are clear and objective. Gathering information regarding your career or long-range goals is also favored.

Mar 26, 2009 1 PM(Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 27, 2009) Merc Sqr Ven

You are more distressed than usual over any dissonance in your environment or personal relationships, and you are inclined to avoid serious discussions or real disagreements with others. Also, challenging mental work and concentration is difficult for you now.

Mar 26, 2009 8 PM(Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 27, 2009)Merc Trine Merc

Conversations and sharing plans and ideas with others are very fruitful now. You understand what others are telling you, and you make yourself clearly understood also. This is a favorable time for getting your message across to others via writing, speaking, or advertising.

Mar 27, 2009 (Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009)Pal Sxtil Ura

Unexpected and exciting benefits or opportunities can occur through friends, clubs and associations. This is a time when you are inspired by new ideas and creative impulses that allow you to network with others in accomplishing your goals. You may attend conventions or seminars which stimulate your intellect, as well as your imagination. Interesting and unconventional people may suddenly appear in your social life who revolutionize your way of thinking.

Mar 27, 2009 (Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009)Pal Qucnx Sat

You will have to work extra hard to achieve success in your career and creative aims. It is best to wait for a more opportune period to present your ideas and objectives to persons in positions of power or authority. If you are employed, you may have to modify or reorganize your current business affairs and responsibilities. There can be difficulties brought on by a heavy work load and an inability to perceive solutions to the challenges you encounter. This period may require adjustments to new conditions in your work environment. For example, a situation may demand that you step down from your position in the company, or a new executive joins the firm and designates added responsibilities and assignments to you.

On another level, this cycle can also represent a time when there is worry and concern over the health of an older person, relative or parent.

You feel inclined to speak to others about your innermost feelings, your past, and other personal subjects, which builds closeness and trust in your relationships, especially with women. You are also a sympathetic listener, drawing out others' feelings and personal experiences.

You may hear from someone from the past or reach out to someone you have a long history with or who was once very important in your life.

Mar 27, 2009 (Mar 20, 2009 to May 6, 2009) Ceres Sqr MC

You may need to take charge of an unsettled situation in your domestic life at this time. This period can indicate the need to establish guidelines and provisions in your home environment. Children or other family members may display a lack of emotional control with regard to their habits, desires, and objectives. You may have to take an authoritative position and set limits on their demands. On the other hand, you may personally have to address your career aspirations and your status in the outer world. There are adjustments to deal with in your work, such as a supervisor or co-worker exerting pressure on your job performance, or changes of schedule. Authority figures may infringe upon your developing new concepts and creative ideas.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Unforeseen situations may suddenly bring changes or disturb your work or professional duties. Greater responsibility or working unusual or long hours is possible, especially if you are involved in the process of the planning, organization and restructuring of your place of employment. It may be best to work alone at this time, distancing yourself from chaotic conditions in order to concentrate on original and inventive ways to handle problems and target new and purposeful solutions. You may feel an urgent need to move ahead and in the process will discard work which is not functional or useful to your future directions and goals. On the other hand, this period can bring about zealous involvement with humanitarian or social organizations. Whether you are focused on a special cause or a work project, you should avoid alienating loved ones and important people in your personal life at this time.

Mar 28, 2009 11 PM(Mar 27, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009)Sun Qucnx Nep

Vague feelings of weakness or a mysterious or unexplained illness and/or oversensitivity to chemicals, poisons, and pollutants can make this a challenging time. Your defenses are not as strong as usual which makes you susceptible to being overpowered by outside forces.

Be gentle and don't expect too much of yourself right now. Intoxicants of any sort are best avoided at this time.

Mar 29, 2009 (Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 31, 2009)Vesta Trine Sat

A practical and dedicated approach to your work-related matters may benefit you at this time. You can put your nose to the grindstone and feel satisfied with your abilities to effectively manage your work requirements. You will be more comfortable if your work environment is structured and organized, and you may strive to achieve completion of long-term plans and ambitions. A responsible and serious attitude toward your work is indicated, and those in higher-up positions in your organization are more appreciative of your dedication and loyalty. Career advancement or assuming administrative functions in your employment is possible.

Moments of confusion, disorientation, and mental fogginess are likely. You may misunderstand or misconstrue something that is stated in ambiguous terms, so be absolutely certain that everything is spelled out and crystal clear. You are also apt to forget appointments, overlook significant details, make errors in computation, etc. Any sort of intoxicants or chemicals should be strictly avoided now. They will make you very dopey, or possibly even poison you.

Mar 30, 2009 11 PM(Mar 29, 2009 to Apr 1, 2009)Mars Qucnx Sun

Accidents including burns or cuts are possible now, mostly through your own rashness, headstrong behavior, or over-heated foolishness. You are apt to feel aggravated but unable to pinpoint the cause or reach a clear-cut solution. Circumstances may prohibit the direct action you would like to take. Beware of venting your tension on children or subordinates.

Mar 31, 2009 10 PM(Mar 31, 2009 to Apr 1, 2009)Merc Trine Sun

You are very clear and perceptive now. It's a good time to make a decision or come to an agreement, negotiate, exchange your views with others, or present your case. If you are in a profession dealing with words, ideas, or communication, this is a very productive time for you. Ideas flow, and you express your thoughts well.

Apr 1, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to May 3, 2009)Ceres Qucnx Jup

Family members and loved ones put additional strain on you. There can be new conditions to contend with in your domestic environment. For instance, there may be an increase in the personal needs of others or an increase in expenses for the care of your family. You may desire more freedom from your duties and responsibilities in order to pursue your personal aspirations. However, you must balance this desire with your obligations to nourish the primary relationships in your life.

Apr 1, 2009 11 PM(Mar 31, 2009 to Apr 2, 2009) Sun Trine Sun

Confidence and inner harmony prevail. You can move forward with creative projects and express yourself more easily and comfortably now. Your efforts are well received at this time.

Apr 4, 2009 (Feb 5, 2009 to June 4, 2009)plu qucnx moon

Feelings and emotional issues which you never realized you harbored are apt to be triggered, especially in your female relationships. Acknowledge whatever feelings or sensations well up, no matter how seemingly irrational or inappropriate. While you need not act on them, you need to feel them. This is a healing process if you don't resist or force them down.

Serious health challenges could arise, particularly if your past griefs and wounds have not been properly attended to. A need for nurturing, care, support, and tenderness which has been ignored can manifest as an illness.

Family relationships or conditions in your home require major work, revisions, or repair. There may be some unsalvageable relationship or situation which will simply need to be relinquished. Damage to or destruction of your home is a possibility, especially if neglect has occurred. Do what you can to rebuild or revitalize your living space.

Apr 5, 2009 12 AM(Apr 4, 2009 to Apr 6, 2009) Merc Sxtil Asc

This is an excellent time to be out and about. There are significant opportunities to make connections, exchange information, and to learn something through a meeting or chance encounter. Letters, phone calls, and conversations that you initiate are productive at this time.

Your thinking is rather gloomy and pessimistic at this time. You see the superficiality, the flaws, and the foolishness or impracticality in others' plans. Also, communicating with others is difficult now, and people resist what you are saying. You feel more inhibited and uncommunicative, and you sense that others are not receptive. Frustrating conversations and the feeling that you are coming across negatively are possible now, so you are inclined simply to keep your thoughts to yourself.

Apr 7, 2009 2 AM(Apr 6, 2009 to Apr 8, 2009) Merc Trine Ura

You experience sudden insights, make discoveries, come up with fresh solutions to old problems, and seek alternatives to the usual routine way of doing things. Your mental processes are speeded up and you move more quickly now. Try to make room for a lot of spontaneity and flexibility in your schedule at this time.

Use common sense and good judgment in your personal and professional affairs during this time. There may be a tendency to overextend your energies toward far-reaching goals which causes you to avoid responsibilities in your current work or social involvements. You can underestimate the quantity of time and effort needed to accomplish your projects, desires and inner visions. Problems related to work, legal affairs, or with educational or religious activities are likely. You need to develop a realistic and practical sense with regard to your ideals and objectives. Try to use a more logical approach in your search for new and adventurous possibilities.

Apr 7, 2009 (Apr 2, 2009 to Apr 13, 2009) Jup Sqr Ceres

You might feel overwhelmed with domestic concerns or family matters at this time. Priorities or responsibilities at home can agitate you or interfere with your own personal plans and interests. Taking care of yourself and getting your emotional and nurturance needs met can be a major obstacle now. Loved ones may have needs which are far more pressing than your own at this time. There may be disagreements over family issues concerning education, religion, legal matters, or travel. Also, your expectations of a mate, a child, or family member may be too high at this time. Similarly, you may be disappointed by a loved one's extravagance, untrustworthiness, exaggerations, or personal aspirations.

Apr 7, 2009 (Apr 5, 2009 to Apr 10, 2009) Juno Sqr MC

Your partner may be feeling that your career directives have temporarily pulled you away from the relationship. You may have limited time to nurture your loved one, due to obligations in your professional life. This can lead to tensions and difficult problems in your personal world or marriage. On the other hand, if you are effectively balancing your career and personal relationship, your partner might be the individual who is experiencing difficulties in this area. There will need to be some compromise, possibly with more focus on the inner needs of your relationship and less attention on the outer world during this phase.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

This period allows you to improve upon or make revisions in your career or business endeavors. Situations arise which demand that you examine your present work methods, and if necessary, release old concepts and ideas that are no longer serving your purpose. This will be a time of transition in your chosen profession or creative pursuits. For example, you might be in-between jobs or in search of alternative outlets to enhance your skills and talents. Or if you are in college or receiving academic training, you may modify or change your studies in mid-stream.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

This is a fortunate period in marriages or other intimate relationships. You enjoy being with your mate, sharing pleasures and social activities together. This can be a busy time with parties, weddings, births, engagements or showers to attend. If you live together, you may purchase items or furniture for the home. Your relationship feels loving, secure and balanced. A possibility exists for an increase in your joint finances. For instance, if you are married or sharing a domestic life together, one partner may improve their earning capacity or benefit in some other financial manner.

If you are unattached at this time, you have a strong desire to give and receive love. You will be concerned with looking your best and may even behave quite flirtatiously. A new relationship at this time will be romantic, loving and pleasing to you.

Apr 9, 2009 (Apr 7, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009) Pal Conj Ven

An urge to decorate and beautify your home surroundings is one way this time period can manifest. Your inner creative and artistic faculties are combined with acute perceptual and visual sense so you are capable of blending imaginative colors and hues to produce beauty. On another level, your most cherished partnerships can solidify and strengthen on a spiritual and transcendental level. You are attracted to new relationships which offer nonphysical expressions of love, instead of pure sensual or sexual declarations. In any case, you desire to instill peace and serenity into your personal relations and are apt to avoid confrontations with others, if possible.

Your mind is on bigger issues and long-range plans. You are optimistic and enthusiastic about your ideas, but disinclined to read the fine print or study all the facts, which can result in an error in judgment. Try not to be lax about important details.

Apr 10, 2009 12 AM(Apr 8, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009)Mars Sxtil Ceres

Activities with loved ones are enjoyable now. This is a good time to attend to the needs of your mate, children, and other individuals in your care. You are quick to lend aid and support to others, while still being aware of how much you are comfortable taking on. With regard to your own personal needs for nurturing, you feel capable of standing on your own; however, you will not disregard people who want to take care of you also. If you have children, you may support their efforts to move toward independence now. You consciously avoid being overprotective in order to foster their self-esteem and encourage them to tackle things on their own.

Apr 10, 2009 1 AM(Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009) Merc Qucnx MC

This is a time to take in information which can be of real practical assistance to you in reaching a significant long-range goal. Some news may reach you which will create some minor distress and compel you to re-examine or reassess a position you have taken regarding your career or work in the world. Don't try to force issues or come to any definite conclusions now and don't sign any contracts which require too much compromise on your part. Simply gather information and, if necessary, delay direct negotiations.

Apr 10, 2009 7 AM(Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009)Merc Sxtil Ven

There is a friendly, cooperative, harmonious tone to the interactions you have now. It is a good time for social activities and for getting in touch with friends. You avoid heavy discussions and do not want to focus on dry, practical matters. Reading light fiction, going out to see a romantic comedy, or simply sharing a pleasant time with someone you like is more in tune with your feelings now.

Apr 10, 2009 (Apr 8, 2009 to Apr 13, 2009)Juno Qucnx Merc

Interactions and communications with your mate or marriage partner can seem tense and demanding at this time. Your mate may try to force you to make a decision on an issue, and you will resent being manipulated or coerced. Mental game-playing, such as the "guilt" or "silent" treatment, may cause havoc in the relationship. You and your partner might not be operating on the same wave length or share similar interests during this period. There may be a need to adjust to new conditions in your immediate environment, especially the daily routines that you share with your mate.

Apr 10, 2009 1 PM(Apr 10, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009)Merc Sqr Merc

Intellectual disagreements or differences of opinion and viewpoints arise now. You may have to speak your mind in a way that challenges or unnerves someone else. However, your mind is very active and sharp, and your reasoning power is good, so this is a good time to do mental work.

Apr 10, 2009 1 PM(Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009) Sun Sxtil Asc

This is a time for being with people and especially giving something of yourself and your talents to others. You want to be seen and noticed. You receive appreciation and a positive response and possibly an opportunity or personal contact which will be quite beneficial.

Apr 10, 2009 (Apr 10, 2009 to May 3, 2009) Merc 3rd H.

Your intellectual curiosity and mental restlessness is high now and you may flit from one activity to another or spend a lot of time chatting and socializing. Plan frequent outings and short excursions to satisfy your need to move about and to communicate.

This is a good time to take a field trip or to travel for business purposes.

Apr 11, 2009 (Apr 5, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Jup Conj Asc

You feel confident, optimistic, and have faith in yourself to be able to come forth and be successful. You project yourself with confidence at this time, and you receive a welcome response from others. For example, if you are a writer, you are likely to have your material published at this time; if you are an artist, a successful exhibit of your work may be given; or if you are in sales you may give a successful presentation to a very large group. You receive attention and are now able to reach a wider audience. This is a good time for promoting or advertising yourself, your creative work, or products. The only negative tendencies are the possibility of being overly optimistic and consequently failing in a major undertaking, or being a little arrogant, self-centered, or materialistic.

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

Apr 11, 2009 (Apr 5, 2009 to Aug 22, 2009) Jup 1st H.

A surge of optimism and confidence characterizes this time period, and you radiate more of your positive qualities, which may open up many opportunities for you. Beliefs about yourself which have in the past limited what you were willing to aim for in life will have a less powerful influence on you, and you'll experience an expanded sense of possibilities and hope for the future.

There is also a tendency for you to expand physically as well, so take care not to overindulge in the good things of life.

Pleasant and beneficial opportunities may arise in your work/career endeavors. Even if work takes some enjoyment away from your personal interests and relationships, you are optimistic that everything will work out for the best. Engaging in meaningful work, especially that which brings travel, more prestige, or overall expansion of your skills and knowledge will appeal to you. You can devote an enormous amount of time and effort to a work-related goal and, at the same time, thoroughly enjoy the experience. Co-workers as well as influential people will notice your dedication and high aspirations, and rewards or promotions may be forthcoming.

You may feel relief by bringing certain issues out in the open at this time. If you have any worries or concerns in your personal life, this is a good time to search for the resources to resolve them. During this period there can be opportunities to heal or stabilize your relations with friends, family members, siblings, and close associates. Your wit and humor can assist you in talking your way out of a complicated or long-standing situation and get things back on track rather quickly.

A furious battle of wills is quite possible, for you are fired up, impatient, aggressive, and inclined to put your own interests and desires ahead of anything else. You may also have to stand up for your rights against some fierce competitor. Also, you can't sit still right now and hasty, abrupt, impulsive action may result in accidents.

Apr 12, 2009 11 PM(Apr 12, 2009 to Apr 13, 2009)Merc Trine Plu

There is great depth to your conversations. You find yourself revealing secrets or very private matters, and also asking very penetrating questions of others. Superficial answers don't satisfy you now. This is an excellent time to investigate a complex problem or mystery, look for something that has been lost or hidden, and also to learn more about your own inner depths.

Apr 13, 2009 (Apr 10, 2009 to Apr 15, 2009)Vesta Oppos MC

Your focus and attention may be directed to the more private areas of your life. You can be very devoted and committed to family matters and will make personal sacrifices if necessary. You tend to shy away from public affairs and heavy work obligations. You may put your efforts into making your home life a safe sanctuary from the pressures of job and society. Personal affairs can overshadow your work ambitions and interfere with your professional standing. In some instances the reverse is also true, but even if you are a workaholic, you will still try to be faithful to your promises and obligations in your domestic life. Clearly, there is a need to balance your dedication to both home and work interests.

Emotional tension in a marital or love relationship is likely at this time. If you have a tendency to be possessive or overprotective of your loved ones, then this behavior will be more pronounced during this period. It is possible you may experience tearful and frustrating moments caused by unconscious feelings of jealousy, rejection and oversensitivity in an intimate relationship. Your moods can be so changeable that your partner has difficulty assessing what your true motivations are. Your lover or spouse may be afraid of upsetting you emotionally and, therefore, suppress his or her inner feelings about your actions. On the other hand, your mother, wife, or girlfriend may be transmitting mixed signals in their emotional dealings with you.

This is one of the least favorable times to make a decision or sign a contract, as your communication with others is likely to be fraught with misunderstanding or even outright deception. Your thinking is rather fuzzy now and you are more gullible or swayed by feelings, images, and ideals rather than seeing situations and people as they are. Your imagination is very active at this time.

Apr 14, 2009 (Mar 26, 2009 to May 5, 2009) Ura Conj Pal

At this time you may develop new and original concepts, patterns, plans, and ideas, mostly centering around your mental/intellectual activities or creative and business endeavors. Boring or routine and repetitive tasks are eliminated or updated, as you may feel they are too restrictive or unsuitable for future application. This is a time to make new discoveries and apply innovation, creativity, and imagination in your pursuits and undertakings. Relationships or joint partnerships with others may undergo changes during this period. Cooperative efforts are favorable if they allow you room for personal development and independence; otherwise, they are subject to sudden and abrupt breaks. You may lose interest in people in your life who are incapable of keeping up with your new ideas and progressive changes. Similarly, you are more apt to form new alliances with individuals who provide you with mental and creative stimulation. You may be attracted to partnerships or relationships which are unusual or unconventional or with people from a different background or upbringing from your own.

Apr 14, 2009 10 PM(Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 15, 2009)Sun Trine Ura

You have a low tolerance for boredom and following rules today and you make some creative changes and discoveries, experiment with new possibilities, or invent a new way of doing things.

You don't want to follow anybody else's lead at this time, but fortunately you are able find ways to be yourself and even be a little "crazy" without offending or upsetting others. This is a dynamic and exciting period. Take advantage of any unusual offers or opportunities.

Apr 14, 2009 11 PM(Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 15, 2009) Sun Sqr Sat

This is a time of considerable frustration and your desires or efforts appear to be thwarted or at least delayed. Relationships with men and people in authority may be particularly uncomfortable. Also, you have more self-doubt than usual; your mood is somber and rather self-critical. This is a good time to take stock of your life, to see how you are limiting and holding yourself back, and to determine your next steps. But do not attempt to press forward now, and don't take whatever setbacks you experience too much too heart.

Apr 15, 2009 3 AM(Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 16, 2009)Mars Conj Pal

Confidence, determination, and eagerness may give you added incentive to promote personal or professional ambitions during this time. Sharp thinking is backed by action and follow-through on business or creative endeavors. The ability to quickly grasp new ideas, plans, and objectives will bring you more self-assurance and you may take bold steps to actualize any undertaking or project at this time. Developing new methods for a work-related or creative assignment can be productive and successful, as well as bring recognition and support from others.

Apr 15, 2009 (Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009)Vesta Sxtil Merc

Your work and responsibilities may engage much of your attention at this time. Keeping up-to-date on business correspondence, filing, and telephone communications is favored now. Your mind is centered on productivity and devoting yourself to doing the best job possible. You should take advantage of this opportunity to improve upon your writing and comprehension skills, as this time period may allow you to quickly process information and effectively broadcast your thoughts and ideas.

Apr 16, 2009 12 AM(Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009)Mars Sxtil Vesta

This is a good time to work on personal as well as business matters. You may feel like doing something that stimulates your ego drives or get passionately involved in a special interest, project, or activity at this time. It is likely you will have enough energy and motivation to carry out your desires and ambitions. However, the urge to work independently or without much involvement with other people may be very strong now. Although this may be a productive period in which you can accomplish a great deal, it is still important to maintain close ties and relationships with others.

Apr 16, 2009 12 AM(Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Merc Sqr Sun

There is much activity; you move rapidly from one thing to another and a hectic, somewhat stressful pace is likely. Many errands, phone calls, letters which require a response, and other "busywork" is on the agenda. A minor but rather tense confrontation is likely.

Apr 16, 2009 7 AM(Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009)Mars Qucnx Ura

Apr 16, 2009 8 AM(Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009)Mars Sxtil Sat

Self-discipline, training, persevering through a dry or slow period, and working quietly or in meager circumstances are themes in this time period. You have the ability and stamina to concentrate, to work carefully and thoroughly, and to accomplish something modest, yet of real practical value and substance now.

Apr 16, 2009 (Mar 27, 2009 to Aug 4, 2009) Chi Oppos Ura

You can become very defiant, rebellious and disruptive during this period. You find it increasingly difficult to comply or conform to other people's demands or expectations. You may react in an unpredictable manner toward your friends and acquaintances, creating conflict and resisting that which you view as outdated ways of doing things. It may seem impossible to stop yourself from doing the opposite of what others tell you to do. You feel your own "original" ideas are much more important than the ideas of others; therefore, it is difficult for you to go along with the plans of anyone else. If you attempt to exchange your ideas with others now, you may give the impression that your views are peculiar or non-conventional. On the other hand, the reverse situation can occur at this time. You may experience hurt and disappointment through someone around you who behaves in an unusual or peculiar fashion.

Apr 18, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 20, 2009)Vesta Conj Moon

Work ambitions may be put aside while you turn inward to focus on personal issues at this time. This is a favorable time to prove your devotion and commitment to your loved ones and also to put your own emotional needs into perspective. Relations with the women in your life can help you to bring out your sensitivity and sympathetic responses to others, and you appreciate their warmth and assurance. You may reflect on matters of the past and feel an urgency to dedicate yourself to working on resolving these issues. This is a good time to apply your efforts to maintaining secure and healthy emotional attachments with others.

Apr 20, 2009 (Apr 18, 2009 to Apr 22, 2009)Pal Sxtil Plu

You transcend your own self-gratification and link with others on common goals that benefit the whole. You have opportunities for joint efforts which exploit a talent or skill that you possess. Involvements with collective groups are deep and intense and transform your purpose for the better. You receive recognition and approval of your concepts, foresight and strategies. At this time, if you misuse your creative intelligence and power, these possibilities will not become apparent to you.

Apr 20, 2009 3 PM(Apr 19, 2009 to Apr 21, 2009) Sun Sqr Jup

You are optimistic and possibly extravagant now. You are less cautious than usual, feeling that nothing can possibly go wrong. If you are inclined to overindulge, overspend, or go to excesses in any manner, this tendency is exaggerated at this time.

However, you also aim higher than usual and a very promising opportunity or contact can also occur.

Apr 21, 2009 (Apr 19, 2009 to June 4, 2009) Mars 2nd H.

If you have been passive or nonchalant about business affairs, finances, and material security, you will begin taking a more active, positive attitude toward this area of your life. Increased ambition and enterprise are likely, but arguments over money are also more frequent than usual now.

Apr 21, 2009 (Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 28, 2009)Jup Qucnx Mars

Poor physical coordination or faulty timing can create minor accidents. You are inclined to take risks that overextend your energy reserves and to have bursts of activity followed by weakness or exhaustion. If you pace yourself, being careful not to bite off more than you can chew, the results of anything you undertake will be better.

You might be tempted to do something that is questionable ethically, cutting corners or otherwise acting in a way that is not entirely honorable, in the expectation that something great will come of it. However, this would lead to either legal trouble or damage to your long term goals.

Apr 22, 2009 (Apr 19, 2009 to Apr 25, 2009)Juno Oppos Plu

Misunderstandings can arise in your marriage or love relationship because of jealousy, possessiveness and insecurities. There is the likelihood of either you or your partner using negative emotions and subtle manipulating to control the actions of the other. For instance, if you or your mate have been unhappy in the relationship, then these tactics may be unconsciously used to destroy and weaken the very fabric of your union. While undergoing this astrological influence, it would be beneficial for you to be more tolerant and forgiving of your mate and to develop your own inner trust and self control. If you are suspicious or possessive of your partner, then perhaps there are unresolved, complex problems in the relationship which need to be brought out at this time. These underlying obstacles will have to be addressed and released before you can rationalize any uncontrollable or negative behavior toward your loved one.

This would not be the most advantageous time to begin a new love relationship. Indeed, if you meet someone during this period, you may feel enormously compelled to be with this person. However, avoid becoming heavily involved too quickly and allow the relationship to unfold at its own pace.

Apr 27, 2009 (Apr 7, 2009 to May 23, 2009)Ura Sxtil Vesta

Favorable changes can come through your career plans, work environment, or colleagues at this time. New and exciting developments or contacts may give you a chance to make a strategic move in professional and personal goals. You may feel motivated to make changes in your work and ambitions, such as eliminating wasteful activities or exploring new innovations and interests in this area. During this period, you will derive satisfaction from work which allows you to have free rein and which permits you to maintain your ideals.

Apr 28, 2009 (Mar 20, 2009 to May 6, 2009) Ceres Sqr MC

Note that the precise timing of this astrological influence is very dependent on the exact birth time, so the dates given are accurate only if your birth time is very accurate.

May 2, 2009 (Apr 11, 2009 to June 1, 2009)Ura Qucnx Ura

Inconsistency and instability characterize this time period. You may feel strangely disoriented for a while. You are detaching, changing, and hopefully opening yourself up to new directions and inspiration. However, nervous tension, anxiety about the state of flux in your life, and an overall feeling of not quite being able to get your bearings may trouble you considerably. Realize you do not have to do everything at once and that you do have the capacity to adapt to the new. Although you may not be completely organized, you are more open than ever to a liberation of your mind and spirit. Contact with the earth and with nature can calm you considerably.

May 4, 2009 (Apr 13, 2009 to June 4, 2009)Ura Sxtil Sat

You are less rigid in your attitudes to others now. Various stereotypes or prejudices that you have are chipped away during this time period. You are likely to have interactions with people of various political persuasions, religious faiths, or life styles that show you that your rigid categories and classifications are not always appropriate. Now is the time when you can become more responsive to actual situations and conditions rather than to your rigid image of them. You are better able to see some good even in the worst people and, on the other hand, to see some bad in people that you idolize. Even if you consider yourself to be a very liberal, unbiased person, you will probably still react negatively to certain classes of people, such as those with opposing political affiliations, conservatives, for example. Now is the time to break down these crystallized attitudes and ideas.

This increased flexibility and responsiveness develops rather easily now, and consequently this is a very positive time. You feel less restricted and confined by circumstances in your life.

Because you are less rigid and dogmatic in your approach now, you are also able to work more effectively with people or organizations that you have had difficulty with before. If you are involved in a relationship where one person feels stifled or dominated by the other, now is a good time to focus energy on resolving this problem and gaining a better mutual respect for each other. This is also a good time for business relations and any interaction with government agencies and organizations. Progress can be made more easily now since there is less bureaucratic inefficiency and more responsiveness to the immediate needs and concerns that require attention.
