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 on the next page.

This can be a deeply emotional and sensitive time period in your life. You are easily impressed by your surroundings and by the views, beliefs, and opinions of others, as well as vulnerable to delicate situations which may arise during this period. You might change your feelings and views on various issues just to gain a sense of belonging or fitting in with the crowd. It may be that your conscious thinking is clouded by anxieties, fears, and psychological complexes stemming from past memories and experiences in your life. This period may bring situations or dilemmas which remind you of actual past events or premonitions where you were subjected to hurt or victimization. You may have an underlying urge to retreat when you believe a confrontation or problem with another individual will surface. Standing up for your inner beliefs and values may be difficult, but necessary, in order to avoid letting someone take advantage of you. Searching deep within for new perspectives or exploring your intuitive awareness can be beneficial at this time. Or it may be helpful now to soothe or work on healing old psychological wounds with meditation and grounding or centering practices.

Jan 22, 2009 (Jan 21, 2009 to Jan 23, 2009) Merc Sxtil Moon

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.

Jan 23, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 24, 2009) Merc Sxtil Mars

You are eager to discuss your thoughts and plans with others at this time and you may have a very fruitful brainstorming session, a spirited debate, or a very active meeting with others in which things really get accomplished. You are verbally assertive and can present your own plan or idea quite convincingly.

Jan 23, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 25, 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 23, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 25, 2009) Mars Sqr Ven

Your amorous feelings and passions are strong and compelling at this time, and you tend to be very demanding of a lover's energy and affection. Tensions may erupt in close relationships because one of you feels that you have been giving more and not receiving enough in return, or one of you is more amorous than the other. Frustrated love desire can easily turn to anger or irritability at this time.

Jan 23, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 24, 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 23, 2009 (Jan 22, 2009 to Jan 25, 2009) Ven Qucnx Ven

Differences in styles, personal tastes, aesthetic appreciation, or values is an issue in your life at this time. You may feel unloved or not valued due to differences in the way you and a significant other express affection. In social situations, you may well feel out of place, awkward, and ill at ease; perhaps you run into an old lover or are in a social setting which is distinctly different from the one you are familiar with. You are apt to be conciliatory and gracious about making adjustments and concessions, but you feel rather uncomfortable internally.

Jan 24, 2009 (Jan 23, 2009 to Jan 25, 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 25, 2009 (Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 2009) Merc Sxtil Merc

A nonstop flow of communication between yourself and the people in your immediate environment is likely today. You may engage in interesting and informative discussions or fritter your time away in inconsequential chatter and gossip. Mental curiosity or restlessness may also impel you to take a short trip or visit.

Jan 25, 2009 (Jan 24, 2009 to Jan 26, 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 26, 2009 (Jan 25, 2009 to Jan 27, 2009) Sun Sxtil Sun

Friendships and cooperative endeavors flourish now. You achieve a harmonious balance of giving and receiving and of talking and listening, and any social or joint activity will benefit.

Jan 27, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Jan 28, 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 27, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Jan 28, 2009) Sun Sxtil Pal

You are likely to enjoy activities which promote your creativity and intellectual awareness. This is a favorable time to bring your natural talents to the fore, especially any artistic ability you may possess. Your mental powers are also sharp, so this is a good period to further your knowledge in a particular field or expertise. Your most productive and creative work can reward you with an inner sense of purpose, significance, and dignity at this time.

Jan 28, 2009 (Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 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.

Jan 28, 2009 (Jan 27, 2009 to Jan 29, 2009) Ven Trine Juno

This is a favorable time for love and marital relationships. You and a mate or lover can have the opportunity to enjoy mutual interests and find satisfactory solutions to any problems that might arise now. You will want your loving companion to be there for you, to share in your ups and downs, and to show loyalty and commitment to the relationship. You expect the same devotion and affection which you lavish on your mate to be fully reciprocated now. Entertaining in your home or hosting an event or party with your mate or spouse would be rewarding to you. If you are currently unattached, this period may feature a brand-new love attraction whom you may meet during a social gathering.

Jan 29, 2009 (Jan 25, 2009 to Feb 2, 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.

Jan 29, 2009 (Jan 28, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009) Mars Sxtil Merc

You have a lot of mental energy and are eager to "attack" intellectual or conceptual problems. You are likely to come up with a clever solution or a very workable plan, especially if you brainstorm with others. You also tend to make up your mind very quickly and decisively now and to translate your ideas into action.

Jan 29, 2009 (Jan 28, 2009 to Jan 30, 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.

Jan 29, 2009 (Jan 28, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009) Ven Sqr Ceres

You may find yourself uncomfortable and confined by loved ones who cramp your lifestyle at this time. You might have to administer a little tender, loving care to yourself before attending to the needs and responsibilities of those in your care. Family members or a mate in particular may be especially difficult to satisfy at this time. Social and domestic affairs may seem unsettling or unorganized and you may be left with the task of having to pull things together for the sake of peace and harmony.

Jan 30, 2009 (Jan 29, 2009 to Jan 31, 2009) Ven Trine Mars

You feel quite amorous and affectionate now and will very much want to share this time with someone you love or at least with congenial company. Your creative or artistic inclinations are also stimulated, and your work in these areas will be especially satisfying and successful at this time.

Jan 30, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 3, 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.

Jan 31, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 1, 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.

Jan 31, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 1, 2009) Ven Trine Moon

You are in a mood to relax and enjoy harmonious surroundings. Your family and friends are a source of particular pleasure and satisfaction, and you may wish to treat them or pamper them in some way. Appreciation for your home and a desire to make it more beautiful or comfortable is strong now also.

Jan 31, 2009 (Jan 27, 2009 to Feb 4, 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.

Jan 31, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 1, 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.

Jan 31, 2009 (Jan 30, 2009 to Feb 2, 2009) Mars Sxtil Mars

You are capable of forceful, decisive action, and you have the will to carry through on your intentions at this time. Physically, you feel good and your energy is flowing smoothly. Also, your interactions with others are feisty and spirited. You inspire others to take action, and group efforts or joint projects are favored.

Feb 1, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 5, 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.

Feb 1, 2009 (Jan 29, 2009 to Feb 3, 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.

Feb 1, 2009 (Jan 29, 2009 to Feb 3, 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.

Feb 1, 2009 (Jan 31, 2009 to Feb 3, 2009) Mars Sxtil Moon

You easily become fired up emotionally at this time, especially about people, places, or causes you have a strong attachment to from the past, such as your alma mater or your home town. You care more passionately and respond instinctively and emotionally to whatever happens to you at this time. Also, you are energized and invigorated now and eager to be involved in projects that benefit your children, family, or home.

Feb 2, 2009 (Jan 29, 2009 to Feb 5, 2009) Vesta Qucnx Sun

There may be several adjustments or choices to make with regard to your career or personal goals. For example, if you have been overzealous in your plans to achieve your professional goals and have allowed this dedication to overshadow your personal life, then you will need to alter your behavior to give more attention to your close relationships and other meaningful areas of your life. Whether or not work is your primary goal in life, you may find you have alienated the important individuals in your life because of the belief that your own sense of purpose is all that matters. You might have to sacrifice some of your own self-interest in order to achieve balance in your intimate relationships.

Feb 3, 2009 (Jan 29, 2009 to Feb 7, 2009) Jup Sxtil Sun

This time period is harmonious and pleasant. Relationships are particularly pleasant and productive now, and you will find that business agreements and partnerships formed now work out very well. Cooperation and camaraderie is strong now, and you may receive a gift or offer from someone.

This is a wonderful time to simply enjoy life; you find it easy now to put any worries or concerns to the side. You are likely to spend some time with friends or take a weekend vacation and thoroughly enjoy it. Have fun!

Feb 3, 2009 (Jan 28, 2009 to Feb 7, 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 4, 2009 (Jan 28, 2009 to Feb 9, 2009) Ceres Sqr Jup

Both the home environment and workplace can pose dilemmas for you at this time. Travel and business transactions can prove stressful. There may be legal affairs which arise now and prove to be costly later on. In your personal life, you or your loved ones may overindulge in personal pleasures, such as eating junk foods, overspending, or satisfying addictive habits such as gambling, smoking, or alcohol. The home atmosphere may seem like a battleground, with everyone's needs and desires in abundance, leaving you less time for your own individual freedom. This can be a time when you must sacrifice many hours of pleasure for career purposes or family demands. If you are a parent, your children may avoid their duties and responsibilities at school or in the home, thereby increasing your involvement with their education or discipline. On a personal level, there may be a need to modify your diet, as you may find yourself overeating in order to compensate for being inadequately nurtured.

Feb 5, 2009 (Feb 2, 2009 to Feb 7, 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 5, 2009 (Feb 2, 2009 to Feb 9, 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 6, 2009 (Feb 1, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009) Pal Oppos Sun

Plans to advance your goals may be hit with delays or setbacks. During this time, your creativity and foresight might come to a standstill. You have difficulty in visualizing your aims and objectives due to a lack of faith in your own intuitive abilities. Others do not show support or encouragement for your suggestions and creative projects. Possibly, you may have to guard against a demanding and arrogant boss or co-worker who purposely disputes your planning and talent on the job. You want to defend your views, but instead you are fearful of rejection and disapproval.

If you are an artist or writer or in another creative field, this would be a useful period to meditate and reflect in a quiet, tranquil environment. You will need to rejuvenate your imaginative and perceptive instincts.

Feb 6, 2009 (Feb 4, 2009 to Feb 9, 2009) Juno Sxtil Sun

Personal relationships should take on new depths at this time. Being available to your partner and feeling totally natural in their presence promises you a comfortable relationship now. There will be mutual recognition of each other's worth and integrity and you will not have to change your personality to suit your mate's desires. There is more tolerance, honesty and faith in your relationship, leading to opportunities for greater commitment and pledges of love for each other. Pleasures, entertainment, and social activities shared with loved ones are highly favorable.

Feb 7, 2009 (Feb 3, 2009 to Feb 11, 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 7, 2009 (Feb 3, 2009 to Feb 12, 2009) Jup Sxtil Pal

Your intuitive and perceptive capabilities are enhanced at this time. This is a favorable period in which to broaden your mental and creative outlook beyond the scope of your present horizons. Spiritual, intellectual, educational, creative, legal, and business endeavors are significant areas of personal growth and success during this period. You may make a lucky connection with a prominent, professional, wealthy, or influential person who can provide you with guidance, wisdom, or self-assurance at this time.

Feb 8, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 22, 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.

Feb 9, 2009 (Jan 26, 2009 to Feb 22, 2009) Chi Trine Ven

This is a time when social invitations may open more doors than usual. You have more interest in cultural and aesthetic experiences that offer novelty and deviation from your usual activities. There is a chance that another individual you encounter will want to help you promote some rather unique and creative ideas. This period can also bring improvements in your love life. You can think up various ways to put more romance in your marriage or rekindle an old relationship. If playing the field, you may discover you are making a transition into a more harmonious and intimate relationship with one particular individual. There can be a subtle difference in the way you relate to loved ones, such as being more attentive, soft, and tender or your tastes may change and you seek greater refinement and balance in your partnerships.

Feb 9, 2009 (Feb 6, 2009 to Feb 11, 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 9, 2009 (Feb 7, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009) Merc Sxtil Merc

Feb 9, 2009 (Feb 8, 2009 to Feb 10, 2009) Merc Sxtil Juno

Feb 9, 2009 (Feb 8, 2009 to Feb 10, 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 9, 2009 (Feb 8, 2009 to Feb 10, 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 10, 2009 (Feb 6, 2009 to Feb 13, 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 10, 2009 (Feb 9, 2009 to Feb 11, 2009) Ven Sqr Sat

Withdrawing from emotional social contact is favored now, for even when you are with others you are likely to feel separate and alone. Sadness and disappointments in your personal life are also probable now. Inadequacies and flaws in your friends or lovers are particularly bothersome to you now, and you may feel that you have nearly exhausted your patience for dealing with these problems. It is a time to be quiet and to look objectively at how your relationships are going. Though not a pleasurable time, this can be a fruitful period in which to learn more about love and what you truly value.

Feb 10, 2009 (Feb 9, 2009 to Feb 12, 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 11, 2009 (Feb 10, 2009 to Feb 12, 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.

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 12, 2009 (Feb 11, 2009 to Feb 13, 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 12, 2009 (Feb 11, 2009 to Feb 13, 2009) Merc Sxtil Moon

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.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 11, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009) Mars Sxtil Sun

Your physical drive and energy level are high now, and you can accomplish a great deal fairly easily. You are inclined to take the initiative or to strike out on your own, and you are likely to be successful at what you attempt at this time. Because you assert yourself in a positive manner, a leadership role or an opportunity to do something you have wanted to do on your own is likely to be offered to you.

Feb 13, 2009 (Jan 23, 2009 to Mar 3, 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.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 11, 2009 to Feb 14, 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.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 11, 2009 to Feb 15, 2009) Ven Trine Pal

Your romantic and social responses are heightened now. During this period you tend to put more creativity and imagination into your life and important relationships. A healthy attitude toward your love life and social involvements can bring out the best in yourself, your talents, and strengths and a new clarity regarding your relationships. New contacts you make at this time can help give creative or artistic endeavors a tremendous boost. You may meet someone who shares your interests and intellect in this regard.

Feb 13, 2009 (Jan 24, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Ura Qucnx Ven

Social or romantic indiscretions, impulsive extravagances, or radical changes in your love life are indicated. Rumblings of discontent should be heeded, lest a total disruption in a significant relationship comes to pass.

You may encounter someone at this time who turns your world upside down, or who will introduce some element of chaos into your life. Strange tastes and exotic or bizarre attractions to people, food, art or clothing styles are likely. Originality, independence, and striking out in new directions in these areas of your life are on the agenda, yet there may be some resistance or awkward transition involved.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 12, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009) Sun Sqr Merc

A fast pace, with many letters, phone calls, errands, meetings, or discussions, is on the agenda. You may feel mentally restless, impatient, and overly eager to get your own ideas across. Also, a situation may arise which requires you to say what is on your mind, to make a decision, or to clearly voice your personal opinion on some issue.

Feb 13, 2009 (Feb 12, 2009 to Feb 14, 2009) Sun Sqr Juno

Intimate relationships could come under increasing strain from clashes of will, jealousy, selfishness, or authority issues. You might feel at cross-purposes with your mate, one or both of you trying to prove your self-importance. Pay close attention to preserving the respect, dignity, and commitment in your marriage or partnership. Try to avoid acting overbearing toward your spouse or mate and instead attempt to be more tolerant of their individual needs at this time. It is best not to allow too much pride to get in the way of coming to an agreement or compromise with your partner.

Feb 14, 2009 (Feb 13, 2009 to Feb 15, 2009) Mars Sqr Nep

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.

Feb 14, 2009 (Feb 13, 2009 to Feb 15, 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.

Feb 14, 2009 (Feb 13, 2009 to Feb 15, 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.

Feb 15, 2009 (Feb 14, 2009 to Feb 16, 2009) Sun Sqr Mars

You know just what you want right now and woe to anyone or anything that gets in your way! You are much more likely to become domineering, pushy, or inconsiderate of others now, so it is a good time for you to do what you need to do by yourself rather than with others. Accidents, mistakes made in haste, or ego conflicts may occur due to your impatience and willfulness. Positively, physical energy is high and you could accomplish a great deal.

Feb 16, 2009 (Feb 15, 2009 to Feb 17, 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 18, 2009 (Feb 15, 2009 to Feb 20, 2009) Juno Sxtil Jup

There may be a positive feeling of acceptance and benevolence in your marriage or love relationship. You understand the need to give each other room to breathe and you have the willingness and openness to deal with any problems that may arise. There is a strong sense of each other's individual growth, and you will try to avoid making heavy demands on your mate at this time. This is a favorable time to discuss your future ideals and aspirations for the partnership. There may be opportunities to travel together for a pleasurable vacation. This is a lucky and optimistic phase in a marriage or committed union.

If you are unattached, you will probably have very high ideals about what you want in a relationship now. You may be attracted to or meet someone who is uplifting and helps you to grow personally and spiritually.

Feb 18, 2009 (Feb 15, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009) Vesta Qucnx Jup

There is a possibility that you will need to adapt to a new work situation or to unsettling challenges on the job. For example, you may be putting a great deal of effort into your work now, only to discover that your enthusiasm is met with indifference from superiors or co-workers. You can easily overestimate your abilities, leading to conflicts with others if you promise more than you can deliver. Your work ethics and principles will undergo a change or need to be re-examined. If you always set high standards for your work, then you may be forced to adjust to new conditions which are less than ideal. On the other hand, if your outlook and expectations are lower, then this period challenges you to set new goals for future growth and progress.

Feb 19, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 20, 2009) Mars Sxtil Jup

Doors open and new opportunities for personal and professional growth present themselves.

Your energy level is high; this is a good time for athletics, especially team sports.

Feb 19, 2009 (Feb 17, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009) Ven Trine Jup

Emotional well-being and contentment characterize this time period. You feel quite relaxed and carefree, and this would be a splendid time for a vacation. Laziness, self-indulgence, and expecting everything to work out well with no effort on your part are negative possibilities now. You feel very lucky and you are likely to be lax or extravagant with your money. Material benefits are, indeed, likely at this time, but beware of being overly generous or depending too much on Lady Luck.

Feb 19, 2009 (Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 20, 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 19, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 21, 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.

Feb 20, 2009 (Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 21, 2009) Merc Sxtil Sun

This is a busy time; communicating and getting in touch with others is very likely. Numerous phone calls, letters, meetings, errands, or discussions bring you into contact with others. This is a good time to brainstorm with others, share ideas, and come to a group consensus.

Feb 20, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 23, 2009) Ven Qucnx Vesta

Inattentiveness, disinterest, or a sense that something is lacking in your romantic life or a current love affair may be indicated now. It is likely that interests, obligations, and involvements outside your relationship are fulfilling some of your needs now; therefore, difficult rifts and tension can occur between you and a lover or mate. There is a tendency to be indecisive or wavering in your commitment and reliability as far as love and romance is concerned now. This time period can coincide with a temporary break or separation from a loved one. It may be necessary to make a heartfelt effort to give more time, devotion, and appreciation to your relationships without sacrificing your own needs and desires in the process.

Feb 21, 2009 (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 21, 2009 (Feb 20, 2009 to Feb 22, 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.

Feb 22, 2009 (Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 25, 2009) Pal Oppos Jup

You are at odds with authority figures and business professionals. Your goals and aspirations appear either extravagant or overstated to these people, and you encounter disapproval toward your important aims and directions. You may have abundant creative ability; however, you have to compromise so your expectations suit the needs and objectives of the people who are instrumental to your career goals. Try not to presume that your luck has run out; you may just need to develop your negotiating skills to in order to reach a suitable agreement. Legal difficulties may arise, which could prove costly in the long run.

Feb 22, 2009 (Feb 18, 2009 to Feb 26, 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 23, 2009 (Feb 19, 2009 to Feb 28, 2009) Jup Sxtil Jup

Socializing and having a good time with others is highlighted now. You may vacation or travel with a friend. You may also meet people of importance or influence.

Feb 24, 2009 (Feb 23, 2009 to Feb 25, 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.

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.

Feb 24, 2009 (Feb 23, 2009 to Feb 25, 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.

Feb 24, 2009 (Feb 23, 2009 to Feb 25, 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 24, 2009 to Feb 26, 2009) Sun Sqr Sun

You may feel temporarily blocked now. Resistance and challenges from others or from outside situations suggest that this is not a good time to try to force your will and desires upon the world, as friction is the only likely result. Relations with men can be especially tense.

Feb 25, 2009 (Feb 21, 2009 to Mar 2, 2009) Jup Sqr Vesta

Be prepared to follow through on your commitments and responsibilities in work-related or personal affairs. You may have to tie up loose ends in order to move forward in business or private matters at this time. If you can harness your enthusiasm and use your powers of motivation, determination, and self-discipline, you may be able to accomplish the most difficult professional or personal goals. However, you must balance your focus and energy to avoid burn-out and exhaustion. When dealing with colleagues or those in authority, avoid overstating your capabilities as they may place extra burdens on you now. Some constructive risk-taking concerning your goals and aspirations may be necessary, but you must be certain your expectations are realistic.

Feb 26, 2009 (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 26, 2009 (Feb 25, 2009 to Feb 27, 2009) Sun Sqr Pal

You might feel self-conscious or lack trust in expressing your creative and talented abilities. As a result, indecision or uncertainty can interfere with or hinder your progress on goals and objectives at this time. A weakly planned project or work activity can cause frustration or not reflect your true intentions, as mental confusion may cloud your good judgment. You might have difficulty in situations which require you to use tact, diplomacy, and patience. Try to respect your intuitive impressions, as they can help give warning of circumstances, people, or things you should avoid at this time.

Feb 26, 2009 (Feb 22, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Ceres Sqr Sun

You may be upset at this time over problems on the home front. You feel a sense of discord in your immediate environment over conflicting demands and activities of family members, friends, or co-workers. It becomes quite a challenge to meet everyone's needs and find time for yourself in the process. This suggests you will sacrifice your own personal desires for the sake of others. However, the emotional closeness and intimacy you crave in return may be denied. Or a period of isolation or separation from loved ones can occur at this time. You need to concentrate on recognizing your own self-worth and replenishing your overtaxed system to protect your health and well-being.

Mar 1, 2009 (Feb 25, 2009 to Mar 5, 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.

Mar 1, 2009 (Feb 28, 2009 to Mar 2, 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.

Mar 2, 2009 (Mar 1, 2009 to Mar 3, 2009) Sun Trine Vesta

You will have luck in reaching agreements with superiors and co-workers. Business opportunities allow you to get ahead or promote your own interests. You may get more attention than usual as a result of success in your area of expertise. Important feedback or approval from a superior may boost your enthusiasm toward work objectives. Although work may be especially gratifying to you now, make an effort to share your pleasant experiences with your mate or a loved one.

Mar 2, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 3, 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 2, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 3, 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 3, 2009 (Feb 26, 2009 to Mar 7, 2009) Ceres Trine Sat

This is a good time to develop your skills or further your education in the healing professions such as counseling, nursing, or medicine or in a government field. You have a strength of purpose in your abilities to provide love and care for others and to use sound judgment in your dealings with them. Business trends are favorable and you may be selected to take on an additional role in your career. Your home life increases in enjoyment and there may be the possibility of responsibilities being lifted as another person in the family assumes your tasks. A parent or child or mate may supply your needs with sincere concern and caring.

Mar 3, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 4, 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 3, 2009 (Mar 2, 2009 to Mar 4, 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 4, 2009 (Mar 3, 2009 to Mar 5, 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 5, 2009 (Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 6, 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.

Mar 5, 2009 (Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 6, 2009) Merc Sqr Juno

You may encounter petty disagreements with your romantic or marital partner now. It is important to refrain from making retaliatory remarks or becoming resentful toward your partner if you don't see eye to eye. Try to ignore minor differences and worries which interfere with the normal flow of communication between you and your mate. If you find it a challenge to deal with the daily routines and obligations of your relationship, apply a little patience and understanding to help relieve any pressures that build.

Mar 6, 2009 (Mar 4, 2009 to Mar 7, 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 6, 2009 (Mar 5, 2009 to Mar 7, 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 6, 2009 (Mar 6, 2009 to Mar 7, 2009) Merc Sqr Mars

Errors made in haste, speaking too forcefully, sharp words spoken on impulse, or accidents occurring due to restlessness and impatience are all possible at this time.

You feel that you have to fight for what you want or believe in, and you are very clear, decisive, and convincing right now, but you also tend to stir up more controversy or competitive feelings than is really necessary.

Mar 7, 2009 (Mar 6, 2009 to Mar 8, 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 8, 2009 (Mar 7, 2009 to Mar 10, 2009) Mars Sqr Merc

Verbal battles, disputes, and heated debates are very likely at this time because you speak your mind without much forethought, tact, or consideration of consequences. Right now you will say the things you usually only think, especially to people you disagree with. Also, you are quite impatient and easily frustrated and are inclined to move about too quickly and abruptly, which can cause accidents. Unless you slow your pace down a bit, this time period can be quite a headache.

Mar 9, 2009 (Mar 7, 2009 to Mar 10, 2009) Mars Sqr Juno

Feelings of impatience, anger, or dissatisfaction within a marriage or romantic partnership are key issues during this period. The give and take, sharing, and emotional reciprocity in a relationship may be difficult to achieve at this time. You want to deal with problems and conflicts in your relationship, but your loved one may be disinterested, making joint cooperation difficult to achieve. This can be a time when involvements with activities, interests, work, responsibilities, and people outside your relationship infringe upon your commitment, affection, devotion, or attention to each other's needs. Using patience, adult-like consideration, diplomacy, and tact may help to avoid heavy emotional confrontations or to curb any impulsive action and behavior during this period.

Mar 10, 2009 (Mar 8, 2009 to Mar 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.

Mar 11, 2009 (Mar 10, 2009 to Mar 12, 2009) Mars Sqr Mars

At this time you must guard against being too aggressive, coming on too strong, or trying to force your own will and thereby arousing hostility in others. Also, frustrated desires and obstacles to achieving your aims can evoke enormous anger in you, and you may do something rash and regrettable. Conflicts and confrontations may be unavoidable, but do try to avoid situations which you know will provoke or irritate you. Working alone is best at this time.

Mar 11, 2009 (Mar 10, 2009 to Mar 12, 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.

Mar 11, 2009 (Mar 10, 2009 to Mar 12, 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 12, 2009 (Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 13, 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 12, 2009 (Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 13, 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 12, 2009 (Mar 11, 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 (Mar 12, 2009 to Mar 13, 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.

Mar 13, 2009 (Mar 12, 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 12, 2009 to Mar 14, 2009) Merc Sqr Pal

Minor annoyance or a bit of irritation is likely even if you have carefully organized your daily affairs. Disruptions occur in your normal routine, original plans change, or a miscommunication can throw you off course now. You might have to struggle to get a clear picture or perception of all the different activities going on around you. Uncertainties or clouded thinking could distract you from taking care of business or straightening out personal issues. Give yourself time to sort through your thoughts and feelings before acting out of habit or instinct.

Mar 13, 2009 (Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009) Juno Trine Ven

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.

Mar 13, 2009 (Mar 11, 2009 to Mar 16, 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 15, 2009 (Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009) Merc Sqr Jup

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.

Mar 15, 2009 (Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009) Sun Trine Merc

If you are a writer, teacher or student or are involved in any intellectual work, this is a positive time for you: ideas flow and it is easier than usual to express your thoughts. Also, this is a good time for buying, selling, negotiating, and communications of all kinds.

Mar 15, 2009 (Mar 14, 2009 to Mar 16, 2009) Sun Trine Juno

You will want to share pleasurable activities with your mate or marriage partner during this time. Entertainment plans, such as going to the theater or a special night out on the town together, would be appealing to you now. This period also promotes feelings of loyalty, love, and contentment toward your loved one. When you lavish your attention on your mate, you most likely will receive a warm and affectionate response. With a fresh, playful approach you can enliven your marriage or a significant relationship at this time.

Mar 15, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 16, 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.

Mar 16, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 17, 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.

Mar 17, 2009 (Mar 16, 2009 to Mar 18, 2009) Sun Trine Mars

You have an abundance of physical energy and self-confidence right now and can take on new projects and challenges with ease. You feel bolder and less dependent on others' affirmation and approval.

Taking a strong stand or striking out on your own in some manner is likely to work out well for you.

Mar 17, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009) Vesta Sqr Ura

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 17, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009) Vesta Qucnx Ven

You may feel slightly confused over a problem in a personal or professional relationship. You are more determined to resolve any ongoing dilemma in order to restore a sense of loyalty, trust and security in your work or social environment. Either you or a loved one may be going through a difficult period of change or adjustment which takes up most of your time and attention. You may need to give up some of your own personal or professional time to work on fostering better relations with your partner. On the other hand, work and financial matters need your focus and concentration and, should you need to involve other individuals or ask for favors, it is best to use diplomacy and gentle persuasion.

Mar 18, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 20, 2009) Pal Trine Ven

This is a lucky period in love relationships or in developing artistic and creative achievements. You give and receive cooperation from your close loved ones and friends. It is possible to gain approval and respect for your original ideas and accomplishments. Now is the time to put forth your goals, as your talents and natural creativity are appreciated and sought after by the outer world. You may even attract a possible partnership where both creativity and talents are the common objectives.

If you fall in love at this time or are already in a committed relationship, you feel especially tuned into your partner on a mental, spiritual, and emotional level.

Mar 18, 2009 (Mar 15, 2009 to Mar 20, 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 18, 2009 (Mar 17, 2009 to Mar 19, 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.

Mar 19, 2009 (Mar 17, 2009 to Mar 21, 2009) Ven Qucnx Vesta

Mar 20, 2009 (Mar 18, 2009 to Mar 22, 2009) Ven Trine Jup

Mar 20, 2009 (Mar 20, 2009 to Mar 21, 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.

Mar 22, 2009 (Feb 21, 2009 to May 3, 2009) Nep Sqr Merc

Be extremely careful in all practical affairs at this time. You tend to overlook details, forget to consider some aspect of a problem, and make silly mistakes. Forgetfulness can be a serious problem. For example, you might drive somewhere like the bank and then discover upon arriving there that you have forgotten something such as your bank book. In business negotiations, you forget to ask about certain details, and then discover later that you wish you had. Any major decision, such as a career decision or a large purchase such as a home, is very tricky now because of the large number of factors and possible issues that you can neglect to consider. By taking the time to go over all details, you can avoid a lot of problems and confusions! You may be tempted to trust your intuition, but it is best at this time to also double-check all important matters carefully. You are also somewhat gullible and easily deceived or manipulated now, so be very careful in dealings with others. Avoid any transactions or agreements with persons who seem like they might be somewhat dishonest because they probably are!

While lack of attentiveness and forgetfulness make this time period a difficult one for practical affairs, you can expand your awareness in intuitive areas. Any area of a psychic, spiritual, religious, or metaphysical nature is more interesting to you now than usual. Fantasy, fiction, art, music, movies, and drama are also appealing. Pursue these areas now; they open you up to new ways of seeing the world, and activate your creative imagination. This is an excellent time for learning and exploring new ideas and experiences in any of these areas. This is the time to break out of some of your accustomed ways of thinking and explore new possibilities that you are normally oblivious to. Be careful, however, in making decisions or changes in life style based on your new perceptions and ideas. For example, you may be tempted to adopt a new religious path or embrace a new philosophical perspective on life; wait until a later time to make these kinds of decisions. Now is the time to receive new ideas and explore them, not to make important decisions or commitments.

Mar 22, 2009 (Mar 20, 2009 to Mar 23, 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.

Mar 22, 2009 (Mar 21, 2009 to Mar 24, 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 22, 2009 to Mar 24, 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 23, 2009 (Mar 22, 2009 to Mar 24, 2009) Merc Trine Juno

Sharing your thoughts and ideas with your mate or marriage partner is rewarding to you now. A blending of similar interests and attitudes can help establish closer ties between you and your mate. In an ongoing relationship, pledges of love, commitment, and loyalty can be exchanged, or you can have a meaningful conversation which brings renewed vows. You or your loved one may be especially revealing with regard to affectionate feelings and open communications. Carrying out day to day routines and obligations with your companion should also prove more pleasant during this period. You may even receive an invitation or news of a wedding, birth, party, or engagement now.

Mar 23, 2009 (Mar 22, 2009 to Mar 24, 2009) Mars Sqr Sun

You are inclined to be aggressive and hot-tempered now, particularly when your will is blocked. Your pushiness or competitive attitude is likely to create antagonism, hostility, and further resistance to your efforts. It is best to work alone rather than try to cooperate or coordinate your efforts with anyone at this time. Also, you are impatient and tend to behave in an impulsive, irritable way which makes you more prone to accidents during this period.

Mar 23, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to Mar 24, 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 23, 2009 (Mar 21, 2009 to Mar 26, 2009) Juno Sqr Merc

A great amount of understanding is required now in your marriage or close love relationship. Discussions are not as congenial and are apt to be filled with misunderstandings. Either you or your partner may feel nervous and insecure when an emotional or verbal connection is attempted. There is a tendency to quickly shift from one topic to another in your daily communicating, leading both of you to misinterpret what is being said. If the tension and oversensitivity builds up in the relationship, than a true exchange of feelings will seem impossible. Try to increase your intellectual affinity with your partner through patience, courtesy and friendliness.

If you are unattached or without a committed partnership, then you may have difficulty forming a bond or new relationship at this time. The manner in which the potential partner relates to you may seem overly critical, or changeable and fickle.

Mar 24, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to Mar 25, 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.

Mar 24, 2009 (Mar 24, 2009 to Mar 25, 2009) Merc Trine Moon

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.

Mar 24, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to Mar 26, 2009) Mars Trine Nep

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 24, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to Mar 26, 2009) Mars Sqr Pal

This period may spark your competitive and assertive urges at work or in your personal life. You may feel driven to achieve your aims, hopes, and goals but must discipline your actions and thoughts to avoid making hasty moves that may result in failure or rejection from others at this time. You should use this time period to sort out various new ideas and plans before jumping the gun. You could also work on examining your activities from a new perspective to determine whether you have set clear and effective priorities. If you remain frustrated over your intentions and objectives, you may occasionally act or speak without forethought and could expose yourself to confrontations or heated debates with colleagues or acquaintances.

Mar 25, 2009 (Feb 24, 2009 to May 11, 2009) Nep Sqr Juno

A love or marital relationship may involve problematic and puzzling conditions during this period. Worrisome, irrational fears and unresolved misunderstandings may be creating havoc in your love life. You may totally avoid confronting real or negative issues in your relationship. However, you may tend to exaggerate or dwell upon superficial problems and flaws. Passivity/dominance issues may also arise now, leading to confusion over roles, game-playing, and manipulation. You should try to work with your mate on restoring trust, positive emotional relating, honesty, and compassion for one another. Avoid making excuses or trying to rationalize your predicament. If you are unattached, you may seesaw between feelings of idealized romantic notions and unrealistic fears or doubt about the institution of marriage at this time.

Mar 26, 2009 (Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 27, 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.

Mar 26, 2009 (Mar 25, 2009 to Mar 27, 2009) Sun Qucnx Plu

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.

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

A verbal or written exchange of information between you and a close associate or relative may be tense and unproductive. You may need to re-evaluate and adjust your opinions or advice in order to reach a reasonable compromise with this individual regarding your different goals and ideals. You must use caution in offering recommendations and instruction at your workplace, especially if they pertain to worker's rights or labor unions. It would be wise to uphold oral or written agreements with others to safeguard your plans and position.

You may feel a need to clear the air over unfavorable conditions in either your work or domestic environment.

Mar 28, 2009 (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 28, 2009 (Mar 27, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009) Sun Trine Pal

Projects that have been in the planning stages can be successfully implemented or brought forth at this time. Creative and intellectual endeavors are favored now, and you will most likely gain the support and appreciation from important and influential people. New possibilities to link with others on a common goal may occur and would prove quite beneficial and productive now. You have more faith in your intuition and reasoning abilities, which keeps your focus clear and helps you avoid pitfalls. This is an excellent time to display your natural talents or artistic abilities to the public.

Mar 28, 2009 (Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009) Ven Trine Sun

Mar 28, 2009 (Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 31, 2009) Juno Sqr Mars

During this period, it may be difficult to manage the intense feelings that you have about your marriage or intimate relationship. If you are feeling hostility, jealousy or impatience toward your mate, then you may initiate an argument to clear the air. If you are quite happy with the relationship, then you may simply desire more emotional, physical or sexual closeness to your partner at this time. However, if you are experiencing problems with a spouse or lover, they can become intensified now. You could sense that your loved one is interested in satisfying his or her desires in a way which is not pleasing to you. Sexual signals can get crossed, where one of you will want immediate gratification while the other is opting for a more tender and loving interchange.

If you begin a new love relationship at this time, tension can develop if you or your new mate is overly assertive or aggressive in pursuit of intimacy. There can be problems in understanding the difference between lust and affection. If the relationship is not providing you with excitement and/or moving along at a fast enough pace, then you may abandon it altogether in search of a new adventure.

Mar 28, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009) Merc Sqr Sat

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.

Mar 28, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Mar 29, 2009) Merc Qucnx Plu

Mar 28, 2009 (Mar 26, 2009 to Mar 31, 2009) Vesta Oppos Merc

You may need to work extra hard to outline the ideas, plans and goals you have formulated in your mind. Carrying out your commitments and obligations in both your career and personal life requires deep thought on your part and the ability to process the information you receive from other individuals. Unfortunately, this is a time when miscommunication is likely if you overlook important details and make decisions before you have all the facts and have a chance to think them through. You might get upset at yourself for the smallest mistake and put yourself under pressure with self-imposed deadlines. Try not to overcommit yourself to accomplishing a great deal, and instead, wait for a time when your thoughts are more concentrated on your objectives.

Mar 29, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Mar 30, 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.

Mar 29, 2009 (Mar 29, 2009 to Mar 30, 2009) Merc Qucnx Nep

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 29, 2009 (Mar 29, 2009 to Mar 30, 2009) Merc Trine Pal

Your enthusiasm and knowledge can draw new people and experiences into your life now. Your most constructive efforts will most likely be successful when you join forces with others on a common goal, project, or creative interest. Communications with friends, relatives, and associates will provide motivation, insight, and encouragement toward the fulfillment of your plans and designs. In all of your talks and dealings with others, you are eager to impress them with your ideas and opinions. Someone who reaches out to guide or assist you now could prove to be invaluable.

Mar 29, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Mar 30, 2009) Mars Sqr Jup

You are highly ambitious, full of optimism and enthusiasm for new enterprises and plans. In fact, you may be foolishly overconfident and take on more challenges than you can really meet. You are inclined to take physical risks, gamble, speculate, and to act on faith and belief in yourself. This can, in fact, be a very productive time for you if you can keep your expectations within reasonable bounds. Beware of overexerting yourself.

Mar 30, 2009 (Mar 29, 2009 to Mar 31, 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.

Mar 30, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Apr 2, 2009) Juno Sqr Moon

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.

Mar 31, 2009 (Mar 29, 2009 to Apr 2, 2009) Pal Qucnx Mars

Changes can occur in your immediate environment which will force you to make adjustments with regard to your career or creative endeavors. Thoroughly examine and analyze your actions and make sure you are well informed before making any major decisions during this time frame. For example, if your creative or mental instincts are overworked, due to demanding pressure from your job, then you will have to modify your energy drive to adapt to these new conditions. However, you must not abandon or lose insight into your cherished plans and goals as you may only need to direct them into other appropriate outlets.

Mar 31, 2009 (Mar 30, 2009 to Apr 1, 2009) Merc Trine Jup

This is a good time to travel, especially to places you've never experienced before, where you will be exposed to new ideas and different ways of looking at the world. Studying new concepts is also favored; your ability to understand abstract ideas and your desire to grow intellectually is strong now. Anything that broadens your world appeals to you at this time. You are interested in the big picture and have less attention and interest in details.

A disruptive influence can affect your work performance at this time. Frustration or mistakes can occur due to misunderstandings with co-workers or in trying to catch up on unfinished work. Your daily routine may also undergo subtle changes, putting you in the position of having to assess new information and choices. It is likely you will need to exert more mental concentration and hard work than usual to achieve your objectives at this time. In your personal life, partners, loved ones, and friends are likely to accuse you of neglecting their needs at this time.

Mar 31, 2009 (Mar 30, 2009 to Apr 1, 2009) Sun Trine Jup

This is a good time for relaxing recreation, a time to refresh and rejuvenate yourself and do the things you most enjoy doing. Good humor and optimism prevail now, and you are able to get a larger perspective on your life. This is also a good time to approach someone who is in a position to benefit you spiritually, intellectually, or materially.

Apr 1, 2009 (Mar 31, 2009 to Apr 2, 2009) Sun Qucnx Vesta

Small changes in your job routine are likely now. Although you may wish to stick with what has worked in the past, you may have to adhere to a different set of conditions. Try not to allow your ego get the best of you if a co-worker or superior upstages you in some manner or puts a cramp in your style. Keep an eye on someone who may be jealous of your successes or position. Carefully go over plans or work endeavors as they may backfire if you try too hard to make an impression on others. It is best not to force issues or create unnecessary conflict. Don't let such an exclusive focus on work cause other important areas of your life to suffer. Let a loved one or mate help lift your spirits.

Apr 1, 2009 (Mar 30, 2009 to Apr 3, 2009) Pal Qucnx Moon

Tension over work or a personal dilemma is likely at this time. Self-ingrained emotional patterns may interfere with your productivity and planning. Your thinking and skills need to be readjusted due to disturbances in your work or home environment. For example, a co-worker or your partner may reorganize your domestic or work routine, forcing you to adapt to the new conditions. You have a feeling of attachment to the traditional way of doing things, but you are pressured into conforming to other people's techniques. In a personal relationship, a situation demands that you get in touch with your inner feelings and re-evaluate your ability to relate on a balanced emotional level toward a loved one.

Apr 2, 2009 (Mar 31, 2009 to Apr 5, 2009) Vesta Oppos Mars

Work matters require self-control and patience at this time. You become very eager to tackle work assignments and responsibilities; however, you must take care not to push yourself to the limit in order to prove your dedication and commitment to your job. In fact, if you want to accomplish something, you will attack it vehemently, separating yourself from others who do not comply with your way of doing business. Confrontations with fellow employees are apt to occur if you approach others in an aggressive manner in your struggle to work independently and without concern for their needs or involvement.

Care must be taken to avoid becoming too fanatic or obsessive toward your work to the point that you distance yourself from loved ones, creating resentment or hostility in your intimate relationships.

Apr 4, 2009 (Apr 2, 2009 to Apr 7, 2009) Vesta Oppos Moon

Personal or emotional issues in your relationships may arise. You may experience a need to detach yourself from the situation to allow for soul-searching and introspection. You may even choose to devote yourself to your work or other personal endeavors rather than deal with the emotional ramifications of the problems in your private life. Domestic responsibilities can make you feel limited, and you find excuses to be away from home or dig into your work in order to meet your emotional security needs. It may be difficult to avoid confrontations with the women in your life, especially if you have been placing your loyalties and enthusiasm elsewhere. Allow yourself to be more receptive and sensitive to the emotional needs and desires of your loved ones and try to appropriately channel your inner motivation.

Apr 5, 2009 (Apr 4, 2009 to Apr 6, 2009) Merc Oppos Ven

This is a favorable time to take a short vacation or pleasure trip, especially to visit people you really enjoy. The tone of this time is light, friendly, and easy. Positive connections are made with others, and you may meet a new friend. You may also want to call or write someone you love, simply to cheer them up or tell them you love them.

Apr 5, 2009 (Apr 4, 2009 to Apr 6, 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.

Apr 6, 2009 (Apr 5, 2009 to Apr 7, 2009) Merc Sxtil Chi

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.

Apr 7, 2009 (Apr 6, 2009 to Apr 8, 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.

Apr 7, 2009 (Apr 6, 2009 to Apr 8, 2009) Merc Qucnx Juno

Friction or subtle tension is likely in your marital or committed relationship. Differences of opinion can be smoothed over if you do not fall prey to any guilt complexes or clever manipulations. Jealousies, game-playing, or dredging up unhappy memories or issues may only hold you both back from true communicating or relating at this time. Be wary of promises and pledges from your mate, as they may not be carried out to your liking just now.

Apr 7, 2009 (Apr 7, 2009 to Apr 8, 2009) Merc Trine Ceres

A mate, child, or loved one can gain from your advice, support, and nurturing at this time. This can be quite an enjoyable period when you express your love to others through thoughtful and caring ways. Giving in a generous manner and being attentive to the needs of others makes people want to confide in you now or seek your guidance. Within the domestic atmosphere, communications with family members and sharing daily duties and activities all improve under this astrological influence.

Apr 8, 2009 (Apr 7, 2009 to Apr 8, 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.

Apr 8, 2009 (Apr 7, 2009 to Apr 9, 2009) Merc Qucnx Moon

Your sense of perspective and proportion is a bit skewed at the moment. Small problems loom large and details and other minor matters consume a lot of attention and focus. You are apt to be mentally restless, scattered, unable to concentrate on the immediate task at hand, absorbed in something related to the past. A somewhat disconcerting, but only too familiar, interaction with a parent, child, or other family member is likely. Be aware that you may be too stuck in your own point of view or self protectiveness to really hear what they are trying to convey.

Apr 10, 2009 (Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 11, 2009) Sun Oppos Ven

You are feeling particularly affectionate now and the company of your love partner or very close friends is important to you. This is not a time for solitary activity. Sharing, harmonizing, and love are the themes now. However, if you are not happy in your personal life, your problems may seem especially pressing at this time.

Apr 10, 2009 (Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 11, 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 10, 2009 (Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 12, 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.

Apr 10, 2009 (Apr 9, 2009 to Apr 12, 2009) Mars Qucnx Ura

Apr 11, 2009 (Apr 6, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Jup Oppos Ura

Spontaneity and freedom are the key issues during this time period. Your mood is very upbeat. You are funny, somewhat eccentric, and you will sometimes act out of character. All of this is simply because you are less inhibited and cautious than usual, and you feel good.

Dry or tedious activities are not for you. You will simply not tolerate a boring time, even if it means being a little rude. You will find something more entertaining to do, and be glad that you did. This is a happy time for you, and you may feel like you have just been let out of prison.

Creative inspirations can come to you now. If you are involved in a mentally creative or artistic area, you can get some really exciting ideas now.

The only negative possibilities are that you can be negligent and careless in handling some of your responsibilities because they are too irksome for you to deal with, and you could overexert yourself in sport, dance, or other enjoyable activity.

Apr 11, 2009 (Apr 6, 2009 to Apr 18, 2009) Jup Trine Ven

This is a very pleasant time for you. You have a need to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, relax, and collect yourself. Taking a stroll through the woods or visiting a beautiful lake, mountain retreat, or beach appeals to you now. You also enjoy casual activities like strolling through art galleries and markets, buying some art work, or visiting friends.

You are very relaxed, not very aggressive or ambitious and perhaps downright lazy now. If you find yourself struggling at work to maintain your concentration on tasks at hand, then you really should consider taking a few days of vacation time to do the kinds of things mentioned above.

Relationships with loved ones and friends are especially good now. You are able to share openly with others and experience mutual appreciation and respect. The love and good will you share with others may also lead to a pleasant gift or other unexpected benefit.

Beware of a tendency to be too lazy to take advantage of some of the enjoyable and beneficial occasions that are available at this time. It is good to relax and enjoy yourself, but becoming a "couch potato" may not be the best way of doing this!

Apr 12, 2009 (Apr 11, 2009 to Apr 13, 2009) Merc Trine Sat

The emphasis is now on long-range financial planning, thinking about future security, and formulating strategies to achieve your ambitions. Your ability to study quietly, to concentrate on complex mental work, and to think deeply about serious matters is much better than usual. This is a good time to organize your affairs and also to seek professional advice about your concerns.

Apr 12, 2009 (Apr 11, 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 12, 2009 (Apr 11, 2009 to Apr 13, 2009) Sun Sxtil Chi

This is a good time to distinguish yourself from others and make your abilities widely known to the people who count. Let others know of any new ideas or undertakings you have been contemplating. The favorable feedback you get from the people in your surroundings will give you more assurance and confidence. Take this time to reinforce your view of yourself and foster positive feelings in order to overcome any past insecurities or failures. Reflecting on and acknowledging your good qualities will help strengthen your self-esteem.

Apr 12, 2009 (Apr 12, 2009 to Apr 13, 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.

Apr 13, 2009 (Apr 12, 2009 to Apr 14, 2009) Merc Oppos Nep

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 13, 2009 (Apr 12, 2009 to Apr 14, 2009) Merc Qucnx Pal

This period may be spent trying to settle disputes or putting your affairs in order. Be wary, however, as you may have a tendency now to be overzealous when talking to others or not exhibiting enough restraint in certain situations. Your good judgment is needed in order to resolve differences with a friend, relative, or loved one. Reacquaint yourself with your intuition, instincts, and inner wisdom now, as you might gather some fresh insight into improving your communicating and relating skills.

Apr 14, 2009 (Apr 13, 2009 to Apr 15, 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.

Apr 15, 2009 (Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 16, 2009) Sun Qucnx Juno

This time may be spent trying to iron out the wrinkles in a close love relationship or marriage. Your spouse or partner may be a source of disappointment when their behavior falls short of your expectations. Although you may think you are being obvious about your wants and needs, your mate may not have a true understanding or be able to read your intentions. It is likely you will feel some resentment toward your partner if you feel you are not being appreciated and respected. Even if you do not see eye to eye with your mate, reflecting on the more positive qualities of the relationship will help smooth over minor difficulties.

Apr 15, 2009 (Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 16, 2009) Merc Qucnx Jup

Your choices and decisions may lack prudence, realism, or sound judgment right now. Be wary of overly optimistic plans which are presented to you, signing contracts without doing thorough background work or reading the fine print, or promising something which will be difficult for you to fulfill. Questions of honor, ethics, law, or morality arise in your mind at this time.

Apr 15, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 16, 2009) Merc Oppos Vesta

You may be inclined to review and evaluate your current job or professional purposes now. Minor disruptions or delays may cause setbacks or difficulties in preparing new projects at this time. Mental concentration might be impaired or correspondence with business executives or associates can lead to confusion or misunderstandings. Similarly, you may feel like withdrawing from the pressures of your job and find ways to distance yourself from others in order to avoid confrontations.

Apr 16, 2009 (Apr 14, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Sun Trine Ceres

This is a happy and cooperative time for family or career matters. You develop strong feelings of concern for anyone or anything that needs your support or direction. You will find it easier to handle both taking care of your family and gaining control of personal and business affairs. Other people may admire and count on your dependability and loyalty and you enjoy the attention you receive from helping others at this time. This is a good period for entertaining and playful times with family members. If you have children, you may notice that you are less strict with them just now and should use this time to boost their self-esteem.

Apr 16, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Mars Trine Merc

You speak very clearly, convincingly, and forcefully now, so that there is no mistaking what your views and opinions are. You can argue a good case, make a very persuasive presentation, or successfully challenge someone whose ideas do not agree with your own. Your mind is sharp and your responses quick. This is a very good time to take a test or to do any kind of intellectual or mental work.

Apr 16, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 17, 2009) Mars Trine Juno

You may be ardent in expressing your affection, devotion, and loyalty to your marriage partner or significant other at this time. You are eager for closeness, reassurances of commitment, and emotional interplay. The satisfaction you derive from these experiences will boost your own ego and confidence, as well as make you feel completely at ease with your mate. You could also be very supportive of your partner's needs at this time; however, you will expect the same treatment in return. If you are married or committed to someone, just knowing you can rely upon someone for love and assurance is very compelling at this time. If single or unattached, you may desire to initiate a romantic relationship now or may simply be excited by the idea of marriage and all its trimmings.

Apr 16, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 17, 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.

Apr 17, 2009 (Mar 28, 2009 to Aug 4, 2009) Chi Sqr Merc

You may be easily offended and hurt by a misunderstanding which arises during this time. Problems can occur because you are unable to communicate in a way that harmonizes with others now. Your thoughts and ideas may be confusing or off the beaten track, resulting in verbal arguments or disapproval from those in your environment. As a result, antagonism or intimidation can occur or true communication may be withheld. Also, your thinking is subject to fluctuations and, therefore, you may use subtle tactics to get your point across or to safeguard your position, such as sarcastic humor, put downs, or wounding remarks. Unfortunately, you may not realize that you are putting people on the defensive and in turn only hurting yourself. If you can use this time to express your thoughts in a way which acknowledges the sensitivities of others, there can be an honest interchange or communication which still allows you to disclose what is actually on your mind.

Apr 17, 2009 (Apr 16, 2009 to Apr 18, 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.

Apr 17, 2009 (Apr 15, 2009 to Apr 19, 2009) Pal Oppos Sat

You may encounter disapproval and negative reactions from authority figures or business professionals regarding your viewpoint and/or your creative plans. Difficult decisions may need to be made which will directly effect your public reputation and career status. For example, you may be deeply involved with a business assignment and your employer or superior imposes strict and rigid guidelines on the project, thus delaying or inhibiting your ability to make concrete achievements. You experience suspicion, doubt and worry over your job performance and feel you must take decisive action to ensure your position in the corporation.

This can also be a time when there is anguish over an ill or elderly parent who depends upon your care and concern.

Apr 17, 2009 (Apr 16, 2009 to Apr 18, 2009) Sun Qucnx Moon

You are likely to feel vexed, vaguely dissatisfied, or out of touch with yourself, as if you don't know what you want but are fairly certain you don't have it. Unusual food cravings, desires and moods which are distracting or at least tangential to what you would prefer to be focused upon, and/or a strong pull toward your past which interferes with your present, all are quite likely now. You have to strike a balance between your emotional needs and yearnings and your daily life.

Apr 18, 2009 (Apr 16, 2009 to Apr 20, 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 18, 2009 (Apr 17, 2009 to Apr 20, 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.

Apr 19, 2009 (Apr 16, 2009 to Apr 21, 2009) Juno Sxtil Sat

You can rely upon your marriage or a cherished relationship for support and encouragement. There is a more relaxed atmosphere surrounding the relationship which leads you to feel very secure and protected in your mate's presence. If any difficulties do arise, you will carefully ponder the most effective way to handle the situation. When you are through evaluating the problem, you will pick up the pieces and pursue a realistic course of action. You feel obliged to cooperate because you have a strong sense of commitment to the relationship.

During this phase, you might ask for advice or guidance from an older individual, parent or close friend about your marriage or relationship. If you need to do this, they can offer you gentle wisdom that will prove beneficial in some manner.

Apr 19, 2009 (Apr 17, 2009 to Apr 21, 2009) Pal Qucnx Sun

Asserting your personal aims can be challenging at this time. Mental stress at this time may interfere with your ability to think clearly and act with self-confidence in achieving your goals and directions. You will have to work hard to function at your usual level of perception and cleverness. You do not feel assertive enough to express your natural creativity and intellect, as you feel insecure in your abilities. This is a period when you need to adjust to new conditions in your relationships or job situation. For example, your boss or other superior may ask you to provide insightful wisdom and advice regarding a work-related issue but you are unable to find a solution. The situation may be that your creative mind is not working to capacity, and you need to become more knowledgeable and informed with respect to the decisions that you make.

Apr 19, 2009 (Apr 18, 2009 to Apr 21, 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.

Apr 20, 2009 (Apr 17, 2009 to Apr 22, 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 21, 2009 (Apr 19, 2009 to Apr 23, 2009) Pal Trine Nep

Profound dreams and visions can enlighten or inspire your creative urges. This is a favorable period if you are an artistic or intellectual person, as you have vivid flashes of ingenious imagination. You are more adept in understanding information coming from internal and external sources. For example, you may have intuitive thoughts about a friend or acquaintance experiencing a bewildering problem, and then they unknowingly come to you for help or advice.

Rewards or success can come from the strangest of circumstances if you do not remain passive or ignore your inner wisdom.

Apr 21, 2009 (Apr 19, 2009 to Apr 24, 2009) Juno Sqr Sun

Selfishness, jealousy and emotional game-playing make marital or romantic relationships unsettled during this time. Problems brought on by conflicting ego drives and divided loyalties in your relations may cause you to struggle to retain your individuality. This is a time when you will become aware of exaggerated differences between you and your partner. There is a likelihood that you and your mate will battle for top position in the relationship, thereby creating barriers to your growth and development as a couple.

Apr 24, 2009 (Apr 17, 2009 to May 1, 2009) Jup Conj Chi

You may seek greater personal awareness through interests which expand your knowledge, spirituality, and beliefs at this time. Educational, religious, social, or personal involvements may help you feel centered and enlightened. This can be a favorable period to experiment with new boundaries, horizons, and viewpoints. Or, if you are seeking relief or healing from a personal crisis or prior wound, this can be a good time to gain a sense of hope and develop a more positive outlook. You could be feeling well-balanced on mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels at this time.

May 3, 2009 (Apr 12, 2009 to June 2, 2009) Ura Trine Merc

Creative thinking and innovative ideas are key issues now. You are mentally alert and keen, able to absorb new ideas very quickly, and less resistant to new information than usual. This is a time to explore scientific and technological ideas and inventive, progressive, innovative perspectives in any area. You are likely to encounter people, books, training programs, and other opportunities to catch up on the latest developments in various fields of study. Any fear or distaste you have for progressive scientific study will dissolve now, and you will feel more in tune with these topics. If you are scientifically inclined, but conservative in your approach, you will become much more innovative and creative now.

Although scientific and technological areas are particularly emphasized, virtually any area of endeavor is affected: politics, economics, even art and music. You are simply more creative and innovative in your thinking, and some of your best creative thinking can be done now. You can accomplish enormous amounts of work with relative ease. Writers, for example, find that they can write prodigiously with much less strain; often the writing pours forth with almost no interruption for hours at a time. Writing and speaking are smooth and graceful and you have the ability to spontaneously find just the right word or phrase to express an idea.

May 5, 2009 (Mar 23, 2009 to Aug 8, 2009) Nep Sxtil Ceres

You may engage in selfless and compassionate acts with regard to loved ones and family members at this time. Emotional sensitivity is accented now, and you desire to demonstrate your care, concern, and devotion to the people you love. As long as you do not allow yourself to be taken advantage of, then your good deeds will create positive influences on other individuals. You may also develop a deep understanding of the plights and sorrows of other people, which gives you a strong desire to heal, aid, and assist them in a time of need. Your pleasure is derived from helping, nurturing, and mothering others at this time. You will want your children or mate to feel soothed, cared for, and protected from the harsh realities of life. Creative urges are stimulated as well. There may be a desire to have children or to be involved in an educational, creative, or caretaking role with children.

May 5, 2009 (Apr 14, 2009 to June 7, 2009) Ura Trine Juno

You may wish to bring more fairness and equality into a marriage or significant love relationship at this time. You may feel less intimidated if your partner has personal needs outside of your commitments to each other. You might relate to your loved one in a more trusting, understanding, and cooperative manner, especially when identifying with the need for personal space and freedom within the relationship. This can be a very favorable time to share new interests, ideas, and social adventures with your partner. Changing routines and doing something different will help alleviate boredom now.
