The Week Ahead

Monday 8th through Sunday 14th March

ith so much planetary action at the bottom of your solar chart you could be forgiven for wondering if you’ll ever get away! But the welcome news is that Mars turns its face to the direction of travel in fellow Fire sign, Leo on Wednesday, which is as good as the lights turning to green for a project or a journey you’ve been on since October last. Or maybe that should be amber: it’ll be some weeks yet before the action planet’s back up to normal speed, so don’t expect it all to happen immediately.

Your personal new year

elcome to your personal new year, which began with the Sun going into your sign at 04:30 GMT on 22 November.

With action planet, Mars in fellow Fire sign, Leo (since 17 October) you’re very much in your element. It’s likely you’ve embarked on a journey of some kind, maybe a course of study, that’s firing you up with enthusiasm. Take note, however, that Mars retraces its steps from 20 December — and so may you in some sense, although it’s all the better to go forwards from 9 March 2010.

Looking further ahead, on 28 May 2010, Uranus enters the other Fire sign, Aries (you, of course, are the third) which may bring an exciting new person into your life, although not necessarily the most stable. A few weeks later this unpredictable planet retreats back into Pisces, but you’ll have got a taste of new and interesting things to come (think March 2011).

Talking of Pisces, your ruling planet, Jupiter enters this sign on 13 January, which may bring with it a desire to extend your house in some way or even move over the following year. You may also find yourself attracted to some kind of inner work that similarly expands your horizons.

Meanwhile mighty Pluto continues its passage through the money sector of your solar chart, encouraging you to look at new ways of earning income and put your finances on a completely new footing.

You’re the optimist of the zodiac and with the New Moon on 16 November, the only one of the year that falls in your sign, you can look forward with confidence to the new and exciting developments that await you in life, love and art.
