Your Personal Horoscope 2009: Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign. Joseph Polansky
are some dramas at home and with the children (or those who are like children to you). And, as with every Lunar Eclipse, repairs could be needed in the home. There are shakeups and upheavals in organizations that you belong to, and this perhaps changes your relationship with these organizations. This eclipse is benign to you but it won’t hurt to take a reduced schedule anyway. There are probably dramas in the lives of friends.

Retrograde activity is still strong this month, so continue to make haste slowly. Patience, patience, patience is the name of the game now. Pluto will start to move forwards on the 11th after many months of Retrograde motion and this will clarify issues involving debt, estates and taxes. But Mercury will be Retrograde from the 7th to the 27th and there are still 40 per cent of the planets moving Retrograde for most of the month.
Mercury’s Retrograde suggests more homework and care with regard to health regimes and dietary changes. These things need to be studied before you implement them. For jobseekers it suggests a need for more study of job offers that come—and by the way they will come. This is an excellent month for jobseekers.
Health is a major interest this month. And health is basically good. After the 22nd you need to rest and relax more. You can enhance your health by giving more attention to the kidneys and hips (until the 18th) and to the intestines afterwards. Drive more defensively early in the month, and be more safety conscious in the home.
This month—after the 22nd—the planetary power will shift to the upper half of the Horoscope (you will feel this more strongly next month, but the shift is beginning now). Also Saturn, your career planet, is receiving much positive stimulation. Your career is becoming more active and important and there should be interesting and happy career opportunities coming your way from the 15th to the 19th—probably as you pursue leisure activities or attend parties.
Home and family is still important this month and you seem focused here; perhaps you are doing repairs or renovations or are involved with parent figures. But very soon, the home and family situation will be where you want it and you can focus on your external career.
Your financial planet is in the speculative Sign of Leo until the 20th. There are some very positive things about this: you earn money in happy ways, speculations tend to be favourable and you have a sense of financial optimism and confidence. You spend freely, and the danger here is overspending. But this will change after the 20th as Venus, the financial planet, moves into Virgo. Then you become more cost conscious and will tend to get value for your money.
Love is happy, but not very serious, until the 22nd. You basically want a good time and will tend to attract people who feel this way as well. But after the 22nd, you enter a yearly social peak and more serious romance is likely for singles.

The planetary shift that we discussed last month becomes very dramatic this month. By the end of the month, 80 to 90 per cent of the planets will be in the upper half of your chart. Day is dawning in your year. Time to use all the energy you acquired during the night for productive purposes. Career is becoming the main focus now for the rest of the year ahead. Push forward boldly towards your goals. You can safely let family issues slide (especially after the 16th) and focus on your career.
The main headline this month is love and social life. Your 7th House of Love and Marriage is where the planetary action is. But it is a kind of bittersweet experience. Singles are meeting new people; there is much going out; but Saturn’s move into the 7th House on the 29th initiates a period where your new relationships will get tested. From the cosmic point of view it is not enough just to meet new friends and love partners: they need to be found worthy. Until the 15th restrain your tendencies to carp, criticize and nit-pick. Sure, you are entitled to perfect love, but criticism—especially of the destructive kind—will not bring it to you. Try to focus on quality relationships rather than on the mediocre ones.
An office romance is developing.
Saturn, your career planet, makes a major move from Virgo into Libra at the end of the month. This shows career changes, and a different attitude to your career. For two and a half years you succeeded the hard way, through hard work and sheer merit. There was nothing wrong with this, but now you need to develop your social skills too. It is not enough that you are good at your job—people need to like you. Those of you who are in managerial positions will advance more on the ‘likeability’ factor than on the merit factor. This transit also shows that you can advance your career by social means—by attending and hosting the right parties and making the right friends.
Health is more delicate now and you need to pay more attention here for the rest of the year (and for the next two years). Pay special attention until the 23rd. Enhance your health by paying more attention to the intestines (and the diet) until the 10th, and to the kidneys and hips after this date. Disharmonies in love can affect the physical health now, so work to keep the harmony in your marriage and with your friends.
Retrograde activity is lessening dramatically this month. By the 18th, 80 per cent of the planets will be moving forward. The pace of life and change accelerates.

The forward momentum of the planets increases even more this month. When Neptune starts moving forward on the 4th, 90 per cent of the planets will be moving forward. You should see quick progress towards your goals. You also have greater confidence in most areas of your life.
Love is romantic and idealistic until the 8th. But afterwards it is less about romance and more about sexual attraction—physical chemistry. For those of you of appropriate age this is a sexually active kind of month. (Even older Aries will have more libido than usual.) There is still an office type of romance happening for you. (The opportunity is there for sure.)
In love you seem to be different people all occupying the same body these days. One part of you is romantic and idealistic and wants only ‘the feeling of love’. Another part of you only cares about the physical chemistry. And still another part of you seems of a ‘practical bent’—the good provider, the person who can advance your career, the power person: this is what allures. If you can find all these qualities in one person, you have the ideal now.
With your 8th House very powerful this month, the period is good for detox regimes, both physical and emotional. It is a time where you have more power to reinvent yourself—to give birth to the person you want to be. It is a very good time now to make an inventory of your possessions and get rid of what you don’t need. It is a time to clean house—physically, emotionally and materially.
Your spouse or partner is prospering this month and will be more generous with you. In general (especially after the 8th) this is a time to prosper by prospering other people, by putting their financial interests ahead of your own. As you succeed at this your own prosperity will happen very naturally. This is also a good month to access outside
