Rules. Regulations. Precedents. Protocols. Routines. Restrictions. Limitations. Traditions. Hierarchies. Conventions. Let's give them all a few moments attention right here, at the start of your forecast for 2007. And, then, let's wave them a fond farewell. A dazzling new comet in the part of your chart that governs "escape from all forms of bondage" is sending you a very clear and inspiring signal.

You're not a part of what you used to be a part of. You're not prohibited by whatever used to prevent you. You're not tied. You're not obliged. You're not hamstrung. And you're not going to get into trouble by breaking free. You'll raise many eyebrows, of course. You'll invite a few half-hearted challenges. But, ultimately, even the most entrenched opponents to change will give way before your determination to pursue a new vision and will even end up supporting you. This revolution may be almost entirely internal. It may involve transforming the way you think about life. After all, the greatest balls and chains are psychological, not physical. But if you do feel that a significant worldly, material change would be desirable - you'd better not rule it out, just because it currently seems unlikely or even impossible. Whoever needs to help you make this happen will end up helping you.

All you have to do is believe. And start writing the rulebook about how life is to be conducted from now on... rather than trying instead, to follow someone else's. In Part Two, I shall explain what all this means for your love life and your financial outlook.

YOUR LOVE LIFE
A mysterious force in distant space makes our entire solar system rotate. Pluto now aligns with that 'Galactic Centre'. Meanwhile, a bright comet has appeared. 2007 will be a stunning year. Here's what it means for your love life.

We all have a mask we wear in public, an image we like to put across. The big dramatic change for you in 2007, is the discovery that things are not quite as they once seemed. You're going to learn a lot more about who a certain person in your life really is. And you're going to realise a lot, too, about the messages and signals that you send out to others so automatically that you don't even realise you are doing it.

The sudden appearance of Comet McNaught symbolises the end of a seesaw syndrome. You have felt increasingly unable to achieve what you need to because someone else's needs have been weighing against you too heavily. There's been an unconscious tug-of-war taking place; a feeling of wrestling with a force that is greater than you. That feeling won't disappear in an instant but there will come a moment when you're free of it. This change will be in your own ability to understand and alter the way you are perceived and thus alter, too, the way you perceive your own limitations.

This year you will thrive emotionally and in other ways too. Why? Because you are releasing something from within your heart that is not some kind of a show, but a genuine expression of who you are at your brightest and your best. Your dream won't let you down nor will anyone in your world - as long, that is, as you don't let yourself down by hiding behind a mask you have outgrown the need for.

YOUR WEALTH
It's amazing how enthusiasm blows up like a big balloon. We wonder if we want to do something, we gradually realise we believe in someone or we come across some prospect that interests us. Our hearts soar... and then... we think about all the things that can go wrong. We get intimidated by all that's already on our plate, all the effort we will have to make, all the complications we can envisage. That takes the air right out of the balloon. Worse, it diminishes our excitement about the next possibility. No matter how good a subsequent opportunity may be, we remember the last time we had to stop short of success and we worry. 'What if, once again, I allow myself to go so far... only to end up disappointed?' This year begins with the amazing appearance of a comet in the part of your chart that governs 'becoming part of something much bigger than yourself'. It implies that in areas where, until now, you have felt like a small cog in a big machine, you're going to start holding the steering wheel.

Pluto's year-long alignment to the Galactic Centre, meanwhile, speaks of new friends arriving and old friends returning, of colleagues who truly help and of people with a subconscious agenda of sabotage backing away. Put all that together and it can only spell one thing. A year that eventually brings tangible, lasting and rewarding success.
