A bright, powerful comet in your house of money, right at the start of the year. What can it mean? Not poverty, that's for sure. Nor stress, strain and struggle for survival.

Comets represent new regimes. Ends of eras. Big decisive developments that, in the short term at least, leave no room for doubt. Now, how are things on the economic front at the moment? Got all you need? Relaxed and secure? Or are you just doing your usual Sagittarian trick of acting as if all is okay when deep within you are worried. Are you telling yourself you need nothing else because, as you doubt you will ever afford it, you may as well stop wishing for it? The comet says farewell to all of that and hello to... er, well, tell you what... we're covering money later in this series, so let's save the rest till then. And as we're getting round to love in Part Two, let's wait till then to discuss the delights that await you.

Here, in this overview of the year, I want to explain that Jupiter, which was last in your sign during 1995, will be back in Sagittarius for all of 2007. As Jupiter is the ruler of your sign and it is returning to its source of strength and power, you'd be on course to do much the same even without that comet to speed you on your way.

There's an old bad habit to cure yourself of first. But once you get the hang of just how inspiring and different the coming year is set to be, you'll conquer that in (next to) no time.

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.

Sometimes, it doesn't take much for an experience to become a habit, for a habit to become a pattern and for a pattern to become a tradition. Then before you know it, you're stuck in a rut - doing what you've always done, simply because there's no time to question it. How possible is it for you to spend 2007 in a state like this? It's not. You are more likely to win first prize in the lottery. Or to be abducted by aliens.

Pluto is forming a historic alignment with the Galactic Centre whilst passing through YOUR sign. Jupiter is back in Sagittarius for the first time since 1995 and change-bringing Comet McNaught is hovering, as we speak, in the part of your chart that governs stability. Now, please. Don't misunderstand me. This is NOT a prediction about the end of a relationship. It is simply a promise that, either an existing partnership will evolve dramatically and delightfully or a new involvement will begin. No empty pretence is going to be kept alive. Nor is there going to be any lasting sense of emptiness. Wherever in your world you feel you are being impeded you will find that, no matter what authority your apparent obstacle has, you can turn the tables on it.

All you have to do to make the magic really work is to bring yourself out of old patterns of negative expectation. As long as you're willing to work on that, a rare natural magic will take care of the rest.

YOUR WEALTH
If you're standing up, sit down. If you're sitting down, stand up! Before you read any further, I want you to change position. That, with more eloquence than any words, should communicate the essence of this year's astrological outlook. If you're too tense, it will relax you. If you're taking things too easy, you will be challenged to wake up and start moving. And if, as is most likely (given all that has befallen you lately), you are starting the year feeling fearful of futility... you will become motivated, inspired and aware of a noble, vital mission that you are uniquely suited to carry out.

Jupiter is back in your sign for the first time since 1995. In India, they consider this particular part of Jupiter's cycle so significant that millions flock from all over the world to hold a special, once-in-a-decade festival on the banks of the Ganges.

The whole of 2007 is a slow build-up to a tremendous crescendo when Jupiter forms a conjunction to Pluto which, in turn, aligns with the Galactic Centre... which just so happens to be in Sagittarius too. That's not so much a promise as a cast-iron guarantee of an imminent historic achievement. And lest there be any doubt about whether this attainment translates into anything useful with which to go shopping and keep hungry wolves away from delicate doors... the year begins with the comet of destiny in your house of money. That's as auspicious an omen as you could ever hope for.
