Saturn has not been in Virgo since 1980. It returns to your sector of the sky towards the end of this year, bringing a series of challenges and changes you have long needed. By the time you get to the second part of 2007, you'll be playing by different rules, looking at different priorities and feeling very different about who you are. That implies a date with fate - a moment when, suddenly, you begin to realise what your past has now prepared you for.

Comet McNaught carries a similar message as it now passes through the part of your chart that governs risk, adventure, celebration, exploration, admiration, adoration, drama, romance and childlike fascination with all that's simple and magical. The comet, though, speaks more about the first half of your year. Its impressive presence each dusk and dawn implies a chance to play, to laugh, to dance, to sing, to enjoy being here on this planet in a way that you have not felt free to do for too long.

Comets invariably herald the 'end of an era'. You have been through a long phase of feeling as if you cannot or dare not fully relax because there is too much to be serious about. You'll have time enough to become responsible and practical in the latter half of the year as you set out to achieve something exceptional and permanent.

First, though, you are about to be given a really good reason to start... and to stay... smiling.

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.

Just because you don't feel right, it doesn't mean something is wrong! Sometimes, it's right to feel wrong. Sometimes, it's wrong to feel right. Sometimes, we wrap ourselves up in a bubble of complacency and ignore unacceptable situations. Sometimes we worry long into the night about matters that seem strange when they are all actually fine! Sometimes, we can train ourselves to tell a real difficulty from a false fear. Sometimes, challenges arise for reasons that only make sense to us years later. So when you ask, 'How will my love life be in 2007?' I have to be careful how I answer. The short, glib (and true) reply is, 'It will be very good indeed.'

The longer, deeper and equally true response is; it will seem at times as if you don't know what's going on, why it's happening, what it means, where it is leading and how you are ever going to come to terms with what appears to be evolving. A powerful comet begins the year in the part of your chart that governs romance. Pluto conjoins the Galactic Centre in the sector of your sky that governs home. A fantasy is about to turn into a delightful reality. An apparently comforting reality is about to reveal itself to have been a fantasy.

A significant change on the home and family front is inevitable. It will all take some getting used to. It will, though, be by no means bad. Be careful what you label 'a problem' or a 'blessing.' It's going to be a truly wonderful year but mainly for reasons that right now, you can neither imagine or understand.

YOUR WEALTH
The Moon goes round the Earth. The Earth goes round the Sun. The Sun goes round a point in deep and distant space that we call the Galactic Centre. What a lot of spinning, turning, revolving and rotating. No wonder we often feel as if our lives are going round in circles!

This year, though, your own personal journey of development becomes especially reminiscent of a merry-go-round ride - but with more emphasis on the 'merry' than on the 'go round'. You will, though, be going back round to some role you played or task you performed in the past - and that you feel slightly surprised to be returning to. It will give you a lot of pleasure to apply the experience you have gained in the interim to a situation that once had you struggling. You're not reinventing the wheel nor are you back to square one. You're just revisiting in a new frame of mind and laying old ghosts in the process.

The new comet implies you'll benefit financially as a series of encouraging developments enable you to learn to predict the future by drawing on your knowledge of the past. Just watch that you don't skew your judgement by placing too much weight on negative memories... or by questioning recent brave decisions. Wherever you've currently got a fear, forget it. That's not a threat you need to guard against. The only threat you need to heed is the chance that you will somehow undermine your own confidence by doubting, where you ought to be trusting.
