Aries Year Ahead 2009

Here comes one of the most liberating and potentially, one of the most enjoyable years of your life. Not every moment is going to be easy. You will come up against issues that demand a great deal of time, energy and concentration. But once you see where your real opportunities lie, you will start to recognise what your true problems are. Then you can spend your year turning menacing shadows into reassuring shapes.

All the clouds that loom on your horizon have silver linings but the most enriching ones will be those connected with your relationships. By this, I don't just mean conventional romantic relationships but your connections in general, with items, situations and people that somehow define "who you are". As you start to question your ongoing involvement in key situations, you'll also see how you can be free from factors that currently take a lot from you yet give little back.

You have a tendency, for all your bravado and courage, to passively accept scenarios that you ought to reject. When you are at ease, naturally enough, you make an allowance for this. When you are on edge, you become more inclined to complain. That's why the coming clouds are so potentially positive. They mean you can't just shrug your shoulders; you have to start asking what it is about the choices you have made that have caused those clouds to come? In 2009, you get to make a valuable discovery. This will help you take hold of the tiller of your life and steer your ship away from rocky, stormy waters towards the shores of fertile, receptive lands.

Currently, many expectations are being set for you by folk who have inappropriate power over your life. Somehow, in 2009 you can change the balance of power. You can assert your own strength and individuality, doing more of what makes you feel fulfilled, creatively, artistically. And financially? There may be a shortage of many things that were once easily obtainable but there is no shortage of opportunity. Unless you choose to go along with those who seem to believe that all is lost, you can end up discovering all that is to be found. For you, in 2009, that means there are all kinds of ways to fulfil the dreams and desires that you've had in the back of your mind and your heart your whole life long.

Latest update:

Hit the ground running. Start as you mean to go on. Give it all you've got. And don't stop till you get where you need to be. There. That's all the advice you need. Take it and you'll be just fine in 2009. What you musn't do, though, is let the year set the agenda for you. Nor must you fear anything (or anyone).

2009 is going to seem like one of the shortest, most intense years you have ever lived through. If you approach it in the right way, it will also be one of the more rewarding, fulfilling and enjoyable years of your life. You've already made a good start. Your resolution is a brave and a wise one. You'll find it surprisingly easy to see it through.

The further you head away from the path of least resistance that, in 2008, it had been all too easy to follow, the better off you'll get. That may mean putting yourself in difficult positions, having to answer questions you are unprepared for or dealing with situations you neither want nor understand. But how else will you grow and ultimately succeed? You want that don't you? Well, credit crunch or no credit crunch, this year's great opposition between Saturn and Uranus insists you can go beyond an obstacle, overcome a hang up, leave behind a sorry story and move into a phase of your future that's more exciting (and meaningful) than you ever believed possible.

I've got a lot more to say to you about the outlook for your sign in 2009. You can hear it all as soon you become a part of our legendary 5 Star service. Or perhaps you might like me to chart your personal map of the sky and prepare a report covering the whole year, strictly, personally for you!
