Libra Year Ahead 2009

Saturn will enter Libra at the end of 2009. This may seem a long way from where we are now but you are already experiencing the influence to some extent. Saturn tends to make people aware of the restrictions and limitations in their lives. When Saturn is acting on us, we become conscious of all the commitments and obligations that we have to take on and extremely aware of the practical point of view of every situation we face. A lot of the time we don't really give too much consideration to the consequences of our actions. We do what we've always done and then we pay the price that we've always paid.

When Saturn comes into play, we become wiser - and whilst sometimes that wisdom comes with a sharp intake of breath, invariably, we grow more mature as a result of it. Everywhere you turn now, you are seeing chickens coming home to roost. It's becoming clear that major changes must occur, that old arrangements don't work, that everyone has been pretending things are OK when they are not and that now, you have to do something about this. Many people interpret Saturn as if it's all doom and gloom but why should the realisation that there is something really constructive that needs to be done be seen as bad? What's happening for you in 2009 involves an overdue awakening. A recognition. A taking on of responsibility. In physical terms this translates into everything from the security of financial stability right through to the ability to say 'no' to what you once felt obliged to accept.

In the process of developing that strength this coming year, many of your current arrangements will have to alter. The change that's coming your way is overdue and wonderful. As it unfolds you get to make clear, clever, choices that will alter the future forever. Soon, you won't have to keep going round in the same old circles, feeling obliged to accept the same old things. Physically, emotionally - even in terms of your health and well-being, you are now in a position to make choices that bring results and actually do benefit you. Whilst it will take a while to put some of these processes in motion, there is no doubt that you will enjoy successes this year that stand you in good stead for the whole of the rest of your life.

Latest update:

In the classic Disney cartoon, Pinocchio had a little cricket to show him right from wrong. Then there was an awkward moment where Jiminy had to rescue him from a couple of nasty looking characters, who had promised all sorts.

It's all very well saying our hero should never have gone with them. We wouldn't have had much of a story if he hadn't.

Life for you, as we enter 2009, involves a daily lecture from your own inner voice. 'Oh come now, that's not very moral, is it? Oh no. Surely you're not going to do that?' Meanwhile, whispering in your other ear, there's a glamorous character, seductively attractive apart from those two little horns. 'Go on, you know you want to. What harm can it do?' If you let yourself be torn between them all year, you'll be a nervous wreck. You won't, though, free yourself from stress by just sticking with what's safe. It's all to do with this opposition between Saturn and Uranus. One is influencing your 'sense of obligation'. The other is playing on your sense of belonging. The question is not, 'Should you conform or rebel?' it's, 'Why do you even feel, in the first place, that life must involve doing what others demand of you?" This year, you get a chance to free yourself from a thankless task; a duty performed out of misplaced loyalty and an involvement that is becoming a life-sentence. Always let your conscience be your guide. But don't let it be your prison guard.

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!
