. . with Mercury still in your career sector and Venus not even arriving until the 8th January, where she'll stay until the 4th February. It's the North Node's move into your career sector a month later, on the 4th March that opens the door to a period of professional growth that will stretch out to the 30th August 2012. Instead of taking the stairs you'll be taking the elevator with a pair of eclipses, one on the 16th June and another on the 24th November likely to be game changers. This makes 2011 an important and possibly defining professional year. This is also a very big money year, with Saturn spending the whole of 2011 in your financial sector and Jupiter, planet of luck returning to your income sector on the 23rd January and staying on until the 5th June, creating some very lucky months that are gateway months into an even longer period of income growth. The opportunities won't end when Jupiter leaves, with Uranus arriving on the 12th March and a surge on the income front from the 10th March to the 16th May will create the kind of momentum that will keep things in motion for months and years to come. The best relationship opportunities come at the end of the year, when Mars arrives in your relationship sector on the 11th November and instead of leaving 6 weeks later he'll stay for nearly 8 months, not leaving until the 4th July 2012. What you don't have in 2011 are the challenges of the last 3 years, with life a lot kinder on you this year.

Business:
With or without any kind of work or career opportunities or support from the heavens, 2010 was always going to be your year, the year you've been building up to ever since Uranus moved into your Sign in 2003. Since then Uranus has opened your mind to what’s possible, stimulated new ideas and behind the scenes constructed big ideas and concepts, the kind that become sleepers, waiting for the right conditions for them to find their time. That happens this year and you won’t have to wait long with Jupiter, planet of luck returning to your Sign on the 18th January. While Jupiter, planet of luck, good fortune and expansion returns to your Sign once every 11 to 12 years, the last time Uranus and Jupiter were together in your sign, creating an opportunity to take a massive leap forward, was in 1928. This creates the conditions that everything else plays out against, which makes Mars’ time in your work sector all the more significant. Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition moved into your work sector on the 17th October 2009 and usually spending just 6 weeks here, should have been long gone. Instead he’s still here and at the start of the year is in retrograde motion. He’ll remain in retrograde motion until the 11th March, reversing back to the very start, before starting again from scratch, not leaving until the 7th June, the day after extremely lucky income forces kick in to play. Until the 11th March there is a need to pace yourself, work behind the scenes and bide your time, but from the 11th March onwards there is likely to be a massive thrust forward. Even though Mars leaves your work sector on the 7th June the Sun, Mercury and Venus will keep things in play right through to the 23rd August, a period that coincides with some of the most extreme income opportunities you've ever seen. It’s from then that things settle for a few months, which gives you a chance to consolidate your position, before once again taking off on the 28th October, this time on the career front, which will see continuous action until well into 2011.

Love:
If 2009 brought more than its fair share of relationship challenges, then 2010 is when you get to reap the benefits. You can’t afford to let things slide though for Saturn, planet of honesty and conviction will return to your relationship sector from the 8th April to the 22nd July. It’s then that he’ll return in order to tie up loose ends and put things on track, creating an opportunity for second chances or to finally lay the past to rest. With no activity in your relationship sector until then, you're free to access the romantic opportunities earlier in the year and you're not going to have to wait long. It’s on New Year’s Day that a lunar eclipse falls in your romantic sector, reminding you that while 2009 was all about dealing with relationship challenges, 2010 is a year for setting your romantic bottom lines, refusing to miss out. It’s the lunar eclipse on the 1st January, which is a super charged Lovers Moon, that sets your expectations for the coming year, allowing you to make New Years resolutions that are less about what you’re willing to do and more about knowing what you want from love. Venus, planet of love returns to your sign between the 12th February and the 8th March, aligning with Jupiter for the first time in your Sign in over a decade. This happens on the 17th February, which is possibly your luckiest day for love of the year, if not the decade. June and July are especially big months for both romantic and relationship opportunities, with a total solar eclipse in your romantic sector on the 12th July creating an opportunity for auspicious new beginnings. June and July are also big months for relationship matters, with a chance for a real turn around and to finally put the past behind you and move on.

Money:
The one word I would use to describe your financial conditions this year is ‘interesting’ and that’s to put it mildly. The year begins with Saturn in your financial sector, calling for a very serious approach to money and to your financial situation. Saturn is the planet that calls for total accountability, integrity, willpower and discipline and in your financial sector as you move into 2010, many of your resolutions for the coming year are likely to be financially based. Saturn turns retrograde on the 14th January, so not only is there a much more serious approach to your financial situation required, there is going to be a need to slow down, take a more measured approach and to backtrack, going back and dealing with old financial situations, putting things right, learning from the past and reassessing things. Here for the majority of the next 3 years, your financial discipline and focus may be high, but your financial enthusiasm is likely to be under whelming to say the least. Yet what you see as you move into the New Year is not what you’re going to get, with things brightening up on all fronts, not just the financial front, as the year progresses. It’s on the 18th January, just 4 days after Saturn turns retrograde in your financial sector that Jupiter, planet of luck returns to your sign, kicking off a brand new Jupiter cycle. This turns 2010 into the foundation year for a brand new Jupiter cycle, with all the excitement and enthusiasm this brings. This makes it easier to deal with Saturn’s more austere position in your financial sector. Before you even reach the halfway point in the year things change dramatically. It’s on the 8th April that Saturn leaves your financial sector, his retrograde move taking him all the way back out and giving you a 15 week break. Then in a classic case of ‘when the cat’s away the mouse will play’, it’s while Saturn is gone from your financial sector and a full 6 months ahead of schedule that Jupiter, planet of luck moves into your income sector. Uranus arrives just a few days before, on the 28th May, meeting up together in your income sector for the first time since 1928. They’re only here for a few months, with Uranus leaving on the 14th August and Jupiter on the 9th September, but by the time Saturn returns to your financial sector on the 22nd July he will have been dethroned. He’ll continue to bring a call for accountability, something he’ll drive home until he leaves in October 2012, but the income forces that Jupiter inspires between the 6th June and the 9th September are not only the most auspicious in decades, they’re a practice run for the huge forces that are set to return, stronger and more determined in January 2011.
