with the real tragedy that this year could present, being that you might miss this opportunity, because you’re too busy getting ready for challenges and problems that never come, to appreciate what’s right in front of you.

The main features that make 2008 such a good year for you, is that both Saturn and Jupiter, the planets that create the major influences in any given year, are both moving through fellow Earth signs, bringing you a whole lot of support.

Saturn, the planet that brings most of your challenges in any given year, is moving through your romantic and creative sector, where he’s challenging you to follow your heart and to listen to its message. It’s easier said than done, especially if you’ve built up defences and protections to keep pain out. Those defences that have kept you safe in the past might now block something real from coming through. Your challenge, over the course of 2008, is to take those defences down and make yourself vulnerable. If this means learning to love again, then that’s what you need to do, with Saturn bringing many second chances, especially in the first few months of the year. Old love or old feelings are likely to resurface, this time around with a much greater chance of success.

At the same time Jupiter, planet of luck, is making this an expansive and lucky year for travel, learning and adventure. You’re really being encouraged to step out of your comfort zone and instead of once again putting your dreams on hold, to make this the year where your motto is ‘Just do it’!

This is an important year for love, with Saturn staying in your romantic sector all year. Fate is likely to be playing a major role around the 21st February, when a total lunar eclipse brings a whole lot of fate into play.

This is also a bit of a career year, especially when it comes to your dreams and goals, many of which have been building for several years. This might finally be the year when you follow those dreams, with new doors destined to open, as early as the 7th February, when a total solar eclipse is likely to bring opportunities, from out of the blue.

Throughout all the different themes that will ebb and flow throughout your year, the constant themes are set to revolve around your romantic life, children, creative talents, career, study and travel.

Go into this year aware that this is your year, a year when the stars are smiling on you, with it much more likely that good things will happen, than in previous years. Aware that it’s what you focus on, that determines what you attract, move into the year focused on the amazing things that the year has on offer.
