Life is changing, and if this is not apparent to you at the start of the year, it will be very evident after the total solar eclipse in your sign on the July 22^nd. The biggest changes are likely to occur in relationships and business partnerships but you can safely say that the most important developments of 2009 will be brought about through other people and their actions and decisions. Finding balance and harmony is a key theme for 2009 and with polarities in more than one area of life from time to time you will feel pulled in two directions at once. You'll also need to think with your head, not your heart: this is a year when the stakes are high and the strong and the adaptable succeed. You will get your share of lucky breaks though and someone you have helped or loved in the past could repay you.

LOVE

You are getting your first taste of the Pluto effect, especially if you have a June birthday. Translated, this means that you are about to find out who can take you to the stars and who can dump you from a very great height! Powerful new relationships will be born while others will come to acrimonious ends. And the periods around August 1^st and December 28^th could prove crucial in this regard. You are by nature a very cautious sign but it may be impossible to prevent many of the developments that happen in your love life this year, or, indeed, your response to your own feelings. Nonetheless, while it may seem as though fate has the upper hand once an event has happened you will have control over what you do next... The signs of Scorpio and Aquarius could figure in your love story.

AND THE REST

You are going to have to adapt to a new set of circumstances this year, whether changes within and additions to the family circle make this necessary or financial and professional developments affect the current status quo. Certainly, you should remain as fluid as you can. The housing market will not recover quickly but should you be able to purchase a property before October you will have made a major investment. Saturn's transit of the home base from October will ultimately stabilize your life but there will be some losses to accommodate along the way and everything will take t-i-m-e. The July 4^th - 16^th is a key period for life, love and the rest: in some cases unexpected events will compromise your income while in others an unanticipated development will have all round benefits.
