LIFE

In 2009 you are clearing the way for take-off. During the coming twelve months, activities, associations and certain life-structures that are not part of your future will crumble and you should experience a sense of liberation in the process. It is as if the hands on the cosmic clock are pointing to one minute to mid-night and on January 18, 2010 a new era begins. Many of the good things taking shape will not be immediately obvious and you will be surprised at the way casual offers, vague ideas and unimpressive dates morph into major items months down the line. Likewise, minor distress signals need to be addressed immediately in order to prevent serious problems – and this is especially relevant where finances, well-being and relationships are concerned. Fortunately, your spiritual and psychological reserves are strong and out of any crisis you will emerge like a butterfly.

LOVE

For the past two years the combination of Uranus in your own sign and Saturn in the relationship zone has seen your love life run the gamut from exciting to excruciating! And while this trend will be fading in 2009 it will not entirely disappear. Thus, you must do your best not to seem needy or wobbly and to avoid devoting yourself to hopeless causes. Your emotional needs are changing, as are many aspects of your life, and, a relationship must grow with you, otherwise it will fall apart. With this in mind the periods around January 23^rd, September 17^th and October 9^th could prove particularly powerful. Also, the year starts out with romantic Venus is your sign so you could be celebrating a wedding or engagement before the end of February. The sign of Libra may have much to offer you in the way of love and wisdom this year but as I mentioned earlier, 2009 is a clearing-the-decks year.

AND THE REST

You may crave stability and security but in this climate you are unlikely to get them. Rather you should be true to your Fishy self and swim with the current, allowing it to take you forward, which it surely will. In an ideal world you would use 2009 to retrain, go back to 'school' or to retreat from the rat-race. Otherwise, diversify, don't put all your eggs in one basket. You are one of the most highly creative signs of the zodiac and this year brings some unusual and unpredictable elements into play, especially in July – be very vigilant during the early stages of a creative enterprise and don't take chances. Another word of advice: if you are in a partnership be sure you have some financial independence and be vigilant with joint accounts and shared responsibilities. Your mantra should be: look after number one – that's you!
