The year begins with some baffling events, but you use them as opportunities to learn and grow. You're ready for a new program, but everyone else is still watching reruns! After January 22nd, you integrate divergent elements into a solid whole. You're more accepting and acceptable. You're a breath of fresh air in any social situation. By the end of February, however, you want to be sitting on the sidelines, happily content. Use this down time to take care of your personal business: The stacks have grown tall with neglect.
The Spring cleaning bug bites hard in late March and early April. You throw out whatever you aren't using and start over again. Although you're known for your verbal skills, after the 3rd you need direct experiences. By the 26th you're relating to reality in a new, safe and beneficial way. A new phase of awareness begins after May 15th, sweeping you back into the mainstream. When the Sun finally enters your Sign, its influence brings logic and passion, art and industry and many other seeming opposites to a state of harmony in your life for the rest of this season.
Late in June, decisions are based on assumptions that flow from your desires. This system works as long as everyone agrees with it. After July 24th, solos turn into ensembles. Community brings its rewards as many people get their opportunity to shine. This level of sharing becomes a mixed blessing in the last week of August. Critical thinking displaces warm fuzziness and you're pulled along by a deep urge to get involved with something more challenging.
After September 24th, you're back in your element. You have some outrageous, good, clean fun with those that you love. Think the best of others even if they seem to be fair-weather friends by Halloween. After November 8th, you get a taste of the vindication you felt back in February when heads swivel in your direction. A new restlessness emerges after the 23rd. If you spend the holiday season traveling, constant variety may grow old after December 17th. Find your roots and settle in for the Winter.
Your love life in 2011
Your giddy, hyperactive experience of love turns thoughtful as the year begins. Recognize your effect on others, and see if you want to change it. You're more social after January 21st. Expect better communication with your lover, or maybe you'll find the resolve to find someone that fits your new self. For most of February you play the field without committing, but near the 22nd, you fall hard for the man or woman of your dreams. If this person wrapped you around his or her finger, you couldn't imagine a better place to be.
By the fourth week in March, pride and dignity rear their heads. You've been pushed around before, and you know how to push back. This period of passion and tension stretches into early May. On or after the 3rd, your love becomes less inner-focused and more universal. A casual relationship dissolves without hard feelings. You're destined for something more rewarding after the 20th, when a meeting of the minds leads to the possibility for romance. The last week of the month has you wondering if it's all happening too fast, but the next few days resolve your doubts.
Summer begins with a flood of intensity. At first you don't mind just being together without saying much, but after a month you're hungry for conversation. The person with whom you have an easy, witty rapport in late July could become your next partner. This transition might take eight or nine weeks, some of which will be a stressful cat-and-mouse game. The quality of romance might also suffer between August 28th and September 19th. The person you desire isn't paying attention. On the 20th, his or her focus shifts to you, where it obviously belongs.
Past or current relationships get resolved after September 27th. By the end of October, this accord may be showing some wrinkles. Instinct drives you more than you care to admit. Your best chance to control it comes on the 25th; otherwise, expect months of an uphill battle with yourself. Passions rise against the teetering balance of male and female energy. Is something about to change for good? As the Sun comes to Capricorn, you appreciate the necessity of staying together through the bad as well as the good. However you reach commitment, it's a giant step.
Your career in 2011
Lately you may feel as if you're treading water. The reason becomes evident around January 16th. Unrealistic expectations are damaging your credibility. This perspective gets your house in order. Goods and services improve with strategies and attitudes after the 22nd. Suddenly, you're an industry leader or a major player on the winning team. Around February 20th, circumstances remove you from the field or floor. You welcome the break, but you won't get such a good view of the action in your new spot.
By the Vernal Equinox, your research or administrative tenure pays off. Whether developing a business or paving your own career path, expect this upswing to last the next few months. Individualists buy into the established order by April 21st when they meet a deal too good to resist. Circumstances on or after the 26th give you a little time to exercise your options. By then, the Sun is in your Sign, and you're comfortable in your appointed or hired role. An oversight by a supervisor or parent company ends near or on June 6th. Now you're free to operate however you want.
Start-up excitement fades to a manageable level late in June, and you're free to explore other possibilities from the comfort of your routine. Business and social life intertwine pleasantly near July 24th, although getting too chummy with subordinates or competitors could blunt your edge. At first you celebrate this recasting of job descriptions, but after August 28th it may be necessary to terminate or reassign staff members whose efforts are counterproductive. For all the good things about project or business management, this is the one that hurts the most.
In the final week of September you're ready for conventions and trade shows. Your handshake and smile can sell anything. By October 22nd you should delegate or pass the buck. On the 24th, utilitarian methods appear harsh and tyrannical. This might be how you get the job done, but it's not how you endear yourself to coworkers and long-term clients. Some undercurrents of strong emotion rise up around Christmas when everyone is making nice. Take this time to look over your accomplishments of the past year and think about areas that need improvement.
