The New Year changes your theme song from 'All Together Now' to 'I Me Mine.' Through February 22nd, you're all about finding and defining your power. You'll continue to push against a resistant world. Ironically, you can do the greatest good for people from January 21st to February 19th. By March it will be too late, unless you choose to pay the escalating price of operating in visible, fashionable ways.
Around March 22nd, you have trouble telling the past from the future. Not knowing what you need affects your relationships with others. You can bluff your way through until the end of April. Venus plays a strong, welcome role in your affairs during May's first three weeks, although someone might overwhelm you emotionally. Adaptation is easier after May 22nd. As long as you can guess the answers, the questions won't seem nearly as challenging. Maybe you're finally outgrowing an old, inconvenient habit.
The first days of Summer prove that you're not ready to let go. At least you can expect a pleasant surprise at the end of July. The power that you sought earlier now erupts with enough force to knock lesser people off their feet. For you it's the beginning of a joyride straight through to the end of the year. By late August the first blush of excitement fades. It's time to get busy. With restored vision and clean windows, you see further and with greater detail. Take over the duties of someone that doesn't have a clue.
After September 24th, you move easily among others, adjusting them to your specifications. You could meet some resistance after October 22nd, but everyone around you is polite and justified while the world descends into Halloween madness. Mid-November is delightfully unsettled until the 23rd. Once you see the reason, you're free to make new laws and strategies. Nothing goes as expected between the Winter Solstice and the New Year. Take it as it comes, and enjoy yourself.
Your love life in 2011
Romance could be difficult for the first part of January. The simplest things are questioned and reviewed. Dream logic influences your waking actions around the 16th. Strange behaviour makes or breaks a relationship, moving you beyond that analytical limbo. Passion rules your life in February. Those who have trouble committing find it easier around the 21st. Maybe security or self-preservation motivates you, but your partner doesn't have to know. Flatter him or her with the quality of your attention.
Over the course of the Spring, you move from uneasy comfort to romantic bliss. In late March and early April, relationships blossom like the flowers that now decorate your neighborhood. Wardrobe, grooming and reputation become more important when the Sun reaches Taurus. Caring friends or seemingly random events prepare you for something special, and you're the last to know. By mid-May, love works its mystical transformation on your ordinary life. It's a month of intense pairing from May 22nd to June 21st. Couple energy and romantic possibilities sweep away all other thoughts. Your attention span suffers (as if that matters).
Distraction and disorder become less fun as you approach July. Unpredictable action seems to be the rule rather than the exception. While you're rethinking what passion means and whether you need it, the Sun enters Leo and shines on you with true love and deep kindness. You relish this type of drama. The background noise is bearable when people so obviously care about each other. If there's a significant age difference between partners, things could get a bit hairy around August 28th. Otherwise, expect hardly any problems before December.
New lovers and longtime companions feel the nesting urge at the Autumnal Equinox. It's hard to imagine being in someone's way when you always make such a great effort to see each other. Personalities may clash in late October, but expect a sweet resolution around November 8th. For now, your needs as a couple matter more than your needs as an individual. Life and love run smoothly until December 17th. The gift you expected from your sweetheart may not be forthcoming. Stay calm. Maybe he or she has something even better in mind.
Your career in 2011
When Mercury retrogrades on day two of the New Year, look at your business plan with an eye on revision. Dissatisfied associates try to change or abandon the project. Once the Sun reaches Aquarius, team spirit is easier to rally. Speeches and memos are brief and timely. Use this opportunity to develop and implement, because the climate will change by the end of February, when the users and the used fall into their obvious roles. People with different mindsets stake out their territory in the first three weeks of March. Office politics overshadow the real reason why you're all here.
After March 22nd, go-getters do their going and getting under the Aries Sun. If you're not among them, their success makes you jealous around April 3rd. The 21st brings a chance to redeem yourself. Know that your boss or client is watching and expecting. Personal growth experiences in mid-May could help you professionally. Administrators feel the power of information on the 20th. June is a good month for those who remember that it's more about people than profit.
Service providers notice clients becoming less rational as Summer begins. The Cancer Sun gives Water and Earth Signs permission to do things that make your job harder. If you can restrain yourself during this time, the situation will correct itself. Maybe you'll start working with people better suited to your goals and temperament. By the last days of August, you're reducing the complex and arcane to simple statements and formulas. You play internal solutions against external conditions throughout September. A good deal gets even better.
By September 24th, your influence expands through new advisory or leadership duties. While substance is important, you know that most people pay attention to appearance. By October 25th, you're tired of roundabout strategies. Consumer confidence trembles at your direct approach, but it comes back stronger than ever when your instincts are true. Longtime employees chart their course as freelancers in November. By mid-December, though, the downside becomes apparent. Stop over-leveraging your resources with impossible promises. If you ignore these realities, the Sun will make them all too clear when it enters Capricorn. Let the wise Goat inspire you to be more conservative for the time being.
