Horoscopes 2011

Aquarius
January 21 to February 19
Famous people of Aquarius: Jane Seymour, John Travolta, Clark Gable.

General
New directions are the theme this year. Although Neptune's influence has given you some balance for 12 years, it's about time the dreamy planet took a hike, leaving you with a stronger sense of spirituality while giving you back your much clearer brain. Uranus is on the scene now, with its irrepressible need for change. You're bursting with new ideas and perspectives. Volunteering and humanitarian issues may become more important to you and might take you to another country.
Work and Finances
Until March you'll need to be contemplating financial matters, especially after seven years of Uranus causing many ups and downs. This year Jupiter and Pluto play the same game with your career, and you may find yourself ready to leave an unsatisfying job. Perhaps it's time to go back to school or start your own business. But you will be inspired to make a big change.
Love and Relationships
Pluto stirs memories deep within you; memories which can create valuable insights into your relationships. This sturdy planet likes to clear out the old and make way for the new, so watch for changes in how you view the past and present. This could shake things up in your relationship, as you're no longer satisfied with one that doesn't challenge you or meet your needs. You'll be pushed to either work at it or leave it behind, if you and your partner are just not on the same page.
Health and Happiness
Neptune's influence can make you creative and imaginative until April, and again after August. You may feel like you're floating through your life, but that's the fluidity of Neptune allowing you to create possibilities. Saturn will help you make them real. After June, your focus turns to home and family. Pluto's presence makes it a great time for you to take charge of your life and your health, change your diet, get in shape, and create new and healthy habits.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
Famous people of Pisces: Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Elizabeth Taylor.
General
In the past seven years Uranus has been throwing your life into the air.
You've watched it land in several scattered pieces which you've been trying to put back together. You've changed a lot in that time and you're stronger for it.
In January, this great planet of change and the unexpected joins forces with Jupiter, urging you to leave the past behind and sending you off in a completely new direction. In the last seven years, Uranus will have influenced you to make many changes in your life, some sudden and unexpected, some you now regret. Contemplate all of this.
Rather than seeing what you did wrong, see how far you've come. Then get ready for new and more positive adventures.
Work and Finances
After all the misery Uranus has caused you in recent years, you'll be happy about some of the positive changes it's bringing. You'll discover new ways to generate an income. From January to June, Jupiter's powerful energy breathes life into your financial situation, but be patient with obstacles that are put in your path.
Being impulsive at work is not a good plan, although you'll be tempted around June and November. It wouldn't be worth the consequences. Venus and Jupiter will excite you by bringing lots of opportunities to make money in new ways until June, but Uranus adds instability. Mind your pennies and you should be just fine.
Love and Relationships
If a dating relationship isn't working out, the full moon in January may make you move on. Otherwise, it will mean romance. Committed relationships may go a step further in March. June and July could be bumpy for you with a partner.
A good relationship will only get better, but if it's not working you may decide to move on.
Health and Happiness
Pencil in some downtime so you don't burn out. Re-evaluate your lifestyle.
Let Neptune deepen your sense of spirituality, increase your intuitive abilities, and inspire you to make changes in diet or exercise. Other areas in your life may need a tune-up, too. See what needs to change and take steps to make it happen.
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Famous people of Aries: Emma Watson, Russell Crowe, Elton John.
General
This will be a year of great change, with expansion the key word. Numerous possibilities are just waiting for you to find them. Completions and endings will be significant, as will finding the means to make your dreams come true. If you've already spent time looking at how to improve your life and achieve your goals,  the transformation that awaits you will be even easier. On top of Jupiter's push for expansion this year, Uranus will enjoy turning things inside out for you, and for the next seven years. You got
a glimpse of it last summer. Buckle up. It could be quite a ride, but if you go with the flow, it'll be a lot easier.
Work and finances
With all this energy for expansion around you, you'll feel a need to push ahead and really get somewhere in your career.
You may end up butting heads with your boss, switching careers altogether or starting your own business. Jupiter will compel you to make significant changes. With a powerful boost from Pluto, get busy planning. Investing in yourself and your business will be wise, but mind your pennies. Watch for possible signs of success in July and again in October.
Love and relationships

Saturn might upset your relationships, which may feel like they're demanding  too much from you. Spring could have you contemplating whether to call it quits or make a serious commitment. Whichever you choose, you'll probably chew on your decision until summer, when push comes to shove and you'll make your feelings known.
After September, Venus brings a boost of romance to your love life.

Health and Happiness
In typical Aries fashion, you love a challenge. This year, Uranus will kick these into high gear, triggering a desire for independence that you've not felt before. You can expect everything from exhilaration to frustration to tension. Whether or not you do anything drastic, you'll definitely be shaking things up for yourself on a personal level by being more physically active in an effort to burn off that excess energy, especially after April.
Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Famous people of Taurus: Uma Thurman, Bing Crosby, Katherine Hepburn.

General

Get ready for a year of endings. But it will be aspects of your life that need to go, and they'll pave the way for beginnings. Jupiter will have you feeling a sense of urgency to finish up the old and get on with the new, as your interests are changing. But be careful not to charge ahead like the bull you are. Saturn's influence asks you to knuckle down and work hard. Cutting corners will only mess you up, so avoid the temptation and just get to work. Uranus will shake things up for you, bringing many changes
- probably in several areas of your life. Don't worry. If anything changes, it was necessary.
Work and Finances
Thanks to Neptune's misty influence since 1999, your career has been something of a stagnant swamp instead of a clear, sparkling pool. Finally, from April to August, it leaves your tenth house.
You'll begin to have some clarity about where you're headed, so start setting goals. Mind your pennies come June; there's a chance of some instability here. But you can prevent major trouble if you gather information, especially to do with a potentially risky investment. Research carefully and watch how you spend, at least until the end of September.
Love and Relationships
What a great way to begin the year. Romance is in the air as Venus trines with Jupiter and Uranus - doing wonders for your relationship or helping you find new love. Peppered throughout the year are opportunities for the heart to be surprised by a friendship suddenly blossoming into a relationship, or a special someone seeming to pop up out of nowhere. As is typical with Uranus, expect the unexpected, and know that change is inevitable. If you're already in a relationship, you'll love the magic that only
Venus can create. It should be a delicious summer.
Health and Happiness
Saturn's influence this year will leave you feeling overworked, so there's more reason than ever to make sure you get plenty of rest and trade in any self-destructive or unhealthy habits. Jupiter will be only too happy to work against you, bringing lots of temptation toward indulgence. Find ways to stay fit.
Gemini

May 22 to June 21
Famous people of Gemini: Joan Collins, Tom Jones, Gladys Knight.

General
You're usually full of ideas, but this year it might feel like you've got a pinball machine on steroids inside your head.
Not all your ideas will be good ones, however; you'll need to weed out the best ones and work toward bringing them to fruition. Saturn's influence is pushing you to collect yourself and be more focused and productive. Jupiter and Uranus in your tenth house kick your insights into high gear, potentially altering your career path.
Work and Finances

Neptune will give you a nudge of inspiration about your professional life between April and August. It's time for a change. Take time to consider all you've learned from your work experiences and begin to build on it now. With your heart and soul in your work, you'll find far more fulfillment and a greater sense of well-being. If your work can't give your spirit the satisfaction it craves, find other ways to meet its needs.
Love and Relationships
Your head and your heart can often  battle with close relationships. This year begins with your relationship issues staring you in the face. It's time to be clear with yourself - and relevant others - about what your needs are. What you do  early in the year will have lasting effects, possibly for many years. Listen to that little voice inside - it never lies. November could see a relationship becoming more serious, or a committed one being strengthened. However, this is not a good time to move in with someone or
begin any sort of financial partnership.
Health and Happiness
This year you really must pay attention to weeding out the important thoughts and actions from the ones that are major time-wasters. Although you can soar to the greatest of heights with your ideas and fantasies, this year requires you to be disciplined. Examine your life and what you want from it so you can be ready to advance in a new direction. June delivers the boost you need to set out on a new path for personal and financial success. Its influence will help you make changes that you wish to become part of your life.
Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Famous people of Cancer: Meryl Streep, Princess Diana, Ringo Starr.

General
Timidity and hesitation won't do you any favours this year. It's time to get down to business, take responsibility for what's happening in your life and make it be what you want it to be. Saturn's transit through your fourth house means this year will have its emotional challenges. Six to eight years ago you were pushed to make an important decision about where your life was headed. That cycle is drawing to a close but it presents a turning point.
You may move house - but bear in mind it's not a good year to buy property.
Longstanding family troubles may be resolved one way or the other.
Work and Finances
You're a natural in terms of making money. From January to June, Jupiter's expansiveness will bring a boost to your career. With this sudden growth, you could find yourself taking on too much. Keep your feet on the ground and be realistic. Uranus could bring unexpected changes at work. After June, networking possibilities are excellent, opening new doors of opportunity.
Love and Relationships
This year, you might find yourself somewhat dissatisfied with your relationship. The most important thing you can do for yourself in this regard is speak honestly about what it is you need from your partner. Pluto is plodding along, powerfully transforming your relationships in ways that you will ultimately see as very positive. There will be many opportunities this year for new love or greater romance in existing relationships.
With a boost in work and career this year, there may be extra demands on your personal life. Just be mindful of this so you can plan some "downtime" with your partner so you don't become stressed.
Health and Happiness
With your career keeping you busier this year, you must safeguard your health. Your immune system might be stressed if you've got more going on than usual.
Be sure to find ways to relieve that stress every day, and do your best to fit in some play time as often as possible.
August could see you hurting yourself if you're in a hurry.
Leo
July 24 to August 23
Famous people of Leo: Amelia Earhart, Matthew Broderick, Bill Clinton.
General
You'll find yourself making some dramatic and very positive changes in your beliefs as well as in your career. With Jupiter's influence from January to June, you feel ready to take on the world with new ideas which will take you down a new path if you're brave enough to follow it. You've got big things to accomplish but they may mean making some equally big decisions. Returning to school, continuing your studies, or broadening your career skills will all be likely this year, possibly done online.

Work and Finances

You couldn't ask for a better year for change or advancement in your career or job. You'll be recognised as an asset to the company, or you'll find yourself ready to bust out and find something new. June sees Jupiter offering a significant positive influence in your career, with the potential for greater success. Results are possible in the late summer or autumn. Finances  may be "boom or bust", but if you stick to a careful budget from April to August things should stabilise in September.

Love and Relationships
Your home life was a bit bumpy last year as Pluto and Saturn stirred things up. You'll be relieved to know you'll get a break from that this year. Your perspectives in many areas of your life are changing for the better these days. This could create some significant changes in your relationship. If your partner is willing to work with you, your relationship could become stronger than ever.

Health and Happiness

Your workload may be heavier than usual at times this year. Remember to take special care of yourself. It will be especially important to do something about any self-destructive habits so you can be as healthy as possible to ward off the effects of any extra stress that you experience. You may find yourself itching to go back to school or, in some way,  continue your studies. Whether for business or pleasure, it's a great time for it.
Virgo
August 24 to September 23
Famous people of Virgo: Michael Jackson, Richard Gere, Raquel Welch.

General
I'll bet you're really glad the last few years of pressure, problems and tough decisions are behind you. This year you'll be more productive and finally  feel like you're getting somewhere. A more fulfilling career is out there somewhere and as your values and beliefs have been changing you'll begin to contemplate finding it.
Work and Finances
This year is likely to bring unexpected changes regarding your career. The first, around June, might not feel great at first but will actually improve your situation in the end. The second, around December, could see you feeling torn between home and career, but your emotions are likely making it seem worse than it really is. Just find ways to calm yourself and de-stress a bit. Your financial situation will need a little extra care and attention  this year. There will be plenty of opportunities to invest in get-rich-quick
schemes but you must not be reckless.

Love and Relationships
Uranus loves unexpected change and disruption, and your relationship will feel it in the first half of this year, especially in March. But remember, changes will ultimately benefit you. If you and your partner are willing to work at it, your efforts will pay off in the second half of the year. A solar eclipse may cause emotions to run high briefly in July, but if it happens don't sweat it, it will be short-lived. There will be a few more little speedbumps  from August to October. By November, your career plans could interfere
with your personal life. Keep those plans to yourself until you've sorted it and you're certain about what you want and how to make it work.

Health and Happiness
This year, you can feel you're entering a new phase in your life, but you're unsure of just what that means. It may feel like a lot of hurry up and wait, but the rewards will come if you can just be patient. February will be a blur of busyness; take time to relax to prevent overload. April sees another period where you'll feel the need for a little time out. Take it. In November, be careful with tools or if you're working in the kitchen to avoid any problems or injuries.

Libra

September 24 to October 23
Famous people of Libra: Sting, Sigourney Weaver, John Lennon.

General
This will be a year to reflect on your life, to re-evaluate your accomplishments, your obstacles and what you've learned so far. It's a good time to consider your goals for the next seven years. Preparing for the future is essential but be patient; this is not the time to make major changes. It is a time of planning and building for later success.
Work and Finances
January has the potential to create conflict between home and career obligations. The good news is that with all the transformation you're experiencing these days, expansive Jupiter will get you thinking about changing your career or job situation to allow you more flexibility. This issue may arise again with an event in July, but it may tempt you to cut and run from work. Be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot. In July, you'll begin to discover abilities you didn't know you had in terms of earning money in
new ways. New job or career opportunities lie ahead but, if possible, postpone making any significant changes until next year.

Love and Relationships
From January to June, Jupiter brings possibility for a new romance, or solidifying an existing one. Uranus is on the scene, shaking up relationships with friends, partners or colleagues. It also brings change and the unexpected with sudden arrivals or departures of people in your life. Be careful of making a commitment too quickly in a new relationship; Uranus can be a bit fickle, so take your time before diving in head first. If it's the real thing, it will last. If a relationship needs to end, you may struggle to let
it go. But if it's really over, you'll come to terms with it and be ready to move on.

Health and Happiness

Neptune rolls through your house of health from April to August. This means a good chance of minor problems such as exhaustion or allergies. You may be feeling extra sensitive, so it's a good idea to take special care of yourself. Aside from the usual assortment of diet and exercise regimes, feeding your spirit with meditation and/or yoga will go a long way to reducing stress.
Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
Famous people of Scorpio: Ronnie Raitt, Demi Moore, Prince Charles.
General
Buckle up, Scorpio. This year begins with a power-packed burst of energy and desire for growth and change, thanks to Uranus and Jupiter. I know, you're not a big fan of change, but this year you're ready for it and you may even get rather excited and impatient about it. Get ready to take the bull by the horns and shake things up a whole lot.
Work and Finances
Pluto has been pushing you to re-evaluate your thoughts and plans.
This exciting transformation began three years ago and will continue for another 12. Jupiter impatiently pushes you to hurry, but remember Rome wasn't built in a day. This year will see lots of opportunities for growth and change, but pay attention and act carefully, especially during the first three weeks of April. The planets will be playing tug-of-war with your finances this year, back and forth, in and out, so mind your pennies and wait for the next break.
Love and Relationships

This year, there are points at which an established relationship will do even better. There are also challenges for you regarding the unrealistic expectations and restrictions you place on yourself. You keep getting in your own way. If you want your relationship to work, then stop shooting yourself in the foot and allow yourself to be happy. Examine your relationships with your children in the first two months of the year; see these people for who they are now and think about what they need, because it may
have changed more than you've been noticing.
Health and Happiness
Up to June, Jupiter's optimism makes the first part of the year an excellent time to develop habits which will improve your health. Neptune's influence will urge you to explore self-expression and creativity, so get out those paints, take a craft class or pursue your hobbies. From August onward, Neptune's unpredictability may make communication in your family a bit difficult because of misunderstandings.  Creative outlets will give you time out and help alleviate the stress.
Sagittarius

November 23 to December 22
Famous people of Sagittarius: Kim Basinger, Kirk Douglas, L.V. Beethoven.

General
Creativity, invention and letting go are key words for this year, unlocking a need for self-expression and moving on. You'll need to change your home in some way,  with clearing out, rearranging, or family transformations involving the resolutions or conclusions of situations. You're beginning an eight-year period which will bring a lot of socialising, romance and playtime.
Work and Finances
Jupiter's expansive influence triggers creativity and ideas that could be useful in your career plans. But this enthusiastic planet is known for writing cheques it can't cash and it may make you overly optimistic about the amount of work you can do this year. Be careful not to take on too much in case you find yourself unable to deliver. Pluto plods along, happy to assist with future financial success, but in the meantime it wants you to do the boring things necessary to get you there. Plan. Budget. Save. Avoid
debt and get-rich-quick schemes. There may be some unpleasant surprises with money this year, but if you're prepared and  cautious with your finances, you should be okay.

Love and Relationships
Passion, romance and seduction will light up your life until June, but especially  in May. Whether you're seeking love or already in a relationship, especially one that could use a boost, the year is set to sizzle. Beware; it has some potential for make-or-break issues to arise in June and December.
Health and Happiness
This is going to be a powerful year, with major shifts and changes everywhere. To be sure you have the energy they'll require, de-clutter and reorganise your home, and make sure you have a little personal space for yourself if you haven't already got it. A room or even a corner of one will do so you've got a place for some meditating, reading, or just a little quiet time to recharge your batteries.
Up to June is a great time to develop a healthier lifestyle; it is more likely to become a habit if begun during this period.
Capricorn
December 23 to January 20
Famous people of Capricorn: Val Kilmer, J.R.R. Tolkien, David Bowie.

General
Two years ago, Pluto settled in for a 15-year stint with its slow-but-steady transformational energy to all aspects of your life. You'll have already noticed this to some extent, but despite the enormity of its end result, you're probably unable to see where this is all going. Jupiter brings progress later this year, although this summer, Uranus causes unexpected domestic changes which may somewhat disrupt  your personal life.   Remember: Uranus only changes that which needs changing.
Work and Finances
Finally, you're getting your foot on that ladder, seeing that you could be more successful than ever. But of course this will also mean a lot of hard work, which could make waves in your personal life. March sees Saturn opposing Jupiter, and that long-standing issue of balancing home and work will be in your face, demanding attention. The planets are aligning to give you great money-making potential this year. Jupiter might urge you to take a huge financial risk with some sort of investment but as it doesn't
always follow through on its promises, you are urged to use caution, especially in September.

Love and Relationships
Between your ongoing transformation and increased work pressure, things at home could go a bit pear-shaped this year. Prior awareness can ease you through any bumps. Venus gives you a romantic reprieve through February, and beginning in June, Jupiter brings out your playful side for a year. A solar eclipse in July shakes up your seventh house, shifting relationships so a good one becomes even better, or one that isn't working is ended.
Health and Happiness
Be ready for the great changes Uranus brings. With Pluto working on transforming your life for several more years, be diligent about looking after yourself. Guard your health, buckle up and go with the flow. Know that the changes needed to occur. It may be bumpy for a while but ultimately, you'll be much better off.
