 2005 Overview Aries Ram, you look to be in line for some wonderful partnership luck with Jupiter in your 7th house. You and your partner will have the opportunity to grow closer by pursuing your ideals, hopes and wishes together. Defining the spiritual values of you and those closest to you will align your relationships and allow you to pursue value based interests together. If you are looking for a new love interest your best bet is to get out there and be seen during the first few months of 2005. Join a humanitarian group; go out with groups of friends from work. Your personal energy will create a magnetism that draws others to you. Be careful of this energy if you are in a committed relationship because your attracting powers will be strong this year, especially in early spring. Sexual energy and being mysteriously drawn to someone, and secretly spending time with them are possibilities for 2005. The Ram should have a year of increased energy, which is a wonderful asset in trying to achieve your goals. The increase in energy could also bring an increase in anxiety or nervous disorders due to the presence of Mercury in your solar first house. Extra care will be required in all physical efforts to assure you do not injure yourself in your exuberance or perhaps by not paying enough attention to what you are doing. Early summer will be the most likely time for an injury to occur, or possibly an elective surgery. The Moon, which rules your emotional responses as well as those you are preconditioned to exhibit due to childhood traumas or joys, will be in your 2nd house in Taurus. Financial security and money desired in order to make you comfortable is an issue for you this year, even if only subconsciously. You may experience emotional episodes when issues arise over monetary spending. The Moon is a fluid sign, therefore money may ebb and flow like the tides. Your fluid resources are plentiful, but your collateral or long term investments should be reviewed. The North Node or Dragon’s Head is also in your 1st house, indicating a year of increased karmic activity which will affect you on a personal level. The North Node correlates with power, fame, beauty and worldly desires. You stand to reap what you have sown in a very personal way. The downside of your North Node is congruent with the old adage “be careful what you wish for, as you will surely get it”. The timekeeper, Saturn is in residence in your 4th house, indicating a familial loss, or if things have been tumultuous for your near and dear, a stabilization. Saturn is usually present when we are being kept from doing something we shouldn’t do. Consider it the referee to your ballgame who lets you know when you are out of bounds on something…in your case, real estate, family situation or foundations, all 4th house ruled. Lucky Jupiter is hanging out in your 7th house, which probably means an increased closeness with your partner, or many close friends entering your life. However, the South Node is also in residence in the 7th, so endings or compulsive relationships are also possible. Jupiter is the greater benefic, as I have mentioned in previous columns, however, when poorly aspected or transited it can also bring an end to suffering, including death. If someone close to you has been suffering this may be the year they find their release. Lucky Jupiter is spending time in your solar 6th house this year. Since the big planet will continue in Libra for most of the year, some possibilities for this placement include: Expanded activities with your partner or other favorite person; doctors visits associated with motherhood; day to day activities which expand your ideals and dreams; and as mentioned above, lucky career opportunities. You might also want to get a new pet, especially a large one. I recommend big sweet dogs with floppy ears myself. Just make sure you have the room, and the time for one. Another element of luck this year can be found in your neighborhood, with your siblings and associated with training and teaching. Communications should be enjoyable, especially those that are nurturing and emotional. Call your mom. Mars, on the other hand, is hanging out with a crowd of rebels or hippies (Uranus), meaning some of the people you spend time with may be vastly different you’re your past relationships. Magnetic attractions will be sudden and based on mutual values, or perhaps superficial attitudes (like falling for a guy with a gorgeous face and body, and the intellect of a house plant). If you are in the market for intimate encounters, expect someone to enter your world suddenly, rock it off its hinges, and then disappear or become unavailable. At the very least, the men in your life are in for some changes or unexpected events will be initiated by them. Your health is looking quite good in 2005. Your protectors are Venus and Lucky Jupiter. The only warning I can give you is you might put on a few pounds, and if you have a family history of diabetes, or are already diagnosed, watch the sweets and diligently monitor your condition. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, and if it is poorly aspected in your personal natal chart, you could be susceptible to tumors or cancer. If you are already diagnosed with one of these diseases, then Jupiter might cause it to grow rapidly. Money is a prominent issue for the Bull in 2005 with two planets in your 2nd house at the beginning of the year. The Moon brings emotional responses and Venus represents the opportunity to make more money fairly easily. Look for financial opportunities associated with the women and an easing of communications with people of influence. The media, teaching, writing or artistic endeavors are all favored. Dual income households will find financial assistance or gains in wealth. Start putting your dreams in order, especially in reference to your career, because there may be opportunities for sudden advancement or finding the ideal job. Do not overstate your abilities, or take part in any outright deception. August will likely be the month when truths come to light. This year also brings the possibility you will be sorely disappointed by someone in your life that you have mistakenly put on a pedestal…or visa versa. To avoid this pitfall, don’t hold yourself out as being more capable, successful, or reliable than you actually are; and don’t expect too much from other people, they too are only human and apt to make mistakes. Your 12th house, which is often considered the house of karma, is full of energy this year. Mercury is hiding there, so you may be taking part in secret communications or others may be talking about you behind your back. There is also an indication of a rather profound ending to communication with someone who has had a powerful influence in your life. If there is a tough goodbye in your future, take comfort in knowing it is the karmically correct thing to do, or at least has karmic implications which will be more positive than negative. Really… Your luck hinges on your siblings and communicative efforts, and especially, with older women. Your kids and creative enterprises are also sources of luck. Your creativity will be most fortunate if you join with a friend or partner. Together you may make your dreams, or the dreams of many other come true. 2005 is full of changes which may make the Twins feel a bit ungrounded. Your closest relationship is possibly the culprit. Your communications have been intense and there is even the potential that some of the deep truths which were uncovered are less than palatable. The good news is these difficult discussions have cleared the air, or will continue to clear the air so that you both can move on to brighter horizons. The Twins have a susceptibility to problems related to the sensory functions of the body, and with any organ/appendage/ area of the body for which there are two…such as the shoulders, lungs, eyes, kidneys, etc. Take special care of your kidneys this year. 2005 may bring problems in the health of your partner or close friends. You may be called upon to help these people if their health becomes more than they can bear alone. Don’t make them ask you…they feel bad enough already without having to beg others for assistance. Even if you don’t feel equipped to be of much help, just having you there for moral support will be enough. One blessing you have this year is happy little Venus in your 2nd house of money and values. Therefore your financial situation will be easily maintained. Caretaking, including cooking, and nursing are great areas to earn an extra buck. If you are charged with caring for an older woman, expect some lucky communications to be the result. Also sitting in your solar 2nd house, are the moon and Saturn. Saturn’s presence here indicates that your best bet financially will be to stay with tried and true methods, and don’t try shaking up the establishment. Saturn and the Moon are sometimes indicative of a feeling of coldness, loneliness or depression, which would be most prevalent during the first few months of the year. Any negative feelings will be easier to get over if you stay active and take the initiative in your career or socially. Joining with others in a community building project or other humanitarian effort is your calling for the year. Any involvement you have with groups of people will help your evolutionary growth this and perhaps even help you reach some much desired personal goal of your own. Catch up on your reading, or investigate some subject in more depth, for in so doing, you will strengthen your ability to disseminate knowledge and perhaps defend your position. Lucky Jupiter is hitched up with the South Node in the Crabs solar 4th house. They are involved in an opposition with Mars, which denotes things happening to you, rather than those things you initiated yourself. Mars rules sex, energy and anger, and is combined with the North Node in your solar 10th house of status and career. What does this all mean? Well, your luck is tied to the energy you have to put into your career, or with a male for whom you have a lot of future karma. Perhaps this person makes decisions at work which will either help or hinder your personal career goals. Showing initiative and drive to this person would help your cause immensely, especially during the first couple of weeks in April. Your established relationships are the only ones that matter this year. Anyone new entering the scene will not make a significant impact on your life and love unless they happen to be a Saturn ruled person, or have extensive Capricorn characteristics. Otherwise, stick with your tried and true relationships. They are really the only ones that matter. If there is someone from your past that haunts you, this would be a good year to look them up and see how they are doing. You may be able to take up right where you left off years ago… Pluto has been in residence in your 6th house of health for a good long time. Pluto can cause decay, however it is also the most resilient planet in the heavens. It is symbolized as the phoenix rising from the ashes. Never count someone as down and out who has strong Pluto influences in their chart. Health problems that could be plaguing the Cancer born have to do with energy levels or motor and sensory skills. If you are feeling fine, make sure your children are not having these problems. Money isn’t much of a problem for the Crab this year. Trips, cars and communication devices will be where you will spend your ample funds. If your funds are not as ample as you’d like, money making opportunities will present themselves via the aforementioned areas as well as through writing, teaching, public speaking and from your siblings. I’ve already mentioned the karmic involvements you will experience with someone in your career. This person will motivate you to achieve more and put more energy into advancing your status. Doing so will directly impact the foundations of your life and family. 2005 Overview Leo Overdoing communications or behaving compulsively will not bring you luck. In fact, luck will not be found at all if you do not put a lot of effort into creating it. The good thing is that you have Mars in your 10th house of career and status, so you will be motivated and driven to succeed, thereby creating your own luck. Lucky Jupiter is in your solar 3rd house with the Moon and South Node, making your tried and true fall back positions the luckiest for you. Short journeys, your community, and extended family are lucky, unless you’re in karmic payback mode, in which case the opposite will be true. This may also be a year of endings, probably involving family relationships or a piece of property you were rather attached to in the past. Of course it may be less life altering, such as a co-worker leaving the group, but for most Leos, there will be at least one termination of an important relationship. Much of your energy will be used on gambling, kids, lovers, and creativity. If you take a lover, it will be intense, passionate and very sexual in nature… So much so you will never be able to forget this person. Chronic health problems are the Lion’s lot in 2005. Problems that have plagued you in the past will come back with renewed vigor. Pay particular attention to your teeth, bones and skin. Women with light complexions need to start taking their soy and calcium supplements to fight off osteoporosis. Watch your sun exposure and take measures to protect yourself when out in the sun. Get any unusual looking moles checked out as soon as you notice them. The Lion can look forward to a year where they are put in charge of any and all things that require organization, memory, study, scientific method and administrative finesse. Most of these elements come in handy in the workplace, so it is an added bonus that you have Mars in the uppermost sector of your chart, focusing your ambitions and status. This is probably not the best year to take on a partner, so try to pass on any offers from the office hottie for a dual project. Number one you will probably end up having to do all the work while they get all the kudos, and number two…are you sure your reputation can handle it? It’s your call, but your astrologer sees mega danger signals for all new partnership activities, especially those that affect your bottom line. Your finances look to be happily stable and reliable, with a boost to them occurring in late summer, when Venus enters the house of values and finances. If you have an opportunity to travel to a foreign place this might be a good year to do so. You will have an opportunity to evolve in the process and through any men you are put in touch with there. The same holds true with philosophical studies, religious activities and strangers. You are being lead down a path away from extensive interaction with siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and people you knew in grammar school. You are being asked to expand your world outlook and interactions with the global community. You should have some career luck and increased luck in your personal status. The time keeper, Saturn, is hiding in the 12th house, arousing your fears for your security and the opportunity to look over your foundations. You would do well to use this period for reassessing and maintaining your assets. Virgo also is doubly blessed with both benefic influences present in their solar 2nd house. The South Node is also in attendance, so be careful not to waste resources on status oriented purchases. They will not bring you the happiness you thought they would. Your closest relationships will still be going through major, unforeseeable changes in 2005. Not all of this is bad; there could be a sudden attraction that offers you true love or a lucrative investment opportunity. Part of the reason you may not be as popular this year could be because you receive more attention than others would like for you to, which arouses their jealousy. There is a potential for a sudden relationship to be a threat to your family or foundations. Use your vast common sense in all new relationships. Virgo needs to continue to be aware of the subtle cues your body is giving you, because Neptune occupies your 6th house of health. Things may be going on beneath the surface that could be harming you without your knowledge. Get regular checkups and don’t ignore your body. Communications are what will make 2005 go around in your sphere of influence. Learn impromptu speaking on unusual subjects for the best results. There is money making potential connected to these communiqués, though for some reason the money either will not make you that happy, make you feel used, or cause a bit of unpopularity. These elements will be most prevalent during the early part of the year, and come around again in the fall. Regardless of the antagonism, you should be able to make your opportunities and career pay off for you. Karmically, this is a year for you to put your own needs first, and become more decisive and assertive in your manner. Having a spiritual balance to guide you will lead you towards the greatest blessings. Your energies are conveniently centered in the area of philosophical and religious pursuits, so your positive karmic potentials for the year will be more easily reached if you are open to trying. 2005 Overview Libra Libra is the sign of luck this year…at least until the end of October. Lucky Jupiter is in residence in the sign of the Scales and is bringing many opportunities your way. Most of these opportunities will come to you because you use your personal influence or extensive talents to attract others into your sphere that can help you reach your most cherished goals. If you are looking for a love affair, your best bet is to take a college course, or take a trip to a foreign clime. While you are there visit a library or get to know the person in the hotel room next door. You will have the best results if you initiate the contact. If you feel an immediate attraction to someone which somehow seems fated, don’t be surprised…it is. If you have noticed subtle changes in your body, but just blown them off and ignored them, look out. Uranus is sitting in your 6th house this year, and Uranus is notorious for sudden, unprecedented change, usually brought about by God trying to get your attention. Uranus rules your shins and ankles, so have a care ladies if you try wearing heels which are higher than you are used to wearing. Your finances could be impacted by your health, or because of insurance premiums on the rise. Your best bet as far as making money will come through jobs that require travel, writing or intense reading of journals and newspapers which pertain to your job. Keep up to date on all the latest news and breakthroughs in your business so you can impress your bosses, which could lead to you being chosen for the next big project or for a raise. Your karmic prospects are not as good as your luck and may even slow down progress you hoped to make. As fall approaches you may not be the shiniest penny in the piggy bank, so be very careful not to step the toes of those in influence during that time. Partnerships, especially with aggressive types or men, have karmic implications. Be careful they don’t try to play you for a fool. If you have a mutual interest or goal, by all means get together and go for it. You will gain much more with another than by going alone. Scorpio should expect luck in abundance in 2005 with Lucky Jupiter in your very personal solar 1st house. Jupiter is near a positive aspect with Uranus, which means you may experience some surprise growth or opportunity in areas related to children, creative efforts, love affairs or investments. The only caution I would give you is to stay away from investments involving the auto industry or any money making enterprise associated with your siblings. If your children are at an age to drive, you may unexpectedly have to spend money on their vehicle, or perhaps you will be able to buy yourself a new one. Get ready to ride a wave of luck in 2005. A love affair started this year will bring excitement and adventure into your life which has been sorely missing. In fact, this is such an excellent time for the Scorpion to fall in love, don’t be surprised if you want to make the arrangement permanent in a very speedy fashion. Those already in a relationship should be careful all their current charisma doesn’t cause their significant other to have a fit of jealous rage. Also possible are some tiffs over money. Even so, this year will bring renewed vigor to all close relationships. Expect the sparks to fly…in a good way. Watch your eating habits while Jupiter travels through your 1st house. You will be prone to gain weight this year. Health problems, if there are any will be caused by anything you or your body it doing to excess. Overeating and drinking should be avoided. These things can flare up unexpectedly, so preventative measures should be taken to avoid serious build up of toxins or impurities which might be present in your body. This includes negative thought patterns as they will eventually manifest in the physical realms. Finances as they relate to your career are not entirely favorable this year. Saturn sitting in your 10th house of status and career means you will have to work hard for everything you get. Pluto in your house of finances is better for recycling the old than for buying the new. It can however bring enhanced power, which can be a precursor of wealth. For those who have a stable career and work record, the status quo should be maintained. Your best opportunities lie in taking on mundane administrative tasks. If you family complains of your lack luster status, tell them that perhaps it is their less than glamorous presence which is holding you back. Your health is going to be directly impacted by the choices you make and the environment you are in. You will be drawn into situations involving your health, service people, small animals, and that which you do day to day which are necessary for your evolutionary growth. Selfishness is not an option. I am sorry to have to report that Lucky Jupiter is hiding in your 12th house this year. This is not entirely bad, because it does offer come cosmic protection against karmic evils. It could even be considered a good thing if you work for a charitable organization, hospital, or in an institutional setting. I also must mention though that Pluto is still hovering near enough to your solar Sun to provide a continuation to last years conundrums. It is moving away, and perhaps will bring some sense of power into your personal sphere, or even putting you in the right place at the right time to meet some influential people. Love and money are intertwined this year and you may feel that the lack thereof is keeping you either from finding, or keeping your one true love happy. There will be discussions over values which may be entertaining, to say the least. If you are looking for love, go out with your neighbors or siblings, be spontaneous, join a group with some of the same interests and values as you have and desire to find in a mate. You might also keep your eyes open when you are out and about at the grocery store or park nearest your home: Love could find you quite unexpectedly. Be careful not to misuse your energy, or spend it on people who are encouraging you to be self destructive. You may spread yourself too thin and find you just don’t have the stamina to do all the things required of you. Long distance travel, higher education and activities with your church may also cause a strain on your energy levels. Pace yourself and do not allow yourself to be worn down by all your perceived obligations. Your financial picture looks rosy to others from the outside, however, as always, you are just making it look easy by using your talents wisely. Much hard work is going on behind the scenes, and as long as you are able to keep up your current pace you will be fine. Part of your situation may involve your going to school to enhance your financial earning power in the future. Earning potentials this year lie in more mundane or plebeian enterprises, or via connections you have always been able to rely upon in the past. Luck will come by increasing your status and expanding your career. Following up with people who you have done business with in the past would be a good use of your energy. If things are expanding too rapidly, you may need to cut back and rethink your next move before you or your product loses its integrity. Involve others in all planning processes and explore different options and philosophies to find the best route to success. You have the potential for cashing in on rewards due to past karma right now, so even if one door closes, expect a window to fly open and rescue you. You should be on the receiving end of an abundance of compliments, or some kind of enhancement to your appearance this year. 2005 would be a great time to have some cosmetic work done. A secret love affair may publicly call into question your values or perhaps this involves your knowledge of such a thing betwixt two co-workers…maybe even your spouse if they are spending more time at work than at home. If you and your true love are forced to live on separate shore, the travel may get to be too much this year and one of you will want to relocate, or toss out the ultimatum for the other to do so. Health news is good for the Goat in 2005. If you experience problems they will have to do with the areas of the body for which there are two…like your eyes, ears, lungs, etc. However, Venus is acting as a protector for you, helping keep ill health at bay. Woman may be at more risk than men, so be sure and get your annual physical exams and if you are having problems with your ovaries, be attuned to any symptoms your body may give you in this area. Making money will come easily if you use your God given talents this year. Artistic projects, including those involving the written word, are favored. Modeling, luxury travel, style products and teaching, or sales (including real estate) which involve female buyers are some of the many areas to focus your money making abilities. Real estate investments are beckoning to you on a karmic level. Buying a home would be a sound investment and open up many opportunities for your family. Your family is the main focus of your evolutionary growth this year and even fighting with them will open you up to receive messages from God. 2005 Overview Aquarius Your luck is tied to things from your past, as well as the philosophies you espouse and the travels you take. You may receive a gift which allows you to reach a much desired goal. Be careful though that you do not deceive yourself or others or that you overstate your abilities. Either of these things will lead to a downfall of epic purport ions. Being true to yourself will bring you the most luck. Words of love are swirling around in your world right now, or they ought to be. If they are not you may be feeling disillusioned. Dream vacations, opportunities for learning, are abundant. You may be swept up into a glamorous romance complete with love poems and dreamy walks on a beach. There are many opportunities to find love, perhaps too many. Be careful of bestowing love on someone before you know if they are truly worthy. You are prone to chronic ailments, perhaps brought on by a trip to a foreign clime, or via anything associated with your bones, teeth, and skin. If you ignore your symptoms at this time, they could cause a health situation which is detrimental to your career or education. Try to maintain a stable spiritual balance…meditate, practice yoga, have a daily fitness routine and a time to revitalize your energies, which may seem to slip away from you this year at the most inopportune times. Your finances may seem to disappear before your eyes. Either money will appear from seemingly no where, or disappear with just as great alacrity. You can use your smooth style to make money. Just be careful not to become too smooth, bordering on schmoozy and sleazy. Don’t associate with these types of people either because their negative characteristics will eventually rub off on you. Community involvement or joining together with cousins and siblings are blessed for you this year. You will feel more energized if you hang out at sporting events, or the local gym. It wouldn’t hurt to join a gym this year either. The exercise will allow you to see things more clearly and make better decisions. Lucky Jupiter will be in your solar 8th house during 2005. The 8th house rules other people’s money, sex, insurance, inheritances, death and in some cases power. Jupiter here means you will be expanding or experiencing growth in these areas. Jupiter is a protective in nature when taken alone. However this year the south node will also be near the degree of Jupiter, causing a coupling of their energies. The south node can be protective, in that it allows you to have a “fall back position” so to speak. It can also bring endings, and things which are self destructive in influence. Taken together, this might be a good year to review your will, or up your insurance policies to protect your children should something happen to you. Commitment is encouraged by the stars this year. You are apt of get many opportunities to go out and have some fun on the dating scene. Asking someone older for a date is in the cards, or someone older will be attracted and pursue you. Long term uncommitted relationships may be pushed to tie the knot. Regardless, potential mates will find you very attractive and maybe even glamorous. You may be tempted to ignore your health, and believe the subtle clues your body is sending you are nothing to be concerned about…and maybe they really aren’t serious, with Venus bringing you protection this year. However, Venus also rules the kidneys, throat, thyroid, ovaries… and the desire to take the easy way out. If you sense your body is not functioning up to par, by all means visit your health care professional for a thorough exam. The best way for you to make money this year is through increased power at work, or by using your innate talents, especially if they involve sales or the written word. You will want to call the shots in reference to your finances, so be careful not to be too pushy with your partners regarding spending. Your value system and how you earn money will be under fire. If you are running your live with integrity, you probably need to be even more aggressive and forthright about your values with co-workers, or employees in order to be a good role model for them. If you are teetering on being less than noble in your undertakings, or are relying on others for your livelihood, Jupiter will offer an element of protection from harm, but being a noble sign, you cannot count on this kind of luck forever. Inheritance is a possibility, as is payout from an insurance policy which will be of a karmic nature.  | Return Home | Astrology Articles | Aries | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo | Libra | Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces | 2005 Overviews | |
