2010 PROSPECTS FOR CAPRICORN

2010 SUMMARY
Finish all routine tasks and commitments by June and give yourself plenty of time for getting out and about and travelling the world.

THE YEAR AHEAD
The year begins well. You are tenaciously loyal to friends and loved ones unless they are foolish enough to cross you, in which case they have made an implacable enemy who never forgets the injury done to them. Venus, lady of love, aligns with your chart in July, bringing excellent romantic stars – and fine prospects for travel. Go for stimulation rather than basking in the sun. Summer brings the chance to complete tasks left unfinished some time ago, such as telling someone how you feel about them. You need to mix with a different type of person after November and, as the year draws to a close, you will develop the higher side of your being.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
The planets will be sending other people to challenge you, it’s true, and on all fronts, but don’t fight back blindly. Instead, listen to what they have to say about you and try to remedy any shortcomings which you realise may be true. September should be an invigorating month for you, socially, creatively and romantically. That energetic planet Mars puts you in top gear for business projects. Perhaps you should team up with someone so that you have a sparring partner to bounce your ideas off. Developments will be especially lively after September.

KEY DATE: April and May find a social debt paid in full, to your great happiness.

CAREER AND MONEY
It’s all a matter of attitude. We can forecast pretty firmly that you will enjoy yourself, meet new people and feel much more energetic thanks to optimistic Jupiter’s expansive location. However, complacency could be your downfall. Therefore you need one very big word of advice – please double-check all instructions and directions before leaving home. And when you have checked them once, do it again. You’re so impatient that you’re likely to overlook vital details. Financially, things are looking up in May and June. Venus, planet of prosperity, is in a sign which shares your general attitudes so you can rely on the world being a friendly place.

HOME AND FAMILY
Your home should be a soft and safe place which induces a mood of quiet complacency. However, it’s more likely that family members and people you live with will be arousing your passions and stirring up your anger, especially in April, May or June. The net result is that you may be stuck in a typically emotional dilemma, on the one hand feeling that now is the time to break free, yet on the other all too aware of the difficulty of shifting some of your emotional ties. The stars’ best advice to you is to enjoy yourself and appreciate all the wonderful things in your life – and keep the rest in perspective.

BE CAUTIOUS
Be sure not to alienate friends with a display of petulance in October.

TIP FOR THE YEAR
More comfort, more luxury, more space. That’s what you need!

2010 PROSPECTS FOR AQUARIUS

2010 SUMMARY
You’re heading for world conquest but you will only succeed if you have the maximum levels of self-discipline and determination.

THE YEAR AHEAD
It looks as if you may be thinking about taking a break from work. And why not, after all that’s been happening? But please judge carefully whether now is the right time. Think clearly about money, or you may be in for a financial crisis. If you are travelling after August, do take care to check all arrangements, or else you may come unstuck. Punctuality is critically important. December draws to a close with pleasant planets aligned with your professional house, indicating that you are going to end the year as you began it, very much pre-occupied with career matters and your status within the community. Do give yourself a break and get involved in as many festivities as possible.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
This is a time of mystery and dreams, a period when you’re asking who am I and where am I going and, more importantly, who with? And, when nothing is clear, be prepared to sit back and enjoy the ride. Venus, planet of love, changes signs repeatedly, bringing indications of a discreet romance and, in July, it ushers into the open – so be sure to have a convincing story ready! Even though your celestial patterns in the last half of the year are pleasant, it won’t be all plain sailing. The most remarkable astrological configurations are never the easiest, and at the time it may appears that nothing very much is happening – it is only when you look back at times like this that you realise how extraordinary they are.

KEY DATE: December is a make-or-break month. With skilful handling you will transform your life for the better.

CAREER AND MONEY
Your mood is dominated by wise and witty Mercury, which is due to take up residence in friendly and supportive sectors of your chart. This is all to the good and should help maintain a sense of equilibrium and a feeling that life is basically on the right track. However, in May and June, it may be a matter of one step forward, two steps back and all affairs, both personal and professional, are likely to meet delays. Please accept it as normal if colleagues seem to change their minds, employers cancel arrangements or financial ventures appear to run into the ground. It will all work out just fine in the end!

HOME AND FAMILY
Significant dates flow thick and fast in January, welcoming you to the new year with a bang rather than a whimper. The time for action is now – but the best approach one day may not be the same as on the next. The key to success is therefore flexibility in the extreme – and a devout willingness to compromise. By June and July it will be clear that without extra funds there is no way that you can live the adventurous social life that is really so necessary. A younger relation could increasingly be a potent influence in your life, but one which needs to be watched with caution.

BE CAUTIOUS
Watch out for emotional and professional complications in October. Try to keep your affairs as simple as possible.

TIP FOR THE YEAR
Refresh your energy in October.
