			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How will the upcoming Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron conjunction affect our relationships?</p>
<p>One of the significant astrological events in the year 2009 is a recurring Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, representing one of the major themes of the year. It first occurs on May 27th, and then again July 10 and December 21.</p>
<p>Chiron is closely involved with the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction on May 27th. Although not quite exact, it&#8217;s certainly close enough. In fact, both Neptune and Chiron at virtually the same degree of Aquarius turn retrograde at almost the same time&#8211;on May 29 and 30. Chiron will also be very close to Jupiter and Neptune on the next conjunction day, July 10th.</p>
<p>While this transit affects all of us, for some, it triggers romantic and relationship hotspots in the natal chart. If your Venus or Moon occupy any of the following points, the Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune transit will be in hard aspect to these points this year:</p>
<ul>
<li>23-29 degrees Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio</li>
<li>and, to a lesser degree, 8-14 Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn</li>
</ul>
<p>Because we are dealing with outer planets that move relatively slowly, this transit can be viewed as &#8220;in effect&#8221; from now until the end of the year. The dates listed above should be seen as guideposts&#8211;in other words, don&#8217;t expect events to occur exactly on those dates. We can think of this transit as a theme for the next nine months or so.</p>
<p>Some of the themes I am about to discuss will occur for those whose Sun (probably more so for women) occupies the above positions, and also for those who will have Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron transiting their relationship houses (5th and 7th).</p>
<p>Themes of trust, forgiveness, and sacrifice are coming to the fore now in your close relationships.</p>
<p>The desire for an ideal relationship or partner can be all-consuming now. It&#8217;s important to note that this need or desire is at the root of relationship problems that might arise, because it may not be very clear that this is the case at the beginning of the transit. Adjusting our expectations can really help, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to be easy.</p>
<p>Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius is an immensely spiritual, idealistic combination. It can inspire great hope in our hearts, as well as perhaps impossible or inhuman expectations. Our desires for more on a spiritual level, to be the best that we can be, to help others and love as unconditionally as we can&#8230;all of these things are stimulated in a big way.</p>
<p>The main problem here is that we can completely overestimate what we, as mere mortals, are capable of, and what our partners or potential partners are capable of. Complete forgiveness, faith, and trust are wonderful ideals, but we fall short of them as hard as we may try. This year, many of us will dream that we can love others unconditionally, and that others can return that same kind of love.</p>
<p>For those of you whose romantic and emotional hotspots are triggered by this conjunction, the need to take care of yourself first and foremost is important now. Think of the safety speech we receive from airline stewardesses at the beginning of a flight. We are always told to put on the oxygen masks and life jackets ourselves before helping others to do the same. Itâ€™s not selfishâ€”itâ€™s practical. We cannot help save others without first making sure we are capable of doing so. If we can&#8217;t save ourselves, how can we be of any use to others?</p>
<p>Because of the potential for inflated optimism, we need to watch for taking foolish risks and for leaving ourselves vulnerable to disappointment. We should also watch for unknowingly (or in some cases, knowingly) deceiving others. High on what we think we are capable of, we might unintentionally mislead current or new partners.</p>
<p>We might be inclined to give too much of ourselves or of our resources in our partnerships, perhaps expecting to be appreciated for doing so, thereby setting ourselves up for disappointment. A &#8220;foolish risk&#8221; can be hard to define when it comes to relationships, of course, but an obvious example would be to give a new partner with a gambling problem a whole lot of money in an attempt to help him/her out of a jam.</p>
<p>The tendency to play savior can be strong now. An example scenario that we should watch for might be getting caught up in a very complicated relationship in which we need to make serious sacrifices for a partner. Perhaps the person is in a troubled marriage, is struggling with an addiction, is in love with someone else. We might also play victim and look for someone to save us. Problems in an existing partnership may seem glaring now, and we dream of a much better, more ideal setup, and we could subconsciously look for a new romantic interest to &#8220;save&#8221; us.</p>
<div id="attachment_529" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-529" title="shutterstock_10359861" src="http://cafeastrology.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/shutterstock_10359861-150x150.jpg" alt="Rose-colored glasses" width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rose-colored glasses</p></div>
<p>Complicated relationships might be more attractive to us now&#8211;ones in which there is a big imbalance. Remember that we are inclined to want to love unconditionally, which is not a bad thing if we work on doing so in a slow and steady manner, with realistic expectations. However, there is nothing realistic or moderate about this Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron configuration! Saturn and Pluto in earth signs could help. Earth signs and a prominent Saturn in our own natal charts could also help. But it&#8217;s important to be aware of the inclination to go over the top, to expect far too much of ourselves and of others. We might need to frequently stop and ask ourselves if our faith is misplaced. We might need to take off the rose-colored glasses from time to time just to be sure we are doing what&#8217;s best for us. If the desire to make big sacrifices for someone is strong now, be sure that you are doing it without expectation of reward, even if that reward is merely appreciation. If you recognize your (very human, by the way) need to be appreciated for all of your efforts and sacrifices, then also recognize that you are taking a risk. If you are not prepared to take that kind of risk, then insist a partner meets you halfway.</p>
<p>Our ability to trust our partners comes to the fore with this transit. Our ability to love someone unconditionally is a theme. Our own lovability, or how we perceive it, comes into play with this transit, particularly with Chiron involved. Remember that Chiron in mythology had extraordinary powers to heal others, but couldn&#8217;t heal himself. So, we should be prepared to deal with issues of our own self-esteem and how it affects our love relationships, and to deal with them in a big way.</p>
<p>Some of us will be meeting people onto whom we might project all of our lofty hopes and visions of an ideal partner. In other words, we might meet someone new and see (or embellish) qualities that we very much want to see in a partner, failing to see the very human flaws.</p>
<p>Thus, for any new relationship that is formed under this transit, it&#8217;s important to allow it to withstand the test of time (or at least the duration of this transit) before making life-changing decisions, such as marriage or leaving a current partner.</p>
<p>For those affected by the transit who are already &#8220;coupled&#8221;, a tendency to play peacemaker with a partner is strong now.Â  You have to check and double-check whether a person is meeting you halfway. Playing the savior or the victim is very tempting now. A strategy to avoid the possibility of eventual disillusionment and disappointment is to make sure that your partner is truly as &#8220;into&#8221; this relationship as you are.</p>
<p>People who are deceived by a partner rarely <em>never</em> receive any clues to his or her deceptive behavior along the way. The tendency to gloss over these clues is with us, and should be watched for.</p>
<p>An awareness of negative patterns in relationships from the past can come now, or can be stimulated by events that occur in our relationships this year. Itâ€™s time to stop repeating them.</p>
<p>For existing relationships, it&#8217;s a little difficult to generalize about what this transit will mean without background on the current relationship dynamics. However, I can definitely say that for partnerships in which there is a history of jealousy or other big &#8220;trust&#8221; issues, giving freedom and treating others with respect and trust will be major themes now.</p>
<p>For example, a client who has dealt with her partner&#8217;s infidelity a few years ago is revisiting that whole matter big time right now. It&#8217;s Venus retrograde, so that can be part of it. But I am guessing this transit to her natal Venus is going to be a potent one. She is now struggling with the need to give her partner freedom. She stayed with her husband after discovering his unfaithfulness, but has dealt with it by watching his every move since. He let this happen so that she could learn to trust him again, but it got to the point where he feels completely stifled and she feels that she&#8217;s caught up in a very bad addiction (to trailing his every move). She isn&#8217;t happy, he isn&#8217;t happy. Now she&#8217;s decided that she is quitting the whole &#8220;stalking thing&#8221; cold turkey. What will come of this? It&#8217;s hard to say. Perhaps she will succeed at forgiving him. On the other hand, she might also come to a realization that she just can&#8217;t forgive him. Whatever the case may be, she has come up with very big (Jupiter) plans to heal (Chiron) and forgive (Neptune).</p>
<p>Another potential theme is a sudden and strong desire to treat a lover as a friend, or to be treated the same way. It&#8217;s hard to do, let&#8217;s face it. Being a lover and a friend (with the same person) is not always easy to maintain. There might be a lot of people entering into open relationships, or changing their current traditional relationships into open ones, or deciding on entertaining threesomes for example, during this transit. It works for some, but not everyone. Others might decide to enter &#8220;friends with benefits&#8221; style relationships, even if they have never had the inclination or were previously completely opposed to this kind of &#8220;detached attachment&#8221; with a sexual partner. Under the influence of this Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron in humanitarian Aquarius transit, we might <em>think</em> we are able toÂ  manage these types of relationships. The important thing to remember is that this transit is bound to give us inflated ideas of what we are capable of handling. Not everyone is capable of Aquarian-style brotherly love with a romantic partner. You might want to wait until the transit passes to find out if you are still wanting to experiment with alternative partnership arrangements.</p>
<p>For those of you whose Venus and Moon are harmonizing with the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron conjunction, you are likely to encounter many of the themes explored above, but in a less dramatic and problematic manner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Three outer planets have recently changed signs or are changing signs in 2009, and these changes affect our attitude towards love, partnering, and relating.</p>
<p>Pluto entered Capricorn last year, but dipped back into Sagittarius and then entered Capricorn again. This year, Pluto is solidly in Capricorn and will stay in the sign until 2023. It&#8217;s still early for major shifts in attitudes, but we&#8217;re going to be seeing some interesting trends. We&#8217;ll be accepting more responsibility for our actions&#8211;and our passions. We&#8217;ll be experiencing a shift towards the traditional in all sorts of life &#8220;departments&#8221;, including fashion and style (more professional, perhaps preppy, conservative, and minimalistic styles as opposed to the hippie revival of recent years) for example.</p>
<p>In terms of love and relating, we&#8217;ve been caught up in a very experimental, haphazard and rather wanton approach in recent years. We&#8217;ve seen a huge spike in promiscuity, &#8220;f-friend&#8221; relationships, infidelity, breakups, and so forth. Many will say it&#8217;s due to the ability to connect, largely anonymously (at first), with more people from the comfort of one&#8217;s home via the Internet. It&#8217;s become enormously easy to hook up with others for casual affairs. Relating has become so much more competitive in nature, breeding insecurity and, for many, a sense of faithlessness and lack of confidence in the couple. Over the coming years, I believe there will be a shift towards more conservative partnering, taking more responsibility for ourselves and our partners, and valuing longterm relationships. Capricorn is a mature, goal-oriented, deliberate, and very &#8220;prepared&#8221; energy. Preparing for the future and practical concerns are especially important to Capricorn. We might view an accomplished, mature, and reliable partner as most valuable during this trend. Capricorn is also rather reserved with expressing feelings, at least until trust is gained/earned.</p>
<p>Just as Pluto takes a long time to move through a sign, trends associated with its cycle take time to unfold. A more immediate energy is Jupiter&#8217;s recent ingress into the sign of Aquarius. Jupiter changes signs approximately yearly. Recently, Jupiter has been changing signs pretty close to the New Year, making it a little easier to write yearly horoscopes (ha!). So, Jupiter in Aquarius pretty much helps define 2009.</p>
<p>In terms of love relationships and partnering, Jupiter in Aquarius energy is fair-minded, cooperative, impartial, and impersonal. We value freedom of choice, individuality, fellowship, and friendship. So, while Pluto is working to transform our values in the long term, Jupiter has a more immediate effect on our value system, and in 2009, our attitude towards partnering is likely going to be less than traditional.</p>
<p>Saturn will move into the one-to-one partnership or &#8220;marriage&#8221; sign of Libra at the end of October, and that&#8217;s when we&#8217;ll see the Pluto in Capricorn energy described above a little more readily. Saturn will bring maturity (ideally) and responsibility to our attitudes toward partnering, although it&#8217;s bound to be challenging in the early months of this sign change. It&#8217;s always challenging in the beginning stages of a planet&#8217;s trek through a sign, but this one perhaps especially so, because it starts with a bang in the form of Saturn square to Pluto. Attitudes toward close personal relationships will be scrutinized and tested. Saturn stays in a sign for approximately 2-1/2 years.</p>
<p>Then there&#8217;s the Saturn-Uranus opposition active much of the year. It&#8217;s a case of pitting freedom against responsibility, and really, when you think of it, it&#8217;s much like the Capricorn-Aquarius energy of the year, except with an opposition, it&#8217;s more an &#8220;in your face&#8221; influence&#8211;very hard to ignore! So, it looks like 2009 will bring a lot of changes into our love lives, and probably quite a few challenges as we struggle with what we think we should do. Although Saturn and Uranus are both very different energies, neither of them make it easy to get in touch with what&#8217;s in our hearts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Pisces<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Pisces</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Pisces Horoscope" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/pisceshoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="146" height="196" />Pisceans have been encountering challenges in primary relationships recently, and this trend does continue in 2009, but is especially noticeable for those born March 10-17. With Uranus in Pisces for many years and continuing in 2009, Pisces have become more independent in general. They have insisted on equality in their partnerships, and this is likely quite surprising to a partner! Pisces are known for their selflessness and acceptance, so the electric Uranian energy in your life recently, dear Pisces, has thrown a few people you know for a loop. Don&#8217;t worry, the important people will adjust and accommodate your new need for self-expression. Just try to avoid making unnecessary sweeping changes, and try to discern between rebellious behavior and fair behavior. For Pisces born March 13-17, this is an all-new energy for you, although you have likely felt it &#8220;in the works&#8221; for some time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A Saturn opposition to your Sun continues to present roadblocks and challenges this year until Saturn officially leaves your opposite sign, Virgo, on October 29th. A partner or primary relationship is likely involved, and you continue to experience freedom versus responsibility issues with a close partner until then. When Saturn&#8217;s energy leaves you, Uranus stays for a while longer, so I feel that Pisces will continue to assert themselves and their individuality beyond the period of opposition with a partner. Some relationships won&#8217;t survive the tension, particularly if they are holding you back from being yourself. For others, a partner is likely to accept the changes in you and stay, but the relationship is not quite the same&#8211;ideally it&#8217;s very much improved and accommodates your needs much better than it did before.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Those born early in the sign of Pisces (February 19-23) are experiencing an eye-opening harmonious transit from Pluto in 2009. Group work and friendships are very positive and transforming for you this year, and you could find many opportunities to heal and empower yourself through them. Your friendships and possibly group associations are likely to deepen, and you feel more &#8220;alive&#8221; and vital as a result. You are likely taking more creative risks this year in an effort to pursue dreams that suit your deepest needs. You are becoming more self-assured, and love relationships can benefit as a result.</p>
<p>Those also born early in the sign of Pisces are likely to encounter some challenges in the last two months of the year in their intimate relations. The influence of Saturn in your eighth sector can point to some difficulties satisfying the libido and/or problems with intimacy. Changes in your friendships as noted above could become the source of difficulties in an intimate relationship starting in November, and will likely be resolved in mid-2010.</p>
<p>Because Mercury rules your partnership sector, its retrograde periods are significant to you and your love relationships. You could find relationships are sluggish, challenging, or even moving &#8220;backwards&#8221; during these periods. They occur from January 11-February 1, May 7-30, September 7-29, and December 26/09-January 15/10. From September 18-29 in particular, while Mercury is retrograde in your partnership sector, you should be cautious about making sweeping decisions, and should avoid serious conversations. The likelihood of misunderstanding a partner runs high. If a partner is distant during these periods, give him/her some space and don&#8217;t pressure.</p>
<p>The Venus retrograde from March 6-April 17 affects everyone in general, mainly in the areas of love and finances, but its sign position doesn&#8217;t impact your love life directly, except for those born very late in Pisces.</p>
<p>Eclipses this year affect your more casual love relationships. A Solar Eclipse in your romance sector occurs on July 21, and then a Lunar Eclipse occurs in the same sector on the very last day of the year, December 31. In July, circumstances and events call for a new beginning or fresh start on a romantic level. You will be learning to take risks, and to develop the courage to strike out on your own individual and creative path without fear. You are learning to deal with lovers in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect, which detaches you from your feelings. The lunar eclipse on December 31can bring tests and challenges to a casual love affair.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Arguably the spiciest period for your love life in 2009 occurs from September 29-October 14, when both Venus and Mars, the planets of love and sex, are traveling through your romance and partnership sectors. Your charm is super and romance fairly sizzles. Love is pleasurable and exciting at once.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A short but exciting period occurs from April 18-22 when Venus and Mars join in your sign. Many of you will be enjoying a new or renewed romance during this window.</p>
<p>Jupiter in your spirituality sector this year suggests a feeling of being spiritually protected and confident.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros, the god of erotic love, is direct and in your sign from May 8-July 19 and November 8-forward. Your powers of attraction run very high during these cycles, but more in terms of you <em>going after</em> what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual. An impassioned attitude in general is with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">January 3-February 3 is a period in which you are especially charming and pleasant to be around. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>. This energy returns briefly from April 18-22, when it&#8217;s a little more potent and dynamic.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 6-April 17 is the Venus retrograde period. Don&#8217;t make any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle, particularly from April 11-17. Review and reflect on your love life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 15-April 22 is a strong period for going after exactly what (or who) you want. It&#8217;s a high energy period. You&#8217;re oozing sexuality now, and others are most turned on by your leadership qualities. April 17-22 is a stellar period for sexuality and romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">August 1-25 is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">August 25-October 16 is a time when your powers of attraction run high, but this time it&#8217;s particularly true when you are taking on a more <em>assertive and outgoing role</em>. Romance picks up pace. Although it&#8217;s a strong period overall, from September 18-29 a partnership could feel &#8220;iffy&#8221; temporarily. September 29-October 14 is particularly exciting and stimulating for love matters. A partnership is warm, loving, and especially pleasurable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Aquarius<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Aquarius</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Aquarius Horoscope" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/aquariushoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />This is your year, dear Aquarius. You are presenting a more generous, jolly, and pleasant &#8220;you&#8221; in 2009 that&#8217;s sure to win you some positive attention. Neptune in your sign continues to add an air of intrigue and mystery to your aura, and Jupiter now in Aquarius as well endows you with a likable, open, and happier manner that will invariably boost your appeal.</p>
<p>Saturn continues to transit your intimacy sector until the end of October 2009. This influence can point to some difficulties satisfying the libido and/or problems with intimacy. Saturn opposing Uranus can point to problems handling money, and conflicts about all things shared in a partnership. Some of you may be dealing with arguments with a partner (or ex) over money and/or sexuality and concepts of &#8220;ownership&#8221;. Saturn&#8217;s move out of this sector at the end of October suggests resolve of these matters, and many of you will be breathing a sigh of relief. Some of you will enjoy a nice feeling of freedom, sexually speaking.</p>
<p>Because Mercury rules your romance and intimacy sectors, its retrograde periods are significant to you. You could find relationships are sluggish, challenging, or even moving &#8220;backwards&#8221; during these periods. They occur from January 11-February 1, May 7-30, September 7-29, and December 26/09-January 15/10. From January 11-21 in particular, while Mercury is retrograde in your own sign, you should be cautious about making sweeping decisions, and should avoid serious conversations. The likelihood of being misunderstood runs high. If a lover is distant during these periods, give him/her some space and don&#8217;t pressure.</p>
<p>The Venus retrograde from March 6-April 17 affects everyone in general, mainly in the areas of love and finances, but its sign position doesn&#8217;t impact your love life directly.</p>
<p>Eclipses this year affect you personally. A Solar Eclipse in your sign occurs on January 26, and then a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your partnership sector on February 9th. You will be dealing with issues surrounding independence versus dependence. Partnerships may be tested, but there is nothing to fear if the relationship is strong. The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship&#8211;a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It&#8217;s time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of a significant other. It&#8217;s time to compromise and negotiate.</p>
<p>A Lunar Eclipse occurs in your own sign on August 6th, signaling that it&#8217;s time to change your image or redefine your personality in some manner. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this eclipse is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is &#8220;tested&#8221; right now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Perhaps the spiciest moments for your love life in 2009 occur from July 12-August 1, when both Venus and Mars, the planets of love and sex, are traveling through your romance sector. Your charm is super and romance fairly sizzles. Partnered Aquarians will also be having a good time&#8211;it&#8217;s a fabulous opportunity period for scheduling a romantic getaway.</p>
<p>Jupiter conjunct Neptune in your own sign this year can bring some wonderful experiences of synchronicity into your life. Your feelings, ideals, and beliefs expand, and you have the strong desire to make everyday life more magical. A positive attitude will bring positive circumstances into your life, as long as they are kept realistic. Otherwise, you could be feeling discontent. Try not to take unnecessary risks or gambles. Your heart is very open this year. Protect it with realistic expectations and you&#8217;ll have a grand ol&#8217; time!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros, the god of erotic love, is direct and in your sign from March 9-May 8 and October 17-November 8. Your powers of attraction run very high during these cycles, but more in terms of you <em>going after</em> what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual. An impassioned attitude in general is with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As mentioned above, from July 12-August 1, both Venus and Mars are in your romance sector, heating up a love affair. Some Aquarians will meet a new lover during this period. Those already involved in a love affair will find this Venus-Mars period is a good one for spicing up a current romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From January 11-21, others can easily misunderstand you, so choose your words carefully.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">February 4-March 14 is a strong period for going after exactly what you want. It&#8217;s a high energy period. You&#8217;re oozing sexuality now, and others are most turned on by your leadership qualities. March 8-14 is a stellar period for sexual matters.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 6-April 17 is the Venus retrograde period. Don&#8217;t make any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle. Review and reflect on your love life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">July 5-August 1 is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, July 12-August 25 is a time when your powers of attraction run high, particularly when you are taking on a more assertive and outgoing role. Romance picks up pace. The overlap of July 12-August 1 is especially active and pleasant for love affairs.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From August 26-September 20, a partnership is warm, loving, and especially pleasurable.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">October 16 to the end of 2009 is a period of fireworks for partnerships&#8211;sometimes stimulating, but for some it could be like open warfare! When Mars is retrograde in your partnership sector from December20/09 to March 10/10, a partner could be rethinking matters, and could be distant or hard to understand. Let things be, give your partner space, and be patient.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Capricorn<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Capricorn</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Capricorn Horoscope" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/capricornhoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />Capricorns will be seeing big changes in their lives in general in 2009. With eclipses affecting your partnership sector in July, some changes are likely, but overall we don&#8217;t expect to see sweeping relationship status changes for Capricorns in 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Perhaps the spiciest moments for your love life this year occur from June 6-July 5, when both Venus and Mars, the planets of love and sex, are traveling through your romance sector. Your charm is super and romance fairly sizzles. Partnered Capricorns will also be having a good time&#8211;it&#8217;s a fabulous opportunity period for scheduling a romantic getaway.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 11, you will have to be patient and sensitive when it comes to a lover and love relationship. This is a time when you could be rethinking a love affair, or a partner is. Sometimes, it indicates a turning to the past&#8211;a past love might reappear, for example.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There are 4 Mercury retrogrades in 2009, and 3 of them impact you and your love life directly. From January 22-February 1, and then from December 26/2009-January 15/2010, Mercury retrograde in your sign suggests some recoiling, rethinking, and revising on your part. During these periods, others might find you distant. Be careful not to miscommunicate your intentions, but do take time to rethink your plans. From May 13-31, a lover could be distant and less communicative, or a love affair could slow down. Give a lover some space and time to think.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In July, a Solar Eclipse in your partnership sector alerts you to the need to interact with others&#8211;either the public, or through a close partnership. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into focus. This eclipse should give you a push towards a stronger identity or sense of purposefulness through close partnership. Also in July, a Lunar Eclipse occurs in your own sign, signaling that it&#8217;s time to change your image or redefine your personality in some manner. Finding a balance between autonomy and dependence is what this eclipse is about for you. Your emotions are on your sleeve. It is a good time to put your needs first, but doing so with respect for others will take you further. Whether you can succeed as a leader is &#8220;tested&#8221; right now. So, July looks to be a month of changes in yourself and a partner.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">November can bring some challenges on the career front, likely revolving around issues of control and power. While this doesn&#8217;t directly impact relationships, a partner may have to be patient with you as you sort this all out.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Capricorns born early in the sign (from December 21-26) will be encountering some challenges in the last two months of the year, in the form of roadblocks and tests.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros, the god of erotic love, is in your sign from January 17-March 9. Your powers of attraction run very high now, but more in terms of you <em>going after</em> what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual during this cycle. An impassioned attitude in general is with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As mentioned above, from June 6-July 5, both Venus and Mars are in your romance sector, heating up a love affair. Some Capricorns will meet a new lover during this period. Those already involved in a love affair will find this Venus-Mars period is a good one for spicing up a current romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">January 1-February 4 is a strong period for going after exactly what you want. It&#8217;s a high energy period, although January 22-February 1 is a period during which you should use caution with moving your plans forward.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 6-April 17 is the Venus retrograde period. Because Venus rules your romance sector, you might find love affairs are stagnant or even seem to be moving backwards. A lover could seem distant. Lay low, review, and think about how to improve relationships, but don&#8217;t make any major decisions during this cycle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the days surrounding April 21, a love opportunity arrives in your neighborhood or through school, email, and other forms of communication&#8211;grab it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">June 6-July 5 is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, May 31-July 12 is a time when your powers of attraction run high, particularly when you are taking on a more assertive and outgoing role.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From August 1-25, a partnership is warm, loving, and especially pleasurable.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">August 25-October 16, however, is a period of fireworks for partnerships&#8211;sometimes stimulating, but for some it could be like open warfare!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from December 25. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Sagittarius<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Sagittarius</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Sagittarius Horoscope: Love" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/sagittariushoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />2009 brings pleasing social interactions, plenty of opportunities to learn and improve your skills, and a changing attitude towards money and income for you, dear Sagittarius. Relationships tend to be status quo for you for the most part this year. In other words, we don&#8217;t expect major breakups or major new beginnings either.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Because Mercury rules your partnership sector, Mercury retrograde periods tend to be important for you in terms of major relationships. During these cycles, relationships may seem to be stalled or even going backwards, and a partner might seem a little distant. There are four such Mercury retrograde cycles this year instead of the usual three: January 11-February 1, May 7-30, September 7-29, and December 26-Jan 15/2010.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Another retrograde affects your love life as well in 2009, and this time more on the lines of your casual love affairs. This happens when Venus is retrograde in your romance sector, from March 6-April 11. This is a time when you could be rethinking a love affair, or a partner is. Sometimes, it indicates a turning to the past&#8211;a past love might reappear, for example.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yet another retrograde, this time Mars and towards the end of the year, impacts your romance, from December 20th and into 2010. Mars rules your romance sector, so again you may be feeling like you are backtracking.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All in all, as you can see, the year will have its fair share of backtracking, review, and rethinking in the love arena for you. Romance really moves ahead, however, from April 24-May 31. This is a power period for your love life. If involved in a committed partnership, this may not be quite as grand while Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. However, most of you will be having a blast. Both Venus and Mars in your romance sector keeps things very exciting, sexual, and stimulating.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Towards the end of the year, and particularly for Sagittarians born early in the sign (from November 22-27), friendships begin to go through some tests. This &#8220;clean up&#8221; is only beginning and will continue for a couple of years. It&#8217;s designed to weed out the superficial friendships and to strengthen those that truly matter.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You begin the year with Eros, the god of erotic love, in your sign. This runs until January 17. Your powers of attraction run very high now, but more in terms of you going after what you want than waiting for things to come to you. Sexual activity may be more frequent than usual during this cycle. An impassioned attitude in general is with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As mentioned above, from April 24-May 31, both Venus and Mars are in your romance sector, heating up a love affair. Some Sagittarians will meet a person during this period. Those already involved in a love affair will find this Venus-Mars period is a good one for spicing up a current romance.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">February 3-March 5 is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 6-April 17 is the Venus retrograde period. Because Venus is in your romance sector while retrograde from March 6-April 11, you might find love affairs are stagnant or even seem to be moving backwards. A lover could seem distant. Lay low, review, and think about how to improve relationships, but don&#8217;t make any major decisions during this cycle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">April 24-June 6 is another playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it. Love moves forward again, and particularly so from April 24-May 31.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In fact, April 22-May 31 is a time when your powers of attraction run high, particularly when you are taking on a more assertive and outgoing role.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the days surrounding April 21, a love opportunity arrives close to home&#8211;grab it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">July 12-August 25 is a period of fireworks for partnerships&#8211;sometimes stimulating, but for some it could be like open warfare! It&#8217;s more pleasant while Venus is also in your partnership sector, from July 5-August 1st. In fact, it&#8217;s an amazing period for partnering, perhaps the best all year. Get ready to really spice up a close relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from December 1-25. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From December 20, 2009 and into March 2010, your romance sector ruler, Mars, is retrograde, signaling a period of review of love affairs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Scorpio<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Scorpio</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/scorpiohoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />2009 brings a strong appreciation for, as well as improvement in, your home life and family. With Jupiter, the planet of abundance, moving through your home and family sector virtually all year, 2009 is bound to bring pleasure, bounty, and expansion to this area of your life. It&#8217;s a year in which you rediscover your roots and work on loving yourself from the bottom up.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Uranus continues to enliven, shake up, and bring changes to your romantic life. For those born November 11-19 in particular, pleasant excitement on a romantic level is in store. Your more quirky and original characteristics are appreciated more than usual. You feel a little freer in expressing your playful side, and others warm up to you more readily as a result.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Last year, your ruler, Pluto, flirted with the sign of Capricorn. This year, Pluto is solidly in this earthy and practical sign, and will be for many years to come. Those born early in the sign of Scorpio (October 23-26) will benefit from a Pluto transiting sextile to their Sun&#8211;a liberating experience. You are becoming more resolute, determined, and courageous. You are more able to free yourself from limiting personal habits. Relationships are improved as you feel stronger and more comfortable in your own skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A lover this year is likely quite home-oriented, and times spent tend to be cozy and comfortable. For single Scorpios looking for a casual romance, they are more likely to find one close to home. Saturn opposes Uranus in your romance sector at many points in 2009, however, and this is bound to shake things up a little. You might find that your friendships impact your romantic relationship, or the demands of others put some strain on it. Those who are married or in a committed partnership shouldn&#8217;t make any serious decisions while Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17. It&#8217;s a period when you or a partner is reviewing the relationship, or your attitudes towards it. You might find that a partner is not as responsive or enthusiastic during this time. It&#8217;s better to just back off and let things happen naturally instead of pushing matters. Otherwise, partnering looks to be rather stable overall in 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For most Scorpios, there won&#8217;t be any major changes in relationship status. Many are settling in. Casual love is unique&#8211;full of ups and downs and small changes. You are experimenting.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From June 6-July 5, both Venus and Mars are in your partnership sector, heating up a close partnership. Some Scorpios will meet a person during this period who could become a partner in the future. Already committed Scorpios will find this Venus-Mars period is a good one for spicing up a current relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros travels through your romance sector much of the year, although part of that time, it is retrograde. Erotic impulses and themes are strong in your life in 2009. Eros is spicing up your love life from May 8-July 19, and from November 9th forward.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">January 3-February 3 is a playful, lighthearted, and magnetic period for love, particularly for casual love affairs. Your powers of attraction run high. Love comes to you rather than your having to pursue it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">March 6-April 17 is the Venus retrograde period. Because Venus rules your partnership sector, you might find relationship matters are stagnant or even seem to be moving backwards. A partner could seem distant. Lay low, review, and think about how to improve relationships, but don&#8217;t make any major decisions during this cycle.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">April 18-22 is a time when your powers of attraction run high, particularly when you are taking on a more assertive and outgoing role.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Towards the end of this period, in the days surrounding April 21, a love opportunity arrives&#8211;grab it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mercury retrograde in your partnership sector from May 13-31 suggests some possible misunderstandings with a partner. You and a partner don&#8217;t say what you mean, or mean what you say! Take words spoken (or written) with a grain of salt.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From June 6-July 5, as mentioned above, Venus and Mars are in your partnership sector, bringing stimulation and excitement to partnerships. May 31-July 12 is a period of fireworks for partnerships&#8211;sometimes stimulating, but for some it could be like open warfare!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from November 8-December 1. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From December 20, 2009 and into March 2010, your secondary ruler, Mars, is retrograde, signaling a period of review. It&#8217;s better not to push projects forward at this time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Libra<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Libra</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/librahoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />2009 brings many opportunities for fun and games, romance, and entertainment for most Libras. With Jupiter, the planet of abundance, moving through your romance and pleasure sector virtually all year, 2009 is bound to bring pleasure in the romance department. Love and romance may enter your life or current love relationships are enhanced with good humor and warmth; and social engagements abound. For singles, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it is not necessarily a person who is &#8220;partnership material&#8221;. You are feeling quite free from responsibilities until the end of October, making it easier for you to let your hair down and have a good time! New responsibilities and possibly pressures are likely to appear in the last two months of the year, particularly for those born very early in the sign (September 23-27) and for those with a Libra Ascendant of 0 to 4 degrees.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Two planetary retrogrades that impact your love life occur this year. One is the retrograde of Venus (your ruling planet) from March 6-April 17, while traveling mostly through your partnership sector; and the other is the retrograde of Mars (the ruler of your partnerships) from December 20th and into 2010). During these cycles, your love life may seem to slow down or you could even feel like you are stepping backwards. These are periods of review rather than times to make big decisions about love. Your intentions can easily be misunderstood while Venus is retrograde, and you could have a hard time &#8220;getting&#8221; a partner while Mars is retrograde.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Both a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse occur in your romance sector this year. The solar eclipse towards the end of January signals a new beginning romantically speaking, although this could also affect issues surrounding children, entertainment, hobbies, and creativity. The lunar eclipse brings eye-opening experiences in August. A romantic affair may be tested. If love is true, there&#8217;s nothing to fear. The demands of your larger goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities. Also possible, your children may be going through their own changes and &#8220;stages&#8221;, and need more attention now. Eclipses in general this year indicate a push from the cosmos towards &#8220;specializing&#8221; romantically speaking.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For most single Libras, there is unlikely to be a love commitment made this year. Fun and pleasure are themes for the most part. Very strong opportunities for starry-eyed romance occur this year with Jupiter joining Neptune three times in your romance sector&#8211;in May, July, and December. Mind you, there is also a tendency to be a little on the gullible side&#8211;you could be believing what you want to believe rather than what is. Note that many Libras will be quite fertile this year. Whether pregnancy is desired or not, it&#8217;s important to know.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Saturn enters your sign on October 29th and will stay in Libra until October 2012. All Libras will experience some new responsibilities, but those born early in the sign (September 23-27) will feel this influence strongest in the last two months of 2009. Right away, Pluto challenges Saturn, suggesting some testing experiences that could put the pressure on. Likely these have to do with family responsibilities, changing attitudes toward domestic life and family, and possibly issues with control and dependency. This energy can shift your focus away from romance somewhat. Many Libras will be feeling quite a bit of pressure to organize their lives and become more responsible.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From April 24 to May 31, both Venus and Mars are in your partnership sector, heating up a close partnership. Although most Libras are unlikely to commit this year, some will meet a person during this period who could eventually become a partner in years to come. Already committed Libras are likely to stay that way this year, and this Venus-Mars period is a good one for spicing up a current relationship.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mercury retrograde in your romance sector, from January 11-21, can be sticky for casual love affairs. A lover may be distant or hard to understand for the time being.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">February 3-March 2 is a strong period for strengthening committed relationships. It&#8217;s also a time when your powers of attraction run high, particularly when you are taking on a more assertive and outgoing role.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From March 9-May 8, Eros is in your romance sector, and your erotic impulses (as well as powers of attraction) run high. However, while Venus is retrograde from March 6-April 17, love can be a little tricky. Romances entered into during the Venus retrograde period may be second-guessed later.</p>
<p>From April 24 to May 31, as mentioned above, Venus and Mars are in your partnership sector, bringing stimulation and excitement to partnerships.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Towards the end of this period, in the days surrounding April 21, a love opportunity on the job is possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From September 7-18, Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and the chances of being misinterpreted or misunderstood run high. Choose your words carefully.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from October 15-November 8. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From December 20, 2009 and into March 2010, your partnership sector&#8217;s ruler, Mars, is retrograde, signaling a period of review for a close relationship. It&#8217;s better not to make sweeping relationship decisions during this cycle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Horoscopes for 2009, with a focus on love, sex, relationships, and romance: Virgo<br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignright" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/erosstruck.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />Eros was the god of erotic love. The position of the asteroid Eros in our charts points to our passion and erotic turn-ons. Mars shows us the style in which we go after what we want, including the ways in which we express our sexuality. Venus shows us some of the important &#8220;trappings&#8221; and foreplay that help us get in the mood for sex. While the positions of these planets and cosmic bodies in our natal charts remain static, their positions are always changing in the cosmos, activating houses and hotspots in our natal charts. The horoscopes presented here are necessarily general, as we are focusing on only the Sun sign or Ascendant, and how these sexual cosmic bodies are currently affecting the natal chart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please note: These horoscopes are more accurate for the <em>Ascendant sign</em>, so if you know it, read them for the sign of your Ascendant first, and the sign of your Sun second.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Virgo</strong></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Virgo Horoscope" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/virgohoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />2009 brings improved working conditions for most Virgos. Virgos born early in the sign (August 23-28) are enjoying more credibility this year. They are increasingly truer to themselves in their self-expression. Intense, fateful, and deep love affairs can develop for these early Virgos, or strengthening of current love ties. This is due to Pluto&#8217;s presence in early Capricorn&#8211;a fellow Earth sign&#8211;and its harmony with Virgo.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Virgos born September 8-22 are experiencing big changes this year. Saturn is conjuncting your Sun and Uranus is opposing it. The result is a real tug of war that can be expressed in a variety of ways. Increased responsibilities are likely. You could be taking yourself more seriously, and feeling a lot of pressure. Your worst enemy in 2009 is the tendency to be self-critical. Virgos are self-critical by nature, but Saturn&#8217;s influence makes this trait especially prominent. Keep your sense of humor! Release of this pressure is likely towards the end of October, when Saturn leaves your sign (with the exception of those born on September 21-22, who will continue to deal with this energy into 2010).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Saturn on your Sun can also bring love and romance to you, ironically enough. This is because Saturn rules your romance sector. Pressures and responsibilities notwithstanding, love, romance, fun, and hobbies are at the front of your mind in 2009.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While romantic relationships of a more casual nature tend to fare well this year, Uranus in your solar seventh house brings unstable energy to more committed relationships. Uranus has been traveling through your partnership sector for a few years now, so it&#8217;s not a new energy in your life, but for those of you born September 12-19 in particular, Uranian energies in your partnerships become very demanding in nature in 2009. Many of you are feeling strong urges to break free from your routine and to express yourselves in a freer manner. Conditions and responsibilities that you have previously tolerated or even enjoyed are now seen as overwhelming and restrictive. Inner changes and struggles occur quite dramatically in 2009, and if your outer  world and the people around you are not changing along with you (which is more  than likely!), you could feel extremely restless and tied down. You are  likely questioning your life as it has been, and wondering if there is a whole  lot more for you &#8220;somewhere out there&#8221;. There is an expression that applies here:  &#8220;Don&#8217;t throw the baby out with the bath water&#8221;. In your attempts to make changes  in your life, and to rid yourself of limiting conditions, you are prone to  making hasty decisions and leaving behind circumstances, jobs, or people that  you might one day miss. Recognize that your urge to rebel comes from a desire for more freedom and  self-expression, and find ways to express yourself and your freedom that don&#8217;t  completely upset the things you have worked hard on building to date. Also  recognize that as you listen to a bruised or misbehaving ego, you are prone to  ignoring your deepest emotions, and as a result you may sever ties that later  leave you wanting. It is especially important to be aware of this &#8220;blind spot&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Those of you looking for love are more likely to find prospective partners through work connections and/or health routines (the gym, for example).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A lunar eclipse in July suggests that a romantic affair may  be tested. If love is true, there&#8217;s nothing to fear. The demands of your larger  goals in life may have been eclipsing your pleasure-seeking activities, and this becomes glaringly apparent now. Also  possible, your children may be going through their own changes and &#8220;stages&#8221;, and  need more attention now.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The retrograde of Venus from March 6-April 17 is likely to affect everyone&#8217;s personal life in some way, but a little less so for you, with the exception of April 11-17 when Venus dips back into your partnership sector. Re-evaluating a partnership is in order then, but avoid making hasty decisions.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros activates romantic and partnering hotspots a good part of the year, suggesting strong erotic impulses and themes this year.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">January 3-February 3 is a strong period for committed relationships, whether it&#8217;s a time of strengthening an existing partnership or attracting a new one.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From January 17-March 9, Eros is in your romance sector, and your erotic impulses (as well as powers of attraction) run high.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mercury retrograde in your romance sector, from January 21-February 1, however, can be sticky for love affairs. A lover may be distant or hard to understand for the time being.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From March 15-April 22, Mars activates your partnership sector, and while this can bring excitement to relationships, you could also be dealing with some suspiciousness and possibly angry scenarios. Because Venus is retrograde for much of this period, be cautious with how you handle your close personal relationships.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Towards the end of this period, in the days surrounding April 21, a nice reconciliation is possible.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from September 21-October 15. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>. Still, while Mercury is retrograde during this cycle, from September 21-29, watch for misunderstandings or changes of heart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From December 25th forward, your charm is easy and natural. The last week of December is very strong for all things romantic and fun.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.cafeastrology.com/blog/leohoroscope.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="196" />2009 is expected to be a very strong year for relationships for most Leos. Many Leos will be deriving much joy from their partnerships this year. In previous years, many of you have experienced quite a bit of confusion surrounding your relationships or relationship status, due to Neptune&#8217;s presence in your solar seventh house of partnerships. Well, Neptune is still influencing your partnerships, but Jupiter in the same sector in 2009 helps to bring more joy and understanding to this area of your life.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Although we generally consider Jupiter to be a largely happy influence, sometimes endings occur under its influence, but generally they are for the better good all around, if they do happen. New partners met now are likely to feel much like a breath of fresh air.  Challenging relationships or challenges in relationships tend to be left behind  for the most part during this trend. 2009 is a commitment-friendly year for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Uranus continues to shake up your intimate life with the urge to experiment and detach yourself a little in order to do so. With the ruler of your romance sector in your partnership sector this year, romantic partners or casual love affairs move away from casual and become more like close partnerships. Some of you will be taking a casual affair to a whole new level.</p>
<p>Saturn enters your solar third house at the end of October, and a new trend of learning, working, and studying hard begins. Until then, you continue to buckle down with money. For those born early in the sign of Leo (July 23-27), some restructuring on the job and with your health routines is in order.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There is a set of eclipses in January-February and a lunar eclipse in early August that impact your partnerships. Towards the end of January and into the first weeks of February, a new beginning in a partnership is in order. You are also wearing your own heart on your sleeve during this period. Pay attention to what comes bubbling up from within, because whatever the emotions you experience quite suddenly now have actually been brewing under the surface for some time. Early August is a powerful period for relating. Eye-opening experiences occur then, and could be experienced as relationship &#8220;tests&#8221;. It&#8217;s time for negotiating and compromising.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The retrograde of Venus from March 6-April 17 is likely to affect everyone&#8217;s personal life in some way, but not so much for you, as Venus is not connected to romantic hotspots in your solar chart, and its position by sign at the time of the retrograde is also not love-oriented.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Eros activates romantic and partnering hotspots a good part of the year, suggesting strong erotic impulses and themes this year.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Key Periods in 2009:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mercury retrograde in your partnership sector, from January 11-21, can be sticky for partnerships. A partner may be distant or hard to understand.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The days surrounding April 21 are potent for intimacy. Some Leos could meet a rather exotic sexual partner now, or could meet someone through travel.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From July 22-August 22, your ruler, the Sun, is journeying through your romance sector, and you are especially open to romantic adventure.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Venus is in your sign from August 26-September 20. This is a time when the world seems to be speaking, or at least appreciating, your &#8220;love language&#8221;. It&#8217;s a period ripe with opportunity for attracting others, for turning on the charm, and for receiving positive feedback from partners or love interests. Love seems to come <em>to you</em> without the need for your pursuing <em>it</em>. Still, while Mercury is retrograde from September 7, watch for misunderstandings or changes of heart.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mars is in your sign from October 16 and into the New Year 2010-a period in which you should be going after what (or who) you want with confidence. You possess more energy and verve now. However, Mars turns retrograde on December 20th, and you could find you second-guess your actions. From December 20th forward, keep your expectations low and don&#8217;t overdo it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From November 22-December 21. Every year when the Sun is in Sagittarius and traveling through your romance sector, your focus is on love, entertainment, romance, and fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">From December 1-25, your charm is easy and natural.</p>
