2009 Horoscope Aquarius

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) – 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius: 

2009: Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2009 Overview. This is your year, dear Aquarius. You are presenting a more generous, jolly, and pleasant “you” in 2009 that’s sure to win you 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.  2009 is excellent for personal popularity and influence, as well as getting personal initiatives off the ground. Nevertheless, problems arise in a partnership regarding matters of sharing, intimacy, and finances. Some of you may be dealing with arguments with a partner (or ex) over money and/or sexuality and concepts of “ownership”. By the end of October, challenges with debts, taxes, or shared finances lift for most of you. It’s also a time when you are feeling freer on an intimate level. While money that is shared or coming from others may be challenged in 2009, income from your own personal efforts is likely to improve. In January and February, issues surrounding independence versus dependence arise that need attention. A partnership may be tested, but strong ones come out of it even stronger! July 12-August 1 is a sizzling time for romance. In 2009, your feelings, ideals, and beliefs expand, and you have a strong desire to make everyday life more magical. A positive attitude will bring positive circumstances into your life, as long as you remain realistic. Try not to take unnecessary risks or gambles. Your heart is very open this year. Protect it with realistic expectations and you’ll have a grand ol’ time!

2009 Details. Jupiter, the planet of abundance, graces your solar first house this year. This transit brings noticeable improvements to your environment and self-confidence to your personality. Your personality is more obviously expansive, exuberant, and enthusiastic; and your natural optimism and generosity are highlighted, even heightened. This cycle has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate, and hopeful time for you! You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. What happened in the past is not very important to you now–it’s the future you’re eyeing now. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable–you have an altogether different perspective on life this year, and are not inclined much to sweat the small stuff. You want to create a distinct first impression on others, and you tend to do just that. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. At times, you may feel like the sky is the limit! You might need to guard against becoming too full of yourself or overly self-interested, however. There is also a risk of overindulgence and other forms of extreme behavior. Be careful that a carefree attitude doesn’t end up a careless one. You feel considerably more free to be yourself, and others tend to accept you more readily. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once, although they are more likely due to Jupiter’s direct influence on your life. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar first, from January 5 through June 14, and then from October 14 through December.

Jupiter on your Sun in January and February puts a spring in your step! You are looking for fulfillment in your life now. You could be a tad wrapped up in yourself and your personal goals, however, and this may not go over well with people close to you, particularly on the home front. You could experience some distinct mood swings. One day you’re feeling on top of the world, and the next day you’re wondering what else you can do and feeling downright restless. This is a time to go after your dreams, for certain, but do your best to avoid alienating people or things that you normally hold dear to your heart.

Saturn continues to transit your solar eighth house until the end of October. How do you handle power? Your desire nature? Intimate relationships? What kind of obsessions and addictions do you have? What are your deep-rooted compulsions? What are your unhealthy attachments? When Saturn transits our eighth house, you feel pressure to answer these questions. You are likely to be more sensitive to what seem like outer world pressures that force you to examine some of your deepest desires and attachments. These include your sexual relationships, your finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances), and your need for control. Sometimes, Saturn transiting the eighth brings about sexual dysfunctions, whether we encounter these in ourselves or in our partners. You may face some difficulties satisfying your libido and/or encountering problems with intimacy. These pressures are “designed” to make you more aware of your desire nature, and what exactly it is you want. Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what you want, especially with regard to relationships with others and with your resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. You may discover that previous methods of controlling your environment and the people in your life simply are not effective any more. You may not even be aware just how you have been employing power and control before this transit. Another realm over which the eighth house reigns is our mortality. With Saturn here, you become much more aware of your mortality. Saturn transiting the eighth house often brings with it a realization that we do not live forever. Of course, we know this as a fact at the back of our minds, but Saturn reminds us in no uncertain terms. Saturn’s presence here also urges you to organize your finances. On a psychological level, you face some of your fears that are of a compulsive nature—those fears that lead you to believe you need certain things in order to survive. Take a small example of a superstition. Perhaps you perform some kind of small ritual that you feel will help protect you or give you good luck. If you do it often enough, it becomes an addiction. You are afraid that if you don’t do this little ritual, you will set yourself up for bad luck. If you get rid of this superstition, you feel strong. It requires courage in order to do it, but it is empowering to do so. Something as simple as a superstition or ritual for good luck can undermine us. Why? Because we are giving away our power over ourselves to this compulsive behavior! We are denying that we have power over our own lives. The same is true of any form of compulsive behavior and addiction. We attempt to control our lives through these behaviors, but what we are really doing is letting the addictions control us. Towards the end of this transit next year, you will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that have been keeping you back from feeling emotionally free. You emerge healthier and stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others, we give away our own power over ourselves. By the end of this transit, you will feel considerably more emotionally healthy. You will have nixed some of your addictions, and mastered your superstitions. You will feel more powerful because you have given up attempting to control things you cannot or should not control, and you will have gained a feeling of self-mastery instead.

At the end of October, Saturn begins its transit through your solar ninth house. This period in your life is generally dedicated to self-improvement. You are developing your ideals and your commitments. Ideals and spiritual goals that you may have taken for granted or worked with for many years seem superficial or not particularly useful to you now. You come face to face with your self-defeating attitudes during this period of time. The ninth house is a fire house, and it has much to do with our outlook, our sense of adventure, and our confidence. It also is associated with our faith, hope, and vision. Although its attachment to such things as higher learning and travel might mean that a Saturn transit to this house will affect these things, for most of you, it is more about taking a closer look at, and re-assessing, your attitude and confidence. The blind faith or optimism that may have carried you to date comes up for inspection. Are your belief systems sound? What do you stand for? What kind of future are you working towards, and why? These are some of the questions this transit stimulates. The spirit that drives you and motivates you to move out and beyond the everyday grind comes up for inspection. By the end of the transit, you will come face to face with what it is that offers you hope and optimism as well as that which fuels your drive. While you may have been questioning yourself recently, working hard at self-improvement ultimately leads to replacing your old spirit with a regenerated one. You will be one step closer to knowing where you are headed, and you will have re-built faith in yourself. Ideally, you adopt a more mature attitude towards adventure and facing the unknown. You let go of self-defeating attitudes that have been holding you back, you recognize exactly where you have been overdoing your expectations, and you find new ways to nurture faith, hope, and vision. This is truly a period of self-discovery.

Saturn is trine your Sun from the end of October and into 2010, and this helps you to focus on your goals. This transit is a stabilizing one–others know they can rely on you, and you on them. Your vision is all the more realistic now, but pleasingly so. You work steadily and determinedly towards your goals. Authority figures and elders tend to look favorably upon you.

Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your sign three times this year–May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. Practical considerations could take a back seat under this influence. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the better good. Everyday, ordinary life doesn’t always satisfy, as you hunger for a more idealistic life. This can lead to disappointment or strong feelings of discontent and restlessness. You may need a reality check here and there in order to keep your expectations realistic. Caution should be exercised with legal matters, finances, and other worldly, practical affairs, as the tendency to ignore critical details or to take foolish risks runs high.

Jupiter’s influence on your solar chart also points to more activities with friends, as well as new group associations that seem to simply come to you without much effort on your part.

The influences of Uranus and Neptune this year are similar to last year and represent long-term trends. Uranus in your second house brings about subtle changes to your value system. Some of you are moving towards a less materialistic value system, and others may be encountering unexpected circumstances that bring about a fluctuating or uncertain income. There may be a trend towards Uranus-ruled areas as the major source of income in your life, such as through new technologies, science, computers, the Internet, or metaphysics. You are also inclined to take a few more risks with your finances, or unusual ways of making money could be in place during this cycle. The best advice for increasing your earning power now is to nurture your latent inventive or progressive, future-oriented talents. Neptune continues to transit your sign and solar first house. You are increasingly less focused on your own self-centered needs, more universal in your concerns, and more open to the intangible realms of inspiration and beauty.

Many of you are going into businesses for yourself, or using your own personality and image in your money-making endeavors.

Eclipses mostly activate your first and seventh houses as well as your sixth and twelfth houses this year. In January, February, and August, the eclipses are very personal, occurring in your own sign and the sign opposite to yours. You will be exploring issues of dependence and independence in your life. Too much dependence on others can undermine your own self-confidence–and your relationships in the process. Excessive self-interest and willfulness can undermine your close personal relationships–and can actually work against your better interests. This year, through some trial and error, you are discovering how to balance these issues. Learning to rely on yourself as well as enjoying a close partnership is what these eclipses are about. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence come to the fore. You may, for example, receive a cosmic push towards expressing yourself more creatively and experience an increased drive to take charge of your life. Issues surrounding your personal appearance, your body, and your image become especially important and, in some cases, critical. Basically, you will be learning to stand on your own two feet! This sequence of eclipses also alerts you to the need to interact with others–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. These eclipses give you a push towards a stronger identity as well as a sense of purposefulness through close partnership.

In July and on the last day of 2009, eclipses point to issues of work and service, as well as health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), coming into focus. You are called upon to deal with the the details and practicalities of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines. It’s time to formulate some clear goals and plans. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Believing in a grand plan is fine, but practical concerns need to be dealt with as well. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. This year, issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety become paramount.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from January 3-12 and February 19-28. Watch for overspending especially from March 15-27.

However, Aquarians born February 11-16, and those with an Ascendant of 22-27 degrees Aquarius, experience the Neptune-Sun conjunction in 2009. This influence sensitizes your mind, body, and soul to a higher energy. It can act to soften your disposition, as you become more attuned to the subtleties in your environment and in everyday activities. You absorb the mood of those around you quite easily now, and your temperament is somewhat changeable as a result. This transit can add a mysterious aura to the way you project yourself to others. You tend to be less practical than you are idealistic, dreamy, and sensitive. Some of you may find the mundane concerns of life too boring, too drab to grab your attention! Some may feel less confident, as their direction in life is suddenly uncertain; others may attune themselves to a stronger spiritual purpose.

Many of you are going into businesses for yourself, or using your own personality and image in your money-making endeavors.

Chiron conjunct your Sun (or Ascendant) is active for those born February 10-15. This influence is a healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities—both personal and professional—are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive ones.

January’s Solar Eclipse falls in your twelfth house. In the first half of 2009, you are called upon to rid yourself of guilt about under-performing, and to develop faith and trust in a larger more spiritual plan. It’s time to let go of some of your fears that you are not doing enough, to develop more compassion and understanding of others, and to be humble, feeling safe in the knowledge that you (and others) are not perfect. It’s time to let go of some of your obsessions with rules, details, and fears of not doing things perfectly. February’s Lunar Eclipse falls in your seventh house. 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–a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It’s time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It’s time to compromise and negotiate.

July’s Solar and Lunar Eclipses fall in your sixth and twelfth houses respectively. These eclipses point to issues of work and service, as well as health (both mental/spiritual, and physical), coming into focus. You are called upon to deal with the the details and practicalities of everyday life, to become more organized, and to take charge of your routines. It’s time to formulate some clear goals and plans. Circumstances are such that you need to develop some healthy habits, routines, and schedules. Believing in a grand plan is fine, but practical concerns need to be dealt with as well. Recognizing your personal limitations in terms of just how much you can give to others and just how much compassion and understanding you can show is essential now. It’s time to structure your life. This year, issues of guilt, worry, and anxiety become paramount.

Your strongest financial periods in 2009 occur from January 23-February 3 and March 10-20. Watch for overspending especially from April 8-22.
