Finding & Enhancing Love in 2009: Astrological Trends
Love and Relationship Trends in 2009: Outer Planets
The energies of 2009 support steady, solid, and committed love for the most part. If you’re looking to find love, or to enhance a relationship, this year, it’s best to work with the energies of 2009 instead of against them.
2009 is the Year of the Ox.
In Chinese Astrology, the period from January 26, 2009, to February 14, 2010 is represented by the Ox. In order to understand this energy in terms of relationships, we’ll need to keep in mind that the Ox is solid, hard working, and committed. The Ox takes its time, is patient, and cautious.
Approaching a new love interest this year is best done with patience, some restraint, and diligence. Show your solid and stable qualities.
New love this year will more likely last in the long term if it starts slowly and develops steadily.
Those born in the years of the Rooster and Snake may be the most fortunate in 2009 in terms of love, as long as they “keep it real”.
2009 is a strong year for developing relationships already begun. It favors building, preparing for the future, and commitment.
2009 is the Number 11/2.
Another feminine or “yin” influence, the Number 2 favors meaningful partnering. Togetherness is a goal. Finding meaning and purpose through a partner or relationship is a theme in 2009. The qualities of forgiveness, tolerance, and patience are rewarded.
Saturn enters Libra at the end of October.
Another indication of a more serious approach to love comes in late October. Saturn entering the sign of one-to-one relationships brings a mature and serious tone to commitment. Some may feel it as burdensome. Relationships may go through a sort of “road test” during this 2+ year cycle.
Pluto in Capricorn.
Pluto will stay in the sign of Capricorn for years to come, and will slowly transform our values on many levels. With regards to relationships, we are likely to see an increased attraction to mature partnering, status, and professionalism.
Jupiter in Aquarius.
While the above influences are on the reserved side, Jupiter in Aquarius in 2009 inspires a need for communication, freedom, and a feeling of camaraderie in our relationships. Giving our existing partners room to breathe is thus wise. Smothering a partner is not going to be well-received for the most. Tolerance and acceptance themes are reinforced with Jupiter’s influence in this humanitarian sign.
Love in 2009.
The bottom line is to “keep it real” in love this year. Try not to make hasty decisions about love. Take your time. Give your partner or potential partner space, show tolerance and acceptance, and be patient.
