New Year Chart 2008

MARS AND PLUTO OPPOSITION
Mars is the God of War and Pkuto the God of the Underworld, so this is a Power Struggle. This is seen in the world as the conflict in Kenya as the year starts. This also the assassination of Benazir Bhutto on Dec 27th 2007.

She was born 21st June 1953, within a month of Tony Blair. Both share a Saturn Neptune conjunction. This is a combination that indicates the saviour, or martyr.

VENUS IN SAGITTARIUS
Rise of a political woman into power.
I predict that Hilary Clinton will win in the US elections. She represents the old as she has the statesmanship by being The First Lady. Her Jupiter is at 1 degree of Sagittarius, the exact degree of Venus for the year. She also has a Mars/ Pluto /Saturn conjunction which echoes the Mars/ Pluto opposition. This is a determined woman well used to power.

MERCURY AND SATURN
These two planets are in each others signs. This bodes well for serious commitment to speaking and communicating the truth.Learn about the power of transformational communication.

JUPITER CONJUNCT THE SUN.
As Jupiter is a positive energy this is a good conjunction. However Jupiter is weak in the sign of Capricorn. Ruled by saturn it indicates that faith is needed this year and the need for patience as things indicated by Jupiter- teaching, travel, higher education and the maw, will take time to show results. Serious commitment is needed to weather the economic storms of the year ahead.

JUPITER TRINES SATURN
The future meets the past, a year to get real and be in the here and now.

ECONOMIC CYCLE This is a major conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn and always marks the beginning of a new economic cycle. They last joined on 28th May 2000 in the sign of Taurus, an earth sign. This year Saturn again makes an aspect to Jupiter, now also in the element of earth. This is a positive aspect and happens on January 21st.

Build on your successes
So often we fail to appreciate how far we've come on our journey. It's a good time to reflect on the last year and celebrate all that you've achieved in 2007. Think of the main areas of your life - relationships, spirituality and work and ask yourself:-

What have you accomplished?
What are you proud of?
What have you healed? What new friendships have you formed?
What are you grateful for?
