2001 puts you into the
limelight as your interests and career take off. Venus is in Aries Feb 3-June 5. The
beauty of your soul touches others - you become inspirational as your loving qualities
expand throughout the Spring. Your appearance softens, making you attractive romantically.
Mars in your solar ninth house Feb 15-September 8 brings you closer to personal goals.
Meditation, reflection on your commitments and spiritual progress widens your social
circle all year. Travel becomes a "must" during the summer. As autumn arrives,
you' have more time for yourself. You move successfully through a time of uphill
although enjoyable transition. Rewards come in December when Venus connects with your
point of personal strength and power.

Saturn goes
"direct" in Taurus on January 25, giving your priorities a chance to take shape.
Your strength returns as your money area is endowed with the good fortune of Jupiter until
mid-July, building the financial foundation you yearn for. In your solar twelfth house of
dreams and the subconscious mind, Venus, goddess of love, brings chance encounters which
direct you towards success in the spring. Some of these meetings are past-life connections
- you'll feel that a new acquaintance is someone you've known for a long time. There could
be clashes with a partner over joint resources. Mars near Pluto in Sagittarius heats up
your temper Feb 15-Sept 8, so tread lightly. Autumn is a time of career satisfaction as
you find new ways to expand your current situation.

Jupiter goes
"direct" on January 25, ensuring 2001 is rather peachy until mid-July. You
become a magnet for opportunities that make you feel you were born to be lucky. Anything
to do with communication, publishing and travel heightens your brilliance. You will
astound people with your leaps of faith and good fortune. Venus remains in your solar
eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes Feb 3-June 5. The opportunity to be in
beautiful surroundings with influential people expands both your business and spiritual
prowess. Your partnership sector could bring a hot temper or struggle for dominance Feb
15-Sept 8 as Mars transits this area. Retreating a bit, Autumn allows you to readjust your
finances and personal power to meet the demands of travel and reawaken harmony within.

Your career and public
image brightens in 2001 as Venus transits this sector of your chart Feb 3-June 5.
Promotions, more comfortable surroundings and a pleasant atmosphere with co-workers makes
you feel what you have developed is truly worthwhile. Chance meetings with past-life loves
or an old friend you haven't seen for ages gives you the opportunity to clear out and
resolve old "karma" before Jupiter moves into your Sign in mid-July. For the
remainder of 2001 you are blessed with good fortune and lucky coincidences. Travel,
romance, and a sense of respect from others boosts your confidence. Make sure you say
"Yes!" to as many invitations as you can. Mars in your health sector gives you
the stamina and courage to build the trim body you desire. By autumn, you have time to
reassess your options and choose what's closest to your heart.

The first half of 2001
gives you no less than a charmed life, especially February until early June. Venus is in
Aries in your solar ninth house of travel, and Mars is in your solar fifth house of
romance during this time. You are bestowed with a triple fire triangle aspect, known as a
"grand trine." Opportunities fall into your lap, while you balance your feminine
(Venus) and masculine (Mars) qualities. Be careful not to overextend yourself, as by
September Mars leaves Sagittarius and moves into your health and work sector. You'll have
the stamina you need, but it would be nice if your reserves have been restored rather than
depleted. If you have children, you'll find yourself very caught up in their causes, which
stimulates your creativity. Your social circle expands as Jupiter transits this area from
mid-July through December, increasing your confidence and popularity tenfold.

2001 promises to be a
better year with Venus in your solar eighth house Feb 3-June 5. This is a time when you
could receive a bonus as opportunities come from a partner, legacy or an investment. The
type and amount you receive depends on your "inner" work - have you removed all
mental and emotional blocks to receive that which the heavens are ready to bestow upon
you? The spring and summer imbue you with stamina and determination. Mars progresses
through your "home base" sector. You may choose to expand your living situation.
Don't let Mars' temper go to your head - you stand a better chance of impressing others
with your verve and energy if you keep your cool. Autumn surrounds you with beauty,
gift-wrapped in lovely communications that make you feel appreciated and secure.

2001 brings delights when
it comes to married Librans. Venus is opposite your Sign February to early June. Those
qualities which so amazed you are now back in style as a "special someone" seems
more attractive and loving. Some compromise may have to be made, however, to receive all
of Venus' generosity. For unmarried Librans, your chances of finding a committed partner
are heightened during the first half of the year. Get ready - Venus could signal wedding
bells! Past misunderstandings will be resolved during the spring and summer. Mars cruises
through your solar third house of thoughts and ideas Feb 15-Sept 8. You will shed old
limitations and develop a new vision of yourself. Opportunities for career and public
prestige are the best they have been for 12 years. Enjoy!

2001 begins with Mars in
your Sun sign, giving you the energy, insight and determination you need to see
"through the veil" to opportunities beckoning. This is your year to make money
and to stock up on new acquisitions. Venus is in your work and health sector Feb 3-June 5,
while Mars cruises through the income area of your chart from February until early
September. You'll notice your masculine (Mars) and feminine (Venus) sides of yourself are
more integrated, helping you to achieve your goals and long-awaited dreams. Until
mid-July, the influence of Jupiter bestows good fortune should you attempt any
transformative or "inner" work. Meditation, travel to sacred sites, and studying
psychology all prepare you for new developments. Responsibilities begin in autumn, as your
spiritual awareness deepens and you become a source of comfort to others.

2001 is set to become
firmly imprinted in your soul memory banks. The influence of Venus improves romance,
creativity, relationships with children, and makes you willing to work for "the body
beautiful". Although you have been dealing with Pluto in your Sign - giving you big
ups and downs - Mars will be there as well this year, from Feb 15-Sept 8. You'll have all
the energy you need to achieve your many goals. Mars conjunct to Pluto is very sexy - and
very dynamic. You'll turn heads and receive enormous amounts of attention. Be sure to give
thanks and remain humble, as others might turn away from your infallibility. Mars moves
into your financial sector in the autumn. If you don't get caught up in Mars' hot-tempered
ambition (running and swimming could save you), your money will grow and you'll find it
increases when December arrives.

During January there are
four planets in your money sector. So much activity sets the pace - you're off to a good
start in the financial races. Saturn goes "direct" on January 25, stabilizing
romance and creativity. By May, a window of opportunity opens, freeing up restrictions
that come with building strong foundations. Family and healthful foods take a front seat
as Venus transits your "home base" area. Your work and health life takes on an
enjoyable tone as summer nears. You are able to be your own authority, managing your
physical, mental and emotional fitness, as well as your work environment. Jupiter bestows
many happy moments to married Capricorns beginning mid-July. Dreams and past-life memories
come alive in autumn. You may meet a special someone in 2001 who has been searching for
you without your knowing it.

The Sun in Aquarius late
January begins 2001 with an auspicious star of good fortune. Neptune is direct in your
Sign until May, bringing inspirational ideas into focus. Jupiter opens up new vistas as it
sails through your area of romance, children, and "taking a risk" until
mid-July. Be careful not to overextend yourself as Jupiter moves retrograde in November.
You'll need this time to become more physically fit and organized to meet the demands made
upon you. Venus opens up your area of communication this year, as you enjoy the mental
games and puzzles of life that challenge your ability to stay on the cutting edge. All the
good will and expansion that you dream of is given to you in 2001 - are you ready to march
through the veil of illusion into a deeper reality?

Venus in Pisces during
January softens your appearance and allows you to feel beautiful inside and out. Venus
then progresses into your solar second house of income and possessions for four months.
This is a time to build your resources-financial, mental, physical and spiritual.
Opportunities present themselves to you-learning to comfortably receive them will be your
biggest challenge. You're also handling the energy of Mars in your area of career and
public prestige until September. You'll be filled with a determination to move forward.
Develop a healthy way to release pent-up energies when loved ones and influential
colleagues seem to lag behind. A love for writing may bring new love into your life, and
communications with family and siblings improve. Autumn brings inspiration and an
awareness that you truly are connected with all of life. |
