The PISCES 4-1-1

Element: Water
Ruling Planet: Neptune, Jupiter
Quality: Mutable
Nature: Negative, Feminine
Symbol: Fish

Health Alert: Pisces rule the feet and its structural bones and toes. They must be careful with sprains, stubbed toes, ankle issues, bunions, or broken bones. Since many Pisces are avid runners, dancers or sports-enthusiasts, they need to learn to guard their feet to avoid permanent damage or invasive surgery. Internally, Pisces rule the lymphatic system. They must take caution when it comes to internal inflammation, gland functions in general, and problems with drugs. Allergic reactions to drugs, and a susceptibility to addictions, can become a serious issue for Pisces, who use drugs and alcohol to escape reality or numb themselves from their intense emotions. These said emotions can cause Pisces to struggle with depression and psychosomatic illnesses more often than not. Most of their health issues stem from emotional distress, and as such, they tend to have a weak immune system to fight off colds, flu, sinus infections, or other illnesses. Therapeutic ways of avoiding addictive tendencies and reducing stress on the body would be yoga or Pilates, which most Pisces love because it helps them to feel spiritually aligned as well. Last but not least, Pisces tend to indulge in expensive tastes when it comes to rich foods. They should be wary of excessive drinking and eating, especially late night. Their bodies have a delicate system and their metabolism is a bit weaker than most.

Where to Find a Pisces: performing on-stage, whether it be a dance production, musical collaboration, or play. They are heavily involved in the arts, so when they aren’t on stage, they can likely be found working late hours in an art or dance studio, reading in a bookstore, rehearsing their lines with a cast mate, cooking in a restaurant, or attending a lecture on religion or philosophy. You may also find a lot of Pisces working in marketing or graphic design firms, as they get to apply their artistic skills in a corporate environment. You can also find them near water (ocean, lake, etc) meditating or just watching the scenery while writing down their latest poem or chapter in their novel. Most Pisceans are involved in charity work and the Church, so an easy target would be to go to a worship service or sign up for volunteer work in your area (animal shelters, soup kitchens, mentoring programs, campaign fundraising, etc). New Age workshops, readings, or events is a prime target for the typical Pisces, who is very in-tune with alternative lifestyles. This said lifestyle leads them to organic food markets and grocery stores, too. If all else fails, you are guaranteed to find a Pisces in a yoga or Pilates studio (and probably, they are teaching the class!).

How to Spot a Pisces: they are fairly easy to spot because they tend to stand out like a sore thumb in a crowd. Many of them have light eyes that are soft and soulful, which they use to analyze the environment around them. They won’t be the loud person in the room always talking. In fact, they will be the quiet one you have to draw out of their shell. Once they are drawn out, they can be quite witty and charming, surprising most people. A hearty laugh that throws their head back, and frequent movements of their head is also a noticeable trait (that “huh? me?” what?” movement). It’s almost as if they look like someone has splashed water on their face. Their faces, and facial movements, are quite expressive when they become animated—otherwise, they can look like a deer in headlights most of the time. They may wave their arms around when they talk as well, almost as if they are dancing or giving a grand speech in their head at the same time that they are sitting down and talking to you about their day. The women are drawn to floral prints and very feminine pieces (sheer fabrics, summer dresses, scarves, subdued prints, etc) that allow them to move easily and comfortably. The less glamorous Pisces woman will wear jeans and a fleece jacket or t-shirt all the time (and some kind of creative addition, like a scarf around their head, a cool/different piece of jewelry, or a fun headband) or have a more hippy look (flowing printed dresses an earth tones), and the more glamorous will have no problem decking herself out in jewels, a fur coat, and a plunging neckline showing her curvy figure (think of Elizabeth Taylor when she was young). She uses her clothes to define herself as either a sexy siren or a natural beauty. The men love wearing blues and greens, and will often be in khakis or some other relaxed-wear. In business, they are always in sharp suits and have impeccable taste. They like to look good—it helps them charm the women more so that they can get what they want!

How to Attract a Pisces: have a kind heart, an interest in the arts and in their passion for the arts, and be attractive. Pisces are very visual and don’t like things that look messy or in disarray—it throws them off balance. If you are a good soul, with a strong will, they will fall madly in love with you. Typically, a Pisces is first attracted sexually, but will wait to get to know you better before really falling in love (Do you have the same interests? Are you spiritual? Do you respect yourself? Are you a family person?). Ironically, even though Pisces are attracted to pretty people, they are turned off by materialistic ones. A Pisces man loves an attractive, feminine woman, but if she spends too much money on shoes, bags, or clothes, or expects that he spends his money on her, he is quickly turned off. He will view her motives as selfish, materialistic, and greedy. A Pisces woman is always looking for a man who is put together and successful. She needs to feel secure and taken care of, and a well dressed man with a good bank account is definitely the route to her heart, even if he can be slightly selfish or self-involved, she falls for his charms. The general rule of thumb, however, is just to be a good, nice person—someone that a Pisces considers to be honest, virtuous, and loyal. A wicked sense of humor will also help you. Many Pisces are in the entertainment industry, notably as comedians or actors, and love making people laugh. You should take to heart that Pisces have very volatile emotions, as well. This means they can be obsessed with you one moment, and disinterested in the next. Be willing to ride their emotional waves (and sometimes, tsunamis) if you want to spend a lifetime together.

How to Lose a Pisces: being more emotionally erratic than they are, loud, or pretentious, is a great way to get rid of your Pisces. They may hang in there for a while because they dig a little bit of the crazy (they are crazy too, after all), but they will quickly swim upstream after a short while. They loathe nasty behavior, ugly people, negative personalities, and irresponsible partners. Female Pisces are looking for a strong, alpha male to protect them; male Pisces are looking for a feminine, faithful and kind-hearted alpha female to nourish them. It’s really that simple. So, if you don’t fall within the lines, you simply don’t matter to a Pisces.

The PISCES Best & Worst List

Best Qualities: intuitive, nurturing and soulful, Pisces have a way about them that makes people drawn to them. Whether it is because they are mysterious, seem innocent, or make people feel coddled and needed, they are like Mother Nature radiating warmth and harmony. Romantic and charming, Pisces easily find partners in their life to fulfill their needs. Their creativity is limitless, whether they are a male or a female. Male Pisces tend to focus more on cooking or music, and are therefore often found running a kitchen or writing their own music and/or playing an instrument of their choice. Their girlfriends have swooned over their emotional sensitivity and way with words—especially when they put the words in a romantic poem or song while playing their guitar. Female Pisces are more apt to write (poems, short stories) or be an artist or dancer. They have a strong need to use their sense of touch and their free spirit in their creative endeavors and are not afraid to express themselves through dancing, painting, or singing. Regardless of their sex, Pisces are extremely expressive on paper and often live in a fantasy world. Their artistic inclinations just make them very different from the average Joe (or Jane). Their emotions are so strong and finely tuned that, when they become too overwhelming, they can turn them into something beautiful, if they so desire. Inclined to spirituality and New Age beliefs, Pisces is a sign that is typically psychic and somewhat mystical. As the oldest sign of the Zodiac that is also connected astrologically to Jesus Christ, they have profound wisdom and beliefs in a higher power. Many Pisces are strongly linked to churches and religious leaders, and/or are involved in charitable works, volunteering, holistic healing, or counseling.

Worst Qualities: Pisces live in a fantasy world that makes it seem as if they are oh-so-mysterious (people can’t help but wonder “what ARE they thinking about?”), but the reality is that they are so confused about how they feel that they very rarely can make a decision about which mood they are in or which direction to go. Indecisiveness is a big challenge for Pisces and can sometimes render them immutable and left whining and throwing a tantrum because they simply can’t decide between hot and cold, happy or sad, left or right. As fickle as a child, their decisions and actions are at the beck and call of their mood de jour. Making a commitment to a decision, feeling, or idea can be excruciating for them and they end up delegating the decision to someone else. Pisces say that they hate hurting someone’s feelings, but the truth is that many of them get a sadistic kick out of hurting the ones they love. They can be completely self-absorbed and self-centered, so it is hard for them to strike a fine balance between making a decision that is best for them while still making it seem as if they are putting other people’s feelings into consideration. Violent tempers, mood swings, possessive, and addictive personalities are very common to Pisces. Many are apt to deal with depression, jealousies, and feelings of inadequacy or unexplained sadness. Sometimes living in their own fantasy world with their head in the clouds makes the landing on Earth a crash and burn reality. Pisces need to learn to not transfer their own feelings of unhappiness or inadequacy onto their loved ones, or they may end up terribly alone. Also, when a Pisces has made up their mind, they can be incredibly loyal to that decision, which can be a heavy burden on those who don’t agree.

Best Matches: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio

Taurus thrives in the home and needs to feel protected, secure, and loved. Taurus, after all, is in love with the idea of love—wishing that the world is full of romance and sex. In comes Pisces, who, with a wave of a wand, can make all their dreams seem true. Both signs are also drawn to the intensity of touch and are very ethereal. They aren’t afraid to explore their sexuality together and see what happens in the bedroom. Spiritual conversations, intense emotional bonds, and a sense of comfort comes easily when these two signs are paired together. They will be best friends and lovers, which is, after all, the sweetest thing. Famous Couples: Javier Bardem (Pisces) and Penelope Cruz (Taurus), Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Randy Gerber (Taurus), Eva Longoria (Pisces) and Tony Parker (Taurus), Liza Minnelli (Pisces) and David Gest (Taurus)

Virgo is Pisces perfect astrological opposite. This is to say that they can either be a great couple, or a horrible one. While Pisces may find making a decision hard, Virgo is more apt to say “this is what you do and how you do it.” And when both are stuck for a decision, the over-analytical Virgo and the dreamlike Pisces can sit together for hours arriving at the best decision and exploring all the pro’s and con’s of the situation. Virgo enjoys Pisces mystical and seemingly innocent (and slightly neurotic) side; Pisces delights in Virgo’s purity and strength. Virgo is always reliable when it comes to Pisces because a Virgo always feels the need to protect or nurture their wounded partner. However, Virgo can easily become annoyed with Pisces’ inconsistencies and inability to make decisions. Pisces can feel over-analyzed and criticized by Virgo. The truth is that both are at fault here by simply being who they are. Famous Couples: Cindy Crawford (Pisces) and Richard Gere (Virgo), Emily Blunt (Pisces) and Michael Buble (Virgo)

Capricorn’s drive, stamina, and discipline provide the backbone that the Pisces has always been searching for. Capricorns know how to get things done and get them done right, especially in business and finance. They seldom question their actions and just go for it, something which a Pisces can’t help but admire. Also, since Pisces tends to spend money a bit more recklessly, they benefit greatly by Capricorn’s shrewd financial planning and investment advice. So what does the Pisces bring to the table? Capricorns tend to be aloof and not evolved emotionally speaking—these goats can be a bit too harsh and cold while climbing to the top of that mountain. That’s where Pisces comes in, softening the rough edges of the Capricorn and calming them down, telling them when they are being inappropriate, mean, or too damn cold-hearted. Famous Couples: Penny Lancaster (Pisces) and Rod Stewart (Capricorn), Christine Baumgartner (Pisces) and Kevin Costner (Capricorn), Pat Nixon (Pisces) and Richard Nixon (Capricorn)

Cancer will feel at home in Pisces deep emotional waters; these two literally are as happy as a crab (Cancer) and a fish (Pisces) swimming together in the vast ocean. They are both emotional, sensitive and moody, and feel as if they have found their perfect soul mate in each other. Whether it is staying at home for a nice evening by candlelight, or reading a book in the corner of the living room while sipping on a nightcap, these two simply enjoy each other’s comforting presence. Cancer is a very witty and driven sign, as is Pisces, and together their conversations will flow smoothly and easily. More importantly, neither sign is afraid to call the other out on their BS, and knows when to leave well enough alone. Their union will be mystical, and their bond intensive and somewhat possessive, but that’s how they both roll when it comes to love. At the very least, both of them will be able to understand each other’s emotional volatility. Famous Couples: Kurt Cobain (Pisces) and Courtney Love (Cancer), Johnny Cash (Pisces) and June Carter Cash (Cancer), Vanessa Williams (Pisces) and Rick Fox (Cancer)

Scorpio’s more intense, sensual qualities invigorate Pisces to feel more sexual and sensual—these two will certainly have a romantically charged relationship where feelings and emotions seem very heightened and magnified. Both are very spiritual signs and will be drawn to an alternative lifestyle together and will judge each other rarely, and love each other permanently. They may not marry, but they will happily spend the rest of their lives together. Intellectual stimulation and friendship rules this couple first and foremost, but a healthy physical attraction is definitely there. They both sense what the other needs (for Scorpio, they need space and freedom, especially from judgment; for Pisces, they need attention, coddling, and adoration). Famous Couples: Kurt Russell (Pisces) and Goldie Hawn (Scorpio), Bruce Willis (Pisces) and Demi Moore (Scorpio), Michael Bolton (Pisces) and Nicollette Sheridan (Scorpio), Tom Arnold (Pisces) and Roseanne (Scorpio), Julia Cameron (Pisces) and Martin Scorsese (Scorpio), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Richard Burton (Scorpio), Alan Greenspan (Pisces) and Andrea Mitchell (Scorpio)

Worst Matches: Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Pisces

Gemini’s mercurial wit and personality certainly charms the Pisces, who is mesmerized by Gemini’s social persona. Both signs are mutable, meaning they are able to adapt to the energy or changes in a room/environment. Their flexibility will be essential in making this pair last. Pisces may want to cling or attach themselves to Gemini’s rollercoaster ride—and it may last for a short while. That is, until the Gemini is tired of being bored by Pisces’ sensitive or possessive nature, desire to stay home, or depressive/quiet moods. The only thing Pisces would love to chat about non-stop is the way they are feeling about a situation, which is probably the quickest way to lose a Gemini who can’t STAND to talk about their feelings all the time and would probably prefer talking to a wall instead. Pisces can be too unreliable and unstable for Gemini, who needs a partner who will ground them and their flighty twins. That being said, if a Gemini has been wounded in love before, and craves a nurturing and committed soul, a Pisces may just fit the bill. Famous Couples: Seal (Pisces/Aquarius cusp) and Heidi Klum (Gemini), Drew Barrymore (Pisces) and Justin Long (Gemini), Ivana Trump (Pisces) and Donald Trump (Gemini), Drew Barrymore (Pisces) and Fabrizio Moretti (Gemini), Callista Gingrich (Pisces) and Newt Gingrich (Gemini)

Sagittarius and Pisces, at some point, will find themselves together. It doesn’t normally last long, and it normally doesn’t end well, but nonetheless, it is a trap they often fall into. Sagittarius falls for Pisces unworldly and imaginative persona. They are so intriguing and ethereal, that the Sagittarius feels challenged to “capture” the Pisces. It is important to note that this pairing is more common when the man is the Sagittarius and the woman is the Pisces. The female Pisces will fall for the charming Sagittarius man who is adventurous, funny and goal-oriented. As she is typically weak on those traits, she feels incredibly drawn to this “foreign” energy and wants to be a part of it for a while. Likewise, the Sagittarius man is humbled by the emotional, sensitive, and creative Pisces woman—she seems so delicate and charming and perfect. That is, until she starts crying because she doesn’t have his attention, or when she complains he doesn’t love her or show his emotions enough. The Sag gets annoyed by the wishy-washy Pisces and her inability to make a decision. Angers flare and the Pisces woman throws a bucket of water over the enraged fiery Sagittarius…and then it is over. Famous Couples: Chris Webber (Pisces) and Tyra Banks (Sag)

Leo is sexual and shows love and emotions easily (and demands a lot of attention), so at the very least, a Pisces and a Leo will not worry about expressing their feelings accordingly. Since Leo likes being in charge and telling others what to do, and Pisces is looking to be told what to do, this pair can actually work. HOWEVER, Leo hates whining and hates being held back by emotionally weakness, such as manipulation, depression, or moodiness. And Pisces do that oh-so-well. As long as Leo can handle Pisces’ emotional persona, and Pisces won’t take Leo’s bossiness as a symbol of domination, they may find love together. At the very least, they will find great sex. Famous Couples: Justin Beiber (Pisces) and Selena Gomez (Leo/Cancer Cusp), Tea Leoni (Pisces) and David Duchovny (Leo), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and Eddie Fisher (Leo), Desi Arnaz (Pisces) and Lucille Ball (Leo), Lauren Graham (Pisces) and Peter Krause (Leo)

Two Pisces together is a disaster. Too many emotions, too little motivation, and far too little direction, leaves these two a complete mess together. Pisces needs a more practical counterpart (or backbone) to make it in this world. Famous Couples: Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig

Surprisingly Good Matches: Aquarius, Aries, Libra

Aquarius has a natural humanitarian instinct, which appeals to the nurturing Pisces. Yet, these two can have a limited fuse for one another. Aquarius tends to be too unemotional or unstable for the sensitive Pisces. While the Aquarius wants to be out and about, socialize and meet new people, the Pisces hates crowds or social events and prefers to be a loner and either stay at home, or watch and observe the crowd. Pisces do better in a one-on-one capacity with someone they know, and nothing, NOTHING, is as boring to an Aquarian as someone who doesn’t know how to carry a conversation with a complete stranger. Aquarius also tends to be a hard worker and puts in long hours at the office, always focusing on making money or vast improvements in the world. While Pisces respects this, they tend to thrive more on balance. Where they will understand one another is in trying to help mankind improve itself. They may pursue it from different angles (Aquarius thinks big, whereas Pisces thinks on a smaller scale), but pursue it they will. Both signs are incredibly charming, so they can channel their flirtatious personas into a very sexy relationship IF they are willing to understand one another’s differences and realize the treasure they have found in one another. If Aquarius is smart enough to acknowledge how lucky they are to have a soulful Pisces in their life to calm them down, and if Pisces is willing to admit they need Aquarius to motivate them to be the best person they can be, then they wouldn’t be such a bad couple after all. They could be great, in fact. Famous Couples: Jessica Biel (Pisces) and Justin Timberlake (Aquarius), Rachel Weisz (Pisces) and Darren Aronofsky (Aquarius), Elizabeth Taylor (Pisces) and John Warner (Aquarius), Stedman Graham (Pisces) and Oprah Winfrey (Aquarius), Paul Newman (Aquarius) and Joanne Woodward (Pisces)

Aries can be very superficial and needs to be in the spotlight at all times. Since Pisces can be turned off by excessive material wealth, this can be a weird match. BUT, if the man is the Aries in this picture, and the female is a Pisces, then there is some hope. A female Pisces loves being taken care of and loves feeling rich, decked out in jewels, fur coats, and expensive décor. She almost has a childlike delight at feeling like the princess in her own fairytale world. The Aries man thrives in providing her all of these things, especially since she looks so great in them and she is so appreciative of these gifts. He provides her not only with material security, but also a sense of adventure. If she doesn’t get jealous of his flirtatious character, and he doesn’t get bothered by her clingy behavior, they can really work well together. Famous Couples: Freddie Prinze Jr. (Pisces) and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Aries), Mitt Romney (Pisces) and Ann Romney (Aries)

Libra is all about harmony, balance, aesthetic pleasure, and peace. For this reason, Pisces can’t help but feel attracted to the world their charming Libra has created for them. As long as Pisces isn’t bothered by Libra’s social personality and constant over-analyzing, and Pisces doesn’t pull their infamous bouts of rage or temper tantrums, these two can co-exist very happily together. They just need to understand that their temperaments and personalities are different—but not different enough to give them a shot at trying it out. The Libra is a go-getter, planner and motivator. All of which are Pisces’ weakest traits. The Pisces is emotionally thoughtful, purposeful and sensitive, all of which can sometimes be Libra’s weakest traits. This pair can be a ying to the other’s yang if the stars are aligned correctly when they meet. Famous Couples: Chris Martin (Pisces) and Gwyneth Paltrow (Libra), Jon Bon Jovi (Pisces) and Dorothea Hurley (Libra), Dana Reeve (Pisces) and Christopher Reeve (Libra), Joel Madden (Pisces) and Hilary Duff (Libra)

The Planetary Wrap-Up: 2009 Annual Review and a 2010 Sneak Peek

And so another year comes to a close. News reports are already polling people throughout the country as to what they think of the 2000s, and whether they have positive, negative, or neutral feelings about Y2K's infancy years. According to the Wall Street Journal, 58% of Americans polled said that the first decade of the 2000s was "awful" or "not so good", and 29% said it was "fair", with only a slim 12% saying it was "good" or "great". Click here to read the article and polling in its entirety.

So, based on those numbers, we have a lot of positive thinking to do! With the first decade behind us, we are now progressing from our baby, toddler, and early years of 2000, to our teenage years. Yikes!

When looking back on 2009 (or the entire decade, if you wish), ask yourself what went wrong, what went right, and how you could have made it better. I think it is also important to take stock of how you did it exactly right. What are you grateful for? What happened that made you a stronger, wiser, happier, and better person? What did you specifically do to change your destiny for the better? If we focus too much on the negative, isn't that an ominous start to 2010?

2009 was a 2-year in numerology (2+0+0+9=11=1+1=2), or, an 11-year if you prefer to use the master number (remember, numerology has 3 master numbers: 11, 22, and 33). The 11 master number (or 2) is about spirituality, connecting to the Universe, inspiring progress and change, and building relationships with others. Typically, the energy of the year begins a couple of months prior to the close of the previous year. With Obama's election in November 2008, we definitely saw the wheels of the 11-year master number gearing up for its arrival in 2009. Watching how the world communicated and built relationships in 2009 (for better or worse), or how our own Washington political parties coordinated to work on new bills and initiatives, tested the power and strength of this 11-year. Everyone realized they had to work together, and those that wanted to fight that energy found themselves in some deep trouble.

2010 will be a 3-year in numerology (2+0+1+0=12=1+2=3). A 3-year can be one of great success, where things tend to move a lot more smoothly, laughter tends to come along more easily, and balance is quickly attainable -- as long as you don't delude your perception of reality vs fiction. In a 3-year, we must learn to decipher what is real from what is fake, what is honest from what is not, and apply the lessons we learned in our 2-year to make our 3-year blessed. Our 3-year has great potential for success, as long as we are realistic and optimistic about how we get there.

And what is YOUR own numerology number for 2010? My favorite site for numerology is Christine DeLorey's Creative Numerology (See www.creativenumerology.com). Check out her yearly life cycle page by clicking here, and read all about what 2010 will have in store for you. After all, how can you draft your new year's resolutions without any insight as to what to expect?

Be sure to also check into when your ruling planet goes retrograde next year, so you can plan in advance for your red circle calendar days/weeks/months. Click here for a listing and brief summary, or here for a quick overview.

But, let's be fair to 2009. After all, we still have 9 days left! Did you feel you moved with the flow, or did you go against the current? How did your year compare to those of your astrological peers?

Capricorn: 2009 shifted your work schedules and priorities. Many of you were financially strained from either a reduction in work hours, or just a reduction in force. You may have been laid off, or you may have quit or reduced your own hours voluntarily. Either way, 2009 brought changes for you on the work front. Since Capricorns don't enjoy change (they say they do, but they don't) and find it hard to leave security/comfort, this may have caused a lot of anxiety for most of you, which translated into some health issues. Make sure that in 2010 you take better care of your body, and also focus on how your career can make you happier.

Aquarius: you worked very, very hard in 2009. Many of you received new jobs or promotions, and they definitely were for the best! After all, Jupiter (the planet of luck and good fortune) was in your sign this year (and will remain so until January 17, 2010). But with new responsibilities came a lot of pressure, demands, and sacrifices. You know it was all worth it, but damn, you need a break! Aquarians tend to be workaholics, notably because they work on issues that they strongly believe in, so they don't know when to quit, or HOW to quit. No need to think of quitting, but maybe just a short vacation to clear out the mental clutter is necessary.

Pisces: while you are always an emotional roller coaster, this year was a fast and furious ride for most of you. Again, many new changes (new job, new home, new zip code, new boyfriend/girlfriend, new engagement/marriage, new baby, etc) came your way, and you had to adapt. Most of you experienced setbacks before success came along, and even though those setbacks were heart-breaking, you are now looking around with a small smile on your face thinking that things didn't turn out so badly after all. And the even better news is that this good luck should continue to stay with you, because Jupiter will be moving into your sign on January 18, 2010, and bringing his bag of treats for YOU in the year to come.

Aries: drama drama drama. You were really pissed off this year with work, co-workers, bosses, and regulations. People got on your very last nerve, and if you didn't outright have a breakdown or quit, you came darn close to it. Most of you sucked it up and kept quiet until you couldn't take it anymore, but were pleasantly surprised to have found out that when you DID speak your mind, you got results. Great! The sad thing is that people really disappointed you this year, including your romantic partners. You started seeing life in a whole new picture--one that isn't discolored with rose-tinted designer sunglasses. Work out your anger in 2010 and channel it into more positive energy.

Taurus: you are feeling like one cool cat right now. You got your man/woman, you got your attitude in check, and you got your business running. Things aren't that bad right now. Some of you made some significant moves in your career or homes (or both), but you haven't been this happy and self-assured of your decisions in a long time. For those that aren't entirely happy yet, you are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 2010 should be promising if you keep up that positive attitude, and continue to let go of the addictions you held onto in the past.

Gemini: it could be better, it could be worse. Many of you found inspiration in your current career and really started getting into your passions and goals. You really buckled down this year and thought about what would make you happy. A lot of you started a new romantic relationship, or strengthened your current one, and things are going pretty well with your SO! Perhaps 2010 will bring an engagement, or a more solid commitment. Your goal for 2010 will be to follow through on the commitments you made to yourself and others in 2009, and, if 2009 wasn't entirely what you wanted it to be, put in the hard work in 2010 to make things right.

Cancer: those emotional waters run deep, strong, and mighty with you, and 2009 was no exception. With all the changes happening in the Universe, you were keenly aware of all the shifts occurring around you. Shifts in everything from people's moods, to the economic climate, to the political status of the world. You worried a lot more than normal, and felt frustrated more than usual. Deep breathes. Stress isn't good for your health, and isn't going to get you anywhere fast (other than a doctor's office). You have felt frustrated that things haven't gone your way, or that you didn't have the power to change things you didn't like, but patience, dear little Crab. After all, you always get what you want, one way or another!

Leo: there is a saying that says "if you are going through Hell, keep on going." You Leos out there are smiling (however bitterly or ironic as it may be) reading that line because you know where I am heading with this. Leos had a tough time in 2009. A lot of work, a lot of stress, and a lot of setbacks (emotional, physical, mental) really wrecked havoc with your sense of stability and security. Most of you were continually beaten with bad news, especially regarding your loved one. Many of you broke up with your SO, or nearly got there, and felt frustrated with your love lives. Your finances were tight, and you just felt very overwhelmed by things. But you are a fighter, and you will persevere. You are great at making yourself #1, so go ahead and do just that in 2010 and see what great results you may reap.

Virgo: it's not a hidden secret that Virgos are complex and hard to understand. Your mind is an intricate labyrinth of ideas and emotions that not even you know how to clearly navigate. One moment you feel one way, the next moment you feel entirely different. This year found you working hard (as usual), focusing less on family and friendships, and more on your romantic relationships. Most Virgos settled down this year, or wanted to settle down badly. They found themselves in new relationships or engagements, and if they didn't, they dated a lot of frogs to get their reward. 2009 was all about finding an SO for the majority of Virgos out there. And the good news is that it worked. Many Virgos have ended 2009 in a stable (or what they consider to be stable) relationship. Finally. Try not to over-analyze it and just ENJOY love in 2010. For the few Virgos out there that didn't find love in 2010, then it is probably because your work was your mistress. So, try to balance the scales in 2010 and shift gears towards love. You really don't do well when you are single or alone, despite what you may think.

Libra: 2009 was an interesting year when it came to family for most Libras out there. They felt unsatisfied with their current partner, and if single, they started wondering if they really even wanted a partner in their life. Libras did a lot of soul searching in general. They started asking themselves some serious questions: have a child, or not? get married, or not? stay single, or not? change jobs, or not? It's been interesting to say the least. I think the key issue is that Libras have felt the need for change, and they can't quite decide yet what they want that change to be. All they know is that there is a glimmer of discontent underneath that smile of theirs, and they are struggling to figure out where it comes from and how to change it. Use 2010 to the best of your advantage!

Scorpio: yours is a sign of transformation, and in 2009, you sure as hell lived up to your potential. Many of you focused on new beginnings and moved to a new town, traveled extensively, or decided to embark on a different sort of journey--the spiritual kind. Either way, whether it was mental, spiritual, or physical, all Scorpios took some sort of journey this year to figure out their lives and what would make them happier. And many of you are slowly but surely getting there. You aren't quite fulfilled yet, you still have some kinks to work through, but like the tortoise in the fairy tale...slow and steady wins the race.

Sagittarius: most Sag's had a lot of things going on for them this year. The majority went through a potent break-up in the first half of the year, and then found themselves in a new one by the 2nd half. This new relationship has brought them more happiness than they could have dreamed, but not necessarily the type they ever thought of having. You are in what is considered to be an unconventional relationship at this point in your life, but it is working for you for now. The fact is, the majority of you Sag's out there are evenly split down the middle as to whether your work, or your personal life, need to be #1. Both need some significant work to be done, but you just can't decide which should come first. You are all pretty much ready to quit your job and move on to the next best thing, and you should start putting your feelers out there. You aren't being challenged anymore, you are just feeling abused and annoyed by your coworkers or staff. And quite frankly, you are bored and tired and frustrated with everything. You feel ready for your next adventure...but where to? 2010 will give you 365 new calendar days to plan it.

You know, people always make comments when anything is predicted to happen in 2012, like “obviously that is if the faction is hush here.” You do effectuate that the Mayans prognosticate the humanity will finish on Dec. 21 (or 23rd)? So in all good chance if anything is accepted to happen in 2012 there is only the slimmest feasibility that the world will contain ended already it happens.
