2012 Solar Astrology Tidbits – Happy New Year!
Assuming we’re all gonna make it through the year, I’ve gone ahead and written a 2012 Solar forecast for each sign. You know the drill – if you know your ascendant, you may read that too. As you know, Solar, or “Sun sign” Astrology is only a glimpse of what’s happening in your life and where your focus is. True astrological insight is gained by studying your entire chart - and the transits and progressions you’re experiencing. That said, here we go:
Aries - Those of you born in the first decanate of Aries ( 0 to 10 degrees, approx March 20th – 30th) are feeling the liberating effects of the Uranus transit. Either your life is a true expression of who who you are, or it will be very soon. I can’t imagine what it would be like to work in a cubicle all day under this kind of transit. Saturn is still working it’s way through your relationship sector, which makes 2012 (through Sept.) the moment of truth in your love life. I’ve seen Aries friends and clients get married and I’ve seen them break up over the last couple years. At the very least, it’s a defining moment. The first half of 2012 should be a period of continued prosperity for you with Jupiter moving though your second house of money and assets. It can also be a time of extravagance, so just remember – it may not always be this good. Your love life improves between Feb. 8th and March 4th and reaches a possible turning point in early November. You have the opportunity to gain ground both career-wise and financially in 2012.

Taurus - March 12th and 13th, 2012. Mark those days in your calendar (or on the overpriced electronic device of your choosing). I really don’t like to use the word “luck” (unless I’m referring to the Stanford QB) however things could really come together for you during that second week of March 2012 – especially those Taurus folks born around the end of April. Once you’ve weathered the Venus retrograde period (May 15th – June 27th) 2012 looks to be a banner your for your bank account. May and June could also be a good period to ponder just why you’re hanging on to that collection of vintage blow dryers. I mean really, learn to get rid of stuff. Reduce, recycle and…what was the other one? Learn how to share in 2012 and the world will be better off. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Gemini - Just get through the first half of 2012 and you’ll be rewarded in the second half. Of course it’s never that simple. The first half of 2012 does present some challenges for those of us who do “electional” astrology. You see, Mars will be retrograde in Virgo from Jan. 24th to April 14th followed by Venus retrograde in your Sun sign from May 15th to June 27th. Picking a wedding date? Want to start a business? Wait until July. Oh no…Mercury is retrograde from July 14th through Aug. 8th. You see how this works – sometimes it involves the process of elimination. All in all, Gemini has tremendous potential for opportunities in 2012, it just may feel like the wheels are stuck in mud for a few months. Trust me – things kick into full gear after mid June, when Jupiter enters your sign and comes within a few degrees of Venus as it moves direct. Saturn will go direct in your solar 5th house in late June and Mars leaves the shadow of it’s retrograde at the same time (I know, never TMI for Gemini). So, bottom line – in 2012 you may move, straighten out some ongoing issues with your children and figure out what you really want in a relationship.

Cancer - What can I say that I haven’t said already in the last two years? I know you’re tired of hearing about the Pluto opposition, and the Saturn and Uranus squares. Most Cancers I know have experienced some changes in their careers, relationships have been a pain in the ass, issues and challenges in relationships, and instability on the home front – depending on whether they’re born in early, middle or late Cancer. Here’s the thing – Cancer is a cardinal sign. Cancer never gets enough credit for taking care of business. Contrary to popular opinion, Cancer does leave the house on occasion, in fact you can be great entrepreneurs. And since security is so important you, you usually have some sort of nest egg to get you though hard times. So where are the blessings to be found in 2012? Your friends for starters, they helped you through most of 2011 and that continues. This might sound like a boring prediction, but you’re likely to become more spiritual in 2012 and possibly even find a guru of sorts. This is no consolation prize. You also have a lot to offer others less fortunate in 2012 (No Lindsay, I don’t mean community service). Focus on staying healthy as the North Node continues to make it’s way through your 6th house in 2012. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Leo - It’s good to be king. The problem is, you never know who your friends are. In 2012, you’ll find out. By the end of the summer, you may be hangin’ with a different crowd. Watch how you handle your finances through mid-April, with Mars being retro in your house of money. In fact, I’d probably hold off on major purchases until the end of June. Hard to do, I know. The fist half of the year could bring a boost to your career, with the period around March 12th looking pretty auspicious. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Virgo - Early 2012 will bring about changes in the way you go about business. Take it slowly and don’t expect all your ducks to be in a row yet. You may feel as if you’re never paid what you’re worth (you cog in the wheel you), but you’ve learned a lot about personal finance in the last couple years and you’ll be better off for this. By the end of the summer your career could take an exciting turn for the better (after mid to late June). If you really want to make the most of 2012, consider taking classes this spring – it will enhance your marketability before the summer when that great career transit kicks in.

Libra - It’s been a long, challenging couple years for most Librans I know – and there are many. Saturn transits can be that way. And did I mention Pluto squaring your sign and Uranus opposing? Those born in the fist decanate of Libra may feel uprooted and home could feel a lot different. If you’re involved with someone, you’d be wise to give them a lot of space. Clingy-ness isn’t going to work. In the words of Elvis Costello – Your dreamboat turned out to be a footnote? Move on – there’s someone better on the horizon – could be a romance with someone from another country by the end of June. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Scorpio - You’re at the end of a cycle this year (until October, at least). Life may feel like it’s been a series of false starts. Don’t despair. You have (or will have) the kind of relationship support you never thought possible. For Scorpios who have been misbehaving: the proverbial chickens haven’t come home to roost yet – but they’re on their way (still pecking around on Libra’s farm).

Sagittarius - Your creativity is going through the roof in 2012. Or, if other factors indicate, you may even procreate. The first half of 2012 may pose some challenges in your career direction – you may feel that things just aren’t moving along quickly enough. Patience is key, it’s just Mars going retrograde in your solar 10th house until mid-April. After that, it’s Venus’ turn to change direction on you. Be very careful committing to new relationships in May and June. Existing ties may be reevaluated – and that’s fine – it’s just the new ones (formed in May and June) that I’d be skeptical of. A new relationship or partnership may begin or blossom after mid to late June. This could be THE ONE – a truly significant other. And, oh by the way, Neptune leaves your Solar 3rd house in February – “losing” email is no longer an excuse. Promising more than you can deliver just leaves everyone disappointed (ask Rex Ryan, a Sag). For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Capricorn - Capricorn LeBron James leaves his native Ohio to take his talents to South Beach. Angry fans in Cleveland burn his jersey. Another Cap, Tiger Woods bounces his SUV off a tree and his seedy private life is revealed to the world. Pluto transits are never a walk in the park (or a day at the beach if you prefer). It doesn’t have to be that way though. Having undergone a serious Plutonian transformation in the last few years, I can tell you this: You will find a reservoir of regenerative power you never knew you had. Early Caps already know this. If you’re born after December 28th or so, you’ll soon find out. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Aquarius - Neptune has begun it’s long transit through your Solar second house. Watch that checkbook. Money can seem like it’s going through your hands like water. There may be some confusion in all matters relating to your possessions, your accounts, and your stuff in general. For those of you in relationships – keep separate bank accounts. Have you moved recently? Whether or not you stay put, it looks like there’s an upgrade of your living arrangement. For more information and to arrange for a consultation, click on the banner:
Pisces - I knew a woman with Pisces rising who bumped into a mirror and said “excuse me”. When Neptune is in your Solar 1st house you may not recognize yourself. But seriously, you have not only Neptune, but Chiron in your sign this year. Take care of yourself now. You may feel as if you’re more susceptible to colds and that glass of Chablis is having more of an effect than it used to. On the other hand it’s an appropriate time to develop your psychic abilities and healing power. Relationships may sputter though mid April. Avoid hasty commitments in the first half of 2012.
