Jupiter will give you both the courage and the ability to make major changes in your life during 2009. Cover as much ground as you can, challenge yourself, take some reasonable risks, go to places you’ve never been, do things differently. Different is very, very good for you in 2009. Break the patterns, the habits, the modes of thinking and seeing the world in ways that you have become used to. Systematically blow up your preconceptions about what reality is and your role in it, then dare to dream new possibilities. You need to do this because in 2010, Saturn in Libra will oppose your sign for two-and-a-half years and your will will be challenged, particularly in relationships where you will experience your greatest challenges. But why fret about what hasn’t happened yet? Cover as much ground as you can and allow your identity to impress itself upon the collective and vice-versa. Be big, be bold and be prepared to go beyond your limitations in 2009, but most of all, be prepared to share your radical discoveries with the rest of us. You need witnesses and we need the stories.

This month, when Mercury hits it’s retrograde position on the 12th, you need to make sure that all of your communications in the corporate world are clean, tight and above board. Don’t try anything fancy, simply stay the course and make sure that you hold others as accountable as they hold you. This will dovetail with a greater, collective energy that will impact the whole as well, especially as it relates to the economy. Uphold your ethical standards at all cost and be prepared to offer solutions to challenges at the highest levels in your work when Mercury goes direct on the third of February.

Your peak months this year are: February, April, May, July, August, November and December.
