Sagittarius: This year rolls out the starting gate with a bang. A very recent or spanking new development gives you the spiritual starter you need to move into a genuinely creative year. While the heart is there, circumstances related to resources and authority figures may interfere during the beginning of the year. Look for legal detours and continue dreaming and creating. You have some fine ideas. Some of you will be creating babies as well. Love and romance is likely to blossom between January and May. You are called upon to find a genuine balance between loyalty to the self and respect for your partner. Overall improvement in circumstances develops in the second half of the year. A fresh working environment or a new job likely comes your way and eases the load of life. Also in the second half you will be aware of the need to channel energy into taking better care of yourself. Changes of poor habits will be easier to make.

Capricorn: Pluto, planet of transformation, has been in your sign for two years and will remain there until 2024. You are coerced into seeing the best and the worst of yourself. Capricorn's most positive asset is the ability to manage and organize, the Great Father/Mother with wisdom for the masses. Its darkest shade is revealed in the misuse of power. Whichever boat you row, Pluto wants the truth to be known. You are asked to use your personal identity in ways that promote the good of all. No hoarding allowed. You may be challenged by a health issue, financial problems or a myriad of other difficulties. Your response must be one of integrity, reaching deeply into yourself for the strength to take your Goat self right up the mountain. Accomplishing that will also guide others to find their way. The equinoxes and solstices are powerful for you this year. These times will demand the most attention. Take special cautions in March/April to avoid accidental injuries. The second half of the year brings new passion into your life and a lightening of the overall load.

Aquarius: You have two ruling planets, each of which rules one side of your nature. Saturn, the taskmaster, the keeper of rules, is the side of you that is dependable and will do what you promise. Sometimes that side is a bit rigid. Then there is Uranus, the energy that demands independence, and the freedom to be creative, damn the rules. These two sides of your nature vie for your attention always and particularly so in the past two years. In the first half of 2011 Uranus has the reins. You may find yourself saying exactly what is on your mind, regardless of the consequences. Perhaps the topic has been eating away at you for a very long time and demands to be heard. Meanwhile, your Saturn side has been attempting to find a sense of balance and peace concerning your belief systems. The time has come to find an outlet for each of these energies. Perhaps you will enter a teaching/learning situation that provides equal opportunity for debate.

Pisces: You have spent the past seven to 10 years thinking of yourself as a loner, "different" from others, and virtually independent. Slowly, during 2010, you have come to recognize that if you maintain that cool identity, you will rob yourself of a true sense of meaning. Now is the time to break out of that mold. It protects your independence but it also presses you into solitude. Begin taking risks and act as though you actually "belong" in the world. Embrace it and develop this new self. Though scary, it is likely that opening the ice chest will somehow result in a greater sense of self-confidence and consequent improvement of income. Unfortunately, Saturn in your solar 8th continues to put pressure on your savings and investments, so getting ahead financially is a challenge. But you may break even by year end. During the last half of the year, life feels lighter and circumstances generally go your way. You will be more likely to travel, especially for short weekend jaunts.
