2008 Forecast
So, count yourself lucky that you
survived 2007 with all the various retrogrades and eclipses. It was the
hardest year I've seen in years. It had to be my hardest year ever, but
with the knowledge things would dramatically improve in 2008 my mind was
calmed. Now, for the good news about 2008. Mars finishes up its
retrograde in the beginning months of 2008. Mars goes direct in Gemini
on January 31st. Geminis will get a boost of energy while Virgo,
Sagittarius and Pisces may face challenging moments until Mars moves
into Cancer on March 5th. At that point, Libra, Aries and Capricorn will
hopefully deal with the ending of challenging situations that started
the end of 2007. Cancers will regain their strength in March, so plan
accordingly.
Mercury will be retrograding 3 times
this year in air signs. What does that mean? Challenges in light hearted
issues versus the heavy duty water sign retrogrades of 2007. The first
Mercury retrograde will be in Aquarius and starts its approach phase on
January 13th, retrogrades on January 29th, goes direct on February 19
and resolves finally on March 10th. Aquarians will be quite active
during that time while Leos will find their partner or the public just a
little too unpredictable then normal. Libra and Gemini may enjoy this
time more then others. Scorpios will find challenging issues involving
home and family while Taurus will be challenged by erratic career
issues.
The second Mercury Retrograde is in
Gemini and starts its approach phase on May 12th, retrogrades on May 27,
goes direct on June 20th and resolves by July 4th. Gemini will be busier
or more evasive then usual. Sagittarius will be challenged with their
honeys or the public. Virgo and Pisces will be too scattered to
accomplish anything. Scorpios may enjoy an increased sexlife or
business/joint finances and Taurus will be coming up with various ways
to improve their finances. Aries will be chattier, Cancer will be
quieter, Libra may plan more travels or deal with legal matters and
Capricorn will find a variety of different job opportunities.
The 3rd and final Mercury Retrograde is
in Libra and starts its approach phase on September 4th, retrogrades on
September 24th, goes direct on October 16th and resolves by October
31st. Libras will enjoy being more social while Aries might have
challenges in conversations with their honey or the public. Cancer and
Capricorn face challenges at home or when it comes to socializing in the
workplace. Taurus will enjoy socializing with coworkers, Scorpio will
keep to themselves or share their thoughts with those they love and
trust the most, Gemini and Aquarius will enjoy communications, Leo will
want to be more charming, Virgo will work on plans to make more money,
Sagittarius may end or begin new friendships or goals and Pisces will
work on plans to improve business/joint finances or talk more about sex.
Pluto finally moves out of Sagittarius
in 2008 into Capricorn, but it seems it's a constant back and forth
between the 2 for the whole year. Capricorns will have the best to look
forward to this year if they, as normal, have been struggling over the
past few years to move forward. Relief! Jupiter is also in Capricorn, so
you finally have some joy to look forward to this year. Aries will now
start to deal with major changes in their career or status, Taurus will
experience major changes in their beliefs, legal matters or travels,
Gemini will deal with power struggles or changes involving sex or other
people's money, Cancer will experience major changes or power struggles
with their honey or the public. Leo will most certainly need to make
major improvements in their health regime. Virgo may notice major
changes in the kids or with their dates. Libra may now start to see
major upheaval at home or make major changes there, Scorpio may try to
have more control over communications or make changes in the way they
communicate, Sagittarius will finally have the chance to make major
changes in their finances or values, Aquarius may find it necessary to
make major changes in their negative traits or deal with hidden enemies
and finally Pisces will want loyal or true blue friends as they face
more serious issues in their life. On the whole Pluto moving into
Capricorn will profoundly make major shifts in the earth itself. As
Pluto leaves Sagittarius major truths will be revealed that have been
kept secret for some time.
Finally, as usual, there are 2 solar and
2 lunar eclipses this year. The solar eclipse on February 6th is 17
degrees Aquarius and we all should have started to feel the effects in
the beginning of December if not sooner. Remember, it all depends on if
the eclipse conjuncts, squares or opposes one of your personal planets.
Sure, the sign matters, but what's more important is the aspect to your
personal planets. Keep in mind the solar eclipse (new moon) is
immediately followed by the lunar eclipse (full moon) on February 20th
at 1 degree Virgo. From February 7th through the 20th you may get
sidetracked by obstacles that turn into losses if you're not careful.
The second solar eclipse (new moon) is on August 1st at 9 degrees Leo
and most will feel its effect starting the middle of May through the 1st
of August. Then it's followed immediately by the lunar eclipse (full
moon) on August 16th at 24 degrees Aquarius. Again, take extra care
from the 2nd of August through the 16th not to let any obstacles
sidetrack you from your goals.
