Your Personal Horoscope 2012: Month-by-month forecasts for every sign

If you are involved in estate, tax or insurance issues, you need more patience. There are many delays here. Things will work out in these affairs, but slowly. Your spouse, partner or current love might feel financially squeezed, but the resources needed are there. He or she just needs to reorganize things a little.

Until the 23rd you are still in a yearly love and social peak. Singles are dating more and have more opportunities for love. For the past two to three years, the social circle was slimmed down, but now it can start to expand again in a healthier way. With Saturn leaving your 7th house this month, a current marriage or love relationship has either healed or broken up. One way or another you are in a new and better social condition.

On September 23 the planetary power started to shift from the lower to the upper half of the Horoscope. Last month the shift got stronger, and now 70 per cent (and sometimes 80 per cent) of the planets are now in the upper half – the career half – of your chart. You are in the daytime of your year once again. Enough dreaming and visualizing, now is the time for action towards your career goals, for making your dreams manifest on the physical plane. If you worked properly during your night period, these actions will be very natural and spontaneous. You will expend energy but it won’t be stressful: it will just be ‘physical follow through’ of inner realities. You can safely de-emphasize home and family issues and focus on your career. Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, enters your 10th house of career on the 17th – reinforcing this message.

Your career planet is now in your 8th house and the ruler of the 8th house is in your house of career (technically these two planets are in ‘mutual reception’ – they are co-operating with each other – a positive aspect for your career). Your physical body has been detoxing over the past few months (and it’s still going on), but your career is also undergoing a detox. You are forced to look at ‘near-death’ career scenarios and somehow see past them. Many of you are actually changing your career. With the 8th house of transformation so involved in career, activities such as surgery, psychology, money management, insurance, banking and brokerage, and ‘intelligence’ are favoured. (This is a long-term trend.) There are many shake-ups happening in your company and industry. The old guard is perhaps dying off (not necessarily physically, but perhaps through resignations and reassignments), and the rules of the game are changing.

There are two eclipses this month, which guarantees that the month ahead will be turbulent and full of change. Happily both seem relatively benign to you, but it won’t hurt to take things easier at those times.

The solar eclipse of November 13 occurs in your 8th house. Thus your spouse or partner has some financial shake-ups and dramatic changes. Children need to reduce their schedules and avoid risky kinds of activities. They seem emotionally volatile and temperamental that period. Surgery could be recommended to you (or to children) but get a second opinion. There are also encounters with death (generally on a psychological level). Children are redefining their image and personalities now, and for the next six months or so. They might be going through detoxes of the body as well.

The lunar eclipse of the 28th occurs in your 3rd house, and it is the turn of siblings and sibling figures to have financial shake-ups and to make dramatic changes. This eclipse ‘sideswipes’ Neptune, your spiritual planet, thus you are making important changes in your spiritual regime and practice. There are shake-ups in charitable or spiritual organizations that you are involved with. If there are flaws in the home, now you find out about them and can correct them. Communication equipment will get tested.

Between 70 and 80 per cent of the planets are still above the horizon of your chart and the ruler of your Horoscope is still in the 10th house of career until the 26th. On the 21st the Sun also enters your 10th house of career, initiating a yearly career peak. There is a very clear message here: focus on the career and let go of home and family issues. This is a very powerful career month and much progress will be made.

Retrograde activity lessens this month, and the planetary momentum is overwhelmingly forward; by the 13th 90 per cent of the planets are moving forward. Add to this the power of fire in this month’s Horoscope and you have a recipe for fast progress and success. The pace of life is quick now – just the way you like it.

Health and energy are even better than last month. Enjoy. With energy all kinds of new opportunities present themselves to you. Doors that were formerly closed are now open. Things that seemed impossible are now eminently possible. You do need to watch your energy more after the 21st, as the Sun enters Capricorn, but this period will not be nearly as stressful as July or October. Until the 11th you can make your good health even better by giving more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. From the 11th onwards you can enhance health and energy by paying attention to the liver and thighs. Water therapies, soaking in a tub, whirlpool or natural spring, are powerful until the 11th, and detoxes as well. Fire therapies – heat, saunas, steam baths, hot baths and sunshine – are powerful after the 11th.

Your 9th house was powerful last month and is powerful this month too. By the way, the 9th house is considered the most fortunate of houses by the Hindu astrologers. This is a happy-go-lucky kind of period. Students should succeed in their studies. There are religious and philosophical breakthroughs for those who are interested in these things (and you will tend to have a greater interest this month). There are happy travel opportunities. But like last month, Jupiter is retrograde, so give these things careful study and analysis. Allow more time for your trips. Plans could change and change again and again.

Finances seem strong this month. Early in the month you have the support of the ‘higher ups’ in your life – bosses, authority figures, parents, parent figures and elders. Your good professional reputation seems very important. Pay rises and promotions are likely. You seem more cautious in finance until the 16th, which is probably a good thing. After the 16th you spend more freely, but you also earn more. You seem very involved in the earnings of your spouse, partner or current love until that date. Be careful of overspending.

Sexual magnetism seems the most important thing in love until the 16th. Good sex will cover many sins in a relationship or marriage. However it is not enough to hold things together. After the 16th there are love opportunities in foreign lands, with foreigners and in religious or educational-type settings. You crave philosophical compatibility in your relationship.
