1st January 2003 - 31st December 2003

GENERAL

The big astrological news of 2003 is the arrival of Saturn at the zenith of your solar chart (3rd June). Saturn is synonymous with effort and struggle but in this position - his own home ground - he is often at his best. On the plus side, past efforts bear fruit and you become more established in your career but on the minus side you can experience the reverse - the rejection of your talents and the loss of position. However, before you assume the worst and decide never to visit Astrolutely.com again let me amplify my statement. There is no point waxing poetic about a planet like Saturn - this is a challenging archetype in the main and you can never cut corners when he’s on the beat. - but to be forewarned is to be forearmed! Mistakes will carry a higher cost than usual and you cannot expect superiors, employers and authority figures to be impressed by charm alone - they’ll need results, facts and figures. Likewise, if you are an employer or you are in charge of people you cannot afford to be lenient. Throughout the year, but especially from June onwards, you must put realism before hope: by making sensible decisions you will save yourself many dramas and dilemmas.

Until the 27th August Jupiter passes through the area of collaboration so this is an excellent year to pool resources and talents. Whether you join organizations for the pursuit of common interests and hobbies or whether you combine your abilities with others for business reasons, efforts should result in success. Indeed, 2003 is all about the joy of ensemble playing as opposed to solo performance!

With the new arrangement of the planets, Saturn, Uranus and Jupiter, it seems something has to give - and you probably know exactly what I mean. If you are doing too much or heading in an inappropriate direction you can expect a route to come to an end between now and 2005. What 2003 offers you is the ability to come into your own power - something that cannot be achieved by playing to the audience and believing other people’s needs, rights and opinions are more valid than yours.

LOVE

The art of partnership is key to Libra: you love being in love and adore making other people happy. However, from mid-2003, a more serious element is entering your relationship life. You’ll want more commitment and support from a partner and you will be less prepared to put up with difficulties and less inclined to run the ship alone. A crisis point may well be reached in late September/mid-October, after which you will feel freer and stronger. Top romantic periods are to be found between late April and end May and early October.

Key Dates:

STAR PERIODS: 29th March - 10th April, 29th April - 8th May

BLACK HOLES: 24th June - 8th July, 23rd November - 8th December



1st January 2004 - 31st December 2004

General

Forget about overnight success - as far as Libra is concerned this is the year of the tortoise, not the hare! Don’t expect any free hand-outs: hard work, some hard knocks and no hard evidence that you’re on the right track will make the first half of the year somewhat trying but as the summer fades, so too does any pattern of disappointment and frustration - late May and late October look to be both the most challenging yet the most rewarding months. On 25th September Jupiter arrives in your sign setting the stage for a twelve-month period of unparalleled growth and expansion. In a nutshell you’ll earn your spurs in 2004.

Love and Relationships

It may seem as though no one is sharing the load - you are on your own. And even in a normally supportive relationship there will be moments when it’s down to you to do all the loving and giving. The lesson you are being given, however, is to become self-sufficient and to recognize your own self-worth. By November a combination of Venus and Jupiter could turn your love-life around: partners will show you how special you are and single Libras could at last meet someone worthy of themselves.

Money and Work

Until the latter part of the year, progress is likely to be in fits and starts but with Saturn’s guiding hand you can reach new peaks of success: during 2004 this planet will help you make your mark in life and it will also enable you to become more financially secure. However, in the spring events could cause you to think otherwise. An old route comes to an end in the first half of the year but with Jupiter’s arrival in Libra in the autumn your star begins to rise.

Go Dates: 8th February, 21st April, 24th September, 12th October, 4th November, 4th December

Slow Dates: 1st and 15th January, 26th March, 19th April, 2nd July, 20th October




1st January 2005 - 30th June 2005

General

What a year! Get off that pretty Libran fence and head up the avenue of your dreams and ambitions. Jupiter's encouraging presence will be behind your every move, and even the mistakes and disappointments that occur should turn out to be blessings. Until July Saturn may prove to be a restraining influence, especially for the 10th - 23rd October birthdays, and the mid-late January or mid-April periods could produce one of the year's only set-backs. You'll see more of the world in 2005, and you'll take a starring role of some description - early February and October have some golden moments. By the end of the year you will have more than you started out with - and not just in financial and material terms.

Love

You are in for a serious ego-boost in 2005, and the source of that uplift could be a new love relationship or marriage. You are more confident than you have been for years and this attractive energy draws people to your side. By the same token some Librans will have the courage and self-belief to get out of an unhappy relationship. The eclipses of April and October exert their biggest effect on your love life, and people you meet then or decisions made could well alter your life course. The first weeks of April and September are other mega-important periods for love in particular and life in general

Money and Work

Once Saturn heads out of the life-direction zone (July 18th) you will have greater success with both personal and professional aspirations. Indeed, some Librans could achieve the high-profile that they have long sought, while others will be able to scale down their work load in favour of more personal and creative pursuits. Even though money will be in greater supply, you are better conserving funds and waiting until 2006 before taking big financial or career risks. Late September/early October is the boom-bust period of the decade!

Home and Family

While Librans tend to put everyone else's needs and wishes before their own - if only you could decide what they were! - in 2005 you have to put yourself first. Whether you need to focus on your professional goals and personal interests or whether your health and well-being take centre stage there can be no compromises. The older generation may not make life easy for you but you can help by creating some firm boundaries. The periods of 10th and 25th - 31st January, 10th April and 22nd - 30th June are all potential turning points for family affairs and life-direction.

FAB DATES: 8th February, 2nd April, 17th May, 18th August, 5th and 22nd October
DRAB DATES: 10th January, 7th March, 22nd June, 21st July, 17th October, 16th December




1st January 2006 - 30th May 2006

General

Many Librans planted the seeds of 2006's successes last year, but if dreary Saturn got in the way of your spirit of enterprise, there are still opportunities to make ground-breaking moves. You are a sign who seeks approval for your actions, which is why your life can turn out to be one long compromise so if you do nothing else in 2006, please put your needs and desires first, and forget about other people's opinions. The theme of enrichment is in your stars, whether this manifests as earning more, making moves that will add to your net worth in the future or finding increasing fulfilment in life and love. October is the best month of the year - a time when ambitions are fired and you're in the limelight - however, March and September require work...

Love

You seem to be losing your desire for harmony at all costs and are instead seeking a deeper, more meaningful exchange in relationships. This trend began last year and reaches something of a peak by mid-November, so don't be surprised of the road to true love turns out to be full of passionate encounters or explosive exchanges! Late March looks to be one turning point for a relationship while May contains the best influences for weddings, engagements and resurrecting a moribund love life. August puts an association under pressure and a separation could be the result of events on or near the 7th or 21st. In a nutshell, Libra, expect more and you'll get more.

Money and Work

This is the growth area of 2006. Perhaps because you are finally beginning to realize that you are a person of value, others are respecting your talents and rewarding you with promotion and salary increases. I'm tempted to say that you can hardly put a foot wrong this year when it comes to backing your own abilities, so don't be afraid to go into business or take employers to the edge. The eclipses of March and September focus on work making these periods the most volatile yet also the most progressive, and an offer or decision made around the 5th May has the makings of serious success. 2006 is a boom year for property matters and dabbling in the money market.

Home and Family

Ruler, Venus, will spend the first two months of 2006 in the home zone of your solar chart, inspiring you to beautify your surroundings and invest in property. Nevertheless, the year has plenty of movement in it, meaning that you could travel more frequently and there could be many changes within the family itself. Jupiter is increasing your fertility, whether this manifests as additions to the family or new creative endeavours. July and August provide the setting for a big family gathering and plans could be made for a long-distance trip in December. Health requires a little more care - too much work and not enough rest could lead to minor upsets. Balance in all things, Libra.




1st January 2007 - 31st December 2007

General

There's more movement to life in 2007, whether you are able to press ahead with plans and situations that were going nowhere begin to budge or because you will be continually on the move. It's also a year in which you'll add to your bank of knowledge and experience: in some cases this will occur through a decision to embark on a study course that will provide you with new skills but for others it will be out of the blue events that give you a whole new perspective on life. This is going to be a variety-packed year; it'll take you to places you've never been before and you'll bring flavours of other countries into your life - and not just through food. You may have to kiss goodbye to a friendship or collaborative endeavour but you'll make a gain in the process. Mid-April inspires a new start; June and October widen your horizons but March and September are tricky.

Love

It's the year of the age-gap. Single Librans may be attracted to people who are much older or younger than themselves while those who already have a partner of a different age may begin to notice the drawbacks. In part this is a temporary state of affairs and reflects your desire to get as much out of life as possible - you're half-way through an ambitious four-year phase - but in a few cases you and a partner are indeed going on separate paths, and the events of early March and late August could prove instrumental in resolving this dilemma. You might also think of this as a year of transition: you are changing, as are your needs, and your love life is similarly unsettled. By contrast, if you're hunting for a wedding day, you might consider the 8th or 17th March or 1st December.

Money and Work

If you're self-employed or running your own business, you may have to let go of someone or something this year. There is a big learning curve going on here, and one of the things you may need to accept is that you cannot give a situation endless time: sometimes you have to be ruthless. In general, and especially during the first half of 2007, your desire to be creatively fulfilled is likely to be at odds with your need to pay the bills, which may explain a sense of deep dissatisfaction with your working lot. This will change. The money you invest in your future in the way of increasing your abilities will be well spent, and you could be into foreign currencies this year, either because you're travelling or speculating.

Home and Family

Change will benefit the whole family now. If you always head for the same holiday spot, change it, and if members of the team want to go their own way, don't fight their independence. Some Libran parents could be taking their children out of school and educating them at home, while others will be even more involved with their offspring's education. And trips to places of historical or religious interest could be on the cards. The eclipse pattern of the year highlights the health sector of your solar chart, so you may be playing nurse rather more often, and you too will benefit from being more attentive to your own health and well-being. Remember, Libra, you're meant to be going places and you don't want anything to hold you up.




1st July 2008 - 31st December 2008

GENERAL

Not a lot of people realize how ambitious you are but you're in high-achievement mode these next three months and set to impress the best of them. In July, the sun's passage through the life-direction zone will put you in the spotlight, whether in terms of your personal or professional life while the transit of Mars in Libra (19 August – 4 October) will help you overcome any and every obstacle standing in your path. Yes, there will be periods in the summer when you can take time out (22nd July – 6 August is one) but even then you'll be preoccupied with your future and getting where you want to be. Don't expect life to run according to plan in August – a plan may be derailed but a window of opportunity will appear almost immediately.

LOVE

Love affairs begun in the spring reach a turning point in the summer. In some cases love will have proved blind, deaf and dumb to reality but for others real and abiding love will emerge out of the haze of hormones, and a life together can be planned. It seems you are at a point in your life where your expectations and standards are higher than ever – you want a soul-mate, someone who reflects your innate good taste and your aspirations – and under August's and September's powerful astro-scape you will take steps to secure what you already hold precious or you will set out to find that person. The periods of the 13th -17th and 28th-31st August could prove crucial in this regard.

WORK AND FINANCE

The new moon of 3rd July ushers in a fresh chapter for your career, which may well be marked by a change of job and certainly new thoughts on where you're headed. This is an exceptionally good month to seek new employment and to invest heavily in your talents. The period around 9th July is very promising and a leap of faith should be taken then. Money and property are well-connected so be confident about any sales or purchases you may make in the summer, and don't exaggerate a financial glitch – it will be resolved. Starting an enterprise from home is the way to go for some Libras and the areas of greatest potential are the food industry, interior design/property and baby-child enterprises.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

With Jupiter in the area of home and family this is the big growth area for 2008. Maybe you have made an upwardly-mobile house move already but if not there are six months to go... And Libra is top of the heap when it comes to adding to the family in terms of babies and in-laws. To a certain extent you have less time for the family and domestic life in the summer – Mars wants you to go-places in terms of material and professional success as opposed to relaxing and pleasure-seeking – but you can successfully channel your energies wherever you choose. Keep an eye on your stress levels, however, and check out any health anomalies as soon as they appear.


1st January 2008 - 31st July 2008

General

Fertility and nourishment are at the heart of your 2008's stars. For some Librans, there will indeed be additions to the family in terms of people and property; for others the experience of being truly at home with a partner - new or old - and for all a sense of expansion at the very roots of your being. Pluto's arrival at the base of your horoscope has been announcing itself on a psychological level for the past year or so, and it is why you have felt restless and as if something 'big' was about to happen. Especially if you have a September 22nd birthday this is indeed the case and although you may well be able to fulfil your deepest desires this year it is more likely that unexpected events will bring you to a life-crossroads. You're a Libra with a difference in 2008 - people who have known you for years will be surprised at the changes within you. And it's a good thing. April is your best month; September the most pressurized.

Love

You are seeking a more intense experience from your romantic and sexual encounters, which is why, if you have been with a partner for some years, there will be temptations to step outside the relationship to find a someone who can match your needs. The September birthdays are front of the queue when it comes to ending long-term relationships and entering new ones, although there is general trend for fateful encounters for all Librans in 2008. The eclipses of 7th February and 1st August play a key part in the changing shape of your love life, and the signs of Aries, Aquarius and Leo will prove significant. Finally, if you're looking for a wedding day, the week of 14th April is terrific.

Money and Work

The combination of Jupiter and Pluto cannot be underestimated in terms of change and increase. January could see you making a radical move, whether to a new company, even a new country, although the whole year offers much in the way of fresh challenges. Some Librans may find fame and certainly recognition for their work and if you're at all creative or entrepreneurial there's no better year to set out your market stall. Finances are in better shape than they have been for a while so don't be afraid to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to backing your own talents. The only thing to watch, of course, is the global economy, which will become increasingly unstable.

Home and Lifestyle

Jupiter's passage through the fourth house of home and the foundations of life brings abundance and joy, in some cases because of new arrivals and in others through the purchase of a beautiful home and a general sense of well-being. Jupiter provides great protection in this position so whatever difficulties arise will be buffered in some way. This is not a licence to take gigantic risks with life, love and your bank account but it is a reward for the efforts and good deeds of the last three to six years. Health will require a little more care and you may find that emotional issues lie at the heart of any physical problems. 2008 is also a year of travel - time to spend your savings on a round the world trip!




1st January 2009 - 30th June 2009

GENERAL

On 27th October Saturn will enter your sign bringing with it responsibilities and rewards. Saturn is said to be exalted in Libra, which is why your sign often achieves great things on this planet's watch. Nonetheless, whatever benefits are set to come your way, it is worth preparing the ground during the preceding months: save rather than spend, stock-pile your resources and ensure that the people you need in your life are absolutely there for you. Jupiter's transit of the creative centre of your horoscope adds many joys to life – a child in some cases, a rise in status or a business venture for others and opportunities to really enjoy life in general. Pluto's passage through Capricorn looks set to re-invent many Librans' lives and from this point on a much tougher, all-or-nothing you is taking shape.

LOVE

How lucky are you! Venus, the planet of love, will be in the area of relating from the beginning of February through early June, so Librans will be top of the list when it comes to getting married and finding that special someone. Indeed, your love life could be the reason 2009 is such a wonderful year. The solar eclipse of 26 January opens a new personal chapter and puts romance in the spotlight – perfect for a Valentine's proposal or wedding – and a journey taken in late May or early June could be the start of something big. As soon as Saturn arrives in Libra, however, the work of love must begin, whether this translates as extricating yourself from inappropriate liaisons and bad relationship habits, or your being the one to support and sustain your partner.

MONEY AND WORK

The September Librans are first in the queue when it comes to major career changes; plus, circumstances tend to dictate your course. And although it might seem safer to be employed by large-scale companies 2009 would be an ideal time to consider starting your own business or becoming free-lance. The Saturn-Uranus opposition affects working life so you are in year of transition – not everything is set in cement, and you should keep your options open. By 2010 your career map could look entirely different. There are no adverse influences to contend with as far as money per se is concerned, and if you do hit a financial rut in the road you have the entrepreneurial wit to find solutions. Late July emerges as one of the most significant periods of the year for life in general and work/money in particular.




1st July 2005 - 31st December 2005

GENERAL

Sometimes the planets promise more than they can deliver but from my postbag it seems Jupiter has given many Librans a lot to be thankful for since October 2004. But if you are among those who have been valiantly battling one challenge after another, Jupiter's continuing presence in your sign could set wrongs to rights this summer. Saturn will release his grip on you on 18th July, removing one or more of the obstacles that have been in your path, and from mid-August there are further signs of increased prosperity, success and happiness. Pay particular attention to events on or near the 17th August and 1st September - they could represent the springboard to a whole new chapter of life.

LOVE

The spring of this year could have produced more than just blossoms on the trees, and brought into being a new relationship, or a new stage of an existing one. If so, the summer, and most specifically the weekend of the 25th June, becomes something of a turning point for that relationship. During the past year you have grown in emotional and psychological terms and have become less prepared to put up with unsatisfactory relationships: your need for love and reciprocity has increased. With this in mind, some Librans will turn a casual affair into a permanent love story before October, while others will consider that a relationship at any price is not a policy they wish to subscribe to any more.

WORK AND FINANCE

Saturn has made your progress slow and frustrating during the past two years, although some Librans have undoubtedly risen to high positions and added to their professional responsibilities, but this phase ends by August and the focus shifts from seeking material and worldly success, to finding creative fulfilment and job satisfaction. September provides opportunities to change direction, and this is not the month to assume that because an organization has been there forever it will continue to be there! As far as finances go, you are but four short months away from the beginning of one of the most prosperous cycles of the decade.

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

2005 is the year of the 'big push', and if you haven't sensed this in regard to your career, you may well have experienced a desire for a bigger and better home and lifestyle. While the summer has its moments of fun and pleasure - June in particular puts travel and distant people and places on the agenda - improving the home and making upwardly mobile moves is the stronger trend. The full moon of the 21st July highlights the axis of life-direction making this latter part of July a time to end a long-standing pattern regarding home and family life and, of course, to embark on a new one.




1st July 2006 - 31st December 2006

GENERAL

Your spirits are higher and your desire to succeed ever stronger, yet you are becoming increasingly discriminating about whom is allowed into your inner circle, and whom you associate with in general. The reason for this is an unconscious knowledge that you are about to make a major leap, whether in terms of your career or personal life, and you need to trim your sails. July is the month to set out your market stall and to close the door on time-wasting activities August puts collaborations and social events in the spotlight while September is all about health and behind the scenes activities - all positive, of course.

LOVE

You are more serious about what and whom you need in life, and much more prepared to work at a difficult union. (And if your efforts fail, much more capable of ending a relationship.) The eclipse of late March heralded change in your love life, and you may discover precisely what this involves during the summer. My belief is, however, that you have reached the end of a major cycle, and in accordance with your new values and self-knowledge, a partnership of equals has never been more of a priority. With this in mind, events on or near 30th September will either bring such a person into your life or mark the start of a happier and more productive period for an established relationship

WORK AND FINANCE

This has to be the big success story of the year. What Jupiter promised in 2005 in the way of more income and welcome financial developments may already have been fulfilled earlier this year and, if not, the quite spectacular influences of mid-to-late November could produce a serious monetary fillip. Not that the summer is entirely without professional or financial merit: mid-July to mid-August brings you to the attention of important people and organizations, and this is certainly the time to put forward your most ambitious ideas. Don't be afraid to go it alone or invest in your own business, by the way - you cannot lose by aiming high. .

HOME AND LIFESTYLE

With all the emphasis on achieving material goals will you have time to enjoy yourself and be with your family and loved ones this summer? The full moon of 11th July brings the issue of home and family versus career into the open: only you can decide where your priorities lie but what you should not do is sacrifice your needs and health just to ensure that everybody else is happy. Aspects to Saturn and Neptune during August thrust a creative endeavour and/or a friendship into prominence: if a minor set-back or delay occurs, leave matters to rest for two months, then try again. September is the month for health matters, whether you're playing healer and helper for others or getting yourself in tip-top shape.
